Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Returning to the Gu Family (Seeking First Subscription)

Yan Zhen Guo was watching the young girl behind him, smiling, seemingly in a good mood.

Gu Fuqiao looked closely at this photo, and for some reason, she instinctively felt something was off... Fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, shyly holding a boy like this.

If it wasn’t love, it really doesn’t make sense, and after this photo, Yan Zhen Guo seemed to never smile in photos again.

What was the relationship between Yan Zhen Guo and this young girl, could it be that the female lead had already appeared? Did she have a childhood encounter with Yan Zhen Guo?

Yan Zhen Guo didn’t have any other siblings, this young girl...

The more Gu Fuqiao thought about it, the more stifled she felt, so she simply closed the album, thinking to herself, what’s the point of thinking so much, even if it was a first love, it’s all in the past, might as well let it go.

She thought about how these days, since Yan Zhen Guo wasn’t home, she should also visit the Gu Family to see Old Mrs. Gu, who must have been missing her dearly.

Speaking of which, she had been looking over the study materials Old Mrs. Gu had given her quite diligently.

In a previous life, Gu Fuqiao was considered a girl with above-average grades, although over the years she had returned most of the knowledge teachers taught her. But restoring the knowledge points after the college entrance examination wasn’t too difficult, even easier than the old test questions. She had already done most of the questions, and could look for Old Mrs. Gu to check if there were any other questions. If not, then she could confidently take the college entrance examination.

Early the next morning, Gu Fuqiao went out. By the time she reached the Gu Family, the sun had already become rather fierce.

She had just reached the doorstep when she saw Mrs. Li, bent over and busy at the door, with a bunch of things laid out on the ground, unsure of what she was drying.

Gu Fuqiao walked behind her, and Mrs. Li didn’t even notice her.

"Mrs. Li, what are you doing?" Gu Fuqiao couldn’t resist calling out to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was startled at first, then turned around and saw Gu Fuqiao, she patted her chest with her hand and said, "Miss, you frightened me! Why didn’t you call ahead or something?"

"I don’t have a phone at home." Gu Fuqiao couldn’t help but laugh, "Zhen Guo isn’t home these days, so I came back to see grandma. I happened to see you drying something, so I wanted to take a look."

The sun was blazing fiercely, so Gu Fuqiao raised her hand to shield her head, then said to Mrs. Li, "Mrs. Li, it’s so hot, you should quickly go inside to rest, don’t get heatstroke."

"Oh!" Feeling the young lady’s concern, Mrs. Li quickly replied happily. Her face had already become a bit sunburned, she pointed to the beans on the ground and said, "I’ll lay these flat and then go back inside. The old master said to dry these for the mistress to stew with pork hocks, good for the body."

"Alright," Gu Fuqiao nodded. Her face was flushed and hot, if she stayed out longer she feared she’d turn into a braised pork hock herself, so she quickly went inside, telling Mrs. Li to finish soon and come in to rest.

After going inside, Gu Fuqiao inevitably ran into Ouyang Qing.

Ouyang Qing’s attitude towards Gu Fuqiao wasn’t as sharp as before, although it was clear she didn’t like Gu Fuqiao, after furrowing her brows lightly, she still spoke in a calm tone, "You’re finally back. Grandma has been waiting for you a long time." Saying this, her eyes earnestly looked at Gu Fuqiao.

Gu Fuqiao felt something was off about this.

Why did it feel like it wasn’t grandma waiting for her, but rather Ouyang Qing deliberately waiting here for her?

Gu Fuqiao glanced at Ouyang Qing, didn’t answer this question, and instead asked, "Aren’t you working at the hospital? Day off today?"

"No," Ouyang Qing became annoyed at the thought, but recalling Ouyang Xuan’s promise of the outcome, she felt quite pleased.

After all, someone as brainless as Gu Fuqiao deserved such treatment.

Ouyang Qing looked at Gu Fuqiao and said, "Aunt said she wasn’t feeling well a few days ago, wanted to hire a nurse, but since I know what a nurse does, might as well I come back to take care of her."

She came back to take care? More like having Mother Gu take care of her, though with her around, Mother Gu must feel much happier.

"That’s great, then stay home and take good care." After saying this, Gu Fuqiao brushed past Ouyang Qing and headed upstairs.

When she reached the stairs, Ouyang Qing called to her from downstairs, "Sis, if you have time, do spend more time with aunt. Though she’s a bit biased, she’s holding you in her heart."

"I know." Holding her in her heart? Last time wanting to chase Ouyang Qing away, Mother Gu nearly tore her apart, how could a mother like that still care for her?

Gu Fuqiao gave Ouyang Qing a look and said, "But with you here taking care of mom, I’m relieved. I’m going to see grandma now."

Ouyang Qing originally wanted to say something more, but hesitated when it came to grandma, and did not continue. As soon as Gu Fuqiao left, Ouyang Qing turned and walked to the phone. Cautiously looking upstairs, she dialed a number.

When the call connected, Ouyang Qing covered the mouthpiece and whispered, "Bro, she’s here." After saying a couple more things, Ouyang Qing hung up. Seeing no one around, she then walked away as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Gu Fuqiao went upstairs directly to Old Mrs. Gu’s room, since she hadn’t called beforehand, Old Mrs. Gu was quite surprised to see her while playing leaves cards.

"Grandma," Gu Fuqiao called out, then walked over to Old Mrs. Gu. To her, Old Mrs. Gu was almost like a deity, feeling she lived an elegant life even in old age, composing poetry and painting.

Playing leaves cards... Gu Fuqiao had never seen this before.

Old Mrs. Gu, being caught by her granddaughter playing leaves cards, probably felt a bit embarrassed, initially wanting to hide them behind her, but seeing Gu Fuqiao noticed them, figured it was too conspicuous, so instead laid them on the table and said, "Idling away, playing leaves cards with Sister Sun. In the old days, if the adults caught us off task like this, we’d be punished. We sisters only played secretly... Now with nothing to do, it’s the only leisure."

Seeing Old Mrs. Gu this way, Gu Fuqiao couldn’t help but smile, surprised that the elegant Old Mrs. Gu had secretly played cards in her youth... Though back then, it seemed proper young ladies weren’t supposed to indulge in such games.
