Chapter 14 Father and Son

There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the room. Several pots of orchids were placed on the windowsill. Miao Shifan had a new collection of herbs that included a chapter on orchids. The pots on the windowsill were not difficult to tell from the leaf-shaped appearance that they were very valuable. From the looks of it, Liang Bida was telling the truth about how rich his cheap father was.

Gu Tianyou already knew that the man on the bed was called Gu Yufei, the village director of a famous village in the Wudong area. What he didn't know was that even though Gu Yufei was only a village director, he enjoyed the treatment of a hall.

Because that village was called Wolong Tang, and it had the reputation of being the number one village in Wudong Province.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on the sea to eat seas. Sixteen years ago, Wolongtang was just a small fishing village by the mountains and the sea. At that time, Gu Yufei was still a smuggler who sailed a speedboat to escape death at sea. Yu Shaofen was one of the many lovers beside him. Sixteen years later, Gu Yufei had already changed his ways and reaped both fame and fortune, but fate had dealt him a heavy blow at this moment. He had cancer and was searching for medicine all over the world, but in the end, he couldn't find any hope even if he was terminally ill. It wasn't until the moment that he was about to die that he remembered that there was no successor.

Over the years, he had happily found many women, but apart from the three daughters born to his original wife, there were no other women. The doctor said it was due to the fact that 16 years ago, when he escaped from the sea, he suffered a severe cold and suffered injuries to his Yuan Qi.

A while ago, Liang Bida suddenly came to his door and told Gu Yufei that he still had a sixteen-year-old son who was wandering outside. To this terminally ill, middle-aged man with no successor, this piece of news was simply too tempting. Gu Yufei knew that the other party would not have any good intentions, but he still could not refuse.

That's why there was such a meeting.

Gu Tianyou stood quietly in front of the bed while Gu Yufei lay there silently. The father and son, the two men, were observing each other.

In his life, Gu Yufei had seen many scenes of his relatives turning against each other like enemies in the face of entanglement of interests. If it wasn't for the sake of his successor, even he would have thought of refusing to recognize Gu Tianyou. Now that the father and son had met, Gu Yufei didn't show any emotion in his heart, even though he had some affection for licking the calf.

Although Gu Yufei already had some understanding of the past of Heaven's Blessing, he felt that this meeting was too hasty and even sudden. According to his original temperament, he would definitely have done his homework before the father and son recognized each other. First, he would think of a way to understand what had happened to Gu Tianyou in the past 15 years. No matter how big or small, he would be able to figure it out clearly. Then, he would make targeted arrangements and arrangements until the right time came before recognizing his son.

But now, these thoughts could only flash through his mind. He no longer had the time to slowly wait for that moment to arrive.

He stared at the youth in front of him. He had the same tall and straight figure as he had when he was young. His appearance was indeed somewhat similar. He had the same sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and a tall nose. However, his cheeks were slightly less angular and had a bit more feminine and elegant aura. Looking, looking, he suddenly remembered Yu Shaofen from back then. She had a weak exterior and a crazy interior. She had helped him resist his sins and almost killed his brother. The youth's face was very similar to Shao Fen's. Then, he thought of the information he had found out about this youth, and a trace of disgust, unwillingness, and anger appeared in his heart.

This notorious and ill-bred seducer is my Gu Yufei 's only son?

As time passed, the little anticipation in Gu Yufei 's heart gradually disappeared, leaving only worry and unwillingness.

It was supposed to be a moment of warmth and excitement when the father and son, who had never met before, first met, but the atmosphere in the ward was exceptionally solemn.

There weren't many dramatic scenes of Gu Tianyou searching for his roots and recognizing his ancestors. A cold paternity test proved the father-son relationship between him and the man on the bed. However, it could not change the distance between them.

The professional skills he learned from Miao Shifan told Tian You that this man was already terminally ill. Sickness comes from the heart. A middle-aged man whose career is in the stage of horseshoe disease should not have such a disease. Gu Yufei 's expression was filled with lingering worry. Although he had tried his best to conceal it, he could not escape Gu Tianyou's eyes.

