Chapter 56: Adultery 23
When Gu Yanchen came back, Gu Zheyan and the others were there.
They were talking about Gu Rong.
"He's quite sensible, moving out so quickly."
Gu Zheyan sighed, "I just don't know if they'll move back."
Gu Zhewan tucked her hair in: "No way, he's not my biological child, how could he have the nerve to move back home?"
"That's hard to say."
Gu Zheyan lowered his voice and said, "If Xiao Song hadn't found out about this, I don't know when he would have told us. Besides, judging by Dad's attitude, he even treats him as his own grandson."
Song Yi was also standing by, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard this, but also a little contented.
He knew that something must have happened to Wen Jianshan personally, but he didn't expect it to be such a big thing. So when he exposed it, Song Yi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. But for this kind of thing, apart from him, Gu Zheyan and Gu Zhewan must have the right to know, and it would be unreasonable to conceal it, so Song Yi didn't feel too guilty.
He thought that he was simply afraid that this matter would get out and cause trouble that would affect the Gu family, so he chose to keep a low profile for the time being. It couldn't be that he was really worried about Gu Rong.
After all, they are not Gu family’s biological children anymore.
As for Gu Chengyuan's words, maybe they were just polite remarks.
After making this mental assumption, Song Yi looked up and saw Gu Yanchen. Even though he didn't know when the other party would come back, he felt a lot more confident.
Just about to say hello with a smile.
Gu Yanchen walked over with an expressionless face: "Uncle-in-law, you're really overreaching. When will it be your turn to worry about the Gu family's affairs?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
Everyone froze, looking at Gu Yanchen with stiff expressions.
Especially Song Yi, his expression was extremely embarrassed.
After a while, Gu Zhewan reacted first and stood up instantly, her face flushed red. "Gu Yanchen, what do you mean?! How can you talk to your elders like that?! He's your uncle-in-law! He's my husband! How can he not take care of the Gu family's affairs?! Such a big thing happened at home, and you didn't tell us, so you think you're right?!"
Gu Zheyan also chimed in: "Yeah, Yanchen, what's wrong with you?!"
"Are you speaking for that kid Gu Rong? Didn't it prove that he is not a biological child of the Gu family? Why are you still siding with outsiders——"
With a bang, Gu Yanchen kicked over the coffee table.
For a moment, everyone was frightened and silent.
It was totally unreasonable for Gu Yanchen to behave in such an inappropriate way, and what was even more unbearable was Gu Yanchen's expression at this moment, which was cold and imposing. He stared at them with an unprecedented scrutiny and indifference, as if he wanted to rip something off of them.
"I'm only saying this once. Don't let me hear any prejudice against Gu Rong again. His last name is Gu, and no matter whether he will have the last name Gu in the future, he is a member of the Gu family. He is my, Gu Yanchen's, younger brother. No one can replace him, and no one can comment on him recklessly."
Gu Yanchen's attitude was very clear, and he didn't give them any face at all. After a long conversation, he made them so upset that their faces turned blue.
Gu Zhewan was so angry that she was shaking: "Gu Yanchen, how dare you talk to your elders like that? Aren't you afraid that grandpa will know——"
"Aunt."
Gu Yanchen looked over and then glanced at Song Yi again. This glance made Song Yi's back shiver with fear: "Why don't you think about how to explain it to Grandpa first."
Gu Zheyan and Gu Zhewan couldn't help but look at each other. When they thought of a possibility, their faces changed instantly.
"Could it be..."
"It was Grandpa's idea to keep it a secret, but the next day, the whole thing came to light, and Gu Rong even moved out..." Gu Yanchen paused, looking at the faces of several people who had changed at the same time, especially Song Yi's, and couldn't help but feel ironic: "So what do you think Grandpa's reaction would be?"
Without paying any more attention to them, Gu Yanchen left and returned to his room.
Not long after, Uncle Li came and knocked on the door, saying that Gu Chengyuan was waiting for him in the study.
When Gu Zheyan, Gu Zhewan and others came earlier, Gu Chengyuan deliberately did not come out, and he also had the intention of leaving them out in the cold. However, since Gu Yanchen made such a big noise, he could not remain silent any longer. He asked them to go to the study and knocked a few times. After knocking them down even more, he waved his hand and asked them to leave. Only then did he call Gu Yanchen over.
Gu Chengyuan felt that Gu Yanchen's reaction was really too much.
"They are your elders after all."
Gu Chengyuan looked at Gu Yanchen and was a little surprised when he heard Uncle Li say that Gu Yanchen had lost his temper, because Gu Yanchen had never lost his composure like this before, nor had he ever had such a big mood swing, and... "I know you are speaking up for Gu Rong, but Yanchen, Gu Rong moving away shouldn't be blamed on your uncles and others, right?"
When he heard that his brother had left, he immediately went out to chase him, and when he came back he humiliated everyone. There seemed to be something wrong, which Gu Chengyuan found a little difficult to understand.
"Elders should act like elders."
When facing Gu Chengyuan, Gu Yanchen still spoke without being polite: "Grandpa, I just want them to understand that Gu Rong is irreplaceable to me."
Now Gu Chengyuan was even more silent, and a strange feeling passed through his mind.
Compared to the things that happened in the Gu family, Gu Rong's side seemed much warmer.
Xu Junyue came back later and was surprised to see Gu Rong. He scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. He had heard of this young Mr. Gu and some rumors about Gu Rong. Before they met, knowing his and Gu Rong's life experience, Xu Junyue had thought about how Gu Rong would react and whether he would not look at him well.
