Guo Xin was devastated after hearing the news; he didn't know what to do.
At this time, he heard news that the princess from Cangzhou would be arriving in a couple of days.
Hearing this news made him even more unhappy, and he lost all his energy.
Faka had met him once. After all, he was the son he had doted on for many years. He had very complicated feelings about this adopted son. But after all, he had raised him with great care and effort. Even though he was a playboy, he had never given up on the child. How could he not have any feelings for him?
Seeing his listless appearance, and thinking of her own daughter's lively and intelligent nature, she couldn't help but say, "Look at yourself!"
Guo Xin wasn't a very shrewd person, and after being told that, he couldn't help but say, "Yes, your daughter is good, but I'm not your daughter."
Guo Xin practically yelled those words out, and immediately regretted them as soon as they left his mouth.
He then realized that he wasn't his biological son, and that his father's affection for him was based on the fact that he was his son. By so blatantly revealing this, he was practically courting death. Even if he was stupid, he knew how terrible it would be to say these words at this time.
Faka frowned after hearing this: "What do you know?"
Guo Xin shuddered and remained silent.
Faka gestured to the steward to silence the people around them. Guo Xin was speaking without considering the occasion, and Faka did not intend for too many people to know about this. Then he said to Guo Xin, "Come with me to the study."
Guo Xin finally had some concerns, and obediently followed Faka to the study.
Guo Xin was now in the study, behaving as docilely as a quail. Faka seemed to sense his mood and sighed, "You know?"
What does "Amma" refer to?
Faka: "You know what I mean, and I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. How did you know?"
He kept the news under tight control, so logically he shouldn't have known. In particular, Faka knew that his son wasn't very bright and was often led by the nose. He had investigated and found that many things over the years had been deliberately tolerated by Hualien.
Without that filter, Faka's view of people is still quite objective, so how would Guo Xin know?
"My son heard it from his servants."
Faka frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
"Tell me, what did that person say?"
Faka, being in a high position, exuded an imposing aura that made Guoxin feel suffocated. Guoxin, who had always been pampered, had never seen his father like this before, and immediately couldn't withstand it, so he honestly confessed.
After hearing this, Faka knew that someone was probably behind it all, and it was easy to guess who it was.
He didn't expect that even at this point, he would still be dishonest.
Faka thought for a moment and said to Guoxin, "Speaking of which, I have done my best for you over the years. Now that you know, I will tell you the truth. You are indeed not my biological son. As for why, I might as well tell you. You and my daughter were born on the same day and in the same place. Then you were switched by Hualian, who was a maid at the time. I think you should understand what I mean."
Guo Xin was somewhat skeptical: "Aunt Hua, how could that be? She's Mother's personal maid."
Faka saw that he still didn't understand, and he was getting a little impatient with his intelligence.
"Do you know what people outside are saying about you and Guo Qixun?"
Guo Xin was completely unaware that all the people he got along with were introduced to him by Guo Qixun. No one else included him, and the people Guo Qixun introduced would naturally fawn over him. That's why he was oblivious to outside opinions and had no accurate self-awareness.
Seeing him like this, even Faka felt a little tired.
"Everyone says you are not as intelligent as Qi Xun, nor as humble and polite as him. Apart from being born of the eldest son, you are inferior to him in every other way. Why do you think that is?"
Guo Xin, like a complete idiot, actually asked, "Why?"
Faka was about to curse aloud. How could he have been so blind to think that someone with such low intelligence could be saved? This level of intelligence is simply unbelievable.
This time, Faka gave up and figured it out himself. He said directly to him, "The reason why everyone around you flatters you is because they have all received benefits from Aunt Hua. Your bad reputation is also due to the efforts of Aunt Hua and her son. Do you understand now?"
Guo Xin understood, but asked, "Why did Aunt Hua do this?"
Fakapo felt somewhat powerless and was too lazy to explain to him this time.
“I’ll replace the people around you later, and cut off all the people you used to associate with. Logically, I should send you back, but your biological parents in Cangzhou can’t go back for some reason. Since I haven’t told anyone that you’re not my son, then you will always be my son.”
Faka couldn't express his feelings for this son. Over the years, he had been disappointed in him for not living up to his potential, but he had indeed put his heart and soul into it. He wasn't a heartless wooden man. Over the years, he had protected the child he left behind because of the kindness of his former wife, even at the cost of preventing his second wife from having children.
You can't say he's sentimental, but he's loyal and devoted.
Guo Xin was still quite aware of his situation. He certainly wouldn't have listened to such words before he knew the truth, but now that he knew the truth, he really knew to be honest.
Humans have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, even those who are not very bright. So Guo Xin also has this instinct. Right now, the best thing for him is to be honest, obedient, and do whatever he is told.
Actually, such people aren't entirely stupid to some extent.
Even after Guo Xin left, Faka couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, he was indeed wrong. Guo Xin was ruined by Aunt Hua's excessive flattery, and he was partly to blame. In the end, he couldn't judge people well.
