To him, this pain was no less than having his heart cut out.
"Will you continue to listen?"
Fu Nanli almost uttered a few words through his teeth, "Go on."
"After that, Gu Yunzhu was sent abroad. Your parents' relationship..."
To be honest, Qin Bei didn't know whether the two had ever had any feelings for each other.
"Their relationship fell apart even more. A year before his death, your father went abroad. It was found that he had to see a psychologist once a week in Country M. At that time, he was already a severe patient of depression. After that, he... chose to leave this world. He and Gu Yunzhu left behind a child named Gu Xiao. He..."
Fu Nanli did not say anything to stop him, so Qin Bei continued, "Gu Xiao is a very smart boy. He was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the age of 17, just like you. However, he gave up his studies in his junior year and came to Haicheng."
Fu Nanli was silent for a while and then asked, "How has he been doing these years?"
"Gu Yunzhu seems to have instilled a lot of ideas about revenge in him. In addition, since your father passed away, Gu Yunzhu has been smoking and drinking, living a decadent life, so Gu Xiao..."
"That's enough."
Qin Bei: "What I want to say is that these are all very objective and searchable data, but I don't know the psychology of the parties involved, including what your parents think. I am not sure about the relationship between your father and your mother, and whether there is love between them and Gu Yunzhu."
Fu Nanli sat there, motionless.
Regardless of the relationship, it is an established fact that his father cheated on his wife, and it is also a foregone conclusion that he had an illegitimate child.
What's the point of investigating and verifying those things
"Now Gu Yunzhu and Gu Xiao have returned to Haicheng, probably for the Fu family's property."
Fu Nanli chuckled softly, with a cold light in his eyes.
"I'll have someone keep an eye on the mother and son. Also, your father didn't have much inheritance back then. Most of it was in the names of your grandfather and your mother. Now most of it is in your name. Our country's current laws stipulate that illegitimate children also have inheritance rights. If a lawsuit is brought, it will be a stalemate. Don't worry. Should I let He Par know?"
Fu Nanli said in a low voice: "Let's talk."
"Okay." Qin Bei finished his report and left.
He was the only one left in the huge house. Wen Qiao stood on the second floor and looked at the people in the dining room carefully. He saw that he was just sitting quietly at the dining table, not moving at all.
It seemed like a century had passed. Her heart ached unbearably, so she went downstairs and hugged him from behind.
Fu Nanli comforted her instead: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Fu Nanli really acted like nothing had happened in front of Wen Qiao. He even told her, "It's all in the past. It won't affect me too much."
Although he said so, Wen Qiao's life was still affected to some extent. The teacher called on her twice in class to tell her not to be distracted.
While she was practicing the piano in the Minyue Building, Dong Ge called her and asked her to go to the club in the evening.
In the evening, Wen Qiao went to the club. Dong Ge pinched the cigarette butt in his hand and rubbed his messy hair: "Gu Xiao hasn't come to the club for training for two days, and his phone can't be reached."
Wen Qiao was silent for a moment, then he snorted inwardly. After a while, he said, "If you don't want to come, then don't come. Let Xia Bai take his place. How far can he go this time?"
