Chapter 680: The Reason He Was Exiled

By the time she reached the hotel, it was already night.

She was dressed simply and carrying a simple backpack.

In her backpack, there was her trophy.

This was what she wanted to show Helian Niancheng.

Stealthily opening the door, Gu Qingjiu saw that Helian Niancheng wasn’t in the living room.

But there were indistinct sounds of someone talking in the bedroom.

When she entered, she saw Helian Niancheng in the bedroom. When he saw her enter, he turned around.

There was an icy look in his eyes, obviously displeased.

Gu Qingjiu’s smile froze. She then heard him say, “Let’s talk when the time comes.” He then hung up.

He walked over and said, “The competition has ended, right? You got first place?”

As though it went without saying.

As though it was impossible, that Gu Qingjiu didn’t win first place.

“You know I won?”

The smile came back on Gu Qingjiu’s face once more. She retrieved the trophy from her bag. “Look, my first important number one in my life!”

She had never imagined she would win the first place trophy in a nationwide competition like this one.

Now that she won it, she felt like she could hold her head up high.

As though all her frustrations got swept away.

Seeing Gu Qingjiu show him the trophy as though presenting a treasure, Helian Niancheng’s lips arched in a smile. “Awesome.”

Gu Qingjiu had taken her revenge from the last time. “Back then, you even said I wasn’t as good as other people and that I should continue to work hard.”

She remembered what he had said, even until now.

“Was I wrong for saying that back then?”

Helian Niancheng circled his arm around Gu Qingjiu and suddenly said, “Qingjiu, you’re going to have to make a trip back to Penalan with me this year.”

Gu Qingjiu widened her eyes. “Penalan? Why?”

His smile toned down a notch. “To meet my father officially.”

Although he didn’t wish to go back, he felt he ought to give Qingjiu a status.

Hearing this, Gu Qingjiu said cautiously, “Chief Instructor, why do you seem unhappy every time you mention your father? Did you two quarrel?”

She had thought he would, like before, refuse to tell her.

Who knew that this time, after some pondering, he slowly spoke, “Can’t call it a quarrel. It’s just a difference in opinion. It was his idea to exile me to China.”

“Exile?”

It confused Gu Qingjiu. She had long heard of this exile matter, but she didn’t know the reason behind.

“Mm, exile.”

He repeated. He then recounted the incident from the past. “Back then, my aunt and mother came to China because of this.”

“At the time, I felt some resentment towards him. But now looking back…”

He caressed Gu Qingjiu’s smooth face with his fingers. “I’m quite grateful to him for making me come here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met you.”

Gu Qingjiu gulped down her saliva. “Why did he exile you? Your status should be quite high in Penalan?”

“That’s because I once held a position in the military, and my uncle got his illegitimate son into the army through some means, and that illegitimate son violated my orders and even wanted to seize my position.”

As he recounted this incident, he suddenly exuded a merciless, bloody vibe. “So I killed him.”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

“In essence, I did nothing wrong. But my uncle seemed to think that this illegitimate son was very important, so he viewed me as his enemy. My father also felt that I was wrong. He made me apologize, but I refused. Hence, I was exiled.”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
