Chapter 155 Debt Collection: I Want to Be the Rightful Heiress of the Gu Family
Ah Xin looked somewhat dazed as she leaned down to look at Gu Huaikun, whose face was pale.
"Dad, am I right? The Gu family... isn't it my family?"
Gu Huaikun's hands, gripping the wheelchair, trembled slightly. What she said wasn't true; she wasn't his daughter, and she shouldn't be calling him "Dad"!
The thought crossed his mind. Gu Huaikun, supporting himself on the wheelchair, was either too shocked or too weak from sitting for so long. He tried several times but couldn't stand up. Finally, pale and helpless, he slumped in the wheelchair, looking at A Xin as if she were a monster.
"What do you want after spouting nonsense for so long?"
When Ah Xin heard Gu Huaikun's words, she was suddenly stunned and immediately understood what he meant. He was unwilling to admit his identity at all!
"Hahaha……"
Ah Xin's sorrowful and desolate laughter echoed in the living room. Gu Huaikun looked at him and was about to grab the phone to call Lin Fu outside when he saw Ah Xin quickly unplug the phone and glare at Gu Huaikun with an unusually cold look!
"I want the entire Gu family! Because this is what you owed me! Whether you admit it or not, it can't change my status!"
He pulled an ID card from his bag and tossed it into Gu Huaikun's arms. Gu Huaikun closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before picking up the ID card with trembling hands.
The ID card showed Ah Xin with a clean, simple face, without any makeup. Her long, straight black hair cascaded down her back. Her delicate face resembled Gu Mingxia's, except that Gu Mingxia looked more like Nan Lan, while Ah Xin looked more like Gu Huaikun. However, both of them possessed the elegant and refined beauty that only members of the Gu family had.
The name Gu Mingxin was clearly written in the "Life" column! That was the name of the daughter Bai Hua gave birth to back then!
Subconsciously, he was unwilling to admit that the young woman in front of him was his other daughter whom he hadn't seen for twenty-two years, but reality dealt him a heavy blow. No matter how he tried to escape, what was coming would eventually come!
Gu Huaikun's hand holding the ID card trembled slightly. His gaze fell on the photo on the ID, and his eyes slowly misted over.
Emotionally, he told himself that the woman in front of him was the daughter he had with Bai Hua, but reason told him that this daughter had died long ago when Bai Hua committed suicide, and he could not accept it, he could never accept it!
Gu Huaikun took a deep breath, trying to calm his tone and expression, and placed the thin ID card in his hand on the table beside him, looking at A Xin with deep eyes.
"I don't know where you got this ID card, but my daughter Gu Mingxin died eighteen years ago!"
Ah Xin's face remained unchanged, but the smile on her lips grew wider and wider. This time, the allure of her smile was gone, replaced by a hint of mockery.
"For the sake of the Gu family, you want to disown me? Or is it to ensure the exclusive right of your daughter with Nan Lansheng to inherit the Gu family's property? So, even though you know I am your daughter, you are unwilling to acknowledge me?"
Gu Huaikun's expression changed. He had been a womanizer all his life, accumulating a lot of emotional debts and causing the Gu family to bear too much negative news. Now that things had finally calmed down in recent years, with A Dong dead, Mingxia was the only suitable heir to his family business. He knew that in Mingxia's heart, he was not a good husband or father. Therefore, the only thing Gu Huaikun could do now was to clear away all obstacles on Mingxia's path to inheriting the family business!
The old antiques in the old house are the biggest obstacle. No matter what, he cannot let the Gu family's business fall into the hands of others!
"Just tell me how much money you want, and I'll give it to you!"
“I told you, I want the entire Gu family! That’s what you owe my mother and me, and now I’m just coming back to take it back.”
As Ah Xin spoke, she sat down opposite Gu Huaikun again, her smile alluring and seductive, her eyes shining as she stared intently at him.
"Of course, you can refuse, but I can't guarantee that the video I have of Gu Mingxia hurting my mother will be leaked! Dad, do you think that once the video is leaked, the people at the Gu family's old house will still accept someone who knew how to kill at the age of eight to inherit the Gu family business?"
As he spoke to Ah Xin, Gu Huaikun fiddled with his phone. His brows furrowed, and a chilling glint flashed in his eyes. He stared at Ah Xin in disbelief.
"Xiaxia is your sister, how could you do such a thing!"
"Oh? So, Dad, you acknowledge me as your daughter? Otherwise, Gu Mingxia and I are just strangers, right?"
Ah Xin held her phone, smiling like a little fox, her calculating smile on her lips revealing her true intentions.
"You're saying it doesn't matter if I post a stranger's video, right? Anyway, what happens to the Gu family, what happens to Gu Mingxia, has absolutely nothing to do with me, a complete stranger like A Xin, right?"
How could Gu Huaikun forget that this was his daughter? And how could an old fox give birth to a little white rabbit?
