Zhu Qian rolled her eyes, put her little thoughts aside, took out a newspaper from her schoolbag, and looked at Xie Jingyao hesitantly, with an expression as if she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
Xie Jingyao looked at her gently, patted the back of her hand, and signaled her to speak if she had anything to say.
The girl's father was a personal guard assigned by his superiors to her and her husband. However, when the information was leaked, the couple was attacked. In order to protect her and her husband, her father died together with those people. His body could not be found. Only three children and a half-blind mother were left at home. In order to repay his kindness and to reduce the burden on their family, they decided to adopt the eldest child in their family, Zhu Qian.
This can also be considered as a comfort to her father's spirit in heaven.
Zhu Qian pursed her lips, handed the newspaper away, and looked sad.
"Godmother, is it because of me that my sister did this?"
When Xie Jingyao heard the word "sister", her expression changed immediately. It was hard to tell whether she was sad or something else, but she was very conflicted.
When she took the newspaper, the first thing she saw was a statement severing ties with her parents. After reading the entire article, Xie Jingyao's hands began to tremble and her face turned pale.
“She…she! This…!”
Xie Jingyao stammered for a long time and was so angry that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Zhu Qian curled her lips slightly, then walked forward with a worried look on her face, handed him water and patted him on the back.
"Godmother, don't be sad. My sister might have something to hide. If you have anything to say, we can just talk to her. If she really minds my presence, I can go back to my own home..."
As she spoke, her voice became tearful and tears welled up in her eyes, refusing to fall.
Xie Jingyao took a few deep breaths, and after she recovered from the stress, she immediately became furious when she heard Zhu Qian's aggrieved and sad voice.
"She minds? Why should she mind?! Who the hell is she? She's the one who should leave! Why should you leave? Sever ties? Humph! I want to see how long she can keep her arrogance without the Gu family!"
As they reached the door, the three people who were standing and preparing to knock looked at each other, standing at the door with awkward expressions, not knowing whether to go in or not.
Gu Tingye smiled embarrassedly and walked into the door first.
The two people who were still crying and comforting each other in the room heard the door open, turned around at the same time, saw two men in military uniforms, and stood up immediately.
"Old Gu, why are you back at this hour? Who are these two...?"
The two soldiers saluted and without further ado, took out a document and handed it to them.
"This is what Comrade Gu asked us to give to you. She said she doesn't owe you anything."
Xie Jingyao and Gu Tingye's faces changed drastically. After a long time, they took the documents with trembling hands.
"Comrade Gu is a protected talent in our country, and his information is strictly confidential. Therefore, for your safety, Comrade Gu said that there will be no further contact in the future. I hope you will live well for the rest of your lives."
Speaking of this, the little brother blushed secretly. Comrade Gu did protect talents, but she was just protecting other talents.
"Professor Gu, Professor Xie, we understand your choices, but we also respect Comrade Gu's. We hope that we can both refrain from disturbing each other in the future."
On the other side, Shi Mobai, the silent man in military uniform, shifted his gaze from Zhu Qian to the Gu couple, a cold look flashing in his eyes.
"Back then, you were the first to be rehabilitated and brought back into the light of day. It wasn't because the people who were watching you gave up, but because Comrade Gu helped you wipe out all the jackals, tigers and leopards. However, your performance after returning was truly disappointing. So, it made no difference to her whether you left the Gu family or not. Without you, things might even be a little easier... uh... hiss!"
His arm was pinched by his comrade beside him. Shi Mobai swallowed the next words silently, almost twisting in pain.
The man sitting upright with a serious face took his hand back calmly. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"I know Comrade Gu is the idol of everyone in your bureau. You're angry about his family's cold treatment, but you can't just throw knives at anyone without caring about their lives, right? Can't you see that the couple across the street is about to collapse?"
The Gu family couple was speechless, and the truth was hard to tell. When they opened their mouths, what they said was completely different from what they thought.
Seeing surprise, confusion, questioning, and frustration on their faces, but not the expression that Shi Mobai expected.
Shi Mobai, who had silently retracted his sharp tongue, sneered in his heart. No wonder the director asked them to leave after delivering the things. Stop talking nonsense. It would be useless to tell them the feelings.
This couple has been completely corrupted by others. They no longer have the qualities that made them well-educated, humble and polite. They were from a century-old family with a scholarly atmosphere and a good family tradition. Their home was not vulgar and their taste must have been high. He can't see where they are at all.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhu Qian, who seemed to be listening to their conversation obediently, and sneered to express his disdain.
With his three white eyes, you can tell at a glance that he is a selfish, jealous, suspicious person who will do anything to achieve his goals.
"It seems that we still need to keep a close watch on her."
There's something wrong with this woman!
Gu Zuozuo, who was far away in the world, didn't know that because of her statement, someone directly repaid the original owner for the eleven years of raising her.
At this time, she went straight to the capital of South Vietnam.
Wherever she passed, people and horses were almost thrown to the ground.
She and the system earned points and their wallets were full. It was wonderful to have a system for each of them. She walked with a swaggering step as if she didn't recognize any relatives in this capital, which in her opinion was not as lively as a town in China.
"So broken~"
Are they so confident as to challenge China? Are they crazy? Don't they even look at how poor their own people are?
【Host, what are you going to do? 】
Watch the host sneak into the commander's residence, squat in the corner and quietly look around.
"What else can I do? Do you know where this place is?"
[I know! It’s the capital of Nanyue!]
It is a little broken, and they have just been unified for a short time. They have not had time to build their own country, but they are daydreaming about provoking China.
"There are so many rich people! Hehehe..."
She has one good point: she enjoys raiding homes! Especially the homes of hostile forces, she loves it the most!
[Hehehe… I like it too… uh]
[Host, I can't help you! I was warned by the Mastermind. It won't let me abuse my power to help you.]
Gu Zuozuo was choked and almost rolled his eyes.
"When I can use your help, you can help me. The rest of the time, stay out of my way!"
This saves those people from the Space-Time Department from having nothing to do every day and staring at her and her little system, as if they are afraid that she will kill everyone here if she gets unhappy!
[Host, you have a criminal record.]
"Bullshit criminal record! I was defending myself!"
"To the point of defending herself enough to take away the former host who had teased her?"
Gu Zuozuo:...speechless\u003d_\u003d.
