Chapter 800 Bai Qiong's Past
Chapter 800 Bai Qiong's Past
Bai Qiong was stunned. She didn't expect that Mr. Gu would suddenly associate it in this way.
"Actually, I've researched your background before. However, apart from the information after you turned eighteen, I couldn't find anything before that." Old Master Gu said in a deep voice, "At that time, I thought you must have had a remarkable past, so I couldn't find out anything."
"Why don't you ask me directly?" Bai Qiong asked.
Old Master Gu shook his head, sighed, and said, "Everyone has a few secrets in their hearts. It would be boring if we tried to get to the bottom of everything."
At this point, his eyes softened as he looked at Bai Qiong. "No matter what happened to you just now, I want to say that I am someone you can trust."
These words made Bai Qiong's heart tremble slightly, and his brows drooped, as if he was thinking.
After a long moment, Bai Qiong raised her head and looked at the old man with a determined look. "You're right. I was the second daughter of the Bai family, Bai Ling."
"Bai Ling? You're Bai Ling?" Old Master Gu exclaimed. "Back then, in protest of the family's business marriage, you publicly insulted the Nangong family's second young master and kicked down the Bai family's old man, leaving the family behind."
Bai Qiong smiled bitterly and shook her head. "You seem quite knowledgeable about what happened back then."
"How could I not understand?" Old Man Gu sighed with emotion. "Your deeds back then were well-known throughout the country. Many women think you are a woman of the new era and their idol."
Even he was impressed by Bai Ling and wanted to see her beauty.
Unfortunately, after Bai Ling escaped from the engagement party, she disappeared and her whereabouts are unknown.
He never imagined that the person who rescued him when he was in trouble was this legendary figure.
Sometimes, fate is really mysterious.
The more you want to pursue something, the more difficult it is to reach. But once you let go, many things will come naturally.
"Back then, I fled Southern Province and came to Shangqing, hiding my identity, just to live a stable life. Over the years, I've had many suitors, but I never took them seriously." Bai Qiong said quietly, "Because I knew that one day, the Bai family would come knocking on my door, and then... the family I had worked so hard to build would be destroyed."
After hearing this, Mr. Gu understood.
Bai Qiong has remained single all these years in order to become a burden to others, fearing that one day the Bai family would come knocking on her door and destroy this wonderful family to pieces.
Old Master Gu took a deep breath and held Bai Qiong's hand.
Bai Qiong was slightly startled and looked at Mr. Gu in confusion.
"Old lady, although it's not appropriate for me to say these words now, but... I still want to say that although the Bai family is wealthy and powerful and is one of the best families in Southern Province, my Gu family is not bad either."
"Especially in these years, under Bei Sheng's control, you have reached another peak. I believe that the Gu family is now strong enough to help you withstand the pressure from the Bai family."
"Old Man Gu..."
Old Master Gu shook his head and smiled. "You're already old. It's not appropriate to be so pretentious."
Bai Qiong smiled with relief, "Thank you."
"So what is the matter that the Bai family is looking for you this time?" Old Master Gu returned to the main topic.
"My sister, Bai Qian, and her son Bai Tian are trying to vie for the position of Patriarch of the Bai Family. She wants me to go back and support her," Bai Qiong said calmly. "If I don't agree, he'll harm Xiao Ji and Luo Luo."
