Chapter 348 The Truth
"Mom, let's calm down first. We can't tell what's going on yet."
Gu Yu looked at An Jie, whose brows were furrowed and face was ashen, and comforted him softly.
"Xiao Yu, you don't need to explain to him. You know, he was married in his hometown, and it's normal for him to have a child.
I never thought that one day I would become someone else's stepmother!" Anjie said, tears almost falling from her eyes.
Yafei, who was sitting next to Anjie, felt distressed and angry when she saw her mother like this.
Naturally, I felt sorry for An Jie, and I was angry at Jiang Changyi who suddenly arrived and Jiang Defu, the instigator.
"Mom, calm down first and listen to my analysis. You have been married to Dad for so many years, so you should know him well.
If he had a child in his hometown, would he hide it from you? Would he ignore him for twenty years?" Gu Yu looked at An Jie and asked seriously.
After hearing this, Anjie's anger and grievance faded a lot, and he started to think carefully.
"It's also possible that he doesn't know. Back then, he and Zhang Guilan..." An Jie didn't know what to say, after all, there were two children in front of him.
"Given my father's personality, if he was getting divorced and no longer loved her, would he still go to bed with his ex-wife and have children?" Gu Yu said it directly without caring about the embarrassment.
After hearing this, Anjie was fine, but Yafei was a little embarrassed, but she didn't care about being shy at this time.
"There must be something we don't know. Why did my father get a divorce? He is not the kind of person who would abandon his wife.
He has kept silent for so many years. Could something have happened? He was fighting in the army at that time.”
Seeing An Jie lost in thought, Gu Yu added more explosive stuff.
Hearing this, An Jie suddenly looked up and met Gu Yu's eyes. She understood something of what Gu Yu meant.
"No...it can't be right?"
Anjie looked hesitant, feeling that this bold guess seemed to be just conjecture without any evidence, yet it also seemed to be the fact.
"Brother, what do you mean? What happened that year?" Yafei asked puzzled.
"We don't know much about what happened in our hometown back then, but there is someone who knows a little about it." Gu Yu did not answer Yafei's question, but looked at Anjie and continued.
Just at this moment, Jiang Dehua's loud voice came into Gu Yu's room.
"How could that be? Who is it?"
Jiang Defu, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looked at Jiang Changyi in front of him and had some guesses in his mind.
Hearing Jiang Dehua's voice, I turned my head and looked towards the restaurant. I wanted to call her over,
Jiang Defu stood up and opened his mouth, but before he could shout, he watched Jiang Dehua being taken directly into Gu Yu's room by Wei Min Yaning.
When Jiang Dehua passed by the living room, he glanced at Jiang Changyi, who was curled up and standing there cautiously, and his doubts deepened.
Seeing this, he could only sit down again, looked at Jiang Changyi in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Dehua, tell me the truth, does your brother have a child with that Zhang Guilan?"
Gu Yu sent Yaning and Weimin out. Originally, Yafei should have gone out as well, but she insisted on staying, so he let her do it.
An Jie looked straight into Jiang Dehua's eyes with an intimidating aura. Dehua felt a little nervous and swallowed his saliva.
"Sister-in-law, I really haven't heard that my third brother has a child. After all these years, if there was one, I must have seen it." Dehua was so scared that his accent came out again.
"Why did your brother divorce Zhang Guilan back then?" An Jie asked immediately.
“This…this…” Jiang Dehua actually knew the inside story, but this was a shameful thing, how could such a family shame be made public?
"Aunt, Mom guessed that there might be some unspeakable secrets, but now people have come to our door.
If this matter is not explained clearly, it will be a hidden danger to both Dad and our family.
He has ignored his own son for 20 years, abandoned his wife and children, do you still want to be a good father? Even his work and party spirit may be in jeopardy! "
Gu Yu knew what Jiang Dehua was worried about, and also knew how to stimulate her and make her tell the truth.
"Hey! Sister-in-law, don't blame my brother. It has not been easy for him over the years!"
Dehua felt sorry for his brother and his eyes became moist. He told Anjie and Gu Yu about the ugly incident that happened that year.
It turned out that after the war, Jiang Defu happily returned home to visit his family, but he accidentally discovered the affair between his wife Zhang Guilan and his mute second brother.
The two knelt on the ground and begged him for forgiveness. For the sake of his family's reputation, Jiang Defu divorced Zhang Guilan and made them happy.
The second brother felt very guilty and sorry for Jiang Defu, so he left his hometown and went to Tangshan to dig coal. Later he died in an accident.
As far as Jiang Dehua knew, after Jiang's second brother died, Zhang Guilan took Jiang Changyi and married a man from the village.
In Gu Yu's room, Jiang Dehua fell silent for a moment after he finished talking about what happened twenty years ago.
Jiang Dehua kept sighing, and An Jie completely calmed down. She began to feel sorry for her husband Jiang Defu, and became more proud of this man's character.
She even wondered whether she should take responsibility for the matter for Jiang Defu.
"Mom, we have roughly understood the situation. Jiang Changyi is not my son at all. He came here to pretend to be my son. His intentions are not pure.
We cannot acknowledge him. We must explain this to him clearly. We cannot allow Dad’s reputation to be wrongly accused again.”
Gu Yu knew that although An Jie looked strong, he was actually soft-hearted. However, it would be better to solve this problem once and for all than to suffer a long pain.
"Xiao Yu is right, Ya Fei, go call your dad over."
An Jie's eyes gradually became determined. She decided to talk it out with Jiang Defu and solve the problem together with him without leaving any hidden dangers.
When Jiang Defu entered the room, he first glanced at An Jie's face, then saw Jiang Dehua's evasive look.
I sighed inwardly. I had kept it a secret for twenty years, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't keep it a secret.
"Dad, talk to Mom, let's go out first. You are the victim in this matter.
We are a family, we only feel bad for you, this matter should have an end."
Gu Yu asked Yafei to take Jiang Dehua out first, then he walked to Jiang Defu and said sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Defu nodded slightly, patted Gu Yu's shoulder, and said nothing.
The room was handed over to Jiang Defu and An Jie, while Gu Yu gathered the children together.
"The matter is clear now. The man in the living room is called Jiang Changyi. He is not our father's child, but he is related to you by blood.
We don’t care whether he knows the truth or not, he must have a purpose for coming this time, just like his relatives before.
We should also treat him like a relative, and my parents will make it clear to him.
Don't be too enthusiastic or cold, don't hit or scold him, he is just a passer-by, he will leave in two days. "
Gu Yu looked around at Wei Guo, Wei Dong, Ya Fei, Wei Min and Yaning and said calmly.
Over the years, all the children in the family, both young and old, have been very convinced of Gu Yu, and they nodded in agreement when they heard him say that.
After knowing that the man in the living room was not Jiang Defu's biological son, the children all breathed a sigh of relief, but as for the others, it didn't matter anymore.
