Gu Shilin was so emotional that he told Shen Lin everything that Ji Jianshen had told him.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin's gaze deepened, and he almost stood frozen in place.
"You're saying your aunt did that because of your biological father?"
"Yes, so Second Brother, among those who have wronged you, there is also me."
After Gu Shilin finished speaking, he looked at Shen Lin with an apologetic expression.
Gu Shilin was in a bad mood. He looked at Shen Lin and said, "Second brother, my mother did all this because of my so-called father. My mother thinks that Uncle Song killed him, so he did so many things."
Shen Lin stood there, watching Gu Shilin blame himself for this, watching Gu Shilin sadly lower his head.
Shen Lin knew that this matter had a great impact on Gu Shilin, and also knew that now was not the time to talk about these things.
“You seem upset. Let me take you home first,” Shen Lin said to Gu Shilin.
Gu Shilin lowered his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Go home? Go home where? Do I even have a home anymore?"
“Shi Lin…”
Shen Lin was about to say something when Gu Shilin interrupted him.
"Alright, that's enough. I'll go for a walk by myself. Second Brother, don't worry about me."
After saying this, Gu Shilin ignored Shen Lin's request to leave and strode outside.
They quickly disappeared from sight.
Shen Lin knew that it was very unsafe to let Gu Shilin leave alone at this moment.
After giving Ye Xinning a deep look, he turned around and left with a cold gaze.
Ye Xinning saw Shen Lin's glance, and she stood there, pursing her lips, not speaking for a long time.
Ye Xinning only snapped out of her daze when she heard Ji Jianshen's voice behind her, "Xinning."
Ye Xinning turned around and looked at Ji Jianshen. "What's wrong?"
Ji Jianshen stared into her eyes but did not speak, and time passed by second by second.
Ji Jianshen spoke, but instead of discussing what had just happened, he started talking about Song Zhengchu.
"It's nothing. You didn't sleep all night. Go home and get some rest. I'll keep an eye on Uncle Song."
Ye Xinning shook her head. "No need. You go back and rest, or go about your own business. I'll have He Yu come over."
“I can endure more than you. You’re pregnant, so you should go back and rest first.”
Even after Ye Xinning finished speaking, Ji Jianshen still said the same thing.
Ye Xinning looked up at him, and the light in her eyes made Ji Jian feel complicated.
In the ensuing silence, Ye Xinning finally spoke up, "I'm sorry, Ji Jianshen, I know it might be inappropriate to ask this, but I still want to confirm, about Qin Yongwang, did you deliberately not tell Shen Lin?"
Ji Jianshen's gaze was deep as he met Ye Xinning's eyes. "Is this question important to you?"
After a brief silence, Ye Xinning answered earnestly, "Yes, the answer to this question is very important to me."
Ji Jianshen pursed his lips and chuckled softly, "Really? If my answer is, yes, I deliberately didn't tell Shen Lin, what would you think of me?"
What would Ji Jianshen think of that?
Ye Xinning was stumped by Ji Jianshen's question.
For a moment, she didn't know how to answer Ji Jianshen's question.
If Ji Jianshen deliberately didn't tell Shen Lin, then it's understandable.
Given Ji Jianshen's experiences, it would be reasonable for him to want to use Gu Shilin's background to seek revenge.
But……
Ye Xinning couldn't quite describe the feeling she was experiencing.
I just feel like something's not quite right.
After thinking it over and over, Ye Xinning still couldn't figure out what went wrong. She spoke again, her voice gentle.
"It's alright. Nobody's body is made of iron. Let's all go back and rest. I'll have He Yu look after my dad."
After saying this, Ye Xinning nodded to Ji Jianshen, "Aunt Wen is waiting for me at the door. I'm going back now. You should go back and rest too."
After saying that, Ye Xinning turned and left.
Ji Jianshen watched Ye Xinning's departing figure without uttering a word for a long time, until Ye Xinning's figure disappeared from sight.
...
On the other side, Ji Jianshen chased after Gu Shilin.
"Shi Lin".
Before Gu Shilin could get into the car, Shen Lin grabbed his hand.
"Where are you going? You haven't slept all night, why don't you go home first?"
Gu Shilin smiled sarcastically, "Home, Second Brother, I have no home anymore."
Shen Lin frowned deeply. "Is this matter bothering you so much?"
Gu Shilin's smile looked so pale. "How could I not care? I always thought my eldest brother was lost. I always thought that my mother had been spending all these years in front of the Buddha and ignoring worldly affairs because she felt guilty about my eldest brother being lost. Only now do I realize that I was wrong. The most ridiculous thing is that I always thought I was the rightful heir to the Gu Group. But now the truth is, I am not a member of the Gu family at all. I was born because my mother had an affair. Second brother, I was filthy from birth."
Shen Lin couldn't refute Gu Shilin's repeated statements of fact.
You cannot choose your birth.
"Yes, I can't choose my birth, but what can I do? I caused the death of Father Gu, and I also caused the death of my older brother... Ji Jianshen suffered so much misfortune afterward, and all of this is closely related to me. How could I possibly let it go?"
“Shi Lin…”
Shen Lin wanted to say something, but before he could finish, Gu Shilin interrupted him.
"Second brother, I want to be alone for a while, you don't need to worry about me."
He remained steadfast and did not let go.
Gu Shilin: "Don't worry, I just want to be alone for a while, nothing will happen."
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Lin said, "Okay, then be careful. We can talk about other things once you've calmed down."
"Um."
Shen Lin let go, and Gu Shilin got into the car and quickly drove away.
After Gu Shilin left, Shen Lin wanted to go back to the hotel, but as soon as he got into the car, he saw a car drive by in front of him, and Ye Xinning was sitting inside.
Thinking that Ye Xinning had stood in front of Ji Jianshen all night, listening to Ji Jianshen tell Gu Shilin these things, did she also approve of Ji Jianshen's choice to tell Gu Shilin the truth in this way?
Shen Lin sat in the car, pondering for a long time, before finally driving off to follow them.
...
Ye Xinning sat in the back with her eyes closed, trying to rest. Thinking about what had happened since last night, she felt a terrible headache.
The car drove on and finally stopped in front of the Song family's house. Ye Xinning and Aunt Wen got out of the car together, and Aunt Wen suddenly reminded her.
"Miss."
Ye Xinning turned around and saw the person standing not far behind her.
