Hidden talents and rising stars in the nanny industry

Chapter 222 Because You Are Gu Lao's Only Bloodline

Gu family.

Mrs. Fu finally got to meet Mr. Gu.

When her gaze fell upon Gu Xiaoshi's face, all her doubts were instantly answered.

"So alike, so incredibly alike, Gu Xiaoxiao, why do you always haunt me..."

Mrs. Fu murmured to herself, her voice filled with undisguised shock. She had considered many possibilities, but she never expected this outcome.

Gu Xiaoshi cut to the chase, "What do you know?"

Mrs. Fu already knew the answer in her heart, but still clinging to a sliver of hope, she asked unwillingly, "Your father is...?"

Gu Xiaoshi remained calm, as if he were referring to a complete stranger.

"Didn't you already guess? Who else could it be but Fu Cheng? You've insisted on seeing me time and time again just to ask me this?"

If Zhang Xinru were here, she would definitely add silently, "She's practically begging to be your stepmother!"

Mrs. Fu chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I should have known. I never expected you to still be alive. You're actually still alive! If Fu Cheng knew that his child with Gu Xiaoxiao was still alive and well, he probably wouldn't have died so young, hahahahaha..."

Gu Xiaoshi frowned as he looked at the crazy woman in front of him, who was both crying and laughing. His face showed a mixture of impatience and confusion.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Mrs. Fu raised her hand and gently wiped the corner of her moist eyes, her voice sharp.

"Gu Xiaoxiao, that illegitimate daughter, not only stole someone else's husband, but also shamelessly gave birth to an illegitimate child just as worthless as her! You ask me what I want to say, I also want to ask you what you want to do!"

Gu Xiaoshi found the other party's words utterly absurd and retorted, "You're talking nonsense! My grandfather told me that his daughter was clearly lost by the servants when she was young, and she was not an illegitimate child at all."

"As for me, blame Fu Cheng for being irresponsible! Since he followed his family's arrangements and chose to marry you, who is of equal social standing, he shouldn't have gone back to his old flame, let alone tried to destroy her, not even sparing the child in her womb. It's a pity I'm still alive, disappointing you all."

Mrs. Fu felt as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahahaha... That old geezer actually said that, hahahahaha... It's hilarious! Is he talking about Fu Cheng or himself?!"

(If you've forgotten what Grandpa Gu said, you can go back to chapter 122 to review it.)

Gu Xiaoshi's heart tightened: "What are you laughing at?"

After Mrs. Fu finished laughing, she finally revealed the truth that Mr. Gu had been hiding all along.

It turns out that what Old Master Gu was talking about were all his own romantic escapades in his youth, and had nothing to do with Fu Cheng.

He not only deceived Gu Xiaoxiao's mother, but also indulged his wife, who persecuted Gu Xiaoxiao and her daughter in every way, almost to the point of extermination.

The Gu and Fu families did indeed have a marriage agreement in their early years, and coincidentally, both families had sons.

Although Gu Xiaoxiao is a girl, she is an illegitimate child who cannot be exposed to the public eye.

Madam Gu has always been proud and arrogant, and would never tolerate outside women and their children climbing over her head.

To prevent the emergence of any more illegitimate children, they secretly administered a drug to Old Master Gu that would prevent him from having children, all to eliminate any future troubles.

"That idiot, he didn't do anything clean or efficient at all. I can't believe he actually let Gu Xiaoxiao live! If Gu Xiaoxiao had died back then, none of this would have happened."

Gu Xiaoshi looked incredulous. "Impossible. You're lying. If Grandpa didn't acknowledge my birth mother, why would he come looking for me? Besides, I've never heard of Grandpa having a son."

Mrs. Fu stated a heartbreaking truth: "Because you are Mr. Gu's only bloodline, he had no other choice."

"As for the child that Old Madam Gu gave birth to, it's not Old Madam Gu's child at all. After being cuckolded for so many years, do you think Old Madam Gu would still keep them? There aren't many people who know about this."

Gu Xiaoshi: "What about Fu Cheng? Do you dare say he was completely innocent from beginning to end?"

Mrs. Fu recalled old stories.

“Before Fu Cheng met Gu Xiaoxiao, I was already Fu Cheng’s fiancée. Although it was an arranged marriage between families, Fu Cheng did not refuse the marriage. At the engagement banquet, he said that I was his Mrs. Fu. I always thought that he loved me, until Gu Xiaoxiao appeared, and everything changed…”

“Fu Cheng is willing to break ties with his family to break off our engagement. I’m not willing to accept this. Why should she, Gu Xiaoxiao, steal my fiancé as soon as she arrives? She can’t have it.”

In order to avoid breaking off the engagement, she had to get pregnant with Fu Cheng's child, no matter the cost.

“Fu Cheng truly loves Gu Xiaoxiao! For her, he gave up his status as the heir without hesitation. He didn’t want anything, not even me and the baby in my belly. How could he be so heartless…”

"Unexpectedly, something happened to the Gu family later, which brought a new turning point..."

Madam Gu's affair was exposed, and it was also discovered that the child she gave birth to was not her biological child.

Using the pretext that his wife had harmed his children, Old Master Gu prepared to divorce her and launched a large-scale investigation into how Gu Xiaoxiao and her mother were murdered, only to discover that Gu Xiaoxiao was still alive.

Madam Gu knew in her heart that Old Master Gu would never have any more children, and her child had called Old Master Gu "Dad" for so many years. She was sure that when Old Master Gu found out that he was no longer able to have children, he would definitely take them back. So she decided to get rid of Gu Xiaoxiao without hesitation.

Grandpa Gu was unaware that he had been drugged. He felt he was still young and had plenty of women to bear his children, so he was indifferent to the existence of Gu Xiaoxiao and her daughter. It wasn't until he learned about his physical condition that he remembered he had an illegitimate daughter.

Gu Xiaoshi finally learned the so-called truth. He never expected that he had hated the wrong person. Just as he was feeling lost and confused, the tightly closed door was pushed open with a "bang".

The people inside the room instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fu Xiaochen standing tall and straight at the door, his expression unreadable on his cold and stern face.

What he had never understood all these years, now has an explanation, with the truth laid bare before him.

No wonder his mother always avoided the character "Xiao" at all costs, and even changed his name from "Fu Xiaochen" to "Fu Xiaochen" without any explanation.

Then I think about my father and mother. Over the years, they have always maintained a respectful but distant relationship.

His father never showed him the usual intimacy between father and son; he was always distant and aloof. His mother also complained that he didn't know how to please his father, and that he was born to be unappreciated.

Mrs. Fu was surprised to see Fu Xiaochen. "Xiaochen..."

Fu Xiaochen pointed at Gu Xiaoshi and asked, "Is he really my half-brother?"

Having overheard the conversation, Mrs. Fu had nothing to hide and nodded slowly.

Gu Xiaoshi sneered, "Don't try to claim kinship with me. I don't acknowledge him as your brother."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ma and Wang Ma's heads popped out from behind.

Gu Xiaoshi panicked the moment she saw them, and became tense.

"Mom, sister, why...why are you here?"