This man, who had clearly stood above the crowd, must have some unknown suffering.

Looking at the middle-aged man who had obviously not had much time on the bed, Gu Tianyou's mind was filled with thoughts as he hesitated whether he should recognize this man or not. Perhaps to outsiders, Tian You didn't seem to have a choice on this issue. After 16 years as an orphan, a middle-aged merchant suddenly claimed to be his biological father and son. Who could refuse such a beautiful thing that fell from the sky?

The old man often said that when a person walked in Jianghu, the beauty of a pie falling from the sky could not be trusted, and a craftsman had to point at the thing in his hand and live. The pie in front of him was delicious, but it was poisonous.

If he recognized Gu Yufei and this cheap father didn't live long, then the more things he left behind, the more troubles he would bring. Did he have the ability to deal with those troubles? Grandpa Long often said that he had a big stomach and ate big seats. Before making a decision, Gu Tianyou had no choice but to weigh his own weight.

Gu Yufei remained silent, waiting for Gu Tianyou to express his stance first. However, Gu Tianyou was still hesitating in his heart. Should he immediately pounce over and cry out for his father, or should he immediately turn around and leave without saying a word. Even if he returned to the juvenile detention center, he would still have to stay far away from this troubled man?

Liang Bida had arranged this meeting, but this lawyer, who was full of lies, clearly did not have any good intentions. Although he wasn't sure of his purpose, he could at least be sure that he hated the man in front of him to the bone and didn't hold back any good fart towards him.

Perhaps the current situation was that whether he admitted it or not, this barrister Liang had already achieved his goal.

On the bed, Gu Yufei frowned. His expression was filled with complex emotions. There was a little expectation, but more helplessness and anger.

Gu Tianyou's reaction greatly exceeded his expectations. He was thinking that the youth in front of him was completely ignorant of what had happened. Or was he mentally unstable, already dazed by the huge surprise, completely at a loss how to express it?

"Your name is Gu Tianyou?" After a long silence, Gu Yufei broke the silence first.

His illness was getting worse and worse, as if every word he said was a waste.

"Gu is the Gu of the heavens. Heaven bless is the meaning of the heavens blessing."

Gu Tianyou's expression was indifferent. His words intentionally showed that he was keeping a distance from Gu Yufei .

Gu Yufei was slightly surprised. What did this brat mean? Could it be that he still wants to get rid of this daddy? This conjecture instantly aroused his curiosity and aroused his interest. He purposefully said, "In the end, it is impossible to write the word 'Gu' in one stroke. Otherwise, why don't you call it 'Yu Tianyou'?"

"Actually, calling Yu Tianyou isn't bad either." Gu Tianyou paused for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps by calling this name, I won't have to face the current problem."

"Difficult problem?" Gu Yufei frowned slightly. It seemed that this brat really wanted to get rid of him. He was somewhat surprised, and he found it hard to believe the calm and profound meaning that the youth had shown. From these few simple conversations, he seemed to have discovered a new continent and was interested, "Why do you say that?"

Gu Yufei was lying there, skinny and haggard. Gu Tianyou looked at the man in front of him who had given him life. Thinking that the man who was connected to him had run out of oil, a wisp of pity flashed in his heart and he slowly said, "Forgive me for speaking frankly, but from what I saw, you seem to be in trouble. It's hard to protect yourself. I suspect that I will soon be in trouble as well after I recognize you."

This sentence was very straightforward. After saying that, Gu Yufei was completely stunned. He naturally understood the meaning behind Gu Tianyou's words. He couldn't help but think in his heart, 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?

Even though his life was running out, Gu Yufei clenched his fists tightly and stared at Gu Tianyou. He was shocked, but more surprised.

"How did you see it?" He suppressed his emotions and asked, "Can you tell me what you saw?"

