The white moonlight hidden in a man's heart during his youth will probably become a disgusting existence to everyone except himself when he is in his fifties or sixties.

This story is so simple that He Jinxing can summarize it in one sentence in no more than five seconds. In fact, it is just that simple -

Zhou Chu was a bad student when he was in school. He was the typical second-generation rich male protagonist in melodramatic campus novels who only knew how to fight and be late and leave early.

One day, when the class was changing, he got a new deskmate who was a transfer student. The girl who was like a little white rabbit (Gou An rolled his eyes) looked at the murderous deskmate timidly and took out a strawberry milk candy for him (Gou An rolled his eyes a second time). From then on, Zhou Chu fell in love with this candy throughout his youth.

Gou An: "...so stupid."

He Jinxing: "Not stupid, just a little unsophisticated."

The subsequent plot is still old-fashioned, even a little familiar——

Of course, the Zhou family did not agree with the marriage between Zhou Chu and Xiao Baihua, their deskmate.

They hoped that Zhou Chu would marry his current wife, Mrs. Zhou. At that time, Mrs. Zhou was the daughter of a comrade-in-arms of Zhou Chu's father, and they were a perfect match. If Zhou Chu did not be with her, he would lose everything he had.

Of course, it is unknown whether this was a pure threat. Anyway, Zhou Chu held high the banner of freedom of love, fell out with his family and then made up with them. After a while, he finally compromised and temporarily separated from his deskmate, Little White Flower, and held her hand and said: Wait for me to come back.

Gou An: "I heard that you were also in a chaotic state when you were studying, and you lost contact with your family for three years, rummaging through trash cans like a stray dog... Didn't a girl show up and give you a strawberry milk candy at that time——"

He Jinxing: “?”

He Jinxing: "I don't eat candy."

He paused, his eyes swept over Gou An's open collar.

He Jinxing: "But the taste has changed a little bit recently."

Gou An covered his collar and reached out to grab his underwear from the passenger seat under the man's nose. With the man's face flashing a signal of "Do you need help?", he gave him a kick in resistance as a silent response.

Gou An: "Let's talk about this. I don't accept that you have a white moonlight. A few years later, I will run into you on the street across a crossroads."

He Jinxing's expression was calm: "No."

How can one have the energy to pursue romantic affairs when he can't even afford to eat? Gou An sneered, "Before today, Zhou Chu would never admit that he had a first love."

It was minus seven degrees Celsius outside. He Jinxing didn't know why they had to sit in the pitch-black back seat of the car with their clothes on and the heating gradually going out to discuss such meaningless things.

"If I said no, then I mean no."

The man seemed to have transformed into a large cat. He stretched out his claws to touch Gou An as if he was fiddling with a toy. When she was shaken by his touching, he reached out and opened the underwear she had just put on.

"You can go back and find a lawyer to do it justice. If anyone unexpected appears at any time or place in the future, all my assets, including He's and overseas assets, including but not limited to real estate, cash, and equity, will be transferred to your name without any conditions."

As he spoke, he picked up Gou An and placed him back on his lap.

The zipper was still open.

The sudden warm and seamless connection made Gou An come to his senses and feel shy.

She raised her waist and muttered, "I suggest that the line in the church about never abandoning each other no matter old age, sickness or death, rich or poor be replaced with this one," while pressing down He Jinxing's hand which had gone under the hem of her clothes.

In the darkness, the man raised his head and stared at her with flickering eyes.

"No more. I want to go see Zhou Yutong."

“…”

Gou An pulled his hand out, and the latter struggled for a bit, but ultimately was unable to overcome the extremely uncooperative person in his arms. His hand was forced to slide down, slipping off the milk candy that he had recently fallen in love with after the taste changed, and in the end he could only hold her waist.

"The Zhou family must be in chaos tonight. What are you going to do?"

"Based on my personality, if something like this happened in my house, I would probably go crazy and tear the house apart before running away."

“…”

"So Zhou Yutong will be there too." Gou An said, "I'll go pick her up."

"No need." He Jinxing reminded, "Chen Jinli is there."

"I don't believe him."

Gou An suddenly hooked his hand around the man's neck and moved closer to him, touching his chin which had a little stubble growing on it. "You should play with him less."

