12 years ago, the third young miss of the Su family was disfigured by a fire. Her parents, deeming her ill-fated, drove her out of the house.
12 years later, she became a sacrifice for a fami...
Chapter 2385: Fate
Xiao Jun finally showed the letter written by his father to Gu Changhai.
Xiao Chongyang explained everything very clearly in the letter. After reading it, Gu Changhai learned about Xiao Jun's life experience and also learned about his brother's past...
My brother Gu Ziheng died of blood disease. He was less than 35 years old when he died.
Before his death, he was dating a girl named Song Yu.
Song Yu is their neighbor. She is a very lovely girl with a straightforward personality. She says whatever she wants. Her brother often says that Song Yu is like a pool of clear water, and you can see through it at a glance.
Song Yu has liked Brother Ziheng since she was a child. The little girl is pretty and cute, so it is inevitable that relatives and friends will gossip about her. They also make some harmless jokes, saying that Xiaoyu is so beautiful, I wonder which boy she will marry in the future.
Song Yu always said without hesitation: "Gu Ziheng, I will be Brother Ziheng's wife in the future!"
He didn't even feel the slightest bit of shame when he said this.
Sometimes she would say the same thing in front of Brother Ziheng. Brother Ziheng would blush every time he heard it, but he would neither deny nor refuse.
Over time, everyone tacitly accepted that they were a couple and would get married sooner or later.
Brother Ziheng does like Song Yu, but he is several years older than Song Yu. He has already started working, while Song Yu is still in high school.
However, as soon as Song Yu graduated from high school, the two began dating.
When Song Yu finished college, the two were going to get married, but Ziheng was diagnosed with a blood disease.
My brother's illness requires a bone marrow transplant, but unfortunately no one in the Gu family has a bone marrow that matches his.
After two years of treatment, no suitable bone marrow was found.
When Song Yu heard that children's umbilical cord blood contained a large number of hematopoietic stem cells, she wanted to have a child with Brother Ziheng. If they were a match, she would use the child's umbilical cord blood to save him.
But Brother Ziheng disagreed. At that time, the two had not yet gotten married, so how could he let Song Yu give birth to a child for him?
Song Yu then said, then marry me, get the certificate, and we will be legal.
Gu Ziheng still disagreed. He said it was not a question of legality, but a responsibility.
The child's umbilical cord blood might not be able to save him. If it couldn't save him, and he died, leaving behind Song Yu and a child, what would happen? He couldn't be so irresponsible.
That was a life, not his medicine.
Gu Changhai knew about all these things between Brother Ziheng and Song Yu, but he had no idea what happened afterwards.
However, he learned what happened next in Xiao Chongyang's letter.
After Brother Ziheng rejected Song Yu's proposal, Song Yu did not give up.
At that time, the two were already living together. After a loving encounter, she preserved Ziheng's reproductive cells and went to the in vitro fertilization center alone without telling Ziheng. She wanted the doctor to perform in vitro fertilization on her, but her physical condition did not allow it at the time, and the doctor asked her to wait half a month before coming back.
At that time, Xiao Chongyang also wanted to have a child, but unfortunately his body was damaged and he was unable to have children. Even if he wanted to do in vitro fertilization, it would not be possible.
At the same time, he had been secretly paying attention to all the movements of the Gu family. After learning about Song Yu's plan, he came up with a bold and crazy plan.
He had someone steal Brother Ziheng's reproductive cells and then combine them with Shen Qingxi's reproductive cells. He did all this without telling Shen Qingxi.
After the child is born, he plans to train him well, make him cold and cruel, and then avenge the Gu family for him.
He wanted to watch the descendants of the Gu family destroy the Gu family with their own hands, and watch this child and Gu Changhai's son kill each other.
He also raised his child with the idea of competing with Gu Changhai. He believed that the child he raised must be better than Gu Changhai's son.
In this way, Shen Qingxi underwent in vitro fertilization surgery.
Half a month later, Song Yu did not return to the IVF center because Brother Ziheng discovered her plan and stopped her.
The matter ended like this, and half a year later, Brother Ziheng passed away due to illness.
After her brother passed away, Song Yu seemed like a different person. The originally cheerful girl suddenly became silent and focused all her attention on work.
Seven years passed in a flash. Song Yu never got married or had a relationship, but became a workaholic.
Perhaps it was because the work was too hard, or perhaps it was because he missed his brother so much that he became sick. On the seventh anniversary of his brother's death, Song Yu returned from the cemetery after visiting the grave. He was caught in the rain and caught a high fever. He never recovered and passed away in less than a month.
At this time, Xiao Jun had already been born and was almost seven years old.
He did not develop in the direction Xiao Chongyang hoped.
On the contrary, under Xiao Chongyang's strict teaching, he became more and more introverted until he was diagnosed with autism by a doctor.
Xiao Chongyang felt very disappointed and unwilling, so he had to give up his previous plan.
But Xiao Jun was a sensible child, well-behaved and very obedient since childhood. So although he was disappointed with Xiao Jun, he never disliked the child.
Regardless of whether they are your own flesh and blood or not, you have watched them grow up and have feelings for them.
Later, Xiao Jun showed great talent in painting. He held art exhibitions at a very young age, and his paintings were sold at high prices.
Xiao Chongyang did not support Xiao Jun's pursuit of an artistic career. He hoped that Xiao Jun would become as successful in the business world as he did. However, he was also proud to see his child win major awards and become famous at a young age.
After all, he once dreamed of becoming an artist.
Only when he saw that Gu Changhai's son was successful in his career, and then went home to see that his own son only knew how to paint in the room, did he feel a strong sense of frustration.
After Shen Qingxi passed away, Xiao Jun's condition worsened. Xiao Chongyang felt even more guilty towards the child. As his guilt towards Shen Qingxi grew, he doted on the child as much as possible and met all of Xiao Jun's requirements.
What Xiao Chongyang was thinking was, no matter whether my son is better than Gu Changhai’s son, at least I should make my son happier than his son.
So when he found out that Xiao Jun also liked Jiuyao, he encouraged and helped Xiao Jun pursue Jiuyao for this reason.
It’s a pity that what he imposed on Xiao Jun was not what Xiao Jun really wanted.
This favor came too late. Xiao Jun's personality had already been formed, and the relationship between father and son was difficult to improve.
At the end of the letter, Xiao Chongyang told Xiao Jun that he respected Xiao Jun's opinion regarding his life experience, and whether to return to his ancestral home or keep it secret was up to Xiao Jun to decide.
He sincerely hopes that Xiao Jun can be happy, love the person he wants to love, and live the life he wants.
His terrible father had nothing to give him, but he had already distributed his inheritance in his will. Thinking that Xiao Jun would at least not suffer materially, he could feel a little comforted.
After reading the letter, Gu Changhai handed it back to Xiao Jun and asked him if he had made up his mind whether to make his background public.
