Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 649: Extra 25 You’ve Mistaken Me for Someone Else
An Junxi and Gu Yikun walked in. Suddenly, so many people appeared in the small courtyard. The little girl looked up, and the young boy standing a few steps away exuded a cool and noble aura, looking at her with shock in his eyes.
Standing next to the boy was... The clothes in the little girl’s hands fell into the water, splashing all around.
He had grown taller; Auntie and Uncle Gu hadn’t changed at all. She could recognize them at a glance.
"He Yiqing, why are you here? Why did you leave Yan City without looking for me?"
Gu Jingxiu had thought about her appearance countless times. He couldn’t believe the girl he saw before him.
He Yiqing was skinny and short. If it weren’t for recognizing her eyes, he wouldn’t have dared to call her name.
An Junxi felt sorry for the child: "Yiqing, what’s going on with you..."
The woman in the house came out. Seeing so many people in the courtyard, she started cursing halfway but was stopped by a neighbor, "Do you want to die? This is President Gu with our town mayor!"
The woman didn’t know the situation and kept cursing, "It’s said she brings bad luck. Lao Zheng left easily, leaving this trouble to our family. It’s really a sin!"
He Yiqing didn’t know how long it had been since someone called her name. She thought she would spend the rest of her life here, never imagining she would see anyone from the Gu Family again.
The woman’s ranting snapped her back to reality. Not knowing how to face so many people, she turned and ran out the back door, "You’ve got the wrong person!"
Gu Jingxiu chased after her, "He Yiqing, I know it’s you!"
An Junxi wanted to follow, but Gu Yikun told her to stay, "I’ll go take a look."
Behind the house was a mountain. He Yiqing ran into the woods and disappeared. Gu Jingxiu wasn’t familiar with the terrain and quickly lost her.
Helpful villagers said, "The mountains here are very dense. If she really wants to hide, it’s hard to find her. She will return home once it gets dark."
An Junxi said, "It’s dangerous for her to be alone in the mountains. Let’s search for her."
The town mayor mobilized the villagers for help. After more than an hour, someone came back saying, "We found her, but she doesn’t want to see anyone. She said if she’s forced, she’ll jump off a cliff."
Gu Jingxiu scolded upon hearing this, "Jump off a cliff? Hasn’t she grown any brain over the years?"
An Junxi told him not to be anxious and spoke to the villager, "Can you talk to her? Tell her that it’s just me coming to see her, okay?"
A willing villager went to negotiate, and An Junxi was able to see He Yiqing. The first thing He Yiqing asked her was, "Did you kill my dad and now want to kill me too?"
An Junxi didn’t know what misunderstanding the child had, "Yiqing, we were all saddened by what happened to your family..."
"I don’t believe you. Housekeeper Zheng told me my dad was forced to his death by the Gu Family and Senye Group!"
"Yiqing, I don’t know why there’s this misunderstanding, but I can assure you that our Gu Family didn’t make things difficult for your dad!"
"What about Senye Group? Jin Xiu’s grandpa is the main culprit! Gu Jinxiu lied to me. He said Lawyer Cheng would help my dad win the case, but he lied!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
The year her family’s incident happened, she was already old enough to understand. She watched as her dad was taken away by the police, turning the glorious He Family desolate overnight. How could she forget?
Housekeeper Zheng took her and hid everywhere, saying someone wanted to use her to force her dad to confess to some crime. Reporters were also looking for her, trying to get information from her.
That year she was less than ten years old. The series of changes plunged her into a nightmare. If it weren’t for Housekeeper Zheng’s desperate protection, she wouldn’t have survived.
Before Housekeeper Zheng died, he instructed her to survive no matter how hard it was. Her father’s death held many doubts, dying with a stigma. She had to grow up and seek revenge for her dad.
He Yiqing didn’t know how to seek revenge; she only knew she had to live.
From a young lady, she fell to being an orphan. The one who deceived her, Gu Jinxiu, was still the little master of the Gu Family. How ironic.
The hatred in He Yiqing’s eyes made An Junxi shiver. Has this child been living in hatred all these years?
"Yiqing, I can’t be sure of Senye’s involvement in this matter, but I can assure you that the Gu Family didn’t wrong your dad. If we did anything wrong, it was not helping your family in time back then."
He Yiqing refused to communicate, "I don’t want to see you guys, or Gu Jinxiu."
An Junxi said, "He is now called Jingxiu. When Jingxiu knew about your trouble, he was very worried. He believes your dad is innocent and promised to help you uncover the truth. Would you like to talk to him?"
He Yiqing’s expression was dazed. An Junxi thought she was convinced, but He Yiqing immediately put up her guard again, "You’re all lying to me. I don’t believe you!"
An Junxi’s heart sank to the bottom. She had initially wanted to keep her nearby to help her. This child had too deep a defense against people; another plan was needed.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Let’s make a deal. You don’t want to see Jingxiu; I can send you abroad to study. You want revenge, right? How can you do that without studying and growing? You’re only fifteen. After studying abroad for a few years, you’ll have the qualification to talk about revenge."
He Yiqing was currently aloof, and it was unrealistic to expect her to accept others in a short time. An Junxi could only use a roundabout method.
She hoped that through education and interaction, He Yiqing would gradually let down her guard. Otherwise, Jingxiu would live in guilt forever.
He Yiqing stubbornly said, "I don’t want to see him!"
"I know. I won’t force you, nor will I tell Jingxiu your whereabouts. But you must go to school, understand?"
He Yiqing’s nose tingled. Why did Auntie have to be so kind? She used to envy Jingxiu for having such a mother.
