Chapter 628: Young Uncle and His Family
“Alright, alright, Qingmo. Your sister is injured, and instead of comforting her, you’re scolding her. How badly it must have hurt when she got injured?”
Qin Wange stopped Gu Qingmo. She gazed at Gu Qingjiu’s wrist with a look of heartache. “Qingjiu, why didn’t you call to tell us you were injured?”
Seeing the concern in Qin Wange’s eyes, a surge of warmth flashed across Gu Qingjiu’s heart.
“It’s just a minor injury, and you guys were going to come back then. How could I have told you? In any case, I would also come back soon. I’m really alright. You guys don’t have to worry.”
Although she put it that way, Gu Qingmo continued glaring at Gu Qingjiu.
There was both anger, amusement, and heartache in his eyes.
Since even her older brother was reacting this way, she expected to get scolded when Qi Yuefeng saw her later, followed by words of concern.
They chatted for a while, and she learned that Qi Yuefeng and the rest were shopping upstairs.
The duo had come down to pick Gu Qingjiu up.
As they headed upstairs, Gu Qingjiu felt uneasy.
She was confident she would get a scolding later…
Indeed, when the group saw Gu Qingjiu and her arm in a cast, Qi Yuefeng and Gu Hong’s countenances instantly turned pale as they stood in the center.
Qi Yuefeng jogged over immediately. If it wasn’t because there were many people around, she might just burst into tears out of anxiousness.
“What’s wrong with your arm? What happened?”
With a forehead full of sweat, Gu Qingjiu recited the reason once more.
She noticed that there were quite a lot of relatives behind who had their jaws hanging open.
That was because her Great Aunt and her family were here as well. It seemed like only Yao Yanshen wasn’t present.
Other than that, there was a middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to Gu Hong, except that he was slightly fatter.
He had seemed to gain that extra weight during his middle age.
Next to them, a tall, well-built, and beautiful Caucasian woman stood, as well as two incredibly gorgeous mixed-blood children.
However, there was also an exquisitely dressed Chinese girl.
She was dressed in a sexy spaghetti-strap top and short shorts, with light make-up on. Her facial features weren’t particularly pretty, and she seemed to be sixteen or seventeen.
Gu Qingjiu hadn’t seen this person before, so she cast extra glances at her.
And then, she felt a hint of hostility suddenly surface in this girl’s eyes.
Baffled, Gu Qingjiu furrowed her brows slightly.
When her Great Aunt’s daughter Gu Xiaoxi saw Gu Qingjiu, she froze for a moment. And when she noticed that Gu Qingjiu had gotten injured, she instantly ran over with reddened eyes and hugged Gu Qingjiu’s arm. In a muffled tone, she asked, “Sister Qingjiu, how did you get injured?”
With her mother and Gu Xiaoxi, spinning in circles around Gu Qingjiu, she was caught between laughter and tears.
She recounted the incident again. After Qi Yuefeng had calmed down, she introduced Gu Qingjiu to her Young Uncle’s family.
Young Uncle Gu He’s smile was amicable. Although he was kind of fat, he had the elegant disposition of a university professor.
His wife was an American, the classic blonde with blue eyes.
Her name was Judith Calder.
She was as tall as Gu He.
The two kids behind them were their mixed-blood twins, a pair of boys.
Joseph Calder and Billy Calder.
As for that Chinese girl dressed in an American style, she was a child her Young Uncle and Aunt Judith picked up.
Ella Calder.
They never mentioned her back then. Now that she had grown, they had brought her over to meet their relatives.
