Chapter 193: Could The Difference in Treatment Not Be So Obvious!
He Niancheng was momentarily stunned.
He saw the tears on Gu Qingjiu’s face from the rearview mirror. After yelling at him, she vigorously wiped away her tears with her hands.
She seemed especially aggrieved.
He said nothing and simply looked at Gu Qingjiu.
Huo Yingcheng was staring so hard his eyeballs were about to pop out.
In his many years of existence, this was the first time someone dared to yell at He Niancheng!
And the most important thing was he didn’t react!
It didn’t even seem to affect him.
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Over the phone, Gu Hong anxiously asked, “Qingjiu, why are you crying? Also, who’s the man talking next to you?”
He wasn’t deaf. He heard that one line loud and clear.
Gu Qingjiu sniffled a little, trying to stop her tears. But when she spoke, she couldn’t control her voice from sounding choked. “Nothing... nothing, Dad. I’ll be back soon, I’ll be home right away.”
“Why did you come back? It’s nothing important. Be careful when you come back. I’ll be waiting at home with your mom. Don’t cry. But whatever it is, come back and talk to Dad.”
Gu Hong’s warm voice entered Gu Qingjiu’s ears, and it slightly made her calm down.
Regardless, at least her parents were still by her side. At least they were still by her side.
“Okay... okay, I’m reaching home soon.”
After hanging up the call, Gu Qingjiu returned Huo Yingcheng his phone, but she had her head lowered in embarrassment. “Thanks, Commander Huo”
After all, it’s embarrassing to cry in front of others.
“No need for a thank you.” Huo Yingcheng glanced inconspicuously at He Niancheng. Seeing that he had retracted his gaze from Gu Qingjiu, he asked, “Qingjiu, I hope you don’t find me nosy. I’m only asking. Are you worried that your parents will send you back to your biological parents?”
After all, Gu Qingjiu was returning home because of such a matter.
With her head lowered, Gu Qingjiu appeared dejected. She shook her head slightly. “I’m not worried about that.”
The Gu family absolutely was not willing to send her back to the Yu family.
“Then why are you crying? Or do you wish to see your biological parents?”
“No.” Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips. Her tears had gradually stopped now. “I don’t wish to see them.”
Perhaps even she herself didn’t realize how terrifyingly cold she sounded when she said this.
Just then, someone handed her a tissue from the front seat.
It startled Gu Qingjiu.
She took the tissue from that slim, long, and fair hand. Without turning around, He Niancheng said, “Wipe your tears.”
He sounded as cold as ever.
As if he felt nothing in particular.
Gu Qingjiu took the tissue from him and wiped away her tears, then apologized for the rash words she spoke earlier when her emotions overwhelmed her. “Sorry, Chief Instructor, I was feeling a little anxious just now...”
“It’s fine.”
He seemed to not truly mind.
Next to him, Huo Yingcheng felt even more strange.
He never dared to yell at He Niancheng before. Although He Niancheng shot Gu Qingjiu some death stares after she had yelled at him, he actually didn’t mind it?
Could the difference in treatment not be so obvious!?
After the commotion, none of them spoke for an amount of time.
The atmosphere in the car was quiet and odd.
When the car drove to Dayi City and as she got closer to her home, Gu Qingjiu began feeling anxious.
When she arrived at the destination, Gu Qingjiu was already burning with anxiety. After bidding Commander Huo and the Chief Instructor a simple farewell, she immediately dashed for her home.
