Chapter 2377 Countless Sins
But who Xiao Jun's biological father is remains a mystery.
The Gu family is not a single-line family. Gu Changhai has an older brother who has passed away, and he also has several cousins. They could all be Xiao Jun's biological father.
Perhaps only Xiao Chongyang himself knows why he chose the Gu family bloodline.
Gu Changhai did not intend to explore Xiao Chongyang's inner thoughts any further, nor did he want to continue investigating who Xiao Jun's biological father was.
Because Gu Changhai's biological brother has passed away many years ago and was frail and sickly during his lifetime, it is unlikely that Xiao Jun is his eldest brother's flesh and blood.
In addition, Gu Changhai's cousins who are related by blood also have their own families. If a son suddenly appears, it may have a certain impact on their families.
Xiao Jun might also be affected to some extent.
Some truths should never be revealed, perhaps this is the best way to protect everyone.
Anyway, knowing that Xiao Jun is not Wanqing's child is enough...
He had talked enough with Xiao Chongyang today. He had originally just wanted to confirm Xiao Chongyang's condition. Seeing that his physical condition was relatively stable and there seemed no possibility of him causing any trouble, Gu Changhai was temporarily relieved.
He put out his cigarette and prepared to leave the deck.
As he walked down the deck, he stopped again and said to Xiao Chongyang, "I'm sorry for what happened back then."
Xiao Chongyang stared at him and sneered.
"If you were given another chance, would you make a different choice?"
Gu Changhai thought for a moment and said frankly, "Give me another chance, and I'd rather compete with you fairly."
"Then you'll lose miserably."
"I thought so back then," Gu Changhai paused, "but now that I think about it, it's not necessarily true."
Back then, Gu Changhai always thought that Wanqing loved Xiao Chongyang and he had no chance.
But the more he learned about Xiao Chongyang's past, the more Gu Changhai felt that he might be more suitable for Wanqing than Xiao Chongyang.
Unfortunately, the past is past, and it is meaningless to make any assumptions now.
He would rather not think about meaningless things.
…
After Gu Changhai left, Xiao Chongyang sat on the deck for a long time.
The cancer cells that had spread throughout his body were eating away at him.
The body is in pain, but when the pain reaches its limit, the mind seems to become numb, temporarily forgetting the pain, and the soul temporarily leaving the body.
He just stared at the sea in the distance. Under the moonlight, on the sparkling sea, he seemed to see the story of his life being played out.
Countless past events, countless regrets.
Countless sins, countless injuries.
There are things he inflicted on others, and there are things he suffered...
He thought of his mother again, who always wore her old red dress.
I also remembered her sitting alone in front of the shabby dressing table, putting on and taking off makeup over and over again.
The men came and left, leaving her with some cash or a silver necklace. If she was lucky, there would be a gold ring. Her mother would bite the gold and then carefully put it away in the innermost compartment of her drawer. She would buy him a chicken leg the next day.
Xiao Chongyang hated those men and thought they smelled bad.
Can we not let them come?
The mother snorted coldly, "Then what will we eat, drink, and live in?"
"I'm going to make money!"
The mother didn't even bother to respond. She pushed him away, took off her skirt, walked to the bathroom, picked up the shower head on the ground, and started taking a shower.
He looked at the scars on his mother's body, rushed out with a kitchen knife, and caught up with the man who had just left.
He slashed at the man's back, but the man had already noticed it. The man easily snatched his knife, pushed him to the ground, and spat at him in disgust.
At that time, he was seven years old.
Where is his father? Why does everyone else have a father but he doesn't?
When Xiao Chongyang was younger, he had asked his mother the same question. His mother slapped him with red eyes, and he never dared to ask again.
Gradually, Xiao Chongyang realized that his father was a bastard.
After all, his mother was only a dozen years older than him, and when she became a mother, she was actually still a child.
Why did you give birth to him?
My mother’s response was, “You think I do?”
So, his bastard father brought him into this world like a spit, and then just walked away.
And his poor mother had no choice but to give birth to him and raise him helplessly.
He is a burden to his mother, in the true sense of the word.
No one welcomed him into this world. He never knew what it felt like to be liked, but instead experienced an extraordinary amount of hatred.
When his mother was drunk, she often beat and scolded him. Through those fragmentary words, Xiao Chongyang learned about his mother's affairs.
His mother said that if it weren't for him, this burden, she would still be studying. Even if she stopped studying, she could get married normally. Even if she didn't get married, at least she still had her parents to rely on.
Unfortunately, his mother's life was first ruined by his bastard father, and then he, this burden, dragged her into a swamp-like life forever, with no possibility of climbing out.
There is no limit to depravity.
What is more terrifying than depravity itself is that it will make people lose hope and other possibilities.
Only resentment remains.
His mother was like that.
The mother resented him every day, and she hated him the most, as if all her suffering was caused by him.
As he grew older, his mother's hatred for him became stronger.
How could there be such strong hatred?
After his mother's death, he found the answer.
That year, my mother was 35 years old. For most women, 35 is not the age of blooming flowers, but it is definitely not the time to wither.
But the mother said, "I have lived enough."
He left a suicide note with these four words and jumped from the building.
After his mother died, he pried open her drawer and searched through it, but only found twenty dollars and an old photo.
The man in the photo looks to be in his thirties, with a handsome face that can easily make girls fall for him, and he is wearing a high-end suit.
Xiao Chongyang knew why his mother hated him so much, because he looked very much like his bastard father.
I don't know how they met or broke up, but I can imagine it.
It's probably a cliché story about a man with some money and good looks who toyed with the feelings of a young girl and then abandoned her.
Even after his mother died, he continued to live.
He had dropped out of school a long time ago because someone called him a son of a bitch, so he bit off the guy's ear and was expelled.
Without any education or skills, one can only do hard work that requires no technical skills.
Thanks to his bastard father and unlucky mother, he had a handsome face. The landlady took a fancy to him, found an excuse to call him into the house, and put a gold watch in front of him.
The boss's wife told him that the boss would be on a business trip for one week every month. During that week, he didn't have to work, but he would still get his salary and the gold watch would also be his.
He remembered his mother biting the gold ring and did not take the gold watch.
After being rejected, the boss lady's self-esteem was hit, and she glared at him with hatred: "Think it over carefully."
