Chapter 86

ward again. His eyes were filled with self-blame and heartache as he murmured softly: "Kexin, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It's because I didn't protect you well, it's all my fault..."Hearing Gu Chi...Today, at such a grand banquet, someone suddenly played those photos. Regardless of whether the other party's intention was to humiliate the Gu family or Su Kexin, it was unbearable.

"Left the housekeeper nodded, "Found out, it's Master Sun's fiancee, Miss Lin Xiaoru."

Hearing this answer, Old Master Gu was not at all surprised. He just sneered, "As expected, I knew this girl wasn't a good person."

Left Butler said expressionlessly, "It might be because of Miss Su and Young Master Sun's university affairs."

Mr. Gu nodded and sighed, “It’s a tragedy that my nephew and I both love the same woman. Our Gu family has brought misfortune upon itself by having such an affair.”

"However, Miss Su is the only one who can move the Second Young Master's heart right now, so no matter what, Grandfather will support you." Left Butler was Master Gu's confidant and obviously understood his thoughts.

"Not bad." Old Master Gu rubbed his temples wearily, "As for that girl surnamed Lin, you tell Ah Han about this."

"Wouldn't you prefer to handle this yourself, Master"

"Hmph, a wild girl, worthy of me taking care of her personally" Old Master Gu sneered. "If Ah Han can't even manage his own woman, he doesn't deserve to be a child of the Gu family!"

"Yes, I understand," said Left Steward as he took his leave and left the study immediately.

Mr. Gu walked to the bedside and, looking out at the moon, suddenly recalled the smile on Gu Chi's face when he had danced with Su Ke Xin in the dance floor earlier. His wrinkled face softened unexpectedly.

How many years has it been... how many years since I last saw Xiaochí smile like this.

It seems that heaven has eyes after all, finally letting Xiao Chi meet a woman who can make him smile like this again.

Now, he just hopes that the two of them can bear fruit sooner.

While Old Master Gu was worrying downstairs, the atmosphere in the room upstairs had slowly cooled from its initial intensity.

Gu Chi sat in a chair, propping his head up with his hand, closing his eyes to rest.

Although it was already late at night, Su Ke Xin couldn't fall asleep. After a long silence, she cautiously spoke: "Gu Chi, I can't sleep. Can we talk"

Gu Chi didn't open his eyes, he just faintly said, "What are you saying"

"That..." Su Ke Xin thought for a moment, then spoke, "Why would your grandfather...know that the two of us haven't..."

"It was Wang Ma and Zhang Shu who told him," Gu Chi said briefly. "They are both relatives of my grandfather, claiming to be sent by him to look after me, but in reality, they're keeping an eye on me."

Su Ke Xin only then understood why Gu Chi always wanted to keep Wang Ma and the others away, it was because of this.

Mr. Gu stared at Gu Chi, it was certainly out of concern, but no one likes to be watched, especially since Gu Chi had been concealing his leg condition.

"Speaking of which..." Su Keixin hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Why don't you tell your grandfather that you're not actually disabled I think he cares about you very much."

Gu Zhi only then opened his eyes, "He is very concerned about me. But after all, he is getting old, and he wants to enjoy family happiness well, so sometimes his judgment might be off."

Su Keqin listened to the clouds and mists, "What judgment"

"About judging family members," Gu Chi said. "For example, he always feels that I and Gu Xiao should get along well, so if he knew about my legs, he might unintentionally reveal it to Gu Xiao."

Su Keqin was taken aback, and then she understood.

Gu Chi hid his injured legs, actually to hide it from Gu Xiao.

The entanglements between wealthy families were too complicated. Su Kexin felt a headache coming on and simply closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep.

In a daze, she seemed to vaguely see Gu Chi sitting by the desk, taking out something to look at.

Under the light, she saw a faint glow emanating from Gu Chi's hand, like a crystal pendant.

Is that the same pendant from last time

Between bouts of blurred consciousness, Su Ke Xin felt an inexplicable unease in her heart.

Lost in thought, Su Ke Xin drifted into slumber.

……f. He slowly pulled open the drawer of the bookcase and took out a small box from inside. Then, he carefully opened the lid with his long fingers. 。The box was filled with ashes, bits and pieces of me...
