"No, no, that's not what I meant!"
Li Yan immediately stood up from her chair and hurriedly explained, afraid that Gu Tingyan would misunderstand her again, just like his younger brother.
"I just think he looks somewhat like him, and the most similar one seems to be his friend. I wonder if you've met him?"
Gu Tingyan breathed a sigh of relief; he had just thought Li Yan was going to find him a stepfather.
He searched his memory for a moment and then said, "No, not that."
After a pause, Gu Tingyan once again warned Li Yan, "Mom, if you don't believe me, when you come back, I'll take you to see Dad's ashes. Even if he looks a lot like Dad, he's not my dad."
Upon hearing this, Li Yan's expression immediately fell, and her voice became muffled.
"I see."
Whenever the topic of her father came up, Li Yan always lost her enthusiasm.
Left with no other option, Gu Tingyan could only change the subject: "Mom, when are you going back to the old house?"
He had held back from asking for many days.
While waiting for Li Yan's reply, Gu Tingyan's heart was in his throat, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on his phone.
Li Yan thought for a moment, realizing that her injuries hadn't fully healed yet, and could only say, "In a few days."
Finally receiving news that his mother was coming back, Gu Tingyan's tense nerves relaxed, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
now.
Gu Tingyan remembered that Li Yan had voluntarily gone with Gu Tingyu before, and his younger brother had proudly shown off photos of him and Li Yan.
I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart, like being pricked by a needle.
"Mom, I'm coming to find you right now."
Unable to suppress his desire to see his mother, Gu Tingyan hung up the phone, quickly put on some clothes, and drove his car to Gu Tingyu's house.
Having finally gotten Li Yan to agree, and fearing she might change her mind, Gu Tingyan decided to act first and inform her later.
When he arrived at Gu Tingyu's house, it was already past ten o'clock.
The doorbell rang.
Li Yan looked at the nanny: "Auntie, go and see who's here."
The nanny nodded, put down what she was holding, walked to the door, and peeked through the peephole.
She met Gu Tingyan's dark eyes and was startled.
The nanny quickly turned to look at Li Yan: "Miss Li Yan, it's not Mr. Gu."
Standing outside the door, Gu Tingyan heard the nanny's voice, frowned slightly, and knocked on the door, saying, "Li Yan, it's me, Gu Tingyan."
Li Yan hadn't expected Gu Tingyan to arrive at this time, so she quickly said, "Auntie, please open the door for him."
With permission granted, the nanny let Gu Tingyan in.
Gu Tingyan bypassed the nanny and rushed to Li Yan's side, his voice excited: "Li Yan, I've come to pick you up!"
The nanny, seeing that the two knew each other, told Li Yan and then went home.
"Miss Li Yan, I'll be going now."
Li Yan smiled and replied, "I understand, Auntie."
Gu Tingyan stood in front of Li Yan and then realized that the exposed skin was covered with gauze.
His temple throbbed, and his anger surged: "Mom, Gu Tingyu actually abused you?!"
The sound of Gu Tingyu stammering and lying to him flashed through his mind, as did Li Yan's attempt to cover for him.
Enraged, Gu Tingyan's face turned so black it seemed like ink could drip from it. He immediately wanted to confront Gu Tingyu and withdraw his endorsement.
He clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his hands bulging: "If I don't beat Gu Tingyu to a pulp, I'm not a Gu!"
