Confession of Rebirth

"That old fox surnamed Zhou doesn't want to offend the Huo family, and it's so harmless to expose negative news. It's really unpleasant." Gu Chen said lazily while eating fruit while leaning on the sofa.

"So, do you want to help him?" Zhong Lisui sat next to him and asked while peeling an apple.

Just as Gu Chen was about to speak, his cell phone rang suddenly.Gu Chen glanced at the caller ID, it was Gu's mother calling.

The moment he connected the phone, Gu Chen could hear sobbing coming from the other side of the receiver.

"Shen Chen..." Mother Gu hesitated to speak on the phone: "Mom didn't do it on purpose. Mom doesn't know why things turned out like this."

Are you finally going to tell the truth?Gu Chen said softly: "Don't worry. Speak slowly."

Mother Gu has been under a lot of pressure recently.She never thought that this incident would turn out to be so big.Now people from the village come to their house every day to inquire about what happened back then, and there are also media reporters who come from nowhere, blocking their door every day.Even the leaders of the Education Bureau and the school called to inquire about what happened back then.Gu's mother didn't know if this incident would affect the future life of their Gu family.She couldn't even imagine how she would face other teachers and students in the school after school started.

"..." Gu's mother was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "I really didn't know that this matter would become so complicated."

Gu's mother said: "This matter has to start from 19 years ago."

In the summer vacation 19 years ago, when Gu's mother and Gu's father went shopping in the provincial capital, they were stopped by a woman in a red dress with big sunglasses and a scarf on her face.

"I was shocked at that time." Gu's mother said: "That woman told me that she was the child your grandfather gave to the educated youth who returned to the city. I just learned about my life experience and wanted to go home and have a look."

"I still know about this matter. When your mother was young, the country did not implement family planning! Every family had seven or eight children. They were already poor, and there were so many people who opened their mouths to eat. It was almost impossible to open the pot. Your grandfather I gave away the youngest daughter in the family. It is said that it is for the old educated youth who have no fertility."

"But this happened many years ago. We didn't believe that woman who suddenly came to us and said this. But what she said was true, and she even took out the clothes that your grandfather wore when he gave away the child. A suit of clothes. The needlework looks like your grandma's. I have a similar suit. It was changed from a coat that your aunt couldn't wear. As soon as she took out that little dress, I believed it. gone."

"...It's always a guest from afar. Although we don't know why she came back after so many years. But people are here, we just want to bring them home for your grandparents to meet. I'm also happy Happy. Then she said no."

"...She said that the reason why she knew her life experience was because she was found out as a mistress in the city, and her wife hired someone to ruin her face. The boss who took care of her didn't want her anymore. She gave birth to the child with a big belly, but the boss was afraid of his wife and refused to even have the child. Her current adoptive parents thought she was ashamed and severed ties with her."

"My blood pressure went up when I heard it." Gu's mother recalled on the phone: "You know where our Gu family village is. The folk customs are so simple, your grandma and grandpa have been innocent all their lives, and they have never done anything embarrassing. The daughter who was sent out was kicked out of the house in the city as a mistress. If I let her go back to Gujia Village with me, your grandma and grandpa will not be able to be human in the village. Even bringing children will be embarrassing. Your grandpa and grandpa can mad."

"I was young at the time. I just gave her a scolding. I said she was shameless and innocent. She did such a shameful thing, and she had the nerve to come back and recognize her relatives. I don't mind dirtying our house."

"In the end, the girl didn't say anything." Gu's mother recalled: "I was scared when I went home with your father. I made a detour to come back. I was afraid that she would follow us. Later, when I thought about it, she didn't know what to do. Now that I know Gu Family Village, it's easy to find it."

"In those few days, your dad and I were so scared that we couldn't sleep well. I didn't dare to tell your grandparents, for fear of making them angry. I didn't dare to tell others, how embarrassing this kind of thing is!"

As a result, a few days later, Mother Gu picked up a child while washing clothes by the river.That child is white and clean, and he doesn't look like their country child at first glance.Gu's mother guessed that this child was the child Liang Yuanyuan gave birth to the big boss.

"When I called the police, I hesitated again and again and wanted to tell the police." But if Mama Gu told her about meeting Liang Yuanyuan, she would not be able to hide Liang Yuanyuan's being a mistress.

"I'm afraid that the embarrassment of our family will spread to the provincial capital. I can't afford to lose that person." Besides, since Liang Yuanyuan was so cruel as to throw her child into the river, she must have made up her mind not to have a child.She said at the time that the boss who took care of her was afraid of his wife and refused to have children. Gu's mother guessed that Liang Yuanyuan probably wanted to force her into the palace with her belly pregnant, but failed.The junior was unsuccessful in taking the position, and was disfigured by the eldest wife.Liang Yuanyuan must have angered the child.If you can lose your child once, you can lose your child a second time and a third time.Mother Gu can pick it up once, but she can't pick it up the second time and the third time.

"This mother is too ruthless. No matter what, children are innocent. I thought at the time, I must not say this. If people know that there is someone in our family who is a mistress A daughter who cruelly threw her own son into the river, wouldn't our family's family style be ruined? In the future, how will your aunt and uncle marry a daughter-in-law?"

