After being confessed by the paranoid wolf dog

Xu Jinxing when he was a child can probably be described as not hitting the house for three days.

He is really rebellious, even if what his family said to him is correct and reasonable, but in order to resist the Xu family system that he has abided by since he was a child, he would rather pick up garbage outside to eat than go home and give in.

A cigarette gradually bottomed out, but he didn't take a few puffs, basically burning in silence.

"At that time your parents were married, and your mother was just pregnant... Probably, I can't remember."

"Your father didn't hesitate at all, and took me to the teacher's dormitory. Not long after, he exempted me from tuition fees and let me go to school as a teacher's child."

"I was your father's student throughout high school, during that time..."

It's okay to say, but think about it carefully, that period of time may be the most free time he has lived for more than 30 years.

Gu's father didn't find out whose child he was, why he was wandering outside, and occasionally took him home for dinner, so Xu Jinxing also knew Gu's mother.

It seems that I don't want to mention the past anymore, Xu Jinxing summed up the following story in a few words.

When the third year of senior high school was about to take the college entrance examination, the Xu family came to find him. He resisted and was not allowed to be taken away. Before leaving, he left his father Gu's contact information.In the next two years, although they were separated by two places, they kept in touch.

After Xu Jinping University graduated, he officially took over the Xu family's property in Nancheng. It was also in this year that Father Gu brought his wife and children to Nancheng because of the Bai family.

"Your father doesn't want to have too much to do with the Bai family, and so does your mother, so when I first came to Nancheng, Mr. Gu troubled me a few times, including buying a house and looking at the location of these trivial matters..."

The apartment they live in now is one of the few houses that Xu Jinxing took Gu's father to see. After some comparisons, Gu's father decided to buy this apartment.

Suddenly, an ashtray appeared in front of him. It was very delicate and clean, and it had never been used at all.Xu Jinxing looked up, only to see Qi Qingmu pointing to the cigarette in his hand.

"It's almost burnt out."

Xu Jinxing pressed the cigarette in, "You also prepared an ashtray, who smokes?"

"No one smokes. This ashtray looks better. I bought it for display."

Xu Jinxing snorted.

"In short, after your father passed away unexpectedly, the only one your mother can trust is me." Xu Jinxing raised his eyes to Gu Yu, who had an unpredictable expression, and said, "Gu Yu, you are an adult, there are some things that you don't need If I say it, you can understand."

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yu, who had been silent all this time, spoke hoarsely.

"Why did my mother marry you?"

"For you." After Xu Jinxing finished speaking, he paused for two seconds and said, "Your father's death is unclear, and your mother knows best."

"You mean someone else wants to kill me? If it wasn't for my mother marrying you, I would suffer too?!" Gu Yu suddenly raised his voice and roared furiously: "Xu Jinxing, although my parents are both dead, but This is not a reason for you to make up nonsense!"

Xu Jinxing seemed to have expected such a reaction from him, raised his eyebrows calmly, and scolded in a deep voice: "Gu Yu, look at how naive you are now."

"Then you give me evidence!"

"The evidence is——" Xu Jinxing's voice also raised his voice, "There were originally two quotas for going to Antarctica, and your parents are both on the list!"

Gu Yu froze, and slowly opened his eyes wide.

"Don't you understand?" Xu Jinxing laughed sarcastically: "Your mother was found to have cancer during a routine physical examination before the trip. This is a sad accident, but it also saved her life."

"The cancer can be treated at an early stage. In order not to make your father feel regretful, your mother strongly urged him to go to Antarctica for investigation, but she had no choice but to take you back to the Bai family for a temporary life when she was sick."

"Although you were young at the time, haven't you thought about the reason why your mother took you away from the Bai family without stopping after learning of your father's death?"

There are no stupid people in this world, only poor people who don't want to believe the truth.

Blindfold your eyes, plug your ears, don't see the world, don't listen to any sound.

As a bystander, Qi Qingmu slowly closed his eyes, a trace of sourness flashed across his eyes, but Gu Yu's silence made him feel even more sad.

Gu Yu once said swearingly: My father was murdered.

And Xu Jinxing's words made these intermittent intuitions seem to be connected together.

If Gu's mother had also gone, then this 'murder' was aimed at two people...

Gu's mother's name is Bai Yaqing, old lady Bai's favorite little granddaughter, even when her daughter is about to relinquish sovereignty, she changes the inheritance system and does not allow Bai Zhenrong, who is the eldest granddaughter, to inherit. Bai's handed over to Bai Yaqing.

At this time, if Bai Yaqing died in an accident with her husband, leaving only a little boy with a different surname Gu Yu in the Bai family, what impact would it have?

It's just a dispensable existence, and there is no need to be afraid at all.

When Xu Jinxing left, he took a complicated look at Gu Yu.

There seemed to be some incomprehensible emotions mixed in that look, like ridicule, regret, or...

It is the only feeling of distress for the children left by the respected teachers.

Qi Qingmu sent him to the door, Xu Jinxing looked at him, and asked in a hoarse voice for a long time: "Are you planning to live like this?"

