Chapter 225 It turns out they are the same
Gu Jichen said without thinking, "I asked Xu Zhi, so I already knew."
Jiang Mo said "Oh".
No wonder when Li Rui went to deliver coffee to the set, the cup he gave her was cappuccino. Gu Jichen must have ordered it.
How should I put it? Putting aside subjective factors, Gu Jichen is a very careful person.
If you get along with him without prejudice and without any hassle, you should be quite comfortable. He should be a person who is very considerate of other people's feelings.
Jiang Mo slowly drank half a cup of coffee, and the first ray of sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which were bright and clear.
She turned her head and looked towards the sun. Her long eyelashes were coated with a faint orange light, making them look fluffy and making people want to reach out and touch them.
Her eyes are very beautiful, bright and pure, but very empty, with an empty loneliness.
Even though she was sitting in the sunshine, she looked extremely lonely.
Her appearance made Gu Jichen feel sore in his heart, and he wanted to go over and hold her in his arms, but he couldn't.
Although she looks normal now and is willing to talk, her mood is not high at all. Her expression has not changed since Gu Jichen saw her until now.
Like a delicate, emotionless puppet.
After a long time, she suddenly called him: "Gu Jichen."
"Ok?"
"Have you ever been abandoned?"
Gu Jichen fell silent. Before he could answer, she heard her own answer: "Definitely not. People like you have always abandoned others. How could you be abandoned?"
"No." Gu Jichen said, "Yes."
"Huh?" Jiang Mo turned back to look at him, "Have you ever?"
"Well, my father." Gu Jichen said, "He abandoned me twice, technically speaking, three times."
"My mother is my father's fourth wife. He already had three sons before me, and I was the one he didn't expect. His favorite was the eldest son he had with his first wife. He originally When he was with my mother, he made it clear that he would not have children with her because he was afraid of threatening his eldest son. My mother agreed. Although my mother is much younger than him, she still likes him. .”
"But people change. When I agreed, it was just because things didn't happen. When things really happened, my mentality was different from the original. My mother initially believed that life was her own, and she wouldn't have it if she didn't have children. However, when she found out that she was really pregnant, she couldn't let go of the child. My father asked her to abort the child, but she didn't agree and ran away."
"Actually, my mother is...a bit silly and stupid. When she was with my father, she was an inexperienced girl. My father married her because he recognized her innocence and harmlessness. Even though she had a bad temper. Because of her temperament, my father only thought she was cute, until she ran away while pregnant, and my father felt betrayed."
"Later, she finally gave birth to me and was found by my father. My father wanted to kill me. She cried and begged for several days, and made every possible effort to ensure that I would not fight with my elder brother for anything. , my father finally showed mercy and kept me. That was the second time he wanted to abandon me, and the first time he wanted to abort me."
"The third time was four years ago. The conflict between me and my eldest brother has become irreconcilable. I have encountered many accidents, all caused by my eldest brother. Four years ago he killed me, but my father remained Without silence, I knew that if I continued like this, I probably wouldn't live long."
"So you went abroad to develop?"
"Yes, although the Gu family's influence abroad is not small, it is much more relaxed than in Beicheng. Although there are constant dangers, it always gives people a chance to breathe."
He spoke lightly, and those extremely thrilling narrow escapes were brushed off by him, as if they were as trivial as eating and drinking. However, Jiang Mo unconsciously clenched the cup in her hand, and her heart started to lift.
No wonder she saw a lot of scars on Gu Jichen's body, which were all proof of those dangerous situations.
What brought him this was his father, his brother—his family, his close family.
It turns out that he was also the one who was not chosen.
"What about now?" Jiang Mo's tone softened involuntarily, "How is your father's attitude towards you now? I heard that you are the one in charge of the Gu family now, not your eldest brother. Your father...has Not blaming you?"
"I'm sure I will blame him, but his attitude towards me is okay, much better than I thought." Gu Jichen smiled, but it was more self-deprecating, "I also thought about it, I took all my brother's things Grab it, is my father so angry that he wants to kill me, but no, he did nothing else except scold me. Maybe he also knows that I am different from before, and he can no longer do whatever he wants. Then I crushed that young boy to death."
Therefore, it is said that those who understand current affairs are heroes. Since his father knew that his eldest brother was gone, there was no need to offend him so thoroughly that he would not even have a chance to spend his old age in peace.
"The main reason is that he is too old now and can't afford to bother." Gu Jichen said.
Jiang Mo didn't speak, she didn't know what to say in response.
Gu Jichen's experience was completely different from what she had imagined.
She thought that he was the proud son of heaven and that he had everything going smoothly since he was born. Even though she had heard some gossip about the internal struggles of some wealthy families, it had nothing to do with her and was too far away from her.
She thought that when he went abroad, he simply studied and gained experience. Once he had learned enough and had enough ability, he would return home to inherit the family business.
It turns out that everything he has now was achieved through his narrow escape and with real guns and live ammunition.
Behind the brilliance he shows now is unspeakable hardship and flesh and blood.
Jiang Mo couldn't imagine how Gu Jichen spent those three years abroad, but it was definitely more difficult than the years when she was sick.
It turns out that they are all people who tried their best from the darkness to win a glimmer of life.
Turns out they are the same.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mo suddenly felt that Gu Jichen, who was used to looking at someone aloof, seemed not so unattainable anymore.
In the past, I only felt that he was in the clouds, but now I feel that he is right in front of me.
The person who had been suspended fell to the ground.
Jiang Mo pursed her lips slightly and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry for mentioning these not-so-good things."
"It doesn't matter, it's not something shameful, nor is it a secret that cannot be told." Gu Jichen smiled at her, "You are willing to listen to me, it proves that you are willing to understand me, I am very happy, and I am willing to tell you. "
"Then I'm honored."
"Then I wonder if I have the same honor?" Gu Jichen looked at her and spoke softer, "In exchange, are you willing to tell me your secret?"
