Chapter 825
It took four whole years in prison for that.
The mind suddenly felt just as ironic.
She looked at Gu Si Qian and asked in a deep voice, “Do you really believe that I pushed her down?”
Gu Si Qian’s face was cold and hard, “The facts are in front of you.”
Bella Qiao burst out laughing.
She laughed so sarcastically, so sadly, and sat quietly, like a pale paper kite.
She said softly, “I thought that four years ago you didn’t believe me, and now that it’s four years later, you’ve come to me again and forced me to stay because you’ve discovered the error of your ways and hope that we can start over, or at least hope that I can accept you again.
But now I realize that I was naive, and that a person who once didn’t believe in you will never believe in you, no matter how long it has been or how much he has been through.
I don’t hate you, Kusken, really, I just find it a little funny that you can never see clearly what everyone else can see clearly.”
She paused, as if she didn’t even have the strength to say another word.
Much less want to explain.
A silence fell around them.
Not bothering to stay here any longer, Bella Qiao turned to Xiao Yue and said, “Let’s go back.”
Moon answered yes, which pushed the wheelchair and left together.
The castle was haunted for a long time that night.
In the middle of the night, I also heard the sounds of people coming and going next door to the secondary building and the sound of women crying.
Bella Qiao knew that it was the maids serving Yusra Lin who were busy, as well as Yusra Lin selling her grievances to Gu Siqian.
She sat at the floor-to-ceiling window in her bedroom, looking out at the night, unable to tell what she was feeling.
The reason I agreed to stay in the first place, to say that I didn’t have a little hope in my heart, is impossible.
There had been so many things, misunderstandings and tangles, right and wrong, and she was tired of not even wanting to worry about it.
I thought to myself that it wouldn’t be a bad thing if I could really let go of the past and start over.
But now it’s clear where in the world to start over.
Some things, once they happen, are like sticking a thorn in the heart.
Even if it usually seems fine, when it comes to the crunch, that thorn will come out and remind you how much it hurts.
Georgie closed her eyes.
It took a long time before I took out my phone and made a call out.
“Hey, Hachi, it’s Georgie, please do one more thing for me.”
……..
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Yusra Lin sat on the bed, looking aggrieved.
When the doctor arrived, he quickly gave her CPR, and when she woke up, Gu Siqian had her sent back to her room.
By this time, she had already changed her clothes, drank the ginger soup that warded off the cold, and was sitting there, waiting for Gu Siqian’s release.
Today, she knew that she could fool others, but not Gu Siqian.
As to why the man was playing along with her at the time, she was currently unsure.
Here, she couldn’t help but look up at the man.
I saw him sitting in the couch across the room, his aura cold and his brow downcast.
She was a little guilty, and only after a half-hearted moment did she ask in a low voice, “Si Qian, what’s wrong with you?”
Gu Si Qian said in a deep voice, “Why do you do that?”
Yusra Lin was stunned.
Then reacted that he was asking about his day, not biting his lip.
“We made a bet, didn’t we?You promised to let me test if Bella Qiao still has you in his heart before I go to Nan Muyong’s place for you.”
Gu Si Qian sneered, “Is that how you’re trying it out?”
Yusra Lin was suddenly righteous.
“If you don’t test it that way, how are you going to test it?You know, but whenever there’s a man in a woman’s heart, the most direct sign is jealousy, and the more jealous she is, the more she cares about you, otherwise…”
She paused, looking at him with a hint of caution.
“Or she just doesn’t love you anymore.”
Gu Siqian sneered again, “Then from what you see, does she still love me now?”
Yusra Lin laughed dryly.
“You wouldn’t be upset if I told you the truth, would you?”
Kuskan didn’t say anything.
Yusra Lin saw the situation and had to stop the little thoughts in her heart and said honestly, “I don’t know what she’s thinking inside, but on the surface right now, I feel like she doesn’t care much about you.”
Gu Si Qian’s brows knitted together.
Yusra Lin continued her analysis: “Nah, you see, when you misunderstood her, she wasn’t excited at all, and didn’t even want to explain, which shows that she doesn’t care about her image in your heart at all, although it’s possible that it’s because she’s a bit indifferent, which is just her normal reaction, but today at noon just for a maid, she can be so enthusiastic to help out, why is it that in yourShe seems so cold on the matter?”
That, however, caused Gu Siqian to frown.
Yusra Lin saw that he was responding and spoke even more cheerfully.
“And if you were so ruthless to her at first, if it were a different woman, I’m afraid she would have hated you already, and how could she agree to renew her relationship with you.”
Gu Si Qian sneered.
“Who wants to reconnect with her?”
