Confession of Rebirth

Gu Chen was silent for a while.

Papa Gu noticed Gu Chen's embarrassment, and asked cautiously, "What's the matter, isn't it inconvenient?"

"It's really inconvenient." Gu Chen said calmly, "I've been very busy recently. I can't entertain you even if you're here."

On the other end of the phone, Mama Gu said in a slightly louder voice: "We don't need you to entertain us, we just want to go and see you. We will come back after a quick look. We won't cause you any trouble."

Gu Chen frowned, not knowing what to say.The main reason is that this time point is very troublesome. The Huo family and the Zhou family are sharpening their swords and preparing to do something. If the Gu family comes to City A at this time, if they are not careful, they will be used by the Huo and Zhou families to get involved in their conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen said to Gu's father, "Dad, you hand over the phone to my mother."

Papa Gu obeyed.Gu's mother answered the phone and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Shen Chen, mom just wants to visit you. Mom won't cause you any trouble."

Gu Chen asked: "Do you know who threw Ling Xiu into the river outside Gu's village 19 years ago?"

When Gu's mother heard this, she was stunned.Some puzzled and asked: "...this happened many years ago. How would I know. I didn't see who threw the child. Why did you suddenly ask about this? Do you know who threw the child away? Xiuxiu—"

Mother Gu paused for a moment, then changed her words: "...the one who threw Ling Xiu into the river?"

Gu Chen continued to ask: "How many daughters did grandma and grandpa have in total?"

Mother Gu frowned: "What's the matter? What did you hear outside? Why are you asking this kind of question today?"

Gu Chen said lightly: "Someone told me that the person who stole Ling Xiu was Chairman Ling's mistress. And the mistress who stole the child was the educated youth couple who went to the mountains and countryside in Gu's Village and then returned to the city. that child."

Mother Gu couldn't believe it: "How is this possible! Who told you?"

Gu Chen didn't answer Gu's mother's question, and continued: "You should have heard of the Dazhou Group and the Huo Group. The person who broke the news also told me that Chairman Ling's mistress stole the child back then. To the chairman of Dazhou Group."

"...The Huo Group knew about this matter through some channels, and told me about it. The chairman of the Dazhou Group also knew that I knew about this matter. Presumably, the Ling Group will know about it in the near future Are you sure you want to come to City A at this time?"

When Gu's mother heard this, she panicked: "What do you mean? You mean someone framed me for colluding with others and stealing the Ling family's child? This is too ridiculous. I don't even know Chairman Ling's mistress... "

"... That's right. Back then, the poor in the family couldn't help it. Your grandparents did give a newly born girl to an old educated youth couple who returned to the city. But that happened more than 40 years ago. For so many years, the two families have had no contact. How did they know that the mistress was the girl sent out by our Gu family? Isn't this a deliberate frame up!"

Gu's mother has lived a clean and honest life for most of her life, and she has never done anything illegal.Who would have thought that when he was old, he would become a human trafficker in the mouth of others.Mama Gu can't bear this blame.In desperation, Gu's mother cried to Gu Chen: "Don't just listen to other people's rumors. Who said this! It's too wicked. How can there be such a bully? I have worked so hard to raise Having been with Ling Xiu for 19 years, is he still a sinner?"

Gu Chen listened to Gu's mother's defense: "Have you never seen the person who threw the child? She went back to Gu's Village and didn't meet you?"

"No! No! There is nothing at all!" Gu's mother was anxious: "I don't know where you heard it. Where did I know Chairman Ling's mistress. I want to know who threw the child , Didn’t I tell the police when I called the police?”

"I see." Gu Chen comforted: "Don't worry too much. No one has any evidence to say that this matter is related to you—"

"It has nothing to do with me at all!" Gu's mother interrupted Gu Chen, and couldn't help guessing wildly: "Could they want to pour this dirty water on my head?"

From the day Ling Xiu recognized his ancestor and returned to the Ling family, the Ling family never acknowledged the kindness of the Gu family for adopting Ling Xiu.It's fine if you don't appreciate it, and you still find fault everywhere, wishing to trample the Gu family under your feet.Mother Gu can't see this attitude.So now she is really worried that the Ling family will take advantage of the issue and deliberately discredit her.

"Don't worry. I will take care of this matter." Gu Chen comforted him patiently: "As long as you have nothing to do with this matter, no one can slander you."

Gu's father snatched the phone that Gu's mother was holding tightly in her hand, and asked Gu Chen: "What's going on?"

Gu Chen repeated briefly: "So I don't suggest you come here now. You can come again after this matter is resolved. I can also spend some time with you."

