novelShe Bore a Great Resemblance to Her Biological Mother
| ← Ch.125 | Ch.127 → |
In her previous life, she had seen this man once when she was at the Yu family.
The man had a common face, but there were some traits that made him memorable.
Hence, even though they had only met once, Gu Qingjiu felt he looked familiar. She then gradually recalled.
But why would someone who had a connection to the Yu family cross paths with her parents?
Although Gu Qingjiu appeared to be calm on the surface, there was a turbulent wave instantly appearing in her eyes.
"Qingjiu, what's the matter with you?"
Noticing that something was off with his daughter, Gu Hong was bewildered.
Gu Qingjiu snapped out of her daze and quickly retracted her gaze from Hu Yan. She smiled lightly with her lips pursed."Dad, I'm fine. It's just that I seemed to have seen Uncle Hu someplace before."
Because she was speaking the truth, to begin with, no one was suspicious.
Hu Yan smiled as he looked at her."I've returned to the country for some time now. Qingjiu might really have seen me on the streets before. Maybe that's why she finds me familiar."
His vision then swept over Gu Qingjiu's army uniform."Qingjiu you're serving in the military now?"
Gu Qingjiu didn't reply, like how she would have responded in her previous life.
Gu Hong immediately answered on her behalf, "Yes, she's in the Dayi City's military zone."
Qi Yuefeng walked over and sized Gu Qingjiu up. There was a visible heartache in her eyes."Child, you've only been in the military for two months and you became so thin?"
Although Gu Qingjiu had transformed into a good-looking woman, still, as parents, they ultimately worried that their daughter had suffered hardship.
"Mom, what are you worried about? Qingjiu is much more good looking now that she's thin!"
Since Gu Qingmo was slightly superficial, she found her younger sister good looking now that she had thinned down.
Gu Qingjiu smiled, but because her mind was still mulling over Hu Yan's matter. But after a while, she told her parents she'd like to rest and then marched towards her room.
She had returned to her room and sat in silence when Gu Qingmo came knocking on her door.
"You're not feeling well?"
Gu Qingmo came in and asked this. There was a doubtful and worried look in his eyes.
Gu Qingjiu frowned."Brother, why are you asking me that?"
"Don't I know you well enough? Your expression was off the instant you saw the people in the house. Why? Don't you like Uncle Hu Yan and his family?"
When Gu Qingmo entered, he then closed the door to prevent others from coming in.
"No, " Gu Qingjiu immediately denied."Brother, does Uncle Hu Yan and his family know our father for a long time?"
After sitting down and pondering over it, she didn't seem to remember seeing Uncle Hu Yan visiting the Gu's residence in her previous life.
Since she didn't join the military and underwent distribution, she should have been busy learning computer science. Perhaps the reason she didn't encounter Hu Yan and his family was that she wasn't at home.
But this person had appeared at Yu's house.
Based on how the Yu family was behaving, this person should be a senior executive in the Yu family's company.
At this thought, Gu Qingjiu felt that something was amiss.
How did the Yu family find her so quickly in her previous life?
With no connections in Dayi City, the Yu family seemed to have found Gu Qingjiu with little to no effort.
After all, she had gone missing for more than a decade and not just a few days
Moreover, Hu Yan seemed surprised as he looked at her earlier on.
At that moment, Gu Qingjiu suddenly thought of something worth worrying about.
And that was... she bore a great resemblance to her biological mother.
