Chapter 246: Chapter 246: A Product Of Rape

Song Recommendation: Igloo By Kiss Of Life

"He has finally found his childhood sweetheart?" Tang Mo asked as he watched the situation.

"I guess so, he never told us about it, perhaps this is why he has been scarce lately," Li Qiang replied.

Wu Tang wanted to chirp into the conversation, but he had nothing to say. He twirled the wine glass, feeling lost. He knew he had messed up big time.

"But it is good news that he has found his soulmate, this was the only thing pushing him previously," Li Qiang commented.

"Do you have something to say, Wu Tang?" Xin Yan asked, and all eyes turned to him.

Xin Yan has always been perceptive, and she noticed that he had an uncomfortable look on his face. It was obvious he had something to say, thus, she asked.

"Erm. It’s nothing, you all can continue," Wu Tang was quick to dismiss Xin Yan’s claims.

"Hi everybody," Wu Tang was saved from the awkwardness when Lu Wei walked up to them.

"Lu Wei, you finally found her?" Tang Mo asked immediately as he watched him take his seat.

"Yes, did you like the way I made my intention known?" Lu Wei asked, replying to Tang Mo’s question at the same time.

"You did well," Li Qiang patted his back. He was not lying to him, by the way.

"Sisters-in-law, how are you... Eh? What is he doing here?" Lu Wei stopped midway when he realized Lu Wei was seated at the same table as them.

"I will provide you more information about it later, for now, you need to think of how to court her," Li Qiang was quick to divert his attention from Wu Tang.

Lu Wei was not yet aware of the truth, so a fight could break out now, and that will be a stain on his reputation.

After all the gifts had been presented, it was finally time for the main reason for the party to begin, socializing.

All the guests wanted to walk up to Li Qiang, Wu Tang, and Tang Mo, but they refrained from doing so.

They could only resort to discussing among themselves. But they were confused, it was only two days ago when Wu Tang decided to go against Li Qiang, but currently, they were seated at the same table, and they seemed to look harmonious.

After the party, Gu Shishi was in the living room, alongside all the family members of the Gu family, including the grandparents.

"There is no way my granddaughter is leaving this house, it is not enough that you made her have a room at the outermost part of the house, and we did not say anything about it, but now, you want to send her out of the house, on what grounds?

Tell me, what has she done? She is your daughter for crying out loud," Grandma Gu began coughing after her speech.

"Take it easy, Grandma, your blood pressure will shoot up," Gu Shishi rubbed her grandma’s back soothingly, shooting a disappointed look to her parents.

Mother Gu lowered her head. She was unable to speak.

"Will you give us the reason for your unprecedented hatred towards Gu Shishi?" Grandpa Gu pressed. This was the most pressing question. To find out the reason for the immense hatred towards his child.

"That is because she is not my child! She is a child borne out of rape!" Gu Guan yelled.

This statement everyone as they turned to look at the man whose veins were popped out in shock.

"What!" They all yelled simultaneously.

Grandma Gu immediately held her chest, she had just been stimulated by the news, as she coughed twice.

Tears fell from Mother Gu’s eyes at his words. Her entire body trembled as more tears dropped from her eyes.

Gu Shishi who had been rubbing her grandmother’s back paused. As though it were a slow motion, she turned to look at her father, unsure if she had heard the right words.

"You must be kidding me, right? I know you are kidding me, I am a product of rape? If you are playing with me, it is best you stopped now, that is such an expensive joke, and I cannot take it," Gu Shishi’s eyes were unfocused as she looked between both of them.

One looked furious, the other had tears streaming down from her face. No matter how one looked at it, it was the truth. Gu Guan was not someone to lie, especially with such a considerable matter.

"That is not possible," Gu Shishi whispered, she was unable to believe it.

"That is not possible," this time, she yelled as she ran out of the house.

Gu Guan watched her run out of the house, and he sneered. He could not be bothered with a daughter who did not belong to him.

"Gu Guan, you have to give us a reasonable explanation, what do you mean by what you just said?" Grandpa Gu stomped his walking stick as he questioned authoritatively.

"Gu Fen was raped by a man whenever went on the business trip years ago, the rape case brought about Gu Shishi," Gu Guan explained calmly.

Honestly, Grandma and Grandpa Gu could not take another hit. If they hear any bad news, then it was safe to say that they could end up dying.

"You do not mean it," Grandma Gu whispered. The revelation was too much for her to bear.

How could her dearest granddaughter be a product of rape? She was not even her granddaughter.

"Do you want to know who raped Fen?" Gu Guan asked.

He did not wait for them to reply as he announced who it was immediately, "it was Tang Jun, so you should know that Tang Jun is the father of Gu Shishi, not me, so tell me, should I be friendly to someone who is not my daughter?"

Actually, Gu Guan’s reasons were not baseless, but he handled the matter in the wrong way.

"Why did you not inform anyone of this? Why did you both decide to keep it to yourself?" Grandpa Gu asked. He was the most rational one here.

"Because I was trying to protect her reputation, but then again, nothing can stay hidden under the sun for too long," Gu Guan replied, his reply nonchalant.

"I always knew it, this is the reason she doesn’t even look like any of us, it turns out she is not a member of this family," Gu Shishi’s elder brother muttered with disgust.

"Be quiet, you should be ashamed of yourself," Grandma Gu was quick to shut him up. Regardless, she still considered Gu Shishi to be her granddaughter.
