Dear Commander-in-Chief

The woman in the Bai family's courtyard looked like Gu Qiqi's mother, Qin Wei.

The back view, the long hair—they really did look alike.

However, Qin Wei died more than ten years ago. She had jumped off the cliff.

How could he still be alive?

Gu Qiqi naturally knew that it was impossible.

However, the woman's charm was similar to Qin Wei's, causing her heart to be struck by old feelings.

She was already about to become a stepmother, but she was still a child in front of her mother and needed her warmth.

She really wanted to look at that woman and feel that distant warmth in her memory.

She only wished that she had not been reborn more than ten years earlier. Otherwise, she could have been reunited with her mother!

Gu Qiqi couldn't help but place Bai Lang by the door. She took a step forward and grabbed the brass railing of the Bai family's door. She held her breath and looked inside.

Yet.

The woman in the fluttering white dress disappeared like a phantom in the blink of an eye.

Gu Qiqi leaned against the brass railing and was immediately sensed by the sensors on the railing.

Inside, a siren wailed.

A servant from the Bai family ran over and saw Bai Lang lying by the door. She quickly ran out and carried Bai Lang in.

Gu Qiqi grabbed the servant of the Bai family and asked, "Who was that woman in your courtyard just now? What was her name?"

The servant of the Bai family was confused and instantly became more vigilant. "Which woman? Why don't I see her? Who are you? Are you a friend of our Second Young Master?"

Seeing how handsome this young man was, could it be that he was actually a pervert who wanted to seduce the few young ladies in our Bai family?

Gu Qiqi said in a low voice, "Yes, I just came back from drinking with your Second Master. If he can get drunk with me, you know how our relationship is!"

Only then did the servant become more respectful to her. "Young Master, can you describe the woman's appearance? I'll help you find…"

Gu Qiqi said, "It's a middle-aged woman in her forties…"

Before Gu Qiqi could continue, the servant immediately waved her hand. "Our Bai family doesn't have anyone of this age. The ladies in our family are all very young. Miss Bai Yingzhu is in school, and Miss Bai Mori is in her twenties… Well, Miss Bai Qiangwei is a little old, but she's only in her thirties. Miss Bai Shaoyao is in her forties, but she has been married for more than twenty years and lives with the Xiao family in Qing City. She's not in the capital at all. Not to mention our maids. They're either teenage apprentices or old aunties in their fifties. Anyway, there's really no middle-aged woman in our Bai family who's in her forties! Sir, are you seeing things?"

Gu Qiqi was silent.

She wasn't seeing things, but she knew perfectly well that her mother was in her early forties today.

If the Bai family did not have a woman of this age, then the back view just now was not Qin Wei.

But why had she caught a glimpse of her and found her particularly similar?

Could it be that she subconsciously missed her mother too much, so she was hallucinating?

But she had never had such hallucinations before.

Perhaps it was because she had been thinking about Xiaobei's condition and medicine recently and was too anxious to find the other half of the Medicine Manual and had nowhere to start, so she wanted her mother's embrace to rely on?

Gu Qiqi sighed. "Thank you. Sorry for disturbing you. Goodbye!"

However, the servant stopped her. "Young Master, please wait! You haven't said your surname yet. If our Second Young Master wakes up, what should I tell him? Who sent him back?"

Gu Qiqi smiled faintly. "Just let him watch the news."
