The Xu family went bankrupt, and Xu Yao was heavily indebted. Everyone said that her rich fiancé Shen Yan was Xu Yao's last straw.
Three years later, Xu Yao, however, proactively propose...
201: Gu Jun is my brother
It is said that the kidnapped Jason is currently staying with Gu Jun.
Ding Dong~
The doorbell of the villa rang, Gu Jun opened the door, and Xu Yao stood at the door looking around like a thief, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Where's Jason?"
Xu Yao felt nervous about doing something bad.
Gu Jun pointed upstairs. "He's painting in his room. We used to get along like this when we met before. He doesn't talk much and doesn't have any special requirements for food or clothes. He spends most of his time painting upstairs."
Being alone makes Jason feel relaxed. This is the conclusion Gu Jun came to after observing for several days.
Xu Yao glanced upstairs for a few seconds and sat down on the sofa with Gu Jun.
Although Gu Jun had rented this townhouse a few days ago, this was Xu Yao's first time here. The house was not much smaller than Xu Yao's previous home, and the decoration was also high-end. It was obvious that Fu Hong had a very good life before she immigrated.
Xu Yao thought of the neighbors' speculation about Fu Hong and asked Gu Jun in a low voice, "Have you found out who is supporting Fu Hong?"
Gu Jun shook his head. "He was very cautious and never appeared in the same frame with Fu Hong. He didn't usually stay overnight here. After so many years, the neighbors have a vague impression of him."
In fact, Gu Jun was hesitant at the time because he was hesitating whether to use the contract signed by Jason and Jiang Zhiyan to lure out the man behind Fu Hong.
Xu Yao felt that Jason, who was also a victim, should not be hurt. Gu Jun struggled for a long time and decided to give up this plan.
Even without Jason as bait, the other party would surface sooner or later, it would just take longer.
Thinking about Fu Hong's decision to expose the situation without hesitation, Gu Jun was even more certain that Fu Hong was treating Jason purely as a tool. How could a mother who truly loved her son take the initiative to tell him about his illness? Fu Hong didn't care at all about how Jason would be hurt!
How can a woman like this be qualified to be a mother?
Xu Yao sensed Gu Jun's low mood and quickly changed the subject: "Don't you find it strange that Fu Hong, who has been an immigrant for several years, was able to contact two platforms that compete with Huahu so quickly? Her operation is too precise! Does this method of manipulating public opinion look familiar to you? I even suspect that someone is helping her."
But who cares about the contract dispute between Jiang Zhiyan and a young painter?
Jason still doesn't think there is anything wrong with the contract he signed, and he will not seek help from the outside world.
It was Fu Hong who felt that there was something wrong with the contract signed by Jason.
Fu Hong launched a precise and quick counterattack.
Who is helping Fu Hong?
Gu Jun knew Xu Yao was smart, but he didn't know she was so perceptive.
This incident had nothing to do with Jiang Zhiyan, but rather that Gu Jun and Fu Hong's blood relationship had been exposed to some people in South City. After Jiang Zhiyan borrowed the house from Shen Zhongjun, Shen Zhongjun must have known about it. Could Shen Zhongjun be supporting Fu Hong behind the scenes? Gu Jun didn't think so. Shen Zhongjun had been trying to ease the tension with Hua Hu since last year. If Shen Zhongjun offered help to Fu Hong at this time, the relationship between the Nancheng Shen family and Hua Hu would collapse completely.
If Shen Zhongjun wanted to continue to show goodwill, he would definitely pretend not to know about this matter and would not interfere in Gu Jun's family affairs.
Excluding the Shen family, the only one left is Old Lady Jiang.
Old Mrs. Jiang is used to being strong. She wanted to bring Jiang Mingjia and Gu Jun together before, so it's not surprising that she is now interfering in Gu Jun's family affairs.
"Maybe it's Mrs. Jiang."
Gu Jun omitted the process of inference and analysis and directly told Xu Yao the result.
