Chapter 222 The Secret Hidden in My Heart for Twenty Years
Because Sun Wanru suddenly made a fuss, everyone's mood was obviously affected.
Even though Nie Yuhua and Gu Yating were dragging Jiang Nan around to find various topics, Jiang Nan could only force a smile and couldn't be happy.
All she could think about was Sun Wanru's ferocious and twisted face.
Jiang Nan and Lu Hao looked at each other, then stood up, "Uncle, aunt, Lu Hao and I are going back first. You guys should go home and rest too. We have all been tired for a long day."
Gu Changan hurriedly persuaded her to stay, "Nan Nan, don't go back tonight. We have prepared a room for you, so just stay at home."
"Next time, we have something to do today, so we'll leave first."
Jiang Nan said, "When my grandparents and my dad come out, please tell me that we are leaving first."
Gu Yahui wanted to see them off, but Lu Hao refused, "No, it's very convenient to take a car."
At this time, Jiang Nan needs to calm down.
Along the way, Jiang Nan was worried, and Lu Hao didn't say anything, but silently held her hand and stayed with her.
As soon as she entered the house, Lu Hao hugged her into his arms.
Jiang Nan leaned on his chest and hugged him tightly.
For a long time, with tears in her eyes, she said muffledly, "Tell me, how could I have such a mother?"
Although she was very reluctant to admit it, the fact could not be changed. She was born to Sun Wanru.
Lu Hao stroked her back and said softly, "We cannot decide our origins. No matter what kind of person she is, it will not affect you in becoming a better version of yourself."
"But I still feel very sad and disappointed." In her previous life, she didn't know her own life experience. When she saw the neurotic Sun Wanru, she just felt very sad.
But now, with a different status, as a daughter, watching her mother go crazy, it would be a lie to say that she has no feelings.
Sun Wanru's attitude towards her was so indifferent that she didn't feel any guilt at all.
A middle-aged woman only thinks about so-called love.
It's really sad.
"I understand." Lu Hao pulled her into the bedroom, "Little Fatty, you see there are so many people who love you around you. Let's not punish ourselves with other people's mistakes. Lie down and take a rest."
Under Lu Hao's comfort, Jiang Nan finally felt less heavy. She lay on the bed and rested for a while, forcing herself not to think about Sun Wanru's crazy appearance.
However, she thought of another question that shocked her.
She shook Lu Hao's arm lightly and sighed, "I really didn't expect that my dad actually has someone he likes in his heart, and she is her own sister."
Lu Hao corrected, "No, grandpa said she was an adopted daughter and got her from an orphanage."
Lu Hao turned over, lying on his side and looked at her, and said in a serious tone, "Little Fatty, let's not look at him through colored glasses, let alone let Ms. Sun succeed. My father-in-law is already suffering enough."
Unable to love her, he was forced to live with a woman he didn't love for more than twenty years. Only he knew the pain.
Jiang Nan heard Lu Hao's words and smiled, "He is really lucky to have such a considerate son-in-law like you."
Lu Hao looked at her with affectionate eyes and said slowly, "No, it's your luck."
After returning to his home and chatting alone with Lu Hao, the gloom in Jiang Nan's heart was swept away.
Although Sun Wanru's distorted face still lingered in her mind, she could at least face it calmly.
Sun Wanru had never raised her, and she did not expect her to come into this world.
Even though we have met now, I don't feel a trace of guilt.
At a young age, all I can think about is the paranoid, crazy, and unrequited love.
Therefore, she has no obligation to do anything to Sun Wanru.
In her previous life, Sun Wanru did not die under her silver needle, and she did not owe her anything.
The two of them rested for a while and planned to go out to buy groceries together when Gu Zhengan came.
He actually didn't know how to face Jiang Nan, but he came anyway.
No matter what his daughter and son-in-law think of him, he must appear in front of them responsibly.
"Dad, why are you here?"
After changing his words during the day, Jiang Nan saw Gu Zhengan and naturally called him.
Jiang Nan's expression was as usual and her tone was very affectionate. Gu Zhengan's heart had been hanging all the way, but suddenly it fell to the ground.
But his expression was still very unnatural, "You left without leaving dinner. I'll come over and take a look."
