Chapter 437: 437 I'm No Longer Song Yun
Chapter 437: Chapter 437 I’m No Longer Song Yun
Lin Nansheng was well-known in the business world, and he had a wide network of acquaintances, so many people came to show their support.
During an interview with a reporter, he openly acknowledged that Song Yun was his long-lost biological daughter.
The reporter then asked him,
“What about the Miss Jiang you mentioned earlier? Is she your biological daughter? Is she the Lin Family’s precious daughter?”
Lin Nansheng’s gaze turned to me.
I looked at him with encouraging eyes.
Only then did he steadfastly and calmly answer,
“She is not. Jiang Jiaying was a misunderstanding…”
His ability to speak the truth so calmly showed he had overcome his inner demons.
Presumably, Jiang Jiaying was also watching this scene in front of the TV, wondering what she was feeling.
Today, the male guests who attended were basically all in black suits; if I weren’t paying close attention,
I wouldn’t have noticed Gu Yuanzhou’s appearance.
Actually, by this time, the funeral had already ended.
The guests usually leave after the eulogy.
Only a few close relatives wait until the ashes are buried before leaving.
And by then, the tombstone was prepared.
And I was also sitting in Lin Nansheng’s car, ready to leave.
Looking through the car window, I initially thought the figure in the black suit was just another guest, until I saw the toy in his hand.
He looked calm and was very focused as he presented flowers to two children.
Unlike the other guests, he also brought toys for both his daughter and son.
For his daughter, it was a strawberry bear, even the bouquet was wrapped like lollipops.
For his son, he had Transformers among others…
Seeing these toys, tears suddenly streamed down.
Only a father would know the favorites of these children.
From these toys, I could actually confirm it was Gu Yuanzhou.
However, reason told me it wasn’t the right moment to acknowledge each other, so I remained calm.
Moreover, if I acted impulsively, I might startle the snake, and if he decided to deny recognition, I would have no recourse.
I suppressed that impulse with great difficulty.
I didn’t even tell Lin Nansheng but instead said to him,
“Uncle Lin, I seem to have left something at the funeral home. You go ahead, I’ll take a taxi back after I get my thing.”
“Okay!”
Lin Nansheng didn’t suspect anything and drove off.
Meanwhile, I quietly watched from the other side of the cemetery…
Gu Yuanzhou stayed alone in the cemetery for a long time.
He stretched out his hand to touch the tombstone, muttering something softly to himself.
From his expression, I could see his attachment and reluctance; his affection for the two children seemed very deep.
He couldn’t bring himself to leave for a long time.
It wasn’t until dusk fell and his whole body was soaked by the rain that he slowly moved towards the last black sedan in the parking lot.
I knew there was a shortcut leading to the mountain road below, which would allow for a quick arrival.
The muddy mountain path was difficult to traverse, but I didn’t give up, stumbling forward all the way.
In just over ten minutes, I arrived at the foot of the mountain by the road.
This road ended at the cemetery, so there wasn’t much traffic normally, especially now in the rain at dusk.
There were very few vehicles on the road.
So, when the headlights lit up in the distance, I knew it was his car coming.
I walked directly to the middle of the road, extending my arms to intercept.
On this two-lane mountain road, with me standing in the middle, he had virtually nowhere to dodge.
Then came the sharp sound of brakes.
The car came to a stop right at the tips of my toes.
Almost at the moment it stopped, the person inside pushed the car door open and rushed out.
“What’s wrong with you, standing in the middle of the road at night, are you trying to get yourself killed?”
I looked up at the man, his anger reaching the sky.
After a long while, I said with reddened eyes,
“Gu Yuanzhou, you’ve deceived me so badly!”
He had his hands in his pockets, droplets falling from his wet hair down his face, tracing his jawline before dropping off.
The rain mist filled the air, wetting his eyelashes, and he just stared at me blankly.
I wasn’t in much better shape than he was.
I was wearing a black trench coat that was also completely soaked. I had come down the mountain road in a hurry and had even taken a fall.
I was now covered in mud, looking a complete mess.
Thinking about all the days I worried and feared for him, enduring so much injustice, I couldn’t control myself and tears streamed down.
I reached out and grabbed his sleeve as if worried he would run away in the next second.
“Gu Yuanzhou, your heart is so cruel! You’re not dead, are you? Why did you deceive me? Why did you make me bear it all alone? Why are you so heartless?”
Rain gathered on Gu Yuanzhou’s face then slowly slid off; he kept staring at me, silent for a long time before he finally spoke,
“You standing in the middle of the street like that is very dangerous. What if I hadn’t stopped the car in time and you had died?”
“Dangerous, you say? You actually know it’s dangerous? If you knew, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
His Adam’s apple moved as his eyes flickered with light. He watched me and at last said,
“You’re mistaken, I am not the person you are looking for.”
I was shocked.
Rage brewed inside me.
In broad daylight, my eyes aren’t blind; he is clearly Gu Yuanzhou.
He actually denied it!
This time, he didn’t even try to avoid it; he denied it outright in front of me.
I couldn’t believe my eyes, and I dared not trust my ears.
I stepped forward and placed my hands on his cheeks.
They were warm!
I then reached for his heart, feeling his heartbeat, beating very strongly.
“You’re alive, you’re warm, I am not blind right now! Tell me, personally tell me, are you Gu Yuanzhou or not?”
His dark eyes fixed on me, and after a long while, his lips moved with difficulty and spat out two words.
“No.”
“If you’re not Gu Yuanzhou, then who are you?”
“Who I am doesn’t matter anymore. What’s important is, could you please step aside, my car needs to pass through here.”
His attitude was also to the extreme of coldness.
Actually, when I saw Gu Yuanzhou at the cemetery just now, I was still thinking.
If I could meet him and have a good talk before I went abroad for the surgery, catch up properly, say a proper goodbye.
If I really died, there’d be no regrets.
But I didn’t expect him to have this attitude.
His attitude made my heart suddenly feel dead; I lost all desire to communicate with him.
I silently moved to the side of the road, “Okay, if you’re not Gu Yuanzhou, then go!”
Just as he turned to leave, I said two more sentences,
“This is your last chance, if you don’t admit you’re Gu Yuanzhou. From now on, I will no longer be Song Yun either.”
