Chapter 1098: Chapter 1102 Written in Blood

Remembering Gu Junzhu’s pain that night, so severe he couldn’t even turn over, Ye Xingbei’s eyes reddened.

“It’s alright, that’s nothing,” Gu Junzhu said nonchalantly, “That kind of medicine, since it can lower sperm activity, might have other side effects on the body; it’s better not to take it.”

Ye Xingbei nestled in his arms, unsure of what to say.

She knew that although Gu Junzhu put on a tough front, dismissing it with one hand and saying he didn’t care with the other,

he was actually anxious.

He desperately wanted a child.

Not for himself, but for his father.

The Gu Family was dwindling in numbers, Senior Master Gu was aging, and he desperately wanted his father to see the third generation of the Gu Family.

He wanted to make his father happy, to bring joy to his father.

But now, both of them had come with excitement only to be met with this outcome.

From Gu Junzhu’s reaction, he was completely averse to that kind of medicine.

Even if it killed him with pain in the future, he would likely refuse to take that medicine again.

But how could she bear to see him suffer through such agony once more?

Suddenly, she thought of something and looked up at Gu Junzhu, “I remember the first time we met, didn’t you have a nephew named… named Gu Yuanfang?”

“Don’t mention him!” Gu Junzhu frowned in disgust, “He has nothing to do with our family.”

Ye Xingbei furrowed her brows, “But that day, I heard him call grandpa ‘Dad’ and you ‘Uncle…'”

Gu Junzhu coldly said, “That day he came to see dad, saying my elder brother had left him a will which stated that my brother had forgiven their mother and son, and asked my dad to take good care of them. Although my dad disliked their mother and son, to put my elder brother’s mind at ease, he took them in. But soon I discovered that the will in his hands was fake. I found the real will, in which my elder brother told my dad he could never forgive Gu Yuanfang and his mother; he didn’t have a son like Gu Yuanfang. After seeing the real will of my elder brother, my dad drove Gu Yuanfang out of the Gu Family.”

Ye Xingbei hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, “Your elder brother… How did your elder brother come to have an illegitimate child?”

Before, she had never asked about Gu Junzhu’s brothers and sisters.

She had also never heard anyone else mention it.

Senior Master Gu, having seen his children go before him–five in total, now only Gu Junzhu remained–this was the Gu Family’s taboo and also a wound in Gu Junzhu’s heart, which she had always carefully avoided, never touching this topic.

Senior Master Gu always spoke with immense pride about his children, always saying his children were the best.

She could never understand, if he was such an outstanding son, why would he have an illegitimate child?

Today, since the topic came up, she couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.

Gu Junzhu said indifferently, “My elder brother was tricked by that woman…”

He clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with intense hatred, “My brother and sister-in-law originally had a daughter, lively and lovely… but she died in an accident… It wasn’t until his death that my elder brother learned that his daughter was killed by Gu Yuanfang’s own mother!”

He gripped Ye Xingbei’s hand, unconsciously tightening his grip, his clear eyes flashing with streaks of red, “My elder brother’s will was written in his own blood. In his dying moments, he told my dad that both his sister-in-law and their daughter were killed by Gu Yuanfang’s mother. In his will, he told my dad he would never forgive that woman and her child. In his life, he had only one wife and one daughter, and Gu Yuanfang had no relation to him whatsoever!”
