Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again
Chapter 267 - Chapter 267 Chapter 267 Ive Never Even Spoken Harshly to Her

Chapter 267: Chapter 267 I’ve Never Even Spoken Harshly to Her! Chapter 267: Chapter 267 I’ve Never Even Spoken Harshly to Her! Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t refute–the time had passed too long, and no one knew the truth anymore.

But if Grandpa had taken so many things, why did he live a life of poverty all his life?

Could they have been stolen during the chaos of war?

“However, I still feel that Grandpa took the Mysterious Dragon Box because he was the only successor, and he always wanted to open it. Admittedly, he didn’t consider money as dirt, but he didn’t value it much either. I think there might be a misunderstanding here…”

“What misunderstanding could there be?” Gu Qingfeng looked at Gu Qiaoqiao. “No one other than Kunkun knew the location of those things.”

“There’s no wall in the world without wind seeping through it. You’re being arbitrary. Anyway, my family doesn’t even have a Gold Piece to its name. Besides, there’s still something I can’t figure out…”

“What can’t you figure out? Speak,” he demanded.

“Great Grandma had no reason to leave with Grandpa. You didn’t drive her out, did you also take out your anger on her?”

“I didn’t, I didn’t even speak harshly to her!”

Gu Qingfeng’s face reddened, veins on his forehead bulged, and his hand clutching the cane tightened. Lady Yu’s sudden departure was like a betrayal, a thorn in his heart.

He said bitterly, “What I said to Kunkun at that time was just spoken in anger. He’s my only son, and back then, I just felt he was narrow-minded and lacked generosity. The Gu Family has a substantial family business, how can pettiness suffice? I was just trying to teach him a lesson. I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect…”

Seeing tears in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes and how he slumped into the chair, Gu Qiaoqiao put down the inkstone.

Listening to Gu Qingfeng’s sorrowful continuing words, “I didn’t expect that he would leave the Gu Family that very night with his mother. He didn’t consider me at all. It’s been fifty years. Any anger should have subsided by now. Why couldn’t he bring you all back? Look, nothing here has changed. Even half a century later, it’s easy to find this place. But he truly left without looking back…”

Gu Qiaoqiao stilled for a moment, then, with a softened voice yet still filled with curiosity, she asked, “What did you say at that time?”

“I said…” Gu Qingfeng was just about to tell Gu Qiaoqiao, but then he changed his mind, feeling that once he said it, this child would surely side with her Grandpa.

So, the Old Patriarch stood up, muttered with an undertone, “I’ve forgotten…”

With that, leaning on his cane, he left the room.

Gu Qiaoqiao secretly curled her lips, thinking to herself that harsh and unkind words must have been said for sure.

Otherwise, Grandpa would not have left without looking back.

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced around the room and quickly walked out.

Meanwhile, in a residence to the northwest of the Imperial Capital, Qin Yize and his men kicked open a tightly closed door.

Qin Yize strode into the courtyard house.

But found it empty.

The place was in disarray, as though people had fled in haste.

Qin Yize’s brows knitted tightly together. Was there an informant, or had there been trouble at the other end?

Because those traffickers weren’t going straight to the Southwestern Great Mountain. They were only responsible for delivering people to a designated location, completing their task.

Beyond that, there were others in charge of the next steps.

However, it had to be said that the traffickers were tough to crack.

It seemed they had something to rely on.

Of course, they eventually talked.

Afterward, they acted quickly to capture people, but unexpectedly, the gang leader had fled.
