Chapter 352: The Most Beloved Child
Gu Shuangbai froze completely.
Wu Yue turned her head in disbelief, looking at her fiancé. “Shuangbai, I don’t understand what your brother is saying. Can you explain it to me?”
Gu Shuangbai immediately replied, “Xiaoyue, these artists are always crazy. Don’t listen to him.”
Wu Yue nodded lightly, but her hands wouldn’t stop trembling. The truth seemed right in front of her, yet she didn’t dare to touch it.
Gu Shuangbai’s mind was a mess. Ever since he entered the entertainment industry, his career had been smooth sailing. Always praised and admired, his life was so easy that instead of feeling satisfied, he found it boring.
No matter how beautiful a woman was, she seemed easily obtainable.
The entertainment world was already chaotic, and someone quickly noticed his mindset, leading him down a path of thrill-seeking.
He wasn’t reckless enough to play extreme sports, but when it came to relationships, he became more and more reckless.
Before, he had never considered Gu Xueying in that way—he had always seen her as a little sister. But after Gu Fengchuan told him the absurd contents of a letter received in Hong Kong, Gu Shuangbai felt a strange thrill.
If he truly wanted excitement, nothing could be more thrilling than Gu Xueying.
At that time, the Gu family’s business was also in trouble. The Red Dragon King had already obtained one fetus, and if not for the Gu family promising him a second one, he wouldn’t have helped so readily.
Gu Shuangbai found it thrilling but also reassured himself that he was making a contribution to the family. He was a great hero for the Gu family, so in the end, he should get a bigger share of the family business.
As for Wu Yue, she had heard some rumors about her fiancé before, but every time she brought them up, he would sweet-talk her until she was completely convinced otherwise.
Gu Yuji, on the other hand, had long been consumed by jealousy over Gu Xueying and his second brother. His already unhinged nature became even more extreme under the stimulation of this news—he wished for nothing more than for the Gu family to fall into complete chaos.
“You believe whatever he says, but do you also believe him when he says he never forced his fans?” Gu Yuji sneered.
He casually pulled out a stack of scandalous photos and placed them on the table.
Wu Yue, who had been trying to avoid facing the truth, screamed in horror when she saw them.
She slapped Gu Shuangbai across the face. “You… why would you do this to me…?”
Her heart was breaking.
Gu Shuangbai hurriedly tried to console her. “Xiaoyue, don’t listen to him. These photos are fake!”
“If the photos are fake, then is the baby in her belly fake too?” Gu Yuji asked coldly.
Father Gu was already overwhelmed by the noisy argument between his children, feeling his head buzzing. He slammed the table and roared, “Enough! Third child, what are you trying to do? Has this family not treated you well enough?”
Hearing this, Gu Yuji’s expression darkened instantly. He let out a chilling laugh. “Treated me well? Hahaha! Treated me well? Do you remember what you did to me when I was eight years old? Who would have thought that a biological father would sell his son for profit?!”
Everyone was stunned by his words.
When Gu Yuji was eight, he had gone missing for a time. The Gu family found him in an abandoned park, looking disheveled and terrified. He would scream if anyone even touched him.
It was Gu Xueying, speaking gently and patiently, who finally managed to calm him down.
Gu Yuji had always been extraordinarily beautiful since childhood, even more stunning than child stars. The family had speculated that something terrible must have happened to him during the time he was missing.
Although they felt sorry for him, they never pressed him for details when he refused to talk about it.
But now, his words were like a bombshell. Everyone turned to look at Father Gu in shock.
“Nonsense!” Father Gu shouted.
But despite his angry denial, his eyes darted around, refusing to meet his son’s gaze.
“A person like you knows nothing about family. You’ve even sold your wife before—why would selling your own child bother you?”
Gu Yuji’s words shifted everyone’s attention to Mother Gu.
Who would have thought that the once dignified and pampered Madam Gu had such a shameful past?
Mother Gu had initially been heartbroken over her husband swapping their legitimate daughter for his illegitimate one. But now, under everyone’s scrutinizing gazes, she had no choice but to stand by her husband’s side. “Third child, have you been drinking too much?”
“You two made your first fortune by setting up a honey trap and scamming your business partner! Do you really think Big Brother’s failure in Hong Kong was just because he wasn’t capable enough? You ruined that man’s son—of course he would hold a grudge and seek revenge!”
As Gu Yuji continued to expose more and more shocking truths, both Father and Mother Gu began to panic.
“Third child, we’re all family. Why are you being so petty?”
“So you admit it? Hahaha! What a filthy family—who would want to be a part of this?” Gu Yuji laughed maniacally, looking as if he was about to drag the entire family down with him.
For the first time, Father Gu truly felt afraid. He turned to his wife. “Keep an eye on him. I need to take care of the formula issue.”
Even after all these explosive revelations, he still remembered his top priority.
But just as he was about to leave, a servant rushed downstairs. “Sir, your phone in the study has been ringing nonstop.”
Father Gu frowned. “If it’s been ringing, why didn’t you bring it to me?”
The servant shrank back. “Sir, you’ve always forbidden us from entering your study. I didn’t dare…”
Father Gu was fuming, but he had no real argument. He stormed upstairs, grabbed his phone, and saw the caller ID.
His heart leaped with joy. “Mr. Wang, does the Dragon King have any instructions? Whatever you need, just say the word. But my family is facing difficulties again—I hope the Dragon King can help us once more…”
He was already prepared to be scolded—after all, the Gu family had asked for help so many times in the past two years.
But the voice on the other end was strangely amused. “More trouble? Don’t worry. As long as you obey, the Dragon King will certainly help you overcome this crisis.”
Father Gu immediately relaxed.
The caller continued, “The Dragon King wants to see you and your wife. Right now, you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity before you. It’s up to you whether you can seize it.”
Without hesitation, Father Gu replied, “I’ll go see the Dragon King right now.”
“No rush. The Dragon King isn’t in Shanghai at the moment. A car has been sent to pick you up. Just make sure you bring along the child you love the most.”
