Chapter 228 Who could it be?
Xu Dafei went downstairs and suddenly realized he didn't have a bicycle. Since arriving in Lizhou, he'd walked to work and taken the bus for work, so he rarely needed a bicycle and hadn't brought his bike with him.
"Brother Xu, where are you going?"
The person who spoke was Liang Youde, the security guard in charge of guarding the gate. He was in his early thirties and was idle all day long, but he had a good brother who worked in the tax bureau. His brother said hello to Gu Jianguo and was arranged to be a security guard here.
Although Xu Dafei looked down on him, he didn't dare to offend him, so he forced a smile and said, "I have something to do with Jianguo."
"That's a bit far. You can ride my bike there." Liang Youde smiled and pointed to the carport. Xu Dafei thanked him quickly and then rode his bike to Gu's house.
Along the way, he was thinking about how to talk to Gu Jianguo about this. He felt a little resentful towards Gu Jianguo. It was his daughter who took the initiative, but as a man who could be her father, couldn't you refuse?
Thinking of what Zhang Ximei said and his three sons at home, he sighed again. Who doesn't want to live a good life?
Before he knew it, he arrived at Gu's house. He stood at the door and looked inside. The lights in the yard were on. The whole yard looked clean, warm, and even a little luxurious under the light.
When they were in the army, everyone was at a similar level. I didn’t expect that after more than ten years, there would be such a big gap between them.
Clenching his fists, he pushed his bicycle into the yard, and then saw Gu Jianguo coming out of the main house. Seeing him, he said, "Come on, come in."
From Xu Dafei's perspective, Gu Jianguo, standing against the light, looked tall and majestic, making him feel a head shorter in an instant.
"good."
Xu Dafei followed Gu Jianguo to his study, but didn't look around much after entering because he wanted to maintain his last bit of self-respect.
After sitting down, Gu Jianguo leaned back on the sofa and asked, "What do you think about this?"
Xu Dafei knew that Gu Jianguo was different now. He didn't want to conflict with him, but he couldn't suppress his anger. He said, "Jianguo, Qiaoqiao is my daughter and your niece. She is about the same age as your daughter. How could you do such a thing?"
"So, you think I did it, too?" Gu Jianguo was still leaning back on the sofa, looking somewhat casual, but this sentence made Xu Dafei feel a little uneasy. But he still said, "Isn't it?"
Gu Jianguo drooped his eyelids to hide the self-mockery in his eyes. At the beginning, he still had some expectations for Xu Dafei, hoping that he would still be the same person as before, and they trusted each other.
but……
Some people and some feelings have changed!
"Then what do you want to do?" Gu Jianguo asked again.
Xu Dafei opened his mouth, but did not say anything about asking him to divorce his wife and marry his daughter. He knew that even if Gu Jianguo found a woman outside, he would not divorce Wang Yueju.
Putting aside their long-standing relationship, Gu Jianguo wouldn't divorce just for the sake of his four daughters. His eldest daughter had been admitted to university, and his second daughter was in charge of most things at the company, working with swift and decisive action. His third and youngest daughters were also not bad either, so even though Wang Yueju didn't have a son, she still had a strong backbone.
"What...what do you want to do?" Xu Dafei said.
"Want money?"
Gu Jianguo's three words made Xu Dafei feel ashamed. His daughter was slept with by someone, but he didn't go up and beat up the man. Instead, he was still negotiating with him.
"Gu Jianguo, you..."
Gu Jianguo looked at him calmly, without saying anything, waiting for him to finish what he was going to say. If he had just asked for money, Gu Jianguo would have praised him for being consistent.
But Xu Dafei didn't say anything after a long pause. Gu Jianguo sneered. This guy was trying to have it both ways, wanting money but also wanting to save face.
How things have changed!
"I didn't do it," Gu Jianguo said. "Go back and ask your daughter what happened. I'll also get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. Also, go to the Human Resources Department tomorrow to complete your resignation procedures."
This "you" refers to Xu Dafei and his daughter Xu Qiaoqiao.
"It really wasn't you?" Xu Dafei couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He felt a little lost and helpless. If it wasn't Gu Jianguo who did it, then who could it be?
"I, Gu Jianguo, would never do such a beastly thing." Gu Jianguo said as he stood up, meaning to drive the man away.
Xu Dafei could only stand up as well, then walked out with his head down. In the yard, he saw Gu Jianguo's two daughters, and heard his youngest daughter say, "After the child is born, the hospital can verify whose child it is."
Gu Siqing wasn't kidding. Hospitals already had tests, though they weren't as accurate as they would be decades later. But in their case, it was enough.
When she said that, Gu Jianguo remembered that he seemed to have heard about this incident in a bar. He remembered that the name seemed to be an English letter, but he couldn't remember the name. But it did happen.
"Then give birth to the child, and then do some tests, and everything will be clear." Gu Jianguo said.
Xu Dafei felt bitter. Gu Jianguo said it was easy, but giving birth to a child was not that easy. How much gossip would his daughter have to endure in the process?
That would be fine, but if the child wasn't Gu Jianguo's, what would happen to his daughter? How could a woman live with a child whose father was unknown?
And judging by Gu Jianguo's tone, it's highly likely the child isn't his. But whose child is it, exactly? Who did such a wicked thing?
"I... I'll go back and ask." Xu Dafei pushed his bicycle and walked away quickly. He was in his forties and had never felt so embarrassed.
Seeing him leave, Gu Jianguo waved his hand and told Gu Erhui and Gu Siqing to go back to their room to rest, and he had to hurry to coax his wife.
Xu Dafei rode his bicycle back home and asked Xu Qiaoqiao as soon as he entered the door, "Tell me the truth, whose child is this in your belly?"
Xu Qiaoqiao covered her stomach and said, "It's Uncle Gu's."
"They don't admit it now." Xu Dafei sat down on the bench angrily, and asked Xu Qiaoqiao with fire in his eyes, "Didn't that person say a word at the time?"
"No...no." Xu Qiaoqiao said with her head down.
That night, she saw that the lights in Gu Jianguo's office were still on at around 10 o'clock. She felt that her chance had come, so she went upstairs to dress up and then went downstairs to his office.
But just as she reached the office door, the lights went out. She bravely pushed the door open and walked in, only to fall into a strong chest. She called out "Uncle Gu" tenderly, and the man was stunned for a moment, then carried her to the sofa.
She was very tired afterwards. The man put on his clothes and left. She didn't even get a clear look at his face.
But who else could it be if not him in Gu Jianguo's office? Moreover, she had seen him before going upstairs.
