Chapter 307:I Never Had Dual Personalities
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I’m afraid that Mom will abuse you to death!”
“She won’t.” Lu Zhiyuan ntioned Gu Ci, his tone softened a bit, without the restraint and subtlety of the Third Master, nor the overbearing dominance of the Third Young Master. It was as if a gentleness had been neutralized, with a stronger power erging.
Gu Ziyu coldly snorted, “Dad, to be honest, I can see the surveillance in the secret room.”
Lu Zhiyuan thought about the conflict he had with Gu Ci a few days ago, where he pointed a gun at her and she almost shot him. They even slapped each other. He fell into a subtle silence.
“Scenes of dostic violence aren’t suitable for children to watch. Next ti, you should control yourself rationally!” Lu Zhiyuan sincerely advised him.
“You’re really weird,” Gu Ziyu puzzled, “You’re neither like the Third Young Master nor the Third Master. Who are you, really?”
“People have many facets. A heinous murderer might also be a gentle old father on the surface, while an honest-looking person could secretly be a thief. Towering law enforcent officers may have their own hidden agendas. You act as the stern judge in national security, but in front of Cici, don’t you also act cute?” Lu Zhiyuan asked, “So, I have many facets, what’s strange about that?” “Damn!” Gu Ziyu took a step back, “You… admitted before that you have a split personality.”
Now he’s denying it completely?
Do adults go back on their words like this?
“I never had a split personality.”
“Dad, did Mom lock you up for a few days, and now you’ve gone crazy?” Gu Ziyu seriously suspected that he was possessed by evil spirits. “Don’t tell there’s another personality inside your body, which is you!”
Then he would go crazy!
Lu Zhiyuan’s face turned cold, and his imposing manner grew stronger. “Gu Ziyu, what nonsense are you talking about?”
In that mont, Gu Ziyu could clearly feel that this was the Third Master.
Lu Zhiyuan suddenly smiled. “What? Scared?”
Gu Ziyu was speechless.
Gu Ziyu understood. “So, you can switch freely now?”
Lu Zhiyuan rubbed his forehead. “I have my doubts about your IQ.”
“I have two doctorates, which you don’t have!” Gu Ziyu didn’t accept the insult. “Even if you’re my dad, you can’t insult .”
“There’s a complicated relationship between your mother and , sothing 1 can’t explain to you right now. Ziyu, no matter what happens in the future, whether I’m by your side or not, you must protect your mother.” Lu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice. “I know you lived until you were eighteen in your previous life. You’re an adult now, and you have responsibilities. Rember what Dad told you, alright?”
Gu Ziyu suddenly widened his eyes. The fact that he lived to a certain age in his previous life was sothing he had never ntioned to anyone, not even his mother. How did Dad find out?
“You… you…” Gu Ziyu felt a sense of panic and confusion, realizing that Lu Zhiyuan was entrusting him with sothing. He got a bit agitated. “Lu Zhiyuan, take care of your own wife, I’m busy!”
Lu Zhiyuan’s brows furrowed, and his gaze turned cold. Gu Ziyu once again saw the shadow of the Third Master in him, as if what Lu Zhiyuan had said was true—there was never really a Third Master and a Third Young Master; it was just one person with many facets.
Gu Ziyu had co to see him out of concern. That day, when he watched the surveillance footage of their intense confrontation, he had broken into a cold sweat. But now, seeing Lu Zhiyuan again, he felt startled.
After Gu Ziyu closed the door and hurriedly went upstairs, he ran into Gu Ci as she was coming in.
Gu Ci asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, Mom. Did you and the old man settle things?”
“We did,” Gu Ci replied. “Why don’t you see him off?”
Gu Ziyu nodded, suppressing his emotions. As he saw Chen Liangdong off, he couldn’t shake the feeling of distraction. Chen Liangdong noticed it and asked, “Why do you seem lost in thought?”
“There’s sothing I can’t figure out!”
“That’s a coincidence; I have sothing I can’t figure out too!”
The old and the young fell silent simultaneously.
After seeing Chen Liangdong off, Gu Ziyu hesitated, plucking at the callias in the yard with a worried expression. Gu Ci finished tidying up the cups and asked Gu Ziyu, “What’s wrong?”
“Mom, the old man is suspicious of you. They might be monitoring your phone and your movents in national security. Be cautious.” It was standard procedure, and Gu Ziyu was just giving Gu Ci a heads-up.
“Will he invade the indoor caras?”
“No further evidence suggests that he will,” Gu Ziyu was quite familiar with this procedure. “Just don’t give them any reason to suspect you. If it cos to it, it won’t be handling this.”
“I understand.” Gu Ci ruffled his hair. “How is your stay at Great-Grandma’s house?”
“Great-Grandma spoils too much. She prepares a lot of delicious food every day. Mom, do you think I’ve gained weight?” Gu Ziyu said. “I’ve been there for five days, and I’ve gained five pounds. Chen Liangdong is only training on weekends now. After the New Year, will I beco a little chubby?”
Gu Ci carefully examined her son. He had gained so weight, but Gu Ziyu’s tall, lean fra ant that the five pounds he had put on didn’t show at all. “Then eat until you’re 80% full!”
“It’s too hard. I eat until I’m stuffed every al.” Gu Ziyu chatted with her, cleverly avoiding any ntion of Lu Zhiyuan or suggesting she see a doctor.
After all, having seen the surveillance footage, Gu Ziyu knew that Gu Ci’s condition was deteriorating.
He could only trust Lu Zhiyuan!
“Mom, I’m leaving!” Gu Ziyu hugged her waist. “You have to take care of yourself. I can’t be without you.”
Gu Ci was montarily startled. Gu Ziyu picked up his backpack and left the Bluefield Villa.
Gu Ci stood on the second floor, watching her son’s lonely figure, feeling a piercing pain in her heart. This kind of pain seed to entwine her nerves like vines. Gu Ziyu had only one friend, Ji Chi.
Since coming to this tiline, he had beco more cheerful and outgoing, and he attended school like a normal student, but he still had only Ji Chi as a friend. He was a unique presence, as if he intentionally avoided forming necessary emotional connections with anyone other than his parents, Ji Chi, and the Jiang family. He seed like he could disappear at any mont, as if he didn’t want to have attachnts from the start.
He was a loner.
Gu Ziyu couldn’t survive in his previous life, couldn’t find any hope, and couldn’t fit into this life because he was an existence outside the trajectory of life. If she and Lu Zhiyuan were both gone, what would happen to Gu Ziyu?
“Ziyu…” She couldn’t help but call her son’s na. She had once wanted to heal Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ziyu, but the one who was most seriously ill turned out to be herself.
This was the first ti that she had the genuine desire to treat herself.
The scariest type of patient wasn’t one who denied having an illness; it was soone like Gu Ci, who was fully aware of her illness but refused to seek treatnt. She had clear logic and agile thinking, but she simply wanted to live in her own delusions and refused to wake up.
She went downstairs, where Lu Zhiyuan had been waiting for Gu Ci. Ever since their near falling out when he had almost shot her, Gu Ci hadn’t seen him..