He Jinxing chuckled. He found it a bit novel that his social life was suddenly managed when he was nearly thirty years old.

But after a brief conversation, Gou An still failed to convince He Jinxing.

In this matter, Mr. He showed a rare strong side. Even when Gou An finally climbed up from him unhappily and hid aside to put on his clothes, he did not come over to say a few nice words like he did before.

Instead, he waited until Gou An had put on his clothes, opened the car door, held the door with one hand and said to the person in the car who had not yet come to his senses: "I'll take you home."

Seeing that his silent protest was ineffective, Gou An shrank his legs, but still insisted on his request: "I want to go to Zhou's house to take a look."

He Jinxing bent down, held her waist and knees and carried her out horizontally. He didn't care how the person in his arms tickled him, he just turned his face away a little bit, and then personally sent her back to the door of her home.

Put the person down and ring the doorbell.

The door opened, and the person who had been making a lot of noise was handed over to Gou Yu and Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan, who was wearing home clothes, looked worried tonight. Mrs. Zhou had a good relationship with her and they often played cards, went shopping and had afternoon tea together.

Faced with his daughter's request to visit Zhou's house, Jiang Yuan acted more assertive than He Jinxing and pulled the two arms hanging around his neck off, "You are not allowed to go."

Gou An finally calmed down.

He Jinxing clapped his hands in relief and thought, it's a good thing that my mother-in-law is next door, I'm so happy.

At this point, the handover is complete.

The Zhou family was in chaos tonight.

In fact, for people like them, it is not earth-shattering to have an older brother or sister who they have never met suddenly appear in the sky when they are living a good life. Half-brothers, half-sisters, separated as teenagers, blood test to identify relatives...

Gossip and scandals are always the main theme of the upper class society. If you listen carefully, you may find that anyone's story is enough to be adapted into a 60-episode TVB large-scale TV series.

After the pupils trembled and the extreme surprise, all that was left was to think about how to clean up the mess.

——But this is all based on the premise that all those involved in the incident are emotionally stable and able to think about their greatest interests first.

This obviously does not include Zhou Yutong.

Zhou Yutong never expected that her life would change so drastically in one night. It all started when Lu Wan rang her doorbell with his red, frozen hands, and then met Zhou Chu in the corridor who had just returned from a social event.

The moment he saw her face, the man, who was over 40 years old at the time, was stunned. "Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake?" just went on like this.

When she opened the door, Zhou Yutong saw the briefcase in Zhou Chu's hand fall dramatically, and then she held Lu Wan's hand and asked, "What's your mother's name?"

Zhou Yutong, who was standing at the door, was stunned, her mind was blank with shock. In her panic, she discovered absurdly that Lu Wan and her father Zhou Chu's noses, even the curvature of the groove under the nose tip, seemed to be carved from the same mold.

At this time, there was not even the thought of “No way”.

It’s like when people are most scared they can’t even scream.

Zhou Yutong numbly followed Lu Wan, Zhou Chu and her mother Xu Hui back to the hall. She suddenly realized that the trivial matter of compensation for mental damage was no longer the point tonight.

"My mother's name is Lu Qing," Lu Wan asked, "Sir, do you know him?"

In the next half hour, Zhou Yutong listened to the entire magical story——

The marriage between Xu Hui and Zhou Chu was not completely a cold one. Xu Hui liked Zhou Chu. Although Zhou Chu always treated her as a younger sister, the two were childhood sweethearts and had a good relationship. If it weren't for Lu Qing, their marriage would have been considered a harmonious marriage among wealthy families.

The only contradiction is about Lu Qing, who is like the fuse of a firecracker, which will explode at any time.

After they got married, Xu Hui still couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes and kept a close eye on Zhou Chu all the time...but she couldn't stop him. One day, when Zhou Chu was entertaining people in a high-end restaurant, Lu Qing, who was serving dishes in the restaurant, fainted in his arms.

After a brief separation, they met again by chance, and their love was so intense. After learning that Lu Qing had a kidney disease, Zhou Chu couldn't let go, so he immediately changed Lu Qing's place to live, gave him money, and gave him supplements...

