Chapter 1251 Correct Answer
There were quite a few furnishings in the room, which was originally neat and clean. The desk, the lamp, the vase... were all on the floor, broken and rotten...
As for Siyan, who was supposed to be lying on the bed, he was now kneeling on the ground with his head down and not saying a word.
The father and son now formed a sharp contrast. The quieter Si Yan was, the more terrifying Li Jinxing seemed. He was like a raging lion, as if he was going to destroy the entire room.
Si Yan, who seemed quiet, was actually scared stiff, to be more precise. His hands were obviously shaking, and his face turned pale with fear. Even the half of his face that was swollen from being beaten by Li Jinxing had turned red.
"Boss, what are you doing..."
Li Jinxing stopped.
Si Yan also raised his head after hearing He Tian's voice.
Li Jinxing ignored He Tian at the door and pointed at Si Yan and asked, "Do you still want to plead for her?"
"I'm not begging for mercy. You have no right to lock her up because you have no status. She has nothing to do with you. Even if you are husband and wife, you have no right to lock her up!" The "she" Si Yan mentioned was Gu Wanqiu.
"Do you remember what you said in the basement this morning? You said you knew you were wrong and promised me that you wouldn't see her without my permission. Look at what you are doing now. You're kneeling down for her? To let me let her go?"
"Dad, as long as you let Mom go, she and I won't be able to see each other anymore. If you lock her up here, even without your permission, we'll still see each other and be influenced by her. I don't know why you hate her so much and want to lock her up..."
"I locked her up because she was crazy..."
"She's not crazy!" Si Yan retorted loudly, "I know, you lied to me, she's not crazy..." Compared to Gu Wanqiu, Li Jinxing now looks more like a madman.
"If you don't let mom leave, I will keep kneeling and not get up." There was a hint of stubbornness on his young face that did not belong to his age.
Li Jinxing narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll throw you into the basement and make you kneel for a whole day and night?"
Si Yan insisted: "Then throw it away. Let alone a day and a night, I won't change my mind even if you lock me up for three days."
"Why do you have to plead for that woman?" He was so afraid of the dark. Had he forgotten the lesson he learned from the fear he experienced last night? Li Jinxing didn't understand. How could a child change so much in such a short time? How could he change his mind?
"Because she is my mother, she gave me life... If you want her to die, kill me first, and I will repay her life."
He Tian's heart skipped a beat. He shouldn't have said this. It simply touched Li Jinxing's sore spot and was a blatant provocation to him.
This situation was much more serious than He Tian had expected. He wanted Si Yan to act pitiful and use both soft and hard tactics to stop him from going head-to-head. Compared to Li Jinxing's toughness, he was at most an egg.
"She gave you a life?" Upon hearing this, Li Jinxing laughed in anger and took two or three steps to Si Yan.
"I tell you, your life was not given by her..."
"Boss..." Knowing what Li Jinxing was about to say, He Tian was shocked and wanted to stop him, but it was too late as soon as he spoke.
Li Jinxing said nonchalantly, "I took you abroad and had you undergo in vitro fertilization at the hospital. You were the child I found another woman to bear. You weren't Gu Wanqiu's child at all. The person you kept calling your mother didn't play any role other than contributing an egg. So when I said she wasn't worthy of being your mother, it was the truth. She really wasn't qualified."
He said it so bluntly, would Siyan still plead for this insignificant woman?
Li Jinxing has always kept this matter a secret, not wanting to let the children know and hurt their feelings.
But Siyan repeatedly let him down as a father.
He thought Si Yan would understand a little bit after he said these words. He tried to find a trace of sadness and grief on his face, but there was none, not even a trace of surprise.
He knelt on the ground, a small man, like a tall pine tree, with his back straight and shoulders straight, as if no matter how serious the problem was, he could not bend down.
He Tian looked at Si Yan worriedly. He didn't know what the two of them had said before he came in.
But looking at the situation before him, he could probably guess something.
Li Jinxing really went too far. It is normal for a child to side with his mother and think about her, but in Li Jinxing's opinion, it is not right.
He is now half crazy, and is so stubborn that he believes that if the two children say something to help Gu Wanqiu, it would be a betrayal.