Yusra Lin stalled.
I thought to myself, “Well, men sure are tough talkers.
But that’s good, it makes it easier for misunderstandings to arise between the two men.
Thinking about it, she said with a twinkle in her eye, “Why don’t I go apologize to her tomorrow?Since you’re so sad to see her upset, I’ll go apologize and let her take it out on me, and she’ll probably stop being upset.”
However, Gu Si Qian’s eyebrows suddenly sank.
He said coldly, “No more of her.”
After saying that, he stood up, and before Yusra Lin could react, he had turned around and strode towards the door.
Her heart swelled with disappointment, just then, Gu Si Qian suddenly paused and said, “Five days later, it’s the birthday of the old lady of the Nanfu, I’ll bring you over then, as for what to do, you understand.”
Yusra Lin’s heart thudded.
The face changed, “So soon?”
Realizing what she had said, her face changed slightly again and she looked at him carefully.
“Didn’t you say that you would allow me to test her for you and wait for the results to come back before going over?”
Gu Si Qian turned back and gave her a cold look.
Scoffing, “Do you seriously think that I agreed to you because I didn’t know if she had me in her heart?”
Yusra Lin was stunned.
Immediately after that, Gu Si Qian’s cold and deep voice was heard.
“I’ve known her since she was eight years old, I know exactly what she’s thinking and doing, never needed an outsider to prove it to me, and the reason I agreed to you was just a whim and a desire to see her jealous, but now I’ve achieved my goal.”
“As for that promise of yours, uh!You’ve never had a chance of winning, so I advise you to die and put your mind to Nan Muyoung, and maybe even find your way out.”
Chapter 826
He said, and then ignored her again, turning and striding out.
Yusra Lin was completely dumbfounded there, and only after a long time did she react, her face changing dramatically.
Jackie had some trouble sleeping at night.
I don’t know if it was because of what had just happened, or because she was upset herself, but she lay on the bed with her eyes closed for a long time trying to fall asleep.
Opening her eyes to darkness, she turned her head slightly and got the remote from the bed, opening the curtains to see the silvery moon pouring in from outside.
Suddenly I remembered a long time ago, when I was still in the orphanage.
It was also one of those nights, summer, when the moon was bright and full of stars.
She couldn’t sleep, so she quietly went to the kitchen and stole a melon, then climbed the stairs at the back of the yard and sat on the roof to watch the stars.
As we knocked melon seeds and looked at the stars, the cool night breeze hit us, as if even the wind was sweet.
Just then, a teenager’s cold drink came from under the house.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
She was so startled that she thought it was the dean’s grandfather and just wanted to get up and bolt, but then she stepped on a mossy piece of broken tile and plummeted to her knees.
The teenager was probably scared, too, and watched her fall, but she just stood there, unmoving.
It turned out well, she fell right where he was standing and poof, they fell to the ground together.
The teenager was so sore from her hitting him that his bones were falling apart and they had a hard time getting up off the ground.
As soon as she saw it was him, she immediately became angry and punched him in the shoulder.
“What are you yelling about?I was so scared, I thought it was Grandpa Dean coming.”
Little Gu Si Qian covered his chest that was hurt by her smash, but he also looked angry.
“You don’t fall asleep in the middle of the night, go sit on the roof, and blame someone for not calling you?”
At the mention of this, Georgie fell a little guilty.
All I could say weakly was, “What’s that got to do with you?”
Gu Si Qian was furious, but there was nothing he could do with her, so he could only snort.
“If you keep this up, I’m going to tell Grandpa Dean to teach you a lesson.”
Bella Qiao was afraid at the news.
She’d had a hard time finding a place to settle down, with clothes to wear, food to eat, and school to attend, and she didn’t want to be thrown out.
So hurry up and pull him, pleasing: “Well, well, count me wrong yet?Don’t you go telling Grandpa Dean.”
Only then did Gu Si Qian snorted, and that was the end of it.
As they stood in the small courtyard, he looked up, looked at the roof, and was suddenly curious.
“Is it really that comfortable to sit up there?”
Bella Qiao said, “Of course, the inside of the house is stuffy and hot, but the roof is different, it’s cool and you can look at the stars, do you want to try it too?”
Kushikan grew up board and board learning the rules and never attempted them.
So I shook my head without even thinking about it.
“I don’t want to.”
Unexpectedly, Georgie was in a mood.
Pulling him, he said, “Eh, don’t be so quick to say no, just give it a try, maybe you’ll fall in love with it?I’ll take you up.”
He was reluctant, but couldn’t resist her enthusiasm, so he ended up climbing the stairs up with him in a bit of a twist.
The world of the roof is decidedly different from the ground.
