Chapter 1867: Chapter 1865: We Missed You, Mom

The Old Patriarch was that ruthless; how could he possibly not avenge his own sons and grandsons? So they all died, not a single one survived.

After that, Chang Yalan gradually stopped crying.

She couldn’t help thinking of what Gu Qiaoqiao had said, and compared to that so‑called beautiful dream, at least in this life the few of them, brother and sisters, were all still alive.

So, just like her mom said, should she really be grateful that the Gu Family hadn’t gone all the way to wipe them out, that they had shown mercy?

Chang Yalan silently lowered her head, biting her lips hard.

Gu Qiaoqiao stood at the doorway, froze for a moment, then curled her lips slightly and walked toward Brother Fong.

"Qiaoqiao, are you okay?" Fong Lei asked with concern.

"I’m fine. You can go on questioning her now; she’ll probably confess," Gu Qiaoqiao said with a grin.

Fong Lei nodded, gave a few instructions to the men beside him, then left with Gu Qiaoqiao.

After the two of them chatted for a bit, Gu Qiaoqiao drove away from the police station.

Although Chang Yalan’s matter wasn’t big, it still gave Gu Qiaoqiao a bit of a shock.

She didn’t know if there were others in this world like Chang Yalan, nor did she know whether they would cause damage to certain things.

Like this Chang Yalan.

She should know about what would happen in the next five years. Although there were many small twists and changes, some major events basically didn’t change.

Take Chang Yalan: for now, it was still okay; they could keep her under control.

By the time she got out, this world would already no longer be the way she knew it.

What she feared was that there might be similar people now, but with vicious hearts, using their bits of foresight to do things that harm the Mortal World—that would be bad.

So Gu Qiaoqiao turned the car around and then headed in the direction of the Gu Garden.

Luckily, Little Uncle wasn’t going to the ranch until tomorrow, so she could take this chance to ask him face‑to‑face.

When she arrived at the Gu Garden, the whole family was eating. Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were running wild all over the yard with White Wolf and Xiao Bai.

Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao come in, Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei’s eyes lit up; like two little chicks they dashed toward Gu Qiaoqiao.

One child hugged one of Gu Qiaoqiao’s legs.

Xiao Bei said in her milky little voice, "Qiaoqiao Mommy, Xiao Bei hasn’t seen you for two days already. My brother and I really missed you, right, Brother?"

Xiao Bao was steadier, but he still nodded. "Qiaoqiao Mommy, did you come to see us and take us home?"

The questions came one after another, but Gu Qiaoqiao squatted down and asked curiously, "You always just call me Mommy—how come today it’s Qiaoqiao Mommy?"

"Because everyone calls you that."

Xiao Bao held Gu Qiaoqiao’s finger and said softly, "I discussed it with my sister. This way, our mommy will be one of a kind."

Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but let out a puff of laughter. "Even if you just call me Mommy, I’m still one of a kind, you know, because in this whole world only you two call me Mommy."

Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei exchanged a look, then stared at Gu Qiaoqiao in delight. They immediately understood and nodded hard. Xiao Bei, being quick‑tongued, blurted out, "Right, Mommy, only my brother and I call you Mommy. You and Daddy get along so well, but Daddy also calls you Qiaoqiao, and he also calls you..."

Gu Qiaoqiao reacted extremely fast.

She scooped Xiao Bei up in her arms and gave her a kiss on the cheek, blocking the rest of her words.

This child had definitely overheard Qin Yize secretly calling her that something‑or‑other.

She would really have to be careful in the future; these two little brats had sharp ears.

She couldn’t help feeling a trace of blame toward Qin Yize.

But she couldn’t show it in front of Xiao Bei. Having been kissed by her mommy, Xiao Bei was so happy she immediately forgot what she’d been about to say.

Lian Yuhong had already served a bowl of rice for Gu Qiaoqiao and beckoned with her hand. "Qiaoqiao, come eat. Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei are already finished."

"Yeah, Mommy, go eat. Your tummy must be hungry."

Xiao Bao said considerately.

Xiao Bei’s dark, round eyes rolled, and she tugged on Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, pleading softly, "Mommy, can Xiao Bei talk to you about something?"

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Xiao Bei. What could she possibly have to talk about?

"Mommy, I want to go play on the grasslands with Brother."

Gu Qiaoqiao froze for a moment. This little girl had quite the wild heart—she wanted to go to the grasslands to play. The grass there was taller than they were; she really wouldn’t be at ease.

"You’re still too little. When you grow a bit older, Daddy and Mommy will take you there to play."

Xiao Bei was about to say more, but Xiao Bao tugged at her.

Then Xiao Bao blinked, smiled, grabbed Xiao Bei, and pat‑pat‑pat ran off to find White Wolf.

Lian Yuhong’s face was full of joy; these two children had brought them so much happiness.

As long as Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were there, the Old Patriarch and Lady Yu simply wouldn’t go out.

At this moment, seeing Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei run off to find White Wolf, the Old Patriarch put down his chopsticks. "You all eat first. I’ll go see what Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei are doing."

"Great Grandfather, are you done eating?"

Gu Qiaoqiao asked with concern.

The Old Patriarch’s eyes bulged. "Of course I’m done. I’m not stupid. I know whether I’m hungry or not."

Lady Yu slapped him lightly and said displeased, "Qiaoqiao is worried about you. What are you so worked up about? Qiaoqiao isn’t here to pick up the kids, right, Qiaoqiao?"

Gu Qiaoqiao blinked. What could she say? She smiled and nodded. "I’m not here to get them. I came to talk to Little Uncle about something."

Lady Yu’s brows immediately relaxed into a smile. "Then hurry and eat. Your Little Uncle went out with Ling Nan and will be back in a bit."

Then the Old Patriarch and Lady Yu went off together to look for Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Gu Tianfeng with smiling eyes. "Dad, when did you get back?"

Gu Tianfeng had gone on a business trip.

"Got back yesterday. I even brought you guys gifts. Take them with you when you go back later."

"Thank you, Dad." Gu Qiaoqiao said with squinted‑eye smiles, then turned to Gu Qianqian. "Qianqian, you haven’t gone to see Luo Fan these last couple of days?"

"No. School’s going to start in a few days. I’m staying home to keep Mom company."

Gu Qianqian said obediently.

Lian Yuhong let out a sigh. "We don’t have that many kids in our family, but we can never get everyone together. How long has it been since Zishu came back?"

"Zishu went to the Special Preparation Team. The environment there is different from other places—it’s a special department. If there aren’t any special circumstances, it’s already pretty good if he can get a few days off in a year."

Gu Qiaoqiao went on, "Don’t worry about it. Zishu is growing very fast now. No matter what happens in the future, this experience is hugely beneficial for him. And my little brother can’t just be a hands‑off young master in the future; he’ll have to take on the Gu Family’s businesses sooner or later."

"You’re now the Gu Family’s Successor, and you’re doing very well. The Old Patriarch is extremely satisfied with you. Your brother’s temperament isn’t suited for handling these things." Gu Tianfeng said in a low voice.

"Dad, I know all that. But we still have to see what my brother wants to do in the future. For now, just let him do what he likes. Besides, I’m thinking that when I retire and I’m not so busy anymore, I want to travel the world with Ah Ze."

Lian Yuhong laughed. "You’re only in your early twenties and you’re already talking about retiring. All right, all right, eat."
