The truth Gu Yuanli revealed was too heavy to bear.
Shen Qianshu felt really conflicted.
She found it hard to accept at that moment.
Gu Yuanli looked at her intently and said, “Little Shu, I had no intention to hurt you.”
Ye Ling scoffed and retorted. “Your hiding this secret is the greatest source of pain to her.”
“Ye Ling, if not because of you, everything would not have happened,” Gu Yuanli said harshly. “If not for you, Little Shu would not get pregnant. If not for you, she would not be financially distressed. I would not have paid so much attention to her too, and she would not have attracted Black Rose’s attention. We were actually each living in peace, and no one knew that she’s Ghost City’s little princess. You are the start of this whole mess.”
Ye Ling was silent.
“Second Brother, this has nothing to do with Master,” Shen Qianshu said.
“How does this have nothing to do with him? It was all caused by him!”
“Whether to give birth or not, it was my decision. It has nothing to do with him.”
“You…” Gu Yuanli felt conflicted and also felt unexplainable anger.
Ye Ling had no reaction at all. His amber eyes were staring intently at Shen Qianshu. No one knew what he was thinking about. Shen Qianshu held onto his hands and calmly said, “Second Brother, thank you for telling me the truth back then.”
“You have to quickly think of a way to take out the thing in your body.”
Ye Ling came back to his senses and took out an X-ray film. “The doctor did a full body checkup on her. It will not be easy to take it out. The thing is absorbed by her kidney and has already assimilated into her organs. If we want to extract it out, it will be a huge matter. Black Rose will then surely get hold of the news.”
She would not allow it.
“So we can only let it continue remaining inside her body?” Gu Yuanli asked.
The two of them fell silent.
For a long time.
“The doctor suggested to leave it in her body.” Ye Ling answered.
When Gu Yuanli returned back to the Gu Manor, Second Old Master Gu was watering the flowers. The sky was already bright, and he was watering a bed of water-lilies. Gu Yuanli reported about everything that had happened to Second Old Master Gu. His reaction was really cold.
“Got it.”
After Gu Yuanli left, Second Old Master Gu’s hands slightly trembled.
Tong Hua is not Qianshu’s biological son?
How is that possible!
He had always forgotten something. Nobody told him before that Tong Hua was Shen Qianshu’s adopted son.
He always thought that he was her biological son.
He did not have many suspicions too.
Now, a huge plot twist was dropped on him. Tong Hua was actually an adopted son.
How was that possible!
Tong Hua was clearly related to him.
This child looked a lot like the young Fangfang. If he was not related to him, how was this explainable?
Ah Xi hurriedly rushed forward and took away his watering can. “Second Old Master, your hands are trembling. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong,” Second Old Master Gu said deeply. “Nothing!”
No wonder Black Rose never once touched Tong Hua before but was always targeting Qianshu. So, they thought that Tong Hua was Qianshu’s adopted son and thus did not bother at all.
Second Old Master Gu had long decided. This was clearly his biological grandson!
He sat at the side and closed his eyes slightly. The water-lilies’ fragrance came flying over bit by bit, but his senses were still really clear.
After a moment, he actually started laughing.
Ah Xi was shocked. “Second Old Master, what is it that you’re so happy about?”
“Interesting,” Second Old Master said. “Ah Xi, this news sure is interesting!”
Ah Xi was completely at a loss.
“This is great too. This is great too!” Second Old Master Gu exclaimed.
Just let everybody think that Tong Hua was Qianshu’s son! There was no need to say the truth. At least, the target was Qianshu, and Tong Hua would be safe. If the truth was revealed, both of them would become targets. There was no need to let the child be embroiled into this conspiracy.
“Ah Xi, Yang Lihua cannot live anymore,” Second Old Master said calmly. “Find her and kill her.”
“Yes!”
