Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Never Let Your Guard Down

Xinyan only then learned the truth from Gu Wanqing about what happened back then.

It turned out that the Gu Family had been engaged in business for generations and had accumulated considerable wealth. However, rumors about a family heirloom in the Gu Family had somehow spread.

But regarding this matter, even Grandpa Gu Yiwen had only heard about it from the elders but had never actually seen the item.

Back then, the elderly lady of the Gu Family encountered mishap in the East Province and didn’t get a chance to inform the family before passing away.

So, Grandpa Gu Yiwen only regarded it as a family legacy passed down orally through generations and did not take it seriously.

After all, he hadn’t inherited it from his father and naturally didn’t concern himself with it.

However, while he didn’t take it seriously, other families didn’t think the same. They tried all sorts of means to force the Gu Family to hand over the treasure.

As a result, several families even united to go against the Gu Family, putting them in a very passive situation.

Gu Wanqing, recalling the things her father told her after leaving, was filled with hatred in her eyes.

Due to their selfishness, her Big Brother was killed, and Second Brother went missing, which is why the Gu Family went to great lengths to take her away back then.

Gu Wanqing looked at her daughter: "This is why your grandparents, even under such circumstances, tried every way to take me away. They didn’t want me to follow the same path as your two uncles.

At that time, your grandparents thought the two of us were together and originally planned to have someone take both of us away, but the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes, and they didn’t expect us to be separated.

Yanyan, it’s all mom’s fault. I only thought about diverting those people, which is why I left you with that snake-hearted person. You have no idea how those years away were for mom.

Your grandpa also wanted to delay his departure by a few days to secretly arrange for someone to take you away then, but those families didn’t give us a chance to breathe.

There was no opportunity to return to find you and also the fear of bringing you fatal danger, just hoping you would meet your dad soon, believing he would surely protect you.

Little did I expect that this separation would last so many years, with you enduring so much suffering, and your dad taking missions without regard for his life to climb higher to avenge me.

Those people were dealt with by him, but it also took a toll on his health over the years. Fortunately, our family is now reunited."

Xinyan frowned deeply: "Mom, before, I only knew the Gu Family had no choice but to go abroad and only thought it was due to that storm without realizing there were so many things involved."

Gu Wanqing patted Xinyan’s hand: "Your dad was also afraid of scaring you, so naturally, he couldn’t tell you too much."

Xinyan thought of those families: "Do you know what’s going on with those families now?"

Gu Wanqing gently nodded: "I heard a bit from your dad."

Gu Wanqing told her daughter what she had heard from Han Jingchen yesterday. Before, Jingchen didn’t tell their daughter not to frighten her.

But now it’s different. She is back in the country, and soon her parents will also return. Those families probably won’t stay quiet, and with only Xinyan as a daughter, she fears those people might again extend their despicable hands toward her daughter, so these things must be made clear to her.

Upon hearing, Xinyan said: "Although Dad severely injured the offspring of those families, their foundations are deep-rooted, and they probably won’t give up easily."

Gu Wanqing felt very gratified hearing her daughter’s words, feeling proud of her being a Gu descendant and truly smart; "This is why Mom asked you to come in.

Those families surely know your dad found you, but due to your dad’s special status and you growing up in the countryside, they might not act.

But now that Mom is back, soon your grandparents will also return. They certainly won’t remain quiet for long, so Mom wants to remind you to pay attention to people and things around you and not fall into anyone’s trap."

Xinyan nodded firmly: "Mom, don’t worry. I am strong, and also because of a little accident before, Jinxuan taught me a set of military boxing, and I practice it every day, so self-defense is no problem."

Gu Wanqing took Xinyan’s hand: "Never be careless, understand?"
