Chapter 580 I'll Take You Home

ion to make.Suddenly, the woman across from him slumped and closed her eyes."Yiyi..." Jun Zhi Mu swayed her, his face etched with anxiety."Liu Yiyi is very weak," another helicopter landed, and Pei Ha...Gu Ruqing's sudden appearance took everyone by surprise.

A person once thought to be dead stood right before her eyes. Qiao Bao'er froze at the doorway, staring at her biological mother. After so many years, her appearance hadn't changed much; she was still strikingly beautiful and full of charm.

Gu Ruqing's every smile and frown, like a true noblewoman. "Baby," she said softly, with dignity.

Qiao Bao'er reacted slowly, nodding. She couldn't even bring herself to call out "Mom" at that moment.

Her mother's behavior and demeanor had changed a lot.

Compared to the mother Qiao Baoer remembered, who often lost her temper and was spoiled and capricious, her current mother seemed to have gone through many etiquette lessons and was more graceful.

Compared to Qiao Bao'er's shyness, Gu Ruqing spoke with a smile and calmness, "Baby, Mom wants to discuss something important with you alone. Can you come out with me now..."

"...where are you taking my daughter when you come back!"

Behind him, Qiao Wenyu's voice, filled with anger, resentment, and complex emotions.

Gu Ruqing raised her eyes and glanced into the room. A faint smile still lingered on her face, "...Long time no see."

She could still be so nonchalant, saying "It's been a while" as if nothing had happened.

Back then, she was determined to leave, to leave and find her lover.

Abandoning her husband, she left with resolute determination.

To preserve her honor, he went to great lengths, claiming she had passed away. His daughter, grieving for her supposed death, harbored resentment towards him.

After so many years, meeting again. Gu Ruqing, how can you face me so calmly

Qiao Wenyu stood stiffly, staring intently at the woman standing in the doorway. She was still beautiful, her laughter and gestures radiating an even more distinguished air than before. The years he had endured felt like a dream; she had reappeared before him as if by magic.

"...Sister."

Gu Ruyue stared in surprise at the woman at the door, for a long time she didn't react, and finally cried out.

"Little Smoke"

Gu Ruqing saw her own sister, her tone seemed a bit surprised, "You've changed a lot, have you suffered a lot these years"

Gu Ruoyan is no longer the Gu Family's Second Miss she once was. Over the years, she has cut off her long, flowing hair, and now sports a short bob that falls to her shoulders. There is no elaborate makeup or adornment, making her appear as a very plain middle-aged woman.

Faced with this question, Gu Ruoyan's expression became a little awkward.

Actually, the two sisters don't look alike at all. Her older sister was a beauty from birth, with outstanding talent, an elegant and aloof demeanor, attracting attention wherever she went. In contrast, her younger sister seemed much more ordinary, like a typical little girl from an average family, unremarkable.

After so long without seeing each other, Gu Ruyue felt a bit awkward around her elder sister.

Let me just say, "Sister, come in and sit down."

Gu Ruqing raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze meaningful as she looked around the room. The corners of her lips remained curved into a faint smile. She took a step into the Qiao family mansion, a place that had once been her home.

Now her younger sister, like the mistress of the house, invited her in. Gu Ruqing felt a touch of mockery in her heart.

Upon entering, he looked around without much change in emotion, like a tourist sightseeing.

The decor in Qiao's house hadn't changed much. It was still the same cabinet, with the same few photo frames on top.

Her indifferent eyes made Qiao Wenyu's heart ache. In her eyes, this home had always been so insignificant.

Grandma Qiao, sitting on the sofa, seemed to be frightened. She sat stiffly, appearing helpless and nervously staring at Gu Ruqing before her, as if she had seen a ghost, not daring to breathe.

Gu Ruqing glanced at the old man, still smiling at the corner of her mouth, as if seeing a stranger. There was no hostility or affection in her eyes.

Her noble gaze, every gesture she made, seemed to want to be different from ordinary people.

"Grandma Qiao, it's been a long time." Her voice was gentle, yet distant and elegant.

The old man nodded stiffly.

Only then did Qiao Bao'er remember that back at home, her mother had never called Grandma "Mom."

The Qiao family's success is largely attributed to the support of the Gu family. Although her father, Qiao Wenyu, can't be said to have married into the family, he seemed to rely on his wife's connections to establish his career. Therefore, her grandmother has always been too afraid to criticize her mother-in-law.

Probably because she had been repressed for too long, after her mother left, grandma became very materialistic.

And all of that is now water under the bridge.

"... This is Bao'er's husband." Gu Ruyue introduced.

"I know."

Gu Ruqing glanced at Jun Zhimu who was sitting on the sofa. Her expression had become colder.

Gu Ruoyan saw her sister-in-law's cold attitude towards her son-in-law and didn't think much of it. Her sister's personality was probably because Jun Zhim牧 hadn't come forward to show his affection, so she wasn't very happy in her heart.

