Chapter 152 Woke up and was fully awake
How is that possible?
Gu Hancheng didn't believe Gu Hanchi's words. If Luo Huining's child wasn't his, then it was very likely that someone else had entered the room back then.
Maybe it wasn't Luo Huining?
Gu Hancheng carefully recalled his collaboration with Luo Huining over the years.
All indications suggest that Luo Huining doesn't seem to know him, and even after a few collaborations, she has no intention of continuing the partnership.
For him, it was just the loss of a partner. There were many people who wanted to cooperate with the Gu family, so he wouldn't feel regretful.
In retrospect, everything seems to have a traceable pattern.
Why is Gu Hanchi so certain that the person he had a relationship with must be Luo Huining?
Luo Zhiwei is not Luo Huining's daughter; she is his daughter with someone else. So it's not surprising that Luo Huining has the jade pendant.
"Big brother...why aren't you saying anything?"
Gu Hanchi was unsure of himself. He didn't know what his older brother was thinking, and he was worried that his brother might have some doubts.
He has no intention of breaking ties with his older brother right now.
Gu Hancheng's face was very somber, making it impossible to discern his emotions. After a long while, he finally asked, "Third brother, how do you know so much?"
"You said Luo Huining's child died shortly after birth, doesn't that mean you knew her from the beginning? Otherwise, how would you know her child died?"
Gu Yulin's investigation is not very clear yet, and there is no evidence to prove that Luo Huining's child is dead, let alone know that Luo Huining gave birth to a daughter.
Because the incident occurred more than twenty years ago, it's difficult to find concrete evidence; finding witnesses is much more crucial. Therefore, the investigation is progressing very slowly.
But Gu Hanchi's confident tone made him suspicious.
Gu Hanchi was taken aback. He was somewhat annoyed, realizing that he had talked too much lately and had given himself away.
In the past, how could his older brother have questioned him?
"Brother, did I say something wrong?" Gu Hanchi took a deep breath: "I know that you have been looking for that woman all these years. I only found out a few years ago that Luo Huining was that woman. However, she has passed away, so I have not mentioned it to you."
“If Luo Zhiwei hadn’t wanted to impersonate your daughter, I wouldn’t have said all this.”
Gu Hanchi said indignantly, his angry expression making everyone think he was thinking of Gu Hancheng.
"Third brother, I didn't mean it that way, don't misunderstand, I... I've been a bit confused lately, let me think about it some more."
Gu Hancheng's heart sank to the bottom. His third brother's words were full of loopholes. How could he have believed him back then?
Now... Gu Yulin isn't on his side either, and he has no right to go find Luo Zhiwei, who is his daughter... He really wants to reunite with his daughter.
Seeing that Gu Hancheng's heart had already wavered, Gu Hanchi stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he reassured him understandingly, "I understand, brother. Don't worry too much. I'm always on the same side as you. I won't let you be isolated or helpless, and I won't let you be deceived by those with ulterior motives."
Gu Hancheng: "..."
He's been in the business world for decades; if he can't even understand Gu Hanchi's meaning, then he's wasted all these years.
He ignored Gu Hanchi's words and instead changed the subject, asking, "Third brother, you kidnapped Luo Zhiwei, and you also had someone steal her jade pendant before. No matter what, shouldn't you give them an explanation?"
Gu Hanchi couldn't believe his ears. Why should he give an explanation?
He's already in this state, why is the eldest brother still siding with those younger generation?
"Big brother... whatever you think we should do, I'll cooperate."
He can't disobey his elder brother now, otherwise... he really will be abandoned...
Whether Gu Hancheng did it on purpose or not, he said directly, "In that case... then prepare some generous gifts and go to apologize in person."
He thought for a moment and said, "I know you recently bid for a piece of land, so let's give it to the Luo Group and the Lu Group."
Weiwei and Lu Jingxiao are inseparable now, and in the end, all the money they earn might end up in Weiwei's pocket.
Gu Hanchi clenched his fists, his face filled with humiliation.
He had already humbled himself so much, yet his elder brother still managed to make him pay such a heavy price.
He spent 3 billion yuan to buy that piece of land; if he develops it into villas, the value will triple.
Are we just going to let him hand it over like this?
Brother... it seems you don't truly consider me family. In that case... don't blame me.
**
On the other side, at the Lu family villa.
Gu Yulin and Li Huaijin wanted to discuss something with Lu Jingxiao, but Lu Jingxiao kept clinging to Luo Zhiwei, which made things very difficult for them.
Luo Zhiwei was in a dilemma. Lu Jingxiao didn't recognize anyone now. If she really let go, who knew what he would do?
"How about I come with you?"
"OK."
Gu Yulin had no objections, but he didn't know if Lu Jingxiao would mind.
Gu Beixiao didn't linger. Instead, he said, "Since you have something to discuss, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go home first."
Li Huaijin glanced at Gu Beixiao, then said casually, "Wait for me, I'll go with you!"
Gu Beixiao: "???"
Does this make sense?
Luo Zhiwei was about to go to the kitchen to pour two glasses of water, but as soon as she took a step, Lu Jingxiao followed her.
She was a little helpless, but she still patiently coaxed him: "You go to the study with President Gu and President Li first. I'll bring two glasses of water up. You don't need to come with me. Can you go upstairs first?"
Panic filled Lu Jingxiao's eyes; he didn't want to be separated from Weiwei: "I...."
"Listen to me, I'll be right up."
Lu Jingxiao had no choice but to reluctantly follow them upstairs. Once they entered the study, his expression changed.
Gu Yulin breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still couldn't help but complain, "Damn, I thought you were really having a relapse, but it turns out you were just faking it."
Lu Jingxiao glared at him, looking somewhat impatient: "I did have a relapse, but I was fine when I woke up this morning."
He could recall a little about what happened yesterday, but not much. He also didn't expect to look like a fool in front of Weiwei.
But he also discovered that Weiwei only responded to this approach, even treating him like a child, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
So when he woke up this morning, he continued to play the fool, relying on his remaining memories.
He wanted to savor Weiwei's gentleness for a few more days... In a couple of days, and then another couple of days, he would allow himself to 'heal' and return to normal.
He didn't want Weiwei to suffer, and most importantly, he didn't want Weiwei to find out later, and what if Weiwei left him?
Gu Yulin was taken aback: "Your self-healing process this time was quite short. I thought..."
He was indeed frightened when he saw Lu Jingxiao yesterday, but he had a different demeanor this morning, so he guessed that he might be faking it.
Unexpectedly, it was a real relapse. With Luo Zhiwei by his side, he recovered in just one night this time.
Li Huaijin gritted his teeth and cursed, "Third brother, you tricked me!"
Lu Jingxiao didn't even spare Li Huaijin a second glance: "What do you think?"
Li Huaijin: "......"
No wonder the boss's eyes seemed to be twitching earlier; he was trying to remind him, but the guy didn't see it at all...
