Chapter 187 Gu Yunting confesses!
Gu Yunting looked at Zihao's clear eyes, which were now wide open, and could no longer bear to hide it from him.
He suppressed his inner nervousness and anxiety, and said in a gentle and solemn tone: "Zihao, I am your father, your dear father."
After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Zihao would not accept him. His Adam's apple rolled and he hurriedly explained: "Zihao, there were some misunderstandings between your mother and me, so I have not been able to take responsibility for you and your mother over the years. I will definitely treat you twice as well in the future. Can you give me a chance to make amends?"
His voice was full of tension and panic. While waiting for Zihao's answer, he couldn't help but hold his breath, not daring to even breathe.
Lu Zihao already knew the truth from the conversation between the adults just now. The reason why he asked him again was to know his attitude.
After he heard the answer, his chubby little hands unconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes, his lips were tightly pressed into a line, and his face was full of confusion.
All the other kids in the kindergarten had fathers, but he didn't. He had asked his mother countless times, wanting to know who his father was, where he was, and why he didn't want them.
He also felt resentful and thought that when he saw him again, he would definitely ask him where he had been all these years, and he also thought about beating him up.
But when the man in front of him said he was his father, he suddenly didn't want to do that anymore.
Because he could see that his mother had become happier and happier since this man appeared, and he didn't want to make things difficult for her.
After a long silence, Lu Zihao looked up at him and asked sullenly, "Will you abandon me and Mom again in the future?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Yunting froze in place. He looked at the serious expression on Lu Zihao's face, and an indescribable sense of guilt surged into his heart.
He rolled his Adam's apple and slowly squatted down. He wanted to hug Zihao tightly in his arms, but his hand stopped in mid-air and did not move forward.
He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.
He lowered his head and soon his eyes became moist.
They just remained silent with each other, no one spoke.
Su Mengxue, who was standing not far away, saw this scene and felt a little worried. Just as she was about to go find them, Gu Changhe said first: "Mengxue, this is a matter between them and their son. Let them handle it themselves."
Su Mengxue hesitated with complicated thoughts: "Grandpa, but I'm afraid..."
Gu Changhe patted her shoulder earnestly and persuaded her again:
"Mengxue, I believe Yunting will handle it. Besides, I also know that Zihao is a sensible and good boy. Even if he refuses to forgive Yunting now, as long as Yunting shows enough sincerity, Zihao will forgive him one day in the future."
Su Mengxue felt that what Gu Changhe said was right, but she was still a little worried.
Seeing that he was still standing there motionless, Gu Changhe knew what she was thinking.
"Yun Ting hasn't done anything for you and your mother in the past five years. I think it's perfectly reasonable for Zihao to blame him and even curse at him. Don't worry about him. As for Zihao, he must be feeling resentful and angry right now. Just let the child vent his anger with him."
"In fact, doing this can also enhance their relationship. Once everything is said and done, the knot in their hearts will slowly be untied."
Su Mengxue nodded with a heavy heart, gave up the idea of persuading them, and supported Gu Changhe and continued to move forward.
When they arrived at Gu Changhe's room, Su Mengxue helped him sit on a chair, then locked the door of the room as he had instructed. Then she took the key from his hand, opened the innermost cabinet, took out the small box inside and handed it to him.
Gu Changhe tremblingly opened the box, took out the sandalwood jewelry box and a thick envelope, handed them to her, and said solemnly:
"Mengxue, you are about to marry Yunting. This is the betrothal gift from our Gu family. There is a jade bracelet in the box and two thousand yuan in the envelope. You must accept these."
Although Su Mengxue had not opened the jewelry box yet, she could guess that the jade bracelet inside must be very valuable.
She hesitated for a few seconds and was about to speak when Gu Changhe interrupted, "Mengxue, I know my own body well. If you don't want me to get anxious and angry, just accept these."
Seeing that Gu Changhe was about to get anxious, Su Mengxue immediately reached out to take the jewelry box and envelope. Then she opened the box, and inside lay a mutton-fat white jade bracelet.
She took the jade bracelet in her hand, and the coolness spread slowly along her fingertips. She noticed that the bracelet had no engravings on it, and it was transparent and flawless, with an even and lively white color, and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.
"Mengxue, try it on your hand and see if it fits."
Su Mengxue could no longer refuse, so she put the jade bracelet on her hand. She gently raised her hand and tried to move it. The bracelet slid half an inch on her wrist and then stopped steadily.
This jade bracelet seemed to be meant for her. It didn't shake or fall off on her hand, and it fit her perfectly.
Seeing this, Gu Changhe said with relief in his eyes, "This jade bracelet is a relic left by Yun Ting's mother. Before she died, she held my hand tightly and repeatedly told me to leave this jade bracelet to Yun Ting's future wife. If she is still alive, she should be able to rest in peace."
As he spoke, tears began to fall. After a moment of silence, he spoke again with great earnestness, "Mengxue, Yunting lost his mother when he was young, and I was very strict with him. He never felt much warmth since he was a child, so he has a sullen personality and keeps everything to himself."
"Luckily you showed up, and now you've given him such a cute and sensible child. I feel really at ease."
"Mengxue, I heard about what happened between you two during the years you two were apart. I thought you would never be together again."
"To be honest, although I'm reluctant to leave you, I'm old now and I'm worried that he'll be alone for the rest of his life after I'm gone, so I called him and urged him to find a partner and get married."
"But he only said one thing to me at the time: if he couldn't marry you, he would rather live alone for the rest of his life. I also told him to go find you, but he remained silent. In the end, he just said that as long as you were happy, that was all that mattered."
…
Su Mengxue listened to Gu Changhe muttering for a long time. When she came out of the room, her eyes were very red.
She left in a hurry to find Gu Yunting and did not notice the figure huddled not far away.
Sun Suqin hid at the door and heard the entire conversation between Gu Changhe and Su Mengxue. When she saw the jade bracelet on Su Mengxue's hand, the anger in her chest almost set her on fire.
She stared at Su Mengxue's departing figure with a ferocious expression, clenching her fingers at her sides tightly. She gritted her teeth and swore secretly, "Why does the old man give her all the good things? Su Mengxue, just wait, I won't let you be so proud for too long! I will definitely pay you back double for the harm you have done me! And take back all those things too!"