So mother Gu really didn't say anything.At that time, she thought that if the police really found out, she would accept her fate.But the police searched for a long time and found no clues.In the end, the child can only be treated as an orphan and sent to an orphanage.Gu's mother thought she knew the child's life experience, so she couldn't just watch her sister's flesh and blood being sent to the orphanage.Regardless of the opposition of his family, he insisted on adopting the child.Fortunately, Papa Gu also supported her.

Who knew that so many bad things would happen after 19 years.If I had known earlier, she might as well have listened to her family's advice and sent the child to an orphanage.

Gu's mother can't express her regret now.She faintly sensed that Gu Chen was separated from her.But she really can't help it.

Gu's mother said: "I always thought that Lingxiu was not liked by his parents. He was rejected by his biological parents when he was born. So I usually treat him better. How would I know that woman is so courageous that she dared to steal? Someone else's child, and said he gave birth to it."

Gu Chen used the public release.Hearing the native dialect that Gu's mother was so excited that she couldn't hide her accent, Gu Chen and Zhong Li looked at each other.Gu Chen asked again: "Then after you adopted Ling Xiu, have you ever thought about finding out who Ling Xiu's father is?"

"Your mother and I don't care about that much." This time it was Gu's father who answered the conversation: "We wish we could cut off contact with those people. Let's live our lives innocently."

After a pause, Papa Gu said again: "I've been surfing the Internet for the past few days and found that many people said that your mother conspired with that woman to steal the child. This is not bloody!"

"Not many people are talking about it," Gu Chen comforted, "This kind of thing still depends on the evidence."

"What will the police think?" Mother Gu couldn't help asking, "Will the police believe those words on the Internet?"

"The police believe in the evidence." Gu Chen said, "Don't worry. As long as you are innocent, the police will not wrong you."

"That's good, that's good." Gu's mother thought for a while, and then said: "Shen Chen, mother knows that you may have objections to mother because of this matter. But mother doesn't know how to tell you."

Not knowing what to say and deliberately deceiving are two different things.Gu Chen can understand that mother Gu and father Gu don't know what to say or even don't tell him, but when he asked the truth, father Gu deliberately said those words to confuse him... Didn't he think that once he was really caught by those How many hidden dangers will be buried when the words are misleading and the actions are taken?

Gu Chen blinked and said nothing.Because of Gu's father and Gu's mother's concealment before, Gu Chen couldn't even believe that what they said now was true, or the whole truth.But Gu Chen knew what Gu's father and Gu's mother wanted to hear, so Gu Chen said, "Don't worry."

Gu Chen analyzed: "Now it is Huo Ling's Zhou family who use this incident to confront each other. In fact, no one cares about what the truth was back then. The Huo family wants to attack the Zhou family, the Ling family wants to take revenge on the Zhou family, and the Zhou family does not want to fight." They will sit and wait to die. So the three of them will fight more and more lively. Netizens are also trying to make it lively."

"But everyone in our village is asking." Gu's mother said very tangled: "The Education Bureau and the school leaders are also having a meeting to study it. They feel that this kind of thing happened at home, and I am no longer suitable to continue to be a teacher."

This overlapped with the development of the previous life.

Gu Chen was in a daze for a while, and then said: "If you are not happy with what you do, we will not do it at worst. Anyway, the family is not short of money now, you and Dad can retire early, and take your grandparents and grandparents around for fun. Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, grandpa are getting old, and they haven’t traveled a few times in their life. Didn’t I buy you a RV? You can take your grandpa, grandma, grandpa, and grandpa for a fun self-driving tour. You can also relax.”

"But—" Mama Gu hesitated to speak.

"I'm still busy working overtime here." Gu Chen said, "Let's not chat for now. Don't worry. If you really feel that the environment in the village is not good, please take a long vacation and go out for a walk. Remember to comfort your grandparents Grandpa. The old man is too old to listen to gossip."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen tapped Zhong Lisui's knee: "You just said that we can help Chairman Zhou. How?"

Zhong Lisui didn't answer Gu Chen's question, but asked thoughtfully: "Should I find a familiar media outlet and interview my aunt. Explain what happened back then?"

Gu Chen asked calmly: "Do you believe what my mother is saying now is true?"

Zhong Li was dumbfounded.

Gu Chen said: "People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They habitually choose what is beneficial to them and avoid disadvantages. And they like to beautify themselves. If my mother has reservations in the interview, and this reserved information will affect My mother is at a disadvantage. We will be more passive when we are picked up by netizens. It is better not to talk about it."

The best public relations are not to follow public opinion to explain and clarify, but to find ways to guide public opinion.As long as the audience is not interested in the truth of the matter, it doesn't matter what the truth was.

Zhong Lisui looked at Gu Chen and asked, "You don't think it's important either?"

Gu Chen thought for a while and said, "It's not important anymore."

But someone must feel very important.

Gu Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "What do you think is the difference between what Ling Xiu learned from Liang Yuanyuan and what I learned from my mother?"

Zhong Li then raised his eyebrows: "You want to know?"

Gu Chen rubbed his chin, and suddenly asked: "The news that Huo's Group and Pan Haoyang are operating the Dazhou Group has caused a lot of noise on the Internet. Hasn't the relevant department come forward to investigate?"

"Recently, everyone has been busy doing things for the country, but the incident is so big that it has a bad influence on public opinion, and the relevant departments have also noticed it." Zhong Lisui explained lightly.

"Then make things worse." Gu Chen tapped his slender fingers on his knees, and his eyes fell on the address of a certain private nursing home thoughtfully.
