Chapter 1446: The Blackened Good Girl (81)

 After Wu Lingling was thrown out, Father Lu apologized to the guests and made it clear that it was absolutely impossible for Wu Lingling to enter the Lu family.

Everyone understood that Lu Jing was completely finished as well. After such a scandal, he no longer had any hope.

As long as an heir was capable enough, the Lu family could overlook any dark history.

But once the story of Lu Jing being manipulated by Wu Lingling for years spread, the Lu family would never accept him.

Besides, they were already very satisfied with the current heir.

The person who had indirectly brought about everything that had happened today stood quietly beside Father Lu the entire time. He never criticized or commented on Lu Jing and Wu Lingling, merely comforting Father Lu, pouring him water, and asking whether he was feeling unwell.

Such mature behavior greatly pleased the Lu family.

It had to be said that with Lu Jing serving as a stepping stone, this heir had grown rapidly. He was no longer the young master who became arrogant after achieving a little success.

As Tang Guo and Qiao Ge were leaving, the heir's gaze landed on Tang Guo for a brief instant. Tang Guo also glanced back.

Qiao Ge immediately noticed something.

In that split second, it seemed as if the two had exchanged some kind of information.

Of course, he trusted Tang Guo completely. He knew there was absolutely no emotional entanglement between her and that man. However, he had discovered a secret today.

Qiao Ge was intelligent and composed. He held back his questions until they returned to the home that belonged to just the two of them. Wrapping his arms around Tang Guo's waist, he spoke softly.

“Guoguo, I have many questions. If I ask, will you answer?”

“Go ahead. I’ll answer everything.”

Qiao Ge had not been hopeful. Hearing her say that, he was genuinely surprised. After all, what he wanted to know were truly her secrets.

Secrets that really shouldn't be shared with anyone else.

“Guoguo, think carefully. These are your secrets. Aren't you afraid of me knowing?”

“Would Gege tell anyone else?”

“Never. Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't tell anyone. If you're willing to tell me, I'll carry those secrets to my grave. I won't tell a soul.”

“Then that's enough. Besides, I'm not afraid of others knowing these secrets.”

She didn't care.

And because she didn't care, she feared nothing.

Qiao Ge could sense her lack of fear and sighed softly.

“Guoguo, was losing that phone back then intentional?”

“Yes.”

“So…” A frightening guess emerged in Qiao Ge's mind. Looking back on everything that had happened today, it was the only explanation that made sense. “So, Guoguo, did you know Wu Lingling would call you that day? Did you know what would happen, and that it would even implicate you and lead to terrible consequences? Was that why you chose to throw away the phone?”

Qiao Ge had already pieced together most of it.

His Guoguo had always been a good student. One phone call from Wu Lingling could very well have dragged her into dealings with those gangsters.

And gangsters were often especially interested in obedient girls like her.

At that point, the one who would suffer wouldn't be Wu Lingling anymore.

It would very likely have been the treasure in his arms.

“Can you tell me what would have happened if you hadn't thrown away the phone?”

Tang Guo raised her brows and smiled faintly.

“Yes.”

She couldn't be bothered to tell the entire story. Instead, she directly took out a Yellow Millet Dream and fed it to Qiao Ge.

When the dream ended, Qiao Ge hurriedly pulled her tightly into his embrace, his body trembling slightly.

Everything he had seen in the dream was unbearable.

In that dream, they had never met.

Not long after, he had returned to the hospital and reached the pinnacle of achievement in the medical world.