At this time, Zhou Yanji could already walk.

The year Zhou Yanji went to kindergarten, Lu Qing, whose condition was getting worse, became pregnant. She shouldn't have given birth to the child, but she insisted on having it. Zhou Chu concealed the truth and provided Lu Qing with the best medical resources, and finally made it to the day when Lu Qing gave birth.

It was on this day that Xu Hui knew everything.

That was the first time that Xu Hui and Zhou Chu had a falling out in front of everyone. Xu Hui, standing outside the delivery room with Zhou Yanji's small schoolbag in her hand, collapsed and filed for divorce on the spot.

The one to be born in the delivery room was her own child, but Zhou Yanji was also her own child. If Zhou Chu's old father knew about giving up his own grandson for a child born by a woman who had no status outside, he would probably skin him alive.

Zhou Chu did not agree to divorce and promised to cut off contact with Lu Qing from then on, but hoped to keep the child born by Lu Qing.

Xu Hui slapped him without hesitation and asked him what he was daydreaming about.

Mr. Zhou, who was a well-known figure outside, was stunned. At this time, news came from the delivery room. Pregnancy consumes physical energy, and many medicines are completely useless. Lu Qing was already at the end of her life. She eventually did not make it and died after giving birth to the child.

Xu Hui felt that Lu Qing and Zhou Chu were both idiots. She didn't just hate Lu Qing, nor did she sympathize with her. She just felt that it was not worth it to risk her life for a man who was destined not to belong to her.

But it must be said that Lu Qing's performance completely transformed her from being the white moonlight to the bright and clear moon that can't be erased in Zhou Chu's heart.

But the person is already gone, and there is no point in saying these things. Under the strong pressure of Xu Hui to make a choice, Zhou Chu gave the Lu family a large sum of money, enough for Lu Wan to grow up well. Then he only had time to take a look at his newborn daughter before the child was taken away by Lu Qing's mother.

The butterfly birthmark is their only memory of the child.

This matter has come to an end.

Zhou Chu never imagined that Lu Qing's illness was hereditary, so when Lu Wan was in kindergarten, Lu Qing's mother also became ill as she got older.

If she died without treatment, Lu Wan would have to send her to an orphanage and treat her...

But the money Zhou Chu gave was not enough for treatment.

So when Zhou Chu thought Lu Wan could live well with his money, he found that she was not living well at all.

I often hear Zhou Yutong say at home that Gou An has a mortal enemy, and that mortal enemy is fighting with them. From Gou An's cat to the opening dance of the coming-of-age ceremony, and a series of trivial matters...

He had never taken it to heart before and would occasionally say something about it, but now that Gou An is being watched by He Jinxing, that girl’s life would probably be even more difficult.

He never expected that the person he had commented so lightly on turned out to be his own daughter.

At this moment, Zhou Chu, a middle-aged man, felt his heart broken!

Not only did he feel sorry for his own flesh and blood, but he also felt that his compromises over the years had become a joke. Looking at the face in front of him that looked like his first love but was now covered in scratches, he couldn't believe it.

How dare Zhou Yutong?

At that moment, I felt that the "daughter" I had raised for 19 years, who had been spoiled by me, had suddenly turned into something hateful.

But he held back at the moment. When he calmly and simply told Lu Wan, without consulting anyone, that he was the father and would move back to the Zhou family, everyone, including Lu Wan, was stunned.

Zhou Chu: "In order for Grandpa to accept you, you may need to do a paternity test later--"

Zhou Yutong jumped up: "Dad?! Are you crazy? You just picked up a random person and said she was your daughter! You don't know what kind of person she is, how can I--"

Zhou Chu turned around and asked coldly: "What kind of person is she?"

Zhou Yutong was stunned by her father's unprecedented indifference. After a while, she subconsciously said, "What kind of character is this? He's like an outsider forcing his way into my life, an indestructible parasite. I can't tell what's disgusting about him, but he just makes me feel—"

She didn't finish her words.

Zhou Chu stood up quickly: "I don't allow you to talk about my daughter like that!"

Xu Hui, who had been sitting on the sofa with an indifferent expression from beginning to end, also stood up and raised her voice to warn: "Zhou Chu!"

