Chapter 51
"Shuangshuang, don't you have anything you want to ask Mom about your life experience?"
Qi Yue and Gu Yunshuang were both silent.
To be honest, Qi Yue didn't want Gu Yunshuang and Jiang Honghui to recognize each other. These two were definitely not easy to deal with. In the plot he had seen, Gu Yunshuang and Jiang Mingshuang's life stories were never revealed from beginning to end. Naturally, Jiang Honghui and his wife were suppressing Gu Yunshuang behind the scenes.
He even suspected that after the Ghost Gate was broken in the plot, Jiang Honghui and his wife had more ways to evacuate early, and there was no need to fight for the quota of Gu's father and mother. And the way they were dragging their feet in packing things now looked like they were deliberately stalling for time.
Qiyuan didn't believe at all that the death of Gu's father and mother had nothing to do with them.
Perhaps Jiang Honghui and his wife had long known about the Gu family's existence and that Gu Yunshuang was their biological son. Just as Jiang Mingshuang had said, they deliberately had their adopted son pass for their biological son, assisted him with plastic surgery to conceal his origins, and even helped him seize his biological son's destiny. Their first reaction upon discovering their biological son's existence wasn't surprise, but rather malicious suppression and targeting. How could this be the behavior of a normal pair of parents?
So this couple must be abnormal! Although they are now crying and wailing in front of the media, repeatedly promising to compensate their own son 10 times, who knows if they have a bigger conspiracy waiting for Gu Yunshuang?
His Shuangshuang was so gentle and kind. If she really went back to the Jiang family, it would be like a rabbit entering a den of wolves. I'm afraid she would be eaten to the bone.
But then again, they are Shuangshuang's biological parents after all. Blood ties are there. Wouldn't Shuangshuang want to be close to her biological parents?
Rather than the Jiang family's conspiracy, he was more worried that Shuangshuang would be heartbroken by Jiang Honghui and his wife.
But he had no right to stop Shuangshuang from reuniting with her biological parents, so he remained silent.
Gu's mother's thoughts were similar to Qi Yue's, except that she didn't assume the Jiang Honghui couple with the utmost malice. She hadn't had a very good impression of them before, but after seeing them cry so heartfeltly in front of the media and reading online comments, she also felt that it might be better for Gu Yunshuang to return to the Jiang family and become the crown prince.
Not to mention the Jiang family's huge fortune, just given the Jiang family's status and strength, any resources they have would be enough to allow Gu Yunshuang to rise to prominence in the entertainment industry.
Instead of being like her and Gu's father, who not only could not help Gu Yunshuang in any way, but also held Gu Yunshuang back, they could only watch Gu Yunshuang endure all kinds of slander and defamation from Xinchao Entertainment for their sake and be scolded by the entire Internet.
Reason told her that it was the best choice for Gu Yunshuang to return to the Jiang family, but emotionally, how could she bear to give up the son she had raised as her own son for 19 years? So she was very hesitant.
However, Gu Yunshuang did not come to ask her about her life experience, and she became restless first.
Gu Yunshuang looked at Qi Yue and Gu Ma, who were hesitant to speak, smiled slightly, and uttered two words that surprised them: "No."
He continued calmly, "Mom, I will always be your and Dad's son."
Mother Gu was immediately moved to tears. "I'm glad you think of me this way, but they are very likely your biological parents after all..."
Qi Yue was afraid that Gu Yunshuang would be persuaded by Gu's mother to change his mind and go to the Jiang family to recognize each other, so she quickly interrupted, "Auntie, you don't really believe what Jiang Honghui and his wife said, thinking that they really didn't know that their own son had been switched, right? How is that possible? Jiang Mingshuang didn't look exactly like their biological son from the beginning. Unless you are blind, you can't fail to recognize your own son. Even if they were exactly the same, how could parents fail to recognize their own son when their son is right before their eyes every day?
"Don't blame everything on metaphysics. My grandfather and I are the most powerful three heavenly masters in the world of heavenly masters. I can assure you that there is absolutely no magic that can deceive the senses of ordinary people and make them mistake their son for nearly twenty years.
