Chapter 93: Produce evidence!
Seeing his cheap father-in-law at this time, Gu Yu felt a little embarrassed after his surprise.
An ugly bride must meet her in-laws, and now it’s his turn?
However, why did Gu Qing come here instead of spending the New Year in the capital?
Or did he come in person after sending back the people who were sent?
To be honest, Gu Yu’s impression of Gu Qing was not good. Just seeing Gu Qing abandon Mengyao Gu and her brother for so many years made Gu Yu dislike him.
Because this easily reminded Gu Yu of his modern parents, and his impression of Gu Qing worsened.
“Yaoyao, Qingheng, I’m back!”
“…”
“Uncle, who are you?”
While Gu Qing outside the door was speaking excitedly, Mengyao Gu’s expression had returned to normal. The previous surprise seemed to have happened to someone else. Now that she was expressionless, she clearly did not want to acknowledge Gu Qing, so she remained silent.
Gu Qingheng was also silent… When Gu Qing left, although Gu Qingheng was young, his appearance was very similar to Gu Qing’s. Seeing Gu Qing at this time, he naturally recognized him.
It’s just that if his sister hadn’t spoken, it was best for him to do the same… If he said something and his sister sent him away, it wouldn’t be good!
Gu Qingheng still remembered that when the butler Deng Qing came before, his sister wanted him to go to the capital with him…
So, in the silence, Gu Yu had to step forward and ask Gu Qing who he was.
After all, Gu Yu was the son-in-law who came later. It was normal not to recognize his father-in-law now. Even though he asked so directly, it was not disrespectful, because Gu Qing’s memorial tablet was still in the ancestral hall!
Before, when Gu Yu saw Gu Qing’s memorial tablet in the ancestral hall, he asked Mengyao Gu if she wanted to take it down, but Mengyao Gu shook her head and said that those who were not coming back should just be as they were!
It’s better for everyone.
Moreover, the news that Gu Qing was alive was also rumored, what if they recognized the wrong person!
Mengyao Gu felt that the possibility of her father being alive was not high. After all, there were a lot of bloodstains and fragments of Gu Qing’s clothes found on the mountain, which made people think that Gu Qing had died in the mouth of a fierce beast.
Although, when Mengyao Gu heard the news that Gu Qing was alive, she also had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
No matter what Gu Qing was like, it was better to be alive than dead.
Just like her mother, she couldn’t be found anymore…
When Mengyao Gu and her brother ignored him, Gu Qing’s excited expression gradually turned disappointed, and then seeing Gu Yu, who had just spoken, Gu Qing’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
He had only been away for a few years, and he didn’t expect to have an extra son-in-law… According to Deng Qing, this Gu Yu’s personality was not good, and he was not a qualified son-in-law.
“Who are you? Could it be, as Deng Qing said…”
“That’s right, I am Gu Yu, the son-in-law who lives with the wife of the Gu family. I don’t know who this uncle is? What is the reason for suddenly coming to the Gu family? If not, please leave! After all, it is not easy for our family to have a New Year’s Eve dinner, so don’t disturb us.”
Gu Qing, who had been training in the military camp for several years, was different from the former hunter. His sharp gaze seemed to see through Gu Yu completely.
However, Gu Yu didn’t care about this.
He was not a bad person, and he did not treat Mengyao Gu and her brother badly. On the contrary, Gu Yu felt that he loved his family very much, so he was not afraid of Gu Qing’s gaze at all.
However, Gu Yu hoped that Gu Qing would leave now so that they could have a good New Year’s Eve dinner.
Just now, when Mengyao Gu gave out the wolf tooth necklace, Gu Yu didn’t have time to take out the New Year’s gift he had prepared before he was interrupted by Gu Qing… It was likely that even if he gave the gift later, Mengyao Gu’s mood would not be very good.
He didn’t come early, he didn’t come late, but he had to come now!!!
Seeing Gu Yu’s neither servile nor overbearing demeanor, Gu Qing secretly nodded, thinking that this kid seemed alright and was not as unbearable as Deng Qing said.
And after hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qing couldn’t help but frown, and he understood Gu Yu’s words, but the joy of just meeting his daughter and son made him not want to leave now.
At least, he wanted to talk to Mengyao Gu and her brother.
“My name is Gu Qing, the father of Mengyao Gu and Gu Qingheng, your father-in-law.”
“Nonsense, my father is already dead.”
Then, after Gu Qing stated his identity, before Gu Yu could say anything, Gu Qingheng next to him spoke first.
As soon as the clear child’s voice sounded, everyone present was startled.
Gu Qing was surprised… Why would his son, whom he hadn’t seen for many years, say that he was dead?
Mengyao Gu was surprised… Her brother was too glib.
And Gu Yu was surprised… His younger brother-in-law was too awesome!
While the three were surprised, Gu Qingheng sat honestly at the table, drinking the wine in his glass. The changes in their expressions did not affect him.
