Chapter 757 - His Original Intention
Chapter 757: His Original Intention
Shen Qianshu was startled. But Ye Ling had said it so seriously. She was about to reply when Ah Xi walked over and said, “Missy, Old Master wants to see you.”
“Alright!”
Shen Qianshu tried to appease Ye Ling as she held his hand. “Let’s talk when we go home.”
Second Old Master Gu’s villa was not very far from Gu Yuanli’s villa. There was a little cobblestone road. Shen Qianshu followed Ah Xi and walked slowly. Suddenly, she asked a question. “Ah Xi, how long have you been with Second Master?”
“Many years. When I was five years old, I was already with the Gu Family.”
“Many years indeed.” Shen Qianshu smiled. “What kind of person is he?”
“Old Master is a good person.”
“Yeah, my family’s Master is also a good person.” Shen Qianshu told a lame joke. Luckily, Ah Xi understood her lame joke, and he laughed. “Missy, Old Master really loves you a lot. He also loves the young masters.”
“But he nearly beat Shifu to death.”
“It’s because Old Master knows Missy’s identity,” Ah Xi said. “Old Master has been very repressed these few days. It may be because he is too furious and that he wants to find somewhere to vent it out. If Second Master had said something earlier, you could have come home earlier. You wouldn’t get involved with Ye Ling, and it wouldn’t result in the outcome today. Old Master is angry.”
She had indeed guessed correctly. It was because of her.
Ah Xi’s words were not considered a lot. Second Old Master Gu sat beside the water lily and looked like he was in a daze. Except for the sinister look just now, he had resumed the look of a benevolent middle-aged person. That scene of rage seemed like it had never appeared before.
“Second Old Master.”
“Sit.”
Ah Xi went to bring tea. Shen Qianshu sat down and looked at him. She did not look like Second Old Master. There were also no similarities between her and Fang Hongxiu. No matter how one looked, she did not seem to look like their daughter.
However, in this world, there were many cases of children who did not look like their parents.
“Sorry to have let you seen the bad side of Father.”
“It’s alright,” Shen Qianshu said. “Shifu did not do anything wrong. You shouldn’t beat him like that.”
“You actually don’t blame him?”
“No, I don’t,” Shen Qianshu said. “Why should I blame him?”
“He already knew your real identity when you were 15 years old. Oh, no, he already knew when you were a few years old. But he had been hiding it. If he had told me earlier, I could have brought you home when you were very young. You could also reunite with Fangfang earlier, and you wouldn’t be wandering outside for so many years.”
“Second Old Master, honestly speaking, is being Ghost City’s little princess really so lucky?”
“What did you say?”
“I am very sorry. I was separated from you since young. However, I never lacked fatherly and motherly love since young. I grew up carefreely. Actually, I lived very happily during those 15 years. After that, although I had some adversities, compared to many people, I was considered lucky. I overcame them and also stood steady on my feet. Regardless of where I am or whose daughter I am, I can live my life very well. Hence, you should be very happy.”
“But if I become your daughter, I cannot imagine what kind of life I should be living. Can I grow up safely? Will Black Rose let me off? I will not have a carefree childhood. I will only have days of fear and worry. Second Brother did it for my good. Even if the method was not correct, his original intention was not to hurt me,” Shen Qianshu explained.
“Are you unwilling to be my daughter?”
“No!” Shen Qianshu did not hesitate. “I am willing, but I do not feel that Shifu has done anything wrong.”
