Chapter 271: Adversity Reveals a Person's Character

Chi Zhishan was stunned for a moment and glanced at Gu Zhiyu beside her: "Didn't he tell you what happened today?"

Annan glanced at Gu Zhiyu.

He only said that some people opposed her moving in, but did not mention her mother.

How is it related to my mother? Who are “those people”? What happened today?

When it comes to his deceased mother, Annan immediately has a lot of questions to ask.

Gu Zhiyu glanced at Chi Zhishan and suddenly felt a headache. This person's mind was really not normal, and he was the kind of person who could easily cause trouble.

He explained to Annan sincerely: "It's just some rumors and gossip. It has been resolved. I didn't think it was necessary to tell you and make you angry..."

Annan looked at him for a while, said nothing, and looked away.

She believed Gu Zhiyu. Since he said it had been solved, it must have been solved.

So I didn't ask any more questions in front of the two outsiders and prepared to talk in detail when I got home.

Gu Zhiyu turned to look at Chi Zhishan and He Yuan:

"Ms. Chi, Mr. He, you don't have to be nervous. We are here to look for our pet. We have no ill intentions. Now that we have found the pet, we will take our leave."

Having said this, he turned and left, holding the dog in one hand and Annan in the other.

Chi Zhishan and He Yuan stood there tense for a long time, until their figures completely disappeared in the darkness, and then they finally felt relieved.

He Yuan: "Let's go in."

Chi Zhishan glanced at the direction the two were leaving and said, "Let's remove all the decorations in the yard. They are too different and will easily attract attention."

He Yuan frowned: "But you have always loved flowers and plants the most..."

Chi Zhishan sighed: "In today's world, there is no such thing as likes or dislikes. Being able to live in peace is a blessing."

After a pause, he continued, "If some evildoers really break in here one day, our family is so special that we will definitely be the first to bear the brunt of the attack."

He Yuan nodded: "Okay."

Then he looked at the fake flowers, fake grass and fake landscapes in the yard with regret.

Chi Zhishan likes green plants very much, but after the extreme heat, almost all the plants in the garden died, and after the acid rain, there was no grass at all.

In order to make Zhishan feel better, he went to the market and searched for a long time before finding these decorations.

Even though it was fake, it was still beautiful. Chi Zhishan was visibly happier.

But it won’t be long before everything is demolished, and He Yuan is a little reluctant.

Chi Zhishan saw what he was thinking and said, "What I like is vitality. If it's fake, it's fake. Where is the vitality..."

At this point, tears welled up in her eyes: "I don't know how my parents are doing abroad. Will we never have the chance to see them again in this life?"

He Yuan saw her crying and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be sad, as long as you are alive, everything is possible. I will remove all these things tomorrow! Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and let you see your parents safely."

Chi Zhishan wiped her tears and said, "He Yuan, I'm lucky to have you."

Because of his ugly appearance, He Yuan was the least popular of the Chi family's bodyguards. If it weren't for his amazing skills, the Chi family would not have kept him.

Chi Zhishan is obsessed with looks. She likes all beautiful things and cannot tolerate anything ugly, including people's faces.

Therefore, He Yuan was not welcomed by her at first.

But I didn’t expect that a person’s character is revealed in times of adversity.

After the natural disaster, all the servants and bodyguards ran away. Some of them wanted to take away her food when they saw that she was alone. Some even had evil thoughts towards her...

If He Yuan hadn't firmly protected her, she wouldn't be alive today.

There was not much food stored at home, and she had no way to mobilize any property, so she had to rely on He Yuan to go out and find supplies to support her.

Chi Zhishan felt both grateful and guilty.

She shouldn't have judged a person by his appearance. Although He Yuan was ugly, his heart was more upright and kind than anyone else's.

He Yuan saw tears on Chi Zhishan's face and subconsciously wanted to wipe them away for her, but he raised his hand and did not touch her in the end.

"Zhishan, let's go in."

Chi Zhishan nodded and walked into the house while asking:

"Tell me, are these two people good or bad?"

He Yuan was stunned for a moment. Her personality was too clear about what she loved and hated, and her living environment had always been very simple, which led her to be a little overly idealistic.

He picked his words and said, "Zhishan, the world is not black and white. To the Bai family, they are bad people, to some people, they are good people. To us, they are just people who need to stay away from us."

Chi Zhishan frowned: "But it's wrong for them to kill people."

He Yuan was somewhat helpless: "We cannot control what is right or wrong, so don't worry about it."

On the other side, Annan and Gu Zhiyu were walking towards home, leading their dog and holding their chicken.

There was no one around, so Annan couldn't help asking, "You just said someone spread rumors. Who spread the rumors? And what rumors? How did they involve my mother?"

Gu Zhiyu thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "It's your father."

When An Xingye was mentioned, An Nan was silent for a moment before asking, "Was he the one who spread the rumor? Then what does it have to do with my mother?"

On the rest of the journey, Gu Zhiyu told her what had happened before.

After listening to this, Annan sneered: "Don't think about it, that anonymous notice must have been made by Liu Xiulian and the others."

After his previous life, Annan knew this family too well.

Apart from Liu Xiulian and An Xiaobei, who else would be so eager to get her away?

The scumbag father is a cold-hearted man who always allows his mistress and illegitimate daughter to bully his daughter.

She had given up hope on him.

But Annan could not accept their slandering his mother.

Although she wished she had no blood relationship with her scumbag father, at least there was a reason for the cold treatment and grievances she suffered.

But she knew her mother.

When it comes to emotions, my mother is as pure as a blank sheet of paper. Apart from An Xingye, she has never had any intimate relationships with other men.

Moreover, Annan had seen the photo of himself when he was just born, and it was exactly the same as the photo of An Xingye when he was a child.

Although she looks more and more like her mother as she grows up, that does not change the fact that she is An Xingye's biological daughter.

When her mother suddenly died of a heart attack, An Xingye cried like a tearful person. How could it be so short a time now that she allowed Liu Xiulian to slander her?

Annan clenched his fist.

Although she was saddened by her father's cold-heartedness and his indifference to her, she originally planned to part ways with him and become strangers from then on, having nothing to do with each other, considering the father-daughter relationship they had shared for the past twenty years.

But they should never, ever throw dirty water on her mother.

The funniest thing is that after learning about the relationship between Gu Zhiyu and her, An Xingye actually recognized himself again?