Gu Qingheng was not a naive child in the village, so he knew that at this time, he had to hit the nail on the head to avoid dragging things out and making them more difficult to resolve.
Although, what he had just said could be considered unfilial…
His father’s sudden return didn’t make Gu Qingheng feel like a big deal, he was just worried that his sister’s emotions would become agitated.
With Mengyao Gu protecting him all these years, Gu Qingheng had not suffered too much.
The one who truly suffered was Mengyao Gu, who had to bear the heavy responsibility of supporting the family at such a young age…
But contrary to Gu Qingheng’s expectation of an outburst, Mengyao Gu was sitting silently on the stool, her lips tightly closed, looking as if she didn’t want to say anything. This made Gu Qingheng extremely conflicted.
Seeing Mengyao Gu like this, Gu Qingheng immediately knew that his sister’s stubborn temper had kicked in.
But even if Mengyao Gu didn’t speak, could things just be let go like this? Obviously not, so it was better to resolve them as soon as possible, and it would also make people feel more at ease.
“Since you say you are Gu Qing, please produce evidence! As far as I know, when my father-in-law went up the mountain a few years ago, after not returning for one day and one night, the village sent people to check the mountain and found a large amount of bloodstains and fragments of clothes… It was because of this that Gu Qing was considered dead, causing my mother-in-law to be overly sad, fall seriously ill, and then pass away.”
Seeing that Gu Qing seemed unwilling to leave, Gu Yu knew that today’s matter could not be simply resolved. He simply spoke his mind at this time, wanting to hear Gu Qing’s explanation and see if he could resolve the knot in Mengyao Gu’s heart.
No matter how Gu Yu viewed Gu Qing, it was only his personal opinion.
After all, in Gu Yu’s heart, Mengyao Gu was the most important.
And between him and Gu Qing, there was only Mengyao Gu as a bridge. Without Mengyao Gu, they were just strangers.
It was Mengyao Gu and her brother who had a blood relationship with Gu Qing, so their opinions were more important.
“When I went up the mountain that year, I indeed encountered a tiger. After fighting with it, I was almost bitten to death by my throat, but at the last moment, I poked one of the tiger’s eyes with an arrow and barely escaped.”
“Afterwards, while going down the mountain, I lost too much blood and rolled down the mountain. Coincidentally, some people from a security escort passed by and rescued me. But after I woke up, I had no memory, and I couldn’t even remember my name. After some time, I remembered the name Gu Qing… After my wounds healed, I followed the escort people to transport goods, and after experiencing many things, I joined the army.”
“Just a few months ago, I was attacked by someone. When I woke up from my coma, I suddenly remembered my past memories…”
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qing was silent for a moment, and then he spoke about his experiences over the years.
Gu Qing knew that after he left Yang Family Village, Mengyao Gu and her brother had experienced many things.
These experiences were not very good, which was why the siblings resented him.
It was better to explain clearly now, to avoid further misunderstandings…
After Gu Qing finished speaking, the three people in the room silently digested what they had just heard.
The Mengyao Gu siblings did not doubt that Gu Qing’s words were false, but even so, what was lost could not be recovered.
Now that Gu Qing appeared, it would only remind Mengyao Gu that her mother had been murmuring Gu Qing’s name before she died.
Her thin face and vacant eyes were no longer as beautiful as before.
Like a withered flower that suddenly reached its end.
This made Mengyao Gu’s eyes heat up when she recalled it now, and she forced herself not to cry, lest she be seen by others at this time.
“It was out of necessity, Yaoyao. It’s not that I didn’t want to come back to see you…”
“Since you regained your memory a few months ago, why didn’t you come back to visit us yourself? You just sent people from the mansion to say a few words and wanted to take us away… And then, you thought we would be like before?”
Then, after Gu Qing spoke again, Mengyao Gu did not remain silent anymore, but retorted Gu Qing.
Even if amnesia was an irresistible force, Gu Qing clearly had time to come back to visit them, but he didn’t!
What was this about just sending servants over?
“This… the matter is complicated, I will explain it to you later, let’s leave here with me now! I’ll take you to the capital, where…”
“No need, Qingheng and I want to stay in Yang Family Village. No matter how prosperous the capital is, we don’t desire it.”
Hearing Mengyao Gu admit his identity, before Gu Qing could be happy, he heard Mengyao Gu’s question again. Gu Qing looked distressed and did not explain.
This made Mengyao Gu feel very disappointed and sarcastically thought… What was she still hoping for?
Therefore, when Gu Qing proposed to take Mengyao Gu and her brother to the capital, Mengyao Gu directly refused.
She wanted to stay in Yang Family Village, where there were mountains, familiar people, and their newly built home…
“Father-in-law, although you have proven your identity, my wife has clearly expressed that she doesn’t want to go, so do you still want to stay here?”
Hearing Mengyao Gu’s words, Gu Yu immediately stepped forward and said to Gu Qing.
While speaking, Gu Yu had a gentle smile on his face, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