But when we met yesterday, I found out that it was not the case at all, nor was it like what the rumors said.
He is very polite, well-spoken and comfortable to be with. Most importantly, he is also good-looking and has a face that is very appetizing to eat with.
Especially after knowing that Gu Rong was born half an hour later than himself, Xu Junyue looked at Gu Rong with a more friendly and kind look: "Then I will call you Xiao Rong from now on. How about it? I didn't have time to talk in detail last time. In fact, I really want to talk to you. I feel that it is a rare fate that we can hold the wrong baby, haha..."
Gu Rong couldn't help laughing and said jokingly, "Okay, you call me Xiao Rong, then I'll call you Brother Yue?"
Brother Yue was suddenly speechless, as no one had ever called him that before.
Xu Zhian and Cheng Yunqing brought the dishes to the table. There were four people and a table full of dishes. It was as sumptuous as Chinese New Year. They also asked Gu Rong what she liked to eat in advance and cooked dishes that Gu Rong liked. Xu Junyue had no objection at all. He even felt that he was older than Gu Rong and had the responsibility of being an older brother, so he kept picking up dishes for Gu Rong.
"Xiaorong, eat more."
Xu Junyue remembered something: "By the way, does Big Brother know that you are here?"
The "big brother" naturally refers to Gu Yanchen.
Xu Junyue and Gu Yanchen had the most contact and didn't feel any particular pressure when getting along with each other, so changing his tone was smoother and more natural.
Gu Rong nodded and said that Gu Yanchen knew.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhian and Cheng Yunqing also looked over.
There seemed to be some hesitation, but Xu Zhian and Cheng Yunqing looked at each other and said, "Xiao Rong, are you living well in the Gu family?"
Actually, I've wanted to ask this for a long time.
It was just that it was not convenient to ask in front of Gu Chengyuan and Gu Yanchen.
I also feel that asking such questions seems like overthinking.
But today, when they saw Gu Rong coming with luggage, they really couldn't help but ask this question.
After all, ever since they learned the truth about the wrong baby, they also knew that Xu Junyue's biological parents both died on the day he was born. That is to say, Gu Rong has been without parents since childhood, and his birthday is also his parents' death anniversary... Under such a premise, what will it be like for Gu Rong to live in the Gu family?
The couple also inquired about the situation. The more they heard rumors outside, the more they couldn't help but think about it.
"Nothing bad."
Gu Rong smiled and picked up some food for Xu Zhian and Cheng Yunqing: "Don't worry too much, I've always been fine."
After saying that, he also picked up a piece of food for Xu Junyue with chopsticks, and then looked at Xu Junyue.
For some reason, Xu Junyue understood what Gu Rong meant instantly, and then calmly helped her change the subject.
But he kept this matter in mind. It happened that he was going to Gu's the next day. After entering Gu Yanchen's office to discuss cooperation, he couldn't help but ask this question. In addition, knowing that the anniversary of his biological parents' death had just passed, he also wanted to ask him when he would go to pay his respects and whether he needed to see relatives on his mother's side.
"That's right, I wanted to tell you something."
Gu Yanchen clasped his hands together. Just as he had said before at the Tang family, he would tell Xu Junyue all the treatment Gu Rong had suffered over the years and let Xu Junyue judge for himself. After all, if the wrong child had not been taken away, it would probably be Xu Junyue himself who suffered all this.
"The Tang family wants to see you. If you want to, I won't stop you. I just want to make clear to you their attitude over the years."
Gu Yanchen paused: "Of course, their attitude towards you and Gu Rong is different."
"You might be able to—"
"I'm feeling pretty uncomfortable right now."
Xu Junyue frowned and said, "Brother, I really didn't expect it to be like this. When Xiaorong said that yesterday, I thought it was just like he said, and that things have been going pretty well these past few years."
"Forget it, big brother. Thinking about how Xiaorong suffered for me, if we weren't taken away by mistake, I would be the one to suffer all this. I don't want to meet anyone from the Tang family."
"I'd better wait and see until I can get my mind right."
After Xu Junyue finished speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Yanchen to answer, and couldn't help but look over: "Brother?"
Gu Yanchen's brows were furrowed tightly as he stared at Xu Junyue: "You call him Xiaorong?"
"Ah, yes."
Xu Junyue was still oblivious: "I was born half an hour earlier than him, so I can be considered his older brother, hey."
"He said he called me Brother Yue, but just calling me Brother is fine too."
Gu Yanchen was in no mood to listen any further and even wanted to grab Xu Junyue by the collar and throw him out.
That "Hey" was enough to make his veins pop out.
There's not a single word I like to hear.
Gu Yanchen had to interrupt Xu Junyue: "You and A Rong get along well?"
"Arong is sometimes quite willful. If he speaks to you rudely, you don't have to think too much about it."
These two sentences cannot be savored carefully.
Fortunately, Xu Junyue didn't have the heart to think too much, and nodded casually: "Very good, we get along very well. We talked a lot yesterday. I like him very much."
"Don't worry, big brother. I won't misunderstand him because of the rumors outside. I think we get along very well."
For the first time, Gu Yanchen felt choked. He stared at Xu Junyue for a long while. He was so tired that he didn't want to talk. He waved goodbye and let him go without saying a few words.
As a result, he himself was a little impatient. He left early for the first time in the afternoon. When he came out of the office, Qi Si, who was sitting behind his desk, was stunned. It took him a long time to react. They thought that their boss Gu really left work early, and didn't even say hello in advance. What was he rushing to do?!
