Chapter 57 Daddy Long Legs
Gu Heng has never been close to any woman. Even when Chen Wanrou tried to introduce him to potential partners, Gu Heng never cooperated. As a result, it seemed natural that Gu Heng remained single over time.
Gu Jue naturally wouldn't object to his older brother dating, but he never imagined that the woman his older brother liked would be Chu Xiang.
Gu Jue felt like he had been fooled, and he was furious. "You are my older brother, and Chu Xiang is my fiancée!"
Gu Heng replied nonchalantly, "So what?"
Gu Jue's eyes widened. It was as if he was meeting this older brother for the first time, and he felt that this man was very unfamiliar.
It's utterly absurd that a man who has always been associated with rules and self-discipline would one day covet his future sister-in-law!
Gu Jue knew Gu Heng to some extent. He knew that Gu Heng would never say something so clearly unless it was already certain. He clenched his fist at his side and asked, "When did you start liking Chu Xiang?"
Gu Heng: "The third time I met her."
Gu Jue didn't know when Gu Heng and Chu Xiang met for the third time, but he could guess that it must have been several months ago. It turned out that Gu Heng had developed feelings for Chu Xiang a long time ago, but during this period, Gu Heng had kept a low profile and there was no indication that he had any dirty thoughts about his younger brother's fiancée.
He's such a good actor!
Gu Jue said in a cold voice, "Does Chu Xiang know about this?"
Gu Heng did not answer the question, but calmly said, "This is none of your business."
Gu Heng gritted his teeth, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell Mom and Dad about this?"
Even a father who has always been proud of Gu Heng shouldn't continue to favor Gu Heng in such a morally reprehensible situation.
Gu Jue said, "I want my parents to know who has disgraced the Gu family."
Gu Heng asked, "And then?"
Gu Jue paused, unsure how to respond.
Yes, he exposed Gu Heng's despicable thoughts, and then what?
Will Gu Heng choose to give up on Chu Xiang because of other people's opinions?
Of course not.
Gu Jue's face was very ugly. In front of the calm and composed Gu Heng, he felt for the first time so clearly that he was like a clown. Just how childish was he to make such a harmless threat?
Gu Jue gradually calmed down, and looked at Gu Heng warily, "You came to me today to say all this, what exactly do you want me to do?"
Gu Heng smiled gently. At this moment, he was like an ordinary older brother, showing affection for his younger brother. "I only need you to cooperate with me on one thing, and then I will tell you Su Ruanruan's whereabouts."
During a break from club activities, a group of people slumped over without a care for their image.
He Sui generously ordered milk tea delivery for everyone. Midway through the delivery, she received a call from a courier. When she returned, she was carrying an extra box.
He Sui eagerly opened the box, inside was an exquisite model of a castle, complete with a forest, deer, and a princess on the castle, all rendered with lifelike detail.
He Sui's eyes lit up; she clearly liked it very much. She picked up a greeting card placed on the castle, which had the words "Peace and safety every year" written on it.
Chu Xiang sipped her milk tea and asked July beside her, "Did the president order this?"
Meng Qiyue shook her head, "Did you see the words 'May you have peace and safety every year'? That must be another gift from that long-legged uncle."
Chu Xiang asked curiously, "Daddy Long Legs?"
Meng Qiyue said, "Since the year my cousin was born, she has received an anonymous gift every year before her birthday. Neither the He family nor our family can find out who is behind the gift. Moreover, my cousin receives a greeting card every year with the words 'May you have peace and safety every year.' The handwriting on it is strong and powerful, so it must be a man's."
Meng Qiyue whispered again, "My cousin has a wild imagination. When she was ten years old, she suspected that my uncle was not her biological father, and she secretly went to get a paternity test. As a result, she was beaten up by my uncle and aunt."
He said it logically and convincingly: "What if you switched the babies back then? The person who sends me gifts every year is my real father!"
Mr. He said, "You've never left my sight since you came out of your mother's belly, how could I possibly have mixed you up with someone else!"
Ten-year-old He Sui argued confidently, "Then I was born to my mother and another man."
Mother He picked up a feather duster. "He Sui! Are you asking for a beating?"
The paternity test results were, of course, correct; He Sui was indeed her parents' biological child. He Sui was completely baffled as to who the person who had been giving her gifts for twenty years was. Yet, that person always managed to deliver gifts exactly what she wanted, and so, now, she looked forward to receiving a gift every year.
Chu Xiang cupped her face in her hands, as if pink bubbles were rising around her. "I think this is definitely a romantic story."
Meng Qiyue scoffed, "Come on, we don't even know if the person behind us is male or female, tall or short, fat or thin. What if they're some kind of pervert?"
Meng Qiyue shook her head and sighed, "Xiangxiang, you can't be so love-struck. You'll be easily fooled. Don't be fooled by men who seem respectable; they're all wolves in sheep's clothing. Take your mysterious boyfriend, for example. He used to pick you up from school every day, but today he suddenly couldn't..."
As if realizing she had spoken out of turn, Meng Qiyue covered her mouth and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiangxiang. I absolutely did not mean that your boyfriend was tired of you or had lost interest in you. I was just saying that many men in this world are fickle, easily bored, and have dirty minds, but there is still a small chance of meeting a good man. Xiangxiang, you are so lucky, you must have caught that small chance."
Meng Qiyue has never met Chu Xiang's boyfriend. A man who would never appear in his girlfriend's social circle must be the legendary playboy who only wants to play around. Meng Qiyue looked at Chu Xiang with pitiful eyes.
Although she wasn't as popular as Chu Xiang, she was smart and wouldn't be easily fooled by men. If Chu Xiang were ever dumped and cried her eyes out, Meng Qiyue decided to give Chu Xiang her limited-edition handbag collection to show her kindness and generosity as a good friend.
Chu Xiang looked at Meng Qiyue with admiration, "Qiyue, you know so much. You don't seem like someone who's never been in a relationship before."
Meng Qiyue's smile froze for a moment.
Chu Xiang innocently said, "My boyfriend has a dinner appointment with someone today, so he doesn't have time to pick me up."
Meng Qiyue: "Why didn't he take you with him when he went out to eat?"
Chu Xiang: "Because tonight's dinner will be quite lively, he doesn't want me to get involved."
