Infernal Hero Chapter 14: Father and Son
There is a faint smell of disinfectant in the room. There are several pots of orchids on the window sill. Miao Shifan has a new book of herbal medicine in which a chapter is devoted to orchids. Hard to see the value. It seems that Liang Bida is telling the truth at least about the fact that the cheap dad is very rich.
Gu Tianyou already knew that the man on the sickbed was Gu Yufei, the village director of a famous village in the Wudong area. What he didn't know was that although Gu Yufei was only a village director, he was enjoying department-level treatment.
Because that village is called Wolongtang, it has the reputation of the first village in Wudong Province.
Relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, leaning on the sea to eat the sea. Sixteen years ago, Wolongtang was just a small fishing port village with mountains and seas. At that time, Gu Yufei was still a smuggler who drove a speedboat to his death at sea. Yu Shaofen is one of the many lovers around him. Sixteen years later, Gu Yufei had already rehabilitated and gained both fame and fortune, but fate hit him hard at this time. He had cancer, and he searched all over the world for medical treatment, but he couldn't find any hope until he was terminally ill. It was not until the moment when a person was about to die that he remembered that there was no successor.
In the past few years, he has found many women happily, but except for the three daughters born to his original wife, the other women have not produced any. The doctor said that it was because of the severe cold that damaged his vitality during the escape at sea sixteen years ago.
Not long ago, the old feud Liang Bida suddenly came to the door and told Gu Yufei that he had a sixteen-year-old son living abroad. For this terminally ill, middle-aged rich man with no successor, the allure of this news is too great. Gu Yufeiming knew that the other party would not have any good intentions, but he still couldn't refuse.
That's why this meeting came about.
Gu Tianyou stood quietly in front of the sickbed, while Gu Yufei lay there silently. Father and son, two men, observing each other.
Gu Yufei has seen many scenes in his life where his relatives turn against each other in the face of entangled interests. The process of finding Tianyou was not motivated by his own initiative. If it wasn't for the sake of his successor, he would even have thought about refusing to recognize Gu Tianyou. At this moment, when the biological father and son meet, even though Gu Yufei has a little affection in his heart, he will not show the slightest.
Although I already knew about Tianyou's past, in Gu Yufei's opinion, this meeting was too hasty, even sudden. If he followed his original temperament, he would definitely do his homework before the moment when father and son recognized each other. First of all, he will find a way to understand what has happened to Gu Tianyou in the past fifteen years, no matter how big or small, and then make targeted arrangements and arrangements until the right time comes. recognize each other.
But now, these thoughts can only flash in his mind, and he has no time to wait for that moment to come.
He stared at the young man in front of him. He had the same tall and straight body as he was when he was young, and his face was indeed somewhat similar. The same sword eyebrows and star eyes, high nose bridge, but his cheeks were a little less angular and a little more feminine. delicate. Watching, watching, he suddenly remembered Yu Shaofen back then, the woman who was weak on the outside but crazy on the inside, who once fought his sins for him and almost killed their brother. This young man's face is very similar to Yu Shaofen. Then he thought of the news about this young man he had inquired before, and a trace of disgust appeared in his heart, and he was a little unwilling and angry.
This notorious and uneducated seducer is my only son, Gu Yufei?
In silence, time passed, and the little expectation in Gu Yufei's heart gradually disappeared, leaving only worry and unwillingness.
The first meeting of the biological father and son who had never met was supposed to be a warm and exciting moment, but the atmosphere in the ward at this moment was extraordinarily solemn.
Gu Tianyou's process of finding his roots and recognizing his ancestors didn't have much drama. A cold paternity test proved the father-son relationship between him and the man on the sickbed. But they can't change the distance between them.
The professional skills learned from Miao Shifan told Tianyou that this man was terminally ill. Illness comes from the heart, a middle-aged man whose career is in the stage of spring breeze and horseshoe disease should not have such a disease. Gu Yufei's demeanor contained deep and lingering worries, although he tried his best to hide it, he couldn't escape Gu Tianyou's eyes.
This man who has clearly stood above the rest of the world must be suffering from unknown causes.
