Chapter 187 Illegitimate Daughter

When Tang Xiang, who was sitting on the living room sofa, saw Gu Suixing come in, her face stiffened for a moment before she managed a forced smile. "Suixing's here."

He paused, his expression becoming more natural, and his tone gentle and worried: "Your second uncle and I wanted to visit you in the hospital a while ago, but your grandfather wouldn't let us, saying it would disturb your rest. Now that we see you're alright, your second uncle and I are finally relieved."

Gu Suixing gave a half-smile, "Is that so?"

Meeting those all-seeing eyes, Tang Xiang couldn't continue speaking. She cursed the brat inwardly and gave a dry laugh.

Gu Jingdong called out, "Mom, dinner's ready."

Tang Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

The Tang family has been in complete chaos lately. A few days ago, the old man made his will, and the shares of Tang Corporation did not fall into the hands of her eldest brother and Tang Xingzhou. Tang Xingchen became the winner, which meant that she had lost her backer. Even if she disliked Gu Suixing, she did not dare to show it on her face. She said gently, "Suixing, let's go eat."

Gu Suixing did not respond, as if he had not heard her.

Tang Xiang gritted her teeth inwardly and went ahead first.

Gu Jingdong glanced at Gu Suixing, said nothing, and then went to greet his father.

These days, Gu Jinhong has been extremely busy, not only investigating the car accident, but also dealing with the kidnapping case and various trivial matters at the company.

As people get older, they are not as energetic as when they were young, and Gu Jinhong looked a bit listless.

Seeing Gu Suixing while eating made her even more upset, to the point that she had no appetite at all.

His grandson is very capable, but he's used all his talent on himself.

Don't think he doesn't know that Fang Ning was instructed by this kid to betray him.

Sensing the tense atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson, they remained silent, and the others ate their meals quietly without saying a word.

Tang Xingzhou had no intention of getting involved in the Gu family's affairs. After finishing the meal with Gu Weiwei, he left without waiting for her parents to stop.

Gu Weiwei stomped her feet in anger, "Mom, look at him!"

Guo Rou glanced at her and said, "This is the man you chose yourself."

That young man surnamed Tang was caught cheating and his engagement was called off, and this brat isn't ashamed at all. She threw herself at him and was completely swayed by a few words from Madam Tang. She wouldn't listen to a word her own parents said and insisted on being with Tang Xingzhou. Now that she's suffering, she shouldn't come looking for them.

Meanwhile, Gu Suixing was called into the study by Gu Jinhong. "Grandpa, is something the matter?"

Gu Jinhong shouted sternly, "You still remember that I am your grandfather?!"

Gu Suixing smiled faintly, "Of course I remember, you are my father's father."

Gu Jinhong's chest heaved, clearly furious. "For a woman, you..."

“Grandpa, she is not only a woman, but also the mother of my son.” Gu Suixing interrupted Gu Jinhong calmly. “She did nothing wrong. I was the one who ran into her.”

"So you're saying I was wrong?" Gu Jinhong laughed angrily. "She didn't do anything wrong; she was born wrong!"

The study suddenly fell silent.

A deathly silence spread.

Gu Suixing's gaze sharpened, her eyes fixed on Gu Jinhong. "Where did she go wrong?"

Before Gu Jinhong could speak, Gu Suixing narrowed her eyes and asked clearly, "Is the mistake that she's an illegitimate child?"

Gu Jinhong didn't speak, but his expression spoke volumes.

“Illegitimate daughters should die, but shouldn’t those other girls outside also be deprived of their right to live in this world?” Gu Suixing pointed to the door. “Why should those two illegitimate children born to nightclub dancers be allowed to sit on equal footing with my father in the Gu family? Why should those two illegitimate children and their wives and children be allowed to eat at the same table with me?”

Gu Suixing scoffed, "Just because they are your children and grandchildren? In your eyes, the distinction between noble and lowly illegitimate children lies in whether they are related to you by blood?"

"Shut up!" Gu Jinhong was furious, as if his fig leaf had been ripped off, and glared at Gu Suixing with bloodshot eyes.

Gu Suixing met Gu Jinhong's gaze without flinching. "The ones who deserve to die aren't the illegitimate children who have no choice, but the people who not only betray their marriage but also leave behind bastard children outside."

"Insolence!" Gu Jinhong slammed his hand on the table.

“My mother-in-law is a lady from a prominent family, my father-in-law is a handsome gentleman, and my fiancée is a young lady from a wealthy family. Their backgrounds are impeccable, and they are more than a match for me. My fiancée will eventually marry me, and whether she is an illegitimate child or not is none of your business. You should spend your time dealing with your illegitimate children first.”

Gu Suixing turned his wheelchair around to face Gu Jinhong, his eyes cold. "Kidnapping and human trafficking are illegal acts. You did it yourself. No one forced you, and I never asked you to do it. The law is the one that should punish you. Don't try to pin the blame on me."

He doesn't need this kind of pampering, and he doesn't need anyone to hurt those around him under the guise of loving him.

-

Tang Xiang paced back and forth in the room.

"You think the old man called that kid in for so long because he wanted him to go back to work at the company?"

Gu Zhenhao kept a sullen face and didn't say anything.

Tang Xiang thought about it more and more and felt that this was very likely. "It's probably true. The old man only has his legitimate son and his precious grandson in his eyes and heart. He doesn't care about you two brothers at all. If Jingdong hadn't been born early and was his eldest grandson, I guess he wouldn't even care about Jingdong."

The two illegitimate sons were brought back to the Gu family, but Gu Jinhong hardly cared about them at all. It was only after Gu Jingdong was born that Gu Jinhong began to pay attention to his second son.

But it was only Gu Jingdong, the eldest grandson, who received Gu Jinhong's favor. Gu Zhenhao and Gu Zhengang, the two illegitimate sons, continued as before. Even their youngest son, Jingqiu, was not given a second glance by Gu Jinhong. As for the third son's two sons and daughter, they were even more ignored, living like invisible people in the Gu family.

Gu Zhenhao asked, "Even so, what do you plan to do?"

Tang Xiang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "I don't believe that kid is so lucky every time!"

Her family can't help her anymore; she has to figure things out for her child on her own.

No matter what, we must never let Gu Suixing return to the Gu family!
