Chapter 714: Chapter 714: I Can Only Scold Her, Making Her Hate Me.
Qiao Yin hadn’t driven far before she called in a substitute driver.
It was the dead of night and raining, making substitute drivers more costly and scarce. She had to wait quite a while before one arrived.
By the time she returned home, it was already past two in the morning.
She took a shower, blow-dried her hair, and sat down in front of her computer.
Gu Jing wasn’t important to her, and she didn’t even like him. But the information she had gotten from him tonight was crucial, even if it was ambiguous—it was a vital clue.
A few minutes later, Qiao Yin hacked into the internal system of Guotai Group and found Gu Chengqiao’s itinerary for the next day.
A high-end market under their corporation was about to open, and Gu Chengqiao would be attending tomorrow’s ribbon-cutting ceremony and inspecting the market.
This would be the perfect place to orchestrate an “accidental” meeting.
She hoped everything goes smoothly tomorrow.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Yin shut off her computer and went to bed.
——
At the Gu family’s villa.
Gu Chengqiao was thirsty and went downstairs for a drink.
Everyone in the house had gone to bed, and the living room was dimly lit by a night light.
He had just poured himself a glass of water when he was startled to see someone sitting motionless on the sofa. He was so shocked he nearly dropped his glass.
He turned on the light and breathed a sigh of relief once he recognized that it was his son. “Jing, can’t you sleep? What’s making you sit on the sofa in such a daze?”Update by n0vgo.c0
Gu Jing slowly turned his head, the lifelessness in his eyes bore into his father, “What do you think, the root of all evils?”
Gu Chengqiao coughed lightly, “Are you still hung up on Qiao Yin?”
“Look at what you’re saying. That’s your daughter, dare I bother about her? Can I? Am I sick to be thinking about my step-sister?”
“Enough, don’t make yourself seem so wronged. I don’t want this to happen either.”
“I seem wronged?”
With a sudden start, Gu Jing stood up, his fists clenched as if he wanted to take a swing at his own father. “We were getting along pretty well. She even started to like me and said she wanted to be with me.”
“And now?! Now I don’t even dare to get close to her! I can only insult her, make her hate me and stay away from me!”
“You must know what it feels like to push away the girl you like! It feels like your heart will break!”
Gu Chengqiao felt helpless and guilt-ridden.
He thought his son might have genuinely fallen for Qiao Yin. His son had never been like this before. He’d been casual about dating. But now, he’s talking about heartache.
He couldn’t help but sigh, “Lower your voice, your mother is asleep. Do you want to wake her? Calm down, we still haven’t got the result of the paternity test. There is a one percent chance you two are not siblings. First, think of a way to get some of her hair or nails for the test.”
Gu Jing took out a cleanly folded tissue from his pocket, his eyes red as he slammed it into Gu Chengqiao’s hands, “Her hair! Take it! Now, immediately get someone to do the test!”
Gu Chengqiao opened the tissue, glanced at the contents and closed it again, “Did you get it from her? Is it definitely hers?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can go and pluck some hair from her head yourself! I’m fed up!”
With that, an irate Gu Jing turned and went upstairs.
However, Gu Chengqiao did not go upstairs.
He sunk into the sofa, even forgetting about the water he had poured. He held the hair for a long while without moving.
He thought about the woman who had fascinated him for a long time when they first met.
He could almost understand his son’s obsession with Qiao Yin; had he not been obsessed with Shen Tang to the point of forgetting everything else?
He didn’t know how long it was until he finally made a call and quietly said a few words.
Very soon, someone walked in quietly, lightly taking the hair from his hand, “President Gu, the paternity results will be available in the afternoon.”
“Alright, go ahead, and make sure to keep it confidential.”
“Yes.”
