Chapter 155 Three Fathers
Grandpa Lu sat back on the bed. Hearing the noise, he stopped pressing the remote control and adopted a serious expression as if he were watching TV.
The old man kept his eyes straight ahead, but Gu Suixing stared at him blatantly after he came in.
Six years is neither a long nor a short time; it's enough to change many things and enough to make the worried old man look even older.
Mr. Lu started from scratch and had a smooth career in the first half of his life, but in the second half, he was tripped up by his daughter and granddaughter.
Gu Suixing walked to the bedside, and Uncle Chen immediately pushed a chair behind him.
"Young Master Gu, please have a seat."
Gu Suixing thanked him, sat down, and looked at Old Master Lu again.
Old Master Lu felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Didn't you have something to say? Why are you just staring at me?"
Gu Suixing: "Is Grandpa Lu feeling any better?"
Old Master Lu snorted irritably, "He won't die for now."
He watched this kid and his dad grow up. The kid is quick-witted and knows how to sweet-talk people. Before his granddaughter turned eighteen, he thought the kid was perfect in every way. But after his granddaughter turned eighteen, he found the kid unpleasant in every way. Now, just looking at him makes his heart ache.
Gu Suixing: "Just for now won't do. You need to stay healthy and live to be a hundred years old."
Old Master Lu cursed inwardly for his glib tongue!
His beloved was most likely tricked away by this brat back then.
Grandpa Lu: "Get to the point."
Gu Suixing fell silent.
Old Master Lu asked deliberately, "What's wrong? Is it hard to say?"
“There’s nothing that’s hard to talk about, it’s just…” Gu Suixing sighed, “I don’t know where to start.”
Old Master Lu thought to himself, "You're not only glib now, but you also have a lot of trivial matters to worry about. I don't even know where to begin. Just say whatever comes to mind. I'm just physically weak, not mentally challenged, and I'm not someone who can't think straight."
Gu Suixing pondered for a moment, calmed down, and slowly said, "The car accident that Lu Nian and my father encountered in front of the bank back then was not an accident."
Old Master Lu's expression hardened, and he straightened his back.
He always thought what happened back then was an accident.
His men also discovered that the driver of that car owed high-interest loans. He had always assumed that the man couldn't repay his debts and was contemplating revenge on society; Nian Nian was just unlucky to have encountered him. In addition, Gu Jinhong was also investigating after the incident, even more thoroughly than him. Since he couldn't get firsthand information by following behind, he stopped investigating further.
Gu Suixing continued, "The driver of that car was ordered to take Lu Nian's life in order to redeem his son, and my dad happened to run into him."
Old Master Lu never expected this turn of events. His face instantly turned ashen, and he began to tremble. "Who?!"
Gu Suixing reached out and gently patted his back to help him catch his breath, saying helplessly, "I've only just started and you're already so agitated. Are you sure you can hold out until the end?"
Grandpa Lu glared at Gu Suixing, but obediently calmed himself down.
Seeing this, Uncle Chen turned around and went out to call the family doctor to have someone come and wait, just in case.
Old Master Lu had calmed down enough. He raised his head and looked at Gu Suixing with his cloudy, dark eyes. "Continue."
"You know what happened next. My dad became a vegetable, and my grandfather sent me abroad."
Gu Suixing didn't need to repeat these things, but he still said them, hoping to soften the old man's heart.
After all, it was Rui Rui's fault no matter how you look at it.
He can't escape it, and he doesn't want to escape it.
Grandpa Lu said sarcastically, "Why don't you continue? Why don't you tell us how you bullied my Nian Nian!"
Just what I wished for came true. Gu Suixing covered her mouth and coughed lightly, "It's my fault, I'm sorry, please hit me."
"What's the point of me hitting you?" Old Master Lu said angrily. "If I hit you, none of this would have happened?"
Gu Suixing smiled and coaxed, "Don't be angry. Look, I'm getting my comeuppance now."
He pointed to his forehead, which was still bandaged, and lifted his leg, which was in a cast.
