Chapter 163 Recognition

The waiter served tea and left.

Jiang Qibai picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, placing one of them in front of Gu Changyu, "Uncle, please have some tea."

Gu Changyu looked up at Jiang Qibai in front of him. He was thirty years old, but he didn't look stupid. How could he be like a child?

He said seriously, "I'm not the uncle your sister is looking for."

Jiang Qibai smiled, "I know." Gu Changyu

was stunned when he heard this, "Then why didn't you explain it clearly to your sister? Did your sister misunderstand me?"

Jiang Qibai picked up the teacup in front of him and put it to his lips and took a sip, then explained slowly, "Although you are not the uncle my sister knows, but you look like someone."

Gu Changyu asked in confusion, "Look like who?"

Jiang Qibai said, "My brother-in-law."

Gu Changyu was drinking tea when he suddenly heard the word brother-in-law. He almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He looked up at Jiang Qibai, a little shocked.

"Brother-in-law? Your sister could be my daughter. Don't joke like that!"

Jiang Qibai looked at Gu Changyu's reaction and couldn't help laughing. "You misunderstood. You do look a lot like my brother-in-law, not what you think."

Gu Changyu was a little embarrassed. He thought Jiang Qibai was talking about looking like his future brother-in-law, but it turned out that he already had a brother-in-law.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Jiang Qibai chuckled: "Whether it has anything to do with it or not, I don't know."

Gu Changyu: "..."

Jiang Youning returned to the house and didn't see Xie Jing. He didn't know where Xie Jing had gone.

She suddenly thought of Leng Yu and hurriedly called out, "Leng Yu."

The next second, Leng Yu ran in from outside and saluted, "Madam, what do you want?"

Jiang Youning said, "Go find the general and ask him to return to the inn as soon as possible."

"Yes, Madam." After Leng Yu received the order, he ran out like a gust of wind again.

Jiang Youning couldn't help but sigh when she saw it, how fast!

If you promised to give someone the gift, you can't go empty-handed.

Jiang Youning searched around in her gift bag.

Chuntao saw Jiang Youning looking for something and asked, "Miss, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it."

"Found it." Jiang Youning picked up a rabbit made of velvet.

Chuntao looked at the velvet rabbit in Jiang Youning's hand, her eyes full of doubts: "Miss, you are not going to give this away, are you?"

Jiang Youning smiled and said: "Yes."

Chuntao said: "Miss, I am not saying that this is a bit embarrassing. This rabbit is too small and is suitable for girls."

Jiang Youning chuckled: "You don't understand this, right? Men sometimes have childishness. I think uncle should like it very much."

Chuntao: "..."

Jiang Youning took the velvet rabbit downstairs and saw Gu Changyu and Jiang Qibai drinking tea and chatting. She walked over in small steps and handed the velvet rabbit in her hand to Gu Changyu.

"Uncle, this is a little rabbit I made by myself. I hope you like it." The most important thing is to stabilize the uncle first, and hope Xie Jing can come back soon.

Gu Changyu raised his head and looked at the little rabbit in front of him. It was furry, but the size of an egg, with a white body and red eyes. It looked very cute.

He looked at Jiang Youning, "Did you make this?"

Jiang Youning nodded vigorously, "Do you like it, uncle?"

Gu Changyu took Jiang Youning to buy food, and he never thought about accepting any gifts. He just didn't want to disappoint the little girl.

The gift was small and exquisite. The water was not hot, and it was not a very expensive gift. However, the gift was small but the sentiment was great, and the little girl's intentions could be seen.

"I like it very much." Gu Changyu hesitated for a while, reached out and took the little rabbit in her palm. He didn't dare to use force, for fear of crushing it.

"As long as you like it, uncle." Jiang Youning said and sat down at the table.

Jiang Xibai looked at the little rabbit in Gu Changyu's hand and was not surprised. After his sister learned to make flannel, she often made small animals. There was a bookcase in his study room, which was specially used to store these flannel products. After

taking the gift, Gu Changyu said, "I should go too."

Jiang Youning picked up the teapot and filled the teacup in front of Gu Changyu with tea. Then he smiled and said, "Uncle, don't be in a hurry to leave. I want to introduce someone to you."

Gu Changyu paused in his attempt to stand up, looked at Jiang Youning again, and politely refused, "I have something else to do. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely see you."

Jiang Youning said, "Uncle, you didn't even ask me who the person I introduced was. What if you're curious and want to meet him?"

Gu Changyu chuckled, "Then tell me, who do you want to introduce to me?"

