Chapter 365: Another Hidden Truth
In the study, it seemed that the clock was wound back a few days ago when Gu Heng and Gu Zijin fought with each other.
“Find a chance to get Xiaoxin back to our Gu Family,” Gu Heng said in a tone that would not welcome a “no” for an answer.
Gu Zijin frowned, “I need to discuss this with Muxuan, and Xiaoxin is too small. We haven’t told her everything yet.” Although Xiaoxin was calling his papa, it was all because of Xiaobai, so he still needed to find a suitable opportunity to tell her everything.
When Gu Heng heard this, he instantly burst into anger, “Xiaoxin is a child of our Gu Family and she must know that she belongs to our Gu Family. What is there to discuss with that woman about it?”
Gu Zijin saw that this conversation seemed to have happened two days ago, and he was a little helpless, “Muxuan is Xiaoxin and Xiaobai’s mother. Of course, she has the right to know about it when it’s a matter about Xiaoxin, and Xiaoxin doesn’t want to leave her, either.”
Gu Heng sneered, “I have seen a lot of women like Qin Muxuan. Those kind women won’t let go until they get what they want. She can have a sexual relationship with you for money and naturally she’ll leave Xiaoxin for money. Give her a sum of money and she’ll give in. The money our Gu Family could offer is way more than that she could earn by working her entire life in the entertainment industry.”
Gu Zijin saw that Gu Heng was getting more and more ridiculous, and he also got angry, “What happened nine years ago was a misunderstanding, and Muxuan was also a victim! Also, you should know by now that she wasn’t a gold digger. Otherwise, when you went to see her a few days ago and threw a cheque at her, she wouldn’t have chosen to refuse.”
Gu Heng actually knew that already, but he still insisted, “Maybe she’s after something bigger. After all, if she has you on her side, what she’ll get will be more than purely money.”
Gu Zijin knew that Gu Heng’s prejudice towards Qin Muxuan could not be changed for a moment. After all, he thought the same at first, so he didn’t want to continue arguing on this issue with him.
“Anyway, leave this matter be for now. When the time is right, I will tell Xiaoxin the truth.”
Gu Zijin already had a plan in his heart. First, he would win Qin Muxuan over to become his wife, and then he would tell Xiaoxin that he was her biological father. Of course, he couldn’t mention this plan in front of Gu Heng now.
Gu Heng didn’t intend to stop and snorted coldly, “Then tell me what you think the right time is.”
Seeing that Gu Zijin remained silent, Gu Heng looked even more disdainful, “Gu Zijin, don’t tell me that you’re so enchanted by that woman that you plan to marry her into the Gu Family!”
Though Gu Heng spoke Gu Zijin’s mind, the expression on Gu Zijin’s face didn’t change. Nor did he reply.
Seeing how stubborn Gu Zijin was, Gu Heng was a little discouraged. He knew that Gu Zijin had been like this since he was a child. He was very determined and persistent, but sometimes this persistence might not be a good thing.
Remembering Ye Han’s words about not fighting with his son, Gu Heng calmed down a little, “Anyways I won’t agree if you’re to marry Qin Muxuan. Let’s put aside the fact that nine years ago, she was only pregnant with your child after she tricked you. Even with her current identity, she is way out of our Gu Family’s league!”
Gu Zijin thought it was a bit ridiculous and asked, “What kind of identity does she have now?”
Gu Heng was stunned for a moment and continued, “She’s just an actress!”
Gu Zijin sneered, “What about Yan Yuxiao? Is Yan Yuxiao worthy of our Gu Family? !”
Gu Heng was completely speechless. Speaking of Yan Yuxiao marrying into the Gu Family, It was indeed a mistake made by Elderly Lady Gu. And Gu Heng could not refute it.
Gu Zijin didn’t want to waste more time trying to talk sense into his father, “Since you’re so unreasonable, then we shouldn’t stay here either. I’ll leave with Xiaoxin and Muxuan immediately.” And he turned around and left the study.
Gu Heng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but due to his pride, he couldn’t say anything.
When Qin Muxuan went to the bathroom with Xiaoxin, Gu Zijin also came down.
“Dad, you’re done,” Xiaobai greeted.
Gu Zijin looked around and didn’t see Qin Muxuan and Xiaoxin anywhere. He frowned and asked, “Where’s your mom and Xiaoxin?”
“Da Bai took Xiaoxin to the bathroom.”
Gu Zijin nodded. “We’ll leave when they come out.”
Xiaobai was surprised, “We’re leaving now? But, mommy promised grandmother to stay here for dinner. ”
Ye Han heard their conversation and came out of the kitchen. “Zijin, why are you leaving now?!”
Gu Zijin let out a “Mhmm” but didn’t explain why.
However, Ye Han could guess the reason. She cursed Gu Heng in her heart and softened her voice, “Zijin, Xiaoxin and I have only met for the first time. I finally talked her into staying here for the night. So let me spend more time with her, okay?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Gu Zijin frowned, “But I promised Xiaoxin to take her to the amusement park.” He was worried that Xiaoxin would think that he couldn’t keep his promise and he didn’t want to leave a bad impression on his daughter.
Ye Han smiled and said, “Don’t worry about that. I’ve already told Xiaoxin that you will take her there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and she is very happy.”
Gu Zijin was speechless when he saw that Ye Han had already arranged everything while he wasn’t around.
Ye Han continued, “Also, Muxuan agreed to stay for the night.”
Gu Zijin finally nodded in agreement.
Ye Han was delighted. As expected, her son cared about Qin Muxuan’s decision. Seeing that her son agreed, Ye Han happily went back to the kitchen.
Seeing Ye Han leave, Xiaobai quickly pulled Gu Zijin to the sofa and sat down, “Dad, sit down, I have something to tell you!”
Caught off his guard, Gu Zijin staggered and almost fell on the sofa. His persona as a domineering and arrogant CEO completely fell apart, but the truth was he’d ditched his persona altogether for a long time in front of his son.
Gu Zijin straightened up and recovered his indifferent look, “What is it?”
Xiaobai frowned and said after sorting everything out, “When Da Bai was chatting with Grandmother just now, she almost fainted. I thought she looked really bad, but she said that she just had low blood sugar, but she never had low blood sugar before. I was very worried about Da Bai. Did she hide anything from us?”
The expression on Gu Zijin’s face changed a bit before he looked indifferent again.
Gu Zijin knew Ye Han’s temper and she liked Qin Muxuan very much, so she couldn’t deliberately provoke her, which could only mean that there was something wrong with Qin Muxuan’s body.
Gu Zijin felt a slight pain in his heart as if it were pricked by needles. For the past few years, how much pain had Qin Muxuan suffered?
Gu Zijin patted Xiaobai on the back, “Don’t worry, I will investigate it. You need to protect your mother well. Don’t let her get hurt again. If anything happens, tell me.”
Xiaobai nodded, “Dad, you too.”
Xiaobai said that without any other intentions, but Gu Zijin thought otherwise. Thinking about it carefully, he was the one who caused Qin Muxuan to get hurt most of the time. Gu Zijin felt his heart ached even more.
Before the two of them could say anything else, Qin Muxuan came out with Xiaoxin and they stopped talking right away.
