Chapter 447 Causation
“I was born into the Lan family, a family that was once so glorious, but by the time of my generation, it had gradually gone into decline.
The prosperity of the past disappeared like a passing cloud, leaving behind only gloom and loneliness.
In that era when the spring breeze of reform and opening up had not yet arrived, the family resolutely chose to take sides in order to regain its former glory.
However, fate always seems to play tricks on people, and this crucial decision became the fuse for the family's destruction.
Because they chose the wrong side, the family suffered a severe blow and almost fell apart and ceased to exist.
Long before this storm came, my life trajectory had already been arranged by my family.
At that time, I was betrothed to Gu Yanzhi's family in order to achieve a marriage between the two families.
However, before I married Gu Yanzhi, I already had someone I liked in my heart.
But I had no choice but to obey the family's orders, so I could only reluctantly give up this deep affection, put on my wedding dress and enter the Gu family.
Life after marriage was not satisfactory. There was always an insurmountable gap between Gu Yanzhi and me.
He had a misunderstanding about me, thinking that I married him not willingly but under family pressure. What's worse is that he even suspected that I was still in touch with my first love.
Such suspicion made the already fragile relationship between husband and wife even worse. Our feelings became increasingly cold, even to the point where we were strangers. ”
When she said this, Aunt Lan's face turned red and white.
I just said that I would tell Tinghua and the others the whole story, so that they would know that they were really helpless in the beginning and that was why they asked someone to steal Fu Tinghua away.
"It's okay, just keep talking. These are all old stories, and everyone is just listening." Fu Dajun knew that she felt embarrassed to say these things to the children, so he comforted her.
Moreover, in order to clarify what happened in the past, Lan Ruolin was able to speak out such a thing that was almost ruining her reputation, which shows her determination to meet Fu Tinghua.
“He misunderstood that I was having an affair with my first love and has been holding a grudge against me ever since.
Maybe because we didn't have much love for each other, he - he had someone else outside. ”
Speaking of this, Lan Ruolin couldn't help but bite her lip.
It's really embarrassing. If Tinghua grew up in a family like theirs, he would probably live an unhappy life, right?
"Then what?" Fu Tinghua asked proactively at this time.
"Then - the girl he found was from a family that was a newly rising elite at the time, and they were very powerful. When their family saw that their daughter was hooking up with my husband, they tried every means to alienate us, hoping that my husband would marry her."
“But for some reason, my husband did not divorce me or bring her home.
Until I found out I was pregnant, at first your father, no, it was Gu Yanzhi who was very happy.
But I don’t know who told him that the child was not his, but he actually believed it.
So he began to suspect that there was someone else outside, but there was nothing wrong with me.
He and I didn't have any feelings for each other to begin with, so it would be too easy for him to sow discord between us and break up our relationship.
When I was pregnant, word spread that the woman was also pregnant.
This news made me very angry, and at one point I almost lost the baby in my belly.
But fortunately, he was strong enough to survive.
Because my mother's family has fallen, and there is no force around me that can help me, the only one I can rely on is my husband.
But he already had someone else outside. I was young at the time and didn’t bother to please him, so I suffered a lot of grievances in the Gu family.
But no matter what, the child was finally saved. ”
Aunt Lan paused again when she said this.
Because what happened next was the darkest time in her life, and it was everything she didn't want to recall.
But looking at her son who was eager for the truth, she continued, "But because I almost had a miscarriage early on, the fetus was unstable, so I gave birth prematurely. My son was born in less than nine months.
He is small but very healthy, and I am immersed in the joy of his birth.
But - Gu Yanzhi always suspected that the child was not his biological one, so he refused to even look at the child.
Because of my husband’s indifference, no one in my family cares about me.
I raise my child alone, and although it is hard, I have no complaints.
But one day, I was on toilet time and the child disappeared.
I screamed, I collapsed, I went to ask Gu Yanzhi to help me find my child, but he said -"
At this point, Aunt Lan was speechless for a moment.
Those words were truly the most vicious words she had ever heard in her life.
"No need to say more. I don't want you to recall such painful things." Fu Tinghua suddenly stood up and said.
"No, I want to speak out. This matter has been buried in my heart for so many years, and it will always be a thorn in my heart. I want to speak out, I want to expose how cruel he was back then."
Auntie Lan swallowed her saliva and continued, "He said my child was just a bastard from someone unknown, and it was stolen.
Afterwards, I went crazy and broke down, but the Gu family just watched coldly and didn't care at all.
I don’t know where you were taken.
Later, some people said that it was the hostile forces of the Gu family who deliberately stole my son away in order to threaten Gu Yanzhi.
But he didn't care about his son at all. Later, the Gu family said that the person who kidnapped my son had a grudge against the Gu family and would not let the child live in the world.
But I always feel that he should not be dead yet and should still be alive somewhere in this world. ”
When Aunt Lan said the last sentence, her eyes were looking at Fu Tinghua.
After hearing her words, there was a moment of silence in the fire room, and no one dared to respond.
Especially Su Shiming and his wife, they wished they were invisible.
"So, the paternity testing technology had not yet appeared at that time, otherwise such a ridiculous thing would not have happened." Su He laughed dryly, breaking the silence.
"No, it's because he doesn't like me, so he doesn't like the child I give birth to." Aunt Lan said with a wry smile.
"How did you find me? Kyoto is not close to Wencheng." Fu Tinghua suddenly asked.
"I saw your photo in the newspaper. You look too much like your father. No, you look too much like Gu Yanzhi when he was young."
After Aunt Lan finished speaking, she took out a photo from her pocket and handed it to Fu Tinghua.
After seeing the picture, which was extremely blurry but still showed that the person in the photo looked extremely similar to him, Fu Tinghua fell silent.
Seeing that he was looking at the photo without saying anything, Fu Dajun hurriedly snatched the photo from Fu Tinghua.
"Oh, they really are cut from the same mold. What's wrong with your husband? His own child looks so much like him, but he doesn't even recognize him." Fu Dajun said angrily.
She actually said that his son was a bastard. He just wanted to curse her.
"He didn't even come to see the child, how could he know if he looked like him. Besides, the child was still young, how could he tell if he looked alike?" Aunt Lan said bitterly.
The photos were passed to Su He and Su Shiming, and they finally understood why Aunt Lan came to see them.
Fu Dajun also accepted it now. No wonder his youngest son was so handsome. It turned out that his biological father gave him a handsome son.
"Dad, what about you? What happened back then?" Fu Tinghua asked Fu Dajun again.
Fu Dajun sighed, as if recalling something, and began to talk about what happened in the past.
