Chapter 1245: Chapter 1149: Did the Old Master give you a hard time?

Sure, the young man in the middle was actually Uncle Bai.

Uncle Bai had been with Godfather for so many years, and although Xia Yangyang wasn’t particularly close to him,

she did have quite a bit of contact with him when they were on that island on Island Lake.

Uncle Bai’s face was very distinctive, and even in middle age, it remained handsome.

Back then, Xia Yangyang had even told Gao Huizhi that Uncle Bai must have been a real hunk when he was young.

Gao Huizhi had said, “You’re right, Zhou was indeed a hunk when he was young, not just a hunk but also a high-achieving student who had studied abroad.”

Xia Yangyang then curiously asked, “Since Uncle Bai is so impressive, why is he content to be your housekeeper?”

Gao Huizhi answered, “He made some mistakes when he was young and had nowhere to go, so I took him in.”

Gao Huizhi kept it light.

But Xia Yangyang didn’t ask any further, after all, it involved someone’s privacy.

Uncle Bai had a noticeable black mole at the corner of his eye.

The person in the photo had one too.

This made Xia Yangyang truly confirm in her heart that the person was Zhou Boyan.

Xia Yangyang truly found it odd.

Zhou Boyan had followed Godfather for so many years, but in the end, he had betrayed Godfather.

Actually, Xia Yangyang hadn’t thought too much about it at the time.

According to what Zhou Boyan said, Li Zhiqian used his granddaughter to threaten him, which was understandable.

Godfather cherished the past affection and didn’t have the heart to deal with Uncle Bai, and finally let him go.

Xia Yangyang had originally thought that the matter was over.

But Xia Yangyang had never imagined that she would find this photo in the old man’s bookcase.

But at that moment, Xia Yangyang’s mind was a blank.

Xia Yangyang also couldn’t understand if there was some connection here,

or was it just a coincidence?

Yet, a thread of suspicion had subtly formed in Xia Yangyang’s heart.

Driven by her curiosity, Xia Yangyang took hold of this thread, wanting to explore further down.

Xia Yangyang took out her phone and, through the glass cabinet, took a picture of the photo.

Then she left the old man’s room.

This matter left Xia Yangyang unable to calm her emotions.

She stood alone on the balcony for quite a while.

Until Gu Qichen came to pick her up.

Today, Xia Yangyang had come over by herself.

Gu Qichen had an important meeting.

After the meeting, Gu Qichen hurried over.

He was always worried that Xia Yangyang would be at a disadvantage in the Gu Family’s residence.

Xia Yangyang just stood on the balcony watching Gu Qichen park the car and get out.

Gu Qichen quickly made his way up and found Xia Yangyang’s location.

Gu Qichen approached, “Why are you standing here lost in thought? Did the old man give you a hard time?”

Xia Yangyang shook her head, “Not at all, we were drinking and making merry, turning swords into plowshares.”

Gu Qichen looked at Xia Yangyang doubtfully, “Really?”

Xia Yangyang nodded, “Really.”

“Then why do you look so weighted down with worries, standing here?”

Xia Yangyang said, “It’s nothing, just thinking about some things.”

Seeing the redness in Gu Qichen’s eyes, Xia Yangyang knew he was very tired.

Xia Yangyang didn’t want to burden Gu Qichen with this matter.

And Xia Yangyang had just thought it over.

If a lot of things really did have to do with the Gu Family, with the old master,

the truth behind it would be cruel.

After all, Gao Huizhi was Gu Qichen’s biological father, and the old master was his maternal grandfather.

It was all very complex, and even if Xia Yangyang discovered the truth, she wouldn’t tell Gu Qichen.

“Where’s Xia Ye?” Gu Qichen asked.

Xia Yangyang replied, “He’s already gone to sleep in the small room. Are you hungry? Let’s have something to eat and then head home.”
