At this moment, the phone in the living room rang.
Zuo Li picked up the answer in a daze: "Hello."
There was silence on the other side of the phone at first, and then Gu Yuanzheng's voice came.
"Aunt Zuo, are you going to cry?"
The sudden sound brought Zuo Li back to his senses.
She looked at the phone in her hand, not expecting Gu Yuanzheng to call her.
"Brother, let me talk to the little stepmother quickly. Who bullied the little stepmother?"
"Don't speak yet." Zuo Li vaguely heard Gu Suiyang's voice over there, but soon heard Gu Yuanzheng's voice.
"Aunt Zuo, what happened?"
Zuo Li actually didn't have much interaction with Gu Yuanzheng, so when he heard these words, he felt a little heart-warming.
"You, Yuan Zheng, why did you call me?"
This call was truly unexpected.
"I want to tell Aunt Zuo that we have arrived and are now in the old house in the capital."
A smile appeared on Zuo Li's face, "Well, very good, Happy New Year. When you get home, I will give you New Year's gifts and red envelopes."
"None of these are important. The main thing is that Aunt Zuo, your mood is very wrong. Did something happen? Where is dad?"
When Zuo Li heard Gu Yuanzheng mention Gu Feichen, his expression instantly dimmed: "He has also returned to the capital."
When Gu Yuanzheng heard this, he frowned. Logically speaking, he shouldn't.
They asked Gu Feichen if he would return to the capital, but he refused. How could he come back suddenly?
Gu Yuanzheng: "Is someone looking for him? Or you two had a quarrel."
Gu Yuanzheng quickly thought of the key to the problem!
Gu Yuanzheng didn't think Zuo Li had done anything to anger Gu Feichen.
Perhaps in his mind, Zuo Li was not the kind of person who would make people angry.
Although he respected his father, he felt that his father was very capable of making people angry.
So what's going on with Zuoli now?
Zuo Li was a little embarrassed, but she didn't expect that the child would see her emotions this time.
This really damages the image of the elders.
"Well, I'm fine, your dad is in a hurry."
Zuo Li had no urge to tell Gu Yuanzheng those things.
In her opinion, that was a matter between her and Gu Feichen.
Perhaps she already understood in her heart that if it were between Jiang Qinqin and her, the villains would definitely choose Jiang Qinqin.
Not to mention, Jiang Qinqin’s sister is very likely the villain’s biological mother.
Thinking of this, Zuo Li said, "Okay, I'll hang up first."
Gu Yuanzheng squinted his eyes. Although he couldn't see Zuo Li, Zuo Li might not even know whether she was happy or unhappy. It was easy to see clearly.
According to his character, he would not speak if he could, so he should not say anything at this time.
but……
Gu Yuanzheng looked at the watch on his wrist - it was the winter solstice gift given to them by Zuo Li.
"Aunt Zuo, I think communication is very important whether it is between husband and wife or between children.
I can see that you are sad now. So, why don't you talk to me. After all, I am also very curious about my dad.
Aunt Zuo, you know, none of us grew up with our father. I want to know more about him."
Zuo Li paused as he hung up the phone, with hesitation on his face.
If Gu Yuanzheng just wanted to find out why she was so sad, then Zuo Li would definitely not say anything.
She is not used to confiding her negative emotions to others, because Zuo Li understands that negative emotions are contagious.
If it hasn't reached the critical point yet, you can digest it by yourself.
But Gu Yuanzheng's words illuminated family relationships and a son's curiosity about his father.
Zuo Li's heart suddenly softened.
She sat down again, organized her words in her mind and said: "A woman named Jiang Qinqin took your father away..."
"What?!"
Gu Yuanzheng suddenly raised his voice emotionally.
Zuo Li was startled and continued: "Yes, then she chatted with your dad for a while, and your dad is going to the capital."
Having said this, Zuo Li couldn't help but feel a little disappointed again.
A trace of disgust flashed in Gu Yuanzheng's eyes on the other side of the phone.
But this disgust was not directed at Zuo Li, but at Jiang Qinqin.
