“That’s right. The Gu family must be united. Your uncle and nephew must progress together in the machine tool factory and help each other. There must be no internal strife!”

Old Master Gu showed his approval. His youngest son had become much more stable after joining the work force. Thinking about how his proudest grandson had actually cuckolded his youngest son, old master Gu felt a little guilty. He glared at Gu Jianshe angrily, he threw another teacup at him.

“Beast, kneel down!”

Gu Jianshe was so frightened that he knelt down. His knee was pressed against the porcelain plate. It hurt so much that he was trembling. He didn’t dare to move an inch. He gritted his teeth and held on.

“Let me ask you, what’s going on between you and Xu Bilian?”Old Master Gu asked sternly.

“Grandpa, Xu Bilian and I are innocent and have nothing to do with each other.”Gu Jianhe’s face was pale. Bean-sized sweat fell on the ground. His knee was in so much pain that it was about to break.

“Dad, Jianhe has already found a good partner. Only He Jihong’s stepdaughter, Chu Qiao, is going to get married in October. I’ve already talked to Jihong about it. What are you so angry about?”Zhu Yuzhen was worried to death. Her heart ached for her son’s suffering, she didn’t know what kind of anger the old man suddenly had.

Gu Ye was originally sitting and watching the show, but when he heard Chu Qiao’s name, he immediately sat up straight and glared at Gu Jianhe. He actually dared to dream of his little fairy. Did he have the gall to eat a bear’s heart and leopard’s Guts?

“Dad, Jianshe and Xu Bilian cheated on me? No wonder Xu Bilian wants to divorce me every day. I didn’t expect that the person who stole from me behind my back was actually my good nephew!”

Gu Ye said with a face full of grief. In the past, he only knew how to fight head-on with the old man and fell for Gu Jianshe’s many schemes. After he went to Team B, he finally understood that dealing with the crap at home also required scheming and acting to be pitiful, this was something that the old squad leader had taught him. He was also the biological father of the Zhou Dabao brothers.

The old squad leader had taught him a lot. He had taught him life-saving kung fu and life experience. In the end, he even lost his life in order to save him. He owed the old squad leader for the rest of his life.

“I didn’t, Grandpa. I really didn’t. Xu Bilian and I are innocent.”Gu Jianhe gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. He had already obtained the photos and the negative.

He was not worried that Gu ye would leave the negative. His uncle was very stupid. He would not leave the negative even if he said he would not. Because of his straightforward character, he had been schemed against many times since he was young. However, he refused to change every time he suffered a loss, he was an idiot.

“If you are innocent, how did Xu Bilian’s baby come about?”Grandfather Gu questioned angrily.

He had seen the note as well. Uncle he had shown it to him. He was so angry that his blood vessels almost burst. His nephew had stolen his uncle’s place. It would be embarrassing if word got out.

“It’s uncle’s. He’s Xu Bilian’s husband. It’s not very normal for Xu Bilian to have an uncle’s baby in her belly. What does it have to do with me?”Gu Jianhe cried out in injustice.

“Exactly. Dad, you can’t accuse Jianhe wrongly,”Zhu Yuzhen added.

Gu ye scoffed and said loudly, “I haven’t even touched Xu Bilian’s finger. How can she have my child in her stomach?”

“How can that be? You’re sleeping on the same bed. How can you endure it? We’ve been married for half a year. Who would believe what you’re saying?”Zhu Yuzhen mocked. How could a hot-blooded young man endure not sleeping with his wife?

Moreover, Xu Bilian was quite good-looking and had a full figure. A hot-blooded young man liked such a girl. She did not believe Gu ye’s nonsense.

“That’s right, uncle, you can’t just throw dirty water on me,”gu Jianshe said through gritted teeth.

However, he had just finished speaking when old master Gu’s expression changed. His face was full of anger. He picked up another Teacup and threw it at Gu Jianshe. The teacup hit Gu Jianshe’s forehead and fell to the ground, shattering all over the ground.

“Jianshe, how are you, Huh?”

Zhu Yuzhen looked at her son with heartache. Gu Jianshe’s forehead was covered in blood and his face was smeared all over. However, she only dared to blame her father-in-law in her heart and did not dare to show it. Her father-in-law was the backbone of the Gu family. Her entire family relied on the old man to support them, that was why they could live such a comfortable life. She did not dare to complain at all.

“Grandfather, I… Bilian and I are innocent.”

Gu Jianshe gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He was still trying to defend himself. He could not admit it. After all, the child was not born yet. As long as he did not give up, it would be fine.

Grandfather Gu’s expression became even uglier. Lin Yulan, who was beside him, also looked very disappointed. Gu Jianshe was the grandson that she had brought up. Although he was not her biological son, he was the one that she had the deepest feelings for. The energy that she had spent on Gu Jianshe.., was much more than her biological son, Gu Ye.

But now, Gu Jianshe had stolen her son’s side and made him a cuckold. Of course, Lin Yulan was unhappy. Although Gu Ye didn’t have a good relationship with her, she loved her son. However, the way she expressed her maternal love.., it was different from what Gu ye wanted. The relationship between mother and son was very stiff.

“Jianshe, Bilian also said that she and Xiao Ye are just a couple in name. The child in her belly can’t be Xiao Ye’s. It’s yours.”Lin Yulan’s voice was very gentle. She had always spoken like this.., it was as if she had never lost her temper.

Lin Yulan looked at her son with pity. Actually, Xu Bilian’s original words were not like this. She said it very harshly. She said that Gu ye was not good in that aspect, just like a eunuch. These words had spread throughout the courtyard. Now, everyone knew that her son was not good, lin Yulan was very heartbroken, but at the same time, she was even angrier. Her son was already in such a miserable state, yet gu Jianshe and Xu Bilian still wanted to bully her son. It was too much.

Gu Ye turned his head away, not wanting to look at his mother. His mother-son relationship with Lin Yulan was even thinner than a piece of paper. It would probably never get better in this lifetime, and he was already used to it.

Lin Yulan’s heart ached, and she looked hurt. She lowered her head. She knew why Xiao Ye was blaming her, but she was his stepmother. Lin Yin, Gu Jiefang’s biological mother, had been kind to her, and had entrusted the two brothers to her before she died, she had also promised to take good care of the two brothers, Jiefang and peace. She had to keep her word. Besides, so many eyes were watching her stepmother’s every word and action. She could only do her best to take care of the two brothers, and their child.

Xiao Ye was one year younger than Gu Jianshe, but his seniority was a generation lower. At that time, when the country was in difficult times, even families like theirs did not have enough food to feed themselves. Gu Jianshe had raised them by her side since they were young, lin Yulan always left the good ones to Gu Jianshe. She just did not want people to say that she was not a good step-grandmother and let others gossip about her.

Moreover, Gu Jianshe was a junior, and Xiao Ye was an elder. It was only right to give way. Lin Yulan felt that she did not do anything wrong, but her son resented her because of this. He had never been close to her, and this became the biggest pain in Lin Yulan’s heart.

Gu Ye felt his mother’s pain and discomfort. He laughed self-deprecatingly, and his expression became even colder. His mother had indeed done a good job and praised him, but all of this was because he had wronged his own son, why should he forgive this woman?

Grandfather Gu looked at his grandson, whose forehead was still bleeding, in disappointment. He still refused to admit it at this time. he shouted coldly, “I’ll ask you one last time. whose child is that?”

Gu Jianshe’s heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out on his back. However, he could not let go at this point. He had to bite him to death, so he said, “It’s uncle’s..”
