Chapter 280 - Heading to the Military School

After the meal had ended, He Niancheng and Huo Yingcheng returned to the military camp together.

When they were about to leave, Gu Qingjiu waved them goodbye.

Huo Yingcheng returned the wave with a face full of smiles, whereas He Niancheng wore the same old look of indifference.

The latter didn’t even say goodbye to her.

Watching their back views as they left, Gu Qingjiu’s feelings were complex.

But afterward, she thought of the fact that she was about to head to the military school tomorrow. She was about to commence a brand new life.

She stored away these feelings in the depths of her heart.

She would just take this as a laughable fantasy.

Now that she had woken from her dream, it was time to start her own life.

Gu Qingjiu’s parents watched her from the back, and unlike earlier on when they were super glad they managed to survive a disaster, they were now gesticulating behind Gu Qingjiu’s back.

When Gu Qingjiu turned around, the two of them had broad smiles on their faces and pretended like nothing happened. “Let’s go, Qingjiu. Let’s go home.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Okay.”

Feeling somewhat depressed, she went home together with her parents.

...

On the 5th of March, Gu Qingjiu got out of bed early in the morning.

She had already packed her luggage. As they were going to the capital today, Gu Qingjiu’s father sent Qingjiu to the hospital early in the morning.

After resolving Hu Yan’s matter, although it was unavoidable that Gu Hong’s relationship with some of his previous clients would be affected due to this matter, his company still trusted him. His big boss even continued to leave Gu Hong in charge of that company.

Hence, Gu Hong didn’t suffer many losses.

So long as he maintained his credibility, it was a matter of time before he regained those old clients he lost.

After all, he had been in Dayi City for so many years. He wouldn’t fail as a person.

He sent Gu Qingjiu to the airport, and on the way, she looked out the window at the scenery.

After one night’s sleep, she basically resumed her usual calm demeanor.

When they reached the airport, her father helped her carry her luggage, while she gazed around at her surroundings. She didn’t get to see Qi Xiaoran before she entered the security screening.

After her luggage went through the security screening, she turned around and waved at her father. “Dad, goodbye.”

Her father waved at her and reminded her, “When you reach the capital, listen to your brother. Also, focus on your training!”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. She was about to leave her parents for now, but she didn’t feel sad about parting.

She knew that she would come back sooner or later, hence she didn’t feel anxious.

One noteworthy thing was that they didn’t tell Gu Qingmo about her trip to the capital.

Gu Qingjiu wanted to give Gu Qingmo a surprise.

After getting through the security screening, it was time to enter the terminal.

The flight to the capital was a popular one; right now, there were already plenty of people.

However, amongst the crowd, Gu Qingjiu spotted Qi Xiaoran at first glance.

She was sitting there in a simple winter sports outfit, and she was wearing her headphones.

Her cold demeanor made her seem like she was in a different world than those around her.

“Qi Xiaoran.”

Gu Qingjiu walked over and sat down on an empty seat opposite her.

When Qi Xiaoran saw Gu Qingjiu, although she no longer ignored her completely, she merely nodded her head as a form of acknowledgment.

After that, Gu Qingjiu whipped out her phone and played on it while waiting to board the plane.

Both of the girls were pretty good looking—pretty in their own way. Hence, they attracted stares from other passengers waiting to board the plane.

Most of the people here were either on business trips or going on vacations with their families. There weren’t many girls like Gu Qingjiu around at this time.

As she didn’t arrive too early, shortly after, it was announced that they could start boarding the plane.