It’s as if the sky is overhead and you can reach out and touch it.
Although the orphanage house wasn’t the tallest, it was considered a relatively tall building for this barren town.
So, sitting on the roof, you can still see the surrounding scenery, the sky and the sea, and a great sense of openness.
He couldn’t help but feel better, and finally understood why she liked climbing the roof so much.
Just then, Georgie also pulled out of her pocket and pulled out a handful of melons for him.
He froze, and before he knew it, he heard a crisp sound and the girl had dropped a melon into her mouth, relishing it.
Turning, he saw that he was still staring and raised an eyebrow.
“What are you staring at?Knock on wood, you can’t just sit here and blow off steam, how boring is that?”
When he saw it, he followed her example and dropped a melon seed in his mouth, knocking it up.
A reserved teenager who had never tried anything like this before.
Riding on the roof most of the night, knocking melons and looking at the stars.
I was refusing inside, but for some reason, looking into her shining eyes, my body unconsciously obeyed her decision.
Later, little Kuskan had been secretly annoyed.
Does this little girl have any magic powers?How come you’ve become as deviant as she is?
This is outrageous!
However, it’s one thing to think in your mind and another to act on it.
Later in the day, under the guidance of Kitty Qiao, he followed her to do a few more out-of-the-box things.
Almost always, my mouth says no, but my feet follow suit.
Gradually, they both grew up.
I don’t know when it went from her leading the way in doing bad things and him following behind, to him leading the way and her following behind.
Probably… it started when Gu Si Qian left the orphanage and changed back to his identity as Gu’s third young master?
Bella Qiao also didn’t know, she just vaguely noticed when they met again that the man in front of her was no longer the simple young man who had been playing with her all day.
The night breeze was blowing, and Bella Qiao’s thoughts drifted far away.
It was as if I had passed through the heavy flood of time and returned to that sunny, warm afternoon.
The teenager sits under a grape arbor in the courtyard, she steps in, meets him, and is then amazed throughout her youth.
……..
It’s late at night.
Georgie didn’t know when she fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, she had a dream in a daze.
In the dream, it was a world of swords and swords, mountains of corpses and blood, countless shouts and sounds of fighting mixed together to create a side of chaos and misery.
She walked aimlessly with her hair down, watching her companions fall one by one, trying to reach out to pull them, but her hand reached out only through the other person’s identity, and it wouldn’t pull at all.
Just then, a bullet was fired, straight at her companion.
She stared at him and opened her mouth to yell at him to be careful, but her mouth was open and she couldn’t make a sound.
In the end, he could only watch him die with a bullet in his brow and with resignation and pain in his eyes.
“Ah-!”
Kitty Jo snapped awake.
When I opened my eyes, it was pitch black and the wall clock next to me was ticking away, but it was four in the morning.
She closed her eyes for a half a moment before opening them again and sitting up.
I was covered in cold sweat from the nightmares, and my pajamas were wet and sticking to my body a bit.
Bella Qiao sat for a while, after all the dreams in her mind dissipated, then she lifted the covers off the bed and walked to the bathroom.
Chapter 827
Since she wasn’t healed enough to take a shower herself, she wrung out a towel and simply wiped it off.
Come out, change into clean clothes, and look at the time, it’s six in the morning.
Summer mornings dawn early, and even though it’s only six o’clock, the sky is already hinting at the whites of fish bellies.
Georgie couldn’t sleep either, so she simply made herself a cup of tea and took her wheelchair out onto the terrace to watch the sunrise.
Unexpectedly, before the sunrise could come, a car engine could be heard from downstairs first.
She froze slightly and stretched her neck to look.
But I saw a black SUV coming out of the garage and heading towards the castle gate.
Bella Qiao didn’t frown.
After living in the castle for so long, she certainly recognized that it was Gu Siqian’s car.
Usually, wherever he goes, that’s the one he loves to drive.
But it’s so early in the morning, where can he go?
A pang of doubt rose in her heart, but it was obviously not convenient to follow now, so Georgie had to stop.
And now, the other side.
Inside the car.
Gu Si Qian was looking down at the information on the computer in his hand, only to see that there was some character information on it.
The person driving the car was Qin Yue, and as he drove, he reported to him, “Boss, these people have all been checked out, they were once the core of the Vermilion Bird Society, and after the accident at the Vermilion Bird Society, these people disappeared en masse.
Everyone out there thinks we secretly took them out, but the truth is that we’ve been looking for them for years.
But in the past few years, these people have just as well disappeared, and no matter how much I’ve investigated, I haven’t found the slightest trace of them.
It’s only in the recent past that they have suddenly appeared and made many massive moves.
