No father does not love his own child; they simply adopt different methods!
How long has it been since Gu Bohan last saw Gu Qingchen, he wonders. It must have been a very long time ago!
Regardless of who was right or wrong between him and Song Xiaoyin back then, Gu Qingchen should not have left him to learn medicine from Song Xingbang!
And now, more than a decade has passed.
Gu Qingchen remained silent, he stood up and walked straight to the window, his back towards Gu Bohan, his towering figure in the autumn sunlight appeared particularly desolate and resolute.
Now that Gu Bohan holds the highest trump card, he isn’t in a hurry, savoring the tea made by a beauty and leisurely enjoying his drink.
A father’s greatest achievement is watching his son grow up, become more and more like himself, more and more in his own style.
Suddenly, Gu Qingchen felt like he had lived for so many years, still like a trapped beast, unable to move freely.
He once dreamed of wandering the world with a sword, to gaze upon its splendor.
As a son of a wealthy family, he had enjoyed glory from a young age that others did not have, yet he also had to bear pressures unknown to others.
There is a kind of hatred that, when it arises from the bottom of the heart, is like a seed germinating, growing wildly and vigorously under the nourishment of spring rain.
There is a kind of loneliness, like the moonlight above, everyone only sees its bright like water purity, but they do not know that cold to the extreme light, and that solitude which guards the sky alone.
There is a kind of emotion that one never knows will seep into the depths of the heart. It is the affection that Bei Ran has shown him over the years, silent as the fine drizzling rain, yet he felt alive within such emotion.
Gu Qingchen turned around, "You already have a successor for the Gu Family, why do you go to such lengths, asking me to return to Gu Group?"
At this moment, Gu Bohan stared at Gu Qingchen; his love for his eldest son was deep, and so was the pain.
Gu Qingchen’s hatred for him was not a matter of one or two days.
"I thought you knew that you are the only successor in Gu Group!" Gu Bohan’s voice was heavy and deep, but it was also a declaration of his resolve, "I have let you be for so many years, Qingchen, it is time for you to come back!"
Gu Qingchen liked being a doctor, and naturally, he did not want to return!
Gu Bohan also had his methods, extreme but very effective, "Your grandfather did not love you as much as you thought; otherwise, why would he cover up the misdeeds of Qin Shan and Qin Chao, letting you take the blame alone!"
"You have no right to talk about my grandfather!" Gu Qingchen punched the window.
"I have no right?" Gu Bohan snorted, "Do you think why Song Xiawei handled that matter coldly back then? If it wasn’t for the pressure I put on his pharmaceutical company, would he have let you go?"
As a father, he loves Gu Qingchen, but he won’t nag like a mother would.
Gu Bohan would protect Gu Qingchen, but all measures taken were also to tame the beast that has always been on the outside.
Gu Qingchen truly didn’t know that Gu Bohan had exerted pressure on his uncle Song Xiawei, but he would not be grateful.
To interact with his children, to stay with Bei Ran, must he give up his career as a doctor that he has persisted in for years?
But Gu Qingchen, who has lived in a wealthy family from a young age, also understands that he owes Bei Ran her youth, he owes those beautiful twins their wonderful childhoods, those are regrets that can never be mended. Should he let such regrets continue?
He also understands that Gu Bohan really won’t hurt these three people, but he definitely has the power to play this game with Gu Qingchen, preventing Gu Qingchen from loving and staying together with them, with the goal of forcing Gu Qingchen back into the Gu Family to take control of the family’s great power!
This move is ruthless!
The older ginger is indeed spicier!
"Aren’t you afraid that I will destroy Gu Group?" Gu Qingchen stared at him, his indifference colder than a stranger, "I am a wolf raised in the wild, loyal, and Gu Group will prosper, but if I harbour ill intentions, Gu Group will play into my hands and will be reduced to ashes."
Gu Bohan nodded: "Therefore, when you return to Gu Group, I will only give you one choice; you can choose to have the two children by your side, or have Bei Ran by your side, but you can only choose one."
Gu Qingchen looked at his father in disbelief, other than giving him life, what else has he provided?
How could he use such methods to force his own compliance?
He has only just recognized his twin children not long ago; they are his darlings, the most beautiful surprises in his life, the indispensable bloodline in his life.
And Bei Ran, who is the woman who took him from hell to humanity, his evergreen tree of life, his pistachio in a life of sorrow, she created the twins, she made him reborn.
Enraged, Gu Qingchen flipped the tea table with one hand, tea splashing everywhere, cups and dishes rolling on the ground...
The beauty making tea was also knocked to the ground, not daring to make a sound!
The bodyguards outside in black suits, hearing the noise, entered, seeing Gu Bohan splashed with tea, they immediately moved towards Gu Qingchen.
"Everyone out!" Gu Bohan’s voice was sharp, with extreme authority.
The bodyguards helped the beauty up and exited together!
Gu Bohan did not remember how long it had been since he had been so bedraggled, yet, he did not rage, he wiped the tea off his face with a napkin: "Think it over, then come find me!"
Gu Qingchen turned around and strode out, kicking the door open, like a devil continuing to walk deeper into hell!