Grandpa Lu could naturally see through Gu Suixing's little scheme, and he snorted.
It's a good thing he broke his leg, otherwise he wouldn't mind helping him out.
This guy is responsible enough; he knows how to protect his wife... cough, he knows how to protect the mother of his child.
Old Master Lu asked, "And this time?"
"This time too." Gu Suixing's smile faded, and his voice turned serious. "It's all thanks to this incident. What my grandfather and Uncle Xie couldn't find back then, we finally have a lead this time. However, we still lack substantial evidence, and the driver hasn't woken up yet. Without evidence, the police can't arrest him."
When Gu Suixing mentioned Uncle Xie, he subtly observed Old Master Lu's expression.
Grandpa Lu avoided Gu Suixing's gaze and turned his head away, "Who exactly is it?"
"We'll talk about that later." Gu Suixing's gaze remained fixed on Grandpa Lu. "Grandpa Lu, do you know who Lu Nian's biological father is?"
Old Master Lu's eyelids twitched. "What? These two car accidents were caused by Niannian's biological father?"
Gu Suixing: "Of course not."
Grandpa Lu: "Then why are you asking this?"
Gu Suixing smiled. "It seems you know, Grandpa Lu."
"I don't know. If I could, I would also like to know who the person who abandoned my daughter and killed her is. I would not be able to quell my hatred without tearing him to pieces." Old Master Lu said calmly, "I only know that my Nian Nian has no father, only a mother."
Gu Suixing understood and didn't press the matter further. After all, some things are bound to come to light eventually, and no one can escape it.
He dared not mention it again, fearing that the old man would find out that both car accidents were related to Uncle Xie.
Uncle Xie is different from him.
What he did was only enough to break a leg in Old Master Lu's eyes, but Uncle Xie... even if he lost his life, Old Master Lu would not forgive him.
Uncle Xie has been good to him over the years, so he won't cause him any more trouble. Let him handle his own affairs.
Hopefully, after Uncle Xie finds out that Lu Nian is his daughter, he'll consider how considerate his son-in-law is and won't try to take advantage of him...

When Lu Fengqing woke up, it was already getting dark.
Lu Fengqing couldn't find Rui Rui in Rui Rui's room or the children's room. When she went downstairs, she saw Rui Rui and Gu Suixing sitting on the sofa, chatting and assembling a nine-linked ring puzzle.
"Hit me, and I'll run away."
This was a topic of conversation at noon. At that time, Rui Rui said that fighting was bad, and Gu Suixing asked him what he would do if someone hit him.
"Your legs aren't even as long as my arms." Gu Suixing squeezed Rui Rui's calf. "What if you can't run away?"
Rui Rui: "Call me teacher."
What if the teacher can't hear me?
"Call me Dad."
Gu Suixing's smile deepened. "Which father?"
Rui Rui looked at Gu Suixing with a puzzled expression, as if to say, "Can you have many more dads?"
Gu Suixing also looked puzzled. "You don't know?"
Rui Rui doesn't know.
Lu Fengqing didn't know either.
Gu Suixing continued, "A person can have three fathers: a biological father, an adoptive father, and a godfather."
Lu Fengqing understood immediately and was instantly convinced.
In terms of tactics, she's no match for this scoundrel.
Seeing that Rui Rui didn't understand, Gu Suixing explained to him in words that the little guy could understand: "Your adoptive father is the one who buys you clothes and food, and raises you by your side, but he won't be close to you."
Gu Suixing paused after speaking, and seeing that Rui Rui had taken it to heart, she continued, "Your biological father is the person in this world who is closest to you by blood besides your biological mother. He looks the most like you, he will kiss you and hug you, and he will tell you that you are his little ancestor."
Rui Rui seemed to understand but not quite, then asked, "Godfather?"
Gu Suixing blurted out, "A godfather is someone who buys you toys and gives you huge red envelopes when you meet him, but you don't recognize him when you don't meet him."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Is it really okay for you to teach your child like this?
