Chapter 2376 Hidden Pain

However, speaking of Xiao Jun's life experience, Xiao Chongyang suddenly suppressed all his emotions. He looked at Gu Changhai calmly, "Ajun is my son. It's just a coincidence that he looks like your son."

"But as far as I know..."

"Everything you know is false!" Xiao Chongyang said firmly.

But beneath his calm, almost indifferent attitude, Gu Changhai could feel the ups and downs of his emotions.

Xiao Chongyang was unwilling to say.

Never mind, he had already guessed it anyway.

Gu Changhai didn't continue talking, took a sip of wine, and turned his eyes away...

During this period, he carefully investigated Xiao Jun's background.

Because the last time Han Ye came to him and asked about his background, Han Ye mentioned Xiao Jun.

Han Ye said that Jiuyao had mistaken Xiao Jun for Han Ye more than once.

Han Ye himself also felt that he and Xiao Jun looked somewhat similar, so he asked Gu Changhai if he was related to Xiao Jun.

Gu Changhai had only met Xiao Jun twice and did not have a deep impression of him, but when he thought about it carefully, the child did look a lot like A Ye.

He was sure that Xiao Jun was not Gu Changhai's child.

Could that be Wanqing and Xiao Chongyang’s son?

And Aye and Xiao Jun are half-brothers?

But Xiao Jun is younger than Han Ye and should be the same age as Tianqi.

Could it be that Wanqing gave birth to a child with Xiao Chongyang during the cold war and separation between him?

Although it seemed absurd and impossible, once these thoughts popped up, they were as annoying as mosquitoes. He couldn't drive them away, but he couldn't ignore them either. Gu Changhai couldn't sleep at night.

So he investigated Xiao Jun's background.

During the investigation, they unexpectedly learned that Xiao Jun's mother, Shen Qingxi, was still alive. They contacted Shen Qingxi and went to meet her in person.

Gu Changhai showed Shen Qingxi Han Ye's photo. Shen Qingxi was also very surprised. She didn't expect that the two children looked so similar.

The problem is, she is very sure that Xiao Jun is her and Xiao Chongyang's son.

And Han Ye is indeed the child of Gu Changhai and Wanqing.

So the two children are so similar that it can only be explained by coincidence.

But Gu Changhai traveled thousands of miles to see her because he didn't think it was a coincidence.

He hoped that Shen Qingxi would tell him Xiao Jun's current contact information. He wanted to meet Xiao Jun in person. If necessary, he also wanted Xiao Jun and Han Ye to do a blood relationship test. This was the simplest and most direct method.

As long as the two are not brothers, there is no need to investigate further.

Gu Changhai didn't care whose child Xiao Jun was. What he cared about was whether Xiao Jun had a blood relationship with the Gu family or the Wanqing family.

Shen Qingxi is an understanding woman. She is willing to do her best to help Gu Changhai and is willing to tell him everything she knows.

But when Gu Changhai proposed to meet Xiao Jun, she was very cautious. She said that life experience is a big deal for everyone, and Ajun has experienced many cruel things, and she didn't want to let the child get hurt again.

Shen Qingxi hoped that Gu Changhai would not rashly go to find Xiao Jun before the matter was thoroughly investigated, otherwise it would only cause trouble to the child.

Gu Changhai understood Shen Qingxi's protective mentality towards her son, so he promised her that if he could find out the truth through other means, he would never bother Xiao Jun.

Afterwards, Shen Qingxi told him about Xiao Chongyang's private life.

The purpose of Xiao Chongyang and Shen Qingxi's marriage is to use the Shen family's wealth and power to strengthen themselves.

But all of Mr. Shen's assets were left to his grandson or granddaughter. In order to obtain the inheritance, Xiao Chongyang had to have a child with Shen Qingxi.

Unfortunately, after four years of marriage, Shen Qingxi still hasn't gotten pregnant.

According to Shen Qingxi, Xiao Chongyang was not keen on sex and was very perfunctory about it, probably because he didn't love her.

But in order to get the inheritance, the two still had sex, but she was unable to conceive and eventually had in vitro fertilization.

The so-called test-tube baby is a baby born by artificially forming an embryo in vitro, completing its early development, and then transplanting it into the mother's body for development.

For many parents who cannot conceive normally, in vitro fertilization is an effective and feasible method.

It sounds like Xiao Jun is definitely Xiao Chongyang's son.

But because it was a test-tube baby, Gu Changhai believed that the hospital might have made a mistake or someone might have tampered with the child during the initial conception stage.

Xiao Jun’s biological parents may not be Xiao Chongyang and Shen Qingxi.

Is it possible for a hospital to make such a low-level mistake? Gu Changhai thinks it is unlikely.

And how come the child born due to the hospital's mistake happens to look like Gu Changhai and Wanqing's child?

Having ruled out the hospital's problems, could it be Xiao Chongyang's own doing?

Is it true that Xiao Chongyang was obsessed with Wanqing, so he used despicable means to allow this child with Wanqing's DNA to grow up in Shen Qingxi's womb?

If it is really Wanqing's child, then Wanqing could not have done it voluntarily.

Did Xiao Chongyang secretly perform surgery on Wanqing and remove her egg cells?

Thinking of this, Gu Changhai was furious.

But in front of Shen Qingxi, Gu Changhai controlled his emotions and did not express his guess.

He said goodbye to Shen Qingxi that day and continued to investigate the matter after returning to Haicheng.

He personally visited the hospital where Xiao Jun was born and the medical institution that had performed in vitro fertilization on them. He also went to the hospital where Xiao Chongyang received treatment for his leg injury and retrieved his medical records from that year.

Only then did Gu Changhai realize that Xiao Chongyang had lost his fertility after returning from the no-man's land, probably because he encountered a sudden drop in temperature in the wild and suffered damage to his body due to the frostbite.

The hospital's diagnosis roughly meant that sex was only for reproduction and not for pleasure. This also explained why he was not keen on sex after marrying Shen Qingxi.

The fact that he has no children after marrying Shen Qingxi shows that he has actually lost his fertility.

This must be the hidden pain deep in Xiao Chongyang's heart.

That’s why Gu Changhai said just now that even if Xiao Chongyang and Wanqing were together later, they might not be happy.

Because Xiao Chongyang might not even be able to give Wanqing a basic sexual life...

This kind of thing is difficult to accept for most men and is also the biggest pain, so Gu Changhai did not point it out to leave some dignity for Xiao Chongyang.

Now Xiao Chongyang insists that Xiao Jun is his biological son, probably because he doesn't want people to know that he is infertile.

It was probably because he was infertile that he felt so regretful and painful when he heard that he had a child...

As for Xiao Jun's life experience, even though Xiao Chongyang didn't say anything, Gu Changhai had a rough guess.

Xiao Jun's biological mother is Shen Qingxi, but his biological father is not Xiao Chongyang.

Given that Xiao Jun and Han Ye look very much like brothers, Gu Changhai boldly speculates that Xiao Jun should be a descendant of the Gu family.