At this time, Zhou Chu's emotions had reached a peak. Looking at his aggressive wife in front of him, all the years of living together suddenly turned into ashes. Her face perfectly overlapped with the face she had when she was holding her son's schoolbag in front of the delivery room many years ago and threatening him with divorce.

Equally hideous!

Zhou Chu yelled back regardless: "What do you want me to do? What have I done wrong? Xu Hui, haven't you pushed me hard enough over the years? I, Zhou Chu, have only had one daughter from beginning to end, the daughter Lu Qing left for me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire living room fell into dead silence.

The door was opened, and Zhou Yanji, who had just returned from outside, saw the chaotic scene in the living room. He looked at Lu Wan sitting on the sofa and Zhou Yutong holding Xu Hui's hand tightly.

To be honest, although Zhou Yutong was noisy and willful, and sometimes Zhou Yanji couldn't help but want to step on her and beat her up, he had never seen such an expression on Zhou Yutong's face in his life.

Shocked, confused, stupefied, overwhelmed and many other things, it was as if all the negative emotions in the world appeared in her.

The face that normally would scream "How exciting" when the world was about to end turned pale as a sheet of paper. Tears quickly filled her eyes. She asked, "Dad, what did you say?"

Zhou Chu was breathing heavily, his eyes were red.

"You said you only have one daughter, Lu Wan, then who am I?"

Zhou Yanji was so shocked by the amount of information in this sentence that he couldn't even walk. He stood at the door of his house, turned around blankly and asked the housekeeper, "What are they doing?"

No one answered his question.

The hall was completely silent, with only Zhou Yutong's trembling voice. She raised her voice, and this time it was more sharp than before.

"Tell me, Lu Wan is your daughter, then who am I?!"

Zhou Chu was questioned and couldn't answer. Seeing his daughter, whom he had raised for more than ten years, in tears, he was shaken for a moment.

But soon, he turned his head to look at Lu Wan's face. The wound on her face...

As if he was extremely afraid of the situation before him, and as if he didn't know how things had turned out like this, Lu Wan hunched his shoulders, staring at Zhou Chu with fearful eyes, looking helpless and innocent.

Seeing this, Zhou Chu's blood boiled, and his mind was full of what he had done -

He, Zhou Chu, abandoned Lu Qing and her daughter, and now he picked up a bastard and raised him as a baby. This bastard is ungrateful and bullies his biological daughter! "Xu Hui adopted you from the welfare home to get angry with me." Zhou Chu heard his own cold voice, "She said that she gave away a daughter, so she would give me a daughter."

Xu Hui felt the hand that had been holding her sleeve loosen.

Xu Hui looked at Zhou Chu blankly, as if she were looking at a stranger, and then turned to Zhou Yutong——

After so many years, the girl in front of them, who had no blood relationship with them, actually seemed to be a little like her no matter how she looked at her.

The first thing she would call out is "Mom". She has been the one who is most capable of acting like a spoiled child since she was young. She rides on her brother's head and bullies him. After getting into trouble, she knows to save the snacks given by the school for her brother after school. Last week, she hung on her father's neck and swung on the swing, wanting a motorcycle and a pony...

Xu Hui called out her daughter's name in a trembling voice.

But she looked like a frightened bird, or like she was completely allergic to the name. Zhou Yutong jumped up and rushed towards the gate.

When he rushed out, he bumped into Zhou Yanji.

Zhou Yanji reacted and was about to chase after him.

Just as he took a step, he was stopped by Zhou Chu. The middle-aged man rubbed his brows, his headache was about to explode, and waved to Zhou Yan: "Don't chase her, you heard it too, Zhou Yutong is not a child of the Zhou family, your real sister is here... Come here and meet Wanwan, I heard that she is studying in the same university as you, in the future you-"

"Are you done?"

Zhou Yanji interrupted his father's long speech.

Turning his head, the young man looked at Lu Wan, who was lying on the sofa, looking back at him with red eyes and fear. His face was cold.

"My sister is the only one. She just ran out like a madman."

Zhou Yanji said to her word by word:

"Who the hell do you think you are the daughter of a mistress? If you dare to mess with my family, I will kill you."