Jiang Youning's eyebrows curved, "My husband."

Gu Changyu had just heard Qi Bai mention her husband, who looked a bit like him, and he was indeed a bit curious. How similar were they?

"Where is he?"

Jiang Youning said, "On the way back."

Gu Changyu heard this and thought that it didn't matter if he had a little more time, "Then I'll wait a little longer."

Jiang Youning happily asked the waiter to bring some snacks.

"Wait a minute," the waiter brought the snacks.

Jiang Youning ate the snacks while looking at the door of the inn, expecting Xie Jing to come back soon.

After finishing a pot of tea, Jiang Qibai asked the waiter to bring another pot of tea.

If it weren't for the sweating in the summer, she would have vomited if she had only drunk tea.

Jiang Youning was also very anxious. She looked at the door from time to time. Why didn't Xie Jing come back?

Gu Changyu was also getting a little impatient. Just as he opened his mouth, he heard Jiang Youning excitedly say: "My husband is back."

Jiang Youning stood up and went to greet the tall figure at the door.

Xie Jing rushed back as soon as he got the news. Seeing the figure running towards him, he opened his arms to catch her.

Jiang Youning said excitedly: "Husband, I found him."

Xie Jing had just heard Leng Yu mention that Jiang Youning was with a man who looked like him.

"Where is he?"

"I'll take my husband there." Jiang Youning held Xie Jing's hand and walked towards Gu Changyu.

When Jiang Youning stood up, Gu Changyu looked back curiously and saw Jiang Youning walking towards him with a man. When he saw the man's face clearly, surprise flashed in his eyes.

The man was young, with an upright posture, and his eyebrows and eyes were indeed somewhat similar to his.

How similar?

He seemed to see himself in his twenties.

Jiang Youning stopped in front of Gu Changyu holding Xie Jing's hand and introduced him with a smile: "Uncle, he is my husband."

Xie Jing's dark eyes stared at Gu Changyu closely. Just as An Ning described, he had a beard and his profile was somewhat similar to him. Now that he saw his face from the front, they were even more similar.

"We look a bit alike, don't we?"

Gu Changyu stood up and looked at the man who was almost the same height as him but much younger than him. He said in a surprised tone, "Yes, we look a bit alike."

Xie Jing couldn't be sure if the man in front of him was his irresponsible father. If so, he could tell from his clothes that he was from a wealthy family. Why did he abandon his mother?

The young man's eyes were too harsh, and Gu Changyu couldn't ignore them even if he wanted to. He glanced at Jiang Youning. How could such a well-behaved and lovely girl fall in love with the man in front of him?

"Your wife has recognized the wrong person. I am not the uncle she knows."

Xie Jing stared at Gu Changyu for a while, and suddenly asked, "Aren't you curious why we look so alike?"

Gu Changyu was of course curious, but did they know each other?

Without waiting for his answer, Xie Jing asked again, "Do you know Xie Susu?"

Gu Changyu was stunned.

Jiang Qibai stood up and reminded him, "There are too many people here, it's better to talk somewhere else."

Xie Jing and Gu Changyu looked at each other and nodded.

In the guest room

Jiang Youning was holding the cakes she bought on the street, but her eyes were looking back and forth between the two people in front of her, from forehead to chin, and she couldn't help but say, "You look so alike."

Gu Changyu looked at Xie Jing and asked impatiently, "Do you know Su Su? Where is she?"

Xie Jing heard Gu Changyu's tone and judged that he said he knew her mother, so he didn't answer but asked, "How do you know her?"

Gu Changyu stared at Xie Jing for a long time. They looked similar, and suddenly he had a bold guess in his heart.

"Su Su and I met at Li's house."

Xie Jing asked, "Then what?"

Gu Changyu pondered for a moment and decided to tell the past.

Twenty-four years ago, when Gu Changyu was seventeen years old, he came to Yangzhou with his father to do business. When he was out for fun, he was assassinated. It was already late at night, so he had no choice but to hide in a nearby mansion, and then accidentally broke into Susu's yard.

At that time, Susu, a girl about the same age as Jiang Youning, thought he was injured, and helped him into the house out of kindness.

But he didn't expect that the wine he drank was drugged, and the drug was very strong. With the beauty in front of him, he couldn't control himself at all.

In the end, he was forced to have a relationship with Susu.

When he woke up, Susu was still asleep. In order to prevent the maid in the yard from finding out and ruining her reputation, he left on his own.

Before leaving, he left the jade pendant and a note.

