Gu Zhiyin narrowed his eyes, "Yes."
"Where's that woman?"
He looked very indifferent and said, "I dug him."
"..."
Mu Ning took a deep breath and turned her head to see his cold and cruel face.
The rain swished to the ground.
Gu Zhiyin held a cigarette between her fingers, suddenly chuckled, and raised her chin slightly, "That place belongs to her, and no one can enter."
The place he was pointing to was the cemetery next to Mr. Qi Jing.
Mu Ning knew that the woman Gu Zhiyin was talking about was his biological mother.
At the same time, she also felt that Gu Zhiyin cared about his mother.
"But I heard... Mr. Qi Jing was a romantic when he was young. He was not kind to Miss Shuhui. He even married Lin Ailan as his first wife, but he still didn't let Miss Shuhui go and locked her up. The Gu family doesn't allow her to leave, and the outside world has spread that she is..." the mistress who interfered with Gu Zhiyin's father and his first wife.
This was all a matter of the previous generation, she heard it from the servants.
Jiang Shuhui was Gu Zhiyin's mother, and Lin Ailan was Jiang Shuhui's best friend and the woman who was buried with Gu Qijing before.
Now Gu Zhiyin asked someone to dig him out.
"Anyway, the rumors about Mr. Qi Jing are not good." Mu Ning said.
Gu Zhiyin nodded, "He is a scumbag."
"Since he is a scumbag, why do you want to bury Miss Shuhui with him?"
Mu Ning couldn't understand that Miss Shuhui had not been able to escape during her lifetime. She had been harmed by this kind of man all her life, and they were still buried together after death. Wouldn't she be in pain?
"This is her wish."
Gu Zhiyin said calmly.
"Now it's my last wish, my only last wish."
Mu Ning was surprised, "So...your mother still loves Mr. Qi Jing very much?"
Gu Zhiyin smiled and said, "I don't know."
Mu Ning felt that his smile was a bit sarcastic.
Quite ironic indeed.
A man who didn't love her humiliated and tortured her so much, married another woman, never gave her a status from beginning to end, and wanted to live and die together.
She was silent and didn't speak again. Gu Zhiyin glanced at her and said, "Ning Ning wants to know about my past?"
Mu Ning's thoughts were seen through.
She really wanted to know Gu Zhiyin's past, what he had gone through, and why he became such a person.
His mother's name was unfair, and even the name "Miss Shuhui" became a taboo for the Gu family.
I guess he wasn't doing well.
Mu Ning shook his head, "No, Uncle Gu won't say it if he doesn't want to. I just want to make you happy."
Gu Zhiyin chuckled nonchalantly, "Seeing that you are so curious, let me tell you a story."
…
More than thirty years ago, the capital was not called Jingcheng, but Kyoto.
Miss Shuhui is the most beautiful nightclub girl in Kyoto. She sings well and has a graceful figure. She wears a red dress and twists her waist on the dance floor. She is nicknamed the number one "dance floor singer" in Kyoto.
As long as she smiles, no man will bow to her.
Therefore, Gu Qijing, the youngest son of the Gu family from one of the four most wealthy families in Kyoto, was willing to kneel down for her and wanted to marry her.
Of course the Gu family did not agree with this marriage, and was strongly opposed by Mrs. Gu.
The old lady looked down upon a promiscuous woman who sang in a nightclub, so she would not be allowed to marry into the Gu family.
I don’t know what the old lady said to Miss Shuhui. Miss Shuhui packed her things that night and left Kyoto without saying a word, disappearing from the world.
After Gu Qijing found out, he went crazy looking for her all over the world.
It was already half a year later when I found Miss Shuhui.
She is pregnant and living with a man.
Gu Qijing was furious and locked up Miss Shuhui.
Locked up in a basement, no one can see him.
Gu Qijing returned to his former high spirits. The old lady thought that he had forgotten about Jiang Shuhui and finally recovered from his madness, so she immediately arranged a marriage for him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qijing wanted no one, but only Lin Ailan, the daughter of the Lin family, by name.
That is, the woman who is a sister to Jiang Shuhui.
Jiang Shuhui is an orphan, and her relationship with Lin Ailan is similar to that of Mu Ning and Lu Xinting.
But the difference is that Lin Ailan has loved Gu Qijing since she was a child, but she has always hidden it in her heart.
But everyone can see that Gu Qijing married Lin Ailan to humiliate Jiang Shuhui.
Jiang Shuhui lived a life of darkness, while Gu Qijing married a wife outside, took over the company, and lived a prosperous life.
