Chapter 35: Confide
"Don't always put all the pain on yourself."
Gu Lingyue gently stroked Deng Mingxuan's soft hair with her hand and soothed him.
Her soft gaze fell on this man who was calm and mature on weekdays, but now so fragile.
Like a wounded beast, he lay in the dark and licked his wounds silently.
"Haven't you always wanted to know what kind of family I came from?"
Deng Mingxuan didn't look up, just leaned quietly on her shoulder, and quietly told Gu Lingyue about his own life experience.
"Until I was fifteen, I was attached to my mother and never saw my father."
Hearing Deng Mingxuan say this, Gu Lingyue's mouth opened slightly, her eyebrows twisted slightly, and she was surprised and distressed by the suffering he had suffered before.
She didn't know what she could do to make Deng Mingxuan's mood feel better.
Deng Mingxuan could feel Gu Lingyue's distress and comfort to him. He shook his head slightly, signaling Gu Lingyue not to say anything.
Different from the usual cold and magnetic voice, he hoarsely told the heavy and sad emotional baggage he had carried in the past 25 years.
"Although I have always been envious of children of the same age who have fathers, life is also very difficult. But I am still very happy, my mother gave me everything she had, educated me, nurtured me, and gave me all her love. ”
"Where is that aunt now? Why didn't you take me to see her all the time? ”
Gu Lingyue asked with doubts. Although she always knew that Deng Mingxuan was from a broken family, she never knew where his mother was?
It was only seven years ago that she met a man suspected to be his father.
Why didn't Deng Mingxuan take her to see his mother all the time? Even if his relationship with his father had broken down, he and his mother must have been very close.
"She's gone, seven years ago, she left me in a car accident to save me."
"How can this be, why is there a car accident for no reason!"
Gu Lingyue exclaimed, if she had known about this matter, she would definitely not have revealed his scars. She said to Deng Mingxuan with guilt:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"I don't need to apologize, I'm used to it, but my mother's death must have been closely related to the man's second wife."
Hearing such a shocking truth, Gu Lingyue's pupils dilated suddenly, and her crooked apricot eyes widened, and she said in surprise:
"What's going on?"
Deng Mingxuan held Gu Lingyue's small hand tightly with his big hand, as if an injured person was looking for a support point.
"When I was fifteen years old, my mother took me back to see my titular father. When I was eighteen years old, my mother was in a car accident with me.
When Deng Mingxuan said this, the emotions that had begun to calm down became excited.
Deng Mingxuan's hands were clenched into fists, his sword eyebrows were tightly twisted, his eyes revealed a strong hatred, and his whole body exuded a cold and gloomy aura.
"This crash was clearly man-made, as the car was inspected before departure and was safe!"
His eyes became red and swollen, his voice hoarse, and he continued:
"After the accident, although my consciousness began to be confused, I knew very well that the passers-by at that time called the first person to call an ambulance. But the ambulance didn't arrive. ”
Gu Lingyue looked at Deng Mingxuan, who looked so painful, and really didn't want to let him reminisce anymore.
She took the initiative to extend her hands and hugged him tightly from behind. The warmth slowly passed from behind him, with his familiar body fragrance.
"Don't say it, if it's too painful, don't say it."
"No, let me finish it."
Deng Mingxuan took her hand, and under the thick hatred, he hid his sadness and loneliness. Ling'er, do you know why he left her seven years ago?
He is such an unbearable person, except that he is the son of Deng Haoxian, there is nothing. It is very likely that he will lose his own life at any time.
Ling'er, it is precisely because he is so weak that he can't be with her, he has no ability to protect his beloved, what qualifications does he have to stay by her side.
"My father's second wife was a femme fatale who was good at disguise.
She has always treated me very well in front of everyone, but behind the scenes, she has been making small movements to kill me. I suspect that she also orchestrated my mother's death! ”
"Why did she kill you? Unless there's something in you that she's determined to get, and she's desperate to get it, she's going to do it so ruthlessly. ”
Gu Lingyue couldn't understand that now that the law is so sound, the relationship between people, even if they are very dissatisfied with each other, will not easily beat people.
Not to mention buying a murderer, unless there is a huge profit! She seriously pondered this possibility, and vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.
"My father was the CEO of the Deng Group and the patriarch of the Deng Shang family, and when I was eighteen years old, he publicly declared that his successor would be me."
"Oh my God, you are actually the legendary second-ranked prince of the Deng Group!"
Gu Lingyue was completely shocked by this explosive news.
She really received a lot of unbelievable news tonight that was far from her life. I couldn't accept this fact for a while, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
Her de jure husband, she always thought that he, like her, was a person from a well-off family, and he was actually the legal heir of the famous Deng Group!
Deng Group started as a catering business, and now it has been involved in real estate, IT industry, clothing, jewelry and other industries, and is second only to Xuanlong Group, where he and she work!
Although Xuanlong Group ranks first, the CEO of the group has always been a dragon without a dragon's tail, which is very mysterious.
Only the people in the president's secretary department have the opportunity to contact him, her secretary's department is just an office organization, responsible for sorting out the information, and it is the elites in the president's secretary department who really give orders!
But the Deng Group is different, it is a typical family business, and the heir is only designated by the patriarch of the Deng Shang family.
The Deng Shang family is a family that has been inherited for a hundred years, and it is rumored that the patriarchs of the Deng Shang family are all business wizards, so the inheritance from generation to generation has made the family so huge.
This is a well-known secret in the business world. It's just that who this heir is, only the people in the highest-level circle know.
"Since your father has declared you to be his legal heir, how can your stepmother fight for the inheritance."
This is the problem that Gu Lingyue can't understand, since Deng Mingxuan's father has already announced it publicly. Why did his stepmother still buy homicide!
"Because according to the family rules, only after the accidental death of the legal heir, the second heir can inherit the Deng group. Otherwise, all the rules of the clan are not to be violated. ”
Deng Mingxuan told Gu Lingyue about the family rules inherited by the Deng Shang family for hundreds of years.
"And the second heir is my half-brother, Deng Haoran. He's just two years younger than me. ”
