Chapter 677 - Nationwide Shooting Competition

Gu Qingjiu’s brows too furrowed.

Qi Xiaoran asked, “What happened?”

Gu Qingjiu shook her head. “Nothing.”

Since her older brother and other family were there to attend to this matter, and she was already back in school, it wasn’t convenient for her to go to the capital to look.

She could only wait for news.

But she was shocked to learn that Ella’s parents were such people...

Gu Qingjiu felt that parents’ shouldn’t pin their mistakes on their children.

But looking at Ella’s temperament, despite growing up in a family the same as her Young Uncle’s, she still ended up as such. One could just imagine the powers of genes.

After eating, Gu Qingjiu and Qi Xiaoran returned to the school together.

The next day, Gu Qian and Chu Lian returned to school one after the other.

Classes would officially start the next day, but all the students had to gather for that night.

No one seemed to have changed drastically over the summer break, only slight changes.

The nationwide shooting competition would take place in October.

Gu Qingjiu had to prepare for it.

But other than the routine training, she still worried about what Gu Qingmo had told her over the phone a few days prior about Ella’s matter.

It was only until the weekend did she hear from Gu Qingmo again.

“Brother, how are things going?”

“How could it be going? Just like that, I guess.”

“They brought Ella home. She is staying with Young Uncle’s family for now. After all, it’s been so many years. There’s bound to be a kinship between them. But they would send Ella to a special institution for learning after she goes back. Hopefully, she will wise up. In any case, I find her an eyesore.”

Gu Qingjiu revealed a faint smile. “What eyesore? It’s not like you’re the one who will live with her. If Young Uncle and his family would raise her, just let them be. It’s not our place, as juniors, to interfere.”

“Of course I know that. As your older brother, how can I not know all this?”

In a displeased tone, Gu Qingmo said, “That’s it. I have work to be busy with. Isn’t your competition coming up?”

Gu Qingmo was aware of Gu Qingjiu’s competition in October.

“Mm.”

“Then work hard. We won’t be disturbing you.”

With that, Gu Qingmo hung up.

He was striving hard at work, so inevitably, he was busy.

But Gu Qingjiu wanted to ask how things were going between him and Qin Wange.

Since she had heard nothing until now, that meant Qin Wange had yet to tell Gu Qingmo about that matter.

Although Gu Qingjiu didn’t meddle in Gu Qingmo’s affairs if she didn’t tell him about it, what was the point of dragging this on?

With these complex thoughts, Gu Qingjiu continued with her training.

Ever since she started training, she naturally couldn’t frequently go to Helian Niancheng’s place.

She could only occasionally go there on the weekend.

But this affected nothing.

On 1st October, the nationwide shooting competition officially began.

The Shooting Department members from the military schools all over the country would come to attend this year’s shooting competition.

As for Gu Qingjiu, she had long gained fame before this. Especially in that previous shooting competition.

This formed a profound impression in the minds of those who came from other schools.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hence, Gu Qingjiu had quite a solid reputation in various significant schools.

This year’s competition took place at National Defense University, which had an enormous shooting competition venue.

Gu Qingjiu and the other Shooting Department members could participate, but those from the National Military University of China still had to go for their classes.

Hence, other than the Shooting Department members and those related, they had fewer viewers.

Most of those viewers would be the higher-ups.
