【044】 Double major
Gu Juan woke up to the sound of birds chirping and found himself next to Xi Lang, hugging him tightly around the waist. Xi Lang was sleeping soundly, so he let go of him, raised his head, and pressed it against his chest, deliberately applying some force. Feeling Xi Lang stir, as if about to wake up, he quickly closed his eyes.
Xi Lang opened his eyes and saw a black head. He raised his head slightly and saw that Gu Juan was still awake. A faint smile appeared on his lips. He shook his head and reached out to touch his face. He whispered, "No wonder you feel uncomfortable in your chest. You even said you sleep well."
The man had just woken up, and his voice was a little huskier than usual, making it even sexier. It was like a brush brushing across Gu Juan's heart. He felt a surge of heat all over his body, and even his ears felt hot.
Xi Lang closed his eyes and put one arm around Gu Juan's waist, as if hugging him.
Gu Juan was greedy for this warmth and lay there motionless, about to fall asleep again in a daze.
Because he was lying at an angle, his waist felt a little sore after a while. He moved his head and pretended to wake up.
Xi Lang took his arm away. "Awake? Good morning."
"Good morning." Gu Juan yawned and sat up. "Get up, didn't you say we were going to climb the mountain today?"
For some reason, neither of them mentioned the intimate action just now.
After washing up, the two of them left the house, leaving the doors of the other rooms tightly closed. Thinking of what happened last night, Han Lin and the others probably didn't sleep well, so Gu Juan and Xi Lang didn't wake them. After breakfast at the farm's restaurant, they bought breakfast for Han Lin and the others and returned to read in the living room.
By eleven o'clock, Han Lin and the others hadn't gotten up yet, so Gu Juan and Xi Lang went to the garden to buy some vegetables. After lunch was ready, the few people who had slept all morning began to emerge from their rooms, probably waking up hungry.
Xi Lang didn't see Cao Jie and thought he hadn't gotten up yet. "Rui Cheng, go call Cao Jie."
Li Ruicheng yawned. "That guy left last night. Let me tell you something. Do you want to give him a call?"
Xi Lang said calmly, "No need, it's enough that he has greeted you."
Gu Juan poured a glass of wine for each of Han Lin and the others. "Brother Zhang, Brother Han, Brother Li, I'm really sorry for making you worry last night. I'll toast to you."
"Nothing." Zhang Muheng waved his hand, "I'm glad you're all okay."
"Don't make such jokes next time." Han Lin said with a smile.
Li Ruicheng was sharp-eyed. He noticed a jade pendant on Xi Lang's neck and a knowing smile flashed across his eyes. "Let's not talk about the past. Let's all sit down and eat. I'm starving."
After the incident with Zhou Guangming yesterday, everyone felt a little uncomfortable. After lunch, they sat for a while, settled the bills that had been changed, and then left the farm.
Zhang Muheng and his friends went straight back to the imperial capital. Before leaving, they invited Gu Juan to visit the imperial capital when he had time.
Han Lin returned to his office, while Gu Juan and Xi Lang went home.
While the car was moving, Xi Lang's cell phone rang.
Xi Lang glanced at the screen and said, "It should be the result of the paternity test."
Gu Juan's heart skipped a beat. "I'll take it, okay?"
Xi Lang nodded.
Gu Juan answered the phone, "Hello, Xi Lang is driving. I'm his friend, and you told me the same thing."
The other party didn't waste time and got straight to the point. "The DNA match between the two is 99.99%, confirming they are biological father and son. I've already faxed the report to Xi Lang's home and sent a copy to his email."
Because he had already guessed it, Gu Juan was very calm. He thanked him and asked Xi Lang, "Do you have anything to say to him?"
"Tell him I'll treat him to a meal when I return to the capital," Xi Lang said.
Gu Juanyi said, and hung up the phone, "Old man, do you know An Xiaoguo?"
Xi Lang thought for a moment, "CEO of Zhengfang Enterprise?"
"Eighteen years ago, An Jiaqi and I..." After telling a story about the past, Gu Juan suddenly felt relaxed.
Xi Lang, however, became restless. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and asked, "What are you going to do?"