According to my investigation, the people who tried to kidnap Miss Qiao last time are not only related to the Chinese Club, but also to this group of people.”
When he said that, he only saw Gu Si Qian move.
In the meantime, “They’re not from the Chinese Society?”
Qin Yue shook his head.
“Although they all apparently joined the Chinese Society after the incident at the Vermilion Bird Society, they’re not actually on it, and from what I can guess, they’re not really affiliated with the Chinese Society and aren’t really committed to it.”
Gu Si Qian put down the information and looked hard to be serious.
“How so?”
“Because I’ve checked, and while it’s true that the people who kidnapped Miss Qiao before were ordered by the Chinese Club boss, they actually met these people from the Vermilion Bird Society alone the night before the operation.”
Kuskan frowned.
Qin Yue continued, “Although these people have joined the Chinese Association, they are not in their core area and are not even as high as these people in the organization, so why would they want to meet him alone?That’s suspicious.”
When he said that, Gu Si Qian also found out.
He was silent for a moment and said coldly, “Keep investigating, and let me know at once if you have any news.”
Qin Yue said in a deep voice, “Yes.”
The car made its way to the outskirts of the city.
Meanwhile, Georgie was accompanied by Moon, who had finished her breakfast.
She’s been home recovering from her injuries lately and is really bored out of her mind.
Coupled with last night’s events, Yusra Lin was now in the castle toeing the line, and the corridors were like nostrils growing on top of heads when they met, looking at everyone.
Xiao Yue was so angry at her smug look that she repeatedly came in and complained to Bella Qiao.
Bella Qiao could hear that she was more or less angry.
It was just funny, what do you and Yusra Lin have to fight about?
If before last night, she still had some hope for Gu Si Qian.
After last night, however, it shattered the only bit of hope in my heart.
If that’s the case, why bother with it?
The most important thing for her at the moment was actually to ferret out the wave of people who had provoked the relationship between the Vermilion Bird Society and the Dragon Corps and caused the war in the first place.
And then find out who was behind the hit-and-run and take revenge for Chichi.
Aren’t those the most important things?
As for her children…her heart was dead and she didn’t want to think about it.
Thinking this way, Bella Qiao looked up and asked Xiao Yue, “Did you do the thing I asked you to do for me before?”
Moon nodded, then knitted her brows.
“It’s done, but why did you send me out to find out about the Beggar’s Festival, Miss Jo?”
Previously, Bella Qiao had secretly instructed Xiao Yue to go out and do things for her.
It’s not really anything other than to get her out on the streets downtown, intentionally or unintentionally asking about the nearby Beggar’s Day light festival.
Not unlike China, this place places a lot of importance on the Beggar’s Day, or the domestic festival of Valentine’s Day, and every year a huge lantern festival is held here on this occasion.
The lights are on for a variety of games, and on this day of the year, countless people take to the streets to play, and couples are countless.
Bella Qiao thought about it, before, there were two waves of people trying to arrest her.
One wave was trying to capture her alive, the other wave was trying to put her directly to death.
She had managed to escape and come back alive later, and she had thought that these people would never stop when they were making such a big move.
But I didn’t expect that she had been recuperating in the castle for almost a month, and yet the other party had been slow to make a move.
If the other side didn’t do anything, there was no way for her to leave this place, after all, with her current abilities, if she left this place, she might end up in the other side’s hands in minutes.
But as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a thousand days of defense against a thief.
So this is not the way to go.
Coupled with last night, Gu Si Qian’s obvious display of distrust towards her, it pierced her heart even more deeply.
Memories that had been faded four years ago came to mind once again.
She didn’t want to go through what she’d gone through once, again, so she really wanted to get out of here sooner rather than later, and had to get out of his sight as well.
Only then could the two of them truly distance themselves, and she, in turn, could calm her heart and put this bad relationship behind her once and for all.
Thinking so, Georgie took a deep breath.
Since the other party hadn’t shown up, waiting dryly wasn’t an option, so she could only counteract the static and take the initiative.
Aren’t they dying to get her?Hiding in the castle, those people won’t come out, so she’ll just go out in a big way.
It’s just that if you normally go out, you’ll only be suspected by them, and if those people don’t fall for it, it will be a waste of time if you don’t come out this hard work.
So the time out is important, and who you go out with is even more important.
Bella Qiao’s original plan was to pretend to make up with Gu Siqian and take advantage of the Beggars Festival lantern festival to go out together.
Anyway, there’s no one who knows either of them who doesn’t know about their previous relationship.
Now that Bella Qiao had stayed in the castle for so long, even if it was plausible to say that the two had rekindled their old romance.
