Chapter 895: What If I Said He Was My Benefactor in a Past Life—Would You Believe Me?
"Why would he be angry?"
"He won't be angry, he won't be jealous." Xiao Wen gave a look that said 'you're so silly'.
"He's Ah Ze's comrade, isn't it normal for me to be a bit nicer to him?" Gu Qiaoqiao frowned, looking angrily at Xiao Wen, "I was clearly talking about you, how did it shift to me?"
"Alright, alright, I was just joking." Xiao Wen backed off when she saw the opening.
"This joke isn't something to make lightly."
"I just felt like you and he have a kind of... how should I put it..." Xiao Wen hesitated for a moment.
Gu Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes at her, replied irritably, "Just say it as it is..."
"It's like... as if you've known each other for a long time... You're very close to him, feels like family and a benefactor, but there's also a trace of awe..." Xiao Wen didn't hold back, as this was how it was between her and Gu Qiaoqiao. Once something came to mind, naturally she had to lay it all out.
This was also a manifestation of loyalty.
One had to admit, Xiao Wen's knack for understanding people's hearts was indeed impressive.
Gu Qiaoqiao was momentarily stunned, her eyes glazing over with a faint light, half-jokingly said, "If I said he was my benefactor in a past life, would you believe it?"
Xiao Wen nodded without hesitation, "I believe, of course, I believe, how could I not?"
Just as Gu Qiaoqiao was about to speak, the car slowly came to a stop on the empty space in front of the Gu Family's entrance.
At this moment, Ling Nan had not spoken a word. The key point was, he couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about nor did he know what to say.
He liked it this way because he remembered nothing and didn't like being questioned as it only added to his worries.
Once the car stopped, the driver opened the door and Ling Nan was the first to step out, curiously looking around.
After taking a look around, he withdrew his gaze.
Because it was now the end of winter, it was still chilly and everything was bleak, but the green pines planted on both sides of the road were tall and verdant.
Bringing a touch of greenery and warmth to this dreary winter.
Outside the gates, in the Gu Garden, a row of pine trees was also planted, tall and majestic, already as high as three stories.
The trunks required two people to encircle, having stood through centuries.
It's said that when the Gu Garden was initially built, these trees were meant to be cut down as they were obstacles, but the great-grandfather's grandfather at the time stopped it.
Thus, the Gu Garden carved out a lane here, which meant leaving space specifically for these green pines to grow.
That's why they've been preserved to this day.
Ling Nan glanced at them, then lost interest and withdrew his gaze.
Gu Qiaoqiao calmly glanced at Ling Nan, also knowing inside that this child probably didn't grow up in the mountains.
She only knew about the Peach Blossom Valley, and didn't know exactly how it was like there, but thought it must be nice.
Could it be that during spring, the mountains are filled with blooming peach blossoms, otherwise why would it be called Peach Blossom Valley?
This should be a place similar to an imaginary land of joy and plenty.
If Ling Nan recovers his memory, it would be wonderful to have him take her for a walk there...
Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao stepped forward and gently said, "Xiao Nan, this is the Gu Garden, I'll take you in."
Suddenly, Ling Nan, who had been relaxed at the entrance, wore a solemn expression and did not move.
Gu Qiaoqiao asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"Am I really your distant relative?"