"So everything that couple said in front of the media was just him shirking responsibility. They had no intention of recognizing their biological son. Listen to what they said, they put all the blame on Jiang Mingshuang, saying they were all innocent victims and it was all Jiang Mingshuang's fault. But Jiang Mingshuang was his most beloved son before today. Even if he wasn't his biological son, he had raised him for so many years and there was still affection between them. They just pushed him out to take the blame without any hesitation. If it were you and uncle, would you be willing to do this to Shuangshuang?"
Mother Gu put herself in his shoes and thought about it. Her expression changed instantly, and she said firmly, "How is that possible? Shuangshuang is the lifeblood of Old Gu and me. If anyone dares to hurt Shuangshuang, we will fight him to the death. How could we push him out to take the blame? If there is any blame, we will take it ourselves!"
Qi Yue agreed, "That's right. Those two are not competent parents at all. They are so cruel that they even betrayed their own son. They ignored her for almost 20 years, and now they suddenly want to take her back. Who knows if there is some trap waiting for her to fall into? You must not be fooled by their words and push her into the fire pit with your own hands."
Mother Gu nodded repeatedly, still feeling a little scared. She almost pushed her son, this little lamb, into the wolf's den. Fortunately, Qi Yue woke her up in time, and she was very grateful to Qi Yue.
Qi Yue felt relieved when he saw this. No matter who Shuangshuang's biological parents were, Gu's father and mother were Gu Yunshuang's legal parents. As long as they didn't give in, Jiang Honghui and his wife would not be able to take Shuangshuang away, and would not be able to plot against Shuangshuang.
However, Mother Gu was still a little hesitant: "Shuangshuang, are you really willing to give up the Jiang family's resources and property?"
Gu Yunshuang said with certainty: "What happens to the Jiang family has nothing to do with me. I can fight for what I want on my own. I don't want to have anything to do with them at all. I hope you and Dad can support my decision."
Qi Yue also said, "Auntie, don't forget about me! I've made great contributions, and the country has promised to compensate me well. The villa, the car, and Shuangshuang's resources are just a small part of it. What the Jiang family can give to Shuangshuang, I can give more. After all, no matter how powerful the Jiang family is, can they be more powerful than the country?"
Mother Gu was amused by his witty remarks and finally felt relieved. She said firmly, "Shuangshuang, don't worry, Mom and Dad support your choice. However, I think I should still tell you about what happened back then."
Gu Yunshuang was found by Gu's parents on a rarely traveled mountain road. Gu's father's hometown is in a remote mountain village.
That day, they were driving out of their hometown in a rather beat-up pickup truck. It was almost dark and the road was still hard to see. They almost didn't see the child lying on the road and ran over it. But it was Dad Gu's sharp eyes that noticed something on the road and reflexively braked quickly, narrowly avoiding running over it.
The two hurriedly got out of the car to check and saw a two-year-old child fainted on the road.
The child was small and thin, with fair skin, but he was so thin that his bones were visible. His body was covered with bruises, and there were many new and old scars. His face had an unusual flush, and when you touched his forehead, it was very hot. You could tell at a glance that the child had suffered inhumane abuse before.
The couple was very angry. Who could be so heartless and cruel to treat a two or three-year-old child like this and abandon him on a mountain road in the wilderness? Not to mention whether he would be run over by a passing driver who didn't see the road clearly, there was a high possibility that wild dogs, wolves, and wild boars would come and take him away. They were deliberately trying to kill the child!
They carried the child into the car and rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.
On the way, Gu's mother held the child in her arms, wrapped him tightly in a coat and blanket, fed him water, and wet a towel and applied it to his forehead to cool him down. The child finally woke up a little, and cried for mom and dad, saying it hurt. Gu's mother was heartbroken. She held him and rocked him gently, coaxing him softly, "Be good, don't be afraid, mom and dad are here!"
This comfort was really useful and made the child feel much more at ease. His little hands kept holding on to Gu Ma's clothes tightly and refused to let go.
They drove for two or three hours to the nearest town, rushed the child to the hospital, and called the police.
The police speculated that the boy was abducted into the mountains by human traffickers and was abused on the way. When the traffickers saw that he had a high fever and was dying, they did not dare to take him to the hospital, so they abandoned him on the road to fend for himself.