Jun Zhimu had absolutely no intention of standing up to show goodwill to this mother-in-law. His brows furrowed as he looked at Gu Ruqing. Her features were so similar to Qiao Bao'er, with only their eyes and temperament different.

Gu Ruqing's eyes were filled with tenderness, bewitchingly so, while Qiao Baier's pupils were clear and bright, her love and hate evident.

"Where is Ye Wei"

Gu Ruqing sat down on her own, glanced around, and asked in a very calm tone.

When she left, Ye Wei was being flirty with Qiao Wenyu.

Many years ago, Ye Wei's tricks of stealing men, she never took them seriously.

On such a sensitive topic, only Gu Ruoyan could answer, “... Ye Wei is no longer living here.”

"Did Qiao Wenyu really marry her" Gu Ruqing's voice was full of surprise, but there wasn't a hint of jealousy or discontent. It was as if she had heard a piece of gossip.

Her nonchalant teasing tone made both Qiao Wenyu and Old Madam Qiao feel very embarrassed.

Gu Ruyan just wanted to end the topic quickly, "We're divorced, and I don't live here anymore."

Gu Ruqing's face was bright with a smile, "Children who play at home, how long can they play"

"Saying that, she turned her head, still smiling, “So Little Smoke married in after that, right” "

Gu Ruqing's words were astounding.

Gu Ruoyan's face changed drastically instantly, and she stammered nervously, "Sister, you, you mustn't talk nonsense!"

"You guys are doing great, like a real family."

"Aren't you always fond of your brother-in-law"

Yes, Gu Ruyue did have a crush on her brother-in-law in the past. She felt sorry for her sister and developed feelings of pity for him. At that time, she didn't understand what love was, she just had admiration.

Gu Ruoyan was like having her scars ripped open. Her words hit the nail on the head, causing her to feel deeply embarrassed and furious.

"Dad, when it comes to being a person, you have to have a bottom line. I can't possibly marry my sister-in-law. I stayed here to take care of them and live with them because we are family."

Gu Ruoyan's voice trembled with indignation and excitement.

For so many years, her sister just disappeared.

Leaving her niece orphaned, Qiao Wenyu, at the time, was consumed by rage and lashed out at the child. This shattered the family.

Though she was only an aunt, she couldn't stand seeing her niece remain single. She never found anyone she liked and spent her life taking care of her niece.

Her elder sister came back, but acted aloof and condescending, speaking in a cool and sarcastic manner.

Gu Ruoyan has always resented her, thinking she's too selfish.

When it's time to leave, just go, without hesitation.

Coming back unexpectedly, but still putting on an airs of a master.

Qiao Wenyu's feelings for Gu Ruqing were complicated. Facing her, who was still beautiful, graceful, and even more elegant than before, he always felt a bit inferior. After so many years, beauty no longer mattered to him; instead, he felt that the more beautiful a woman was, the more venomous her heart. But this feeling of inferiority seemed impossible to forget.

“What brings you back suddenly” he asked, his right hand clenched into a fist, his voice cold.

Qiao Wenyu wanted to get straight to the point, take back the initiative, and negotiate with this woman to leave as soon as possible.

Do not interfere with his peaceful life anymore.

Gu Ruqing raised her brow, looking at him. There was no trace of the passionate infatuation from those years in his eyes anymore. She turned her face away nonchalantly, "...I thought you wanted to see me." Her tone was full of confidence.

Once, he knelt down and begged her not to leave.

For so many years, she believed that no matter what kind of woman Qiao Wenyu found, she would be irreplaceable.

Qiao Wenyu must think of her every day.

For a moment, Qiao Wenli was speechless. He didn't know how to refute her words. This woman seemed to see right through him.

He always dreamed, whether he would have another chance to see her in his lifetime.

Gu Ruoyan couldn't stand it any longer, "Sister, what are you really back for"

She knows her sister very well. If she wasn't coming back with a purpose, she would never come back again.

Gu Ruqing didn't like being spoken to in that tone. Her voice carried a hint of displeasure, "Xiao Yan, you're the baby's aunt, I'm her biological mother...Just because you can live here, why can't I come back" Her tone was calm, but her eyes were sharp.

Her words and actions were graceful and dignified, revealing that she was the true mistress of the house, whether she wanted it or not. As long as she returned, she remained the master of this place.

Gu Ruoyan couldn't refute, her sister was just that competitive.

Even if it's something she doesn't want, it's still hers.

Gu Ruting seemed unwilling to chat with them any longer. She turned to Qiao Bao'er, a smile in her eyes, "Bao'er, I'm taking you home with me this time."

Qiao Bao'er looked at this unfamiliar mother. From the moment she appeared, she felt a sense of detachment, and she didn't understand the meaning of the words.

"I'll take you home with me, to your biological father's house..." Gu Ruqing's tone was a touch arrogant.

I disagree.

Junzhi Mu suddenly interrupted her, his voice low and firm.the doctor, saying it made his skin tingle, and was even considering not using it at all. Since she hadn't been keeping an eye on him for a week, it's quite possible he just tossed the ointment aside....