No one knew that a poor woman was locked up in the basement of a villa on the outskirts of the city.
And this level is seven years.
Not even Mrs. Gu knew about this matter.
Mu Ning was extremely shocked after hearing this, "Uncle Gu, then you... you also..."
"Yes." Gu Zhiyin looked indifferent, "I have never been exposed to sunlight since I was born."
He was locked inside with Jiang Shuhui.
I lived in that dark basement for seven years.
Because he has not seen the sun for many years, his skin is whiter than that of a normal child.
Mu Ning once said with jealousy that he was born with cold skin and that no matter how many women spent money on him, it was useless, as if he had never been in the sun.
I didn't expect him...
He must have felt very sad when he heard this.
But he always just smiled and said nothing.
Before Gu Zhiyin was seven years old, he had no schooling, no education, no family or friends, and no contact with the outside world. Therefore, his heart was empty, cold, dead, and had no compassion. He did not understand what emotion was or what it was. The law of the world, regard yourself as God...
"So you were only willing to get close to me back then because you saw the epitome of yourself in me?"
Gu Zhiyin stared at the burning cigarette in his hand, "Yeah."
"But we are different. At least I am free and I have been happy. Although I don't have the ones that a healthy family has, I have seen them and I know what they are like."
Although Mu Ning lived a poor life when she was a child, she at least knew the warmth and warmth of the world, as well as the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.
"So you are luckier than me." Gu Zhiyin smiled gently, touched her head, and said in a much deeper voice, "Fortunately, you are luckier than me."
Mu Ning thought for a while and understood the meaning of the second half of his sentence.
Every time Gu Qijing went back to the basement to visit his mother and son, he would always get drunk.
Each time, he forced Jiang Shuhui to have sex with him.
Gu Zhiyin was in the corner of the room, watching from a distance.
His sexual initiation, far too early, came from his mother and that beast.
So much so that he developed an extreme conflict of deep hatred and yearning for the desire between men and women. Especially after meeting Mu Ning, this feeling of tearing became even more serious.
No wonder Mu Ning felt that he was so abstinent before that he felt like he was going to become a monk. After he turned to meat, he felt like a floodgate that couldn't be closed. He was so lustful that he could think of it anytime and anywhere.
Gu Zhiyin didn't think about running away.
After he became conscious, he tried to persuade Jiang Shuhui many times. Jiang Shuhui scolded him for being unfilial, wanted to betray his father, and even attacked him.
Every time I moved my hands, I would break down and cry holding him, begging him not to have such thoughts again.
In fact, at that time, Jiang Shuhui had been tortured to the point of losing her nerve.
She regarded Gu Qijing as a god, living in the dream Gu Qijing weaved for her, looking forward to his coming every day.
When Gu Zhiyin was seven years old, he found out that Gu Qijing had a woman outside. He couldn't help it and ran out secretly.
He disappeared for a month. Gu Qijing did not send anyone to look for him. He came back by himself. When he came back, he saw the woman.
Lin Ailan's life was not going well. She had been tortured to death by this loveless marriage.
But Lin Ailan knew about Gu Zhiyin's existence and went crazy with a knife to stab him to death.
In the end... Lin Ailan died, and the child in her belly also died.
"Uncle Gu...then she and her child are you..."
Gu Zhiyin laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's me."
He looked at Mu Ning with red eyes, "Don't be afraid."
Mu Ning shook his head, walked over and took his hand, and found that his hand was shaking, and his palm was so cold that he felt biting.
He was only seven years old at the time and used self-defense to avoid legal responsibility.
After Gu Qijing found out about this, he got very drunk outside. When he came back, he hit Gu Zhiyin's head with a wine bottle in a rage, and stabbed him out of control with the half-broken bottle.
Mu Ning was frightened when he heard this, "So that's how you got the scar on the back of your head?"
Gu Zhiyin raised his eyes in surprise, "You know?"
"Of course I know."
Gu Zhiyin's hair is very soft, a little longer than the short hair of ordinary boys.
When he was ill and hospitalized last time, she played with his hair and saw it. At that time, she thought it was an enemy who chopped it off. It was not a good thing anyway, so she didn't ask.
He never cut his hair very short just to hide this scar.
"And I also know about the scar on your lower back. You told me it was caused by appendicitis."
Mu Ning rolled his eyes, "You're coaxing a three-year-old child. The appendicitis is in the lower back, and the shape is not a knife wound at all."
Gu Zhiyin raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Really? I told you this?"
He didn't even remember it, maybe he made it up casually to get by.
