Chapter 47 Li Jianxiong's Secret

Gu Yunsu felt that something was wrong with Li Jianxiong. Something was very wrong with him.

This kind of abnormality caused her to catch up three times.

She didn't realize it the first time.

The second time was when she was cleaning the living room and found an antique jade hairpin on the floor at the door of the master bedroom, but Wu Limei clearly had short hair.

She took a photo, sent it to me and asked, "Does it look good?"

The reason I didn't ask directly "Is it yours?" was because I was afraid that Wu Limei would answer no, and she would not be able to explain the origin of the hairpin.

Wu Limei replied: "It looks good. Why do you like this style again?"

So this is really not Wu Limei's.

Gu Yunsu couldn't help but suspect that Li Jianxiong was cheating on her.

I couldn't help but discuss and analyze with Luo Jingjing: "But logically speaking, this shouldn't happen... He goes to my mom's place as soon as he gets off work every day. He keeps sending WeChat messages and making phone calls at work. He contacts my mom more frequently than I do. When he gets home, Li Yan and I monitor him all the time, but we don't see anything unusual! If he can cheat on me with this, I really respect him as a master of time management."

"Heh, if a man wants to cheat, he can find time for it anyway."

After dating several unreliable boyfriends one after another, Luo Jingjing became tired of men. Recently, she has the free time and energy to insult men.

"Even if he doesn't cause trouble after get off work, he can still cause trouble at work!" she analyzed.

Gu Yunsu suddenly realized: "What you said makes a lot of sense!" He thought of a solution, "You say, should I follow him and investigate him? I can't let my mother suffer! My mother is still pregnant with his child!"

"Investigate!" Luo Jingjing saw that it was getting too lively and was not afraid of making trouble.

Gu Yunsu is not proud of herself, but she did take advantage of Li Jianxiong's mobile phone one day when he was taking a nap on the sofa, log into the online business hall, and check the call records.

"There is no suspicious number," Gu Yunsu complained to her sisters, "and I also found that his interpersonal relationships are extremely simple. The three of us are his main contacts. He doesn't even have a close friend. I almost feel pity for him."

"Where's WeChat?" Luo Jingjing asked, "Who still calls now? Don't we all communicate through WeChat?!"

"Uh..." Gu Yunsu paused, "I was so nervous at the time that I forgot to check..."

She said that she felt that with her current IQ, she should stop dreaming of becoming a detective.

As a result, within two days, she ran into the strange Jing'er again.

This is over, something big has happened.

She caught Li Jianxiong putting lipstick on his lips!

When she saw it, the other party had already applied and wiped it off, but the lipstick-stained napkin in the paper basket next to it, the rose-colored lipstick placed alone in the middle of the dressing table, and Li Jianxiong's slightly red lips, left no other possibilities!

At this moment, she recalled the bag that Li Jianxiong had thrown into the closet, and vaguely realized that the wig and hairpin might also be his...

Gu Yunsu is crazy.

"Oh my god, is he gay?"

"Or maybe he's a transvestite!"

“Gender identity disorder!”

"Anyway, LGBT is not going away!"

Gu Yunsu roared.

Luo Jingjing was almost deafened by what she heard: "Gu Yunsu, please calm down..." She couldn't help but sigh, "You guys are really good as a family."

"What should we do?" Gu Yunsu still couldn't calm down, muttering in panic, "You know I never discriminate against the Rainbow Tribe, but he can't lie to us! Isn't this the most important thing? You have to tell us what kind of person you are. It's our business whether we accept it or not, but you can't lie to us!"

When the evidence was conclusive, Luo Jingjing could no longer joke around and seriously analyzed the situation for her friend: "Don't panic. There is definitely a problem, but it may not be what you think. I think it's not a good idea to guess like this. We still need to... talk about it. If there is any problem, let's sit down and talk it out."

"I don't know what to say..." Gu Yunsu said sadly, "I don't know if my mother knows that her belly is so big! If she gets upset, she might give birth prematurely!"

At this moment, she was glad that Wu Limei did not live at home. If she accidentally found out that the man she loved had become her sister, it would be a huge blow.

Gu Yunsu didn't dare to think about it.

But she had to think.

After thinking it over, she agreed with Luo Jingjing and felt that she was really out of ideas and had to ask directly.

She summoned up all her courage and knocked on Li Jianxiong's door.

"Uncle Li."

Gu Yunsu looked at that kind face and really couldn't bear to ask. She didn't know where to start. She hesitated for a long time with a heartache before she said, "That day... I saw you putting on lipstick, and I picked up a hairpin on the ground... And then, do you have a wig? Can you... can you explain what's going on?"

She spoke hesitantly and paused in the middle, not knowing how to organize her words. She did not mention any of her speculations because she was afraid that her speculations would become the truth and hurt the other party.

But seeing Li Jianxiong's change from shock to despair and then to resignation, her heart sank.

Li Jianxiong lowered his head and didn't say anything for a long time.

