Chapter 241 Your son is a scoundrel

News of Gu Zhenjun waking up spread quickly, and while onlookers sighed with admiration, they also remarked on Gu Zhenjun's good fortune.

Years ago, before Gu Zhenjun's incident, Gu Jinhong severely suppressed his illegitimate son for the sake of his son. Everyone in the industry saw it and knew that Gu Jinhong only agreed to use his illegitimate son to give birth to his grandson after Gu Zhenjun's incident.

Now that Gu Zhenjun has woken up, it's unclear how Gu Jinhong will arrange things for his eldest grandson, Gu Jingdong.

When Tang Xiang learned that Gu Zhenjun had woken up, she sat on the sofa in a daze, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

Gu Zhenhao remained calm, knowing that regardless of whether his older brother woke up or not, the Gu family would never be his son's.

His father had given him nothing but raising him, but when it came time to divide the inheritance, he remembered to give his son a share, and that was enough.

"It's gone," Tang Xiang murmured. "Everything is gone."

Gu Jinhong gave the Gu family business to Gu Zhenjun, and Gu Zhenjun actually woke up.

They were a family of three... but now they can't even be called a family of three anymore, they're almost a family of five.

Tang Xiang smiled, but the smile was more unsightly than a cry.

They are all Gu Jinhong's sons, but because they have different mothers, they are treated very differently.

Gu Zhenjun is favored by Gu Jinhong, married the only daughter of the Huo family, and has the help of his father and wife's family in his career. His son is also smart and capable, surpassing his wife Jingdong in every way. His son has also found a wife from a superior family, and now he will soon have two more impressive in-laws.

The Gu family, Huo family, Lu family, and Xie family were now all connected, leaving only the Tang family all alone.

That's not right either. The Tang family isn't her Tang family anymore. She got married, and after her father died, that family ceased to exist.

Tang Xiang smiled and then tears fell down her cheeks.

"What are you crying for?" Gu Zhenhao glanced at her impatiently. "Instead of crying here, you should go pack your things. The old man hasn't had time to talk to you these past two days because of Gu Zhenjun waking up, but that doesn't mean he's forgotten. Be sensible, so you don't end up making a scene."

Gu Zhenhao's biggest worry right now is that his eldest son will take the blame for his mother. He just wants Tang Xiang to turn herself in as soon as possible.

His Jingdong still has a bright future ahead of him, and he can't let Tang Xiang ruin it.

Tang Xiang suddenly screamed and grabbed a pillow, throwing it at Gu Zhenhao.

Gu Zhenhao wasn't about to just stand there and let her hit him.

The couple soon started fighting in the living room.

Compared to the second Gu family, the third Gu family was truly at peace.

Unlike his older brother Gu Zhenhao, who shares the same parents, Gu Zhen was an honest man content with the status quo. His wife, Guo Rou, came from a humble background, and his son had no interest in business. None of the family had ever dreamed of anything related to the Gu family. Whether his older brother Gu Zhenjun woke up or not made no difference to him; he would at most exchange a few words about it.

Gu Weiwei offered a word of advice: "Although Uncle doesn't like us, Dad, as his younger brother, you should at least show some appreciation. Grandpa is getting old, but my brother is still young. If he ever needs anything in the future, we can ask Uncle for help."

So, at his daughter's urging, Gu Zhen took his wife and children to the hospital to visit his older brother, Gu Zhenjun.

Having narrowly escaped death, Gu Zhenjun's mentality has improved considerably.

Although he still disliked Gu Jinhong's illegitimate son, he didn't kick him out when Gu Zhen brought his wife and children to visit him.

Gu Zhen and Gu Zhenjun weren't born of the same mother and grew up apart, so there was naturally no brotherly bond between them. Gu Zhen gave Gu Zhenjun some dry words about taking good care of his health and then fell silent.

Guo Rou and Huo Yao could exchange a few words. "Now that Big Brother is awake, shouldn't the wedding between Sui Xing and that Miss Lu from the Lu family be arranged?"

Gu Zhenjun's attention was focused on his wife, and he frowned as he looked at her upon hearing this.

Before Huo Yao could even mention the events of the past few years to Gu Zhenjun, she calmly replied under her husband's questioning gaze, "No rush. Niannian is still in mourning. By the time she finishes mourning, the New Year will be almost over, so we can only hold the ceremony next year at the earliest."

Huo Yao didn't mean anything by it, but seeing Guo Rou's somewhat subtle expression, she suddenly remembered that Tang Xingzhou was also in mourning, but the Tang family still decided to hold the engagement banquet. She added, "Don't overthink it. Niannian is different from Tang Xingzhou. Niannian was raised by her maternal grandparents, and their relationship is extraordinary."

Guo Rou's expression softened, and she nodded.

The family said goodbye and left after less than half an hour.

As the hospital room door closed, Gu Zhenjun looked away and asked his wife, "Uncle Lu, he..."

It's been a week since Gu Zhenjun woke up, and his language function is recovering, but he still can't speak fluently. Like Rui Rui, he has to squeeze out a sentence little by little.

“I went,” Huo Yao said, “just before the National Day holiday.”

Gu Zhenjun's eyes dimmed.

If he had woken up earlier, he could have gone to see the old man off.

Huo Yao comforted him, "You'll be discharged in a couple of days, and it'll be the same if you visit the cemetery then."

Gu Zhenjun nodded; that was all he could do.

After a moment of silence, Gu Zhenjun remembered that his son wasn't married yet, and quickly asked again, "Niannian, and, you brat..."

Huo Yao glanced at him. "Not married."

Gu Zhenjun's brows furrowed instantly, a hint of anger showing between his brows.

“Your son is a scoundrel. He got another girl pregnant when he was only eighteen, making me a grandmother in my early forties.”

Huo Yao briefly recounted what had happened over the years.

Finally, Huo Yao sighed, "It's okay for us adults to suffer some grievances, but it's Rui Rui who suffers."

Such a young child, whose father is not his father, and whose mother is right beside him but cannot be recognized. Just thinking about it makes her heart ache.

She was also at fault. Her husband was hidden away by Gu Jinhong while he was in a coma, her son was exiled abroad, and the Lu family was worried about whether they could keep her grandson from Gu Jinhong... She had too many concerns and considerations over the years, so much so that in the end, no one could help her.

Gu Zhenjun remained silent with a gloomy face.

Huo Yao didn't disturb him, giving him time to process it slowly.

While she was washing an apple in the kitchen, she came out to see Gu Zhenjun looking around as if searching for something.

Huo Yao: "What?"

Gu Zhenjun: "Stick, stick..."

After thinking it over, Gu Zhenjun decided to give his son a beating first.
