Chapter 75 Let’s add WeChat “You also know…

"You still remember I'm your father," Gu Yan scolded in a low voice, "All you do all day is fool around with your brother!"

"Dad... why didn't you notify me when you came. You came here alone? Why didn't you bring anyone with you..." Gu Yiming stepped forward and looked behind him. Finally, his eyes fell on Chen Song, and his voice became lower.

Chen Song stood there in shock, recalling Gu Yan's stern scrutiny when they first met, and the strange feeling he felt when he saw his name on his ID card.

Is this...Gu Xingjue's father...

Chen Song's eyes fell helplessly on the floor in front of him. His body was stiff and he didn't dare turn around to look at Gu Yan, or rather confront him. Gu Yan's gaze was everywhere in his peripheral vision.

First of all, I've talked to his son before. Parents who accept their children's homosexuality are as rare as finding a needle in a haystack.

Secondly, his son used his money to help him pay off a debt of 30 million.

In the end, his son went to the emergency room many times to save himself and is still lying in bed.

No matter which one of them he took out, Chen Song didn't dare to appear in front of Gu Yan.

At this time, I was sweating profusely.

Gu Yan had no intention of letting him go. He ignored Gu Yiming's question and looked straight at Chen Song, as if he was interested in his self-aware look.

Chen Song took a deep breath, knowing he couldn't avoid it, so he moved his stiff lips and said politely, "Uncle, hello."

Gu Yan snorted coldly and turned to look at Gu Yiming: "Where is your brother?"

Gu Yiming didn't know why he was worried about Chen Song. Seeing that Gu Yan didn't make trouble, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Yan: "He's in the ward. I'll take you there."

Gu Yan raised his chin and gave him a look to signal him to lead the way.

Gu Yiming nodded and led Gu Yan away.

Chen Song froze in place, staring at the two men's backs. He didn't know whether to follow them or leave. His mind was still replaying the details of what had just happened, wondering if he had acted inappropriately, failed to take good care of Gu Yan, or offended him.

After thinking for a moment, the sentence that suddenly popped into my mind was "My wife is crazy and my son ran away with his lover."

Chen Song pinched the sweat from his palms and swallowed his dry throat.

"Chen Song." It was not until Gu Yan turned around and called him that Chen Song looked at Gu Yan blankly as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"What's wrong, uncle?" Chen Song clenched his fists and tried to remain calm.

Gu Yan tilted his head towards him: "Together."

"Okay." Chen Song quickly followed.

Gu Xingjue was eating a chilled watermelon in the ward. Chen Song had cut it for him today, and he was enjoying it so much. He picked up the last piece of watermelon and was about to put it in his mouth when the door was pushed open.

Gu Yiming winked at him: "Brother... Dad is here."

Gu Yan then walked in aggressively, followed by Chen Song with a heavy expression.

Gu Xingjue loosened his grip, and the watermelon fell onto the quilt. His face, which had been as cheerful as a breeze, gradually became gloomy.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" There was obvious hostility in his tone.

Gu Yan glared at him and sat on the stool beside the bed: "Don't call me dad, I don't have a son as disappointing as you."

"Chen Song, go back first." Gu Xingjue said to Chen Song gently, "I'm here, no one dares to do anything to you."

"You can't leave." Gu Yan said coldly.

Gu Xingjue coaxed Chen Song as if he hadn't heard him: "Come back to see me later, and I'll take care of it. It's okay, don't be afraid."

"Gu Xingjue, you thought I was dead, didn't you? Didn't you hear me?"

Gu Xingjue immediately turned his face to Gu Yan and said in a deep voice, his tone was resolute and cold, "Dad, you know where my bottom line is."

"I haven't done anything yet!" Gu Yan was so angry that he was furious when he saw Gu Xingjue's useless look. "Can't I go to him for treatment? Did I say I would do anything to him? Can you put away your worthless, pushy attitude! Do you have any manly dignity, you sissy?"

Gu Xingjue's eyes were sharp. Of course Gu Yan had said what he would do to Chen Song.

When Gu Yan first learned about his relationship with Chen Song, he threatened to have Chen Song killed during an argument, and he would ask someone from the Xie family to do it. Gu Xingjue was furious and said that if anyone dared to kill Chen Song, he would not live alone.

Gu Yan was just angry at the time, but he knew that Gu Xingjue would really do this.

Over the years, his disappointing son has been fooling around outside and has become a laughing stock behind his many partners in the circle.

Gu Yan had turned a blind eye to the money and resources given to the men Gu Xingjue had been with over the years. Gu Xingjue's mother was in poor health and died while giving birth to him. Before her death, she repeatedly told Gu Yan to love Gu Xingjue and let him do whatever he wanted.

Gu Yan didn't care, but who knew that he would go further and further astray on this path. When he wanted to correct his mistakes, it was too late, and he even took out 30 million to help his lover pay off his debts.