After returning, because his father suddenly became seriously ill, he had to return to Luoyang first.

The investigation revealed that it was his half-brother who sent someone to assassinate him, and he also said that he was the one who drugged him.

His purpose was to inherit the position of the head of the family.

When he came to Yangzhou to find Su Su after dealing with these things, he found out that she had disappeared.

After listening to Gu Changyu's words, Xie Jing was almost certain that the man in front of him was his father.

He was drugged and forced to have sex. How could a weak woman like his mother bear the rumors and worldly abuse when she got pregnant before marriage?

"Then why didn't you look for her at that time?"

Gu Changyu said, "I looked for her, but I couldn't find her. It was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth. I come to Yangzhou every year, just to try my luck and see if I can see her again."

Xie Jing looked at Gu Changyu coldly, "Were you the one at Li's Mansion last night?"

Gu Changyu paused when he heard this, and suddenly understood, "I did go to Li's Mansion last night, and the person who chased me was you?"

He thought that the third brother had sent someone to assassinate him...

It turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Xie Jing did not deny it, "It's me."

Gu Changyu looked at Xie Jing, with a hint of expectation in his heart, "What is your relationship with Su Su?"

Xie Jing pursed his lips, "She is my mother."

Although Gu Changyu guessed it, he was still a little surprised to hear it with his own ears, "Then you are my son."

Xie Jing was silent for a while before speaking: "Whether I am your son or not, my mother has the final say."

Gu Changyu asked: "Then where is your mother? Where is she?"

Xie Jing did not answer but asked, "What do you want to do with my mother?"

Gu Changyu said seriously: "I promised to marry her, and now that I have found her, I naturally want to marry her."

In fact, Gu Changyu fell in love with this gentle and delicate girl when he saw Su Su for the first time.

Even if he had not been drugged and had sex with her, he still wanted to marry her.

He now suspected that the drug was too strong, or that it was because he fell in love with a girl for the first time, which made the drug stronger...

Other young masters had concubines at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and concubines when they were older.

He didn't even have a concubine at the age of seventeen.

Jiang Youning found that the uncle still had some conscience. If it were someone else, he would definitely forget about my mother, let alone marry her.

But so many years have passed, and the uncle didn't marry a wife or concubine?

That's too infatuated...

Wait, the uncle and my mother only met once, where did the love come from?

The uncle wants to be more responsible now, right? After listening to this

, Xie Jing also felt that Gu Changyu had a conscience, "It's been more than twenty years, don't you think it's too late?"

Gu Changyu was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt a little lost. Su Su had married a long time ago?

Yes, it's normal for her to get married after so many years.

"You're right, it's too late. But I still want to see Su Su."

Xie Jing said, "I can take you there, but my mother has the final say."

Gu Changyu said, "I understand. I'll be satisfied if I can see her once."

Xie Jing: "..." He didn't forget his original intention of looking for Gu Changyu. He would talk about it after he saw his mother.

After agreeing on the time to go back, Gu Changyu left the inn.

When he came out of the inn, Gu Changyu felt a little sad. He had been looking for Su Su for more than 20 years and finally found her.

He sighed.

Jiang Youning chased him all the way out, "Uncle, uncle."

Gu Changyu paused when he heard this, turned around and saw Jiang Youning running towards him, "Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Youning ran a little fast and took two breaths, "Uncle, my mother never got married and raised her son alone."

Gu Changyu was surprised when he heard this, "Are you serious?" Jiang

Youning raised his chin and said, "How could I lie to you, uncle? If you and my mother reconcile, I still want to call you dad."

Gu Changyu chuckled and said, "That makes sense. I was just too happy and couldn't believe it."

Jiang Youning asked in a low voice, "Uncle, are you married?"

Gu Changyu did not hide it, "My father forced me to marry a wife. She was in poor health and died not long after we got married."

Jiang Youning said with some regret, "Oh."

Gu Changyu asked, "Is Susu okay now?"

"Mom is fine now, but she must have suffered a lot in the past." Jiang Youning did not say much. Most people know how hard it is for an unmarried weak woman to take care of a child.

Gu Changyu knew without asking that Susu had suffered a lot in recent years, and he was a little impatient to see Susu.

He suddenly smiled and looked at Jiang Youning, "You actually deliberately recognized the wrong person, right?"

Being caught in the act, Jiang Youning felt a little embarrassed, "I just wanted you to meet my husband. You two look so much alike that I would rather make a mistake than miss it."

Gu Changyu chuckled, "You are a smart girl."

Good morning, babies!
