Chapter 626: Going Home

Gu Qingjiu told her family she would be home later.

Qi Yuefeng and Gu Hong didn’t understand why but had nothing to say about that.

Gu Qingjiu didn’t inform them she would be back today.

Hence after she returned to Dayi City by herself, she first called Helian Niancheng to inform him she had arrived.

She then took a cab and headed home.

Her left arm was bandaged in gauze. Although it was an external injury, Gu Qingjiu had asked the doctor to put her arm in a cast and make it look like it resulted from a fall to align with the story she made up.

She couldn’t move around freely with only one usable arm and even had to push a small suitcase around.

When she reached her apartment building, the friendly cab driver offered, “Miss, with your arm in this state, do you want me to help you carry your luggage upstairs?”

Gu Qingjiu, who hadn’t spoken a word throughout the cab ride, said with a gentle smile when she heard this, “Thanks, but no need. I can bring it upstairs myself.”

With that, she got out of the car with her luggage.

She was able to lift it with one hand, even though it took some effort.

At the sight of Gu Qingjiu, the eyes of Chen Yanhong from the supermarket downstairs nearly popped out.

Especially when she saw Gu Qingjiu’s arm wrapped in a cast, she roared in a gloating tone, “Yo, Gu Qingjiu, what happened to you? Your arm broke?”

Chen Yanhong still bore hatred over what had happened before.

Seeing Gu Qingjiu return home with an injury, she was gleefully smiling from ear to ear.

Facing Chen Yanhong’s nasty words, Gu Qingjiu didn’t completely ignore it as she did in the past.

Instead, as she walked, she threw an icy stare at Chen Yanhong. “Chen Yanhong, you’re still as fond of gossiping as ever. Do you believe that I will cut off that tongue of yours one day?”

Although this time there wasn’t a hint of rage in her tone, unlike those words she had said in a moment of anger the last time, Chen Yanhong felt her heart tighten.

Hidden in the depths of Gu Qingjiu’s pupils was a cold and sharp glint.

This made Chen Yanhong realize that Gu Qingjiu wasn’t kidding with her.

She instantly shut her mouth, feeling a lingering fear.

Though there was still hatred in her eyes as she stared at Gu Qingjiu, she didn’t dare to speak another word.

She lowered her head and didn’t dare to look straight at Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu’s scoff rang in her ears as she went up the stairs.

Until Gu Qingjiu disappeared from view, Chen Yanhong had the guts to make a silent spitting motion towards where Gu Qingjiu disappeared.

It had been several months since she returned home. As she walked to the door, Gu Qingjiu couldn’t help sighing with emotion.

It had only been a few months, and it wasn’t like much had happened, yet she felt as though there had been a tremendous change.

Gu Qingjiu walked up and knocked on the door.

When she left, she didn’t bring her house keys along, lest she accidentally lost them in school.

But when she knocked, nobody responded.

At this hour, they might have gone out.

Gu Qingjiu held a hand to her stomach. She had slept throughout the flight and didn’t eat at all, so she felt a tad hungry now.

Since her plans to give her family a surprise fell through, Gu Qingjiu could only stand next to the door and whip out her phone to call Gu Qingmo.

“Hello?”

But the person who answered the call was Qin Wange.

Gu Qingjiu froze for a moment when she heard Qin Wange’s voice. “Sister Wange, where’s my brother?”

Qin Wange was delighted to hear Gu Qingjiu’s voice. “Ah, Qingjiu, your brother is trying on clothes, so his phone is with me. Have you returned?”

As Qin Wange was with his brother, it wasn’t surprising to hear her say something like this.
