Chapter 480 A bolt from the blue
"Thank you!" Gu Zhiyao thought for a moment and said, "Are you free later? Would you like to come with me to see Chenchen and Niuniu? They haven't met their grandfather yet."
Zhang Zhihe was taken aback; he had already thought about it. He excitedly replied, "Okay, let's go now!"
"Ok!"
Gu Zhiyao took her father back to his residence.
"Chenchen, Niuniu, come here, this is Grandpa."
"Grandpa? Is that Mommy's dad? How come I've never heard Mommy mention a grandpa before?" Niu Niu spoke first, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Zhang Zhihe, looking incredibly cute.
Looking at the little girl, Zhang Zhihe's heart surged with excitement once again. He wondered if his daughter was the same age as his granddaughter back then. It was a pity that he had never seen his daughter when she was little, missing out on everything about her. He couldn't help but feel regret and guilt.
He then grabbed Niu Niu's hand and choked up, saying, "Because your grandfather and your mother didn't know about each other's existence back then, and they only found out now."
"Oh, I understand. Dad and Mom separated because of some misunderstandings, which is why Dad didn't know I existed. Grandpa, it's okay. Luckily, everyone knows now!" the little girl said sweetly.
Zhang Zhihe's eyes glistened with tears, and then he looked at Chenchen.
Chenchen looks a lot like He Yi, and you can tell their relationship at a glance.
"Hello, Grandpa." Compared to his younger sister's cheerful and excited greeting, Chenchen greeted her with composure.
Zhang Zhihe nodded, "Hello, Chenchen!"
He then turned to Gu Zhiyao and said, "Zhiyao, the children are all growing up very well. Don't worry, Dad will do everything he can to help you get rid of all the crises and let you live happily!"
"Thank you, Dad."
After Chenchen and Niu Niu went off to play, Zhang Zhihe asked Gu Zhiyao, "You and He Yi, are you really not planning to be together anymore? Although Dad doesn't know what you've been through, Dad is sorry. If you had continued to grow up by Dad's side, maybe your life would have been better."
"It's alright, Dad. Everyone goes through a lot of hardships, but fortunately, I've overcome them all. I believe I'm still quite lucky. If you ever travel to Canada for business or have time in the future, you can always come to see us." Gu Zhiyao said casually, without going into details about her and He Yi's situation.
But Zhang Zhihe probably guessed it all.
Originally, He Yi was the most capable person in Yuncheng in every aspect. If he needed protection, he would be more capable than anyone else. But his daughter specifically asked him for help, which shows the relationship between his daughter and He Yi...
While feeling regretful, he didn't say much, only repeatedly promising Gu Zhiyao that he would do his best to help her.
Next, Gu Zhiyao continued to bid farewell to Lin Yu and the others.
Lin Yu's feelings were also very complicated. Looking at Gu Zhiyao, she said softly, "I thought I could persuade you this time, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Yao, I said I would support whatever decision you make. Since you still don't want to forgive him, then follow your heart. I will keep an eye on Zhao Guilan and Wen Ya for you. Be careful over there, but He Yi should still protect you."
“I’ve already spoken to my dad, and he’s promised to do everything he can to help me. I hope we can find evidence of Zhao Guilan and Wen Ya’s crimes as soon as possible. I guess it will be soon. Once I come back and reunite with my dad, Zhao Guilan will definitely be restless.”
"Just be careful in everything you do. Nothing is more important than your life, you know?"
“I understand. Don’t worry, but you should also be careful. Zhao Guilan and Wen Ya are not ordinary people, especially Wen Ya who has now gotten involved with such a big shot. They are even more difficult to deal with. Why don’t you just not provoke them? Anyway, with my dad, Brother Xiao Lin, and… He Yi all helping out, they will definitely take care of them.”
"It's alright, I'll handle it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyao said nothing more.
Two days before she left, she met with Yifei.
When Yifei heard that she was preparing to return to Canada, he remained silent for a long time before saying, "I thought you and your uncle would have a good relationship this time, Zhiyao. Actually, you might as well try to give your uncle a chance, which is also a chance for yourself. I understand that you have some pain in your heart that you can't forget, but people have to look forward and can't always dwell on these painful past events. Only in this way can you truly be happy."
Gu Zhiyao felt his usual gentleness and thoughtfulness, and her heart ached slightly, but she still forced a smile on the surface. "I'm fine, Yifei. I'm just going back to Canada because my job doesn't allow me to be away for too long. I came back this time to reunite with my father and have him help me deal with Zhao Guilan. Now the plan is progressing as scheduled, so I should go back there first. If it's convenient for you or you have time, you can come and see us."
Yifei's eyes were still filled with turbulent thoughts, his lips moved slightly, and he had many things he wanted to say, but in the end he held back.
Gu Zhiyao continued nonchalantly, "When you get a new job, do your best, Yifei. I've always thought you'd be a great official. You'll definitely do a lot of good things for the people. You'll get better and better! I'm waiting to see you shine."
Yifei, still feeling a surge of emotion, nodded and said, "Thank you, Zhiyao."
Gu Zhiyao stared at him intently, then suddenly opened her arms and gave him a hug.
Yifei froze, and then his body began to tremble almost imperceptibly.
Gu Zhiyao also felt it and felt extremely heartbroken.
Yifei, I'm sorry. I hope you can let go of me soon, find your true love, and enjoy the beauty of being loved!
After meeting with Yifei, Gu Zhiyao took the children to the He family's old residence.
When Grandma He heard that she was leaving, she was both surprised and not surprised.
She took Gu Zhiyao's hand and gently stroked it, saying, "That day I encouraged Ayi to continue to move you. It seems that some things really can't be forced. Although Grandma has some regrets, she won't blame you, child. Since this is the choice you want, then follow your heart. But no matter what, you must live happily. That's what Grandma wants to see most."
Gu Zhiyao's eyes immediately filled with tears, and her voice choked with emotion, "I'm sorry, Grandma He."
"Silly girl, don't say that. It's just that A-Yi isn't blessed enough. Perhaps it's his fate to suffer these hardships and pains. But he's still lucky. You've given him two children. No matter what happens to you two in the future, this bond will always remain. Let it be!"
Gu Zhiyao knew exactly what the old lady was thinking, and felt even more guilty. However, she couldn't do as the old lady wished, so she could only try to talk to her as much as possible. Later, Niu Niu joined in, and the sad atmosphere improved a lot.
As for He Yi, he was the last person to know that Gu Zhiyao was going to leave with the child.
He was away on a business trip for the past few days and didn't get off the plane until after 8 p.m. tonight. Then he excitedly headed straight to his place with a big bag of gifts in his arms.
That's when I found out that Gu Zhiyao had booked a flight to Canada for tomorrow morning!
It felt like a bolt from the blue.
Although they had a bad day, he didn't give up. These past few days, besides dealing with his busy official duties, he's been trying to figure out how to break the deadlock between them and how to persuade her.
But she quietly prepared to leave!
