This doesn't matter, because it all belonged to him.
He was taking back what was his, and there was nothing wrong with that.
As for revenge against Gu Yunfei?
Sorry, he didn't have the energy or time for that right now.
He needed to seize the opportunity to make money.
He wanted to buy a car, buy a house, and even planned to bring his sister along to enjoy a life of luxury and comfort.
For now, however, she would have to make do with living in a low-income housing unit.
He had to make money quickly so he could buy his sister a mansion as soon as possible, so she could live a life of ease and not be troubled by all this messy stuff.
...
Gu Yunfei left.
At home, only Gu Mingyang, Gu Qing, and Shi Xinxin remained.
Looking at Gu Mingyang's unfamiliar face, Shi Xinxin couldn't help but sigh, "Mingyang, I never expected you to be Mr. Gu's son."
Gu Mingyang said coldly, "I never expected to be his biological son either."
He paused and added, "I thought I was adopted, after all, I was born to my sister after she carried me for ten months."
"Silly child, what are you talking about?"
Shi Xinxin quickly covered Gu Mingyang's mouth and chided, "Don't talk nonsense. How could you be adopted? You are your sister's biological child."
"Then why didn't he raise me?" Gu Mingyang asked.
"This..."
Shi Xinxin fell silent.
Gu Yunfei had not raised Gu Mingyang, but she had.
She had not only raised Gu Mingyang but also provided for his food and clothing, paid his tuition fees, and ensured he received an education.
Gu Yunfei's failure to raise Gu Mingyang was largely due to her. She felt guilty and believed she had failed Gu Mingyang and her husband, who had passed away before their child was born.
Unfortunately, this was a secret only she knew, and no one would believe her.
"Sister, what's wrong? You're scaring me!"
Seeing Shi Xinxin's silence and worried expression, Gu Mingyang panicked.
He didn't want to lose his sister; he craved maternal love, so he needed to know the truth.
Shi Xinxin gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't mean to keep it from you, but the matter was too cruel, and I didn't dare to tell you."
"So, can I know the truth now?" Gu Mingyang pressed.
"Yes!"
"Then please tell me quickly," Gu Mingyang urged excitedly.
Shi Xinxin hesitated for a moment and then said, "At the time, the hospital diagnosed you with a congenital illness. Your father wanted to abandon you, fearing you would be a burden to your sister."
"But I couldn't bear it. I refused to let your father abandon you and insisted on taking you to the hospital for a check-up. The results confirmed you had a congenital illness, and I almost cried myself to death."
"But I had no choice but to spend money on treatment."
"However, the doctor said it wasn't a common illness and couldn't be cured by conventional means. You needed treatment from a renowned physician, but who could we ask?"
"After much thought, I thought of your sister. She was a master's student at a medical university, knowledgeable and skilled in medicine, and might be able to help."
"So, I contacted her and asked her to come to the hospital to see you. The result was..."
Shi Xinxin paused here, and Gu Mingyang impatiently asked, "And the result?"
"We met, and she turned out to be a kind-hearted woman who was willing to help us."
"Unfortunately, her medical skills were not very advanced, and she couldn't cure you. We had to rely on ourselves."
"We had no choice but to seek medical help everywhere. Finally, with her help, we found a miraculous old Chinese physician who cured your illness."
"His name was He Yimo, and he was my mentor."
"What a coincidence?"
"It is quite a coincidence. He was my senior at university, and we were once known as the golden couple on campus."
"I always regarded him as my idol, but I never imagined he would harm me, deceive me, sell me into the entertainment industry, and force me into prostitution."
"Mingyang, I really don't want to bring up these past events, but I'm afraid you'll go astray, so I'm telling you this."
"Sister, don't worry, I won't go astray. I will only become more and more outstanding."
"Outstanding? Are you sure?"
Shi Xinxin questioned, "Gu Yunfei may be a scoundrel, but that doesn't mean he's incompetent. How will you surpass him?"
"Heh heh!!"
Gu Mingyang sneered, "He's nothing. I can crush him with a single kick. He's not worthy of competing with me."
"This..."
Shi Xinxin was stunned.
She didn't believe it, nor did she want to, because Gu Mingyang had never lied since he was a child. So, how could he possibly surpass Gu Yunfei?
But if that wasn't the case, where did Gu Mingyang get the confidence to say such things? Could it be that Gu Mingyang had some hidden trump card?
She asked worriedly, "Mingyang, what trump card do you have? Tell your sister quickly, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what? Otherwise, I'll ignore you and let you starve on the streets? Freeze to death on the streets? Die without a burial place?" Gu Mingyang interrupted Shi Xinxin.
Shi Xinxin was speechless because that was precisely what she had in mind.
She thought Gu Mingyang should obey her and stay at Gu Yunfei's place obediently, leaving only after Gu Yunfei grew tired of her.
Instead of running back now and fighting her for custody.
Of course, she could also ignore him and let Gu Mingyang fend for himself, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
She was not only Gu Mingyang's sister but also his guardian. She had to be responsible, or she would have a guilty conscience.
She sighed and continued, "Mingyang, I admit my initial thoughts were not good, but I know I was wrong. I don't want to lose you, and I certainly don't want Gu Yunfei to kill you."
"Mingyang, I beg you, come home with me. Let's go back to Jiangcheng!"
"Back to Jiangcheng?"
"Yes!"
Shi Xinxin said solemnly, "Mingyang, sister begs you, come with me!"
"Come with you?"
"Yes!"
Shi Xinxin nodded affirmatively and continued, "Mingyang, do you know why I married your father back then?"
"Why?"
"Don't you remember? My father was a soldier. Before he joined the army, he said he would be a soldier his whole life and would never marry."
"I know."
"Then do you know why I insisted on marrying your father?"
"For money."
"Exactly!"
"Do you know how much your father earned each year?"
"Didn't they say it was millions?"
"That was a conservative estimate. The actual figure was fifty million."
"Ah!"
Gu Mingyang exclaimed in surprise.
"I knew you'd be shocked. I was shocked when I first heard the news."
"But that's not all."
"Besides his fixed salary, your father also received dividends, which was his main source of income."
"And from what I know, Gu Yunfei has other businesses. His annual income is far more terrifying than this."
Gu Mingyang asked confusedly, "If that's the case, why did he give you away? Why?"
Shi Xinxin shook her head and said, "Sister doesn't know either, but I guess he might have thought your father was incompetent and feared he would drag him down."
