Chapter 192: "Can I get a small budget?" (1)
At the same time, at the Gus residence.
Gu Feng, too, was looking at Old Mr. Gu with surprise.
Dad, you found out about Gu Yaobai and Old Mr. Jie?
Old Mr. Gu rolled his eyes at Gu Feng and sneered. What? You guys plan to keep me in the dark if I dont already know about it?
Gu Feng scratched his head awkwardly, being stared by Old Mr. Gu.
After he was injured in his mission, his second brother finally found out that it was the handy work of Xie Hongbo. And he was most likely going after the entire Gu family.
And that wasnt the only time either. Yang Wanni was also Jie Yaobais handywork. He wanted to ruin Gu Qinghuas reputation and thereby ending his career.
The Gu family keeping Gu Yaobai was a surprise to Xie Hongbo.
Originally, when the plan failed, Xie Hongbos plan was to get rid of Yang Wanni and the child so as to not leaving any potential issues behind.
Never would he had expected that Yang Wanni, having no other options, would leave the child at the Gu family and that Gu Qinghuas wife would also allow the child to stay temporarily out of compassion.
That made it difficult for Xie Hongbo to take care of the child.
And that child, needless to say, was Gu Yaobai.
***
They had learned of all of those when looking into Gu Fengs accident.
By then Old Mr. Gu was already discharged from the military and was not in his best of health because of Gu Fengs injury. That, on top of the fact that Xie Hongbo had already been a teacher of Old Mr. Gu that he had well respected, the Gu brothers decided to keep their findings from their father, worried that he would not be able to handle the truth.
Over the years, Gu Shao had been looking into Xie Hongbos activities and collecting evidence against him. As for why they had done nothing toward Gu Yaobai, partly it was because Old Mr. Gu was still kind toward Gu Yaobai and also partly because they didnt want to alert them just yet.
In addition, Gu Shao was curious to find out the relationship between Gu Yaobai and Xie Hongbo.
Over on this side, looking at the guilty look on Gu Feng, Old Mr. Gu hrumphed again and said disgruntledly, You guys thought I didnt know anything.
Even though the three had kept more from Old Mr. Gu, but he knew enough.
Back then, shortly after he was able to prove that Gu Yaobai was not his child and that Yang Wanni had a fling with his teacher, Xie Hongbo reached out to him and admitted to him his relationship with Yang Wanni. For the same of his reputation, he asked Gu Qinghua to help him out.
Back then, Gu Qinghua had no idea about his teachers scheme and that what he was capable of doing even to his own child. For old times sake, Gu Qinghua kept Gu Yaobai in his house for the sake of helping Xie Hongbo.
He only learned of the truth later on and what his three sons had been working on.
In many ways, Gu Shao had been doing a better job than he did and was able to adopt better approaches. Old Mr. Gu saw everything and, as such, had pretended that he knew nothing about it and/or interfere with matters.
As for Gu Yaobai.
For certain, Gu Yaobai had no idea of his identity in the past.
They were already raising him. Gu Qinghua figured that if Gu Yaobai turned out to be a nice kid, he would be a Gu forever.
Unfortunately, Gu Yaobai had disappointed him.
Old Mr. Gu could overlook all the minor things that Gu Yaobai had done but, when his precious grandchildren were wrong, he would not remain silent anymore.
***
Over on this side, after a call with Gu Feng, Gu Xian tsked and said, It seemed that Old Man Gu really had it figured out.
As though something had occurred to him, Gu Xian added, I am guessing that he had more up his sleeves than what we have seen so far?
As much as Old Mr. Gu had reined in a lot in recent years and had been much easier going overall, that was not to say that a tiger had turned into a pet cat altogether.
Gu Xian was willing to bet that given the way that Old Mr. Gu was, the spreading of the rumors was just the very beginning.