Looking at the middle-aged man on the sick bed, who was obviously out of time, Gu Tianyou's thoughts flew in his mind, hesitating whether he wanted to recognize this man? Maybe to outsiders, Tianyou seems to have no choice on this issue. After being an orphan for 16 years, suddenly a middle-aged wealthy businessman claims to be his own father-son relationship. Who is this beautiful thing that falls out of the sky? Can you refuse?
The old immortal often said that when people walk in the rivers and lakes, the beauty of the pie falling from the sky is unbelievable, and the craftsman has to point to the things in his hand to live. The pie in front of me tasted beautiful, but it was poisonous.
If I recognize Gu Yufei, and this cheap old man doesn't have a long life, then the more things he leaves to himself, the more troubles he will bring. Do you have the ability to deal with those troubles? ? Lord Long often said how big his stomach is and how big his meal is. Before making a decision, Gu Tianyou had to weigh his weight first.
Gu Yufei did not speak, waiting for Gu Tianyou to express his position first. Gu Tianyou was still hesitating in his heart. Should he immediately jumped over and cried and called Dad, or should he turn around and leave without saying a word, even if he returns to the juvenile detention center, he must leave this troublesome man far?
Liang Bida arranged for the meeting, but the lied barrister clearly had no good intentions. Although he can't be sure of his purpose, at least he can be sure that he hates the man in front of him to the bone, and at the same time he doesn't hold back any good farts to himself.
Perhaps the current situation is that, whether he admits it or not, this lawyer Liang has achieved his goal.
Gu Yufei's brows furrowed on the hospital bed, and there were complicated emotions hidden in his expression. There was a little expectation, but more helplessness and anger.
Gu Tianyou's reaction greatly exceeded his expectations. He was thinking, is the young man in front of him stupid and completely unaware of what happened? Or is it mentally unstable and has been overwhelmed by the huge surprise and has no idea how to express it?
"Your name is Gu Tianyou?" After a long silence, it was Gu Yufei who broke the silence first.
His illness is getting worse and worse, and every word seems to be a drain.
"Gu is the Gu who is looked after by God, and Tianyou means God's blessing."
Gu Tianyou looked indifferent. The words intentionally showed the meaning of keeping a distance from Gu Yufei.
Gu Yufei is slightly surprised, what does this kid mean by saying that? Does he still want to distance himself from Lao Tzu? This guess immediately aroused his curiosity, and he suddenly became interested, and said intentionally: "After all, I can't write two Gu characters in one stroke, otherwise why don't you call me Yu Tianyou."
"Actually, it's not bad to be called Yu Tianyou." Gu Tianyou paused slightly before continuing: "Maybe with this name, I don't have to face the current problem."
"Problem?" Gu Yufei frowned slightly, this kid seemed to really want to distance himself from him. He was a little surprised, and he couldn't believe the calmness and deep meaning in the words shown by the young man in front of him. From these simple conversations, he seemed to have discovered a new continent, and said with great interest, "Why do you say that?"
Gu Yufei lay there, skinny and withered. Gu Tianyou looked at the man in front of him who gave him life. Thinking that the man who is connected with his own bloodline is exhausted, a touch of pity flashed in his heart, and he said slowly: "Forgive me to be blunt, as far as I can see, you seem to be in trouble, and you can't protect yourself. I doubt that it is with you. I'll be in trouble soon after we meet."
This sentence is very straightforward. After saying that, Gu Yufei was completely stunned. Of course he understood the meaning of Gu Tianyou's words, and he couldn't help thinking to himself, how did this child grow up, how could he have such a stable psychological quality and keen observation at such a young age? What did he see?
Although there is not much left to live, Gu Yufei's hands are tightly clenched into fists, and he stares at Gu Tianyou, with surprise in his heart, but more of a surprise.
"How did you see it?" He suppressed his mood and asked again: "Can you tell me what you saw?"
