Chapter 414: 414 Why should I betray my husband? (3)_1
Upon hearing Gu Tianyu’s words, everyone burst into laughter, exclaiming, "It seems that for a man of great success, a beautiful woman is indispensable."
"Tianyu, you must work hard this ti, otherwise if your wife refuses to have children, what will beco of the Gu family’s lineage?"
Only Eleven, smiled sowhat forcefully, watching Gu Tianyu with an inscrutable gaze.
Get out, who wants to bear his child!
Even if he were to overpower Gu Liancheng, and she were to beco the new CEO of Liancheng Group, she would never bear his child!
So faced with his words, Eleven only let out a cold, disdainful laugh, leaving him to ponder upon it.
...
Eleven walked out of the restaurant booth, and saw Gu Xi washing her hands at the sink.
"Auntie!" Upon seeing her, Gu Xi greeted her politely.
Eleven smiled in response.
Gu Xi was only slightly shorter than her. When the little girl grew up, she would undoubtedly be taller.
"Auntie, you don’t talk much, are you feeling shy?"
"Yes, indeed." The more one speaks, the more mistakes one makes. She was content to eat in silence.
"Don’t fear, they are all nice people."
Eleven gave a faint smile.
If . . .
If she hadn’t known Gu Liancheng, she too would have viewed them as a harmonious family with no disagreents. But every ti she thought of Gu Liancheng, or of their deliberate alienation of him in their conversation, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
When it ca to matters of the heart, she spent more ti with Gu Liancheng and was more inclined to believe he was a good person.
Therefore, she didn’t show much affection towards them, except for Gu Xi.
Gu Xi was still a child, with innocence in her eyes, not unlike Cute. She just couldn’t take a dislike to her.
Huh....
Upon closer inspection, Cute and Gu Xi... looked sowhat alike...
No, Cute wasn’t a descendant of the Gu Family, how could he resemble them? It must be a coincidence.
"There seems to be one less person at the table...?" Eleven tentatively asked.
Gu Xi hesitated for a mont, looking at Eleven, "Auntie, do you know him too?"
"The ’him’ you are referring to... is it your Fourth Uncle?"
"He’s not my Fourth Uncle."
"Why not?"
"My grandpa said, he’s not a part of the Gu Family, he caused the death of my dad, got my second uncle imprisoned, and took my third uncle’s belongings. There’s no one as wicked as him in the Gu Family." Gu Xi explained without any hint of resentnt in her eyes, "And grandpa also said, he disowns him, the Gu Family disowns."
As Gu Xi said this, Eleven also recalled the rumors outside.
They matched what she had heard.
Could all the rumors be true?
Did he do all those things that left him with no place in the Gu Family?
However, Eleven felt that even if he were to be condemned to death, he should be given a chance to explain. So she was not ready to convict him just yet. Perhaps things weren’t exactly as they seed?
"Your father is... Gu Anyi, the Gu Family’s eldest son?"
Gu Xi nodded, "Yes, both my dad and mom are dead. He caused their deaths."
No wonder....
No sign of Gu Xi’s mother could be seen at the dinner table. So she had also...
The death of the wife of the eldest son of the Gu Family didn’t seem to be widely known.
"Who told you all this?"
"My grandpa and the others. I was only seven when my parents died. One day when I returned from school, our ho was entirely different. He used to be nice to , but later, my grandpa and the others wouldn’t let
call him Fourth Uncle any longer, saying he caused our ho to be in a state of chaos. Afterwards, he also moved out and no longer lived in the Gu Residence, and we only saw him occasionally during festivals."
