The black-bellied president can't be offended

When Xiang Yuming ordered the housekeeper to prepare hot water and went back to get the hot water.

Gu Anwan supported the old man and continued to walk forward.

It's summer night now, and the moonlight is like flowing water, pouring down on the ground, and falling on the two of them at the same time.

Neither of them spoke. In the silent night, only the chirping of the cicadas in the grass and Liang Pan rang out.

Until the old man spoke to break the silence.

"Wanwan, in fact, grandpa has always been very grateful to you."

Gu Anwan was a little surprised by the first sentence the old man said.

Grandpa has always been someone she respects very much besides taking care of her father and mother.

Moreover, Grandpa has always taken great care of her. He supported her when she was wronged, and always cheered for her when she was not believed.

Why would you be grateful to her?If there is a need to be grateful, it should be that she has a strong sense of gratitude to her grandfather.

"Grandpa, how could it be? I should also be grateful to you."

Gu Anwan was greedy for the old man, turned to look at him, and asked her doubts.

"Actually, I've always known that Yuming grew up fighting for power and profit. There is something missing in the love for each other, so I actually have selfish intentions in letting you marry Yuming."

The old man saw a gazebo not far away, stopped and turned to look at Gu Anwan.

He patted her hand supporting him, fixed his gaze on the gazebo, and signaled to her that they could take a rest in the gazebo.

Gu Anwan also stopped, followed his gaze to look at the pavilion, and instantly understood what the old man meant.

So, the two walked towards the pavilion not far away.

"Not only because I appreciate you, but I also hope that you can complement each other. I hope that you can use your kindness, tolerance and influence to teach Yuming to learn how to love others. There is another reason." On the way, the old man continued.

In fact, Gu Anwan had guessed what the old man said a long time ago. If she was really allowed to marry Xiang Yuming just because he admired her, it wouldn't be something the old man would do.

Although the old man usually dislikes Xiang Yuming in every possible way, he is his own grandson after all.

Amidst the disgust, Gu Anwan could clearly see the pride buried in the old man's eyes.

But there was another reason that the old man said, Gu Anwan couldn't guess it, and she didn't ask.

Because she knows that if the old man wants to tell her, he will take the initiative to tell her
"But after I arranged for you to marry Yuming, I regretted seeing your situation."

Gu Anwan immediately understood what the old man meant, and recalled the initial mutual torture between her and Xiang Yuming.

No matter what others think of their journey, anyway, the two of them don't want to do it again, both physically and emotionally.

And it's not easy for them to achieve true results along the way.

"I always wonder if this is unfair to you, if I push you from one fire pit to another fire pit."

"How could it be, grandpa, without your help, Yuming and I wouldn't be able to get to where we are today"

For the matchmaking of the old man, Gu Anwan has always been grateful.

Because if the old man didn't intervene between the two of them, maybe she and Xiang Yuming would never have met in this life.

But she suddenly realized that the old man might have meant something, and pushed him from another fire pit to another fire pit?
If the relationship with Xiang Yuming was another pit of fire.

That - the Gu family, is the first pit of fire that the old man said.

This explanation shocked Gu Anwan's heart.

Gu's father is the one who adopted her, and Gu's family is the place where she grew up, so it can't be regarded as a pit of fire.

What's more, even if the Gu family went bankrupt later, he had no choice but to marry the Xiang family. After the marriage, she never felt that the Gu family was a pit of fire when faced with all kinds of entanglements and insults from Gu's mother.

The old man probably wouldn't know about these things, obviously the fire pit that the old man was talking about didn't refer to this.

"Grandpa, what fire pit are you referring to?"

Unable to figure it out, Gu Anwan simply asked

The old man didn't answer her question directly, he glanced at her and comforted her shocking heart with his eyes, but spoke on his own.

It was this look that calmed Gu Anwan down a bit.
"Old man, in my whole life, although there are countless scenery, I have done many wrong things at the same time, but I have never regretted it. It's just that there is one thing that has been buried in my heart for a long time, and I can't breathe."

Gu Anwan listened quietly from the side, because she knew that she didn't need to speak at this time.

At the same time, she carefully observed this old man whom she admired.

Only then did she realize that the old man who had always been majestic, upright, and vigorous in her heart was showing a bit of oldness at this moment.

