Chapter 255 The Late Truth
Having nothing to do today, Lin Du took out the small box he brought with him, which contained the medical examination report of his first child.
He took it to Gu Xingxing and told him that it was his relative.
Gu Nichi saw Lin Du squatting next to Gu Xingxing from afar, and his heart ached. He thought, if Gu Xingxing was still there, perhaps the relationship between him and Lin Du would not have become what it is now.
Noticing someone approaching, Lin Du hurriedly stuffed the inspection report into his pocket.
But how could Gu Yinchi not notice it? He just slowed down his pace deliberately and waited for Lin Du to adjust his mood before slowly approaching.
But he was very curious, what was Lin Du hiding from him?
"You're back?" Lin Du smiled guiltily and rubbed his hands uncomfortably. "Why did you come back so early today?"
Gu Yanchi's eyes fell silently on Lin Du's slightly bulging pockets. He said "hmm" softly, squatted down and touched Gu Xingxing's little house: "There's nothing to do in the company today, so I'll come back early."
"Oh oh..." Lin Du let out a breath, secretly thanking his luck that he was not discovered by Gu Xinchi.
After dinner, Gu Yanchi sat quietly in the study. He recalled Lin Du's flustered expression in the afternoon and always felt that something was wrong.
What's in his pocket and why is he so afraid of seeing it?
Driven by curiosity, Gu Xinchi really wanted to know.
He now has an inexplicable desire to control Lin Du and wants to know everything about him.
He seems to be the leader, but in fact he is just feeling guilty.
He desperately wanted to integrate into Lin Du's world and wanted to know everything about him like crazy, but he always had too many doubts and vigilance about himself.
Once he became suspicious, Gu Jinchi could no longer suppress his desire to know Lin Du's secret.
While Lin Du was tending to the garden, he came to the room and rummaged through the drawers to find the things that Lin Du had brought from the previous rental house.
But after searching around, he didn't find anything. Gu Yinchi stood in the bedroom, looking around, and finally his eyes fell on the place where Lin Du liked to read the most.
He approached and was about to open the cabinet when the phone rang.
"say."
"Mr. Gu, there is a man named Shen Rong who wants to see you." Wen Qing said.
Gu Niechi paused and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"She said her name was Shen Rong and she wanted to see you."
Gu Xinchi clenched his fists in disbelief. Lin Du clearly said that Shen Rong was dead? Why did he suddenly come to find him?
Why did Lin Du deceive himself?
Gu Yanchi was overwhelmed by the series of questions. He hung up the phone and left.
Lin Du looked at Gu Yanshi's hurried steps. He wanted to say hello, but then he thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so he pretended not to see it.
Gu Yanchi stopped in his tracks. He had too many questions that he wanted to clarify.
He hesitated to speak, and seeing Lin Du deliberately avoiding his sight, he sighed softly and turned away.
When he arrived at the company, Gu Nichi looked at the woman in front of him who was dressed in shabby clothes and smelled foul. His face was gloomy, as if there were dark clouds gathering over the place, making people feel the pressure was dropping and the atmosphere was tense.
Shen Rong pushed aside his hair and looked at the person in front of him.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for ten years, she wouldn't mistake him for someone else. He was Gu Xinchi, still the arrogant and domineering man.
"Young Master, it's been a long time since we last met." Shen Rong approached slowly, nodding and flattering, "Young Master, I've always thought you were capable since you were a child, and it really is true."
Gu Yanchi's face was as gloomy as a dark night sky with a storm coming, which made people feel deeply afraid: "Why did you come to me?"
Shen Rong rubbed his hands timidly and tried to approach cautiously, but he stopped when he saw Gu Niechi's disgusted look: "Master, we are old acquaintances, so I would like to ask you for a favor."
"Help?" Gu Yinchi frowned and looked at Shen Rong. This woman was the same as she was ten years ago, flattering and scheming. If it wasn't for the fact that she was Lin Du's mother, he would have had her kicked out long ago.
"My son is sick and needs money. Can you give me some money?" Shen Rong mentioned his son's helpless look.
"You have another son?" Gu Nichi frowned. Lin Du actually had an older brother.
"Look at what you said. I only have this one son..." Shen Rong paused, then raised the corner of his mouth strangely, "The other son you are talking about is Lin Du, right?"
"I don't have a son like him." When mentioning Lin Du, Shen Rong's eyes were still filled with disdain.
Gu Jinchi clenched his fists and controlled his temper: "Are you saying that Lin Du is not your son?"
Shen Rong curled her lips and said, "I have nothing to do with him. When I married his father, he was only a few years old."
Gu Jingchi was shocked and his fingertips twitched.
"Young Master, please help me since I once served you." Shen Rong begged. He really had no other choice.
"Answer me a few questions and I can help you." Gu Nichi suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
"You said, Young Master, I will never hide anything from you." Shen Rong's eyes lit up when he heard that Gu Tanchi wanted to help him.
Gu Nichi tightly grasped the armrest of the chair and finally asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for ten years: "Back then, you filmed the video of me and Lin Du and blackmailed my father for one million. Was Lin Du involved in this matter? Did he know about it?"
Shen Rong lowered her eyes in panic. She didn't expect Gu Yinchi to ask this question. Her eyes turned around, not knowing how to answer.
Gu Niechi raised his chin slightly, and a strong sense of pressure came over him: "If you want me to help you, you'd better be honest."
Shen Rong paused and sat on the ground. "He didn't know. I was obsessed and took the video to blackmail your father. But how could I think so much at that time?"
"I was planning to run away after taking the money, but Lin Du came back."
"That day he crawled back covered in blood, hanging on by a thread. I was afraid of trouble, so I left him and Lin Yue behind and took my son away."
"He was beaten so badly, it's obvious that it was your father's fault."
Gu Niechi's face was as gloomy as if covered by a dark cloud, giving people an unavoidable sense of unease.
He suddenly covered his chest and held on to the table with one hand with great effort.
The person he had hated for so many years turned out to be the most innocent one, and when they met again many years later, he hurt him again, leaving him covered in wounds.
Ridiculous, so ridiculous.
The pain was like a sharp knife, piercing deep into Gu Xishi's heart and messing up his thoughts.
There is no way to ignore it, no way to escape it, and I can only helplessly endure the pain that comes with every breath.
Gu Niechi smiled bitterly. Lin Du had clearly explained it to him, but he didn't believe him at all at the time. Instead, he thought he was lying.
For so long, every time he mentioned ten years ago, Lin Du always looked lonely and did not refute.
His heart was dead, and the culprit was himself who thought he loved him deeply.
