Chapter 247 You...you can hit me!
After that day, Gu Zhenjun completely gave up the idea of telling Xie Chaoyin everything.
Life was peaceful and uneventful, which was what Lu Yunsi hoped for, and Gu Zhenjun also hoped for, even though it would be unfair to his good brother.
Loving one person for a lifetime is easy for some people, but difficult for others. Gu Zhenjun didn't know which type of person Xie Chaoyin belonged to, and only hoped that Xie Chaoyin could let go as soon as possible.
However, the actual development was completely opposite to what Gu Zhenjun had expected.
Gu Zhenjun knew that Xie Chaoyin didn't like Tang Ya, but children from families like theirs rarely had a say in their marriages, and few could marry the person they truly loved. He himself happened to fall for Miss Huo, a perfect match in terms of social standing, which is how their marriage came about.
Xie Chaoyin's decision to elope on their wedding day was something he hadn't expected.
But what he didn't expect was that Lu Yunsi would be so distraught that she would attempt suicide by cutting her wrists...
To this day, Gu Zhenjun still can't understand why Lu Yunsi suddenly committed suicide.
Everything was clearly moving in a positive direction, and Xiao Lu Nian was so well-behaved and adorable. How could she bear to part with her?
Could it be because he heard that Xie Chaoyin was getting married? He couldn't think of anything else besides that.
So he kept replaying the events in his mind, making those pointless assumptions. What if he had told Xie Chaoyin immediately after discovering the truth? What if he hadn't told Lu Yunsi about Xie Chaoyin's upcoming marriage...?
He never imagined that by helping to cover it up, he would end up harming Lu Yunsi.
That night he held his wife and cried all night, but what was the use of crying? Lu Yunsi was already dead.
He has wronged Xie Chaoyin.
That matter wasn't mentioned at first, nor later, and with Lu Yunsi's death, it became even more impossible to speak of it. There was nothing he could do; in the end, all he could do was continue to keep Lu Yunsi's secret and take care of her daughter.
Gu Zhenjun closed his eyes. "Chao Yin, I'm sorry."
"I won't say it the first time, and I won't say it the second time either." Xie Chaoyin sneered. "Gu Zhenjun, are you planning to take this to your grave after we're all dead?"
Gu Zhenjun: "I..."
He never expected Xie Chaoyin to wait so many years.
After his two children were admitted to universities in City A, he had thought about telling them, since they were going to be in-laws... Who knew a car accident would happen.
Speaking of becoming in-laws, Gu Zhenjun remembered the good deeds his bastard son had done and felt even more guilty.
He wanted Niannian to be his daughter-in-law, but he never expected... Gu Zhenjun gritted his teeth.
What a scoundrel who came to collect a debt!
Xie Chaoyin: "So what do you think?"
After a long pause, Gu Zhenjun finally managed to utter, "She doesn't want to..."
Xie Chaoyin asked, "Aren't you afraid I won't agree?"
Gu Zhenjun choked.
This is an unsolvable problem. Unless Lu Yunsi can come back to life, the rift between the two will never be erased.
Gu Zhenjun dared not hope that Xie Chaoyin could forgive him.
He betrayed this friendship first, and he bears indelible responsibility for how things have turned out this way.

Lu Fengqing accompanied Huo Yao for a walk downstairs, occasionally looking back at the hospital building.
"Don't worry," Huo Yao said.
Lu Fengqing looked at Huo Yao.
Huo Yao: "This is a grudge between them, and it will be resolved sooner or later."
Lu Fengqing didn't speak.
She didn't need to guess; she knew it was because of her mother.
"Back then, Zhenjun was indeed unethical. Xie Chaoyin deserved to settle scores with him," Huo Yao said calmly. "That kid Suixing really did something inhuman. He's sorry to you and Ruirui. As his parents, Zhenjun and I also bear responsibility."
Lu Fengqing shook her head.
She never blamed them.
She loved Gu Suixing, and giving birth to Rui Rui was her own choice; she never blamed anyone.
Huo Yao gently stroked Lu Fengqing's hair, "Even if your father has his faults, he truly cares about you. He's doing this to seek justice for you."
The younger generation may not understand, but the elders do.
If she had a daughter, and her daughter was bullied like that by other people's children, she would also go and settle accounts with that family.
Xie Chaoyin is trying to make this daughter a powerful ally.

Inside the hospital room, Gu Zhenjun looked at Xie Chaoyin anxiously. When his gaze fell on Xie Chaoyin's reddened eyes, he felt a pang of pity and couldn't help but say, "Chaoyin, don't be sad. If you're angry, you...you can hit me!"
Xie Chaoyin asked in a low voice, "If I hit you, will Yun Si come back? If I hit you, will my daughter stop being called an illegitimate child for so many years?"
Gu Zhenjun had nothing to say.
Xie Chaoyin came here today not just for Lu Yunsi's matter.
The person who killed Lu Yunsi was Tang Ya, and had nothing to do with Gu Zhenjun.
Gu Zhenjun did nothing wrong by covering for Lu Yunsi.
Ultimately, from beginning to end, the only person Gu Zhenjun wronged was Xie Chaoyin.
Xie Chaoyin paused, then closed his eyes. "No matter what, I am very grateful for everything you have done for my daughter over the years."
It was bound to happen. Gu Zhenjun guessed what Xie Chaoyin wanted to say, and his heart trembled.
Xie Chaoyin: "But is this how you take care of her?"
This time, Gu Zhenjun's heart trembled, and his whole body shook.
Xie Chaoyin continued, "She had a child out of wedlock when she was eighteen or nineteen."
Gu Suixing, hiding in the kitchen: "..."
Gu Zhenjun almost knelt down before Xie Chaoyin, "Chaoyin, I..."
Xie Chao asked calmly, "What?"
"I..." Gu Zhenjun opened his mouth, then gritted his teeth: "I have failed in my duty to raise my son!"
After Gu Zhenjun finished speaking, he started yelling: "Sui Xing! Gu Sui Xing! You brat! Come out here!"
Gu Suixing: "..."