At the same time, there is also a kind of loneliness overflowing from the bottom of my heart.

It was this trace of oldness and loneliness that made her realize that the old man is indeed no longer young, no matter how energetic he is usually, it is difficult to compare with him when he was young.

And he didn't say it, because he didn't want to trouble them to come back frequently, and he didn't want to delay their own affairs.

It doesn't mean that they don't want these juniors to come back to see him often and come back to accompany him.

Gu Anwan suddenly felt a sore nose, and held the old man tighter.

"Because I was so ambitious and determined to go my own way, I indirectly hurt a family and caused their family to be ruined."

"..."

"He was originally a partner of mine in business. Back then, because I was misled and angry, I insisted on going my own way and kept being dissuaded by others, so that a good family became like that."

There was a bit of pain in the old man's voice, and he even bent his back, which was straight at first.

Although Gu Anwan didn't know why the old man said this to her, she intuitively felt that it should have something to do with herself.

Before associating what the old man said, she felt that she had been stagnant in her heart, and the things she had been concerned about seemed to be surfacing.

And at the moment of speaking, the gazebo was almost in front of him.

Gu Anwan helped the old man into the gazebo, helped him to sit on one side, and then sat down on the other side.

"Wan Wan, are you tired? If you're tired, sit here and rest first, and wait for Xiang Yuming by the way."

The old man looked at Gu Anwan kindly and said.

A gust of cool wind blew over, bending the weeds on both sides of the road, and blowing the old man's clothes and the hair on Gu Anwan's shoulders.

The cicadas are still singing, the moonlight is shining on the bluestone road not far away, and even the gazebo looks gentle under the moonlight.

Gu Anwan originally thought that the old man had something to do with her and wanted to tell her something.

After sitting down, he waited for the old man to continue to speak, but he didn't expect that the old man didn't speak after sitting down.

Although she was curious, she couldn't rush the old man, so she could only sit quietly beside him, waiting for Xiang Yuming, and enjoying the boundless and beautiful moonlight by the way.

And in this silent moment, before falling asleep, her thoughts recalled her parents.

At this moment of silence, Xiang Yuming came back.

Holding two bottles of hot water in his hand, he walked into the gazebo.

Put one bottle by the old man's hand, and sat next to Gu Anwan with the other bottle.

Ask her: "Do you want to drink it now? It has been mixed with cold boiled water, and the temperature should be just right now."

"Drink."

I just walked for so long and talked again, and now I feel thirsty in my throat.

Xiang Yuming opened the bottle, leaned closer to Gu Anwan, passed the water to her mouth, and asked her to drink just like this with his own hand.

Gu Anwan watched him come over with water, knew what he meant, and remembered that grandpa was sitting opposite.

I felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but it was still his hand.

She took a few sips of water with both hands holding the hand he approached, and covered the blush on her face with the help of the moonlight.

And the old man on the side seemed to be happy to eat dog food for his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, looking at the two with a smile on his face.

After drinking the water, Xiang Yuming took out what he had prepared and wiped Gu Anwan's mouth.

Then he put the water on the table, and when he turned his head, he saw the old man staring straight at the two of them, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

Xiang Yuming coughed twice to clear his throat and asked, "Grandpa, why don't you drink water?"

"Oh... oh! I'm not thirsty right now."

The old man, who was so fascinated by watching, was suddenly questioned, and he didn't react a bit, so he was stunned for a moment.

But the old man also seemed to realize that he was too straightforward, causing the young couple to feel a little embarrassed, so he averted his gaze so that the two could interact better.

Seeing the old man's reaction, Gu Anwan couldn't help but laugh, and the old man returned to his true colors soon after.

Xiang Yuming saw that the time and place were just right, and his grandfather happened to be there, so he thought that he might as well use this opportunity to tell Gu Anwan the truth.

He looked at Gu Anwan, who was smiling gently, his eyes darkened, and he hesitated.

If she knew the truth, plus the matter of the Gu family, she would definitely be sad for a long time according to her temperament.

He wanted to leave this smile for her temporarily.

But after Xiang Yuming thought about it, he thought it was better to solve this matter as soon as possible.

