Capítulo 1983: Chapter 1987: No One Would Dare
“Ah…” Gu Chi was taken aback by his reaction and hesitantly said, “I an… I’ve always thought the Young Madam and Young Master looked a bit alike. I thought it was because Young Master Xiaoshu grew up around the Young Madam…”
“Not that sentence,” Gu Junzhu said. “The last sentence.”
“The last sentence?” Gu Chi recalled, “The last sentence I said was that many people say Young Master and you resemble each other…”
“Xiao Shu and I look alike?” Gu Junzhu stared at him intently. “Do you think so?”
“When first seeing Young Master Xiaoshu, it seed a bit alike, but the more you look, the less alike they seem,” Gu Chi said. “I’ve heard people say that whether appearances are similar, strangers can tell more easily, while those more familiar can’t see it. For instance, you and Senior Gu actually look quite alike, but those of us who’ve been around you and Senior Gu can’t see it. On the contrary, people eting you and Senior Gu for the first ti can imdiately tell.”
“Xiao Shu and I look alike…” Gu Junzhu only absorbed a part of Gu Chi’s words, quickly imrsing himself in his own thoughts. “Indeed… Soone once said Xiao Shu and I look alike; I thought they were flattering. If… it wasn’t flattery, but genuinely sincere…”
“… Young Master, are you suspecting that Young Master Xiaoshu is… your flesh and blood?” Gu Chi’s skin erupted in goosebumps.
He couldn’t tell whether he felt nervous or excited, anticipation or fear of disappointnt; in any case, his heart instantly rose to his throat.
He rubbed his arms, stamring slightly, “It shouldn’t be, right? This… this seems unlikely! Not long after Young Master was born, Bai ngluan took Young Master to find Senior Gu, claiming Young Master was your flesh and blood. Senior Gu personally sent soone to conduct a paternity test, and the results clearly stated there was no parent-child relationship between Young Master and you! At that ti you weren’t well, so Senior Gu kept it from you, not letting you get involved too much. But Xiao Cheng, Sha, and I, we all knew about it.”
“I trust my dad, so I never doubted the test results,” Gu Junzhu pondered aloud. “But… what if soone secretly swapped the test results or blood samples used for the paternity test? Or simply bribed the doctor performing the test to produce a false proof.”
“That’s impossible!” Gu Chi instinctively refuted. “No one would dare to deceive Senior Gu like that! Besides, such a crucial matter was handled by the person Senior Gu trusted the most. They wouldn’t betray Senior Gu.”
“You forget…” Gu Junzhu squinted his eyes, “At that ti, I wasn’t well, and my dad didn’t yet know my sister-in-law and her daughter were hard by Gu Yuanfang’s biological mother. Gu Yuanfang approached my dad to claim the family legacy, and my dad accepted him… During that ti, Gu Yuanfang was by my dad’s side…”
His health at that ti was not just poor, but critically ill.
The hospital even issued multiple critical condition notices.
At that ti, his dad was focused mostly on him and was unaware of Gu Yuanfang’s treacherous intentions, investing emotions ant for his elder brother into Gu Yuanfang, placing trust in him, making it possible for Gu Yuanfang to operate covertly.
After all, back then, many people believed he wouldn’t make it, thinking Gu Yuanfang would beco the sole heir of the Gu Family.