"When I was there, I learned medicine from people for a few days, and I can probably tell that your condition is not good. This ward is so luxurious, as long as you are not blind, you can tell that you are a big man who is not an official or a businessman. There are several pots of orchid on the windowsill. I know one pot called Heguansuyu. I heard that it is worth more than one million. Liang Bida told me that you are the village director of Wolongtang Village. Although I have little knowledge, I also know the village. What kind of official is the director, hey, if you are really a high-ranking official, it would be better, at least you won't leave too many property disputes, but unfortunately you are a businessman."
"What's wrong with the businessman?" Gu Yufei asked in a cold tone. He didn't like Gu Tianyou's tone of voice, which meant that it had nothing to do with him.
"When I was there, I met a few businessmen. In the beginning, they were the ones who had no power, no power, no black and white, and only knew how to make money, but when they developed to a certain stage, they had to get involved with people on these two paths. Er, the reason why the few I know will go in is that some of them followed the fallen white people and ate scrapes, and some were dazzled by a few bad money, and they ran up the black road. It's all folded in." Gu Tianyou did not hide his clumsiness, and continued: "In these years, it is difficult to do business than officials, and more money is eye-catching. It's hard to play around, and I folded myself in a little carelessly."
"Hey!"
Gu Yufei sighed deeply, suffering is indeed the best teacher in life. Thinking of the descendants of the same age as Tianyou in the village, it is really hard to imagine how this young man survived the first sixteen years.
"Strictly speaking, I am indeed a businessman." He nodded patiently and asked again: "How do you know that I am in trouble now?"
"I guess." Gu Tianyou felt a trace of warmth and relief from Gu Yufei's eager eyes, which was a sign of burning life and returning to light. His tone was eager and full of hope. Under the gaze of Gu Tianyou, he couldn't help thinking that the person in front of him was his biological father after all.
Love needs to be cultivated, but family love is innate. Facing this cheap old man who was dying soon, Gu Tianyou felt a little unbearable, and added: "As the saying goes, illness comes from the heart, and the trouble of making someone like you suffer from such a serious illness must not be small."
"There is also a saying that a thin dead camel is bigger than a horse." Gu Yufei said, "If you recognize me, you are the seed of the Gu family. No matter how much trouble I get, at least I can save enough for you to live on. A very good living property."
Gu Tianyou took a deep breath, nodded and said, "You can really do it, maybe your troubles won't have much to do with me, but I also know a saying: When a tree falls, the hozen scatters, and when you really fall, time"
Gu Tianyou's words were left in half, and the content behind is not difficult to imagine. For Tianyou, the real threat does not necessarily come from the outside world. Once Gu Yufei completely falls, a 16-year-old boy who has no emotional basis with this family and grew up in prison, why should he fight for inheritance with others?
Gu Yufei listened silently and looked carefully at the young man in front of him. Gu Tianyou's tone was indifferent, he talked freely, and his sharp eyes flashed with a confident and calm look that did not match his age. What happened now made Gu Yufei wonder, how could this young man become a notorious seducer? At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, how did the child's 14-year prison life come to be?
"Have you studied medicine? Do you still know a few pots of orchid from me? How did you learn this?" Gu Yufei suddenly wanted to know more details about Tianyou.
"It doesn't matter who you learn from, what matters is that I'm not what you think I am. It is true that seeing you and finding the source of my life is also a surprise for me, but it does not mean that I am I must burst into tears, jump into your arms and call you Dad, and then when you run out of fuel, bear the lingering hatred of those enemies for you."
Speaking of which, Gu Tianyou simply spoke freely, and continued: "Besides the enemy family, I believe you have other children, relatives and friends. Among them are brothers who started from scratch with you, and couples who share weal and woe with you. I guess they don't. would welcome me into your circle and take whatever was theirs."
Liang Bida mentioned a woman, maybe he lied at the time, but the woman must exist.
Gu Tianyou simply opened the skylight to speak eloquently, expressing his thoughts without reservation.
Gu Yufei listened silently, at this moment his heart was pounding and he was speechless.
Gu Tianyou's maturity and shrewdness greatly exceeded his expectations. Facing those eyes that were so similar to him, and seemed to be able to see through the world, he suddenly felt that all words were pale and powerless, and could not express his surprise at the moment. Gu Tianyou's performance greatly exceeded his expectations. Originally thought that it was just a tool to inherit the lineage, but suddenly found that it seems that there are people who have successors?
