Chapter 262 Just Pity Your Dad
Chapter 262 Just Pity Your Dad
"Actually, I stopped liking Yun Shu a long time ago. My dislike for you has nothing to do with Yun Shu. I also treat Yun Shu as a younger sister."
Huainan didn't say later that he now liked Yiyi, because he was afraid Yunle wouldn't be able to accept it.
A few days ago, his father sent someone to Yiyi's house to sound them out, but Yiyi's parents didn't give a clear answer, only saying they would consider it. He knew they were politely rejecting him. His own parents, however, were still confident and planned to go to the Xie family again in a couple of days to discuss the marriage.
Yiyi has been refusing to answer his calls lately. When he called her yesterday, he discovered that she had changed her phone number, which made him even more disheartened.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Yunle that he liked Yiyi, especially since Yiyi had rejected him.
"Really? So I was jealous of the wrong person all along..." Yun Le murmured, realizing she had been blaming the wrong person all along.
“Live a good life, you’re still so young… Find a man who loves you to marry later, and you won’t have to work so hard,” Huai Nan sincerely advised.
"We'll talk about that later. Right now, I just want to take care of my mother's funeral arrangements and then pick up Yunhuan tomorrow."
"Okay, go and rest for a while."
Huainan escorted Yunle to the third floor and watched her go inside. Only then did he go downstairs and call over two servants from the Gu family to keep a close eye on Yunle, in case she had any suicidal thoughts or did something foolish.
I felt a bit sorry for this woman today. She really has nothing left, and she can't even stay at the Gu family home anymore. Yun Shu doesn't get along with the sisters, so she definitely won't let them stay. And tonight she found out that Gu Cheng has a woman outside the family, and the Gu family will belong to someone else. That woman will bring her child in and then take half of the family fortune. Yun Le is a little better off; Gu Jianguo told her to retire and take half of the Gu family's assets. But Yun Huan is the most troublesome; she won't be content with that. The Gu family will be in turmoil for a while…
"Grandpa, I don't want to get involved in the Gu family's affairs!" Yun Shu said in the hospital, especially since the Gu family was in such a mess.
“Yun Shu, with your father like that, Yun Huan and Yun Le can’t handle it. Besides, according to A Cheng, they all want to kick him out of the Gu family. If you don’t take care of it, who will?”
"Isn't Grandpa already here?" Yun Shu pouted.
"Nonsense, Grandpa is already eighty years old, how much longer can he live? Don't forget the agreement you signed before. Acheng said he wanted to cancel it, but I haven't agreed yet. If you don't agree to take charge of the Gu family's affairs, then your son can go to the Gu family." Gu Jianguo didn't stand on ceremony with Yun Shu at this moment. He was determined to persuade Yun Shu to become the head of the Gu family.
Upon hearing this, Yun Shu immediately refused, saying, "That's too much! I will never give my son to the Gu family!"
"That's right. The Gu family is giving you half of their assets, Yunshu. Consider it a favor from the Gu family. Don't you have any sympathy for your father's situation? The old man knows you're still angry about him marrying Li Meng back then. I locked him up, and he jumped out of the window, almost breaking his leg. He ran to the train station, but I caught him and brought him back. He tried to escape a second time, but was discovered as soon as he left the compound. So I had someone get him a marriage certificate with Li Meng to make him give up. Later, at the wedding, I got him drunk, which led to Yun Huan and Yun Le, the sisters, getting drunk. Only then did he accept his fate, give up the idea of marrying your mother, and start focusing on his career at work." "But later he changed, becoming increasingly silent and withdrawn." He glanced at Yun Shu, seeing her listening intently, and continued, "He placed you with us to raise because he was afraid Li Meng would mistreat you. Later, you became reluctant to see her, and you started to resemble your mother more and more. It wasn't that he didn't come to see you; he always came secretly and left quietly. Seeing your report card always made him very proud. He wanted to be a good father, but you never gave him the chance. Ultimately, this ending is my fault. If I hadn't forced him to marry Li Meng back then, perhaps this tragedy wouldn't have happened. Oh, and there's one more thing: he actually goes to the countryside every year to sweep your mother's grave."
"Grave sweeping..." No wonder for two years, when she went back to sweep the grave late for Qingming Festival, she saw that her mother's grave was clean and tidy, with offerings and flowers in front of it, clearly indicating that someone had paid their respects before her. She thought it was her aunt who did it, but it turned out to be Gu Cheng...
"Ah Cheng's life wasn't very good after all. Yun Shu, just feel sorry for your dad! Even if we wanted you to marry into the Sheng family back then, it was your mother's wish. Your mother and Xie Huixin are said to be very close friends."
"Grandpa Gu, let Yun Shu think about it. After all, this is no small matter!" Ming Kun had been listening the whole time. He understood Gu Cheng's meaning; entrusting the Gu family to Yun Shu was the wisest thing to do. However, the Gu family had done many things to wrong Yun Shu in the past, especially since she had survived a near-death experience and was brought back to life. Now, she harbored deep hatred for the Gu family. If she were to manage the Gu family's affairs now, she would definitely be very unwilling.
“You must be Xiao Mingkun. Treat Yunshu well from now on, and don’t hold a grudge about what happened when you were arrested back then. It wasn’t Acheng who ordered it; he always admired you. Xie Huixin hired someone to sabotage things. She just wanted to give you a warning, but she didn’t expect things to escalate so badly, resulting in one death and one injury. He was the one who got you released. Although he opposed your relationship, he never actually did anything to harm you. Back then, he suspected that Yunshu was harmed by those two sisters, but he had no evidence. Li Meng’s family hadn’t fallen on hard times yet, so he couldn’t punish them severely.” Gu Jianguo explained. He had to win this man over for the Gu family to have any hope.
“I know he wasn’t the one who instigated the incident at the construction site back then.” Mingkun understood Gu Jianguo’s meaning. If Yun Shu were to take charge of the Gu family, she would definitely need his help. Gu Jianguo was trying to win him over, all for Yun Shu’s sake… to see what choice she would make. No matter what decision she made, he would support her.
After saying all this, Gu Jianguo was exhausted. If Xie Yao hadn't been carrying a grandson, he would have really wanted Yun Shu's son to be given to the Gu family. The child born to such excellent parents would certainly be outstanding. Unfortunately, with his eldest son in such a state, he had no reason to make Yun Shu willing to give her son to the Gu family. His son had previously said not to pressure Yun Shu anymore and to let her act as a supervisor to the Gu family.
Once Xie Yao's child grows up, the Gu family will be better off, so in the end, it's still Yun Shu who will have to work hard. The Gu family still owes her this child.
Gu Jianguo was old, so he sat for a while and then left the hospital with Huainan's father, leaving Yunshu and her husband at the hospital.
"Yun Shu, what's your decision...?"
After Gu Jianguo and the others left, Mingkun asked Yun Shu, who had been staring blankly.