Although spending 30 million in one go was just a drop in the bucket for the Gu family, it was simply crazy compared to the money Gu Xingjue had given to outsiders in the past.

But what Gu Yan didn't expect was that Gu Xingjue was willing to inherit the family business for the first time, and offered to pay him back by earning 30 million yuan on his own.

It was because of a man named "Chen Song" that the prodigal son, who was so stubborn that even ten oxen couldn't pull him back, finally turned back.

Gu Yan couldn't accept that he was a man, but he was really curious about what kind of person could make his son, who was desperately seeking death outside, change his mind.

He must be a man with great means and scheming, more charming than a woman.

Gu Yan investigated Chen Song's background, but didn't find anything interesting. Instead, he felt that... this kid had a hard time.

Gu Yan quickly suppressed this kindness. The poorer the environment, the deeper the thoughts of the people. Their desires were too great, like a bottomless pit, and sooner or later they would drain Gu Xingjue.

Gu Yan thought that Gu Xingjue might have been in a spur-of-the-moment mood and would forget about him after a while, so he didn't pay much attention to Chen Song. However, Gu Xingjue was proving his sincerity towards Chen Song step by step.

In just three months, he paid off 30 million in debt with the project bonus he negotiated. He climbed to the top of the company in half a year, and in a year, he managed the company in an orderly manner with Gu Yiming.

Everyone saw Gu Xingjue's superficial glory, but Gu Yan knew that his son could not eat or sleep, and only wanted to work day and night, and occasionally ran to peek at other people's houses a few times.

Now this whole hero-saving-the-beauty thing has happened, and Gu Yan is feeling very uneasy in Beijing. After much deliberation, he decided to come.

He didn't come to see Gu Xingjue, but to see Chen Song specifically.

After meeting him, no matter how I look at him, he's a good kid with no bad intentions.

Gu Yan really didn't want to admit it, but this was his objective and true evaluation as an entrepreneur who had seen countless people.

"Why are you so anxious? If you don't believe me, ask him yourself if I came here to see a doctor. Who is seeing you? Can't I come here to see a doctor myself?"

Gu Xingjue: “…” Who are you trying to fool?

Gu Xingjue looked at Chen Song, and Gu Yiming also looked at Chen Song. The two brothers did not believe what the old man said. It was really not credible.

Why would Gu Yan come all alone to this remote hospital in South City, Wen City, to see a doctor? Doesn't the Gu family have a private doctor? Isn't there a hospital in Beijing City? Isn't there a hospital in North City?

Chen Song's nervousness eased for some reason. Perhaps he felt that Gu Yan was simply concerned about his son's condition, but couldn't bring himself to speak out. This arrogant look was very similar to Gu Xingjue's at times.

Chen Song couldn't help but wonder if Gu Xingjue would be like this when he got old.

Chen Song relaxed his brows and said, "It's true. I just took him to get an X-ray. I'll show him the results later."

Gu Xingjue and Gu Yiming obviously didn't believe it, but they didn't expose it. Only Chen Song was still seriously worried and said:

"It's just... Uncle has a problem with his head. If something goes wrong, it will be serious."

Gu Yan: "..." Why does this sound like a scolding to him?

Gu Yiming wanted to laugh, but he held it back. Gu Xingjue wanted to laugh, so he laughed. How could Chen Song be so cute?

Chen Song realized something was wrong when he saw Gu Xingjue smile, so he immediately explained. His cheeks started to burn as he spoke, and even his ears turned red:

"I'm sorry, I meant that the injury might be to the skull. Don't worry, uncle. If there is any problem, I will do my best to help you treat it."

Gu Yan glanced at him and responded nonchalantly: "Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I have something to say to them."

"Okay." Chen Song turned and walked out of the ward and closed the door. He leaned outside the door and took a deep breath. It took him a long time to recover.

In this ward, Gu Xingjue kept looking at the head reflected on the glass outside the door.

"Look, it doesn't seem like they want to be nice to you." Gu Yan clicked his tongue.

Gu Xingjue looked at Gu Yan after seeing the head disappear from the glass window: "Why are you scaring him? He's as timid as a rabbit, what will happen if he gets scared?"

Gu Yan pointed at his head and said angrily: "I think it's not your back that's burned, it's your brain!"

"Gu Yiming, if you dare to do the same as your brother, I will break your legs!" Gu Yan said and pointed at Gu Yiming, warning him.

Gu Yiming said "Oh" and responded casually.

Gu Xingjue smiled cheerfully: "My back is indeed burned, and if my brain is damaged... maybe I inherited it from you."

Gu Yan: “…”

Before Gu Yan started to attack, Gu Yiming asked, "Dad, you must be hungry. How about I take you to eat some local specialties?"

Gu Yan said, "Have someone buy it for me. I'll sit down and eat. And call that... that kid over to eat with us."

