Gu Shutong was speechless for a long time after listening to Gu Jianguo's story. This was the first time she learned about her mother's past from her father's mouth.

But she was also curious about where her mother's family was. "My mother was an orphan since she was a child. Didn't she try to find her family?"

Gu Jianguo sighed, "I once accompanied Susu to the place where the old couple picked her up, and I also asked people around, but unfortunately I found nothing. Susu seemed to appear in that place out of thin air, plus She was still an infant and had no memory of her family, so she gave up."

"but..."

Gu Jianguo suddenly remembered something. He took out a broken jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Gu Shutong's hand.

"This is the jade pendant that was with your mother back then. She always cherished it because she wanted to find her family. Later, after she passed away, I kept the jade pendant. I have always worn it for so many years."

Gu Shutong took the jade pendant from Gu Jianguo's hand. This was the first time in so many years that she knew that her mother had left a jade pendant behind.

The jade pendant is half missing, in the shape of a fish, and its surface is covered with various cracks. Perhaps because of its age, it has lost its former luster and looks dull.

When Gu Shutong held this jade pendant in her hand, it felt like her mother was beside her. This feeling was magical.

"This jade pendant has been with me for many years, and I have been looking for Susu's family's whereabouts. Unfortunately, after half a lifetime, there is still no harvest. You must know that this was your mother's biggest wish back then. Now I hand over this jade pendant. Here it is, I’ll let you take over.”

Gu Shutong held the jade pendant and nodded solemnly: "Dad, don't worry, I will help mom fulfill her wish."

This matter has been buried in Gu Jianguo's heart for more than 20 years. Today, he finally said it and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But after he finished speaking, it seemed as if all his strength had been drained away from him, and he was a little tired. He was still holding on to his strength and said:

"Shu Tong, love is sincere and priceless. You must not start to cherish it when you lose it. What Yun Ting did was indeed wrong, but he also had his own difficulties. Maybe even he didn't expect that you would be with him. Miss Gong became a good friend."

"Dad, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I haven't bravely crossed the psychological barrier yet. I want to go find Siwen in person..."

Early the next morning, Gu Shutong drove to Gong's Manor. Speaking of which, she came here alone. In the past, Gong Siwen accompanied her.

Standing at the door of the Gong family manor, Gu Shutong hesitated, seemingly lacking the courage to press the doorbell.

At this moment, the door of the Gong family slowly opened, and Li Xunwen went out in her exclusive luxury car. By chance, she saw Gu Shutong standing outside the door, "Shu Tong? Why are you here?"

"Aunt Li, I, I'm here to see Siwen." Gu Shutong was surprised. She didn't expect to meet Li Xunwen here.

"Are you looking for Siwen? Then just go in and look for her. She hasn't thought about food or food these past few days. She has lost a lot of weight. Maybe she will get better when she sees you coming."

Li Xunwen only knew that Gong Siwen was depressed because of Jiang Yunting's incident, but he did not know that this incident was also related to Gu Shutong.

As a mother, seeing her daughter feel so uncomfortable actually made Li Xunwen feel uncomfortable inside. She also tried to enlighten Gong Siwen, and even asked her to chat with Shutong, or she would be like before, and her mood would soon change. It's getting better.

But Gong Siwen kept shaking his head and refused to go to Gu Shutong. Although Li Xunwen felt strange, she didn't think much about it.

Gu Shutong glanced at the room where Gong Siwen was, then summoned up the courage to ask, "Aunt Li, I want to talk to you. Do you have time?"

"Do you want to talk to me about something? No problem, I'm free now. You can get in the car." Li Xunwen nodded.

Half an hour later, in a warm and secluded coffee shop, Gu Shutong and Li Xunwen sat opposite each other. When Li Xunwen listened to Gu Shutong's story, even she felt incredible.

Finally, he shook his head and sighed, "This matter is too dramatic. I never thought that Jiang Yunting would hide his identity and get married in secret, let alone that his partner would be you. No wonder when I mentioned you in front of Siwen, she There’s something wrong with his face, it turns out the problem is here.”

Gu Shutong's face was full of shame, "Aunt Liu, before this, I didn't know that Yun Ting was the president of the Jiang family. If I had known earlier, maybe I wouldn't have received the certificate with him."

If Gu Shutong knew Jiang Yunting's true identity at that time, she would definitely not have anything to do with him.

In the past few days, she was also thinking that if she and Jiang Yunting simply fulfilled their previous agreement and separated automatically after a year, maybe she wouldn't have to feel so uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

"Shu Tong, this matter has nothing to do with you. It can only be too dramatic." Li Xunwen is relatively rational. She does not think that Jiang Yunting dislikes Gong Siwen because of Gu Shutong's existence.

After all, before this, Jiang Yunting also had no interest in Gong Siwen, and she and Gong Yushan had long since given up hope that Gong Siwen would win Jiang Yunting's heart.

Otherwise, they would not have known that Gong Siwen went to see Jiang Yunting that night, but still did not dissuade her.

The current problem is that Gu Shutong and Gong Siwen are good friends. Once the knot between them is not resolved, this matter will be a thorn in their hearts.

It will always be thorn in my heart.

Gong Siwen might be inexplicably angry at Gu Shutong and never meet her.

Gu Shutong would feel ashamed of Gong Siwen and never dared to contact Jiang Yunting.

"Shu Tong, you are a good boy. Auntie can see that this matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to take it too seriously. As for Siwen, I don't know how she treats this matter yet. Things, please don’t take the initiative to contact her for the time being. I will find an opportunity to tell her your thoughts another day, and maybe she will take the initiative to contact you."

After Li Xunwen thought about it, he said slowly.

Gu Shutong was Gong Siwen's first good friend, and Li Xunwen didn't want to ruin their relationship because of this incident. From the bottom of his heart, he also wanted the two of them to be fine.

"Aunt Li, thank you for this." Gu Shutong thanked her sincerely.

Li Xunwen smiled and shook his head, "Shutong, you are Siwen's best friend, and I don't want to see you hurt your harmony over this kind of thing. Okay, it's getting late, and I have to go back. I believe Siwen will be here soon." I will take the initiative to contact you and welcome you to my home again."

"I will."
