In a story, the supporting male role can be an evenly matched opponent, a handy tool person, a brother who shares life and death, or a lifelong enemy that's hard to dispel, the ultimate villain...
Chapter 55: Adultery 22
"Xiaochen, what on earth is going on?"
As soon as Gu Yanchen arrived at the Tang family, he was asked questions non-stop.
Xue Huaisu even grabbed his arm anxiously: "Why did I hear that Nannan's child, your biological brother, is not Gu Rong? Is this true? Ah? Tell grandma quickly——"
"Grandma, who told you this? Where did this news come from?"
Gu Yanchen felt very annoyed, not knowing whether it was because of the leaked information or because of the attitude of Xue Huaisu and others.
He left in a hurry and did not see Gu Rong when he left. He did not know whether Gu Rong had heard about this matter.
He was also somewhat glad that Gu Rong had taken a leave of absence, so he didn't have to go to the company today.
"Who else could have told you this?"
Xue Huaisu's tone was filled with complaint. "You've already investigated everything, but you haven't even told the Gu family everything, right? They've called us to ask about it, and we thought we knew the situation, but you're hiding it from both sides. It's such a big deal, Xiaochen, what are you thinking?"
"Who is this child that our daughter is trying so hard to give birth to? Tell grandma now."
"Yes, Xiaochen, at this point, do you still want to hide it?" Tang Youze also said from the side.
Gu Yanchen pinched his eyebrows and said, "Grandma, I didn't mean to hide it."
"Then tell me, is Gu Rong our Nannan's biological son?"
At this point, there's no point in hiding it any longer.
Gu Yanchen could only tell the truth.
Then Xue Huaisu grabbed his arm even more excitedly, anxiously and urgently: "So the child our daughter gave birth to at the cost of her life is really someone else—Xiaochen. Where is that child? Why don't you bring him to see me, his grandmother?! He is my biological grandson. He has been wandering around for so many years, so pitiful..."
My dear grandson, wandering around? Poor?
Gu Yanchen felt that he did not quite understand what was said, and there was even a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Mom, don't worry, Xiaochen will bring the child back."
Tang Youze came over to support Xue Huaisu, and also echoed Xue Huaisu's words, asking Gu Yanchen to find time to bring the child to see his biological grandmother.
"Why?"
Gu Yanchen spoke in a low voice.
"What why?"
Xue Huaisu didn't understand, his face still full of distress and anxiety: "That child is your biological brother, my grandson, how can he stay outside all the time? Doesn't the Gu family intend to recognize him? Xiaochen, what are you and your grandfather thinking? Why don't you bring him home immediately?"
"If our daughter knew that her biological little son had been wandering around, she would be so sad. Maybe her spirit in heaven helped you find your biological brother during her death anniversary. She is probably waiting for her own child to come and pay tribute to him. Xiaochen, you——"
"Grandma, do you want to see him?"
Gu Yanchen interrupted Xue Huaisu and asked as if to confirm something.
"Yes, of course I have to. He is my grandson."
Xue Huaisu repeated these words again, still with such eagerness, as if her own grandson had suffered many unknown grievances and difficulties outside. She wanted Gu Yanchen to bring him to her immediately and love him well: "When he comes, I will personally take him to visit your mother's grave and tell him-"
"Tell him what?"
"Tell him that the one who has been taking his place for so many years has never been liked by his grandmother?!"
Gu Yanchen suddenly got angry, his voice became louder and louder, almost scaring everyone present.
Xue Huaisu's eyes suddenly widened, and even Tang Youze was startled.
"Yan Chen, you, what are you doing?"
Gu Yanchen didn't look at anyone else, but only at Xue Huaisu. His heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, because of Xue Huaisu's words, because of everything Gu Rong had suffered over the years, because of the unfair treatment... He was almost going crazy, his chest kept heaving, he suppressed his voice, his breath was low, and his aura was very oppressive.
"Grandma, why do you react like this to Xu Junyue, whom you have never met? It's true that he is my brother and your grandson, but before you knew the truth, wasn't Gu Rong also your grandson? Why are you so harsh towards Gu Rong? Why can you change your attitude to someone else all of a sudden?"
"Do you know Xu Junyue's family situation? Do you know that he has actually lived a good life over the years? Do you know that he doesn't need anyone to feel sorry for him?"
Xue Huaisu's face trembled, and he almost shrieked, "Xiaochen, what do you mean? Are you blaming grandma?!"
Tang Youze was also very dissatisfied: "Yes, Yan Chen, what do you want to say?"