Xu Yao was surprised. "Mrs. Jiang? What does this have to do with her? Even if she wants to meddle in other people's business, she should help Mr. Jiang. Why would she help Fu Hong?!"
That old lady, could it be that she is getting senile? There must be a limit to how much she can bend her arms!
"Fu Hong's control over Jason is obvious, while Mrs. Jiang's control over Mr. Jiang is covert. The two of them should have a lot in common when they get together."
Xu Yao couldn't understand Gu Jun's words: "If Mr. Jiang knew about what Mrs. Jiang did, wouldn't the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren become even more distant?"
Gu Jun forced a smile: "I'm just guessing."
Even if Jiang Zhiyan found out, Old Lady Jiang would find a suitable excuse to cover it up.
Gu Jun's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and clicked on the hands-free mode.
"Is that Gu Jun? Where did you take Fu Linsen? The hotel surveillance camera captured Fu Linsen getting into your car, and also captured you in the car at the time. Fu Linsen's mother has already reported the case to the police. Did you know that Fu Linsen is a patient?"
The police found in the system that the Mercedes-Benz was registered under Gu Jun's name.
With the car owner's information and comparing it with the photos, it is easy to identify Gu Jun.
The police officer in charge of the case thought that Gu Jun looked similar to Jason, but Fu Hong insisted that she did not know Gu Jun and said that taking Gu Jun away from Jason was a kidnapping.
When questioned by the police, Gu Jun did not deny: "I am with Fu Linsen now. I didn't know he was a patient. He told me he was in a bad mood, so I drove to pick him up."
The police's voice was very serious. He asked Gu Jun to provide his location immediately and let Fu Linsen himself answer the phone.
There was a noise upstairs.
Gu Jun and Xu Yao looked up together.
It turned out that the police's inquiry call to Gu Jun had alarmed Jason who was painting.
Jason seemed a little confused as to why Xu Yao appeared in the house.
He recognized Xu Yao.
But now is obviously not a good time to reminisce with Xu Yao.
Jason went downstairs and walked to Gu Jun, who handed him the phone.
"Hello? Gu Jun, can you hear me? Please report your location immediately and have Fu Linsen answer the phone! Fu Linsen's mother has already called the police. The nature of this matter will be determined based on your behavior. Fu Linsen is an incapable patient—"
The police said a lot of things.
Gu Jun made a "please" gesture to Jason, "Whether you want to go back or not, it's your choice."
"I'm not going back."
Jason's speech was awkward, but his meaning was clear: "I am an adult with legal capacity. I can sign contracts with others independently, and I can choose who I want to live with."
Jason said this to the police as well as to himself.
Xu Yao was quite surprised.
This was Xu Yao's third time meeting Jason. Jason's mental state was at its worst at the Finnish port. The last time they met at the event, he was in better shape. Now, on their third meeting, Jason was already communicating normally. How did Gu Jun do that? It was incredible!
Jason's subsequent performance surprised Xu Yao even more.
He actually told the police about his conflict with Fu Hong.
He just wanted to give one of his paintings away, but Fu Hong posted a video online saying that he was sick and that the contract he signed was invalid.
Jason didn't originally watch short video platforms, but Fu Hong wanted to teach him a lesson and face reality, so she deliberately showed him the accusatory video.
A person's collapse often happens in an instant. Fu Hong denied the contract that Jason had signed himself, and she told the world with great fanfare that Jason was a patient... The accusation video became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Jason, and the string that had been tense in his mind for many years was completely broken!
Jason's mind was full of escaping from Fu Hong.
This is a person's most instinctive self-rescue behavior.
If he didn't escape, he would go completely crazy and die.
Jason called Gu Jun. Gu Jun was the only life-saving straw he could think of. Then he didn't wait long before Gu Jun came to pick him up.
The police advised Jason to go back to the hotel and explain the misunderstanding to Fu Hong. If Jason did not go back, Fu Hong would insist that this was a kidnapping, which would not be good for Gu Jun.
Jason thought it was ridiculous: "Gu Jun is my brother, he won't kidnap me."
