She was, after all, an outsider, and even if Old Grand Master Qin was bias, it was Qin Xuan he was biased toward, not her.
She hummed noncommittally without expressing agreement or disagreement.
Qin Yize frowned, but he didn't offer any further explanations.
Just as he was about to step away, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered the Jade Pendant and hastily opened the drawer below, pointing to the Jade Pendant while speaking to Qin Yize, "I put the Jade Pendant Great Grandfather gave me here..."
The rest of her words went unsaid; she thought Qin Yize would understand.
Qin Yize halted in his tracks, glanced at the Jade Pendant, then his gaze fell on Gu Qiaoqiao.
The desperation in her expression to assert her innocence made Qin Yize's brow furrow slightly.
After a few moments, he said indifferently, "You still don't understand Great Grandfather's character."
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, she had to admit, "Yes, I truly don't understand him."
