Gu Xie was shocked. He suddenly noticed something really terrifying, and he could not help but hold onto Lin Xiaojuan’s hand. “Where did you hear this? What did you hear?”
Why would she ask that out of the blue?
Lin Xiaojuan could clearly see that Gu Xie was shocked, and she understood something. He did not know about this. Could Jing Yun have blurted it out? She told him everything that Jing Yun had told her.
“You didn’t know about this?”
“I had no idea at all. I have to ask my Second Brother about this.”
Young Uncle?
Since when did they have a Young Uncle in their home?
Mom was an only child. They never heard of her having any siblings. Pa had said that she was an orphan since she was young. Then, Gu Xie suddenly thought of something.
He was not a biological child in the Gu Family. This issue struck him on the head like lightning. Many times, he would think of himself as a biological son in the Gu Family, and he never thought about his real background.
Could it be… my biological parents?
Does Second Brother know about this?
Second Brother had reminded me not to go against Yang Po. Could he have known?
In the evening, Gu Yuanli returned to the Gu Manor straight after work, and he immediately came to look for Gu Xie. Gu Xie seemed to be in deep thought. His relations.h.i.+p with Gu Yuanli had been changing for the better, lately and he was unwilling to suspect Gu Yuanli in a vicious way.
“Second Brother, is Yang Po our uncle?”
Gu Yuanli was shocked. Gu Xie understood from his look, and he laughed bitterly. “Indeed, it’s true.”
How dramatic.
“Who told you?”
“Jing Yun said it personally. Bro, why didn’t you tell me?”
“Tell you what?” Gu Yuanli said calmly, returning to his calm and reserved composure. The quiet Second Brother said, “Develop well in the entertainment industry. Be the Movie King that you are, and do whatever you love. Don’t bother about anything else. You don’t have to care about the people of the Yang Family even more. We have nothing to do with them.”
Gu Xie raised his brows. “Nothing?”
“Right. Nothing.” Gu Yuanli was determined. “How dare Jing Yun come and look for you. Ridiculous!”
Gu Xie felt that all of this was weird.
Yet, it somehow made perfect sense.
The Yang Family was a political family with a very strong background, yet they never dealt with Ghost City. If they knew about them being external… unless…
“Back then, did the Yang Family abandon us? Was that why Pa took us in?”
Gu Yuanli felt a sharp pain in his chest. He had been trying hard to keep this a secret, but he could not hide it forever. His silence meant admittance.
Gu Xie was neither sad nor happy. “I got it. Thank you, Second Brother.”
Thank you for never telling me.
He had been dealing with the pain from this cruel truth all these years.
Gu Yuanli looked at Gu Xie with a complicated look.
Lil Sixth, there are more terrifying things that I have not told you about. If I did, this family might be torn apart.
Rose Castle.
Shen Qianshu was in the bathroom, being in great pain. Black Rose would torture her at random timings of the day every single day. Every time, it lasted about ten minutes, and those would be her hardest ten minutes. Each time, it hurt more than before, and it was more intense than before.
She curled up in agony on the floor and bit onto the white towel. She did not want others to hear her in pain. The pain pierced her like a knife stabbing deep into her stomach. It was not just a simple stab. It was stabbing and then moving the knife around while it was still in her tummy. It made her body hurt terribly and very deeply.
The pain could make her almost lose her mind.
I won’t let you achieve whatever you want. Shen Qianshu’s conscience was in a confused state. Her mind and body were being tortured terribly, and she was on the verge of breaking apart.