"Aunt Zuo, don't misunderstand my dad. He will never have anything to do with Jiang Qinqin! He should really have something to do when he returns to the capital."
Zuo Li hummed when he heard this, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.
She was not worried about Jiang Qinqin. Gu Feichen's dislike for Jiang Qinqin was too obvious.
What she was worried about was clearly the sister Jiang Qinqin mentioned.
Zuo Li started to speak but stopped.
Should I ask his mother if she is the sister Jiang Qinqin mentioned?
Zuo Li bit her lip and said, "Jiang Qinqin also mentioned someone. Mr. Gu may have left because of this."
"That woman mentioned her sister, right? Aunt Zuo, you want to ask if her sister is our mother, right?"
Zuo Li was not doubtful that Gu Yuanzheng could guess that although she regarded her stepson and stepdaughter as children, she did not really think that they were the same as other peers.
Zuo Li didn't speak, just remained silent, waiting for the answer from Gu Yuanzheng.
"You mean Jiang Fei? No." Gu Yuanzheng said very calmly, "Jiang Qinqin's sister Jiang Fei is not our mother. Well, in name, everyone thinks that we are the children of Jiang Fei and his father."
Zuo Li said in surprise: "No? How is it possible? And what does this mean in name..."
Gu Yuanzheng's answer completely overturned all her previous conjectures.
Zuo Li felt dizzy. How could it be otherwise?
According to the attitude of taking care of Fei Chen, he should care about Jiang Fei very much.
So, why did Gu Feichen return to the capital?
"Did Mr. Gu have any relationship with Jiang Fei?"
Gu Yuanzheng thought for a while and said honestly: "The elders arranged for them to be engaged, but neither party was willing. Later Jiang Fei disappeared, and my father brought us back a few years later. He said to the outside world that he and
Jiang Fei's child.
Everyone else thought that my dad had a deep love for her. My dad never denied it because he didn't want to get married.
But I can be sure that we are not Jiang Fei's children, and my father also told us that our mother is someone else. My father only likes my mother..." He paused and then said.
"Before he met Aunt Zuo, he probably only loved my mother."
As for now, he thinks his father also has feelings for Zuo Li.
Gu Yuanzheng said: "Aunt Zuo, don't think too much. My father is not someone who is still ambiguous with others during marriage. Jiang Qinqin's thoughts about my father are even less likely to come true."
"Where is Jiang Qinqin?!" At this moment, Gu Jixing's cold voice came from the phone.
Gu Yuanzheng told Zuo Li what happened just now.
Gu Jixing frowned, took the phone, and said with hatred:
"You are my father's current wife. You should have rushed over and slapped that shameless woman a few times. It was better to smash her face completely!"
Zuo Li didn't understand the attitude of the boss and the second child. If Jiang Fei was not their mother, then why did the two of them hate Jiang Qinqin so much?
Zuo Li wanted to ask, since Jiang Fei is not their mother, who is their biological mother?
But Zuo Li understood that Gu Yuanzheng didn't say it just now, and he definitely couldn't say it now.
She covered her head, feeling that it was too late and her mind was really not very clear. "Well, I'll hang up first. I want to go up and rest first."
After hanging up the phone.
Gu Jixing lowered his voice and asked Gu Yuanzheng in a hoarse voice: "Brother, did you say something to her that shouldn't be said?"
Gu Yuanzheng looked at him and said calmly: "I just told her that Jiang Fei is not our mother."
Gu Jixing suddenly said excitedly: "How can you tell this? Didn't my father say that this matter cannot be told to outsiders? You know, others think we are Jiang Fei's sons!"
Gu Yuanzheng: "She is not an outsider."
Gu Jixing's pupils shrank and he looked at Gu Yuanzheng in shock, only to find that Gu Yuanzheng just took a book so calmly, obviously not wanting to say more.
"Tsk!" Gu Jixing stood up and said coldly, "Then why doesn't Jiang Qinqin appear in front of me?"
They indeed had an obvious dislike for Jiang Qinqin.
After all, Jiang Fei is their biological mother in name only.