Jiang Nan explained, "We all had dinner together at noon. We have something to do when we get back."
"Nan Nan, I'm sorry. I didn't know your mother would come suddenly today. It was because I didn't handle the matter with her well." Gu Zhengan apologized to her with his head lowered, blaming himself.
"It's okay, I understand."
Gu Zhengan said again, "The police have already filed a case about what happened back then. I have no right to interfere anymore. The police will enforce the law impartially."
He was explaining to Jiang Nan that Sun Wanru had scolded him for breaking his promise and promised to let Mr. Sun go after divorce.
"I know."
Jiang Nan expressed his attitude, "Those who break the law should pay the price. I will not ask for mercy from anyone, and I will never forgive them."
Maybe Gu Zhengan thought that Mrs. Sun was her grandmother, and given her age, she would think that he was cruel in doing so. In fact, he was wrong. If Sun Wanru had participated in what happened back then and was imprisoned, she would not be soft-hearted either.
People have to pay for their own actions.
Lu Hao looked at his watch and said to Gu Zheng'an, "Father-in-law, I'm going to buy groceries. You stay at home for dinner tonight."
"good."
After Lu Hao went out, they were the only two people left in the room. Although Jiang Nan's words just now made Gu Zhengan very happy and felt a lot better, his expression was still very unnatural, and the hand on his lap kept looking...
Move around.
"Dad, do you have anything else to do?"
Jiang Nan looked at his hesitant expression and asked.
Gu Zhengan was silent for a moment, then summoned up the courage to look at Jiang Nan, "Nan Nan, you...will you look down on me because of Sun Wanru's words?"
This is what he cares about most.
The secret he had hidden for twenty years was nakedly torn apart by Sun Wanru in the sun. What he cared about most was his parents' reaction and his daughter's attitude.
Jiang Nan had a smile on her face, "Why do I look down on you?"
"You mean, she mentioned that you like my Aunt Gu Lan?"
Gu Zhengan's face was obviously tense, he lowered his eyes and did not dare to look into Jiang Nan's eyes, and nodded almost imperceptibly.
Yes, now that things have happened, Gu Zhengan wants to deny it, just to hide it.
It's better to admit it openly, after all, it's all a matter of the past.
For so many years, Sun Wanru has been threatening him with this incident.
He was indeed choked by Sun Wanru.
I dare not divorce because of her threats.
He was afraid that this so-called scandal would be exposed by Sun Wanru, which would shame his family and make the old man angry.
But he didn't expect that today, when Sun Wanru exposed his innermost secrets in front of all his family members regardless of his feelings, his old father would choose to side with him.
In the study, he didn't criticize him much.
Gu Zhengan couldn't help but regret his cowardice.
If he had been braver at the beginning, would the outcome have been different?
At this time, he was extremely nervous, like a criminal waiting for trial, waiting for Jiang Nan's reaction.
Jiang Nan said in a relaxed tone, "How could I look down on you because of this? Grandpa said it, that's not my biological aunt, she was taken from the orphanage. I've seen this kind of thing a lot. In the countryside, some families
If I have many sons, I will specially adopt a daughter to be my daughter-in-law when she grows up."
She was not talking about a child bride, she was raised as a baby and became a daughter-in-law when she grew up.
Jiang Nan understood him so well, and Gu Zhengan's tense face finally relaxed a little. Tears shone in his eyes, and his tone was hoarse, "Nan Nan, thank you for your understanding. I was ignorant when I was young and frivolous, and I brought you all this trouble."
All this hurt is my fault."
The secret he had carefully hidden for twenty years was revealed so unexpectedly, and he thought that devastating harm was waiting for him.
But he never thought that his parents and daughter would accept it so generously.
Gu Zhengan suddenly didn't know whether he was sad or happy.
Jiang Nan gently held his hand and comforted him, "No, don't say that. There is nothing wrong with loving someone."
The wrong kind of person who hurts the other person in the name of love.
Jiang Nan really wants to ask him if he still loves Ms. Gu Lan now?
But when the words came to her lips, she didn't dare to ask.
So what if I still love you?
Gu Zhengan is no longer young, does he still have the courage to pursue love again?
What's more, it's a so-called forbidden love that is not looked upon favorably.