"I studied medicine there for a few days, I can probably tell that you're in a bad condition, This ward is so luxurious, As long as you're not blind, you can tell that you're a big shot, "I know a few pots of orchid grass on the windowsill. It's called He Guansuyu. I heard that it's worth more than a million yuan. Liang Bida told me that you are the village chief of Wolongtang Village. Although I have little knowledge, I know how big the village chief is. Ah, if you really are a big official, at least there won't be too many property disputes. Unfortunately, you are a businessman."

"What happened to the merchant?" Gu Yufei asked in a cold tone. He somewhat disliked Gu Tianyou's tone of voice, which was cold and indifferent.

"I met a few businessmen inside, In the beginning, he was a person who had no power, no influence, no black and no white, only knew how to earn money, "However, at a certain stage of development, I have no choice but to get involved with the people on these two paths. The reason why the few people I know went in was because they ate and scratched their heads with the dismounted White Dao figures. Some of them were knocked unconscious by a few bad coins. They ran up the black path with one head and eventually folded into it." Gu Tianyou did not hide anything. He continued, "This year, business is harder to do than government officials. The more money you earn, the more trouble you will have. Without a backstage cover, it is difficult to play around. If you don't pay attention, you will be able to fold yourself in."

"Ah!"

Gu Yufei sighed deeply. Tribulation was indeed the best teacher in his life. Thinking about the younger generation in the village who were the same age as Tianyou, it was really hard to imagine how this youth managed to survive for the first 16 years.

"Strictly speaking, I am indeed a businessman." He nodded and asked patiently, "How do you know I'm in trouble?"

"I was just guessing." Gu Tianyou felt a trace of warmth and gratification from Gu Yufei 's eager gaze. It was a sign of burning life and returning light. His tone was filled with eagerness and hope. Under this gaze, Gu Tianyou couldn't help but think that this person in front of him was his biological father.

Feelings need to be nurtured, but kinship is innate. Facing this cheap father who was not long dead, Gu Tianyou couldn't bear it anymore. He added, "As the saying goes, sickness comes from the heart. The trouble that can cause a person like you to suffer such a serious illness must not be small."

"There is also a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse." Gu Yufei said, "You admit that I am the seed of the Gu Family. No matter how troublesome I am, I can at least leave behind enough property for you to live a good life."

Gu Tianyou took a deep breath and nodded, "You can indeed do it. Perhaps your troubles won't have much to do with me, but I also know the saying: When you really fall down …"

Gu Tianyou left half of his words behind, and the rest was not hard to imagine. To Tianyou, the real threat did not necessarily come from the outside world. Once Gu Yufei completely collapsed, why would a sixteen-year-old youth who had no emotional foundation with the clan and had grown up in prison compete with others for his inheritance?

Gu Yufei listened silently and carefully looked at the youth in front of him. Gu Tianyou said calmly and confidently, his sharp eyes shining with a confident and calm expression that was inconsistent with his age. Everything that happened at this moment made Gu Yufei suspicious. How could this youth become a notorious seducer? At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, how did this child get through the fourteen years of his life in prison?

"You studied medicine? You even know my orchids? How did you learn this in there?" Gu Yufei suddenly wanted to know more details about Heaven's Blessing.

"It doesn't matter who I learn from. The important thing is that I'm not like you think. It's a pleasant surprise for me to see you and find the source of my life. But that doesn't mean that I have to cry and pounce into your arms to call you father, and then bear the hatred of those enemies when you run out of oil."

After saying that, Gu Tianyou simply spoke freely and continued, "Apart from your enemies, I believe that you have other children and relatives. Among them, there are brothers who started from scratch with you and couples who share your hardships. I guess they won't welcome me into your circle and take away anything that should belong to them."

Liang Bida once mentioned a woman. Perhaps he had lied at that time, but this woman definitely existed.

Gu Tianyou simply opened his mouth and said what he was thinking without any reservations.

Gu Yufei listened silently. At this moment, his heart was in turmoil 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, unable to express his pleasant surprise at this moment. Gu Tianyou's performance greatly exceeded his expectations. Originally, he thought that it was just a tool to inherit the clan, but suddenly, he realized that it was someone who seemed to be an outstanding successor to Blue?

