Gu Chuan raised his head, brushed away the strands of hair on his forehead, and chuckled, "That's really interesting. You've watched too many TV dramas, right? You're overthinking revenge."
Wen Xi said, "Whether it's true or not is actually quite easy to verify. Just send someone to verify the Gu family's identity and Gu Chuan's life experience. He can find a few people to act, but he can't find everyone to lie for him, right? Also... Gu Chuan has used the identity of the Qu family's son-in-law to infiltrate the Qu Group and has done a lot of tricks in secret. Mr. Qu should check the financial issues of the family business later."
After these words were spoken, the smile on Gu Chuan's face completely disappeared. He frowned and said, "You are really not an ordinary charlatan? Where did you get this information from?"
Wen Xi supported his chin with one hand and smiled slyly, "You can remove the word 'stick'. Perhaps, I am a god?"
"god?"
Gu Chuan scoffed. "If there really is a God in this world, why doesn't He have compassion and help those suffering in this world? Why didn't God appear when our Gu family was struck by such a disaster? When I watched my parents jump from a tall building, smashed to pieces and covered in blood, why didn't God come to save me?"
Gu Chuan became more and more excited as he spoke. His eyes were red and filled with tears.
He changed his previous stubborn attitude and said these words, which had already taken off the mask he was wearing.
Qu Wen couldn't believe it. She handed the child to the housekeeper, walked up to Gu Chuan, grabbed his arm, and asked, "Is what Host Wen said true? Are you here for revenge? Don't we have true feelings for each other? Gu Chuan, I thought you were lying to me all along? Are you being nice to me just for revenge? Why? Why don't you continue to lie? Why do you admit all this?"
Qu Wen kept pounding his shoulders and chest, tears streaming down her face.
Gu Chuan clenched his hanging hands into fists, and even though his steps were unsteady from the beating, he still endured it silently.
Gu Chuan laughed at himself, "The anchor you found revealed everything about me. As long as your father investigates in depth, he will find out everything. I have nothing to hide, so I might as well come clean."
Father Qu looked at Gu Chuan with complicated eyes and let out a heavy breath. "You are indeed their child. I once guessed that. Do you really think that I was fooled by your information? I trust you and Wenwen's vision. You have made many achievements in Qu Group. It is because of my trust in you that I allowed you to marry Wenwen and handed Qu Group over to you step by step. I didn't expect you to..."
Gu Chuan said coldly, "Should I thank you? You are too stupid!"
Father Qu angrily scolded, "Gu Chuan, when your parents committed suicide by jumping off the building, I was also very surprised. I blame myself for not noticing this and not saving them. But why do you think they were killed by me?"
Gu Chuan said bitterly, "Do you still want to quibble? If it weren't for your sudden withdrawal of investment, would the Gu Group have collapsed? You took their lives! I almost went down with them. If it weren't for revenge supporting me, I wouldn't be here today!"
Father Qu was both angry and sad. "Gu Chuan, you're in a position now, don't you understand why I pulled out my investment? That piece of land is ruined. If I hadn't pulled out, the Qu family would have been greatly affected. Do you want me to fall with you as the best outcome? I was only protecting myself, yet you hate me for it? Even if you wanted revenge on me, that's fine, but why did you hurt Wenwen? She's so innocent!"
Gu Chuan gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with hesitation, entanglement, regret and annoyance. He knew in his heart that Qu's father had withdrawn his investment in order to survive. Over the years, he had verified everything he needed to verify, but...
"Human nature is selfish. He's already come this far. Do you think he still has a chance to turn back? Even if your Qu family is doing this for self-protection, after so many years, his chance for revenge has reached its last step. He won't stop."
Wen Xi's cold voice drifted beside his ears, "He colluded with Mrs. Tang to have her put something in Qu Wen's food. The drug would cause her migraines, and the long-term effects would cause her mental problems. Then, he could use this to create the impression that she has a mental illness, and then he could put her in a mental hospital, use this child to build momentum, and gradually swallow up the Qu family."
Qu Wen swayed and took a few steps back. She stared at Gu Chuan with unfamiliar eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Gu Chuan, you are really terrible. I don't know you anymore. You don't love me at all. Then how did you feel when you were with me? Disgust? Tolerance? Hatred? Why do we have such a relationship? You make me feel that I shouldn't have given birth to a child!"
"I…"
Gu Chuan closed his eyes in pain and wanted to explain, but no words came out.
Wen Xi said, "Alright, stop making excuses. To be frank, you're a scumbag. Using a woman for revenge is a joke. Do you think revenge makes you look cool? Your loved ones are gone, and your pain is worthy of sympathy, but you're pouring your hatred on innocent people, which only makes you look like a scumbag!"
Father Qu grasped the key point and couldn't help asking, "Why did Mrs. Tang team up with Gu Chuan?"
Mrs. Tang looked at Gu Chuan in panic, hoping that he would not say anything.
She spoke for Wen Xi, "Because Gu Chuan has something on her. He filmed the day he pushed Qu Wen's mother downstairs!"
“Ahhhh!”
After hearing this, Qu Wen was completely overwhelmed and roared in anger and sadness, "Gu Chuan, you are so cruel. How could you do this? She is my biological mother, the person I love the most. You knew that she killed my mother, but you kept her by my side and took care of my child. Gu Chuan, you disappoint me so much. I hate you, I really hate you!"
Seeing the hatred bursting out of Qu Wen's eyes, Gu Chuan panicked. He frantically tried to explain, "That's not the case. When I saw it, I never thought she would reach out and push someone. I was too far away to save her in time. I was the one who called the emergency number. I didn't expect..."
"That's enough, shut up! Do you think I'll believe you? Gu Chuan, you're just like Mrs. Tang, you're both murderers. You'll both get your due retribution!"
Qu Wen wiped the tears from her face and stared at him with red eyes. The hatred in her eyes was too much for Gu Chuan to bear. He then realized... revenge did not make him happy, and the endless regret was too late.