Gu Mingxia was like that, and Gu Mingxin also looked like a little fox. He looked at Axin with deep eyes, while the latter sat there with a smile on her face, holding her phone and letting Gu Huaikun look her over.
A long silence fell over the living room. Finally, Gu Huaikun opened his mouth.
"You just want to go back to the old house, is that all?"
"What do you think? I'm a daughter of the Gu family, so naturally I should go home!"
When Ah Xin said this, there was no special expression on her face; she was still smiling as she looked at Gu Huaikun.
Gu Huaikun gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly with both hands, and if you looked closely, you could clearly see that his hands were trembling.
If Ah Xin is allowed to return to the Gu family, Xia Xia's relationship with him will definitely worsen. However, if Ah Xin is not allowed to return, she will definitely expose the video of Xia Xia stabbing Bai Hua with a dagger back then. In that case, Xia Xia's life will be ruined!
Ah Xin had every reason to report to the police that Xia Xia was suspected of murdering Bai Hua. In China, being suspected of murder is a very serious charge. Regardless of whether Xia Xia was responsible for Bai Hua's death, she would have to carry this reputation for the rest of her life, which would undoubtedly be a fatal stain on her future career and life.
Gu Huaikun frowned, while A Xin had a confident expression and an alluring smile in her eyes.
"You...you asked me to go back home, did that mean you deleted that video?"
"Don't worry, as long as you let me return to the Gu family, I promise I won't release the video content. But... I can't delete it either. What if you kick me out of the Gu family after I delete it?"
Ah Xin's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry. Her fox-like eyes revealed shrewdness and calculation. Gu Huaikun narrowed his eyes, stared at Ah Xin for a long time, and then sighed helplessly.
Perhaps it really is retribution. He protected Xiaxia back then, and now Baihua's daughter is coming to collect her debt! He can't deny it even if he wants to. Beneath Gu Mingxin's seemingly alluring smile lies a vicious and scheming heart.
For Xia Xia's sake, Gu Huaikun felt he had no other choice, and his grip on the wheelchair suddenly loosened.
When do you want to come back?
“Come back now! And you have to hold a press conference to officially announce my identity! I want to be the rightful heiress of the Gu family. You should understand that this is also my mother's wish. You wronged her by making her a concubine back then, so you won't wrong me now, right?”
Ah Xin smiled and spoke casually. Gu Huaikun was taken aback, but he nodded despite his helplessness and reluctance.
"Lin Fu, come in for a moment."
"Master, what are your orders?"
After Lin Fu walked in, he spoke respectfully. Gu Huaikun sighed softly, his voice weak and listless.
"This is the Second Miss. Go and arrange her accommodations, and invite some reporters tomorrow. I'm going to hold a press conference to officially announce... to announce the Second Miss's identity!"
"Master, the second young lady isn't..."
"Alright, you can go now."
Gu Huaikun waved wearily. Lin Fu wanted to say something but remained silent, only glaring at A Xin with obvious displeasure. The latter, meanwhile, sat comfortably on the leather sofa, her smile particularly alluring under the light.
Are you satisfied with this arrangement?
"You don't need to call me Second Miss, you can call me Mingxin or Axin! But I prefer people to call me Axin!"
Ah Xin's eyes were smiling, but there was still a hint of surprise in them, though that surprise only flashed by.
"Lin Fu will take you back to your room to rest in a while. I'm tired and need to rest!"
Gu Huaikun didn't look at Axin again. He pushed the wheelchair around and walked inside. Axin opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but faced with Gu Huaikun's indifference, she couldn't say anything. She could only sit alone on the sofa with a lonely smile on her face.
Looking up at the magnificent crystal chandelier, Ah Xin smiled victoriously. Now everything here was about to belong to her; she had finally become the rightful heiress of the Gu family!
From now on, she will have everything Gu Mingxia has, and she will also have everything Gu Mingxia doesn't have! Suddenly, that incredibly handsome face appeared before A Xin's eyes again. She clenched her fists. One day, she would get everything she wanted. At that time, she would definitely go to Gu Mingxia herself to seek justice for her mother!
"Second Miss, your room is ready. You can rest now!"
"good!"
Lin Fu looked at A Xin walking ahead of him, his brows furrowed tightly. Wasn't the Second Miss already dead eighteen years ago? How come there's another Second Miss now? Judging from the Master's expression, he seems very unhappy about acknowledging this Second Miss!
However, it's best for him to stay out of the affairs of this wealthy family; all he needs to do is protect the master!
"Second Miss, this used to be the Second Madam's courtyard. You can live here from now on. Is that alright?"
Ah Xin looked around, a sweet smile on her face, and her voice naturally became gentler.
"Alright, you can go now! Oh, and remember to tell the young lady to come back when she has some free time, and tell her that my sister wants to see her!"
