Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 266 Check it out

Huo Shang frowned. "I'm appointing you as the overall person in charge of this operation. Everything has been arranged. You just need to take over the position of commander in Puyang Prefecture."

Puyang Prefecture? "What happened to him?" Qin Zifeng asked with a stern face. Now that the case was nearing its end, how could they not use his original commander? Changing generals on the front lines was a major taboo.

At this point, the room fell silent for a moment, with none of the three seated bigwigs saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zifeng tilted his head in confusion, looking at the group of people who seemed reluctant to talk about it. But the information reflected in their expressions didn't seem to be what he had imagined—that they had encountered some enemy and were being retaliated against.

Huo Shang covered his head in exasperation. "That guy went out to buy barbecue because his wife wanted some in the middle of the night. But it was too dark, and he didn't see it because someone had stolen the manhole cover. He fell in."

Qin Zifeng's lips twitched. Such a blunder on the eve of a mission? "Is he alright?"

"It's nothing serious, just a broken leg and a broken rib. He'll be fine after some rest," Huo Shang waved his hand, not wanting to talk about him anymore. "You should go to the team as soon as possible to familiarize yourself with this operation and take over as soon as possible."

With the big boss speaking like this, what else could he do? It seems he'll have to put finding Guan Yu on hold for now. He really hopes that girl will remember him soon.

Guan Yu jumped down from the tree.

Qin Lan walked over and asked in confusion, "Second Brother, what's wrong?" Just now, while training people, he suddenly received a phone call. Because the signal was bad, he suddenly ran up a tree to answer it, claiming that the signal was better up in the tree and that he wasn't afraid of falling down.

Guan Yu doesn't have many friends in Kyoto, and her parents and family are taken care of by the Fan family. If something had happened to her parents or family, Qin Lan wouldn't have been unaware of it. Guan Yu's sudden urgency... Could it be...? Qin Lan gave Guan Yu a mischievous smile and nudged her, "Could it be your boyfriend?"

Guan Yu chuckled, "You've been single since birth, where would you get a boyfriend? He's my master, don't get the wrong idea."

"Master..." Qin Lan said disappointedly. Since he was her master, he must be quite old. She had thought he would know some gossip.

Guan Yu punched her lightly, "I'm so disappointed he's not your boyfriend. By the way, how are things going between you and your blockhead?"

Qin Lan sighed and looked up at the sky dejectedly. "Iron trees don't bloom. Do you think I should find someone else to like?"

Before Guan Yu could speak, Qin Lan shook her head. "No way! That would be too unfair to me. I've liked him for so many years! He's just keeping me hanging on like this! I might as well go all the way, drug him, tie him up, and force myself on him. I don't believe he'll dare to shirk responsibility! If he dares to shirk responsibility, I'll castrate him! We can all be sisters from now on!"

Guan Yu's lips twitched, and she shook her head helplessly, mourning for Zhao Yi for three minutes. However, it was also Zhao Yi's fault. Anyone with eyes could see that the two of them were in love, so why weren't they together yet?
Regardless of Qin Lan's continued anger, Guan Yu checked her phone. Her master was in Kyoto? What was he doing in Kyoto?
As evening approached, everyone finished their dinner. Xu Nuofei, Gu Rongrong, and Gu Tangtang all looked at Yang Nianqing.

Yang Nianqing: "…………"

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Rongrong couldn't help but ask, "Qingqing, will you come home with Mommy?"

Although the events of their past life might have been misunderstandings, they had never actually spent time together. For them, it might only have been 19 years, but for Yang Nianqing, it was over 30 years. Relationships between people are built through interaction. Although she planned to accept the Xu family, she still found it hard to accept going home with them so soon.

"It's too late today, I'll visit you in person another day," Yang Nianqing said after a moment's thought.

Gu Rongrong nodded in delight. She was already very happy that her daughter hadn't directly refused. There was plenty of time; they could take things slowly.

Speaking of the Gu family, Yang Nianqing frowned in confusion. Gu Rongrong had mentioned everyone in the Xu family along the way, but she hadn't mentioned her husband, Xu Jiahao, who was her father. Was there something she couldn't say? Could it be that Xu Jiahao had some problem? Could it be that he couldn't bear to part with Xu Daiqing?
No matter what, they will meet again in the end. She has to experience it for herself in this life and not let anger blind her.

Finally, Yang Nianqing, Fan Ruichen, and Fan Meini returned to the Fan family home, while Gu Rongrong and her group boarded the car that the Gu family had come to pick them up and headed back to the Gu residence.

