Chapter 151 He's really stubborn; can't you just try to coax him?
Gu Junze pushed the wheelchair forward, his steady voice breaking the tense atmosphere: "Once the Chu family's affairs are resolved, I will hand Chu Nanxin over to you."
His tone was calm and composed, yet carried an undeniable power.
Before Gu Chengyan could refuse, she pushed the wheelchair out on her own.
Chu Ruohan quickly followed.
"you……"
With just one glance from the Marquis of Anyang, Gu Chengyan immediately lost his temper and could only swallow his anger.
Looking at the figure in the wheelchair, the Marquis of Anyang thought, "This bastard has finally grown up..."
Before even reaching Hongmeng Courtyard, Gu Junze turned his wheelchair around and stared directly at Chu Ruohan.
"Do you have a grudge against Gu Chengyan?"
Chu Ruohan paused slightly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. "No."
Gu Junze stared intently at Chu Ruohan, as if trying to see right through her. "You answered too quickly."
He wasn't entirely unaware of what Chu Ruohan had been doing these past few days.
She knew from the beginning what Chu Nanxin was planning, and was just waiting for Chu Nanxin to return pregnant so she could expose her in front of everyone.
She wanted Gu Chengyan to be universally condemned, his reputation ruined, and treated like a rat in the street...
Step by step, from Gu Cheng'an, Gu's mother, Bao Ling, Lin Xingyao, Gu Chengyan...
It’s heartbreaking to kill someone!
As the wheelchair slowly approached, a sense of oppression washed over them, but then instantly reversed course, continuing towards the Hongmeng Academy.
Chu Ruohan had only taken two steps when she heard that cold voice, "No need to follow."
Chu Ruohan paused, realizing that Gu Junze was suspicious of her, or rather...
But she still obediently stopped.
Watching Gu Junze's departing figure, her past experiences made her hesitant to trust anyone easily.
The feeling of being reduced to a mere puppet, manipulated at will, and ultimately losing one's family and everything...
Now that she has returned victorious, she is determined to take her destiny firmly into her own hands.
Chu Ruohan took a deep breath, calming her turbulent emotions, and turned to leave.
She needs to deal with Chu Nanxin and Aunt Fang first...
As Gu Junze listened to the gradually fading sound, it was as if a drumbeat was being struck in his heart, making his thoughts grow deeper and deeper.
Can't you just come and comfort him?
Her subordinates turned the wheelchair even faster. She had married him with ulterior motives; she never cared about him as a person, but rather about his status as his legal wife.
She didn't want to marry Gu Cheng'an, so she settled for second best...
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Upon returning to Hongmeng Academy, he went straight into the study.
The study that Song Ruyan had smashed has long been restored to its original state.
"Yingqing".
Gu Junze spoke in a deep voice, still carrying a hint of lingering resentment.
"Young Master" Ying Qing pushed open the door and entered, awaiting instructions.
"Go and investigate. Don't overlook a single detail of the young mistress's past, from birth to the present."
Gu Junze leaned back in his wheelchair, his eyes slightly closed, his mind filled with Chu Ruohan's evasive gaze.
Ying Qing paused for a moment, nodded, and turned to leave.
Just as they reached the door, they heard Gu Junze's deep voice, "No need."
Yingqing paused. What's wrong? Did the young master and the young mistress have a fight?
Yingqing turned back to look at Gu Junze in confusion, only to see him still leaning against the back of his wheelchair, his eyes closed and his brows furrowed.
"Come back." Gu Junze slowly opened his eyes, the gloom in his eyes lessened, replaced by a look of weariness and helplessness.
"How could I be so impatient as to investigate my own wife?" He chuckled self-deprecatingly and waved for Yingqing to leave.
Although Yingqing was full of doubts, she still obeyed the order and left, gently closing the study door behind her.
Gu Junze sat alone in his study, his gaze fixed on a painting on his desk.
That was a portrait of him and his mother when he was a child. His mother's gentle smile seemed to offer him some comfort at that moment.
"Well, let's just take it one step at a time," he murmured softly, raising his hand to rub his temples.
He waited, hoping that one day Chu Ruohan would open her heart to him...
At this moment, Chu Ruohan had already arrived at the courtyard where Chu Nanxin was being held.
She pushed open the door, and there sat Chu Nanxin, sitting there blankly, her eyes empty, like a lifeless statue, as if she were quietly waiting for the final judgment to come.
The moment her gaze fell upon Chu Ruohan, a deep hatred flickered in her otherwise lifeless eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Chu Nanxin's voice was full of resentment and unwillingness, as if every word was squeezed out from between her teeth.
Chu Ruohan remained calm and said indifferently, "Xiangxiang has already explained everything clearly, and Prince Su has also left."
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Chu Nanxin's face, followed by a sense of relief. "So, you've come to send me on my way?"
Her tone carried a hint of resolve, as if she had already seen through her fate.
Chu Ruohan looked at Chu Nanxin quietly, without any smugness in her eyes, and calmly said, "I'll take you home."
Upon hearing this, Chu Nanxin was first taken aback, then, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, she threw her head back and laughed, her laughter filled with sorrow and despair.
Home? Does she even have a home anymore?
Chu Ruohan escorted Chu Nanxin back to the Chu family.
Sunlight streamed into the courtyard, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in Chu Nan's heart.
She staggered and was dragged to the main hall. Her legs gave way, and she knelt heavily on the polished floor.
In the main hall, the family was all present. On the table, a bowl of water sat quietly.
Chu Nanxin raised her head, her hair falling messily around her cheeks, but her eyes revealed a resolute determination that seemed to say, "What's the use of throwing caution to the wind?"
She stared at the bowl of water in front of her, her voice hoarse yet unusually firm: "There's no need for blood tests anymore."
As she spoke, she slowly raised her head, looking directly into Chu's father's eyes, and took a deep breath, "I am not your daughter, my biological father is Chu Ang."
These words were like a bombshell exploding in the hall.
The teacup in Chu's mother's hand slipped instantly and shattered on the ground with a crash, splashing tea everywhere.
"How is this possible?" Chu's mother's voice was sharp and trembling, her face full of disbelief, and her body swayed slightly from shock.
However, Chu's father remained surprisingly calm.
He squinted slightly, leaned back in his chair, and unconsciously tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.
In fact, from the moment Aunt Fang became pregnant again, he had a vague suspicion in his heart.
These days, he secretly investigated, and some clues made him more and more certain of his guess.
However, there has never been conclusive evidence, and he is unwilling to believe that the daughter he has loved for so many years is not his biological child.
"You...is what you're saying true?" Father Chu asked, his voice steady, but a slight, barely perceptible tremor could still be heard if you listened carefully.
Chu Nan smiled bitterly, "At this point, what else do I have to hide?"
"You idiot, you've been raising someone else's daughter for so many years."
Chu Yueshu's chest heaved violently, her finger trembling as she pointed at her, "Do you have any conscience? Over the years, your parents have treated you like their own daughter. There has never been any distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children in our family."
"The four of us grew up together..."
