Just seeing him, just breathing in the air from the place he inhabited, left Gu Qianqian feeling as if she had started to suffocate.
Her hands were cold; her feet were icy!
She seemed to be unable to stand, yet she gritted her teeth and refused to fall.
She smiled, as naturally as she could manage, but the hint of a smile that formed on her face seemed empty. Elder Mr. Gu had already beckoned her, wearing a stern expression: "Come over."
Not wanting to upset elder Mr. Gu, Gu Qianqian walked over obediently and asked, "Uncle Gu Baichuan, do you need me for something?"
"I want to show you something!"
With those words, elder Mr. Gu's coarse hand opened in front of her revealing a jade piece held tightly within. He asked her cautiously, "Have you seen this jade before?"
"Eh..."
In her confusion, Gu Qianqian's brows slightly furrowed. She looked at elder Mr. Gu in puzzlement, "Why do you have my mother's Jade Pendant?"
