Chapter 182: Protect Su Mengxue and the child!
As soon as these words were spoken, the air froze instantly, and then Gu Changhe slowly walked over with the support of Gu Yunting.
Five years later, Su Mengxue met the old man of the Gu family again. Compared with before, he looked much older, his body was very hunched, his hair was completely white, and his bright eyes were no longer as bright as before, his eye sockets were very sunken.
Without waiting for her to speak, Gu Changhe walked up to her, looked her over for a few seconds, then turned to look at the little boy beside her, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, that's great!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Mengxue again. After his Adam's apple rolled again and again, he said with tears in his eyes: "Mengxue, I... I can still see you in my lifetime. I really... I have no regrets in my death."
Su Mengxue looked at the old man of the Gu family with red eyes in front of her, feeling mixed emotions.
She wanted to say hello to him, to ask him how he had been doing these years, to ask how he was feeling recently, and even more importantly, to ask him if he blamed her for not contacting him for so many years and for hiding the matter of the child.
But she couldn't say anything at the moment. All she could say turned into a few sobs. With red eyes, she said, "Grandpa Gu, are you okay?"
Gu Changhe smiled at her and said kindly, "Silly child, don't call me grandpa anymore. Follow Yun Ting and call me dad, okay?"
Su Mengxue nodded while crying. She turned to look at Zihao and told him, "Zihao, you have to call me grandpa."
Lu Zihao still hadn't figured out what the old man meant. After hearing what Su Mengxue said, he still said politely, "Hello, Grandpa."
When Gu Changhe heard the little guy's soft and childish voice, he was stunned at first, and his cloudy eyes widened instantly.
Then he bent down, and his slow hand unconsciously raised to the air, but as if afraid of disturbing the little guy, he reluctantly let it fall back.
Then he opened his mouth, paused for a long time, and then replied in a trembling voice: "Hey!"
By the time he finished saying this, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
This child not only looks like Yun Ting in his eyes and eyebrows, but also looks exactly like Yun Ting when he was a child.
He thought Mengxue had aborted the child, and he was sad about it for a long time. However, he never expected that she actually gave birth to the child and raised it so well.
He was once worried about Yun Ting's future. He knew that Yun Ting was a stubborn man. If Meng Xue refused to turn back, he was afraid that he would end up living alone.
Now that he has seen the child and Meng Xue, he is completely relieved about Yun Ting's future.
Even if he were to go immediately, he would have already explained to his wife in the underworld.
Lu Zihao could tell that the old man liked him very much and wanted to touch him. He then thought of what Su Mengxue had said to him, mustered up the courage to step forward, took the old man's hand, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, can I hug you?"
When these words were spoken, Gu Changhe was stunned, as was Gu Yunting who was standing beside him. Su Mengxue's eyes showed relief.
Gu Changhe hurriedly wiped his tears with the back of his hand and said excitedly, "Okay, okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zihao stepped forward and hugged him.
Gu Changhe bent down tremblingly, his eyes full of joy and guilt.
He stroked the little guy's fluffy black hair very gently, and responded excitedly: "Good boy, you are such a sensible, cute and smart child."
At this moment, Gu Yunting and Su Mengxue smiled at each other tacitly.
Although Gu Yunting didn't say anything, his eyes carried thousands of words, and Su Mengxue understood.
She also silently replied: Gu Yunting, if you want to thank me, then spend the rest of your life making it up to us.
Then a sharp voice broke the silence.
"Dad, please don't be confused. Su Mengxue and Yun Ting's child was aborted back then. Although this is not known to everyone, it is something everyone knows. This child's origins are unknown. You must ask clearly."
"Besides, Yun Ting has been on the island for five years. If you believe Su Mengxue's sweet talk and recognize the child, it will ruin our Gu family's bloodline and reputation."
Sun Suqin interrupted slowly, but Gu Changhe became angry instantly.
He slowly stood up, gently let go of the little guy, turned to look at Sun Suqin, and scolded her: "Sun Suqin, if you dare to talk nonsense here again, don't blame me for not recognizing my relatives and kicking you out."
Seeing Gu Changhe defending Su Mengxue and her bastard so much, Sun Suqin said aggrievedly, "Dad, I'm doing this for the good of the Gu family. How can you say that to me? Aren't you being too partial?"
Gu Changhe sneered, "Sun Suqin, the reason Xiangyu and Xuejiao have become what they are today is because you spoiled them. In the past few years, your family took advantage of Yunting's absence and my poor health to plunder our house. You and I both know exactly how much you have plundered."
"If I hadn't considered that we are a family, I would have sent you two to the police station long ago. How dare you still talk here?"
"Dad, what are you talking about? Xuejiao has been married for a long time and has her in-laws to support her. Besides, Weiguo and Xiangyu are making money, so why should we worry about your money?"
"Hmph, I don't need to explain what's going on with Xiangyu outside. I also know how much Weiguo earns. He earns enough to fill your stomachs, but not enough to live such a glamorous life. You know how much porcelain and antiques are missing from your home."
"Dad, I...I..."
Sun Suqin felt uneasy and was speechless for a moment.
Gu Changhe paused, narrowed his cold eyes, and asked coldly, "Didn't you ask me to be fair? Then tell me what exactly did Meng Xue do wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Suqin burst into tears of grievance. She raised her finger and pointed at Su Mengxue, accusing her, "Not only did she not say hello to me when she saw me, she also came up and slapped me twice and pushed me down."
As she spoke, she burst into tears. The more she cried, the more aggrieved she felt, and the louder she cried.
Without waiting for Su Mengxue to speak, Lu Zihao looked at her angrily and said, "You're lying. It was you who first said I was a bastard. My mother was so angry that she hit you."
"Bastard?" Gu Changhe's face flushed red, his whole body trembling with anger. After a few seconds of silence, he pointed at Sun Suqin and said solemnly, "Sun Suqin, is that what you just said?"
Sun Suqin saw the anger in Gu Changhe's eyes and said hurriedly, "Dad, this kid is in cahoots with Su Mengxue. He's lying. I didn't... I really didn't."
"Sister-in-law, Zihao is a good boy. He would never lie. But you have a bad record. In the past, I turned a blind eye to everything because you were my sister-in-law. But now you have crossed my bottom line. I can no longer tolerate you."
"Gu Yunting, I'm your sister-in-law. What on earth do you want to do to me for a child of unknown origin? Are you planning to take advantage of your brother's absence to bully us, an orphan and a widow?"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Lijuan, who was standing behind Sun Suqin, timidly said: "Mom, you...you did say that just now. I heard it when I walked in!"
