Chapter 265 Let's investigate Mu Hong.
"So how did Uncle get lost?" Gu Shu asked curiously.
Then Wang Yanzhi recounted what had happened.
After hearing this story again, Gu Yin pursed her lips and asked, "Who is Xiao Hong?"
Wang Yanzhi smiled and said, "She's one of my sisters."
Can you tell me about her?
Talking about Xiao Hong? Wang Yanzhi isn't stupid; does her granddaughter suspect Xiao Hong?
But she wasn't angry. She suspected everyone around her now, let alone Xiao Hong, who had been with her back then.
“Xiao Hong came to my house when she was three years old and grew up with me. Later, she became my maid. When the war broke out, the old rules were abolished. I originally wanted her to leave, but she felt that she was all alone and didn’t know where to go if she went out, so she continued to stay in my house and we called each other sisters. After I married Wan Sheng, she married one of Wan Sheng’s subordinates.”
So she's from an official family! Everyone was surprised and curious.
Wang Yanzhi continued, "Later, the situation in the country became increasingly tense, and our previous identities were no longer suitable for staying in Beijing. Wan Sheng went south and found an opportunity to go to Hong Kong, but going back and forth would be troublesome and subject to many changes. So, after discussing it with Xiao Hong, we decided to go south alone. You know what happened after that. I know you suspect Xiao Hong, but Xiao Hong is a friend I've known since childhood, someone I've been through life and death with. It shouldn't be like this. Besides, she gave birth to a daughter, not a son. I asked the nurse at the time, and she said it was a girl, and I gave birth to a boy. Because the child was lost, she was afraid that if we stayed here too long, we wouldn't be able to leave, so she cried and gave up the search, taking me and the child away from Nanxian. After the child was lost, even though life got better later, she and Tianbao never had any more children, just so they wouldn't forget that girl. But when we were busy with work, they would help us take care of the children at home, treating them like their own."
Xiao Hong, Tian Bao? Gu Yin was stunned. She suddenly remembered Gu Hua's story from her previous life!
Does Zhou Tengfei have a great-aunt?
Wang Yan was taken aback: "How did you know? It's Xiao Hong, her name is Mu Hong, she's Zhou, she's the great-aunt of those two children!"
Gu Hua's death is related to Zhou Tengfei and his great-aunt. Is this great-aunt just trying to clean up Zhou Tengfei's mess because she's worried about him being bothered by Gu Hua, or is she the one behind it all?
"I think you'd better go back and investigate that Mu Hong!"
Seeing her pale face, Zhou Wansheng assured her, "Don't worry, we'll start by investigating the people around us, and we won't let anyone get away with it!"
"Yes, yes, you can rest assured. If it really is her, I will definitely not let her go! Don't worry!" Wang Yanzhi immediately assured her.
Gu Yin smirked, her eyes filled with malice: "After you find out the truth, I hope you won't act immediately. Putting them in jail is too lenient. I want them to watch us prosper, I want them to be trampled into the mud! I want them to be ridiculed and insulted by thousands! I want them to see hope within reach, but they can only watch it shatter! Ideally, they'd rather be unable to live or die!"
No one in the Gu family thought Gu Yin was ruthless. After all, they had lived in fear and anxiety for a very long time. Gu Le even needed someone to accompany her when she went out!
Gu Qingming looked at the Zhou couple. If they thought Ayin was vicious, then they might as well not acknowledge this relationship!
Wang Yanzhi looked at Gu Yin, who exuded a cold aura. Children of this age should be innocent and carefree, protected by their parents. But what did she see? Calm and decisive, aloof and hateful. Since this incident broke out, it seemed that Gu Yin had been handling everything. After arriving here, she also discovered that the Gu family did not treat Gu Yin as a child at all, and even felt that Gu Yin was the decision-maker!
What does this mean? Does it mean Gu Yin is amazing? No! It means they went through many things they couldn't solve, but Gu Yin ultimately resolved them! It means Gu Yin experienced many things that forced her to grow up and become ruthless! And all of these things were caused by those damned people!
Wang Yanzhi held Gu Yin's hand with heartache, her eyes reddening, and said, "Don't worry, once we find out the truth, I won't let them get away with it! I absolutely won't!"
Zhou Wansheng was also heartbroken. If the child had grown up by his side, she wouldn't have had to shoulder so much. She's still just a child!
"I promise you, you'll be responsible for all their punishments! Go ahead and do it, I'll cover for you!"
Gu Yin blinked and nodded: "Okay."
The Gu family members breathed a sigh of relief and all smiled.
Then Gu Yin saw the women in the room surrounding Wang Yanzhi, while the men (except Gu Qinglang) surrounded Zhou Wansheng, telling them stories about their fathers from childhood to adulthood, including Gu Yin and Gu Le's stories.
Even Chu Yan joined in the fun.
The tense atmosphere from just moments ago immediately eased.
Gu Yin, Gu Qinglang, and Gu Le watched them silently, momentarily confused.
Gu Qinglang: "Ayin, didn't they just meet? How come they're already so familiar with each other?"
Gu Yin nodded: "But they have one thing in common."
Gu Le: "That's Dad."
Gu Qinglang turned around and pinched Gu Le's cheek, and Li Mengxin walked over.
Sitting next to him, Li Mengxin smiled and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Gu Qinglang pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "How should I put it? It's a little awkward, a little helpless, and I don't know how to get along with them."
Li Mengxin raised an eyebrow: "Not angry? Not excited?"
Gu Qinglang paused for a moment, then murmured, "Excited, a little, at least I know I wasn't abandoned. As for anger, not really. If I had known I wasn't their biological child when I was little, I might have resented them for abandoning me. But I only found out when I grew up. I already have you and our child, and I'm a father too. After what happened to A-Le, I can understand the heart-wrenching pain of losing a child. Look at them, they're both over sixty. Their hair isn't white, but you can still see the wrinkles around their eyes. They've grown old. I don't hate them, I just feel a little sad and sorry for them."
His eyes reddened slightly as he spoke.
Li Mengxin held their hands: "It's okay, we'll take good care of them from now on. Having more parents means more care and love, and also more responsibility. No matter what, our family will always be with you."
Gu Qinglang sniffed and nodded.
