Chapter 690: Untitled
He told her he had proposed a few days ago, and now the worst scenario had played out.
Broke up?
Gu Qingjiu knew that Gu Qingmo must be in great pain. Since the weekend was about to come, Gu Qingjiu would head to Elder Gong’s to train. Hence, she directly set off from school.
But she called Elder Gong and told him she could only go over the next day.
She was meeting Gu Qingmo in a roadside store in the capital.
When Gu Qingjiu reached, Gu Qingmo was already there.
Compared to his lively manner a couple of days prior, Gu Qingjiu was shocked to see the bleak state he was in.

It was like he had aged quite a few years overnight.
He was seated at a table and drinking beer all by himself.
“Brother.”
Gu Qingjiu walked over and greeted him.
Gu Qingmo raised his head. At the sight of Gu Qingmo, he smiled at her bitterly. “You’re here? Have a seat.”
He quietly poured himself another glass of beer. “Just order whatever you want. My treat. I’ll be going overseas, and it will be three years before I get to see you and Dad and Mom again.”
Gu Qingjiu paused. “Didn’t you say you would be gone for two years?”
“That was the... quickest time I decided for her sake. There’s no use for that now.”
Gu Qingmo said that in a light tone. At the mention of her, he couldn’t restrain his heartache.
Gu Qingjiu asked, avoiding his wound, “Brother, aren’t you meeting up with your other friends before leaving?”
“I met up with all of them already. I’ll be leaving tomorrow, and I just wish to have a good chat with you tonight.”
“Mm.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded.
“Go ahead and order something.”
He urged, seeing as Gu Qingjiu wasn’t ordering anything.
Gu Qingjiu shook her head. “I’ll do it later, not much of an appetite right now. Brother, have you spoken to Dad and Mom about this?”
“I... haven’t told them. I will do so when the timing is suitable in the future. In any case, I will be overseas for such a long time.”
Speaking of this, Gu Qingmo felt a headache. He lowered his head and stroked his head vigorously. “Qingjiu, in the past, I always felt that with my talent, it wasn’t a difficult task for me to make something of myself. That since the company is willing to give me opportunities, that if I work hard, I will accomplish great things in the future. But it is only now that I realize, compared to one’s family background, all my hard work is nothing but a fart!”
“I work so darned hard, yet in the eyes of others, I’m merely a person who has no backing whatsoever.” historical

Gu Qingjiu could directly hear the meaning behind his pained words.
She frowned; she hadn’t expected that with Qin Wange’s excellent temperament, her family’s attitude was so atrocious.
Regardless, what they said was too hurtful.
Gu Qingjiu felt uneasy about her impending visit to Helian Niancheng’s parents in Penalan once again.
However, she had met Helian Niancheng’s mother before and had a pretty good impression of her.
So...
But she didn’t dare to say it out loud.
“Brother, don’t let your thoughts run wild. You’ve always been terrific since young.”
Gu Qingjiu urged him in a soothing voice.
She suddenly recalled the events of the previous lifetime.
She had no idea how her older brother, who had fought for her, ended up afterward.
