Gu Qichen pondered for a moment: “My sister was a special-admitted student, attending college at a film school when she was just thirteen, she graduated at sixteen, and then it seems she went to Sydney for further study for two years. After returning to our country, she entered the film circle and once achieved great fame. What followed, you know, she married Xi Jiachen at the peak of her career…”
Xia Yangyang seemed to understand something.
So, Gu Qichen’s sister and her mother actually graduated from the same school and were in the same class.
From the photographs, it seemed they had a good relationship with each other.
Xia Yangyang suddenly thought of something.
The time when she first met Gu Mingzhu.
When Gu Mingzhu saw her, her expression changed dramatically.
The first question she asked was about her parents?
Back then, Xia Yangyang found it strange but didn’t think too much about it.
In retrospect, had Gu Mingzhu seen Tan Zhen in her when she looked at her?
After all, Xia Yangyang and her mother had quite a resemblance.
They quickly arrived at Gu Residence.
As they got out of the car, they saw Gu Zhaohan.
Gu Zhaohan was bathing Oscar in the yard.
Oscar saw Gu Qichen coming, wagged his tail and ran over. Wet all over and covered in foam, he threw himself at Gu Qichen.
Gu Qichen gave a command to sit.
Oscar obediently sat down.
Gu Qichen bent down and stroked Oscar’s head: “Good boy.”
At this time, Gu Zhaohan also walked over and greeted, “Uncle.”
But Gu Zhaohan didn’t greet Xia Yangyang.
He seemed to be deliberately avoiding her gaze.
Xia Yangyang also felt quite awkward.
Xia Yangyang quickly said, “I’ll go inside first.”
After saying that, she ran into the house.
Xia Yangyang knew she was cowardly, but she had no other way to deal with this situation besides running away.
Gu Qichen seemed to be talking with Gu Zhaohan outside, and he didn’t come in for a long time.
Xia Yangyang simply decided to go upstairs on her own.
The housekeeper mentioned that the old master was practicing calligraphy in his study.
The old master had a rule that he was not to be disturbed when practicing calligraphy.
His study had a box full of finished calligraphic parchment.
The old master would put each finished piece inside the box, lock it away, and wouldn’t show it to anyone.
So till now, nobody knows what is written in those boxes.
Xia Yangyang didn’t go to the study.
Instead, she went straight to the rooftop.
Because the housekeeper just mentioned that Gu Mingzhu was there.
The rooftop was packed with an array of flowers and plants.
The soil was specially dug up from swampy land.
Gu Mingzhu had built an aerial garden on the rooftop, planting a variety of exotic flora, most of which Xia Yangyang could not even name.
When Gu Mingzhu was free at home, she’d personally tend to these plants on the rooftop.
When Xia Yangyang arrived, Gu Mingzhu was taking care of a Dendrobium.
This was Gu Mingzhu’s favorite pot.
Each plant is said to cost over 5000 US Dollars, specially brought from Mount Kinabalu National Park in Malaysia.
She always gave it the most care.
“Sister.” Xia Yangyang called out.
Gu Mingzhu seemed to be lost in thought.
Xia Yangyang’s sudden greeting startled her.
Her fingers unconsciously loosened up.
The potted Dendrobium fell and hit the ground.
The vase was broken, leaving a huge hole.
The Dendrobium’s stem snapped, breaking off.
