Chapter 289 Incest
"Lele, call Yunhuan for me and tell her that Grandpa wants to see Aunt Gu Lian."
"Okay, I'll call right away, but I don't know if she'll answer." She had testified in court before, but now Yun Huan hates her to the core and claims she doesn't have a sister like her anymore.
Yunle made three calls before getting through.
"Gu Yunle, what's wrong? Have you decided to come back and help me deal with Yun Shu?"
Yunle pouted and said, "No, I'm just here to deliver a message. Grandpa wants to see Auntie. You can tell Auntie."
"Why should I listen to you?"
Yun Le frowned, then a glint of light flashed in her eyes, "Perhaps Grandpa wants to make amends to Aunt, or maybe he wants to make peace with you."
Yunle thought that Yunhuan would definitely pass on the message. She didn't know why her grandfather wanted to see her aunt, but it was absolutely impossible for him to persuade Yunshu to give up the Gu family's property. She was just using this lie to deceive Yunhuan. Only a simple-minded person like Yunhuan would believe it.
After finishing the call, she called Yun Shu back, and Yun Shu thanked Yun Le very much.
"Lele, thank you!"
"No need to thank me. I'm not trying to help you, sister. I just don't want someone as stupid as my sister to not know how to manage the Gu family's assets. She'll just go out and squander money and have to support that scumbag Gao Yao. I think it's not worth it. It's better to give it to my sister." My mother's money was already squandered, and she even sold the last house. Even if she gets the Gu family's assets, she'll squander them soon. Giving the assets to that person would be a waste.
After hanging up the phone, Yun Shu thought that it was getting dark and Gu Lian probably wouldn't go to the old house, so she drove home.
Yun Huan called Gu Liandao and said, "Auntie, the old man wants to see you."
"Gu Jianguo wants to see me? He wants to see me at this time, is it to advise me not to make things difficult for the Gu family?" Gu Lian knew it immediately.
"I think so too. Auntie, why don't you take this opportunity to threaten the old man and make Yun Shu give me the property? Then we can all pretend nothing happened and live peacefully together," Yun Huan said innocently.
"Gu Yunhuan, do you think I'm stupid? You think I'd trade my hatred for the Gu family's wealth? Are you out of your mind?!"
"How can you talk like that, Aunt? At worst... I'll give you a third of the family fortune... or we can split it in half, what do you think?" Without this old woman, she really wouldn't be a match for Yun Shu and the others. Now she had to win her over no matter what, regardless of her sarcastic and unpleasant words.
"I don't want Gu Cheng's property. As for the old man wanting to see me... never mind! It's been more than 20 years since we last met. I'll go see him and see if he's tired of living."
After hearing this, Yun Huan clicked her tongue and thought to herself: How much hatred does this woman have for the old man and the Gu family? After all, the old man is her biological father. She hopes he dies so much. She is even more ruthless than she is to Gu Cheng.
"I told Yunshu that I'll go to the old house to see the old man tomorrow morning."
Gu Lian thought about it and decided to go anyway. She had to see that person eventually. Things were different now; she wouldn't be taken back like before.
Not long after Yun Shu arrived at the old house alone, Gu Lian also came over.
Gu Jianguo looked at his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for over twenty years, appearing before him, but his emotions didn't fluctuate much, which puzzled Yun Shu.
"Please sit down, Ah Jian, bring some tea." He said calmly, just like he would when he spoke normally.
"I don't drink tea. Just say what you need to say." Gu Lian didn't want to eat anything from the Gu family again, not even tea.
Yun Shu looked at the two of them, both expressionless, as if they were strangers. She and Gu Cheng no longer seemed like father and daughter, nor did they have the same awkward chemistry as these two.
"Did you come back to seek revenge on the Gu family?"
“You know perfectly well that the advisors know what I’m doing, so it’s not too late to ask these questions now.”
Gu Jianguo wasn't angry when he heard her speak like that. He just sighed and said, "You have the same temper as your mother. You both speak so frankly."
"Nonsense! My mother is alright, but do you think she's as selfish and heartless as you?" Gu Lian showed no mercy, especially in front of Yun Shu, a junior.
"Hehe... Of course you're not like me... and you won't be like me either..."
"What do you mean by that? I don't understand anything." Gu Lian felt that Gu Jianguo's words had a hidden meaning, as if he was hiding something.
"Your child died right after birth!" Gu Jianguo suddenly blurted out, startling Gu Lian so much that she jumped up from her chair.
"Impossible, what about the child I held later..."
“That’s someone else’s child. You were too weak back then. To avoid upsetting you and causing you to lose your will to live, we took you in with a family that had too many children and couldn’t afford to raise them. Do you know why your child died?”
"why?"
"If a child is born from a consanguineous marriage, the child's development will be incomplete and the child will die at birth."
Upon hearing Gu Jianguo's explanation, Yun Shu immediately understood that children born from consanguineous marriages often have genetic defects and are rarely healthy. The famous father of evolution, Charles Darwin, married his cousin, and of their ten children, three died young and three were infertile. Yun Shu, being a medical student, was even more aware that offspring born from consanguineous marriages have a high mortality rate due to the close blood ties between the parents, and are more likely to suffer from birth defects and genetic diseases.
"Impossible. Wenhe and I aren't related. How could we be close relatives and have a problem with our child?"
"You and Wenhe are cousins!"
"Cousins? You must be joking, what relationship do the Gu and Yu families have! Can you make up any more outrageous stories?" Gu Lianzhen is such an old man, now he'll bring up any nonsense he can think of.
"The Gu family and the Yu family are unrelated, but Wenhe's mother is your aunt?"
"That's even more impossible. Wenhe's mother doesn't have the surname Gu, she's not a member of the Gu family!"
Yun Shu finally understood why she had previously thought Gu Lian didn't look like Gu Jianguo at all; she had a rough idea. Her aunt's ex-husband was her cousin, and her cousin's mother had no relation to Gu Jianguo. That meant Wenhe's mother and Gu Lian's father were siblings, and Gu Lian's father wasn't Gu Jianguo… Could it be her grandmother's ex-lover… the one who gave her grandmother so many gifts? Her grandmother had an affair, and it happened after she had two sons with the Gu family…
At this moment, Yun Shu really admired her grandfather. Her grandmother gave birth to Gu Lian, who wasn't his daughter, but he was able to tolerate her, not despise her, and even help raise her...
At this point, she had no choice but to speak up for her grandfather: "Grandpa, isn't Auntie your daughter?"
As soon as Yun Shu finished speaking, Gu Lian looked at Gu Jianguo in horror, her eyes filled with a multitude of emotions.
Gu Jianguo looked at Gu Lian. When this daughter was born, because there hadn't been any girls in three generations of his family, he wasn't particularly opposed to her arrival. On the contrary, he spoiled her as much as possible from a young age. He only realized this when she grew up to be pampered and temperamental, and it was too late; it was difficult to change her. She secretly started dating someone outside, but Gu Cheng found out and forcibly separated them. Unexpectedly, it was too late; she was already pregnant when she was brought home…