A sharp light flashed in Gu Juan's eyes, and he said calmly, "Strike first to gain the upper hand. The An Xiaoguo couple treat An Jiaqi and An Jiakang so differently. It must be because they have discovered that An Jiaqi is not their son. This is the An family's secret. If it gets out, it will not sound good. It may even cause turmoil in the An family's assets. I think this is why the An family has concealed this news. As to whether An Jiaqi already knows that he is not the An family's child, it is still unknown. But what he cares about most must be the An family's assets, and what he fears most is that others will know that he is not the An family's child. In this case, then I will publicize this matter." Now, he is certain that in his previous life, An Jiaqi attacked him because he was afraid that he would be taken back to the An family and his inheritance rights would be taken away. In his previous life, An Jiaqi was willing to kill him for the An family's assets, and Gu Juan didn't think that An Jiaqi would change his mind in this life. Since An Jiaqi cared so much about the An family's assets, he would prevent him from getting them!
Xi Lang didn't understand why he was so disgusted with An Jiaqi, even hated him, "Then, An Xiaoguo and his wife..."
Gu Juan shook his head. "I have no intention of getting acquainted with them. Although all the information from that year was destroyed in the fire, if they really wanted to investigate, they could always find some clues by asking the doctors and nurses in the hospital, right? But I haven't heard that they're looking for their lost son in all these years. If that's the case, why should I get involved? My parents are already dead."
Xi Lang held one of his hands, looked ahead, and said calmly, "You still have me."
"Yeah!" Gu Juan gave him a light smile.
After returning home, Gu Juan changed her appearance and went to an Internet cafe. She posted a message on several popular online forums and bulletin boards, revealing that An Jiaqi was not the biological son of the An family. She then went to a public telephone booth and called the newspaper, and sent the relevant evidence to the newspaper's mailbox.
Sure enough, a section of the next day's newspaper was occupied by news about the An family.
Gu Juan followed the spirit stone mark he had left on An Jiaqi and found An Jiaqi. Seeing the gloom and decadence on his face, the hatred in his heart finally dissipated a little.
But this wasn't enough. If An Jiaqi ever found out that he was An Xiaoguo's biological son, he would definitely find a way to get rid of him. Only by driving An Jiaqi out of the An family could he cut off his escape route.
Soon, another anonymous article appeared on the Internet, which was full of sarcastic language. First, it satirized the eldest son of the An family for pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. He had long discovered that he was not a child of the An family, but he could remain calm; second, it satirized the noble character of An Xiaoguo and his wife, who were not afraid of raising a tiger to cause trouble by raising a person of unknown origin.
An Jiaqi was caught off guard. He had long suspected he wasn't An Xiaoguo's child, judging by his parents' differing attitudes toward him and An Jiakang, and his complete dissimilarity with An Xiaoguo. But he had assumed he was the son of Madam An and another man. Unexpectedly, he was neither An Xiaoguo's nor Madam An's son. This blow was devastating!
The An family was in turmoil.
When An Jiaqi was six years old, he was seriously injured and needed a blood transfusion. By chance, An Xiaoguo discovered that his blood type was incorrect. He then decided to do a paternity test, which revealed that An Jiaqi was not his child at all. An Xiaoguo suspected that An Jiaqi was the child of another man, but Mrs. An protested. Another paternity test revealed that Mrs. An and An Jiaqi were also not related. An Xiaoguo concluded that the child was most likely switched at birth.
From then on, An Xiaoguo and his wife treated An Jiakang as their own son. However, because the An family's company was at a critical stage of development, and An Xiaoguo had a younger brother who coveted his power, if word got out that An Jiaqi wasn't his biological son, the consequences would be severe. Therefore, An Xiaoguo and his wife kept this news a secret.
Now that the secret had been revealed, it inevitably caused turmoil in the An family's fortune. While An Xiaoguo and Mrs. An secretly resented the person who had revealed the secret, they also felt a sense of relief. Having raised a bastard for so many years, they both felt a deep sense of pain.
But none of this had anything to do with Gu Juan. Two days later, he heard that An Jiaqi had been sent abroad by the An family. It was obvious that this was the last act of kindness from the An family towards An Jiaqi, and that they would no longer care about him.
An Jiaqi never knew who was targeting him, and this was the only unsolvable problem in his life.
After the incident with An Jiaqi came to an end, Gu Juan completely let go of the hatred in his heart and knocked on the door of the principal's office one morning.
That afternoon, a new hot post was pinned to the top of the Congzhou University forum: "The school hunk wants to pursue a double bachelor's degree," and there was also a new "freshman" in the 2009 Traditional Chinese Medicine major.
