Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her!

Chapter 199: They’re No Different From Being Dead!

“Maybe.”

After Gu Qingjiu had comforted her and after having revealed all of those pent-up emotions, Qi Yuefeng felt slightly better.

Before she continued to cook, she had wiped her tears and tidied herself.

“Look at me, I shouldn’t have said those unhappy things to you. After eating, you should return to the troops tomorrow morning. Don’t let this matter hold up your work.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. “I know. If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to the troops tomorrow.” After a slight pause, she decided not to tell her about the advanced training camp that she might get into for the time being. “Mom, remember to inform me if something crops up. Don’t shoulder it yourself and suffer grievances in silence.”

“What grievances can I possibly suffer?”

Qi Yuefeng smiled disarmingly. “She... didn’t say much. I was the one who couldn’t get over it myself.”

Gu Qingjiu knew Qi Yuefeng was only saying this to comfort her.

With Tan Yalan’s temperament, how could she have said nothing?

Gu Qingjiu had experienced how cruel her mouth could be.

When she spoke, her words could prick and make you feel uncomfortable all over.

Someone with a soft personality like Qi Yuefeng likely wouldn’t be able to withstand that.

But she didn’t continue speaking.

After she was done cooking, the family sat together and had dinner.

At the dining table, nobody mentioned the incident that happened earlier. As usual, Gu Hong asked Gu Qingjiu about what was going on in the troops.

Gu Qingjiu answered him.

Halfway through their meal, someone came knocking on the door again.

The three of them felt odd and wondered who would be around at that hour.

Could it be Chen Yanhong from downstairs?

Gu Qingjiu was the first to set down her chopsticks to get to the door.

When the door opened, she nearly slammed the door shut by reflex.

The person standing outside was Tan Yalan.

Tan Yalan wore a fur coat, her hair impeccably done up, her diamond earrings giving off a dazzling shine.

She exuded a noble aura that differentiated her from everyone else.

Her face was the same as the one Gu Qingjiu remembered.

Even throughout the few years she had spent at the Yu family, Tan Yalan didn’t seem to have much change in appearance.

She appeared the same in the previous life and this one.

The only difference was Tan Yalan’s gaze at her.

There seemed to be a hint of surprise amidst that disbelief.

“You... you’re Qingjiu?”

Appearing delighted, she extended out her hands to hold Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu glanced at the vibrant color on her nails before turning her body sideways in disdain. “What are you doing? And who are you?”

She naturally knew who Tan Yalan was, but she certainly wouldn’t admit to recognizing her.

Whether it was real, or she was putting up an act, Tan Yalan’s eyes that had an expensive eyeshadow drawn on, started brimming with tears after seeing Qingjiu.

She appeared sorrowful. “Qingjiu, I’m your biological mother! I’m here to find you. Aren’t you happy to see me?”

Gu Qingjiu sneered, her brows furrowing even deeper now.

“Must I believe you’re my biological mother just because you claim so? In my eyes, my parents are no different from being dead!”

Inside the house, Gu Hong and Qi Yuefeng had terrible countenances at seeing Tan Yalan turn up.

But hearing Gu Qingjiu’s fierce words still startled Qi Yuefeng. “Qingjiu, you mustn’t speak like that.”

The cursing was too intense. Even though they didn’t wish to see Gu Qingjiu go back, they felt Qingjiu shouldn’t put it like that.

Tan Yalan’s expression changed instantly.
