Thinking about the Gu family's circumstances back then, Qiao Yuying's heart ached!
Even though everyone in the family doted on her daughter, she must have suffered a lot while growing up in that environment.
Gu Qingyao added, "I got engaged to him at sixteen. Brother Beihan has always been waiting for me to reach the legal age! In the end, when I turned eighteen, I suddenly received a letter from Teacher saying there's a chance for me to go abroad and told me to treasure this opportunity. We were very surprised by this news back then, but Brother Beihan was the first person to support me in going abroad. We were already preparing for our wedding then."
Qiao Yuying was stunned. "Him? Why?"
"So that I can have a better future! He knows the environment here is relatively more comfortable, and more so, I have the opportunity to attend school here but not in my hometown! It's only a few years. He said he could wait for me.
