Chapter 688: Did Brother Propose?

“However, they sent Ella back to the States, and there will be a dedicated organization to educate her. If that still doesn’t work, in any case, I’m all for sending her back to her mother.”

Gu Shouyan was used to speaking sternly, and at the moment, her tone sounded very aggressive. “But since your Young Uncle raised her for so many years, it’s normal for him to develop kinship for her.”

Gu Qingjiu shared the same opinion as her Aunt, and she understood her well.

But standing from the viewpoint of an outsider, Ella indeed went overboard.

If they disciplined her too strictly, it was, on the contrary, inappropriate.

Her Great Aunt seemed to relent and didn’t force Young Uncle what he should do.

“Great Aunt, I got it. If I have the time this coming Chinese New Year, let’s go visit Second Uncle and the rest.”

Gu Shouyan fell silent for a moment, then said, “Okay, I’ll try my best to free up some time at year’s end. With the Yu Corporation’s recent acquisition, I’m bogged down by many matters at work, so I can’t promise for now. But I’ll go if I have the time.”

It was rare for her to chat so much with her niece.

She felt that Gu Qingjiu spoke calmly, even though she was still a student. Unknowingly, she started to have a high opinion of her.

Just then, someone spoke on Gu Shouyan’s side, and she instantly said, “Alright, I got to get busy, let’s talk when we meet next time.”

“Alright, bye, Great Aunt.”

After ending the call, Gu Qingjiu sighed in her heart.

Suddenly, everything had ended, and she finally resolved the issue with the Yu family.

Even though the greatest source of hatred in her heart had dissipated, she didn’t feel a sense of emptiness because of that.

After the Yu Corporation was acquired, one could imagine how Tan Yalan and her daughter would end up.

Even if Yu Shiwei had some tactics, without the Yu Corporation as her backing in the future, she would not have an easy life ahead of her.

Unless she was fortunate.

But Gu Qingjiu didn’t believe that.

At that moment, her mind was filled with the international competition three years later. She resolved to claim victory together with Yin Ruoyi.

Or else, there didn’t seem to be any meaning to all her efforts.

However, what she cared most about was going to Penalan with Helian Niancheng, as he had mentioned.

Meeting Helian Niancheng’s parents made it inevitable for Gu Qingjiu to be nervous, especially that his family is of prominent status.

But nervousness aside, she didn’t feel inferior.

Her future was just taking off—joining the Ninth Department, and her achievements in the shooting competitions meant that her military status in the future definitely wouldn’t be low.

She was striving hard independently, and she didn’t have to look up to Helian Niancheng.

Thankfully, in terms of relationship, she and Helian Niancheng were of equal standing.

She loved him, and he loved her too. That was enough.

But what caught Gu Qingjiu by surprise was something surprising that happened to her older brother.

He and Qin Wange were in disagreement, and Gu Qingmo planned to go overseas and had already informed his parents about it.

But he felt it was best that Qin Wange not follow him overseas.

After he went overseas, Gu Qingmo had to settle everything himself. Being an outsider in a foreign land, he was afraid he wouldn’t have the time to take care of Qin Wange.

Qin Wange ultimately insisted on going overseas with Gu Qingmo. Under such circumstances, it was inevitable for there to be a conflict.

But Gu Qingjiu suddenly received a message from her older brother.

He went straight to the point. “Qingjiu, to make myself accountable to Wange, I proposed to Wange.”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

Meow meow meow?

What kind of rhythm was this? She suddenly felt defeated.
