274: That is Gu Haishan’s repayment

Lin Meixian said she didn't know about this.

Xu Yao didn’t know either.

It was obviously strange that Xu Qinghua donated money to Gu Jun without telling his wife and daughter.

But Teacher Li is not the kind of person who would lie. If he said that it was Xu Qinghua who donated money to Gu Jun, it must be Xu Qinghua.

Lin Meixian was eager to know the details, and Teacher Li also fell into memories:

"That year, Gu Jun's grandfather fell seriously ill. Gu Jun tried everything he could to raise the medical expenses, but he still couldn't afford them. The teachers in his grade group and the school leaders donated some money to cover the surgery costs, but the subsequent treatment costs were still a long way off. Just when Principal Tao asked me to discuss seeking corporate sponsorship, Mr. Xu Qinghua suddenly came to the school and said he would cover the remaining expenses. This donation was free of charge. Mr. Xu Qinghua's only request was that he not reveal his identity as the donor. Seeing that I agreed, Mr. Xu Qinghua went outside the school to collect the money. He must have had something urgent at the time, so he asked Wen Yiyi to bring me the envelope containing the money. I said that the handover of the money required a signature for record keeping, and he said that Wen Yiyi could sign on my behalf. This is the complete story of the donation incident."

Teacher Li's words gave Lin Meixian a vague memory. "I remember there was this incident. Yaoyao came home and told us that a classmate's family member was seriously ill and might have to drop out of school. The teachers were very sorry and were trying to help her raise money. She even came home and asked if we could help that classmate. Her father and I said it was no problem. Later, Yaoyao went to school to ask that classmate how much money was needed for the family's medical treatment. Teacher Li, you told her that someone had already donated... and it turned out that the donor was Yaoyao's father?"

Lin Meixian was puzzled. Xu Qinghua secretly donated the money and didn't tell Xu Yao, but why didn't he even tell her?

Xu Yao was also shocked.

The person who does good deeds without leaving his name, is actually her father?

Gu Jun would focus on the key points, "How many people knew about Mr. Xu's donation?"

Teacher Li counted them one by one: "He knows it, I know it, Wen Yiyi knows half of it, and even Principal Tao doesn't know."

Wen Yiyi was just helping Xu Qinghua deliver the money, and she didn't know who the money was going to be donated to.

Gu Jun glanced at Xu Yao and asked, "Where's my grandfather? Do you know?"

Teacher Li hesitated. "I'm not sure either. After your grandfather had the surgery, Mr. Xu visited him in the hospital. After confirming that he was out of danger, Mr. Xu left. The two of them never spoke. Mr. Xu was standing outside the ward and asking the doctor."

Gu Jun and Xu Yao were both shocked.

The same thought came to the two of them: The old man must know!

That's why Gu Haishan went to the subway station to "accidentally meet" Xu Yao.

There aren't so many coincidences in this world. All so-called coincidences are carefully planned. Knowing that his time was running out, Gu Haishan dragged his sickly body to find his benefactor's daughter and asked Xu Yao what kind of "repayment" she needed.

What Gu Haishan wanted to repay was not Xu Yao for helping him sit down, but Xu Qingshan’s donation ten years ago.

That money saved Gu Haishan's life, allowed him to live ten more years, and gave Gu Jun ten more years of companionship.

It was also that money that saved Gu Jun from dropping out of high school.

Gu Haishan asked Xu Yao if there was any problem that she couldn't solve. Xu Yao said she needed a marriage partner, so Gu Haishan let Gu Jun marry Xu Yao!

It may be that in a hurry, Gu Haishan did not have time to help Xu Yao investigate other young people of marriageable age, and Gu Haishan trusted his grandson Gu Jun more than strangers; it may also be that Gu Haishan was worried about Gu Jun living alone, and felt that Xu Yao was the daughter of his benefactor, and that his daughter had inherited her father's virtues, and would definitely treat Gu Jun well after marriage... So Gu Haishan asked Gu Jun to marry Xu Yao.

There were a lot of people in the office, but only Gu Jun and Xu Yao knew the truth about their "flash marriage". All the things that they couldn't understand at the time were now clear to them.

Gu Jun felt like a huge stone was pressing on his heart, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

Grandpa had asked him to marry Xu Yao, believing he would live a good life with her after marriage, since his parents lacked a sense of family responsibility and he would learn from their lessons and manage his marriage well. He failed to live up to Grandpa's expectations. He started his marriage with lies and told more lies after marriage, ultimately causing Xu Yao to become disappointed in him.

Xu Yao's mind was also in a mess.

Gu Haishan asked Gu Jun to marry her because he wanted Gu Jun to take care of her, right?

The old man had good intentions, and his last words before his death were for her and Gu Jun to live a good life, but she and Gu Jun divorced less than a year after their marriage.

Suddenly I thought of Xu Qinghua.

Xu Qinghua left Xu Yao with debts, but also left her with some benefits.

Wang Kui, Yu Qin, Gu Haishan... these people were so nice to Xu Yao because of Xu Qinghua's face.

The office fell silent.

Gu Jun had mixed feelings, a mixture of nostalgia, regret, and gratitude towards Xu Qinghua - no matter what kind of person Xu Qinghua became later, more than ten years ago, Xu Qinghua was indeed a good person.

Xu Yao and Lin Meixian both miss Xu Qinghua.

Jason sat in the corner with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

Wen Zhicheng's expression changed several times.

The person who donated to Gu Jun was actually Xu Qinghua?

Xu Qinghua has been dead for four years, but he still pops up to show his presence. Wen Zhicheng doesn't know what to say!

Wen Zhicheng glared at Wen Yiyi. Not only did she deceive outsiders, but she even deceived her own father. This would put him in a passive position.

But there is no way, the daughter is his own, and Wen Zhicheng has to help clean up the mess.

"Teacher Li, the dead can't speak, but the living can lie. Are you saying that my daughter lied, that it was my daughter who stole the credit for Xu Yao's father's work? You are an educator, you have been teaching and educating people your whole life. You must know the meaning of what you said today, right? I heard Yiyi say several times that you favored Xu Yao in high school, and Gu Jun was also your favorite student. The two students you liked together were simply a match made in heaven. Seeing them divorced, are you more heartbroken than anyone else? But you can't blame Xu Yao's father for the donation just because you are sad about the separation of two good students. I believe my daughter would not lie."

Wen Zhicheng's tone was sonorous and powerful.

At this moment, Wen Zhicheng is a fighter and he must stand up to protect Wen Yiyi.

Wen Zhicheng had no time to consider Lin Meixian's thoughts. Lin Meixian had Xu Yao, but he only had Yiyi, who was his biological daughter. Yiyi couldn't bear the consequences of deceiving Gu Jun!

Wen Zhicheng's protection gave Wen Yiyi confidence.

"Teacher Li, I was the one who gave you the money and signed the document. Can this be attributed to Uncle Xu? Uncle Xu is gone, and Grandpa Gu is gone too. Teacher Li, you're the only one who knows the truth. Say whatever you want."

Wen Yiyi's cheeks flushed with anger. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "Whatever, just pretend I haven't done anything good. Anyway, no one would believe someone like me if I said I wanted to do good things. Being a good person and doing good things are just privileges for top students to gain reputation!"
