Chapter 209: 209 Hidden Identity_1
“After giving birth to her child, her depression got worse. She committed suicide even before her postpartum period had ended.”
I felt a slight tremor in my heart.
I used to not understand why a woman would fall into depression and commit suicide.
But after experiencing the betrayal of Gu Yuanzhou, I understood that a woman’s emotions run deep, and emotional injuries can leave her feeling that death is preferable to life.
I think that my biological mother didn’t die from depression, but from the despair of being abandoned and betrayed.”
“Did… he know she was pregnant? Hasn’t he thought about taking the child back all these years?”
Wu Lijuan shook her head, “When she came back, she was already three to four months pregnant. It’s certain that he knew! Maybe he didn’t care, he didn’t come to see the child or even ask for him.”
“Who exactly is this heartless man?”
“Ayun is gone now! Speaking of her heartless father now is pointless.”
I thought about it, and decided to drop my line of questioning.
What good would knowing an inhuman and heartless man do me?
Wu Lijuan added,
“My Ayun, she was as unfortunate as her mother!”
“Aunt, are you saying that Ayun, like her mother, chose a lousy man? You also think Gu Yuanzhou is a lousy man?”
“No, what I mean is, Ayun was unlucky! But she didn’t choose a lousy man, Gu Yuanzhou wasn’t a louse, he was just too poor! If Gu Yuanzhou hadn’t been so poor, he wouldn’t have put all his energy into work and wouldn’t have been oblivious to Ayun being burned.”
“Hehe, isn’t Gu Yuanzhou a lousy man?”
“He was just too poor! Ayun suffered a lot during the first few years of her marriage to him!”
“But there are so many rumors online saying that Gu Yuanzhou cheated, don’t you believe them?”
I’ve always wanted to change Wu Lijuan’s perception, to let her know that Gu Yuanzhou is indeed a lousy man.
In this way, Wu Lijuan won’t be deceived by Gu Yuanzhou in the future.
Upon hearing this, Wu Lijuan shook her head,
“Although I don’t approve of their marriage, I still believe Gu Yuanzhou truly loved Ayun!”
“Have you ever considered that there’s something wrong with Gu Yuanzhou’s character? That he’s just building up his character?”
I always felt that Gu Yuanzhou had ulterior motives towards the Song Family.
Even though I haven’t found any evidence yet.
Wu Lijuan sighed, “Yuanzhou did love Ayun! I know this! We had their fortunes told at the temple! They were a pair of mandarin ducks! It was true love ”
But I didn’t think so, “I’ve heard that mandarin ducks die together! Once one dies, the other will follow. Look, Gu Yuanzhou is still alive and well, isn’t he?”
Wu Lijuan’s eyes suddenly turned red, “Child, you don’t know, Yuanzhou has died once already!”
“He died?”
“Yes! Don’t speak of this outside! Not long after Ayun passed away, Yuanzhou also tried to follow, but he was saved.”
Upon hearing this, I was still unbelieving, “Did you see it with your own eyes?”
“No, I was in the hospital because I wasn’t in good health at the time, it was him who told me!”
Hearing that these words came from Gu Yuanzhou’s mouth,
I found it immensely amusing.
Gu Yuanzhou!
Gu Yuanzhou!
Not only do you build up character, but you also concoct stories, put on performances!
You’ve completely captured the hearts of the Song family, and if I hadn’t already died once, I wouldn’t have realized you were such a master at this.
I was about to continue slandering Gu Yuanzhou, essentially intending to reveal his true colors to Wu Lijuan, so she wouldn’t be taken in by this deceiver.
Unexpectedly, Wu Lijuan stubbornly stood on Gu Yuanzhou’s side.
“Girl! I know you may have been misled by the rumors and misunderstand Yuanzhou! It’s understandable for you to have such misconceptions because you don’t know him. But I’m very clear about the kind of person he is, I trust him. So, please, stop spreading these rumors in the future. Rumor stops at a wise man, do you agree?”
Since Wu Lijuan has said so much, naturally, I couldn’t go on.
I changed the topic and brought up other things.
Wu Lijuan continued talking incessantly.
I didn’t interrupt.
From her words, it can be inferred that she wasn’t very satisfied with this marriage.
It’s just that now that Ayun is gone, her thoughts on Gu Yuanzhou are merely wishful thinking.
After chatting with Wu Lijuan for more than an hour, noticing that she was starting to get sleepy, I decided to take my leave.
After stepping out from the gate,
A striking jet-black Rolls-Royce was parked beside the road where I hadn’t expected it to be.
Gu Yuanzhou hadn’t left?
To confirm my thought, I took a closer look.
Indeed it was him.
Wow, what a surprise!
Turns out he lied about being busy and had to leave.
Gu Yuanzhou was standing by the car smoking, and when he saw me come out, he walked up to me.
“Didn’t Mr. Gu say he was leaving? Why are you hiding here?”
Gu Yuanzhou took a puff from his cigarette, stared into my eyes for a while,
“What is your motive in getting close to Wu Lijuan? What are you planning to do to her?”
“Why don’t you ask her? She’s the one who invited me for dinner!”
“Stay away from her in the future, including all members of the Song family. I don’t want to see you anymore!”
He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it, then turned to leave.
I chuckled softly behind his back, “Are you afraid, Mr. Gu?”
He suddenly turned around and came back to me, “What should I be afraid of?”
“You know it in your heart, the schemes you’re plotting against the Song family! In the beginning, you pursued Song Yun for Song Shixiong’s wealth. For a poor boy like you to turn things around, the fastest route was to marry a rich man’s daughter! So, saying you loved Song Yun is less accurate than saying you loved her money!”
I didn’t know why, but I just said all these things out of my mouth.
After Gu Yuanzhou finished listening, he wasn’t angry, he didn’t even show much emotion.
He casually glanced at me, “I understand, this is what Ding Yinuo sent you here to do, to get information out of me, right?”
“Are you willing to tell the truth? Dare you admit that you never loved your wife, that you’ve been using her from the beginning?”
He still remained calm, “I’m telling you, I have a clear conscience, say whatever you like! However, it’s you, there’s something you need to tell Ding Yinuo, he has crossed my line, he better stop now, or the people from the Ding Family will suffer a miserable death.”
After saying these words, Gu Yuanzhou left.
I stood there for a long time.
After a while, I came back to my senses and called Ding Yinuo.
“Yinuo, tell me the truth, have you offended Gu Yuanzhou recently?”
Ding Yinuo sounded nervous on the phone, “What has he done to you again?”
“I’m fine, I want to know, what have you done to him recently?”
“Indeed, I have done something, I’ll tell you when you get back.”
Ding Yinuo’s seemingly casual attitude seemed completely out of sync with Gu Yuanzhou’s cold seriousness. I even felt that Gu Yuanzhou was making a fuss over nothing, deliberately exaggerating.
However, the reality was far beyond my imagination.
