Chapter 26: Gu Yichen's Origins

h! No! Please, darling! Don't freeze that card, I have my reasons! Let me explain to you! I promise this will never happen again! Please!"It was Gu Weiwei who was on the phone, pleading desperately.He...This is Gu Yichen.

Su Keqin was struck dumb, her face paling as if struck by lightning.

How could she have never thought that Lin Xiaoru's fiance was actually Gu Yichan

and so on.

Her father, Lin Haisheng, didn't say that Lin Xiaoru's fiancé was Gu Jia's young master, how could it be Gu Yichen

Could it be that……

Su Keqin's face turned even paler.

At this time, Lin Xiaoru, who was holding Su Kexin's arm, put on a surprised expression and then suddenly laughed, "That's right, I almost forgot. Ah Han used to be at Z University too, and he was also in the Journalism Department. He was my sister's senior."

Su Ke Xin didn't answer, she just stared fixedly at Gu Yi Han.

It was clear that Gu Yichen wasn't surprised to see her at all.

Also, back when they first got together, she had told Gu Yichen that she was Lin's illegitimate daughter.

So, did he knowingly marry Lin Xiaoru, his own sister

Well.

My first love, turned into my brother-in-law. How ironic is that

"Indeed, I recognize that." Su Ke Xin pressed down on the bitterness in her heart and spoke calmly, "It's just been a long time."

Gu Yichen's eyes narrowed slightly at Su Ke Xin's indifference.

At this moment, a dignified and elegant middle-aged noblewoman walked out of the room. Upon seeing Su Kexin, a slight stiffness appeared on her face, but she still spoke, "Kexin is here."

Looking at the woman before her, Su Kexin's face also turned cold, but she still said, "Aunt Jiang."

The woman before her was named Jiang Ling. She was her father's wife and Lin Xiaoru's mother, but not her mother.

Her mother is still in the hospital, only able to be kept alive by medication.

As they walked into the restaurant, they saw Su Keixin's father, Lin Haisheng, already sitting there. Seeing his daughter whom he hadn't seen in several months, Lin Haisheng showed no emotion whatsoever, only nodding to greet her.

Jiang Ling was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Lin Xiaoru and Gu Yichen were feeding each other fruit in the living room, when Lin Haisheng suddenly whispered, "Ke Xin, will you come for a walk with me to the courtyard"

Su Ke Xin originally didn't want to watch Yu Han and Lin Xiao Ru showing their affection, so she nodded and got up.

"How's your mother doing lately" Lin Haisheng spoke as he stood in the yard.

"Still the same as before." Su Kexin's face was calm.

"Her medical bills probably aren't cheap, if you need them—"

"No need." Before Lin Haisheng could finish his sentence, Su Keixin interrupted him directly, "I can still hold on myself."

Lin Haisheng frowned, "Ke Xin, why do you have to be so strong Our family doesn't lack this money."

When Lin Haisheng said this, there was a kind of bone-deep sense of superiority and condescension that made Su Keixin feel very uncomfortable.

"No need really." She pressed down the annoyance in her heart, "If you give us more money, I'm afraid Aunt Ginger would make a fuss again I don't want anyone else running to the hospital and causing a scene."

Lin Haisheng's face flashed a hint of embarrassment. He wanted to say something, but when he looked up and saw Su Kexin behind him, his expression changed. "Young Master Gu"

Su Keqin looked up and saw Gu Yichen with his hands in his pockets, walking towards them.

"Uncle," Gu Yichan had always been a gentle and refined presence in front of others. "I have something I'd like to talk to my elder sister about, would it be convenient"

Lin Haisheng was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and walked into the room alone.

As soon as Lin Haisheng left, Su Keixin was about to follow suit, but Gu Yichan pulled her back.

"Well, Su Keixin, you don't even react to seeing me become your brother-in-law" Gu Yichen looked down at Su Keixin, his voice laced with sarcasm.

"What reaction do you want from me" Su Keqin looked at Gu Yichan coldly, "Or, do you want me to call you, Young Master Gu"

Gu Yichen gripped Su Kexin's hand, suddenly tightening his grip, making the white of her skin flush red.

Su Kexin seemed to feel no pain at all, only a mocking smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "What You don't allow me to speak anymore The poor boy who couldn't even afford tuition fees just became the young master of the Gu family. Life is truly unpredictable."

Su Kexin said this, rather than mocking Gu Yichen, it was more like self-deprecation.

How could she have been so foolish as to believe that Gu Yichen was a child from a poor family How could a child from a poor family not even know how to cook rice or take the bus

Su Ke Xin's words pierced Gu Yi Han, he angrily said: "Yes! I did deceive you before! But so what! If I hadn't pretended to be a poor boy, how could I have seen through your ugly face!"

Gu Yichen dislikes being called "Young Master Gu" by others, and he even more dislikes the people around him always treating him differently because of his family background.

So, when he was in college, he turned down his father's offer to study abroad in Britain. Instead, he went to Z University in the neighboring city and pretended to be a poor boy.

It was then that he met Su Keqin.

When he first met Su Ke Xin, he truly cherished her because she loved him only for "Gu Yi Han," not because he was "Gu Jia Xiao Gongzi."

But later, reality slapped him hard in the face. Su Kexin abandoned him after he fell on hard times, and for money, she even...

Looking at those photos from back then, Gu Yichen only felt his heart was being cut to pieces. His grip tightened. "Su Ke Xin, how is it Now you know I'm not just the editor of your magazine, but also a member of the Gu family. Are you even more regretful now Hmph, it's a pity that in this world, there is no medicine for regret!"

Su Ke Xin slowly raised her eyes, looking at Gu Yi Han's angry face, and murmured, "Yeah, in this world, if there were pills for regret, how good it would be."

She spoke, and before Gu Yichen could react, she suddenly wrenched herself free from him. "In that case, I wish I had never met you!"

The cold words came out, Su Keqin quickly turned her head and walked back to the room.

As soon as Su Kexin stepped into the corridor, she could no longer hold back. She leaned against the wall, tears streaming down her face.

She didn't want to explain to Gu Yichen before because she thought it was unnecessary. But now, she really didn't want to explain, she didn't want to explain to this man who had deceived her and never trusted her.

Only now did she realize that her first love, the one she had cherished above all else, had been a complete fabrication from start to finish.

"Sister"

At the brink of collapse, Su Ke Xin suddenly heard a crisp and melodious voice in her ear.

Su KeXin looked up and saw Lin XiaRu standing beside her, her stunningly beautiful face inscrutable.

Su Keqin quickly held back her tears, "What's wrong"

"It's nothing, Mom said she needs to pick up some red wine, want to come with me"

Su Ke Xin nodded and followed Lin Xiao Ru towards the wine cellar.

"Actually, Ah Han doesn't like drinking red wine." When choosing the wine, Lin Xiaoru suddenly spoke up, "Hmm, he has so many habits, completely unlike a rich family heir."

Su Ke Xin didn't know why Lin Xiao Ru was telling her this, she could only hum in response.

“So, it’s normal that my elder sister didn't recognize Ah Han as the young master of the Gu family back then.” Lin Xiaoru continued, Su Ke Xin’s expression suddenly stiffened, she looked up at her, and saw her smiling brightly, “But sister, even if you regret it now, Ah Han is already mine.”im who was truly worthy of looking down on others.After finishing her day's work, Gu Ke Yu couldn't wait to return to her apartment. She had been thinking about the female CEO all day and was eager to...
