Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Novel - Chapter 1380

1380 Dusty Memories Are Awakened

If Xue Liang had an urgent matter, he could have called directly instead of sending a voice message. He was suddenly so serious as if what he wanted to say was a little difficult to say.

As expected, the next piece of news was told to Fourth Brother by Huo Yuzhou, who was now telling her.

“Huo… Huo Yuzhou said that he found out that Madam Tan went to Li City because of someone with the surname Kang. Madam Tan said that Miss Kang wants to deal with you. She even said that this is just the beginning. Miss Kang won’t let you off.

“He… He also sent someone to find out. He knew that you wouldn’t believe him, so he informed me. I haven’t found any clues yet, but I was afraid that the Kang family would attack again, so I wanted to remind you.”

!!
After the voice message ended, Qiao Xi’s expression was slightly subtle. She did not expect Fourth Brother to contact Huo Yuzhou so quickly. However, Huo Yuzhou’s words sounded true. After all, she had found some clues that pointed to Kang Jichuan and Miss Kang.

Why was that man targeting her now that years had passed? Was he afraid that she would testify against their crimes, or was it because Miss Kang was seriously ill and needed her blood again? But no matter what the reason was, if she married Tan Yu and went to Y Nation, they could easily play with her in the Kang family’s territory.

Qiao Xi did not reply. She picked up her phone and prepared to go upstairs. She had just stood up when she felt her vision go dark. Countless images surged into her mind crazily. Her ears buzzed, and her mind was extremely chaotic as if it was about to split open.

The scene in her dream was quickly squeezed into her mind, appearing in her mind over and over again. Gu Zheng, Kang Jichuan, and an unfamiliar girl were in the scene.

Qiao Xi grunted slightly in pain. She closed her eyes and pressed her hands on her temples.

Had those dusty memories been awakened because she saw Kang Jichuan?

She whimpered in pain and endured the discomfort as she walked forward. However, in the next second, a tall and hot body hugged her from behind. His warm palm landed on her forehead as he stroked it gently. His voice that was like a clear spring echoed in her ears. “Xi Xi, what’s wrong?”

Knowing that the person hugging her was Gu Zheng, Qiao Xi relaxed and fell weakly into Gu Zheng’s embrace.

She closed her eyes tightly. It was as if a movie was playing in her mind. Images appeared in front of her frame by frame. Kang Jichuan’s gentle and hypocritical face kept appearing in her mind.

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Xi who was frowning in pain. His slightly cold fingers gently stroked her cheek, and his eyes were filled with worry and helplessness. He knew that Qiao Xi was recovering her memories. This process would definitely be very painful, but this was something she had to experience. If he could endure all of this in Qiao Xi’s place, he would agree without the slightest hesitation.

He carried Qiao Xi upstairs and gently placed her on the bed. He took off her shoes, took off her shawl, and covered her with the blanket. Then, he lay on his side beside Qiao Xi and pulled her into his arms. His hot palm gently stroked her forehead.

At this moment, Qiao Xi’s mind finally recovered its calm. She seemed to have had a very long dream. In front of her was an endless sea. Waves slapped the shore, and her rapid and messy breathing filled her ears.

She was trying her best to run forward to escape the people chasing after her. She had already reached a point where she could not retreat. Under the siege of everyone, she had no choice but to jump into the dark blue sea.

However, the other party did not want to let her off just like that. With the sound of a gunshot, she clearly heard a bullet piercing through flesh. The dark blue seawater was also dyed red by blood, but she did not feel any pain.

Actually, Qiao Xi had this dream a long time ago. At that time, she did not care and thought that she was only dreaming of being chased after because she was too tired. It was only when she dreamed of Mo Yuan from ten years ago that she realized that something was wrong.

She had really lost a part of her memory, and it was a very important matter.

Immediately after, Qiao Xi fell into another dream in a daze. She saw her 15-year-old self with a gentle and elegant man standing beside her. It was Kang Jichuan. He lowered his eyes to look at her gently. “Xi Xi, have you been well all these years?”

In her dream, she raised her fair face and smiled sweetly. “I’ve been doing very well! Grandpa and Brother treat me very well.”

Actually, Qiao Xi’s childhood was not good. Her days in the Qiao family were abysmal. She was abused by Xu Mei, bullied by Qiao Rou, and was humiliated constantly. If someone else had asked her this question, she might not want to answer. However, she smiled and replied, ‘Very well.’ This meant that she cared a lot about the man in front of her and did not want him to worry.
