Chapter 14: Confrontation
Loving their children is in the nature of most parents in this world. However, this article obviously does not apply to Gu Zhenghong and Gu Shuhan.
Maybe Gu Zhenghong has some true feelings for his son who has just turned one year old, but in front of Gu Shuhan, his face is always full of falsehoods.
Many people came to the first birthday banquet of Gu Changsheng, the son of the Gu family, and the entire Gu Mansion was dressed up and beaming inside and out, which was as good as the situation when Gu Shuhan got married from the Gu Mansion back then. Fifteen years of getting along, but it is not as good as a one-year-old baby, Gu Shuhan doesn't know if the deity will feel sad if he sees this scene. Perhaps in Gu Zhenghong's view, Gu Shuhan is a girl, this is her original sin.
Xu Liping is like a flower butterfly, coming and going in the Gu Mansion, and she can be seen everywhere. Seeing her entertaining guests with a smile on her face, and then instructing the housekeeper to prepare something, even trivial things, she couldn't wait to take care of them in front of everyone, so as to show her identity as the mistress of the Gu Mansion. As everyone knows, her impatient appearance made her fall behind.
Most of the people who can be invited by Gu Zhenghong to attend his son's first birthday banquet are people with status and status, how can these people not see Xu Liping's careful thoughts? It's just pretending not to know on their faces, the mockery hidden in their eyes was captured by Gu Shuhan, but Xu Liping himself didn't know anything about it.
It's just a short-sighted woman. After looking at Xu Liping for a while, Gu Shuhan withdrew his gaze.
Even Gu Shuhan has to admit that Xu Liping is indeed very beautiful, with a look that is not inferior to her mother, and she is still younger than her mother. Young, indeed, is just as good capital.
But other than that, Xu Liping has nothing to beat his mother.
Gu's mother has a charm that has been washed and precipitated by time, which is a kind of temperament, a kind of elegance, and a kind of calmness. Although Xu Liping is also educated, she went to a foreign school to study in a girls' middle school, but she exudes an impetuous temperament, which makes people unhappy.
Even if Gu Shuhan is not partial to his mother, objectively speaking, he thinks that his mother is many times stronger than her, but Gu Zhenghong abandoned his mother and chose her. This made Gu Shuhan a little confused, they all said that the way men look at women is different from the way women look at women, it seems that this is really the case?
Of course, she knew that Gu Zhenghong chose Xu Liping, not only for herself, but also for more factors, which was for her son. However, before she was pregnant with this son, she could let Gu Zhenghong bother to buy a house to house her, Xu Liping himself must have some means.
had a preliminary evaluation of Xu Liping in his heart, and Gu Shuhan set his eyes on today's main master-
The white and chubby little baby was wrapped in a big red swaddling cloth, and was crying non-stop at this time, being held in the arms of the wet nurse and coaxed warmly. After a while, I was tired of crying, and finally stopped a little, a carefree appearance, I didn't know at all, because of it, Gu Fu had turned the sky once.
"This is your brother."
Gu Zhenghong was a little absent-minded when he talked to Gu Shuhan, until he followed Gu Shuhan's gaze and saw his son, and then he smiled a little more sincerely: "With him, my Gu family can be regarded as a successor." ”
Gu Shuhan hooked the corners of his lips and did not comment.
Seeing that Gu Shuhan didn't speak, Gu Zhenghong's eyebrows twisted into a knot: "I said, this is your brother, don't you react at all, Gu Shuhan?" Is there a sister like you? It's not like words, and I don't know how your mother usually taught you! ”
Gu Zhenghong saw that Gu Shuhan was not as deferential to himself as in the past, and he had already held back the fire in his heart, and at this moment, seeing Gu Shuhan's attitude towards his precious heart and liver, the evil fire in his heart suddenly came up.
Gu Shuhan glanced at him quietly, his eyes were like the cold water of autumn, cool and refreshing, but terrifyingly calm.
"I know, of course I know that this is Mr. Gu's 'your' son. Don't know, how do you want me to react? And how do you want my mother to teach me to accept an illegitimate child as 'my' brother and to love him? ”
Although Gu Shuhan didn't like Xu Liping's son, after all, he was just a baby, and he didn't understand anything, so she didn't plan to use it as a raft. When Gu Zhenghong showed off to her at first, she didn't answer and took a step back. However, it turns out that some people are used to kicking their noses in the face, she doesn't refute, Gu Zhenghong says that she is weak and can be bullied!
Since Gu Zhenghong wants to provoke her again and again and establish his majesty on her, don't blame her for not saving face for him and his son. As for Gu Changsheng, although he didn't do anything wrong, since he enjoyed the benefits of being the son of the Gu family, it was natural for him to share some responsibility for the Gu family, right?
