”A man's promise is a lifetime.”
Gao Jianfeng nodded his head with certainty. It would be hard to find someone who was willing to take care of him for the rest of his life. Little Qiao should be moved.
”My parents said before that they would take care of me for the rest of my life, but then they both left, and my grandfather also said that he would take care of me until I grew up and got married. But in the end, they both left.”
Little Qiao's voice was choked with sobs. Gao Jianfeng's words had hit the sore spot in her heart.
To her, the promise was exactly that unbearable.
”That's not the same, little girl. The past is already in the past. I was the one who caused your grandfather's death, so I helped him fulfill his promise. Don't cry, you're not alone, you and I are alone. In the future, you will have your own children, and many more relatives. ”
Gao Jianfeng embraced Little Qiao in his arms, he was not good at comforting others.
”Will there be? Even if there are, they will still leave me one by one in the end. ”
Little Qiao shook her head and buried her head in Gao Jianfeng's chest, she didn't want to think too much about it.
She was afraid, afraid of the fickleness of the world, afraid of the fragility of life. This was also the reason why she could not kill Gao Jianfeng.
Only she knew how precious life was.
”Are we still going to Paris?”
Gao Jianfeng could feel Little Qiao trembling, as well as the grief in his heart. Regardless of whether he knew Little Qiao only had his grandfather's family, he still had to carry out that mission.
A man is a promise, and although he has no right to do that, society is the law of the jungle.
”Go, ever since my grandfather was buried, I've never returned. I should go back and visit my grandfather and uncles.”
Joe wiped his eyes.
Though her uncles didn't like her, she should go and see them.
”Well, let's go on to Paris and stop crying. If your parents, your grandfather, and your grandmother see you crying, they won't be happy even in heaven.”
Gao Jianfeng softly comforted her.
The little girl looked strong on the outside, but she was actually very weak. She had to have someone support the sky so that it wouldn't collapse.
”I know. I won't cry. I will be strong. I promised my parents that I will live well. I will.”
The journey from New York to Paris was swift. In four hours, they arrived at the Paris airport.
As soon as he got off the plane, Joe had a sense of timidity that was completely different from the way he had felt when he had first arrived in Paris.
As soon as they left the airport, they were surrounded by a group of men in black suits.
”Miss, Mr. Wright sent me to pick you up.”
The moment the black clothed man opened his mouth, Little Qiao knew who these people were. However, she didn't quite understand.
In a moment, they were surrounded, and they were not in the same group, she was even more puzzled. Although she was of the Wright family, because her father was Chinese, his uncles had never taken a liking to her.
”Cousin, Daddy asked me to come and take you back. Where have you been this past year? We couldn't find you. ”
Even though they were surrounded, there were still people coming in, and there were more than one of them.
Looking at these unfamiliar cousins, cousins, cousins, and little Joe, he was even more puzzled. Since when did she become so popular?
In the past, only my grandfather in the Wright Family could enjoy such treatment. What's going on today?
Could it be that after not seeing her for a year, they had suddenly thought of her as a 'relative'?
”Little girl, do you know them?”
Gao Jianfeng's eyes swept across the three layers of people, his instincts telling him that these people harboured malicious intentions, and that little Qiao could not follow them.
”They are my family, these should be my cousins, cousins, cousins, those should be their bodyguards.”
Little Joe looked at the separated bodyguards. Although he knew they were relatives, he couldn't tell who was who and who was who.
”Cousin, I'm Cousin Ember. I knew you were coming back. My mom told me to come and pick you up.”
”Cousin, don't listen to your cousin. There are so many people in their family, so it's inconvenient to live here. You should go over to my place.”
Seeing them argue, hearing their cousin and cousin call out, little Qiao's head felt like it was about to explode. She had never enjoyed this kind of treatment before, and today, she could not bear it either.
”My relatives, I know you care about my wife, but I'm sorry, she's been away from Paris for too long, so we appreciate your kindness, but we won't go there. We've already booked a hotel, so please go back.”
At this time, Gao Jianfeng finally had a place to use his martial arts.
Gao Jianfeng brought Little Qiao to the hotel, and the two of them were wondering why so many relatives came all of a sudden.
”Little girl, did your grandfather leave you any inheritance when he left?”
Gao Jianfeng pondered over and over again, thinking that this matter was still related to her grandfather.
”Yes, but it's all cash. Nothing else.”
Xiao Qiao nodded, but looked at Gao Jianfeng in puzzlement. That amount of money was nothing to his uncle, their annual allowance did not stop at this amount.
”No, there must be something else. Think about it carefully, is there something else?”
Gao Jianfeng shook his head, if it was only cash, then it would not be so exaggerated. Moreover, they only found the little Qiao's explanation now and did not know it from the beginning. They must have found something after Joe left Paris.
