132: Having felt the sunshine, I am more afraid of losing it!
Is it public?
Gu Jun didn't expect Xu Yao to make such a decision.
There was no determination in Xu Yao's eyes. For her, public marriage was a very normal thing.
Gu Jun thought a lot.
If it were made public, many things would no longer be concealed, and his identity would be revealed sooner or later.
So when Gu Jun heard Xu Yao say that she wanted to make her marriage public, her first reaction was to refuse. But when he saw Xu Yao's relaxed and natural expression, he couldn't utter a single word of the excuses that he had made up in an instant.
Perhaps, this was another chance given to him by God, encouraging him to confess?
Xu Yao waited a long time for Gu Jun's response, suspecting he didn't want to live in the public eye, so she quickly explained, "I don't mean you have to appear face-to-face when I say exposure. You just need to cooperate with me and record a video to let netizens know that I am indeed married. I will have them cover up your profile picture during post-production."
Gu Jun shook his head, "I'm not worried about appearing on camera, I just have one thing I haven't told you—"
Buzz buzz buzz.
Gu Jun's cell phone on the table was vibrating; a call was coming in.
Gu Jun glanced at the phone, hesitated for a moment and didn't answer it.
Xu Yao already sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and she subconsciously wanted to escape, "Aren't you going to answer the phone? What if it's an emergency at work?"
"Don't worry about it."
Confessing requires impulse. If Gu Jun really calms down, he will become timid. Now that he has finally mustered up the courage, how could he give up halfway?
No matter how important the call is, it won’t work.
No one answered and the phone stopped vibrating.
Just as Gu Jun was about to speak, his phone buzzed twice again, this time with a new message.
Gu Jun wanted to put the phone screen upside down on the table but accidentally unlocked it by scanning his face. A photo popped up unexpectedly, and not only Gu Jun, but also Xu Yao saw it.
The young man in the photo was the one they had met at the Finnish port.
——Jason, Fu Linsen.
There is a line of words under the photo, followed by long paragraphs of text, which is probably a detailed introduction of Jason.
Xu Yao was stunned, and Gu Jun was also stunned.
"Is he really the painter Jason?"
Xu Yao muttered to herself.
Back in Finland, Gu Jun said he didn't care about his mother running away, but after returning, he couldn't help but investigate the painter Jason? Apparently, the person helping Gu Jun investigate had already confirmed that the young man they'd encountered was the painter Jason. Jason and Gu Jun looked so much alike, and Gu Jun's mother had been an art teacher. It's possible that after running away, she'd raised her youngest son to be a painter—
Gu Jun stared at the photo in the phone, stared at the line of small words, pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Seeing Gu Jun's expression, Xu Yao became extremely anxious. She forgot about the idea of announcing the marriage to reverse public opinion, and held Gu Jun's hand even tighter.
"Gu Jun, I'm here."
"It's okay, I'll always be with you."
Xu Yao tried to comfort Gu Jun.
Her anxiety was genuine and shook Gu Jun's heart, which had been in darkness for a long time.
Gu Jun's world is dark, and Xu Yao is the sun that illuminates him.
If he had not felt the sunshine, Gu Jun could have continued to be alone.
But he had felt it, and he became greedy. He wanted to keep Xu Yao by his side. He could not afford the risk of losing Xu Yao, especially at this moment. It was confirmed that the young man was the painter Jason. Jason's Chinese name was found out. The shadow of his childhood came like a flood, and the high waves almost washed Gu Jun down... Everyone thought that Gu Jun's mother had secretly left home with a suitcase, but only Gu Jun himself knew that it was not the case.
After a quarrel, his father got drunk as usual and fell asleep, and his mother began to pack the clothes one by one.
She took away her clothes, a few paintings, and the family's money.
Her suitcase was so big that it could hold so many personal belongings, but it couldn't fit her own son who was only three years old.
Gu Jun remembered that he grabbed his mother's skirt and begged her to take him away with her.
Mom touched her bulging belly and pushed him away cruelly.
"I can't take you away. I can't support two children by myself. You are the son of the Gu family, and your father should support you!"
Little Gu Jun was pushed to the ground and watched his mother leave without looking back.
He could cry, but for some reason he didn't.
He is a child abandoned by his biological mother.
It doesn’t matter, he lost his mother but still had a father… Unexpectedly, his father also committed suicide.
For the first 28 years of Gu Jun's life, only his grandfather, Gu Haishan, never gave up on him. If Gu Haishan had just been raising him, it wouldn't have been so difficult. But after his father committed suicide, many people came to his house with IOUs demanding payment. Only then did Gu Haishan learn that his daughter-in-law, who had run away from home, had borrowed a large sum of money from her colleagues at school. Gu Haishan could have denied the debt, but the old man didn't want Gu Jun to live his whole life under the scrutiny of others. So, he sold his own house to pay back part of the debt, and then paid the rest back gradually over the next decade.
That’s why Gu Jun was so poor when he was a child!
Gu Jun's ambition since childhood was to make a lot of money.
He did it through his own efforts.
But Grandpa Gu Haishan's health was worn down by the hard days of working hard to pay off debts in his early years. No matter how much money Gu Jun earned, Gu Haishan could not enjoy a few more years of happiness.
Now he only has Xu Yao.
Xu Yao said she would "always be there".
Really?
If Xu Yao knew that he had lied to her, would she still be there?
Gu Jun lowered his head and read the message, his face expressionless. He spoke like a dry voice machine: "I'm fine. I asked someone to help check Jason's situation. He is not of Chinese descent, but a Chinese who immigrated overseas five years ago. He lived in South City before immigrating."
Xu Yao's mind was in a mess.
I immigrated overseas only five years ago and had been living in the south city before that.
If Jason is really Gu Jun's younger brother, then wouldn't Gu Jun's mother, who ran away from home, have been living in the same city with Gu Jun?!
"Are you sure?"
Xu Yao asked Gu Jun, "I mean, is there any way to confirm whether he is..."
The three words "your brother" came to Xu Yao's lips but she couldn't say them.
Fortunately, Gu Jun understood.
"Are you saying he is my brother? I don't know. But my mother's last name is indeed Fu."
Jason's Chinese name is Fu Linsen.
His appearance and age match, and he has the same surname as Gu Jun's mother, so he is most likely Gu Jun's younger brother. It's hard to say whether he has the same father, but at least he has the same mother.
Xu Yao felt sorry for Gu Jun and was also worried about him: "What are you going to do next?"
Gu Jun smiled. "The next step is of course to film a clarification video with you. You just said I don't need to appear in the video?"
The topic changed so quickly that Xu Yao couldn't keep up. "It's already this late, why are you still bothering with the clarification video?"
Gu Jun corrected her seriously, "No matter what, your affairs always take priority with me. They may be related to me by blood, but my family only has you and mom."
The "mom" Gu Jun mentioned was not his biological mother, but Lin Meixian.
Xu Yao took another look at the video of Fang Weihao's interview.
While she was talking to Gu Jun, the number of views and comments on the video increased a lot.
Okay, let’s put Jason’s matter aside for now, her matter is indeed more urgent!
