Chapter 497

But Qiao Yuying refused. She had sent a message to Gu Yunshen to wait in China until Gu Qingyao graduated. Then she would bring their daughter back and meet him.

Although it was rare for people to leave the country, it did happen. It was getting more and more convenient, and it was entirely possible for Gu Yunshen to come overseas to see them. But Qiao Yuying had not allowed him to do so.

It was no longer so difficult to contact one another. So even though Gu Yunshen was far away in China, he knew something about the situation over here.

When Qiao Yuying heard that, she continued to object.

“There was no need. Your Father is unfamiliar with everything overseas. It was better to wait until you graduated, and we can go back to China together. Although it means waiting for a little longer, hasn’t the moment arrived? We can be reunited soon.”

Gu Qingyao laughed. “That’s right, we can be reunited soon. So, Mother, please focus. At this moment, Father is probably feeling very nervous. When you see him, he will probably be wild with delight.”

Qiao Yuying glared at her but did not reply.

Gu Qingyao said, “My luggage is almost packed. What about you, Mother? Do you want me to help you? You can’t buy the kind of clothes you usually wear in China. If you’re not used to it, you should bring a few more pieces. If we can’t manage all that, we can find a way to ship them back to China.”

Qiao Yuying said, “Why wouldn’t I be used to it? When I was in China, I wore clothes like that.”

Gu Qingyao shrugged. “Great! In a few days, the uncles will come back for a reunion. We can all eat together before we leave.”

Qiao Yuying turned aside, so Gu Qingyao did not see her expression.

Actually, it was not that she did not want to see Gu Yunshen more quickly, or that she did not want him to look for them, but… she was worried that Gu Yunshen would be in danger if he came here.

Huo Lin was no gentleman. A despicable person like him might attack Gu Yunshen.

After Qiao Yuying left, Second Cousin came in. When he saw that Gu Qingyao was almost packed, he raised his brows. “Are you really… leaving just like that?”

He knew the girl better than that.

They had not yet exterminated the Huo family!

Gu Qingyao glanced at him and said nonchalantly, “Why not?”

Second Cousin frowned. “Surely not. The Huo family…”

A trace of a smile appeared on Gu Qingyao’s lips. “Why? Growing impatient? If we exterminate them now, can you manage the aftermath?”

Second Cousin: “…”

A mystery!

What did she mean?

Gu Qingyao cocked her head and looked demure.

“Doesn’t a lot of the Huo family’s business depend on our Qiao family? Also… most of it is done with the Qiao family. So if you take over their business, you’ll just be expanding your scope. It’s much easier than taking over another company.”

Second Cousin: “…”

“At the moment, you and the other cousins are not yet able to take over the entire Huo family, so… just leave them for now! Let them manage it for you first. When you have the ability, you can divide them up!”

Second Cousin: “…”

He hated that Huo family and hated those shameless creatures who had designs on the women in his family. He had once grandly announced that he would exterminate the Huo family.

But he knew that the Huo family was not so easily exterminated.

Even if his uncles and Young Aunt acted together, they might not be able to exterminate the Huo family that easily, much less the younger generation who only had some small achievements.

He had always wanted to teach the Huo family a lesson and gain some advantage in the process. He wanted to warn those shameless fellows to keep their distance.

Why did it seem like his youngest cousin really wanted to exterminate the Huo family?

“Youngest… Youngest Cousin? Are you… really going to exterminate the Huo family?”

Gu Qingyao raised her brows. “Why not?”

She had lived here for more than six years and knew the important families well. Both the Qiao family and the Qin family had given her plenty of information, and, added to what she and Mo Beihan had found out, she knew more about them than the Qiao family did.

The Huo family was really a bunch of no-goods.

What they had done to the Qiao family, especially to Mother, was completely unforgivable.

She had guessed why Mother had not allowed Father to visit her!

But she had not said anything so that Mother would not worry!

Second Cousin was befuddled.

“No… no, Youngest Cousin, this… Huo family is not easy to deal with. How will you exterminate them? This… we have no real grudge against them. There’s no need for you to be so ruthless, right? Also, we don’t have the ability!”

Gu Qingyao’s lips twitched, and her smile grew colder, but she still spoke very demurely!

“Second Cousin, what are you saying? I’m just interested in the Huo family’s company, I’m not going to murder or commit arson. What is this talk about ruthlessness? How frightening. I’m a good girl!”

Second Cousin: “…”

Don’t such words prick your conscience?

Gu Qingyao said, “All right, you go and attend to your business! I still have things to do! I will certainly be going back to China, but you don’t need to move your business to China in a hurry. You can go back and take a look to learn about the environment before you start."

“Things have just begun to develop over there. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

“As for the Huo family, they will certainly move their main focus to China. Then it will be time for us to act. China is our territory – it will be easier to do as we please there!”