"Mom is also worried about the child that Youjin gave birth to with so much difficulty being stranded outside. I'm worried that the child will suffer some injustice. Shouldn't we be anxious?"
Hearing these words, Gu Yanchen even had the urge to laugh.
He has never been a talkative person, but at this moment, he couldn't suppress the urge to speak, and he couldn't suppress the anger that was rising up. His heart was about to explode.
"Is it Jun Yue who is wronged? Shouldn't it be Gu Rong who is wronged?"
Gu Yanchen stared at Xue Huaisu, knowing full well how heartbreaking his next words would be, but he still had to continue: "Grandma, for so many years you have felt that it was Gu Rong who killed Mom. How come you don't feel that way when it suddenly turns out to be someone else? The child Mom gave birth to herself was the one who killed her, wasn't it? Grandma, why don't you feel resentful anymore? Is it because you have felt resentful enough for so many years, so after knowing that the child Mom risked her life to give birth to was someone else, you finally feel heartache?!"
"What do you mean my mother is in heaven? If she knew that for so many years you treated Gu Rong, whom you thought was her biological son, like an enemy, and that you had been so harsh on the child she risked her life to give birth to, wouldn't she really blame you after knowing it?! Because before the truth was revealed, Gu Rong really had been my son for more than 20 years!"
“You you——”
Xue Huaisu covered his heart and almost couldn't control himself from falling backwards.
Tang Youze quickly supported him, his expression grim: "Gu Yanchen! What are you doing?! Are you trying to piss off your grandma to death?!"
"I just think it's unfair."
Gu Yanchen curled his lips: "Very disgusting."
"Gu Yanchen!!"
Tang Youze was almost tearing his eyes out and was stunned. He never thought that the person who said such words could be Gu Yanchen.
What's wrong? Are you crazy?!
What's even more disgusting is him.
For so many years, as a brother, he should have been the closest person to Gu Rong...but he turned a blind eye to it.
Gu Yanchen couldn't help but close his eyes tightly, as if he couldn't breathe. When he opened his eyes again, his tone returned to calm, or indifferent.
"Grandma, I will tell Jun Yue everything, including everything Gu Rong has suffered and endured for him over the years. Whether he is willing to come to see you at that time is entirely up to him."
"What......"
Xue Huaisu stared with his eyes wide open, his face extremely embarrassed, his lips trembling, as if he was ashamed, but also as if he wanted to make excuses.
"No, you can't..."
"Grandma, I'm sorry for saying these things to you."
Gu Yanchen's jaw tightened for a moment: "But I don't regret it."
Unable to stay even a second longer, Gu Yanchen said goodbye and left.
He really wants to see Gu Rong now, very much.
I want to hold him in my arms and say sorry in his ear. My heart aches just thinking about it.
But when they arrived at the old house, Uncle Li rushed out and told Gu Yanchen that Gu Rong had left with his luggage long after he left, saying that he was going to live away from home for a while.
Gu Yanchen subconsciously thought that he didn't hear clearly or heard it wrong, so he asked again.
"The second young master left and said he was moving out—"
Gu Rong came to Xu's house leisurely with his luggage.
Originally, he wanted to move out and live on his own, but then he thought it would be a pity to move out and not live with his parents.
So I came over.
When I came to my house, he pretended to be embarrassed, saying that he was disturbing me and wondered if I could stay here for a few days.
They exchanged contact information and addresses yesterday, but Gu Rong showed up today, carrying luggage with him. Xu Zhian and Cheng Yunqing were so surprised that they didn't know what to say and were a little at a loss. Xu Zhian even went forward to help Gu Rong carry the luggage after Gu Rong finished speaking.
"Yes, of course you can live here. This is your home too... You can come and stay here anytime you want. Come on in—"
The two of them didn't ask why Gu Rong came so suddenly, and they greeted Gu Rong naturally, as if Gu Rong was a child who finally came home.
The Xu family also has its own door and yard, a small Western-style house. Although it is certainly not as good as the Gu family, it is warm everywhere. The small courtyard is planted with flowers and vegetables. It is the season of ripening and lush. There is also a swing chair with cushions on the side. It looks like someone sits there often.
"LaCrosse sometimes likes to sit there and play with his phone."
Noticing Gu Rong's gaze, Cheng Yunqing couldn't help but explain and asked Gu Rong: "What do you like? What do you like to eat? Mom... I'll grow some too. The things grown at home are safe to eat. By the way, I've actually cleared out a room for you at home a long time ago, but our house is small and we don't have a choice of rooms."
