Chapter 691: Untitled
At that time, he had already told her about his girlfriend.
Was that girlfriend at the time Qin Wange?
Although those dreadful things from the previous lifetime didn’t happen in this lifetime, he still couldn’t avoid it after all.
Gu Qingjiu couldn’t help but feel heartache for Gu Qingmo.
After all, he was her older brother, her dearest older brother.
“Brother…”
“I understand. You don’t have to comfort me.”
However, Gu Qingmo thought too much. He raised his hand and looked uglier, smiling than if he were crying. “I have straightened out my thinking and know I’m useless. After I go overseas, I will work hard and make something of myself. It’s not that I mind her family background, but I can’t tolerate the fact that she hid it from me.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
They were actually in more or less similar situations, with Helian Niancheng hiding his family background from her back then.
Although the nature of the matter was the same, there still was a difference in their situations.
At least there was a vast difference between Helian Niancheng and Qin Wange.
“Brother, it’s okay. Work hard and push ahead in your career.”
Although Gu Qingjiu urged him so on the surface, she was planning to do something.
Her older brother had sacrificed too much for her.
She couldn’t possibly sit by and do nothing while watching her older brother lose his happiness.
She chatted with Gu Qingmo until late at night. Even if it was only beer, one could get drunk.
No idea how much Gu Qingmo drank. In any case, Gu Qingjiu was the one who sent him back to the hotel in the end. She then booked another room next to his.
Sometimes, in consideration of her safety, Gu Qingmo would do this too.
It was just that this time their roles were switched.
She set her alarm, and when she woke up the next morning, she went to wake Gu Qingmo up.
Having drunk alcohol for the entire night yesterday, Gu Qingmo had a splitting headache the next day.
He could barely force himself to stay awake to go to the airport.
Gu Qingjiu sent him there, and on the way, she sent a text message to Qin Wange using her phone.
While they were waiting at the airport, Gu Qingjiu could tell that although Gu Qingmo appeared not to care, he perhaps had a bit of a sense of anticipation in his heart.
As he was biding Gu Qingjiu his last farewell, he kept gazing uneasily around his surroundings.
Until the end, when he had no choice but to enter the security check area, Gu Qingmo seemed to give up hope entirely and finally gazed at Gu Qingjiu with disappointment. “Qingjiu, Brother is leaving. In the next few years, take good care of Dad and Mom. When I have time, I will come back to visit you guys. You must work hard in school too.”
“Mm!”
Gu Qingjiu nodded heavily. Whatever should have happened had already been turned around entirely.
Gu Qingmo only hoped that Gu Qingmo could work hard overseas.
“Brother, you must call Dad and Mom frequently. I need to train and won’t be able to take your calls frequently. Let’s check when we’re free.”
She watched as Gu Qingmo nodded and smiled while waving at her. He then joined the queue to go through the security check before eventually disappearing at the end of the walkway with a mildly hesitant look on his face.
Gu Qingjiu’s eyes stung a little as she watched Gu Qingmo’s back view as he left.
She touched her face and realized that a tear had subconsciously trickled down her face.
Perhaps it was out of gladness.
Glad that the events of the previous life didn’t happen. Although there were still various kinds of difficulties facing her in this lifetime, at the very least, her older brother was still around, and he was going off to strive for himself.
Also, her parents were still by her side. There was nothing more she could ask for in this lifetime.
She gazed around the airport but failed to see that familiar figure.
She couldn’t help but sigh for Gu Qingmo.