…
Due to Gu Wanqiu's recent behavior, what Li Jinxing hates most now is that someone uses their body to threaten him, especially someone he cares about.
Now Siyan is making the same mistake as Gu Wanqiu.
Li Jinxing saw the shadow of Gu Wanqiu in Siyan.
Fifty minutes ago, he answered He Tian's question downstairs.
He said that he would not involve the child in his anger towards Gu Wanqiu. No matter how much the child looked like Gu Wanqiu, she was not her. The child was a child, and Gu Wanqiu was Gu Wanqiu. He could tell the difference.
But now, he clearly found similarities between Siyan and Gu Wanqiu.
They are indeed mother and son. The blood connection is a difficult thing to explain. Even if she only contributed an ordinary egg, she still inherited a lot.
The same blood, the same evil, the same ability to manipulate people.
Li Jinxing looked at Si Yan with hateful, disgusting, and infuriating eyes...
But Siyan's face was calm. He didn't show any surprise at the truth Li Jinxing said. He raised his head and looked at him calmly. After a while, he said, "I know... I know that my brother and I are not our mother's biological children... We are just tools for you to miss her."
This time it was Li Jinxing's turn to have a stiff expression, his face full of disbelief.
Li Jinxing was silent for a long time, so silent that He Tian, who was closest to him, could not even hear his slightest breathing. The atmosphere was suffocating for a while.
After a moment, Li Jinxing asked back, "When did you know?"
"Ever since I found out my mom was pregnant."
After knowing that Gu Wanqiu was pregnant, Si Yan searched a lot of information on the Internet in order to take better care of her.
My father used to say that he and his younger brother were twins, and because they were born at night, he was only one day older than his younger brother.
It is very difficult for twins to be born naturally. Even if the mother does not have any surgical scars on her belly, there should be signs of pregnancy, such as stretch marks, etc.
When my mother was pregnant with my younger sister, she already had stretch marks at six months old. How come she didn’t have any when she was pregnant with twins?
Putting aside my physical condition and postoperative recovery, I underwent surgery to remove the scars.
What made Siyan firm in her thinking was that children have sharp eyes when it comes to the feelings between their parents. They are not ignorant at this age. When Gu Wanqiu and Li Jinxing were together, Siyan could clearly feel that Gu Wanqiu did not love Li Jinxing enough.
Li Jinxing had previously used Gu Wanqiu's amnesia as an excuse to fool them.
From the beginning, they were told to keep the secret and not to call her mom in front of Gu Wanqiu. They must not reveal that they were mother and son.
Why?
Li Jinxing said at the time that Gu Wanqiu should not be provoked, and Siyan believed it at the time.
But as a series of events happened, Si Yan probably guessed that Gu Wanqiu might not even know about their existence. If they were mother and son, she would not be able to accept it.
Sure enough, her departure confirmed Siyan's idea. From various signs, he had long suspected that he and his brother were not twins, nor were they born to Gu Wanqiu.
He sometimes wondered, if they were their mother's biological children, would their mother love them more?
But he soon let it go. Even if they weren't his biological children, their mother was so kind to them, and that was enough...
His name and that of his brother allow the longing to continue and are evidence that Dad loved Mom.
Si Yan's voice was hoarse: "You clearly loved Mom so much back then, why don't you love her anymore now?"
Li Jinxing sneered: "Do you know what love is?"
"Of course I understand. I love Mom so much. I want to see a smile on her face. She's been locked up in this place by you, and she'll never smile again. So, Dad, I beg you to let Mom go... You don't love her anymore, so what's the point of keeping her around? Didn't our family of three live well before Mom was around? You two will only hurt each other, Dad..."
"Don't call me dad!" Li Jinxing looked fierce.
Siyan was frightened and stopped talking.
Seeing that he failed to get Siyan to give up the idea of letting Gu Wanqiu leave, Li Jinxing was furious.
"You don't want to stand up, right?" He walked in front of Siyan, his tall body exuding a sense of coercion and deterrence from top to bottom.
He Tian was too familiar with Li Jinxing. When dealing with enemies or traitors, he would show such a changeable expression, with a pair of hawk-like eyes, staring at the other party as if he were looking at a dead object.