Mu Ning pulled his lips, "What happened next?"
Later, the Gu family found out about this and immediately sent someone. Gu Zhiyin was covered in blood and was rescued by Mr. Gu.
The Gu family would never tolerate Gu Zhiyin's existence, and it was Mr. Gu who saved him.
In the Gu family, Mr. Gu was the only person who was sincere to him and gave him warmth.
Teach him how to behave and teach him principles.
No wonder Mr. Gu was seriously ill and Gu Zhiyin had to spend so much money to find a matching blood type across the country.
Only then did he find Mu Ning.
Everything is fate.
As for Gu Zhiyin's head, in addition to being hit by the wine bottle, he also suffered other serious impacts. At that time, he had an operation to clear the blood in his skull.
He was so young and underwent such a major operation that he almost came off the operating table alive.
This is why he has suffered from frequent headaches for many years, a sequelae of the accident.
After the news of Jiang Shuhui's imprisonment came out, the Gu family felt very embarrassed and suppressed the matter.
Jiang Shuhui, who was already mentally ill, was sent to a nursing home, and Gu Qijing was completely decadent. He was drunk and dreaming all day long, and would only visit her when he was awake.
Later, Gu Qijing touched something he shouldn't have touched and became addicted. One injection was too large and a blood vessel burst and died.
Mu Ning was horrified, "So... Mr. Qi Jing died like this. I heard them say it was a car accident."
Gu Zhiyin said calmly: "How could the Gu family allow this kind of thing to spread? They must give him a normal cause of death."
Mu Ning pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "Maybe he was in too much pain and touched that kind of thing just to numb himself."
Gu Zhiyin sneered noncommittally, "You asked for it."
Mu Ning didn't see any sympathy or pity for this father at all, no emotion at all, as if he was talking about other people's family affairs.
"Uncle Gu, do you hate him?"
"What's the point of hating a person after he's dead? It only adds to the troubles." Gu Zhiyin glanced at her frivolously, "I have enough troubles in one day."
"But he is your father, so he will always have some kind of emotion. Even hatred is considered a kind of emotion. He can't be so indifferent."
Gu Zhiyin was silent for a moment, "He's not."
"Huh? He's not...what? You mean, he's not your father?!"
Mu Ning was stunned, thinking he was joking.
"Well, no."
There is too much information.
Mu Ning was shocked for a long time, "...you are not his biological son?!"
Gu Zhiyin raised his eyebrows, "What, you're disappointed?"
"No, I'm shocked. Why did you say it so calmly?"
He smiled nonchalantly, "It's unknown to outsiders, but it's not a secret in the Gu family. Besides, it's embarrassing to be his son."
The younger generation of the Gu family didn't know either, and Mrs. Gu didn't allow them to discuss it.
Mu Ning didn't know what to say. It was even more shocking than what she had heard.
Gu Zhiyin is actually Jiang Shuhui's child with another man?
No wonder Gu Qijing went crazy at that time and wanted to imprison Jiang Shuhui after snatching her back.
Because Gu Qijing hated Jiang Shuhui for leaving without saying goodbye, and hated her for being pregnant with someone else's child!
Let's just say that a tiger's poison cannot eat its own children. How could a father be so cruel to his own son? It turns out he is not his biological son...
Then isn't Gu Zhiyin not even considered an illegitimate child?
No wonder he is so indifferent to the Gu family.
Mu Ning tilted her head and looked at him, "But you really look like him."
Gu Zhiyin froze and glanced at her lightly, "Does it look like it?"
"yes."
He frowned, "It doesn't look the same."
"Not only do you look alike, your attitudes towards relationships, your personalities, and your behavior are exactly the same..."
Paranoid, extreme, imprisoned...
Gu Zhiyin's hand shook, and the cigarette ashes flew down. He lowered his eyes and seemed to have been thinking for a long time.
He curled his lips mockingly, raised his hand to take a puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled, "It's really annoying."
More than one person said it looked like it.
Everyone who has seen them says they are father and son.
The cigarette felt a bit nauseating in his mouth, so he threw it on the ground and crushed it out with his feet.
Then he reached out and pulled Mu Ning over, "Ning Ning, I won't do it again, never again. I promise you, I will be a good person."
Mu Ning smelled the smell of tobacco that was stronger than before. He was silent for a long time and sighed, "Uncle Gu, I don't blame you."
She spoke slowly, "I know that there is a type of people in this world who are different from normal people. They have not received love since childhood and grew up in a dark, broken, and extremely desperate environment, which led them to have extreme and morbid emotions when they grow up. "
"I couldn't understand it before, but now I can understand the love of such people."
