Chapter 78 "Great" Mother
Faced with the chaotic situation in the Gu family, Su Ruanruan thought that these things had nothing to do with her. She never thought that she would become one of the parties involved in this complicated event.
This world is really small; all sorts of coincidences can happen.
Su Ruanruan never knew who her father was from childhood. She grew up with her mother and took her mother's surname. When she was young, she asked her mother who her father was.
Her mother only showed a sad expression and whispered to her that her father was the person she loved most, but she never gave Su Ruanruan an answer as to who that man was.
Now that all the clues have come together, the answer is obvious.
Su Ruanruan knew that even if she didn't reveal her mother's secrets, the Gu family would eventually find out.
Su Ruanruan's expression was complicated. This was the first time she had softened her attitude when facing the Gu family. "Mr. Gu, my mother is not a bad person. She has never thought of harming the Gu family. Over the years, she has never gone to the Gu family and has not received any benefits from them!"
Yes, her mother became pregnant out of wedlock and was a single mother. For twenty years, she endured countless scornful looks and gossip, but she still bravely raised her daughter. The radiance of maternal love shines so brightly in her.
Gu Heng smiled. "Miss Su, are you trying to say that your mother is great?"
Su Ruanruan remained silent.
Gu Heng said coldly, "From your perspective, she is indeed a great mother, but from my second uncle's perspective, your mother is nothing more than a rapist."
Su Ruanruan's eyes widened. "Gu Heng, whatever your Gu family has to do, come at me! I won't allow you to insult my mother!"
Gu Jue hugged Su Ruanruan from the side, and looked at Gu Heng disapprovingly, "Big brother, please be more polite with your words."
Gu Heng remained calm as always. "I'm just stating the facts from an objective perspective. Gu Jue, use your brain and think carefully. If the men and women were to switch places, how would this matter be classified?"
Gu Jue was speechless.
If a woman is drugged, and a man takes advantage of her while she is in a daze, and then disappears after it's all over, isn't that a crime?
Su Ruanruan defended her mother, "My mother never intended to harm anyone. She just... just knew she had no hope and wasn't good enough for him, so she wanted to leave without regrets. If my mother were really a bad person, how could she not contact him for so many years!"
Gu Heng was always very cultured, but today his words were unconsciously tinged with sarcasm. "So, Miss Su, you mean that your mother went through all that trouble to give birth to a daughter for my second uncle, and not only did she not reveal this to anyone, but she also kept my second uncle from knowing that the woman who had slept with him without any restraint was her, thus causing my father to misunderstand my mother for nearly twenty years? Is what your mother did worthy of our praise?"
Su Ruanruan inexplicably felt weaker. "My mother didn't mean it."
Gu Heng glanced at Gu Jue.
Gu Jue kept replaying Gu Heng's words in his mind: "Our parents have misunderstood each other for twenty years." He unconsciously let go of Su Ruanruan's arms, and his gaze towards Su Ruanruan was suddenly filled with many complex emotions.
Gu Heng continued, "Your mother didn't want to have any regrets, so she could leave after her plan succeeded. Miss Su, don't you think your mother's behavior is quite carefree?"
Su Ruanruan bit her lip, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Gu Heng said, "If my second uncle gets married and has a happy family life, and then suddenly a child appears that he doesn't even know about, has your mother ever considered that her irresponsible behavior might destroy someone else's future family?"
Su Ruanruan felt as if she were standing on a cliff, forced to retreat step by step. She said in a panic, "Isn't he not married?"
Gu Heng: "That's because what your mother did gave him false hope."
Gu Jue felt very uncomfortable. The thought that his second uncle had thought he was his child all these years made him feel an indescribable awkwardness. And now that the Gu family was in such a mess, although not all the responsibility should be placed on Su Xuenian, at least half of the responsibility could be placed on her.
A flood of memories from the past twenty years rushed through Gu Jue's mind: his second uncle's kindness towards him, the estrangement between his father and him, and the indifference between his father and mother...
Su Ruanruan steeled herself and faced Gu Heng's powerful aura directly. "My mother's actions were indeed inappropriate, but she never intended to harm anyone, much less destroy anyone's marriage. You don't understand her, so why are you speculating about her with the worst possible malice?"
Gu Heng said, "You're right."
Su Ruanruan was stunned for a moment. Why did Gu Heng suddenly agree with her?
Gu Heng smiled gently, "My position is different from yours, so naturally our views are different. Controversial matters like this should be handled by the police."
Su Ruanruan exclaimed in surprise, "What do you mean!"
Gu Heng said, "I will call the police regarding what Su Xuenian did to my second uncle twenty years ago."
Su Ruanruan cried out, "Gu Heng, are you crazy! My mother's condition has just started to improve, and you want to send her to the police station!"
Su Ruanruan looked at Gu Jue, hoping that Gu Jue would stand on her side, but to her disappointment, Gu Jue avoided her gaze.
Su Ruanruan's heart suddenly turned cold.
Yes, how could she forget? Gu Jue also has the surname Gu, he is a member of the Gu family. When she stands against his family, how could he possibly help an outsider like her?
What kind of wealthy family?
They're all a bunch of insidious and vicious people!
At this moment, Gu Jue saw the person walking towards him. He moved his mouth, wanting to call out, but felt awkward and couldn't say it.
Gu Chaoyang, dressed in a loose-fitting cicada-shaped garment, gently twirled the prayer beads in his hand. He remained as calm as ever, his indifferent gaze falling on Su Ruanruan. He said, "Muxi wants to see you."
Su Ruanruan bit her lip. She was now isolated and helpless. The situation couldn't get any worse. At worst, they would all perish together. She wasn't afraid of these rich people.
Su Ruanruan walked towards the ward without looking back.
Gu Chaoyang said to Gu Heng, "Let's go see your mother."
The reason Gu Chaoyang brought Gu Heng along was, of course, because he was afraid that Chen Wanrou would refuse to see him at this time.
Seeing that his father didn't even glance at him, Gu Jue reluctantly took two steps after him, calling out, "Dad!"
Gu Chaoyang stopped in his tracks.
Gu Jue asked, "You clearly know that I am your biological son, so why do you still only have eyes for your eldest brother?"
Gu Chaoyang was quiet for a moment, his gaze calm. "You've grown up. Don't you understand where my disappointment in you comes from?"
After saying that, Gu Chaoyang and Gu Heng walked away.
Gu Jue stood there stunned for a long time.
In his memory, his father was never close to him, but he also remembered sitting on his father's shoulders to watch fireworks, something his older brother had never experienced.
Gu Chaoyang never valued him highly, but he never ignored him.
His disappointment in Gu Jue was never due to pure blood ties, but simply because the child was too disappointing.
