Chapter 577 Unacceptable
Gu Shuyan shook her head in disbelief.
Throughout the world, Gu Shuyan could treat everyone equally, so why did she have to choose a member of the royal family? Overwhelmed with emotion, Gu Shuyan stood up abruptly from her chair.
"Shu'er (Shushu)"
Everyone looked over, but Gu Shuyan's behavior seemed a bit abnormal.
Gu Yingjie was hearing about this for the first time today. Before he could even get excited, he saw Gu Shuyan run out, remembering that his elder brother was originally the second prince.
"Shu'er, don't run away!" Gu Yingjie said, and was met with several warning glances.
Yun Yichen had already chased after Gu Shuyan when she left. Once things calmed down inside, Gu Yingjie approached Gu Renjie.
"So, Big Brother is really a prince?" His eyes were scrutinizing, as if Gu Jin had been joking with him all along.
Gu Renjie did not change because of this. He just looked up and glared at Gu Yingjie, the warning meaning was no different from usual.
"Isn't that my older brother? Look at his eyes, look at his nose and mouth, he doesn't look like a prince at all!"
Gu Yingjie's words made everyone blush with embarrassment. Ouyang Jing couldn't help but cough and pulled him back.
"Brother, this isn't working very well."
As Ouyang Jing spoke, she pointed to her head, implying that Gu Yingjie wasn't very bright. Gu Renjie naturally wouldn't hold it against Gu Yingjie; how could he not know what kind of person his younger brother, whom he had bullied since childhood, was?
“Yingjie, the Second Prince is dead. There is no such person as the Second Prince in this world. Once you leave this room, you must not speak of what happened today.”
Gu Jin gave him a warning look, and Gu Yingjie, who had originally wanted to tease Gu Renjie, immediately shut his mouth.
"I understand, Father."
Although he's not as reliable as his older brother usually, he's still got some brains, okay? If only his own family were here, would he have said those things?
"Everything has been said. You can go back now. Your mother and I have a few more words to say." Gu Jin waved his hand as he spoke, and the three of them immediately took their leave.
As he walked out the door toward the study, Gu Yingjie couldn't help but glance at Gu Renjie a few more times.
To be honest, his second brother's demeanor and speech really do resemble that of a prince. It's a pity, though; he's destined to be a subject for life, never a prince.
Gu Yingjie was not at all shocked by Gu Renjie's identity; instead, he was stunned as he recalled all these random things.
"Alright, your eyes are practically popping out of your head if you keep staring." Although Gu Renjie didn't look at Gu Yingjie, he clearly knew that Gu Yingjie was looking him up and down.
"Big brother is stingy. Judging from your behavior just now, you must have known about this all along! But since you already knew, why did you keep it from me and Shu'er? That's not fair at all."
Even at this point, Gu Yingjie still had the mood to blame Gu Renjie for not telling him the truth sooner.
"What's the point of telling you? With your eyes on my body like this?"
Gu Renjie glanced at him with annoyance. It has to be said that he took a long time to accept it when he first found out. On the other hand, Gu Yingjie seemed to not care about it at all, which made him seem like a complete oddball.
"I wonder how Shu'er is doing?"
Compared to Gu Yingjie's attitude, Gu Shuyan's behavior was somewhat similar to his when he first found out—that disbelief, that almost fleeing look.
"Brother, don't worry, what's there to be afraid of with your brother-in-law around!" Gu Renjie said, then suddenly remembered something and said to Gu Renjie with a wicked smile, "Speaking of which, you and your brother-in-law are cousins. According to age, you should call your brother-in-law your cousin, right? I wonder how you feel about this cousin becoming your brother-in-law?"
Gu Yingjie is still the same Gu Yingjie. Even after getting married, his unreliable behavior is still as annoying as ever.
So, Gu Yingjie, who had just become a father, was chased and beaten by his older brother.
Upon returning to the Yun residence, Gu Shuyan locked herself in her room and refused to open the door no matter how much Yun Yichen knocked.
Finally, with no other option, Yun Yichen had to resort to his old trick and climb through the window to enter the house.
Upon closer inspection, Yun Yichen saw Gu Shuyan huddled in the corner. She looked rather vulnerable, like a pitiful little girl who had been abandoned.
Yun Yichen slowly approached and then noticed that Gu Shuyan's face was pale.
"Shushu!" Yun Yichen didn't care about anything else and rushed forward to pick up Gu Shuyan. After placing her on the bed, Yun Yichen immediately took her pulse.
"How could this happen?" Yun Yichen was puzzled. Gu Shuyan's heart knot had obviously improved a lot since she met Lu Youming, so why did this happen again today!
"Brother Yun, I feel unwell."
Gu Shuyan grabbed Yun Yichen's hand. She looked weak and innocent, completely different from her usual self.
"Don't be afraid, Shushu, I'm here." Yun Yichen said as he moved closer to Gu Shuyan to check if she had any other problems.
Gu Shuyan shook her head upon seeing this, "I never thought that my eldest brother was not Father and Mother's biological son, and I never thought that my eldest brother would actually be a member of the Lu family."
As she spoke, two lines of tears slowly slid down her cheeks. "How could my elder brother be a member of the Lu family? How could he be a member of the Lu family? What should I do? What should I do in the future?"
Gu Shuyan looked pained. Yun Yichen felt sorry for her but was also very puzzled. Was it because he was the emperor's son that she found it so hard to accept?
Suddenly, Yun Yichen thought of the past, of when Gu Shuyan had suspected that he was the emperor's son. Her eyes seemed to look similar to now, only without the same pain.
There are also Lu Youming, Lu Yuanbin, and Lu Tianhua.
It seems that every emotional change Gu Shuyan experiences is related to the Lu family.
"Shu'er, what do you think of Lu Hexuan?" Yun Yichen suddenly asked.
Although Gu Shuyan was weak, she could still speak. After hearing his question, Gu Shuyan thought for a moment and said, "Unlike the Lu family, her personality is somewhat similar to that of my cousin Wenxuan."
"Does Shushu dislike him?" Yun Yichen asked gradually.
Without hesitation, Gu Shuyan shook her head. "The Prince Xian helped us before and has a good relationship with Cousin Wenjin. I don't dislike him."
After saying this, Gu Shuyan suddenly realized something.
Seeing that she had thought of it herself, Yun Yichen reached out and held her hand. "No matter who Gu Renjie is or what his status is, he is Shushu's older brother. Since he has the surname Gu, he is a member of your Gu family. If Shushu deliberately distances herself from him because he is a member of the Lu family, wouldn't that be too upsetting?"
Yes! It would be really wrong to treat Gu Renjie like this just because he is the emperor's son.
Moreover, she didn't hate all people with the surname Lu; wasn't Lu Hexuan an exception? But Gu Shuyan still had concerns because the revenge she wanted was to kill all of Lu Youming's relatives.