"The room Junyue has lived in since childhood is definitely not suitable for you to live in, so we are thinking of buying a new house. How about letting you pick the room you like first?"
"Yes, we have been looking at houses for the past two days, but we haven't found a suitable one yet."
Xu Zhian also turned around to explain: "Don't worry, Junyue also said that when the time comes, you can choose the room you like first - uh, Junyue, he has always lived with us..."
I don't know if it's appropriate to mention Xu Junyue at this time. When I reacted, Xu Zhian had already said it. I wanted to explain, but I didn't know where to start. It seemed like I was afraid that Gu Rong would mind, and also like I was worried that Gu Rong would be sad. At such an old age, I was actually a little panicked and confused.
Gu Rong stepped forward with a smile, put his hand on Xu Zhian's shoulder, and whispered, "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom. I'll thank Jun Yue again when he comes back."
"Although we were born on the same day and at about the same time, I was still born earlier than him, right? So he should be able to call me brother, right?"
For some reason, Cheng Yunqing's eyes immediately turned red. He turned his head and wiped his eyes, then turned back and said with a smile: "How could it be, haven't you come to the conclusion yet, silly child? Your real birth time should be Junyue's now, so strictly speaking, you are actually younger than Junyue, half an hour younger."
Ah, I forgot about that.
Gu Rong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he was the youngest.
As I was talking, the cell phone started ringing frantically.
Looking down, it was Gu Yanchen.
Gu Rong smiled and said he would pick up the phone, then turned and left.
He walked out of the small house and paced towards the shadows on the street. As he was about to answer the phone, he suddenly heard several horn sounds.
After hearing the news that Gu Rong had moved out, Gu Yanchen turned around and got into the car without saying a word and drove out of the old house. After driving out, he realized that he had no idea where Gu Rong had gone with the luggage, but he couldn't stop for a minute, as if he was afraid that Gu Rong would disappear. His heart was beating very fast and he was very anxious.
I could only drive while thinking about where Gu Rong might go.
Finally, he arrived at the door of Xu's house based on his intuition.
I didn't expect to see Gu Rong here.
——This made Gu Yanchen feel even more uncomfortable than if Gu Rong went to live in his own house outside.
Because Gu Rong returned to his other home.
Gu Yanchen froze in place, watching Gu Rong turn around, then open the car door and get in.
"What's up?"
What's up.
What an easy question.
It was less than half a day, but it felt like a long time had passed.
It had been so long since he saw Gu Rong again that Gu Yanchen almost felt that Gu Rong was going to stay away from his life.
"Why not?"
"say what?"
Gu Rong paused: "What about me moving out?"
"Is it necessary?"
"Is it not necessary?!"
Gu Yanchen raised his voice a little, and suddenly turned to look at Gu Rong: "Moving out to live here, then, are you not going back?!"
Gu Rong seemed a little surprised and a little surprised. He looked at Gu Yanchen and asked in a low voice: "Isn't this the result you want?"
"I--"
Gu Yanchen opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but Gu Rong spoke first.
"What reason do I have to stay in the Gu family now? I have to leave sooner or later, right?"
"They'll find out sooner or later. Instead of waiting for them to act sarcastic, I'd better be more informed and sensible."
It is obvious who "they" refers to.
It’s the Tang family and the Gu family.
There are only a few people who hope that Gu Rong will continue to stay.
Gu Yanchen couldn't say it in a guilty conscience. He just felt like his heart was about to burst, and the pain was tight and astringent.
He looked at Gu Rong and said in a hoarse voice: "You don't need to pay attention to them, I'm here..."
After saying the three words "I am here", Gu Yanchen was unable to continue.
What can he do with me around?
If he was around, then why had Gu Rong suffered all these years?
Gu Yanchen covered his heart, feeling really uncomfortable.
But the next second, Gu Rong came over——
Gu Rong held Gu Yanchen's face and looked at him deeply. The next moment, she suddenly kissed him, rubbing and twisting, and finally bit Gu Yanchen's lips hard. When she was about to move away, Gu Yanchen held the back of her neck. They both opened their eyes and looked at each other. There seemed to be something in their eyes, and they were deeply stuck and restless.
Then, as if to vent, they kissed fiercely and passionately, with a strong momentum, entwining themselves with each other.
I don’t know how long it was before Gu Rong pushed Gu Yanchen away first.
Then he whispered:
"Let's stop here, Gu Yanchen."
"Thank you for giving me a home. You don't have to pity me anymore."
