Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1540: Grandma Gu’s Background Has Always Been a Mystery

Chapter 1540: Chapter 1540: Grandma Gu’s Background Has Always Been a Mystery

Two days later, Du Shuang and Engineer Zheng arrived in the Imperial Capital, Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao naturally offered them enthusiastic hospitality.

They invited them to meals and took them out to have fun, and Gu Qiaoqiao bought a lot of clothes, study materials, and daily necessities for Du Shuang’s child.

Du Shuang refused for a while, but seeing that she couldn’t refuse, she accepted it calmly. Gu Qiaoqiao was right; they were starting anew in a place that required money everywhere, and in the place they were going, transportation was inconvenient, with some things money couldn’t buy.

Qiaoqiao affectionately called her sister-in-law, treating Gu Qiaoqiao like her own sister.

Seeing Qiaoqiao living so well now, she was sincerely happy for her.

After a few days of spending time together, when they parted, both felt reluctant to leave.

Through Qin Yize, Engineer Zheng also met the Qin Family’s neighbors, Doctor Su’s family, and Engineer Zheng’s son became good friends with Doctor Su’s son.

Everyone knows connections matter no matter where you are.

A saying goes: more friends, more paths.

Although their fields differed, they shared the same goal to strive for.

Naturally, they became friends.

After seeing off Engineer Zheng and Du Shuang, Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao returned to their busy lives.

What made Gu Qiaoqiao helpless was that with exams approaching, Luo Fan started tutoring Qianqian on weekends.

Gu Qiaoqiao watched her foolish dad and mom cheerfully bring Luo Fan fruit and tea, and she couldn’t help but smirk in her heart thinking, "Our youngest daughter is almost being taken away by a wolf, yet they’re so happy."

But there was no help for it, Luo Fan was a top student, and he was proficient in five languages.

To tutor Qianqian was her luck.

It’s known that the number of national exam takers this year increased by thirty percent compared to last year; getting into the Imperial Capital’s top university requires real ability.

It’s as challenging as a thousand soldiers crossing a single-log bridge.

Your child may study well, but so do others, hence the fierce competition.

Qianqian is a top student, but this high school is full of top students.

That’s why Luo Fan tutoring Qianqian made Gu Tianfeng and Lian Yuhong very happy.

Gu Qiaoqiao initially wanted to say something but decided not to.

It’s Qianqian’s crucial moment now; she couldn’t allow any distraction.

And Luo Fan was a smart person, naturally knowing what to do and not do.

Gu Qiaoqiao could only resignedly accept it.

This year during the Qingming Festival, all members of the Gu Family except those working went to the Gu Family’s graveyards to pay respects.

Gu Kun and his wife’s graves had been moved from Stone Town.

It was the first year sweeping graves at the Imperial Capital’s Gu Family graveyards.

Others may see Gu Kun’s passing as just a few years, but for Gu Qiaoqiao, Grandpa has been gone for over a decade.

Yet when seeing his photo, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

This time after returning from sweeping the graves, the Old Patriarch decided to arrange an investigation into Grandma Gu’s family background.

Grandma Gu’s background has always been a mystery.

She lost her childhood memories.

This is similar to Lady Yu but different because, aside from no memory of family, everything else was normal.

She and Grandpa Gu met during chaos and never separated.

She possessed nothing that could prove her identity.

She only remembered her name—Lan Yue.

Later, she called herself Gu Lan Shi.

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu shared a lifelong love, although she passed early, Gu Qiaoqiao thought Grandma was the happiest.

Grandma was gentle and beautiful, loved reading ancient poetry.

Never raised her voice, she loved to smile, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

Qianqian’s eyes were like Grandma’s, bringing joy at first glance.

No woman in Stone Town didn’t envy Lian Yuhong’s good fortune.

Marrying into such a wonderful family.

Even without the Imperial Capital’s Gu Family, this was a happy family.

Now, the Old Patriarch wanted to find possibly living relatives of Grandma, Gu Qiaoqiao was not surprised; she had thought of it too but felt lost gazing at the vast sea of faces. Even opening the Mysterious Dragon Box revealed no clues, so she gave up.

Now, with the Old Patriarch’s arrangement, hopefully, there would be some leads.

Because Gu Tianfeng knows the city his parents met.

Searching around that area may offer some clues.

Three days after Qingming Festival was the weekend.

Gu Qianqian returned home, and Luo Fan arrived at Gu Garden as agreed.

Coincidentally, Gu Qiaoqiao was there. She looked at Luo Fan, half-jokingly saying, "Boss Luo, aren’t you concerned about your company?"

Luo Fan smiled slightly; this Qiaoqiao always guarded against him like a thief, not at all endearing. If only she were like Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu.

"Don’t you want Qianqian to get into the top university?" Luo Fan asked with a smile.

"Of course I do," Gu Qiaoqiao secretly rolled her eyes.

"Qianqian’s fundamentals aren’t great, and the exams increasingly focus on basics. In this area, she’s somewhat weak. I’m mainly tutoring her on the fundamentals."

Luo Fan candidly explained.

Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment; she hadn’t thought of it so comprehensibly. Suddenly realizing, though her father was a teacher, due to limited resources and Stone Town’s teaching quality, Qianqian’s fundamental knowledge indeed wasn’t good, especially noticeable once in high school.

Qianqian had mentioned it to her before.

But in Gu Qiaoqiao’s memory, even in Stone Town, her sister was bound for this university.

So she hadn’t paid it much mind.

Yet now, the family was unaware, inevitably worried.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianfeng, who usually sided with his daughter, stood with Luo Fan this time, urging him, "Luo Fan, go tutor Qianqian. Qiaoqiao’s joking with you. It must be hard for you."

Then looking at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Only three months till Qianqian’s exams; it’s already countdown time. Don’t waste it. Your brother Luo Fan is very busy."

Lian Yuhong added another; "If only you’d studied well, maybe you’d be tutoring your sister now too..."

Gu Qiaoqiao blinked, why drag her into it?

Alright then!

These parents willingly place their daughter at the wolf’s side; what could she do?

If Luo Fan hadn’t pursued Qianqian too early, Gu Qiaoqiao really wouldn’t mind.

Maybe people are double standard.

Gu Qiaoqiao admits, Luo Fan is genuinely a remarkably good person.

In every aspect, he’s outstanding.

Gu Qiaoqiao obediently kept quiet.

Luo Fan winked at Gu Qiaoqiao with a chuckle before leisurely carrying a big pile of books and papers to Qianqian’s residence.