Throughout the journey, Gu Tangtang couldn't contain her excitement and started humming a song in the car.

"So happy!" Gu Rongrong said with a smile.

Gu Tangtang nodded. "My cousin told me to visit her after school or during holidays. She said she would teach me the Gu family's tradition. Her exact words were, 'The Gu family doesn't know any Taoist magic right now. Wouldn't it be a waste of face if we encountered the Beast Taming Sect and Qingxuan Sect?' Aunt, is our Gu family really a Taoist family? What connection do we have with that Beast Taming Sect and Qingxuan Sect?"

Gu Rongrong was stunned for a moment. "I don't know." She really didn't know. For many years, all members of the Gu family had been people with superpowers. As for who the Gu family ancestors were, they were not very clear now. Because of the many years of inheritance, it seemed that some of the inheritance had been broken for a period of time. So, the Gu family was considered a first-class aristocratic family in China, but they really didn't know much about the master's affairs.

Where did Qingqing receive the Gu family's inheritance from? And why does Qingqing hate the Beast Taming Sect so much? Compared to the Beast Taming Sect, her attitude towards the Qingxuan Sect seems more moderate?
Gu Tangtang was a little disappointed that her aunt didn't know either, but she cheered up again. If her aunt didn't know, her grandfather and the others should know, right?
Xu Youhan thought of the Phoenix-Seeking Flower that Yang Nianqing had mentioned. "Nuofei, where did you and Qingqing first meet?" Although he had heard his younger brother talk about his sister, he wasn't really sure when they first met. It sounded like it was on the southwestern border.
"That's where I filmed the first episode of the variety show, the southwestern border. There was a man with a sword chasing Qingqing and her friend. That man was very strong," Xu Nuofei said, recalling the fight with that man on the southwestern border. His sister even had to consult a fortune teller to stop the fight. Xu Youhan pondered for a moment. When he found his father, Xu Jiahao, on the southwestern border, the scene was a mess, with countless signs of a fight and broken trees, all indicating the battle. Since the Phoenix-Seeking Flower recorded in that book was real, then it truly was priceless, attracting so many people to fight for it, risking their lives. The final winner was his sister, Qingqing. She was truly amazing.

Xu Youhan explained the situation and his own analysis to them, and only then did the others realize what kind of existence the Phoenix Seeking Flower was.

"Why is my cousin looking for this flower? Is there someone she needs to save?" Gu Tangtang asked疑惑地.

The scene fell silent again. They really didn't know anything about Yang Nianqing, and they didn't understand why Yang Nianqing would take such a risk to compete with others for the Phoenix Seeking Flower. At this moment, they realized once again that they had really missed out on Yang Nianqing in so much.

Seeing that Gu Rongrong was feeling down, Gu Tangtang hugged her and said, "It's okay, Auntie. My cousin is slowly accepting us now. We have plenty of time, let's take it slow."

Gu Rongrong forced a smile.

“But we can’t let my sister meet Dad now, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain. We don’t want him to make us go back to square one after all the hard work we’ve put in over the decades!” Xu Anyu reminded him from the side. The things his father said made him so angry that he had a heart attack, let alone Yang Nianqing who hadn’t fully accepted them yet.

Gu Rongrong: "………………"

Yes, that idiot Xu Jiahao, I hope he doesn't show up now and affect her daughter's mood!

"Hanhan, when you get back, get rid of all the people your father is watching over here. Don't let him know about Qingqing. He's mentally unstable right now. He can come back to me when he's thought things through. Have someone keep an eye on him and don't let him act on his own. If he wants to be close to Xu Daiqing, let him be! Do you think the Gu family has no one to rely on?" Gu Rongrong was furious when she mentioned Xu Jiahao.

After so many years of marriage, she really couldn't understand why Xu Jiahao, who was almost always obedient to her, would be so stubborn about this one thing. Why couldn't he understand? Now, on this matter, they could only stand on the side of their own daughter!
Regardless of Xu Daiqing's actions, she is ultimately the beneficiary. If it had just been a simple case of babies being switched at birth, she would have two daughters, but that's not the case! Cheng Ying switched her daughters, and for that reason alone, Xu Daiqing can no longer be her daughter. They must each return to their rightful place!

This is what her daughter Qingqing deserves. Moreover, judging from Xu Daiqing's current behavior, this daughter whom she has raised for 19 years does not seem to be as simple and kind as she imagined.

