Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 402
Chapter 402 left you behind
Gu Nianbin laughed all of a sudden and said to Du Xiaoxian, “You’re so silly to believe such nonsense.”
Du Xiaoxian, however, was not as optimistic as he was and took out the small note to show him, “This is what your father wrote, right?”
Gu Nianbin’s smile froze on his face for a moment, he recognized the handwriting, it was his father’s right.
He was a little stunned, “This is …”
“This is what your father left to my ama.” Du Xiaoxian told Gu Nianbin exactly what she had heard from Du Huaishan. In the end, she said, “Although my Abba wasn’t a good person, he never told lies, much less broke the rules of the mountain, so …”
“So you think it’s true?” Gu Nianbin frowned, “Even if this is really written by my father, it doesn’t mean anything, there must be some misunderstanding in between.”
Du Xiaoxian said, “Why don’t we go for a paternity test, that one is the most authoritative.”
Hearing this proposal from her, for some reason, Gu Nianbin’s heart skipped a beat, and only after a moment did he say, “I’ll go ask my dad first.” He carefully folded up the small note and put it away in his wallet.
Both were silent, as if they suddenly didn’t know what to say for the best.
The sunlight jumps on the window sill, the breeze ruffles the gauze curtains, then the ground shimmers with light and shadows, and there are tiny dust motes floating in the narrow patch of sunlight, endlessly …
After a long time, Gu Nianbin said, “Don’t think about it, it’ll be fine, I’m going to cook.”
“Brother …,” Du Xiaoxian wanted to say.
“Don’t call me brother in the future, call me by my name.” Gu Nianbin sounded like he was joking, “It’s just that your brother called too much to make a scene.”
Du Xiaoxian smiled and didn’t make a sound, she knew that Gu Nianbin had suspicions in his heart, no matter what the outcome was, she and the Gu family always had a connection.
Gu Nianbin casually made two or three dishes, and the two of them had the most tasteless meal ever. Gu Nianbin probably felt that it wasn’t really his style to mess himself up here without figuring anything out, so he got into the spirit of chatting with Du Xiaoxian, talking about some of the things she’d been doing at work lately, saying that Meng Zihe had complimented her on her receptive skills and quick learning, and had asked her not to be proud and to keep up the good work.
What he said, Du Xiaoxian nodded and said yes, she has actually passed the most difficult time, because of the simplicity, but rather easy to settle down, although she did not talk much, but appeared to be calmer than Gu Nianbin.
Seeing Gu Nianbin talking about things and talking to himself, she gently covered her hand on the back of the man’s hand, “Don’t think too much about it, we’ve gone through so many difficulties to get together, it’ll be fine.”
“I know.” Gu Nianbin finally quieted down, pulling his hand out to cover the back of the woman’s hand, the back of her hand was delicate, much better than when she first came back, but the thin calluses in her palm were still there, and could be clearly felt when they covered the back of his hand.
“You stay home this afternoon and recuperate, I’ll make a trip to the ancestral home to clear things up.” He looked at her, his gaze soft, “Trust me, it’s okay.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you back at home.” Du Xiaoxian nodded.
Gu Nianbin has something on his mind, he doesn’t want to delay for a moment, after eating and drinking a cup of tea, he left the door, the car turned around under the tree, he stretched out his head to look at Du Xiaoxian, “Don’t go anywhere, wait for me at home.”
“I will, don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.” Du Xiaoxian was like a promise, “No matter what happens, I will be with you.”
Gu Nianbin looked deeply at her, the gas pedal lightly, slowly driving towards the gate, he watched her in the right view mirror, the thin figure is getting farther and farther away, gradually turning into a small black dot, the moment he turned out of the gate, he almost had a premonition that when he came back again, she would be gone again!
The thought disturbed him so desperately that he didn’t want her to leave, even if they really were brother and sister, and with a U-turn he drove into the gate again.
Du Xiaoxian was still standing there motionless, and when she saw him come back, she asked from afar, “Did you land anything?”
Gu Nianbin smiled and said, “Left you behind.”
Du Xiaoxian froze, not knowing what he meant?
Gu Nianbin’s chin lifted, “Get in the car, you’re coming with me.”
“Shall I come along?” Du Xiaoxian stood still, if it was true, this trip would be impossible to escape any longer, she would have to face all the embarrassment and the man who gave her life but abandoned her and Ama!
“Yes, together,” Gu Nianbin looked at her and smiled “You said yourself just now, no matter what happens, you will be with me. Heaven and hell, we’re in and out together!”
Du Xiaoxian looked at the man’s dark eyes and without further hesitation, she went around the front of the car and sat in it, fastening her own seatbelt.
All the way out of the city on the highway, Gu Nianbin put on the music, is a classic English old song “Hotel California”, the melody is very beautiful, especially the intro guitar is very good, but Gu Nianbin knows that the song is not very good content, one of the sentence “this may be heaven or hell”. He felt that this was exactly what was happening to him right now, and that this trip could be heaven or hell, but no matter what, the truth of the matter had to be clarified.
More than two hours later, they arrived at the ancestral home, and Gu Nian Nian was naturally overjoyed to see her mom and dad coming over. She clung to Du Xiaoxian’s side and refused to leave, pestering her to talk about things.
Fang Yaru also have strange, not a weekend, two people how to come together, both do not have to work?
