The pretty educated youth became the favorite of the soldier king

Chapter 155 She Wants to Continue Her Mother's Unfinished Dream

Although Gu Xiaoqi's eyes lit up when she saw the villa, she knew that many people felt that they needed to have their own house when they get older, otherwise they would not have a sense of belonging.

Although Xu Jinan is rich and has more than one house, she also hopes that her grandfather can keep it for himself.

When Xu Jinan heard that Gu Xiaoqi was so ambitious, he couldn't help but smile and feel proud.

"It won't all be yours sooner or later! But it's good that you have this confidence and attitude!"

Xu Jinan took out the key and opened the big iron gate. After entering, it was like entering a garden, with white roses growing freely in an endless stream.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the entrance of the villa and Xu Jinan opened the door.

Unlike the Western European style outside, the layout inside is Chinese style.

The furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust, and it was obvious that they hadn't been home for a long time.

"I haven't been home for a long time either. Come upstairs with me! Go straight to your mother's room!"

Lu Jingze said quickly: "Uncle Xu, Xiaoqi, I'll stay downstairs for a while, you guys go ahead!"

Thinking that it was Xu Zhiyin's boudoir, it was still inconvenient for Lu Jingze to go there, so he found an excuse to stay downstairs.

Of course Xu Jinan knew what Lu Jingze meant, and nodded secretly in his heart. He was a man who knew how to handle things.

Afterwards, Xu Jinan took Gu Xiaoqi upstairs. The first bedroom on the second floor was Xu Zhiyin's. Xu Jinan pushed open the door.

What comes into view is a simple and elegant room dominated by soft white.

The items in the entire room were covered with a transparent plastic sheet: a large bed, a large wardrobe, and a desk covered with books and drawing papers.

The floor is covered with a carpet that combines dark grey and light grey and white.

The room has a large balcony. There is a chair and a small round table near the balcony, with several easels scattered around.

On one of the easels, there was a painting of an evening gown.

This is a plain evening dress with a hollow design on the back. The color gradually turns into light gold towards the hem. The long skirt drags on the ground, giving the illusion of sparkling spots.

Even though Gu Xiaoqi had seen red carpet photos of various celebrities in later life, he couldn't help but be amazed by the evening dress in front of him.

It is cool and elegant, unobtrusive but blooming, with a unique style that is stunning and luxurious.

It was not easy to design such an evening dress at that time. Her mother was indeed a talented woman.

"Xiao Qi, your mother's works, apart from the few on the easel, the album on the table, and some related books, the rest are in this box!"

Xu Jinan came out carrying a box.

Gu Xiaoqi took the drawing paper off the easel, collected it carefully, and put away the picture albums and books on the desk.

Then Gu Xiaoqi looked at Xu Jinan and said, "Grandpa, can I open this closet and take a look?"

"Of course you can! There are your mother's clothes in there. Grandpa has never touched them. They are kept the same as when she left! Take a look for yourself. Grandpa will go downstairs first!"

Xu Jinan was afraid that seeing the things would remind him of the past, so he hurried downstairs.

Xu Zhiyin left in a hurry after a big quarrel and took nothing with him. The bedroom still retains its original appearance.

After Xu Jinan left, Gu Xiaoqi opened the closet, which was filled with mostly plain, warm-colored clothes and a variety of unique small accessories. It was obvious that her mother was a gentle and graceful yet lively woman.

Gu Xiaoqi really wanted to understand her mother. She looked through the clothes in her closet. The clothes inside were all classic styles that would not look outdated even if worn in later generations.

After closing the cabinet door, Gu Xiaoqi sat in front of the easel, stroking the edges of the easel. The edges were all covered with traces of dried paint. Gu Xiaoqi seemed to be able to feel his mother's mood at that time when he touched it.

Looking at every corner of the room, which were all traces of Xu Zhiyin's life here, Gu Xiaoqi couldn't help feeling sad.

"Xu Zhiyin...Mom...I miss you so much~"

Gu Xiaoqi shed tears for a while in Xu Zhiyin's room, then she cheered up, opened the door and walked downstairs.

When we got downstairs, Xu Jinan was talking to Lu Jingze, and Lu Jingze was nodding seriously.

"Grandpa, Jingze, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing much, just small talk. Xiaoqi, this is from grandpa, take it!"

Xu Jinan handed two brocade boxes to Gu Xiaoqi. One contained a set of pure gold phoenix crowns, and the other contained eight pairs of gold bracelets.

"Grandpa, this is too precious!"

Gu Xiaoqi was almost blinded by the brilliance. Even if you are rich and powerful, you should know your limits!

How many kilograms of gold does this require? Wouldn’t it be heavy on your head if you wear it on your head?

"This was originally a dowry for Zhiyin. Now that she's gone, Grandpa is giving it to you! As your dowry! Keep it well. You've suffered a lot out there over the years. From now on, Grandpa won't let you suffer even the slightest bit of injustice!"

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoqi did not refuse. With her grandfather's personality, if she didn't accept it, he would force it to her when they got married!

Gu Xiaoqi was so moved that she choked up and replied, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Seeing Gu Xiaoqi accept it, Xu Jinan felt much better.

"Hurry up, it's already two o'clock. It will take you until midnight to get to your place in the countryside!"

Xu Jinan was worried that it would be unsafe if it was too late. Although Lu Jingze was escorting her, Xu Jinan was still worried about his granddaughter.

He had to go back to the hospital, so Lu Jingze sent Xu Jinan back to the hospital, and the two drove to Qingshan Village. There were already a lot of things piled up in the car, and even the back seat was full.

Gu Xiaoqi sat in the passenger seat. She did not take out Xu Zhiyin's things immediately, but instead looked at the scenery outside while thinking.

She already had an idea in her mind. She wanted to learn fashion design. Although she had never studied it systematically and she was not even good at simple needlework, she believed that she had Xu Zhiyin's genes.

Moreover, when she was little, she really liked making clothes for dolls. If Jiang Mei had not humiliated her and cut up her dolls and doll clothes, perhaps she could have taught herself to become a tailor.

Anyway, she has a lot of time to study in this life. She also has the vision of the future, as well as Xu Zhiyin's secrets and inheritance. Most importantly, she wants to continue her mother's unfinished dream.

Gu Xiaoqi made up his mind to study hard, take the college entrance examination, and major in fashion design.

When Gu Xiaoqi thought about the answer to her long-standing troubles, she couldn't help but smile, her eyebrows curved, and she looked very happy.

"Xiao Qi, what happy things did you think of?"

Lu Jingze asked while driving.

"Jingze, I...uh...I just thought about what I want to do in the future!"
