As Lu Yi turned into the intersection in front of the Gu family's house, he noticed a car following closely behind.

The road isn't wide, but it can still fit two cars.

Seeing that the other two were going side by side, Lu Yi slammed on the brakes to let him pass.

Unexpectedly, the car made a left turn and blocked his car directly, acting extremely domineeringly.

"Open the door!"

Just as Lu Yi was about to lash out, Gu Huainan rushed out of the car and started banging on his car window.

What are you doing?

Despite asking the question, he still unlocked the door.

Gu Huainan opened the car door, got in, fastened his seatbelt, pulled down the brim of his sun hat, and urged Lu Yi to drive quickly, as if he were doing something wrong.

Lu Yi had unbuckled his seatbelt, intending to get out of the car and argue with him.

Smelling the rancid odor on him, she quickly did as he said.

After driving about a mile, Gu Huainan took off his hat and let out a long sigh of relief.

“My older brother is like he’s possessed. There’s nothing going on at school, but he insists that I live on campus. I refused, so he sent me to another city.”

"Luckily, I was smart enough to rent a car, so he doesn't know where I am. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for me to contact you!"

He spoke with a face full of indignation, earnestly recounting the hardships he had endured during this period.

Lu Yi listened quietly and drove forward, following the flow of traffic onto the elevated road.

He pondered where he could go nearby, and in the distance he saw a large sign on a building. Suddenly he remembered that there was a nice hot spring resort nearby.

Gu Huainan talked on and on, but Lu Yi could tell that none of it was of any real importance.

He disguised himself and stopped me; he certainly wasn't just chatting idly.

There weren't many guests in the men's hot spring area.

It's perfect for the two of them to be "frank and honest with each other".

After showering and cleaning themselves, the two first loosened up their muscles in the hot spring area before moving on to the outdoor area.

A cool breeze dissipated the heat from my body.

Gu Huainan exaggeratedly crossed his arms and stepped into a hot water tank with a splash, sinking himself completely into it.

Lu Yi entered the other room next to him. When he finally peeked out, he squinted and said, "So, what's the rush to see me?"

He casually draped his arms over the rim of the vat, staring at Gu Huainan with a complicated expression.

The indifference of not caring about others' affairs is completely gone.

"Lu Yi, do you know that Madam Lu has gone to get evidence for another paternity test? If the results are different from before, will you feel relieved or disappointed?"

Gu Huainan unconsciously splashed water on himself, but his expression was not good.

If Lu Baoyun hadn't told him, he would never have imagined that a mother would doubt her son's bloodline first when her family faced hardship!

Lu Baoyun told him while crying.

He begged him to give Lu Yi a heads-up beforehand, so that Lu Yi wouldn't be heartbroken if he found out.

This is why he dropped his work and came to find Lu Yi.

"I know you don't care, but Baoyun is very worried about you. Can you tell me the truth?"

He leaned halfway out, splashing water all over the ground.

Lu Yi shifted his gaze, looked up at the variously shaped ceilings above, and chuckled softly.

"Do you know Huainan? When a person is suspected, nothing they do or say will matter. Whether they feel fortunate or disappointed, what can it change?"

He's no longer that silly kid who longs for someone to love him.

Everything before was a dream. When you wake up, you have to accept the messy reality.

Qin Fengying cared more about her adopted son, Lu Han, than he could have imagined.

Continuing to obsess over how much maternal love to give him is no different from putting your face under someone else's feet and letting them rub it to death!

He hadn't thought about this topic for a long time.

If Gu Huainan hadn't asked him so seriously, he would have subconsciously forgotten about it long ago.

Like a wound, once the bleeding stops and the scab forms, new flesh and blood slowly grow back, and the heart-wrenching memories are soothed by time.

"You're right, oh dear, I knew it! Bao Yun is just worrying for nothing!"

Gu Huainan breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glanced at him a few times, and got up to shake off the water droplets on his body.

She grabbed Lu Yi's arm. "Come on, let's go lie down in that pool for a while. My whole body feels stiff these past few days..."

Lu Yi didn't move, but frowned and raised his hand to signal him to quickly sit in the water and cover himself up.

Gu Huainan didn't care at all, chuckling foolishly as he peeked between Lu Yi's legs.

Lu Yi bent his knees and pushed his head to the side.

"If it were just to say this, I could have made a phone call. Why did you have to go through all this trouble? So, what else is there?"

I've been dealing with Gu Huainan for quite some time.

He wasn't as thoughtful as Gu Huaibei; he was always straightforward in his words and actions.

If you're harboring something bad, you'll want to wear it all over your face.

Otherwise, Lin Xiaoya wouldn't have treated him like a hothead and ignored him.

Gu Huainan sat down heavily in the large water vat, slapping the surface of the water with his hands. "You've seen right through me. This is really boring."

"I'm really hungry right now, but I don't want to talk about it. You can treat me to a meal, and also get me a room so I can get some sleep. I'll definitely..."

He had a lot to say to Lu Yi.

There were things like Lin Xiaoya's request, Lu Baoyun's instructions, and the Gu family wanting to sever ties with the Fan family...

"Hey, Brother Yi, don't go! I haven't..."

Turning his head, he noticed the vat next to him was empty. Gu Huainan hurriedly got up and caught up with Lu Yi.

He thought Lu Yi had guessed something, and his heart began to pound with anxiety.

"Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and take a shower and get something to eat!"

...

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Gu Huainan was wide awake.

She rolled over and sat cross-legged at the foot of Lu Yi's bed.

"Lin Xiaoya said she has evidence of Lu Han molesting her, as well as evidence of her conspiracy with Lu Han to harm Liang Shiyue. She is willing to hand it over if you need it!"

Gu Huainan picked the least important one to talk about first.

He observed Lu Yi's expression.

After listening, Lu Yi, who was pretending to be asleep, smiled and said, "If that rotten evidence infested with worms were really useful, she could use it herself. Why bother with all that?"

Gu Huainan was stunned.

After a long pause, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! How could I not have thought of that? She... she wanted you to stand up for her. What a cunning scheme!"

Gu Huainan gritted his teeth, rubbing his hands together, feeling ashamed that he could be fooled by her feigned affection.

He'd seen plenty of illegitimate children from wealthy families.

I've never met anyone as shameless and ruthless as Lin Xiaoya.

The Lin family's family values ​​are truly despicable!

That's it?

Lu Yi sat up straight and glanced at the time.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Huainan raised his voice a few decibels, "I heard that Xiaoyue is back. What are you planning to do with Keke?"

“I heard from my sister-in-law that Xiaoyue is temporarily staying at the Fan family’s house. You can’t just openly take two wives, can you?”

“Although we all know the inside story, the Gu family still has to save face. My dad may be old, but he's very sensitive about it…”

Lu Yi picked up a bottle of water and moistened his throat.

He slowly twisted the bottle cap, his eyebrows and eyes lowered.

“She went to Fengcheng, found a job on her own, and kept making a fuss about leaving. Even her godfather’s words didn’t work… My sister probably doesn’t know yet.”

Gu Huainan looked ashamed. "This... Xiaoyue is so sensible, hehehe..."