"Gu Shuhan! What do you call me? How did you talk to me! The anger in Gu Zhenghong's heart was like being poured a pot of boiling oil, and the less it was, the hotter it became: "You unfilial daughter!" ”
Angry, he couldn't control the volume, and now, the guests at the banquet all looked over.
"You're not very old, and you can't think of your ears well, so I'll say it again. My name is you, Mr. Gu. Gu Shuhan deliberately slowed down his tone, as if he was really taking care of Gu Zhenghong, who was 'behind the ear', and said unhurriedly: "You divorced my mother because of an outer room, and I don't want to cut off the relationship with my mother, so naturally I have to draw a line with you." Now that Mr. Gu is accompanied by his wife and son, but my mother is lonely, of course I have to stand on my mother's side, presumably Mr. Gu can also understand, right? ”
She was unusual, smiling lightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes: "As for Mr. Gu's son...... It is true that you were born when your mother and I were not divorced, and although I have an official identity now, I can't hide the fact that he was born out of wedlock. Mr. Gu abandoned his wife and daughter in order to correct its name, and forced me and my mother to make way for it and Xu Liping, right? I don't dare to recognize this brother. As soon as I was born, I was able to turn my and my mother's lives upside down, and if we really recognize it, do our mother and daughter still have a way to live? ”
"Even if Mr. Gu dislikes me as a daughter and thinks that my life and death don't matter, what about my mother? She was your wife after all. Although it's not now, as the saying goes, if you stay a line in life, you will see each other in the future, presumably Mr. Gu won't do things perfectly, right? ”
The matter involved Gu Changsheng, Xu Liping could no longer sit idly by, she walked to Gu Shuhan's side gently: "Shu Han, I know, you have always looked down on me, and you can't understand my free love with your father very well. I don't blame you for this, after all, once a person's concept is generated, there are some people who can't be twisted for a while. I am willing to wait for the day when you accept me and your father, and I am willing to prove to you that I truly love your father. If you have any anger, just shoot at me, whether you want to beat or scold, I will bear it, and I will never fight back. Just please, don't be afraid of your father's feelings, and don't have to be separated from him. Also, Changsheng is innocent, it's still so young, it doesn't understand anything, please don't be angry with him. ”
Xu Liping's words scratched the itch of many people now, and publicized her free love with Gu Zhenghong, which was obviously a treacherous act, but now it has become enlightened!
Gu Shuhan saw that Xu Liping avoided the important and trivialized, and in a few words, he characterized the matter as a dispute between feudal marriage and free love, and defined her sarcasm as 'not enlightened' and 'ignorant', which made Xu Liping himself open-minded and reasonable, and couldn't help but smile coldly. Sure enough, Xu Liping can charm Gu Zhenghong, and she always has some capital, at least her ability to reverse black and white, Gu Shuhan is willing to bow down. However, if he wants to step on her on the top, Xu Liping also has to weigh whether he has the ability!
Before she could reply to Xu Liping's words, Gu Shuhan felt a palm wind hitting the side of her face, and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, she took a step back, grabbed it, and grabbed the attacking hand. It turned out that Gu Zhenghong couldn't see his weak wife and children wronged, and wanted to teach Gu Shuhan a good lesson, an unfilial girl, but he didn't expect that the palm he swung out was easily caught by Gu Shuhan. Gu Shuhan held his hand and twisted it outward, Gu Zhenghong immediately let out a scream like killing a pig, and hurriedly retracted his hand, the wolf was unbearable.
"I'm sorry, I went too far in self-defense." Gu Shuhan said insincerely: "I, I don't like others to be rough with me the most, just now Mr. Gu wanted to slap me, I couldn't hold back for a while, and reflexively fought back, I'm really sorry, Mr. Gu." Would you like me to show you your wrist, if it's dislocated, isn't it my sin? ”
As soon as the words fell, she shot out again like lightning, grabbed Gu Shuhan's arm, pushed and pulled, only to hear a loud bang, this time, Gu Zhenghong's scream was louder than just now, Gu Shuhan was unmoved, "Look, isn't this coming back?" Don't thank me too much, Mr. Gu. ”
Xu Liping bit her lower lip angrily on the side and stared at Gu Shuhan deadly.
Originally, she had already won the support of everyone present, if it wasn't for Gu Zhenghong's appearance, I was afraid that half of the people in Thailand would help her to denounce Gu Shuhan together.
Now it's okay, Gu Zhenghong couldn't slap Gu Shuhan, but brought humiliation on himself.
Even if Gu Zhenghong succeeds, will he be beneficial? For the sake of his stepwife slapping his daughter, Xu Liping is reluctant to have such a reputation.
Gu Zhenghong's magic slapped Gu Shuhan back to a favorable position, after all, even if a father taught his daughter, this posture was too ugly, regardless of face and image. The slight advantages created by Xu Liping just now have disappeared under Gu Zhenghong's palm, and Xu Liping's heart is naturally unwilling.