Afraid that Li Jinxing would hurt Siyan, He Tian quietly took a few steps forward, staring closely at Li Jinxing's movements. If he showed any sign of hurting the child, he would immediately rush over to stop him.
In the past, he didn't have the ability to fight against Li Jinxing, but now is different. Li Jinxing has just been discharged from the hospital and his body has not fully recovered.
“I won’t, unless you change your mind…”
The same thing, if Li Jinxing doesn't let Gu Wanqiu go, he will fight him to the death.
This temper is also inherited from Li Jinxing and Gu Wanqiu, the same stubbornness.
"Do you want to go to the basement by yourself now, or do you want me to throw you down?"
"Boss..." He Tian advised, "Si Yan just came out of the basement. He hasn't recovered yet and he has to go to school tomorrow. Have you forgotten how he looked when he just came out of the basement? Can you bear it?"
He couldn't bear it, so he was waiting for Si Yan to soften his stance.
Si Yan seemed to have been prepared for this. He had been kneeling for quite some time, and his legs and feet were numb. When he stood up, his soles touched the ground, and his knees went numb as if he had been electrocuted. His body staggered uncontrollably, and he was about to kneel down again. He Tian quickly reached out to support him, and a look of worry appeared on his face.
On the other hand, Li Jinxing, as the father, said to He Tian with a cold expression: "Let him go."
He wanted to see how long a six-year-old child who had never experienced hardship could continue to be so stubborn.
Si Yan looked at He Tian deeply, glanced at Li Jinxing, and then stood firm: "Uncle He, I can walk."
Only then did He Tian let him go.
Siyan walked out slowly, reached the door, and held it with his hand.
"If your beloved mother wanted to kill me, would you kill me too in order to make her happy?"
"No, if she wants to kill you, then I will only hate her, and she can't stay with you." Si Yan looked back and smiled at Li Jinxing. This time, he didn't stop and walked towards the elevator and went straight to the basement...
Li Jinxing was startled and clenched his hands into fists.
After careful consideration, He Tian said, "The child's thoughts are simple. He loves his mother, but he also loves you as his father. Between you and Gu Wanqiu, I believe he will choose you in the end. Don't think that just because he likes Gu Wanqiu, he doesn't like you. Don't think that he is betraying you by saying a few good words for Gu Wanqiu."
"You always treat Siyan like a child who knows nothing, but he's actually smart and sensitive, and can see through a lot of things. This time, he advised you to let Gu Wanqiu go. Besides caring about Gu Wanqiu, he cares more about you. He can feel that you're not as happy as before. Think about it carefully. When Gu Wanqiu is mentioned, are you easily emotional? Have you been angry these past few days?"
Li Jinxing did not loosen his clenched hands. He understood what He Tian said.
The words He Tian said in the morning stayed in his mind and could not be deleted. From time to time, they would be brought out and asked to be heard again.
He understood that both Si Yan and He Tian said it out of concern for him.
He understood their good intentions, and he also knew that even if he forced Gu Wanqiu to stay by his side, he would not be happy. Instead, he would be constantly influenced by Gu Wanqiu, blinded by hatred, and become less and less like himself, and he would also hurt innocent children.
Seeing that Li Jinxing seemed to have listened, He Tian said earnestly, "Boss, I advise you not to treat these two children the same way you treat the outside world. They have done nothing wrong. Even if they have, their crimes are not serious enough. Think carefully about what Siyan said at the end."
"I understand. He has the same idea as you. I also know that you are doing this for my own good, but I need to think about it carefully. Why don't you give me more time? Why are you forcing me to make a choice now?"
I can give you time, but time cannot keep Gu Wanqiu. He Tian kept this in his heart and did not dare to reveal it to anyone.
Si Yan must have reached the basement by now. He was obviously afraid of the dark, but in order to complete the task, he went down without hesitation. He Tian believed that he could not compare to him.
Li Jinxing had already untied his tie in annoyance. Looking at the mess around him, he threw the tie in his hand to the ground as if to vent his anger.
"Tell someone to clean up this place. I'm going to go out for a while."
