1556 He Found A Clue
“Ah Yao, you’re such a good child. I know you…” Gu Weiming was instantly overjoyed and praised Gu Yao excitedly.
However, before he could finish, he heard Gu Yao’s cold voice. “Dad, in your heart, am I still that impulsive, angry, ignorant, and incompetent good-for-nothing?”
His voice carried the unique coldness and gentleness of a young man, but it made Gu Weiming’s body tense up instantly.
Gu Yao’s eyes were filled with mockery. “Now that I’m the head of the Gu family, I can investigate it myself. Why should I be threatened by you? Do you still think I’m the same person as before? Or the idiot who was fooled by you and deliberately raised to be useless? After so many years, everyone has changed. Only you’re still as naive as before. You haven’t improved at all!”
Qiao Xi: “…”
Gu Weiming’s expression froze. He gritted his teeth and could not say a word.
“I’m still willing to call you ‘Dad’ now because you gave me the identity of Young Master Gu and let me eat my fill and wear warm clothes. I’m even more grateful to you for letting me have Gu Zheng as my brother.” Gu Yao paused, and his voice suddenly became a little difficult. “Gu Zheng has been teaching me since I was young, while my parents were happy and carefree. If it weren’t for Gu Zheng, my life would have been ruined by you long ago.
“Dad, I know that in your eyes, I’ve always been a sentimental person who lets my emotions affect my decisions, but…”
For some reason, Gu Weiming suddenly became nervous.
Without a doubt, Gu Yao was indeed a person who let his emotions affect his decisions. They had always wanted to use Gu Yao to deal with Gu Zheng, but they did not expect the brothers’ relationship to grow stronger after all these years of companionship.
Gu Yao smirked. “Since you know what kind of person I am, you should know that Gu Zheng and I have a deep relationship. Although we’re not related by blood, I treat him as my real family, so I won’t betray Gu Zheng no matter what.
“I really want to know who my biological parents are, but I can investigate it myself, and Gu Zheng can help me. Why must I rely on you? Moreover, I’ve long known that I’m not your biological son, but I’ve never asked you about my biological parents. Why haven’t you thought that I’ve already found clues?”
Had he found a clue?
Gu Weiming’s eyes widened instantly, and his face alternated between green and white.
No! What happened back then was so secretive. It would not be easy for Gu Yao to find out. How could he have found out something so soon?
If Gu Yao had really found out something, he would no longer have anything to threaten Gu Yao with. He would not have a chance to make a comeback.
“Alright.” Gu Yao glanced at Gu Weiming indifferently, then turned to look at Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng with a big smile. “Alright, alright. I’m about to starve to death. Let’s go eat!”
Seeing his nonchalant look, Gu Weiming’s body swayed slightly.
He suddenly felt that he was really stupid. Gu Yao must have investigated his biological parents a long time ago. Gu Yao had never asked him about it, so he must have found some clues. Now that he was using this matter to threaten Gu Yao, the last bit of their relationship was gone.
Gu Weiming fell onto the chair, his expression gradually turning gray.
…
After Gu Zheng and the other two left the banquet hall, Gu Zheng suddenly grabbed Gu Yao’s arm and said in a low voice, “I’ve indeed found a clue. Follow me.”
Only then did Qiao Xi realize that Gu Yao’s nonchalant look just now was all an act for Gu Weiming. Actually, he did not find any clues. He just wanted Gu Weiming to know that this method was no longer feasible. He would not betray Gu Zheng.
Gu Yao smiled in embarrassment. “Gu Zheng, forget it. It doesn’t matter whether I find my biological parents or not. You, Qiao Xi, and Grandma are enough for me.”
Gu Zheng looked at him seriously. “You should know about these things.”
“What is it?” Gu Yao looked confused. Since he was not looking for his biological parents anymore, what else should he know?
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng. She suddenly recalled that Gu Zheng had met Xu Zhi before entering the banquet hall. He had gone as Mo Yuan. In other words…
Her expression changed. In other words, Gu Yao being adopted by the Gu family was related to the Xu family? It must be the Xu family in the capital!
Gu Yao scratched his head and obediently followed Gu Zheng to the tearoom. Qiao Xi hurriedly followed.
A moment later, Gu Yao’s expression changed drastically, and his lips trembled slightly. “Gu Zheng, this… This is all true?”