However, the police checked recent missing children cases across the country and found no missing children whose circumstances matched the child's.
More than a month passed, and the child's parents did not come to report the case. No one came to claim the child after the missing person notice was posted for so long, and the police were unable to find the child's parents for a while.
Moreover, the child has been a little dazed since he woke up from the fever. He is afraid to see people and has forgotten where his home is and who his parents are. He only remembers that he is two years old and his name is Shuangshuang. He firmly believes that Gu Dad and Gu Mom are his parents. When he can't see them, he sobs and cries silently in fear, calling "Dad and Mom" in a low voice, and dares not make a big fuss, which makes people feel even more distressed.
The police felt that this was not a solution, so they decided to let Mr. and Mrs. Gu take the child home and raise him.
Gu's mother had suffered a miscarriage and was injured in her body, so it was difficult for her to have children again. When she heard the police's suggestion, she and Gu's father immediately agreed happily. They also went through the formal adoption procedures and named the child Gu Yunshuang. The reason why the pronunciation of the last character was not changed was because they thought that one day Gu Yunshuang's biological parents might be able to find him based on the pronunciation of "shuangshuang".
"The police station has your information and our contact information. In order to allow your biological parents to find you, we have never changed our phone number in the past 19 years."
Originally, they did all this with good intentions, just hoping that one day Gu Yunshuang could be reunited with his biological parents. After all, in their opinion, what parent in the world doesn't miss their child?
But now, thinking about the behavior of Jiang Honghui and his wife, especially Xinchao Entertainment's deliberate smear campaign against Gu Yunshuang, which was most likely orchestrated by Jiang Honghui and his wife, she felt extremely regretful. It would be better to disown such parents.
"We had wanted you to know your origins from a young age, so you wouldn't be overwhelmed when your biological parents came looking for you. But your grandmother stopped us. She said the clothes you were wearing when we found you weren't cheap. Your biological parents must be wealthy, but they raised you so skinny, and it was obvious they didn't care about you at all.
"You've been missing for so long and no one has reported you. Your information is posted at the police station. If they come to report you, they'll definitely know you're here. But they haven't come yet. It's very strange no matter how you look at it. Either this couple is a bad person or something has happened. We should keep it a secret until they find us. Otherwise, the child will be overly optimistic and more vulnerable to harm in the future."
They also had their own little selfish motives, and seeing that Gu Yunshuang had completely forgotten what happened before, they didn't mention it anymore.
Thinking about it now, Grandma Gu was so far-sighted.
Gu Yunshuang recalled a dream he had of being kidnapped, and also thought of what Xie Yuhua had said about Jiang Mingshuang being kidnapped when she was two years old and then being replaced.
So it is very likely that Jiang Honghui's biological son was really kidnapped at that time, but they strangely did not call the police or pay a ransom to the kidnappers. Instead, they adopted another child and took him to the amusement park to be photographed by reporters. They also let the adopted son completely replace the existence of their biological son, and did not care about their biological son whose life or death was unknown after being kidnapped.
Gu Yunshuang told his mother about the dream and his thoughts. Mother Gu was even more angry. What kind of weird parents are these? She was even more determined not to let Jiang Honghui and his wife recognize Gu Yunshuang.
The next day, the Internet was once again in an uproar because the results of the paternity test between Jiang Honghui and his wife and Jiang Mingshuang came out, and Jiang Mingshuang was indeed not their biological son.
Xu Qingya fainted in front of the media. Jiang Honghui suppressed his grief and called out to Gu Yunshuang, begging him to go with them for a paternity test.
Then some resourceful netizens found the police report and adoption records of Gu's parents 19 years ago, proving that Gu Yunshuang was indeed not Gu's parents' biological child.
The internet was full of calls for Gu Yunshuang to come out and do a paternity test with Jiang Honghui and his wife.
Even Gu Yunshuang's fans were bewitched by the bright prospects online about Gu Yunshuang being adopted into the Jiang family and becoming the crown prince of the Jiang family, and they hoped that Gu Yunshuang could do a paternity test as soon as possible.