Gu Xingjue said, "He's busy with work, so the two of us can just eat with you."

Gu Yan glanced at Gu Xingjue and said, "We have to eat together sooner or later. Let him get used to it."

Gu Xingjue was stunned: "You agree?"

Gu Yan didn't say anything. He snorted coldly and stood up to sit on the sofa beside him. He raised his chin towards Gu Xingjue and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Whether I agree or not, you have to be able to bring her home."

Chen Song went to get Gu Yan's various reports, and the results showed that there were no problems. He breathed a sigh of relief. He planned to go to Gu Yan to explain the situation after checking the conditions of the other patients.

Just as Chen Song finished his examination, a bodyguard came and told him that Gu Yiming wanted him to come over for dinner. Chen Song took the report and went over.

Chen Song took the report and seriously introduced Gu Yan's bone condition to him. Gu Xingjue smiled beside him, and Gu Yiming couldn't help but smile too.

Gu Yan listened to his two sons' ridicule and gritted his teeth to finish the play with Chen Song. After Chen Song finished, he quickly called him to eat together.

Chen Song was clearly feeling very uncomfortable during the meal, as if sitting on pins and needles. Gu Xingjue kept serving him food, soothing him, and finding topics to liven up the atmosphere, which made Chen Song feel less tormented.

Gu Yan stayed in the hospital for a day before returning to Beijing. He couldn't bear to see his son rushing to do something. But at least someone could tame this troublemaker, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

…

Chen Song had been busy with Zhou Shudie and Gu Xingjue's affairs recently and had put that matter aside. Gu Yan's arrival made Chen Song more sober.

After learning that Gu Xingjue had repaid the 30 million yuan for him, Chen Song contacted a real estate agent and planned to sell the house that Chen Shengping had left him. Someone had wanted to buy it some time ago, but Chen Song was too busy to find the time, so it was delayed until now.

Chen Song was on vacation today and drove back home, taking only some daily necessities and clothes. He sold everything else, as even if he moved out, there was no room for him in the cramped staff dormitory.

The home buyer and the agent arrived, and after signing the contract and paying the money, Chen Song took his things and left.

He only packed a small cardboard box into the three-story house.

Chen Song stood at the door and looked back at the house that had trapped him for the first half of his life, a house that had been delayed for a year before it was finally sold. He felt a mixture of emotions.

Chen Song went there in the morning and came back in the evening. He drove the car to the store where he bought it and found the person in charge to sell it.

The person in charge, assuming Chen Song wanted to sell his car for a new one, was very enthusiastic. After assessing the car's value, he offered a sincere suggestion: "Mr. Chen, although you've only had this car for a little over a year and your installment payment recently ended, it's a bit old. Honestly, I don't recommend selling it. The best you can get is a little over ten thousand. This car is also completely new, with no major damage. It's not worth selling. You can give it to your family to drive. If you're looking to buy a new car, I have a new model here. Let me show you."

Chen Song thought about it and decided not to sell it. The extra ten thousand wouldn't be much to pay off the debt, and the extra ten thousand wouldn't be a small amount either. He might find other uses for the car. He politely declined the offer and left the shop.

Tomorrow is the day Gu Xingjue will be discharged from the hospital. When Chen Song passed by a flower shop, he bought a bouquet of flowers to visit him.

Gu Xingjue was very happy to see someone coming with flowers. He was extremely happy, so happy that he wanted to get out of bed to greet them, but was stopped by Chen Song. He then sat back on the bed obediently.

Chen Song had never given him flowers, and he had never given Chen Song flowers. There was no such sense of ritual in their past interactions. Gu Xing had no idea that receiving flowers from a loved one could bring such joy.

Gu Xingjue felt ashamed and decided to give Chen Song a lot of flowers in the future.

Chen Song put the flowers on the cabinet. Gu Xingjue insisted on holding them in his arms to have a look, so Chen Song put the flowers in his arms again.

Chen Song sat on the stool and looked at his happy expression. After a while, he said, "Gu Xingjue."

Gu Xingjue had a bad feeling: "I changed my name."

Chen Song must have known about this, so Gu Xingjue didn't hide it. Chen Song suddenly called his name so seriously, as if the relationship between the two of them, which had finally eased and drawn closer, was brought back to square one.

Gu Xing felt a little depressed, as if the two months of getting along were just a short dream. As soon as Chen Song called his name, he woke up from the dream.

He was already afraid to face this name, as if as long as he called Gu Huimo, the two of them could go back to the past.

Chen Song's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at him and asked, "Give me your bank card number, and I will pay you back regularly every month."

"Chen Song, it's not your fault."

"I know," Chen Song sat up straight, as tough as the weeds poking out of a crack, "It's not your fault. But someone has to take the blame, right?"

Gu Xingjue knew that he couldn't change Chen Song's decision. He felt distressed and pitiful. He sighed and thought helplessly:

"Then let's add WeChat."