Although she didn't know the underlying principle, Qingqing's boyfriend had used his psychic powers on her. If she hadn't had any ulterior motives, she wouldn't have been in so much pain. Moreover, after Qingqing's boyfriend spoke, the pain stopped. It was obvious what Xu Daiqing was thinking, which made her dislike Xu Daiqing even more. But deep down, she had a feeling that Xu Daiqing was just like that. Why would he think that way?

"Hey!" Gu Rongrong exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't even realized that Qingqing was going home with Fan Ruichen and the others. Did that mean they were going to live together?
Fan Ruichen, Fan Meini………

Gu Rongrong slapped her thigh. She remembered! Fan Ruichen and Fan Meini were the sons and daughters of Shengshi Group, and Zhang Meixin was their mother. The last time they met at the mall, Zhang Meixin was shopping for maternity and baby products with Fan Meini. Zhang Meixin even said that she was buying things for her daughter Qingqing. If that's the case, it means that her daughter Qingqing is pregnant!

Good heavens! She even expressed surprise that Fan Ruichen had gotten pregnant and had a child with a girl so early, thinking that Fan Ruichen's girlfriend might be an immoral girl, which angered Zhang Meixin. She even thought to herself, "This is indeed the Fan family tradition, a marriage by imperial decree!"

How long have they been together? Gu Rongrong doesn't object to Yang Nianqing dating at 19, but after so many years of education, the rules of a socialite are ingrained in her. She simply can't accept that her daughter is married and has children before reaching the legal marriage age! Besides, she has only just found her daughter, and Gu Rongrong doesn't know much about Fan Ruichen. This makes her wonder if Fan Ruichen disrespects her daughter.
"Let's go back, let's go back to the Fan family and pick up Qingqing! Is she pregnant?" Concern clouded her judgment, and Gu Rongrong was flustered. She didn't have time to think much. Although they didn't mind, what would the upper class think if they found out? They couldn't control everyone's mouths. Public opinion was a powerful force. Having lived for so many years and seen the filth and corruption in high society, Gu Rongrong knew all too well what those so-called socialites and noblewomen would say.

even………

Gu Rongrong's eyes darkened slightly. Would Xu Daiqing use this incident to her advantage? For some reason, this thought came to Gu Rongrong's mind, and once it appeared, she couldn't suppress it. However, Gu Rongrong had a persistent feeling that this was exactly what Xu Daiqing would do. Why did she think this way?

"Mom, don't get agitated! Listen to me!" Xu Nuofei looked at Gu Rongrong seriously. He knew his mother's personality. If this matter wasn't clarified today, his mother would definitely go to the Fan family to bring Yang Nianqing back, and his mother Qingqing would definitely be angry because of his mother's attitude. In a sense, the two of them were equally stubborn.

“Qingqing is indeed pregnant. Fan Ruichen admitted it himself. But that child is Qingqing’s life! It’s her lifeline. Nothing can happen to that child, otherwise Qingqing will have a mental breakdown. She tried to commit suicide before…” Xu Nuofei propped his elbows on his knees. He didn’t know how Yang Nianqing had endured all this time, nor did he know how heartbroken she was when she chose to end her life. As her twin brother, he felt very guilty. Why didn’t he feel it? Why didn’t he notice something was wrong? If he had found Qingqing sooner, she wouldn’t have had to go through all this.

The result is beyond doubt, but there's no such thing as knowing beforehand.

"Suicide?...How could that be!" Gu Rongrong murmured in disbelief. That hateful Cheng Ying! That hateful Yang family! Gu Rongrong was furious and trembling with anger, yet she couldn't help but feel relieved that her Qingqing hadn't done anything foolish in the end. A thousand thoughts flashed through her mind, and for some reason, Gu Rongrong suddenly thought of Fan Ruichen's actions in deleting Ren Chi's memories for the film crew.

At that moment, she felt a strange sense of familiarity with the scene, and for a while, her head started to ache for no reason. If a mentalist could do such a thing, then was there something wrong with her too? Just like when she felt that Xu Daiqing would have the thought of hurting Yang Nianqing, once the thought appeared, she couldn't suppress it no matter what.

Gu Rongrong rubbed her forehead. "Hanhan, when we get back, have your uncle find a psychopath to examine me."

"Uh…………"

Is the topic jumping this far? Weren't we just talking about Qingqing? Why are we looking for psychic ability users now?