Father Gu frowned: "Your mother is timid. You will scare her when you say these things to her. But what you said really has nothing to do with your mother. I can testify to this. No matter the woman who stole the child is It's not the child your grandfather gave away. She has nothing to do with your mother. Your mother has never seen her. She hasn't been to Gujia Village either. At least she hasn't entered the village. "

Papa Gu paused, and then explained to Gu Chen: "Gu's Village is just such a big place. Who doesn't know anyone in the village? Especially in the environment 20 years ago, if a woman with a face enters the village, There is still a child with you, can the big guys not notice it? As long as there is one person who sees it, the police came to the village to investigate and found nothing. Your mother is too kind-hearted to see the child sent to the orphanage suffer."

Gu Chen could understand Papa Gu's meaning.

Papa Gu said again: "Be careful, don't let those people talk nonsense on the Internet. Your mother is still a teacher in a village elementary school. If there are any rumors, how can she meet people? And your grandparents, They are old, if you don't tell them about this, don't let them know."

Gu Chen understood.

Papa Gu hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn't hold back, and asked: "...You said that when Ling Xiu was recognized by the Ling family, our whole family went to City A to celebrate them, but the attitude of the Ling family was not because of this. Son?"

"No. The Ling family probably doesn't know about it yet." Gu Chen said, "They are simply stupid, bad and arrogant, and look down on the Gu family."

Papa Gu: "..."

Gu Chen comforted: "Don't think too much. From now on, everyone will not violate the river. Even if they want to cheat people, I will not agree."

Papa Gu was still worried.After all, the Ling family is very powerful, and the Huo Group and the Da Zhou Group are not easy to mess with.In case of any bad intentions, Gu Chen, a college student who is alone and weak, can resist anything?

But it's not easy for Gu's father to tell Gu Chenming such things.Distraught for a moment.I can't help but also complain that Mama Gu was so meddling and kind that she insisted on adopting a wolf like Ling Xiu.After 19 years of raising her in vain, she didn't get any good results, but instead caused a lot of trouble.

"What's wrong with this!" After hanging up the phone, Gu's father couldn't help complaining to Gu's mother: "Did our Gu family owe this little bastard in the previous life? It's a disaster for us."

Gu's mother sighed with a sad face, and felt that the root of her tongue was bitter.

Papa Gu said again: "You must not let your parents know about this matter. The elders are old, and there is no need to get angry because of this kind of thing."

Mother Gu sighed: "You said what if the person who stole the child is really—"

"Whether it is or not, it has nothing to do with our family." Gu's father interrupted Gu's mother: "What does the old saying say? The water thrown out by the daughter who is married, let alone the daughter who is given away. That is not from our Gu family." .”

"That's what I said, but what if the Ling family insists on making things big. Will those netizens call me a human trafficker? And that Ling Xiu, will they blackmail Shen Shen with this matter?" Mother Gu thought more and more Scared and worried, he couldn't sleep at night: "How could this happen? I dare not write that on TV. This is too coincidental."

"Don't think about it." Gu's father was also worried, and there was nothing he could do.Can only sit and wait.Pray that those people don't spread this on the Internet.

On the other side, after Gu Chen hung up the phone, he turned around and saw Professor Xing standing in the living room with his arms on his waist.

Professor Xing didn't eavesdrop on purpose. The key point is that the house is such a big place, and the sound insulation of the apartment building is not very good.Gu Chen forgot to close the door when he was on the phone on the balcony, so that Professor Xing could hear it very clearly in the living room.

"What's going on?" Professor Xing asked with a frown: "What does this matter have to do with the Da Zhou Group and the Huo Group? They threatened you with this?"

"It's an old story. I'm afraid only the person involved will know what happened." Gu Chen didn't take it seriously: "...and didn't threaten me either. What could they threaten me? I didn't steal the child, and I didn't steal it. The evidence is related to my mother. If there is a quarrel, I can sue them for spreading rumors and slander. I have a stall network, so I am afraid that they will turn black and white and make troubles?"

Professor Xing is still a little worried: "It is necessary to be defensive. Even if there is no evidence, with the disposition and temper of Chairman Zhou and Chairman Ling's wife, if you really want to make trouble, you will be in trouble."

Gu Chen smiled: "Then keep them from making trouble."

Professor Xing looked at Gu Chen's swearing expression, and couldn't help being curious: "What are you going to do?"

Gu Chen helped Professor Xing into the study.Because the move was in a hurry, there were still several sealed cardboard boxes on the ground, all of which were Gu Chen's books, materials and notes.Gu Chen picked up the utility knife on the table, squatted in front of a cardboard box with "2" written on it, opened the box, and took out a black notebook from inside.Pass it to Professor Xing.

Professor Xing took the notebook suspiciously, opened it, and was shocked.

"This, this kind of commercial secret, how do you know?"

Gu Chen smiled slightly.In his previous life, he worked for so many years for nothing in Ling's Group, but in the end he was kicked out by Ling's family.But these years are not for nothing, at least Gu Chen has mastered many core secrets of the Ling Group, including the evidence that Mrs. Ling embezzled public funds and violated laws and regulations.

Gu Chen was going to hand over part of the ledger to Chairman Ling.I hope Chairman Ling can restrain his wife and children.