At this point, she looked at the tombstone and said, "Maybe Mr. Qi Jing loved your mother until he died."
Gu Zhiyin held her tightly in his arms and said hoarsely: "It's not important anymore."
"It's not important anymore..."
Mrs. Gu blamed Jiang Shuhui for Gu Qijing's death because beauty was a disaster, which ruined Gu Qijing's originally smooth life.
Therefore, they disliked seeing her even more, and her name became a taboo for the Gu family.
Of course, including her children, the old lady hated them all.
"In that case, why does the old lady seem to appreciate using you so much?"
Let him take the position of president, take over Gu's business, and become the largest controlling shareholder of Gu's business.
There are so many descendants of the Gu family, but none of them can get their turn.
Gu Zhiyin laughed mockingly, "You also know that you appreciate reuse."
It has nothing to do with liking.
To put it nicely, it means appreciating its reuse; to put it harshly, it means that it is valuable to use.
Use him to work for the Gu family.
Compared with the insignificant children and grandchildren of the Gu family, Gu Zhiyin can create supreme glory and wealth for the Gu family.
But outsiders are always outsiders.
Just like Mu Ning, he will be ignored and ostracized.
It's just that he has a high status, ability and ability, so they don't dare to challenge him openly.
"Uncle Gu, is the matter you have to deal with when you stay here related to the relocation of your mother's grave?"
Gu Zhiyin said "hmm".
In fact, there was one more thing he didn't tell Mu Ning.
The marriage of the Qiao family.
He hugged Mu Ning tighter.
Mu Ning was thinking, it turned out that he was tripped up by this matter.
Miss Shuhui has never married Mr. Qi Jing in her whole life, and neither of them has ever been married.
It would be difficult for the old lady to relent and allow Shuhui to enter the Gu family tree.
But this wordless monument is actually standing here.
Gu Zhiyin and the old lady should have reached some kind of agreement.
Mu Ning cleverly guessed that this might be the reason why the old lady restrained him. Otherwise, according to Hu Zhiyin's character, he would not have been controlled by the old lady for so many years.
"But Uncle Gu, if your mother was conscious, there is no way she would want to be buried with Mr. Qi Jing. It would be too late to escape."
Gu Zhiyin looked confused, "I didn't do anything for her when she was alive. Now that she's dead, I have to do something to satisfy her."
Jiang Shuhui died of depression, with only one wish before her death——
Life is not the same quilt, death is the same point.
She wanted to be buried with Gu Qijing in the Gu Cemetery, under the ground, and become a real couple.
"As long as she wants, I will do it for her." Gu Zhiyin whispered.
Mu Ning deeply felt the love that this man who did not understand emotions had for his mother.
It's so deep, so heavy.
"Now that Ning Ning knows my life experience, will she dislike me?" Gu Zhiyin clasped her chin, stared into her eyes and asked in a hoarse voice.
His birth was not as noble as the outside world rumored. He was not the bright moon in the sky, not the heir to a wealthy family, and even had a very low status. He was repeatedly ridiculed by the Gu family for being the son of a prostitute.
Mu Ning shook his head, "Uncle Gu, you are you, the person I like and admire, not the person in charge of the Gu family. I have never treated you as a member of the Gu family."
"Qing Mimi, let me tell you, I used to wish you could sever ties with the Gu family, so that you would always have to come back to find irritation during the holidays."
After Mu Ning saw him staring at her without speaking, she immediately made up for it, "I'm not sowing discord. I think it would be better for you to go solo. Being tied down by the Gu family is a waste of your good skills. It feels aggrieved, and I feel like I’m working for nothing, but I’m not even welcome to see you.”
Gu Zhiyin stared at her with his dark eyes. He looked at her quietly for a long time, and suddenly there was a slight smile on his lips.
He lifted her chin and kissed her lips.
The rain stopped, but heavy fog filled the mountains.
Fortunately, there was no thunder in this rain, otherwise Mu Ning would have been frightened.
Gu Zhiyin picked her up, lowered his head, and rubbed her little nose, "Take Ningning back."
Mu Ning allowed him to carry her off, and then got into the car.
"Quickly wipe it off, you're all wet." Mu Ning got him a dry towel from the secret room.
The rain on the trees and the moisture in the air made him very wet.
"It's okay. Turn on the heating and change it when you get back."
The heater in the car quickly dried the clothes.
But Mu Ning didn't expect that when they returned to the old house, she would be greeted by a disaster...