To avoid anyone who will use this matter to act as a demon between the two of them.

In addition, Gu Anwan has always been very concerned about this matter, and this matter has almost become a knot between the two of them.

Although she didn't say it, it didn't mean he couldn't see it.

Therefore, Xiang Yuming decided to resolve this matter as soon as possible to avoid complications.

Looking at the old man opposite, Xiang Yuming took Gu Anwan's hand beside him and put it on his lap, interlocking his fingers with her.

"Wanwan, I have something to tell you."

Xiang Yuming didn't know why he was a little nervous, even holding Gu Anwan's hand tightly.

As if feeling Xiang Yuming's emotions, Gu Anwan turned her head to him with a gentle smile and said:

"Well, you said."

"It's just... haven't you been concerned about your parents' affairs? I've been looking into this matter for you, and I finally found the truth recently. "

"..."

Although she guessed that it might have something to do with her parents, when she actually heard it, Gu Anwan was still a little nervous.

"Actually... your surname should be Mu. Your parents cooperated with Gu's and Xiang's more than ten years ago."

"..."

"Later, President Gu, who is also your adoptive father, cut corners behind your father's back in terms of supply sources, and was discovered by Xiang."

"..."

"So, Mrs. Gu blamed all the crimes on your father."

Gu Anwan was suddenly out of breath, and when the truth she always wanted to know was presented in front of her, she didn't know how to react.

Especially when he heard that it was his adoptive father who killed his biological parents and ruined his family.

She couldn't believe her ears.

Before she knew it, Gu Anwan had already burst into tears, and under the cool evening wind, her figure was blown thin and thin.

Seeing her like this, Xiang Yuming's heart ached to death.

He took Gu Anwan into his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and patted her back gently, comforting her silently.

Gu Anwan leaned directly into Xiang Yuming's arms and wept uncontrollably. When she didn't know the truth, she searched hard; when she knew the truth, she couldn't believe it.

If this is the case, then hasn't she been admitting the thief as her father for the past few years!

Thinking of Gu Yicheng in the prison and Gu's mother in the hospital, she simply didn't know how to face them.

The old man sitting opposite saw his granddaughter-in-law crying so sadly, thinking of the ups and downs she had experienced in these years.

His eyes were red, and he secretly wiped away two tears.

In Xiang Yuming's arms, Gu Anwan cried for an unknown amount of time, and she didn't stop until she was tired from crying.

"Then...then why did they adopt me?"

Gu Anwan lay in Xiang Yuming's arms and sobbed and asked in a nasal voice.

"I think they might feel guilty."

Xiang Yuming gently stroked Gu Anwan's hair with his face, and continued to pat her on the back.

"Then...they...I..."

Gu Anwan's mind is in a mess right now, she doesn't know what to think or what to think.

I can't express exactly what I want to express.

Seeing her like this, Xiang Yuming just sighed and wiped her tears with his back-patting hand.

Seeing her like this made his heart melt.

"Good night, don't think too much tonight, okay?"

"..."

"You just need to know that I am always behind you to support you and accompany you to face everything." Xiang Yuming said to Gu Anwan gently.

Only he himself knows that this is not just a simple comfort, but a promise to them in the future.

"Wan Wan, what Yu Ming said is right, don't think too much tonight, take a good rest after you go back, and when you wake up tomorrow, Yu Ming will accompany you." The old man sitting beside him also comforted Gu Anwan.

"Actually, I was also at fault for this matter. If it wasn't because of my insistence, your parents would not have been like this."

As he talked, the old man began to regret again. If it wasn't because of himself, what happened back then would not have happened.

"Grandpa doesn't blame you. I can still tell the cause and effect of the matter."

Hearing the old man's words, Gu Anwan probably guessed another reason that the old man said before thinking about what you said to himself before.

What I said before was just to hope that she would be prepared.

"It would be nice not to have any grudges against grandpa in Wanwan."

Hearing Gu Anwan's answer, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want the family to be disharmony because of the mistakes he made when he was young.

In his opinion, this is already the best ending.

As for Gu Anwan's words of persuasion and others' explanations, he listened to them but didn't take them to heart.

Because he knew that this matter had been buried in his heart for so long, and he had regretted it for so long, and it was impossible to let it go.
