So thatās how it was...
So, Gu Xi, knowing all this, was told about it by the elders. She didnāt know the true facts.
That is to say, there might be hidden truths here as well.
"Xixi, you said your fourth uncle was quite good to you before, didnāt you?"
"Yes," Gu Xi nodded, "But I canāt remember clearly, I was little then. I vaguely remember my fourth uncle was a nice guy, he used to come to our place for meals often. Mom and dad liked him too, sometimes he would stay at our house."
"Do you hate him?"
"I donāt know..." Gu Xi bowed her head, "They all despise him, so I..."
"Xixi, youāre no longer a little child now, you should understand some things, right?"
At the age of fifteen, she no longer considered herself a kid. She had grown up in the welfare institution, where her mentality was more mature than her peers. She differed from Gu Xi, who had been pampered from an early age and never had any worries. She was still a little princess, untouched by worldly matters.
"Sometimes the truth is in the hands of a few, just because they are many does not mean they are right. Donāt just believe in what you see, ask your heart, in your opinion, would your fourth uncle hurt your mother and father?"
"I donāt know..." Gu Xi became a little anxious, "The company was originally taken over by my dad, he had a reason to harm my dad. My dad died and he became the CEO."
Eleven didnāt pressure her anymore, patting her on the shoulder: "Donāt worry about it, these are adult matters, they have nothing to do with you. They shouldnāt involve you."
Gu Xi was their eldest brotherās orphan, no matter what, she wouldnāt be dragged into the war.
Gu Xi thought for a while, then stopped her: "Aunt, why are you so interested in his affairs? You seem to know him well. My third uncle told me the same thing, why do you believe he wouldnāt hurt my parents?"
"Just a hunch."
Gu Tianyu was still waiting outside, probably afraid she would run away.
But he didnāt take her back to the private room. Seeing Gu Xi come out, he told her, "Xixi, you go home first. Your aunt and I wonāt be returning."
"Oh... then Third Uncle, will Auntie come on Grandpaās big birthday?"
"Does Xixi like auntie?" Gu Tianyu asked.
She nodded her head: "Yes, I quite like Auntie, I feel like I can chat a lot with her."
"Okay, then your Auntie will definitely come."
After saying hello to them, Gu Xi left.
As soon as Gu Xi left, Eleven said: "What gives you the right to tell her I will definitely go?"
"Wait and see."
"..." Is he planning on bringing her over like he did today?
"What did you talk about with Xixi?"
"Nothing. Third Young Master, Iāve finished my meal, can I go now?"
"So hurried, the dessert is not served yet."
...
Instead of having dessert, Eleven knew from the beginning that it would definitely not be as simple as inviting her for dessert.
"Actually, we both know that the car accident didnāt do anything to him, he just hid and didnāt see anyone. Do you think heās afraid because Iāve returned?" Gu Tianyu smiled, looking at her.
"Afraid?" Eleven also smiled, "Third Young Master, you understand your brother better than I do, right? Do you think he would be afraid?"
In front of an unfamiliar Gu Tianyu, Eleven unhesitatingly took a stand with Gu Liancheng.
