Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: It’s Dangerous to Be Your Descendant Chapter 245: Chapter 245: It’s Dangerous to Be Your Descendant Qin Xuan was stunned.

He didn’t know what was happening.

What photo?

Why ask if Gu Qiaoqiao recognizes it?

Gu Qiaoqiao paused for a long moment before she slowly began. “They are my grandparents.”

Hearing Gu Qiaoqiao admit it herself, Gu Qingfeng felt a weight lifted from his heart, and he tried to soften his voice, but it slightly choked up as he said. “Qiaoqiao, your grandfather is the biological son I’ve been searching for fifty years. His name is Gu Kun, not Gu Dashan…”
In the spacious living room, everyone except Uncle Gu, Qin Yize, was shocked.

Shen Manru, who was bringing out a plate of fruits, trembled, almost dropping the plate on the floor.

Fortunately, Qin Xiaoyu, who was quick to react, helped steady the plate in time.

Qin Xiaoyu was young and didn’t think much, so she was just curiously watching Gu Qingfeng and Gu Qiaoqiao.

Her sister-in-law’s grandfather is the son of the Old Patriarch.

Then, what should the sister-in-law call that old man?

She should probably call him Great Grandfather.

But, this felt like something out of a TV drama.

It seemed a bit unreal.

Shen Manru and Grandma Qin exchanged looks, with Grandma Qin shaking her head at Shen Manru, signaling that she should not come forward.

This Old Patriarch was not here on mere business, he had come to recognize his kin.

But this was too sudden.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Gu Qingfeng and spoke in a soft voice, “My grandfather never mentioned he had a father, we all thought he was an orphan.”

Gu Qingfeng felt a pain in his chest and, gritting his teeth, looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, “Qiaoqiao, you are my great-granddaughter, I am your Great Grandfather.”

Gu Qiaoqiao did not speak.

Her face was somewhat pale.

Qin Xuan did not know how to start speaking.

Qin Yize stood up, smiled, and addressed Uncle Gu, “Uncle Gu, it seems the Old Patriarch has something to say to Qiaoqiao, shall we take a walk to the backyard?”

Uncle Gu came to his senses, also realizing it was inappropriate to have so many people here, so he followed Qin Yize and Qin Xuan to the backyard with a smile.

Grandma Qin, meanwhile, pulled Xiao Yu and Shen Manru back to their room.

At this moment, the Qin family’s living room had only Gu Qiaoqiao and Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Qiaoqiao asked Gu Qingfeng, “Please tell me first, where did this photo come from?”

“It was taken at your house in April…” Gu Qingfeng chose to tell the truth.

April?

It had been that long, and she had been at home during that time.

She didn’t even know someone had broken into their house.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression turned slightly cold as she remarked sarcastically, “Taken in April? Did you only just get it developed today?”

Gu Qingfeng, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao’s demeanor, realized she did not want to recognize him.

There was no joy or excitement.

Only wariness and estrangement.

And her words were all barbed.

He took a deep breath, did not respond to Gu Qiaoqiao’s remark, but instead asked her, “Did you already know your identity?”

Gu Qiaoqiao slowly sat down, looking at the photo in her hand, then raised her head, “Yes.”

Tears nearly came to Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.

His heart ached, a reaction to his frustration.

He held back the pain and asked, “Is the jade pocket watch you mentioned real?”

“Of course it’s real.”

“If the pocket watch is real, and it’s a family portrait of us three, with Kunkun being just fourteen that year, why did you lie to me saying you don’t recognize it?”

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the old man in front of her.

She confessed word by word, “Because being your descendant is dangerous. One could meet with an untimely death any day, and if it weren’t for Grandma Yu and the Red Spirit Jade Marrow, I wouldn’t have even met you.”

Gu Qingfeng clutched his cane, his heart tightening painfully as he asked hoarsely, “Is this really the reason?”
