Gu Lianzhou never responded to Shen Zhang's words from beginning to end.
His deep gaze swept past Shen Zhang's hypocritical smile and landed on Shen Zhiyi's wet eyes.
At this moment, she was like a blank sheet of paper that could be painted on at will.
Spoiled and timid, easily controlled.
Perhaps, this is the only turning point in the storm he is about to face...
"The patient is awake." The doctor opened the door and came out. "Please come in, Young Master Lianzhou."
He lifted his leather shoes slightly.
Gu Lianzhou stepped into the house and closed the door.
A paternity test report was thrown at him without warning.
Gu Lianzhou paused for a moment.
Looking at Shen Qing, whose face was gloomy on the hospital bed, I bent down and picked up the report from the floor.
"President Shen."
"Don't call me." Shen Qing's face was pale, but his tone was filled with anger. "I never thought your mother would have the audacity to switch my child with Xiao Wan's."
He remembered what Xiaowan had said before she died—
"Shen Qing, I gave birth to a son for you, so I owe the Shen family nothing anymore."
"I only pray that in my next life, I will never meet you again."
"Please let me go."
He felt a pang of heartache.
Although I felt there might be some hidden story, I didn't want to delve into it.
He was afraid that if he investigated further, he would find that it was all his own fault.
He couldn't face the outcome.
Shen Qing closed his eyes and said, "You've held Zhiyi's identity for so many years and enjoyed so much happiness for her. It's time to give it all back to her."
Gu Lianzhou's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
Enjoying life?
His expression was cold, and he did not utter a word.
“I have already sent someone to change the will. The only heir to the Shen family is Zhiyi.” Shen Qing’s voice was weak, but his words carried great weight. “From today onwards, you will change your surname to Gu, and your name will not appear in the family genealogy or household registration.”
"If you want to stay in the Shen family, the only way out is to take my place, properly teach Zhiyi, and help her successfully enter the board of directors and take charge of the conglomerate."
"Otherwise, you won't get a single penny."
He stared at the paternity test report in Gu Lianzhou's hand and said coldly, "If this matter is settled, I will make a separate will and give you 5% of the company's shares."
Gu Lianzhou was cultivated by him.
His abilities were not only something that Shen Zhang feared, but even he himself was somewhat afraid of them.
He dared not think too deeply about what would happen to Zhiyi if he did not make plans early.
He already owes Xiaowan a debt.
She must never again let down her daughter, who looks so much like her.
Gu Lianzhou lowered his eyelashes, concealing the madness churning in his dark eyes.
Five percent?
Oh.
To send away a beggar.
He has dedicated so much time and effort; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should receive 79% of the shares.
Instead of such small, sporadic acts of charity.
His long eyelashes covered his eyes, concealing all emotions.
...
After a long while, the ward door was reopened.
Gu Lianzhou walked out from inside, striding with his long legs, and walked up to Shen Zhiyi.
Let's go.
"Where are we going?" Shen Zhiyi looked at him blankly, her eyes still showing fear.
She even glanced at Shen Zhang as if seeking help.
Gu Lianzhou turned around, his face expressionless.
"go home."
A black Cullinan drove into the Shen family's gate.
The two remained silent the entire way.
Gu Lianzhou got out of the car first and walked forward without looking back.
The air pressure around him was frighteningly low.
Shen Zhiyi glanced at the cage-like gate, then jogged and hurried to catch up with him.
"Brother! Wait for me!"
Gu Lianzhou stopped abruptly.
His tall figure froze for a moment, then he turned to look at her, his brows furrowing deeply.
"What...did you call me?"
