Someone is watching her from the dark

After a long while, Gu Yanzhi finally said dryly, "I was too rash. Don't take the words just now to heart."

"Mm. Alright, I know everything. Don't worry." Nian Wanru said softly, as she gently wiped away her tears. Then, she said in a low voice, "My dad did indeed talk a little too much. I'll talk to dad about it later."

"Don't say anymore. You and I know each other." Gu Yanzhi closed the car door: "I'll send you back first."

"Right." Nian Wanru listened to Gu Yanzhi's apology but his heart was still empty.

After Gu Yanzhi returned home and left, Gu Qingyao looked at Nian Wanru and said, "Mother …"

"Actually, it's fine. Your father has always been unable to control his temper. Today is my fault. I should have said something about it." Nian Wanru laughed bitterly.

Gu Qingyao looked at Nian Wanru for a long time, then said softly: "Does mother feel regret?"

"What?"

"Every time you retreat, do you regret it?"

"What do you regret..." Nian Wanru laughed: "Did you forget what your mother said last time? Furthermore, just by looking at your words, your father already knows how to retreat.

Gu Qingyao lowered her eyes, and asked after a long while: "Mother, do you need to find something to do?"

"Find something?"

"Mm. For example …" Before Gu Qingyao could finish speaking, her phone rang.

She took a look and her expression immediately turned serious. "Mom, I might have to pick up the phone first."

"Go on, don't worry about Mom." Nian Wanru laughed: "I think I'm doing quite well."

Her smile was very sincere. Gu Qingyao's footsteps paused slightly, but she was unable to smile no matter what.

Xiao Ze was waiting at the door, seeing that Gu Qingyao had come out, he put down the phone: "Miss, the voice over there has been analyzed, it is indeed Assistant Ling."

Gu Qingyao closed her eyes: "What's the content?"

Xiao Ze handed over a pair of earphones to Gu Qingyao, who frowned as he listened. Do you really not care if your child is dead or alive? "

Gu Yanzhi's voice was extremely soft, but he clenched his teeth. "Shut up!"

Your child is dead.

Gu Qingyao closed her eyes with a face as cold as frost: "Can Xiao Yang think of a way to get Ling Yiyi's DNA?"

"Sure, as long as the school arranged for a medical examination, obtaining Ling Yiyi's DNA wasn't difficult at all." Xiao Ze said softly.

"Alright, as soon as possible, we can't let Ling Xiaoman escape with Ling Yiyi." Gu Qingyao's face turned extremely ugly.

The worst possible scenario would happen, if Ling Yiyi was really Ling Xiaoman's and Gu Yanzhi's child, then Gu Yanzhi's cheating …. Didn't this mean that they had been planning for a long time?

When she thought about this, Gu Qingyao's heart practically sank. She didn't know if Nian Wanru was lying to herself all these years, or something else. She also didn't know if in the last month of her previous life Gu Yanzhi betrayed her and her mother for another family.

Gu Qingyao didn't even dare to think about it. Was it related to Gu Yanzhi?

All of this seemed to be a huge mystery that pressed down on Gu Qingyao so hard that she couldn't even breathe.

She closed her eyes for a while before saying, "I'm going out for a walk."

"Where is Miss going?"

"Let's go to the Pearl Beach." Gu Qingyao said softly.

Xiao Ze originally wanted to advise the season to be too cold, but after hesitating for a bit, he stopped himself: "That's fine, Miss, please wear these."

Xiao Ze hurriedly entered the room to bring an overcoat over. Gu Qingyao put it on without thinking, and then looked at Xiao Ze with a smile: "I'll ask in advance, don't you usually report everything to Mr. Li?"

"Of course not." Xiao Ze was startled: "I belong to young miss."

Gu Qingyao smiled in satisfaction: "Good girl."

She reached out and rubbed Xiao Ze's head. Xiao Ze was confused, thinking that he treated her like a child.

He wanted to refute that he was not like this, but after hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ze still remained silent.

Forget it, as long as Gu Qingyao is happy, there is nothing bad about it.

Xiao Ze felt that Gu Qingyao's life was too depressing, it did not even seem like a state that an eighteen year old girl should be in.

As expected, there were not many people at Ming Zhu beach during the season. Gu Qingyao sat by the beach for a while, but she was still unable to endure the cold.

As expected, it was good for her to relax. However, not long after, Gu Qingyao unconsciously looked in one direction.

His intuition told Gu Qingyao that there was someone watching her closely from the other side.

She frowned and said: "Xiao Ze."

"Hello." The man seemed to have noticed Gu Qingyao and laughed. He walked over and handed over a name card: "Miss, I am a street photographer, may I ask if I can take a picture for you?"

Gu Qingyao looked at the name card: Mu Han?

"Yes, my name is Mu Han, my apologies for looking at you, but you are just too extraordinary, I really want to take a picture for you." Mu Han said softly.

The boy was very handsome and did not look that old. He was very polite when he opened his mouth, so it was not annoying at all.

Gu Qingyao lowered her eyes and laughed: "Your accent doesn't seem to be from Seahold."

"Ah, yes. I grew up abroad and rarely came back, so my accent might be a little strange. Sorry to offend you." Mu Han laughed, blushing a little.

Gu Qingyao thought for a while, then said: "Did you take these photos for fun?"

"No, I'm participating in a photographic competition to prepare for college. I want to study photography, so I need a set of excellent photos to convince my interviewers." Mu Han said seriously, his eyes filled with hope for the future.

Gu Qingyao looked at Mu Han, and couldn't help but smile: "If it's not commercial, we can shoot, but you need to send me your photos, okay?"

"Of course, thank you so much. Thank you so much!" Mu Han was clearly prepared to be rejected, upon hearing this he was immediately overjoyed.

Xiao Ze looked at Gu Qingyao in surprise. Seeing that Mu Han had gone to discuss the shooting with the shop, he could not help but ask softly: "Why would Miss agree to it?"

"He really likes photography and is trying his best to prepare for this department. As a child of this age, it's not easy for him. If he can help, he can help." Gu Qingyao laughed.

If only he had such tenacity in his previous life, he might not have fallen so miserably.

Mu Han returned very quickly. He had obviously communicated already, so he anxiously set up a tripod and faced the light source seriously. He communicated with Gu Qingyao about the filming matter in a soft voice and took a whole series of pictures.

Just by looking at the youth's focused expression, Gu Qingyao became slightly lost in thought.

A faint glimmer of light shone through the French windows and appeared on the side of Gu Qingyao's face.

Mu Han watched the film for a while, then bowed deeply and said: "Thank you so much."

"It's alright, Xiao Ze, leave your mailbox behind for a while." Gu Qingyao laughed.

"Yes." Xiao Ze immediately left his mailbox.

Mu Han earnestly noted it down, then said: "May I ask how I should address you?"

"My surname is Gu." Gu Qingyao said with a smile.

Mu Han's expression slightly changed, and quickly recovered to a calm state, "Miss Gu, then I will contact you again in the future. Thank you."

Gu Qingyao slightly frowned, but a familiar voice cut in —