"If you have a choice, I'd rather stay in there, and would not be deceived by Liang Bida before you, Look at you lying there powerlessly, If I hadn't seen you, "At the very least, I can imagine you living somewhere in the world. Perhaps mediocre, perhaps outstanding, perhaps hateful. Perhaps there is something you cannot say. But now, I can only accept the fact that my appearance is likely to accelerate your death. Most unfortunately, this fact destroyed my fantasy for sixteen years and allowed Liang Bida to achieve his goal."

These words made Gu Yufei feel as if he had been struck by lightning. He was overjoyed and even ecstatic. Under the stimulation of the huge surprise, he sat up excitedly and slowly extended his hand towards Gu Tianyou. He looked at Tianyou infatuatedly, and his eyes no longer had the self-confidence, sadness, and longing that he had before.

The simplest relationship in the world was between parents and children. If it could be simple, who would want to make the relationship so complicated? Gu Tianyou's appearance was caused by Liang Bida . This matter was a stone in Gu Yufei 's heart. Now that Gu Tianyou took the initiative to mention this person, it was equivalent to breaking this stone. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that his son had not been destroyed by 14 years of prison life, nor had he been deceived and exploited by that lowly man Liang Bida .

This terminally ill man looked at his tentacle-free son with tears in his eyes. There was no longer any suspicion or disgust from before. All that was left was deep hope and regret. "Child, I am your father. I have treated you wrongly all these years. Now, I do not beg your forgiveness. I only hope to hear you call me."

Gu Tianyou hesitated for a long time before he took a step forward and grabbed Gu Yufei 's skinny hand. The cold temperature and uncontrollable tremors were transmitted through this hand, and Gu Tianyou's cold heart couldn't help but tremble. He suddenly remembered that this person was my father. He was already terminally ill and was about to die.

Gu Tianyou held his two hands together to convey the warmth of each other. He was speechless for a long time, but Gu Tianyou still didn't call out his father.

"I'm very gratified. No matter what choice you make, I'm already satisfied to see such a person before I die." Gu Yufei felt the temperature in Tianyou's palm and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. His voice became slow and powerless, but it seemed to contain a sense of satisfaction. At this moment, his heart was already wide open. The father-son nature that he had purposely suppressed with reason earlier was completely revealed. "You are my son. Whether you accept it or not, you are my Gu Yufei's seed," he murmured.

He looked a little confused, He was almost stunned as he muttered endlessly, "you don 't have to recognize me as a father, That's not fair to you, But I have already recognized you as my Gu Yufei 's son, so I have to rethink how to arrange for you. I can't just take you back to the Wolong Pond. You're right, they won't accept you just taking you back. They can't do anything to you while I'm alive. If I die, they will definitely do everything they can to destroy you. "

People do not live a hundred years, often with a thousand years of worry.

Gu Yufei knew that time was running out. He had no hope for the things behind him, but he didn't expect the son brought back by his enemy to be more plastic than he imagined. For a moment, he only had one thought left in his mind, that is, he must arrange for the future of Heaven's Blessing. His mood was chaotic and he chattered endlessly. One moment, he said that he wanted to send Tianyou abroad, and another moment, he said that he wanted to arrange Tianyou to study in the capital. No matter what, his thoughts were not perfect, which satisfied him.

At this moment, Gu Yufei was just a father who had a difficult time with his worries. He no longer had the fierce temperament of a merchant that had settled down in the business world for decades.

Rational cognition can make the world circulate smoothly. Perceptual inspiration is the driving force to push the world forward.

At this moment, Gu Yufei 's undisguised true feelings made it difficult for Gu Tianyou to remain rational and calm. Even though there were 10,000 voices in his heart reminding him not to be emotional. "Don't bother, I'll go back to Wolong Pond with you!" He blurted out. And then unquestionably: "This is my own choice, if you want to go, I will go when you want to go, my life is up to you!"

Gu Yufei was overjoyed. He held Tianyou's hand, but he could not say much.

Gu Tianyou was slightly moved, "Father and son, if you plan to do this for me, I should at least do something for you as well. I'll accompany you through the final journey of your life."