"If I had a choice, I'd rather stay inside than be deceived by Liang Bida to see you lying there helplessly. If I haven't seen you, at least I can imagine you living in the world Somewhere, maybe mediocrity, maybe excellence, maybe hate, maybe there's something you can't tell, but for now, I just have to accept the fact that my appearance is likely to hasten your death, which, most unfortunately, destroys my sixteenth. Years of fantasy, but also let Liang Bida achieve his goal."
This sentence made Gu Yufei feel as if he had been electrocuted. He was full of surprises, even ecstatic. Stimulated by the huge surprise, he sat up in high spirits and slowly extended his hand towards Gu Tianyou, staring at Tianyou. , in his eyes there is no confidence in the control of everything before, and the melancholy and longing pour out undisguised.
The simplest relationship in the world is between parents and children. If it could be simple, who would want to make a family relationship so complicated? The fact that Gu Tianyou's appearance was caused by Liang Bida is a stone in Gu Yufei's heart. Now Gu Tianyou takes the initiative to mention this person, which is equivalent to breaking the stone. He was pleasantly surprised to find that this son was neither destroyed by his 14-year prison career nor deceived by the villain Liang Bida.
This terminally ill man, with tears in his eyes, stared at his son within reach, completely without the previous suspicion and disgust, only with deep expectations and regrets: "My child, I am your father, Dad has been sorry for you all these years, and now I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope to hear you call me."
Gu Tianyou hesitated there, and after a long time, he took a step forward and grabbed Gu Yufei's skinny hand. The cold temperature and unstoppable tremors were transmitted through this hand, as cold as Gu Tianyou's heart, and he couldn't help shivering. Suddenly it occurred to me that this person was my father. He was terminally ill and was about to die soon.
The two hands were held together, conveying each other's warmth. After a long silence, Gu Tianyou still didn't call out the father.
"I'm very relieved, no matter what choice you will make, I've been relieved to see such a person before my death." Gu Yufei felt the warmth of Tianyou's palm, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, his voice changed. Slow and powerless, but with a sense of contentment, at this moment, his heart was wide open, and the nature of father and son that had been deliberately suppressed by reason was fully revealed. He muttered like a murmur: "You are my son, whether you accept it or not, you are my seed of Gu Yufei."
He seemed a little confused, and he kept talking like a dazed man: "You don't have to recognize me as a father, it's really unfair to you, but I have already recognized you as my Gu Yufei's son, so I have to think again. Thinking about how to arrange you, I can't just take you back to Wolongtang like this, you are right, just take you back like this, Su Sauvignon and the others will not accept you, they can't treat you like I am alive, if I am alive If you die, they will try their best to destroy you."
People don't have a hundred years of life, and they often have a thousand years of worry.
Gu Yufei knew that his time was short, and he had given up hope for what happened after him, but he did not expect that the son brought back to him by the enemy would be more malleable than he imagined. For a time, there was only one thought left in his mind, that is, he must arrange the future blessed by God. He was in a mess and chattering endlessly. He said that he wanted to send Tianyou to go abroad, and then he said that he would arrange Tianyou to study in the capital. No matter which idea was perfect, he was satisfied.
At this moment, Gu Yufei is just a father with a troubled mind, and he has no trace of the heroic temperament that has been accumulated in the business sea for decades.
Rational cognition can make the world cycle smoothly, and emotional inspiration is the driving force to push the world forward.
At this moment, Gu Yufei's undisguised revealing of his true feelings made it difficult for Gu Tianyou to remain rational and calm. Although there are 10,000 voices in my heart reminding me, don't be emotional. The words that came out of his mouth turned into: "Don't bother, I'll go back to Wolongtang with you!" Then there was no doubt: "It's my own choice, I can go if I want, I can leave when I want, I can't help you! "
Gu Yufei was ecstatic, holding Tianyou's hand, so many words came to his lips but couldn't get out.
Gu Tianyou is slightly emotional: "Father and son, if you plan for me like this, I should also do something for you, and I will accompany you through the last journey of life."