Gu Yunsu waited for a while, and finally lost all his patience, and couldn't help but speak first: "Uncle Li, don't worry, I will never discriminate against you, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Li Jianxiong suddenly remembered and asked, "Does Meimei know?"

Gu Yunsu shook his head. Seeing the other party's reaction, his heart felt colder. He was completely put into the cold storage.

She asked, "Uncle Li, do you like men?"

"What?" Li Jianxiong frowned and looked at Gu Yunsu, firmly denying, "I don't like it." Only then did he realize what Gu Yunsu had misunderstood, "Oh, you think... I'm not."

However, this answer did not make Xiao Gu feel relieved, but only made her feel heavier. If she was not gay, then... what else was left?

Then I heard Li Jianxiong say, "I...I like singing opera."

Gu Yunsu: “Ah?”

Li Jianxiong lowered his head even lower: "Hua Dan."

…

Gu Yunsu's brain stopped working for a few seconds.

Then he laughed with relief: "Hey, this is nothing, why do you have to keep it secret?"

Gu Yunsu thought it was unimportant, but Li Jianxiong did not. People of his generation actually did not like to be different, especially in his family, where his mother was always the tough character who had the final say. So he developed the habit of following the majority and letting others make the decisions.

Li Jianxiong's maternal grandfather was an actor when he was young. Li's mother's generation suffered a lot because of this. She hated this industry since she was a child and was determined not to allow her son to like it.

Since childhood, Li Jianxiong has been instilled with the idea that "singing opera is not something that serious people should do" and "cross-dressing is even more problematic", so it is not surprising that he is ashamed of his own hobbies.

But probably he still resented his mother, otherwise he wouldn't have run away to such a far place and not gone back to see her for several years.

Lee Chien-hsiung said: "You don't understand. Intellectually I understand it too, and I tell myself that it's nothing, it's this day and age, what's the big deal about cross-dressing? But that's the logic, but I feel uncomfortable when it comes to myself, not to mention that I'm already this age, it's really... I feel embarrassed when I think about what others will say."

Li Jianxiong is gentle, introverted, timid and has a strong sense of self-esteem. He has been "brainwashed" by his mother for so long that his ideas have long been deeply rooted.

Gu Yunsu nodded and comforted him: "I understand. Others think it's nothing because they haven't experienced what you've experienced, and haven't formed such a personality and concept. Also, when things happen to others, as a spectator, it always seems easier."

"Yes!" Li Jianxiong nodded excitedly, "It's easier said than done. When you really face those strange looks, you will know how much pressure you have to bear."

Gu Yunsu understands how tiring it is for someone like Li Jianxiong, who has to live up to his family's expectations.

He is a good son, a good husband, and a good father, because he is always able to keenly perceive the needs of others, and he is kind and honest, so it is easier for him to sacrifice himself to satisfy others. Over time, he even loses sight of what his true self is like.

This is different from Wu Limei's desire to be a good wife and mother. Wu Limei is proactive and likes it. She has her own set of standards for being a good wife and mother. In fact, Wu Limei is more self-centered. She is not so sensitive to the needs of others. She is nice to you purely because she wants to be nice to you, not because you want her to be nice to you.

In this regard, Gu Yunsu felt that she and Li Jianxiong were more similar, but the difference was that after experiencing several disappointments in human nature, she chose herself.

So at this moment, facing Li Jianxiong, facing his "peer", Gu Yunsu felt a little soft-hearted and wanted to say a few more words of advice.

"You think so because you always put others first, but people don't live for a hundred years, so why not make yourself happy? If you think about it carefully, you will find that others are really not that important, or rather, there are too few important people."

She said that she was not only advising others, but also advising herself all the time.

"I'm sure you've understood all this a long time ago. I also know that understanding is one thing and being able to do it is another. It doesn't matter. I've always been like this. However, if you don't want to make yourself suffer, you must practice and change."

Li Jianxiong was no longer as excited as before, he listened calmly, then nodded: "You are more insightful than me."

Gu Yunsu felt embarrassed, cleared his throat and waved his hands: "How can I say I am insightful? I am just an expert at talking nonsense."

"No, you are very opinionated, better than me." Li Jianxiong praised her generously, and he meant it sincerely, which Gu Yunsu could see.

As she said, no matter how timid Li Jianxiong was, he was a good person who cared about others. Gu Yunsu did not have many tender moments with her biological father. Whenever she mentioned her father, she would always reflexively show a kind of ridicule, disgust and rejection.

After becoming a family with Lee Chien-hsiung, she sometimes wondered if Lee Chien-hsiung was her father, would everything be different? Would she be less unwilling and more peaceful?

Or is it because she doesn't regard him as her father that she is so tolerant and can easily see the good in him?

Just like now, the other party is willing to show his helplessness and confusion, and she will not look down on him for this. He needs help, and Gu Yunsu is willing to help him.

She thought about it, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "I know! I want to put on a show for you!"
