Chapter 2347 - Learning the truth

Gu Yu’s mind was in a mess as he sat in the study in a daze. He felt that the truth he had known in the past was just a superficial layer.

The truth was actually so cruel. Then, was Shen Feng’s perception true or was it what Charles had said?

After some time, when Gu mo finally came back to his senses, the sky outside the window had darkened. She rubbed her sore neck and stood up, almost falling down.

Fortunately, she didn’t fall down because she had her hands on the table. She closed her eyes and rested for a while before she came back to her senses. Suddenly, a ringtone disrupted her thoughts. She looked at the familiar number on her phone and picked up the call.

“There are no traces of Shen Feng.” A deep voice came from the phone, calm and cold.

Gu Yu’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly realized that the truth was getting closer to what Charles had said, but it was not the truth she wanted to hear.

“Continue to investigate.” Gu Yu gritted his teeth and hung up the phone. His fingers gripped the phone tightly and there was no response for a long time.

He waited for another day and night, and that familiar phone rang again.

“He left half a year ago. He went abroad. As for where he went, it’s hard to find out in a short time.” What the person on the other end of the phone didn’t say was that once he went abroad, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would be difficult to find him.

This time, Gu mo really believed what Charles said.

He immediately took a car to the Count’s Manor. When he arrived, the count was already waiting in the hall. In front of him was a complete tea set, and a cup of hot tea was placed opposite him.

It was obviously prepared for the guest, Gu Yu.

Gu Yu said as he walked,””You knew I would come to you?”

Hearing this, Charles still didn’t look up. Instead, he slowly added more tea and took a sip. When he saw that the person was sitting in front of him, he said,””There are some things that you don’t believe. Even if you believe 30% of it, you still have 70% of your suspicions. You must have investigated it today, and the results were not to your satisfaction, right?”

Gu Yu looked a little embarrassed. Seeing the glint in count Charles’s cloudy eyes, he unconsciously looked away. As expected of Charles. Not everyone had the ability to see through people’s minds.

“Indeed, but what I found out wasn’t the truth. Shen Feng had left the country half a year ago and there’s no news of him at all. Even if I wanted to find out, I wouldn’t be able to get a result in a short time.” Gu Yu voiced out his thoughts.

Sensing the awkwardness in the air, Gu Yu picked up his teacup and took a sip to ease the awkwardness. He continued,””I want to know everything about the past.”

Count Charles glanced at Gu Yu. He knew that the Gu Yu sitting in front of him was no longer the self he used to be. At least he could sit down quietly and listen to him tell the truth.

Even though their time was limited, the man did not intend to start from the beginning. Instead, he only told them what Shen Feng had done to the three children.

Even so, more than an hour had passed unknowingly. Gu Yu’s expression turned from relaxed to ashen. She had never thought that Shen Feng would be so cruel and do so many crazy things.

What was even more difficult for her to accept was that she had been bewitched. If Charles hadn’t reminded her in time and she hadn’t investigated it out of worry, she wouldn’t have known that there were so many inside stories.

“When did you find out all this?” “What’s going on?” Gu Yu asked after he had drunk several cups of tea and finally calmed down.

“From the start, although I didn’t participate, I’ve been with her.” Charles sighed as he spoke.

If it was possible, he did not want her to go through so much. Ji Ziming, too. These two children were really suffering.

When Gu mo returned home, his three friends were still up and having fun with the maid. When they turned around and saw her, they also welcomed her with big smiles.

“Grandma, you’re back.” An an was the first to call out to him. The two kids looked at her as well, but compared to the two kids ‘excitement, the boy was a little colder.

Other than PEI GE and Ji Ziming, he usually had the same expression on his face and did not show much emotion.

“Grandma isn’t here. Have you guys been good? oh my, grandma’s precious babies. You’re so lovely.” Gu mo went up to hug his two kids and pulled Ji Chi to his side with one hand. Although he was calling them ‘darling’, he felt a little upset inside.

“My younger brother and sister are all very obedient. Grandma, where have you been? did someone bully you? I’ll help you teach him a lesson.” An an was the first to notice Gu Yu’s return. Naturally, she also noticed her carefully adjusting her expression and felt a little uneasy.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just felt a little stuffy in the car when I came back just now, so I rolled down the window. My eyes are red from the wind. Have you eaten? I’ll eat with you, okay?” Gu Yu made up an excuse with his usual expression.

Although an an knew that Gu Yu was not telling the truth, she did not expose her lie and answered cooperatively.

At this moment, a servant walked over and said with a smile,””Madam, you’re back a little late. The young masters and young mistresses have already had dinner. You haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll go and make you one now.”

Seeing that she was about to turn around and go to the kitchen, Gu Yu stopped her and indicated that there was no need for that. She did not have much of an appetite.

With something on his mind, Gu mo did not have the energy to play around with his kids. He got someone to take care of them, so they washed up and went to bed while he went to the study.

After a moment of silence, she decided to call Ji Ziming.

A moment later, the call went through, and his deep and magnetic voice came through.””Is there something?”

Gu mo originally wanted to ask about Shen Feng, but he changed his words when the words reached his mouth.””You’ve long wanted to tell me about Shen Feng’s matter, right?”

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, but it was this moment of silence that made Gu mo realize that she had been too stubborn in the past and had always insisted on what she wanted to, but things never developed according to her will.

It was not hard to imagine how much he had suffered because of her stubbornness. He spoke to Gu mo on the other end of the phone in a heavy voice,””I’m sorry,”she said.

“This isn’t your fault, it’s Shen Feng ‘s.” Ji Ziming knew that the man must have known the truth of the matter, and everything else was no longer important.
