At that moment, there were only Gu Qiangwei and the driver left in the car. While waiting, Gu Qiangwei felt a little bored, and she turned her eyes towards the bustling streets.
It was a weekday, yet the prosperous City Jing was still so crowded.
Suddenly, a familiar figure irrupted into her line of vision.
Gu Qiangwei thought that she was hallucinating for a short moment; after all, she had not seen that person for more than ten years.
“Mom…”
This address, which had remained so unfamiliar for over ten years, burst out from her mouth once again.
Unable to control her impulses, Gu Qiangwei slammed open the car door and mindlessly chased after the person at the opposite side of the road!
Is she my mother?
The mother that suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago?
Squeak-!!
Suddenly, a screech ripped across the sky! In this bustling street, it was exceptionally sharp and loud!
“Mr. Qin!”
When Luo Chen saw the figure that suddenly rushed out in front of him, he could not help but yell out. His face turned pale from fear.
However, Gu Qiangwei, who ran across the road recklessly, did not have time to find out what happened; she turned her head around and saw a race car speeding towards her.
Just when she thought that she was going to get hit, something suddenly enveloped her. Next, someone hugged her body, and they rolled to the side of the road.
At that split second, her brain was ringing, and there was a drumming sound in her ears.
When she regained her senses, her clear eyes were still shaken, and her face was as pale as snow.
“Mr. Qin!”
When Luo Chen saw Qin Sijue, who had hugged her and rolled over to the side of the road, he dashed over!
“Are you okay?!”
Gu Qiangwei, following Luo Chen’s voice and gaze, turned her head slightly with an ashen face and saw Qin Sijue’s contorted expression.
Qin Sijue lifted his eyes, and his gaze coincidentally collided with hers.
When he thought about that dangerous moment earlier, he suddenly felt extremely confused and conflicted for some unknown reason.
“Do you not want to live anymore?!”
Gu Qiangwei was still a bit stunned after being yelled at by him—there were still remnants of lingering shock on her face!
However, she ignored Qin Sijue and instead suddenly stood up, looking at the direction from just now.
She disappeared…
The familiar figure earlier had already disappeared into the bustling crowd. When she could not see that figure, Gu Qiangwei’s sealed heart became disappointed once again.
Twelve years had passed. She missed her, but those twelve years of searching had brought back no news.
Gu Qiangwei did not even know if her mother was alive. If she truly was alive, why couldn’t she get any information even after searching tirelessly for twelve years?
Tears slid down quietly.
Mom’s sudden departure fragmented the entire family.
And everything happened because of Chen Peifang! If she had not brought Gu Shijie along and looked for them, Mom would not have suddenly left.
She would not have abandoned the ten-year-old me back then!
“Mr. Qin, you’re hurt!”
When Qin Sijue stood up, Luo Chen saw that the red blood on his arms had seeped through his white shirt.
Gu Qiangwei only regained her senses after hearing his exclamation. She saw the exceptionally bright bloodstains right as she turned her head around.
“You… You’re bleeding…” Because she had just cried, Gu Qiangwei sounded slightly choked-up.
Her sob caused Qin Sijue’s heart to flutter, however.
She’s crying?
His passionate gaze landed on the top of her head, giving him the illusion that her heart was aching for him.
