Chapter 124 - Transformation Was Too Great and She Didn’t Dare to Believe
“Gu… Gu Qingjiu?”
Chen Yanhong nearly swallowed her tongue upon hearing that.
And although she had reached upstairs, Chhan Yanhong still directed her at Gu Qingjiu and realized that the exquisiteness of her facial features still looked the same
Chen Yanhong inhaled a breath of cold air. “This darned lass must have disappeared for two months to do plastic surgery!”
“Aiyah. Yanhong, is that the dim and wooden lass living upstairs that you mentioned? She seems like a bright and beautiful girl to me. She’s wearing an army uniform. She entered the military, didn’t she?”
The person buying things was Chen Yanhong’s regular customer who lived nearby but didn’t know the Gu family.
Regarding the Gu family’s matters, she had heard Chen Yanhong mention them a few times.
Chen Yanhong said that the girl living upstairs was dim-witted and stupid, ugly to boot, and did not quite look like she was a biological daughter of that family.
Now that she was seeing it for herself, Chen Yanhong was merely making up things. The girl didn’t at all appear dim-witted, and even though she only had a brief look at her, it was evident she was not ugly at all!
With people doubting her words, Chen Yanhong’s countenance turned terrible then and there.
“Alright, alright. How would I know she would go to get plastic surgery? From how I see it, she must have undergone plastic surgery!”
That was how rumors spread.
But the female customer no longer believed her words. After taking a deep look at Chen Yanhong, she picked up her things and left.
Chen Yanhong sat back down. She was so furious that hot air could nearly be seen coming from the top of her head. “Darned lass, such a huge transformation, and even more her attitude is so terrible!”
She had never been fond of Gu Qingjiu.
In the past, the lass appeared cowardly and a pushover; hence, she pretty much ignored her. Now that she came back and had a huge transformation, she looked at the gaze in her eyes.
She was simply too arrogant!
How could Chen Yanhong not be mad?
…
Since they had poor soundproofing, the moment Gu Qingjiu arrived upstairs, she heard merry laughter and chatter from inside the house.
And a girl’s cheerful laughter.
She sounded very young.
Gu Qingjiu felt it was a little strange, but still, she went forward and pressed the doorbell.
Shortly after, someone came to open the door, and judging from the footsteps, it wasn’t Qi Yuefeng.
The door opened to show an unknown woman’s face.
She wore light makeup and had pretty features. Donned in a brown trench coat, she gave off an amorous vibe.
She was a very attractive woman in her thirties or early forties.
It was evident from the light creases in the corners of her eyes.
The woman gazed at Gu Qingjiu, wearing the smile that had yet to die down from earlier. “Who are you looking for?”
Gu Qingjiu frowned slightly, shouting into the house. “Mom!”
Although her appearance had changed, her voice hadn’t.
In the living room, Gu Hong was speaking to a man in formal attire. Hearing this, he turned his head in surprise. “Qingjiu?”
The woman at the door looked at Gu Hong in astonishment, too. “Gu Hong, this is your daughter Gu Qingjiu?”
She then quickly opened the door and invited Gu Qingjiu in.
Gu Qingjiu entered the door, glanced at the woman, and then greeted her, “Hello, Auntie.”
She then looked towards Gu Hong.
When the latter saw Gu Qingjiu, his eyes widened. It was clear that he suffered a great shock. “Qingjiu? How did you…”
‘Become so thin!’
No one can blame Gu Hong for being so surprised. When his son went to the troops to look for Gu Qingjiu last month, although he didn’t talk her out of it, he returned and merely said that Gu Qingjiu had undergone a great transformation. But then again, he didn’t show them the photo.
Gu Qingjiu should return in a month’s time, and not now.
Looking at her, she had undergone a huge transformation.
If it weren’t because he was familiar with her face, Gu Hong wouldn’t believe that the person standing before her was his daughter.
