Chapter 67 The Showdown
"There's no use in worrying now. We should tell Su Ruan as soon as possible so she can prepare," Li Yuyang suggested.
"No, that silly girl has clearly fallen in love with that pervert, and she's just been betrayed by all her family. How can I tell her that? Wouldn't that be pushing her to the brink of despair?" Song Feiwan firmly disagreed.
The heirs of two top families in Beijing's elite circle sat together, their faces clouded with worry over a trivial matter.
"By the way, how did you find out?" Song Feiwan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she had to change her mind.
"I originally wanted to investigate Su Xin's situation, but I accidentally learned that she had been abused abroad. Following this lead, I found out about a gang of thugs abroad."
It was really a coincidence that there was an inconspicuous young man among them who had actually met Gu Jinyuan. Otherwise, given the current situation in China, we might never have been able to trace Gu Jinyuan back to us.
I knew that kid had a powerful background. Turns out he came prepared; it's obvious he kept his information completely under wraps.
After much thought, Song Feiwan came up with a bold guess.
"Given this, and considering all the sudden attacks our family has suffered, I have a reasonable suspicion about something."
"What?" Li Yuyang looked at her.
“I suspect that Gu Jinyuan may have known Su Ruan for a long time, and the reason he didn’t completely wipe out our family the last few times was probably because he was mindful of Su Ruan’s feelings,” Song Feiwan said.
“I think it’s very likely. How about I find an opportunity to talk to him in person?” Li Yuyang asked.
“No need, I will handle this personally,” Song Feiwan said.
"Are you serious?" Li Yuyang disagreed. "He's the cruel and perverted head of the Rothde family. Do you think he'll let you go once he knows you've investigated his identity?"
“I don’t know either, but in order not to implicate Su Ruan, I still want to take a gamble.” Song Feiwan’s attitude was very firm.
Li Yuyang frowned in thought, then stood up and hugged Song Feiwan to comfort her, "Okay, I support you. Go ahead and do what you want to do, and I'll bear the consequences with you no matter what."
"Thank you." Song Feiwan was deeply moved and couldn't help but raise her arm to hug Li Yuyang's waist.
After discussing it, Song Feiwan asked Li Yuyang to find an excuse to transfer Su Ruan away, and she went directly to the ward to find Gu Jinyuan.
The two went their separate ways. After Su Ruan was taken away by Li Yuyang's men, Song Feiwan came to find Gu Jinyuan alone.
Gu Jinyuan was happily scrolling through his phone on the bed when he looked up and saw Song Feiwan, but he didn't seem to care.
"My wife was just called away by the doctor. You can come back to find her later."
Song Feiwan stared at the expression on Gu Jinyuan's face. At this moment, he was in high spirits and very happy.
"Did Su Ruan confess her feelings to you?"
"Yeah, you're jealous? My wife won't abandon me for you anymore." Gu Jinyuan boasted smugly.
This time, Song Feiwan did not retort but remained silent, which puzzled Gu Jinyuan.
"And what about you? What exactly do you mean by my little darling?"
"Of course I love my wife the most, what's there to ask?" Gu Jinyuan's expression was not very happy. He made it so obvious that anyone could see how much he loved Su Ruan.
"So, can I reasonably guess that part of the reason you returned to China this time was because of Su Ruan?" Song Feiwan asked directly.
Gu Jinyuan didn't react immediately, and only realized something was wrong after he grunted in response. He then looked up and stared intently at Song Feiwan.
"What do you mean"
"I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to ask you to go easy on my best friend, my dear brother," Song Feiwan said firmly.
Gu Jinyuan's body stiffened instantly, his fierce eyes fixed on Song Feiwan, exuding murderous intent.
"You knew all along?"
“Yes, I know all about your identity. You are the head of the Rothschild family. How do you plan to take revenge?” Song Feiwan asked directly.
Gu Jinyuan's face was a mixture of pale and flushed, his killing intent tinged with a hint of hesitation.
"Since you already know, I won't pretend anymore." Gu Jinyuan slowly relaxed his body. "I came back this time to bankrupt your Song family, then force your whole family to go abroad, and slowly destroy you."
However, I've changed my mind. You saved my wife, so I can let you go. But I won't let either of your parents go..."
"Then you don't have to let me go. I'm willing to live and die with my parents. Just promise me you won't touch Su Ruan. The grievances should be settled by the perpetrators, and I hope you can be a decent human being and not harm others."
Before Gu Jinyuan could finish speaking, Song Feiwan also expressed her attitude.
Su Ruan is her best friend, and she won't implicate the innocent Su Ruan. On the contrary, she hopes that Su Ruan, who has gone through so much hardship, will be happy in the future.
But as the eldest daughter of the Song family, she would never back down in the face of adversity and abandon her parents to enjoy herself alone.
Since the two families have an irreconcilable conflict, she will fight Gu Jinyuan with all her might, and she will be willing to accept whatever fate may befall her.
"You are a very good opponent." The contempt in Gu Jinyuan's eyes faded, replaced by a hint of admiration for Song Feiwan.
His half-sister is much more responsible than his father; at least she wouldn't abandon her family to live a life of pleasure alone.
His biological father clearly had a fiancée, yet he deceived his mother's feelings, tricked her into bed, got her pregnant, and then had no intention of taking responsibility.
He coldly ordered his mother to go to the hospital alone for an abortion, completely disregarding the scorn she would face from society.
Even when his mother pleaded with him to stay, disregarding her dignity and kneeling down to beg him to keep the child, he remained unmoved.
His mother endured ten months of hardship to carry him to birth and raise him to the age of five. She wanted to bring him back to see his biological father so that he could care about the child, but that scumbag refused.
Instead, they looked at the mother and son as if they were enemies, and mercilessly drove them out of their home on that rainy night.
He refused to open the door, even as his mother cried herself unconscious in the rain.
Even Song Feiwan's mother showed them no mercy, her cold gaze as if she were looking at a pile of garbage.
At the age of five, he was soaked to the bone in the cold rainy night.
How could her parents, who are so hard-hearted and ruthless, raise such a kind, compassionate, and optimistic child as Song Feiwan?
"Alright, I respect your decision. Then let's have a fair match. If you can withstand my methods, I'll spare your whole family."
No sooner had Gu Jinyuan finished speaking than the door was pushed open with a bang.
Su Ruan, her face as pale as paper, stood behind the door, staring at the two men with a shocked expression. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and she seemed about to collapse.
"Song Feiwan, what did you just say? Gu Jinyuan is the vicious illegitimate older brother you mentioned?"
