Chapter 158 Mom's Old Love

The old house of the Gu family.

Gu Siyan brought Qin Bingwu to meet Gu Changhuai in the study.

Gu Changhuai saw the solemn expressions of the two people and was a little puzzled:

"Ayan, Wuwu, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

Before Qin Bingwu could speak, Gu Siyan said:

"Dad, have you known Aunt Cheng many years ago?"

Gu Changhuai was stunned and looked at his son with some shock in his eyes.

Gu Siyan did not hide it:

"I didn't investigate you, I just guessed."

Gu Changhuai obviously didn't believe it: "Guess?"

Gu Siyan pushed Qin Bingwu to sit on the chair and sat down opposite his father.

"You didn't marry for many years after your mother passed away. In the past ten years or so, you haven't even looked at many young and beautiful women. You are not a person who is greedy for beauty.

If we weren't old acquaintances, it would be impossible to explain why you fell in love at first sight with Aunt Cheng, who had just been released from a mental hospital."

Qin Bingwu also found it a little hard to believe. In her previous life, she was struggling to make ends meet every day and was busy trying to get out of the quagmire. In this life, she was busy with revenge and growth, and she really hadn't thought about the unreasonableness of this.

Gu Changhuai remained silent, as if he didn't want his son to bring up the past, but Gu Siyan didn't want him to escape:

"You left the country right after you got together with Aunt Cheng. You and Aunt Cheng always slept in separate rooms while you were abroad. After you came back, you must have slept in separate beds as well, right?"

Gu Changhuai clenched his hands on the armrests of his chair. After being exposed, his originally relaxed expression became more solemn.

"Yes, I did know your Aunt Cheng a long time ago, but I hope you understand that we sleep in separate beds because her current situation is not suitable, not because I don't want her to become Mrs. Gu."

Qin Bingwu's heart moved. So this was the reason why Gu Siyan brought her to see Mr. Gu first?

But, is it really possible to ask about his wife’s ex in front of her current husband?

Gu Siyan didn't mean to scare Cheng Yuzhi away:

"Father, don't misunderstand me. We came to you because we want to know how much you know about Aunt Cheng's past. This will help Aunt Cheng recover."

Gu Changhuai was somewhat reluctant:

"What's there to say? She's pretty normal now. I don't think there's anything wrong with her."

Qin Bingwu was not surprised by Gu Changhuai's attitude. When his mother was receiving treatment abroad, the doctor must have told Gu Changhuai about her condition. If he wanted his mother to return to normal, he would have said that he had tried it long ago. Since he didn't say it, he might not be willing to tell her now if asked.

"Uncle Gu is afraid that my mother will leave the Gu family and return to her old love after she finds out?"

Gu Changhuai looked up:

"You mean Qin Baichuan? Yuzhi would leave me to find Qin Baichuan? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Gu Changhuai said, waving his hands at the end, very confident and determined:

"Qin Baichuan hurt her like this. She would only go back to the Qin family if she's really crazy."

Qin Bingwu shook her head slightly:

"No, Uncle Gu, don't you know that I'm not Qin Baichuan's biological daughter? It seems that my mother's ex-lover is not Qin Baichuan, but another man who has a close relationship with my mother."

Gu Changhuai's face was shocked, and his eyes became evasive:

"That...that won't happen...Yuzhi won't go looking for that bastard again."

Qin Bingwu's heart skipped a beat.

Uncle Gu really knows.

Gu Siyan asked directly:

"Dad, who is that bastard?"

Gu Changhuai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes shuttled back and forth between the two of them, raised his hand and said angrily:

"You...you two are trying to trick me?"

"You came to me just to find out who Wuwu's biological father is, right? You're dreaming. I won't tell you."

Qin Bingwu pondered the tiny bit of information contained in Uncle Gu's words:

"Why did Uncle Gu stop me from going to find that bastard? Uncle Gu must be afraid that he can't beat that bastard."

This is a method of provoking the opponent, and Qin Bingwu hopes it will be useful.

Gu Changhuai was so excited that he almost stood up, but his son looked at him with a scrutinizing expression, which made him sit down again.

"Don't compare me to that bastard. I have my limits, and he'll do anything to get what he wants."

Qin Bingwu is now very sure that Gu Changhuai knows very well who that person is and that they have had some interactions before. Now the question is how to get Uncle Gu to reveal this person's name.

Judging from Uncle Gu's tone, he seemed to have had a confrontation with that person before.

A thought flashed through Qin Bingwu's mind, and as she thought about the key points involved, her face became more anxious:

"Uncle knows he has no bottom line, but has he ever thought about it? After he knew that you married my mother as your second wife, he held a grudge and has always wanted to bring down the Gu family."

Gu Changhuai froze in his seat.

Qin Bingwu turned her head and glanced at Gu Siyan beside her:

"Brother Yan, do you remember when Brother Yue almost got into a fight while camping at Feiniao Lake? Also, Brother Nian was drugged and nearly made a mistake. And Brother Can was backstabbed by his agent and nearly caused a scandal... These things all happened after my mother married into the Gu family."

Qin Bingwu knew very well what happened to the brothers of the Gu family in their previous life. They had hardly put in any effort, but some were disabled, some were crippled, and their reputations were ruined.

It's just that she had stopped all of these things in advance in this life, so Gu Siyan didn't know the seriousness of these things, so he didn't think about it too much.

Now that Qin Bingwu mentioned it, everything connected.

Qin Bingwu added:

"Uncle Gu, if you continue to hide this, do you want Brother Yan and the others to be put in a passive position?"

"Is it the chairman of TK Group? No, that's not right. He is too old, the age doesn't match." Gu Siyan analyzed.

After hearing all this, the solemn expression on Gu Changhuai's face gradually turned into confusion. He looked at Gu Siyan:

"Ayan, so many things happened at home during the time I was abroad?"

Gu Siyan nodded:

"At first, I just thought they wanted to come to Beijing to develop. But after listening to Wuwu's analysis and thinking about it carefully, it really seems more like a personal vendetta."

Gu Changhuai slapped the armrest heavily and said in a deep voice:

"Wuwu, uncle didn't tell you, not because he was worried that your mother would leave, but... because he was worried about you..."

Qin Bingwu was a little puzzled:

"us?"

Gu Changhuai turned his head slightly and looked at the moon outside the window. A hint of melancholy appeared on his face. In a low voice, he recounted the past events:

"Your mother, your biological father, and I met while studying abroad. His Chinese was very good, and we all thought he was one of our own, so we quickly became good friends."

"He is very good, a quality even I, your love rival, would admit. His emotional intelligence and IQ are far superior to mine.

At that time, Yuzhi was beautiful, humorous, bright, generous, and a good cook. We often ate the dishes she cooked. When I was secretly in love with her, your biological father had already boldly confessed his love to her.

I knew I had little chance of winning, and I was already engaged, so I returned home early, married Ayan's mother, and had a child.

I didn't ask about Yuzhi again. I thought she would marry your biological father, have children, and love each other for the rest of her life. I thought it would be like that. As a result, so many years later, I ran into her near the mental hospital. Do you know how I felt at that time?

Such a bright girl turned into a madman..."