"For the time being." Qi Qingmu replied truthfully: "During the holiday, we will always live together. After school starts, it will depend on the situation."

"You've met people from the Bai family too..." After a pause, Xu Jinxing took a deep breath, "I won't leave Nancheng a year ago, call me if you have anything to do."

"You mean they'll come again?"

"The previous fear of the dead has now shifted." Xu Jinxing looked far away, passed Qi Qingmu, and landed on the unattended envelope on the coffee table.

Qi Qingmu followed his line of sight and asked, seemingly incomprehensible: "Is it really murder?"

"I have investigated." Xu Jinxing's voice was very low, as if he did not want Gu Yu to hear, "But because of the interests between the Xu family and the Bai family, my investigation was forced to terminate."

"Did the Bai family really intervene?"

"Not sure, but..." Xu Jinxing took a deep breath, "Bai Xuze, be careful with this man."

After speaking, he ignored Qi Qingmu's reaction, turned around and left.

The person in the worst mood right now is Gu Yu.

He couldn't believe what Xu Jinxing said, because if these were true, then all these years, his so-called insistence on having a storm in the south would be like a laughing stock.

But every time at this time, there is always a voice in my heart asking myself softly—is what he said really unbelievable?

What if what he said was true?

A person sat down next to him, and at the same time, a hand touched the back of his cold hand and held it tightly.

Gu Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, "You said, should I believe it?"

His voice was full of exhaustion, as if he had experienced a battle of faith in just a few minutes.

Qi Qingmu moved his thumb slightly, caressing the back of his hand soothingly, "Believe it or not is actually meaningless."

Gu Yu tilted her head and looked at him numbly.

Qi Qingmu smiled slightly, and said softly: "So what if you believe it? Death cannot be resurrected. Maybe you should adjust your mentality now and live your every day well..."

With that said, he stood up, put his hands on Gu Yu's shoulders, and exerted a little force in his direction.

Hugging Gu Yu lightly, letting him rest his head on his abdomen, Qi Qingmu breathed slowly, trying to make him feel his presence.

"Look at everything according to your own ideas, Gu Yu."

"No matter what you do, I'm here."

With an arm around his waist, Qi Qingmu caressed his hair, once and for all...

Xu Jinxing is probably a great prophet.

Less than five days after meeting him, the Bai family came to him again.

The person who came this time turned out to be Bai Jie's mother, Gu Yu's cousin Bai Liuxi.

She is the child of Gu Yu's grandmother's sister, that is, Bai Yaqing's cousin. It stands to reason that she has no qualifications whether to inherit the Bai family or participate in this silent war.

But her appearance today made Gu Yu change from the normal state of disgust. Although he still had a cold face, he welcomed Bai Liuxi into the door, and even, as a junior, poured water for her himself.

Of course, what was shocking was not that Gu Yu suddenly became polite, but that he was facing the Bai family whom he loathed so much.

The timing of her visit was very coincidental, Gu Yu had just returned from the laboratory, and Qi Qingmu had to work overtime, so she got home an hour later than usual.

Dressed elegantly, Bai Liuxi took the water from Gu Yu and said with a smile: "Before I came, I was worried that you were not at home. I never thought we had a good understanding."

Gu Yu's indifferent eyes fell on her, "If you are worried that there is no one at home, you should call ahead, Aunt Biao."

A moment of embarrassment flashed across Bai Liuxi's face, but he calmed down quickly.

"I came here today mainly to see you. I'm quite relieved to hear that you and your lover have moved here."

"Bai Jie knew about this a long time ago, so he didn't tell you right away." Gu Yu leaned on the sofa and turned on the phone lazily, as if he didn't like to gossip with you.

Seeing this, a trace of disgust flashed across Bai Liuxi's eyes, but she still maintained her kindness on the surface.

"Your cousin is working hard outside now, and he doesn't come home often..."

"Oh." Gu Yu glanced at her.

Bai Liuxi asked again: "Has he been looking for you recently?"

Gu Yu seemed to be amused, and hummed, then put down the phone and looked straight at her: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Putting on the airs of an elder, pretending to be kind, endless temptation...

Every time I talk to the Bai family, I am so tired. Gu Yu admits that his heart is still soft, because this group of people is related to his mother by blood, so he has repeatedly borne it.

But they don't feel that they are related to them by blood...

In particular, the reason for the successive deaths of parents seems to be related to the cold-blooded people of this big family.

Bai Liuxi took a deep breath, and a trace of indifference appeared on his smiling face.

"Then I won't waste your time." She raised her hand, smoothed the broken hair on her forehead a little coquettishly, and said bluntly, "Auntie, I still hope you can attend the reception of the Bai family."

Gu Yu raised her eyebrows: "You hope?"

"Yeah, after so many years, there are some things that should be clarified and explained clearly." As he spoke, Bai Liuxi sighed, "Eldest sister and third brother are too anxious, and it's not an option to force you like this. After the reception, Let’s get together as a family and talk about some things.”
