Chapter 208: You Are Gu Qingjiu?
With her pitch raised, Tan Yalan sounded extremely mean and unkind.
“She doesn’t know what’s good for her!”
His wife’s sharp words gave Yu Shaotian a headache.
He didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with what Tan Yalan said, but he couldn’t stand her tone of voice.
After all, now that she had aged, she no longer behaved as she did in her younger days. Her habits were like those of any other middle-aged women.
Hence, she couldn’t match up to those young mistresses he kept outside.
If Tan Yalan knew what was going through Yu Shaotian’s mind, she might get so mad that she would fall ill. historical
Seeing Gu Qingjiu enter the room, Tan Yalan then spoke in a hushed voice. “What did the Li family say?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing her mention this, Yu Shaotian’s expression turned serious. “The Li family doesn’t care which daughter we marry over, so long as it’s our child.”
Tan Yalan snorted. “Of course! How can that sickly fellow of the Li family match up to our Shiwei? Who knows when he will just pass away...”
“Can you show some restraint in your words?”
Yu Shaotian couldn’t stand hearing Tan Yalan shoot her mouth off any longer.
“If you want to talk about others, fine. But shut up when it comes to the Li family!”
His reprimanding words made Tan Yalan angrily close her mouth.
...
Gu Qingjiu was in her room, and with the door closed she naturally didn’t hear their argument outside.
She carefully sized up the room. It was a guest room, but it also had windows.
But outside the windows, there were many Yu family servants loitering around.
If she were to escape, they would take notice of it right away.
Moreover, she knew that a security company heavily guarding and monitoring the area around the Yu Family manor.
With Gu Qingjiu’s current capabilities, she knew she wouldn’t be able to take on so many people, and going through all that trouble wasn’t worth it.
However, the military had learned of her disappearance already. The waiting was making her feel anxious.
Everything inside the room was under control, and without the means to go on the Internet and without her phone, she couldn’t contact the outside world.
What she worried most about was her Gu parents.
She hoped they hadn’t learned of her disappearance, lest they might worry.
Gu Qingjiu stayed in her room for a long time, and she had already lost sense of time. Suddenly, the door opened.
Hearing the door open, Gu Qingjiu turned her head around.
In the daylight, she could see a person standing by the doorway
In a split second, she felt all the blood in her body turn cold, and it was as if it was flowing in a reverse direction.
She felt everything rushing to her head, an indescribable fury screaming within her.

The person standing at the door was slim and tall.
Even though it was winter, she was wearing a sexy black dress...
And that revealed her smooth calves and beautiful curves.
She layered a grey mink shawl over it.
The makeup on her face was exquisite, making her look even more gorgeous and impressive.
Red lipstick was painted on her lips, and it complemented her fair skin very well. The vibrant contrast was very eye-catching.
On her neck hung a silver necklace.
She was a lovely rose—beautiful, enchanting, and intense.
She exuded a noble and elegant aura.
Standing at the door, her eyes had the same haughtiness as the ones she saw on the magazine cover. She was like a white peacock flamboyantly spreading its beautiful feathers.
With her chin raised, she stared at Gu Qingjiu. There was a subtle look of contempt flashing across her eyes.
“You are Gu Qingjiu?”