Gu Nianbin coped with a couple of sentences, saying that because Du Xiaoxian suddenly wanted to Niannian, he temporarily came back to take a look, and asked where Gu Guangxian was.
Fang Yaru said Xiao Bo Nian accompanied by sunbathing in the back of the mountain, Gu Nianbin a not did not say anything, lifting his feet to go, Du Xiaoxian looked at his hurried back, his face could not help but be gloomy.
Fang Yaru took a closer look at her and said, “Xiao Xian, are you guys alright?”
“No,” Du Xiaoxian held Gu Niannian in her arms, “I really missed Niannian, so I came back to take a look.”
“It’s good that there aren’t any,” Fang Yaru said, “There’s going to be a wedding soon, so don’t make any more mistakes.”
Gu Nianbin turned around seven times to the backyard, then out of the courtyard door, raised the steps, and saw Gu Guangxian and Xiao Bo Nian in the pavilion halfway up the hill, so it turned out that the two were playing chess.
When Xiao Bo Nian saw him, he hurriedly got up to greet him, “Young Master is back.”
Gu Nianbin jowled slightly, “Uncle Xiao, playing chess with my dad.”
“I’m not good at chess, Master doesn’t even like to play with me anymore, young master, you come.” Xiao Bo Nian was the best at reading people’s words, seeing Gu Nianbin come over in a hurry, he knew that he had something to find Gu Guangxian, he made an excuse and retreated.
Gu Guangxian laughed and shook his head, “This old Xiao, he wants to run away when he loses.” He picked out the pieces one by one, “Nian Bin, coming over at this hour is looking for me for something?”
Gu Nianbin sat down and helped pick up the chess pieces as well, the glazed pieces glistening in the sunlight and shaking his eyes a bit. He picked up all the pieces into the chess box and rearranged the chess, before saying, “Yes, something’s up.”
Gu Guangxian surveyed him, “Something in the company?”
Gu Nianbin raised his head to look at him, Gu Guangxian is only a little more than fifty this year, because he has been sick, so he looks a lot older than his actual age, the corners of his eyes are full of wrinkles, his hair is white, and his eyes are not very spiritual, but when you take a closer look, you can still see that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.
One is an expensive and rich young master, and the other is a mountain girl from a remote mountain, how can one think that these two people could not possibly cross paths.
Gu Nianbin took a deep breath and opened the door, “Dad, besides mom, you’ve loved other women, haven’t you?”
Gu Guangxian gave him a strange look, “Why are you suddenly asking this.”
“Isn’t it?” Gu Nianbin asked stubbornly. “Tell me the truth.”
Gu Guangxian was silent for a moment and nodded, “Did your mom tell you that?”
“You don’t have to care who told me,” Gu Nianbin asked again, “You have an illegitimate child don’t you?”
Gu Guangxian was shocked and almost blurted out, “How did you know?”
Almost close to the truth, Gu Nianbin’s heart felt like a needle had been inserted into it, densely packed with needles. He thought his father would deny it, but two questions in a row were answered in the affirmative. He hesitated, but also to ask? Would the answer really be that? Were he and Du Xiaoxian really brother and sister?
“Nianbin, where on earth did you hear that?” Gu Guangxian’s face turned a little white, “Who told you what?”
Gu Nianbin wanted to open his mouth, but his throat was dry and astringent, so he took a sip of Gu Guangxian’s water, which was soaked with ginseng, so it was bitter in his mouth, and the entire mouth was filled with a bitter flavor, just nowhere near as bitter as his heart.
He pulled out the note, “You wrote this, didn’t you?”
Gu Guangxian took it over and squinted his eyes to look at it carefully, he had some presbyopia, so he picked up the magnifying glass on the table again and slowly looked at the words on the writing paper, just three words, but he looked at them for a long time, and finally he said, “It seems to be.”
“As if?” Gu Nianbin frowned, “Don’t you remember anything you’ve written since?”
Gu Guangxian picked up the magnifying glass again for another defense and said, “No, I didn’t write it.”
Gu Nianbin didn’t catch his breath, choked and coughed a few times, but his voice was full of surprise, “Isn’t it? Dad, look carefully, really not?”
Gu Guangxian then looked again and finally said with certainty, “No, this is someone else’s imitation.”
Gu Nianbin was afraid that because it had been so long, some things had faded from his father’s memory, so he reminded him, “Twenty years ago, didn’t you write such a small note to give away?”
“No, absolutely not.” Gu Guangxian said with certainty again.
Gu Nianbin’s taut nerves instantly loosened, his heart put down a big stone, feeling that even breathing is much smoother. He smiled, “It’s good that there isn’t. Scared me to death!”
But Gu Guangxian was confused, “Nianbin, what are you trying to say? What twenty years ago, and where did this note come from?”
“Dad, have you ever been to Daliang Mountain?” Gu Nianbin smiled and moved a chess piece, “This note was left by a man for Xiao Xian’s amah. I thought it had something to do with you!”
“Daliang Mountain!” Gu Guangxian’s face changed again, “You said Xiao Xian came from Daliang Mountain? What’s her ama’s name? Is it surnamed Yu?”
Gu Nianbin saw his father suddenly get agitated, his heart suddenly sank, the string that had just been relaxed tensed again, could it be that his father really knew Xiao Xian’s amah? Is it possible that his father really knows Xiao Xian’s mom? Is what he’s been searching for really a bad relationship?
