Chapter 709: The Second Brother and The Second Brother
Shen Qianshu stood beside the bed and Second Old Master Gu looked at them. His eyes were exceptionally warm, loving, and satisfied.
The two most important women in his life were together now.
He would never have even dreamed of something like this.
Shen Qianshu held her soft hand and wished for a miracle as well. Second Old Master Gu had left to give them some private time. This man had been through a lot, and he had a high EQ. He knew how to make Shen Qianshu trust him and lower her guard.
The moment he left, Shen Qianshu felt more comfortable instantly.
She rubbed Fang Hongxiu’s hand softly.
“Mom, I am Qianshu. Shen Qianshu,” She said softly. “Don’t be sad. I have been doing well in all these years. Very well. Really well. I have a son, and I have also found someone who can keep me company in life. Don’t you… worry.”
Fang Hongxiu was like a jade statue. She gave no response at all.
Second Old Master Gu leaned against the door and shut his eyes.
Tears flowed down his cheeks.
Fangfang, our daughter has returned.
You have no regrets now. Will you leave or stay?
Don’t you wish to open your eyes and see her?
The Gu Ancestral Home.
The Gu Ancestral Home was on the right side of the big villa. There were tens of ancestral tablets in it, and there were people who cleaned up the place often. Gu Yuanli kneeled down very respectfully.
Ye Tingjun was near the Gu Ancestral Home. The golden gla.s.ses he wore made him appear rather intelligent.
He looked at the people in the ancestral home. He looked rather distant and cold.
Ye Tingjun entered the Gu Ancestral Home.
Gu Yuanli frowned and looked at him. “Why are you here?”
“Did you kill Gu Yuanan?”
Gu Yuanli frowned and looked at Ye Tingjun sharply. He scoffed. “You are in no place to care about the matters between my eldest brother and me.”
“Indeed, it has nothing to do with me. I’m asking for someone. She’s seeking revenge, and I’m afraid that she might target the wrong person,” Ye Tingjun said calmly and expressionlessly. He leaned at the side lightly and looked at the sky.
It was a cloudy day, and the sky was blue.
“What has a Gu Family dispute got to do with me?” Ye Tingjun said calmly. “I was as ambitious as you once were. I had the same amount of hatred as you. Luckily, I had an elder brother who was different from yours. He proved that he could be trusted. He proved that I could rely on him. Hurting him would be a terrible crime. I am way luckier than you.”
“Ye Ling is just a maniac!”
Ye Tingjun scoffed. “I think you are the maniac. You have something in the hands of Black Rose. All these years, you have done many things against your conscience. You did not dare to reveal Shen Qianshu’s ident.i.ty because you wanted to protect her. However, I know that things are not as easy as they seem. Otherwise, how do you explain the deaths of the eldest and third son of the Gu Family?”
“I don’t need an outsider like you to talk about the matters in the Gu Family.”
Ye Tingjun said calmly, “Did you kill Gu Yuanan?”
“You don’t have to know that.”
“Everyone says that you have killed your brothers. You have no explanation for that. Now, there are no outsiders anyway. What could go wrong if you told me honestly?”
“It has been over a decade. I have already forgotten which of the things that I’ve said are real and which ones aren’t. Ye Tingjun, are you thinking of seeking revenge for my elder brother?”
“I don’t even know your elder brother? What revenge am I going to take?” Ye Tingjun said calmly. “Black Rose killed them, huh? But why?”
“You don’t have to know that.”
“You have secrets!” Ye Tingjun sounded calm. “No matter what secrets you have, I’m warning you. Do not attempt to harm my elder brother. Otherwise, you will never have to think about having any secrets!”
