Gu Qingyan stretched out his hand again. Unlike before, this time he held her hand firmly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear and refused to let go.
He took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice, "I only learned the truth recently. It was not the shooter from Country M who hired someone to hurt you. She was also framed. In fact, the real murderer behind the scenes was my half-brother.
, Gu Chongyuan."
Hearing this, Qiao Ran was shocked. His words completely subverted her understanding.
What she had thought was the truth for a long time turned out to be nothing like that at all.
"Gu Chongyuan? Why did he do this? What is the relationship between me and him? There is no grievance or enmity, why does he insist on harming me?" Qiao Ran was puzzled.
"His goal is not you, his goal has been me from the beginning. You are just a cover for him. He knows that I like you, and he also knows that with my character, I will definitely turn against the Gu family for you. And he wants to use this
This is an opportunity to gain the real power of the Gu family. Therefore, he has been secretly looking for someone to follow me and keep track of all my whereabouts, as well as your movements." Gu Qingyan explained.
"He knew that the shooters from Country M were hostile to you, and they were talking nonsense outside, saying that they wanted to find someone to beat you, so he took advantage of it and pretended to hire a killer in her name to attack you. In fact, the killer's real purpose was when I showed up.
, take my life. Because he knows that once the gangster attacks you, I will never stand idly by. So the killer just uses you as bait, and the real purpose is to push me off the cliff. So, I broke my legs and followed you
It has nothing to do with it. It's not your responsibility. I didn't get hurt trying to save you. This is what I should bear." "Of course, I'm sorry. This was originally a power struggle within my Gu family, but you were innocent and implicated in it.
.As a result, you were not able to participate in the finals of the World Championships and stand on the podium that you dreamed of. And in order to take care of me, you gave up your beloved shooting. Every time I think about it, my heart hurts so much that I can't breathe."
As he spoke, he held her hand tightly, unable to help but tremble slightly, and his clear eyes showed endless sadness.
He loved her heroic appearance on the field the most, which attracted him so deeply that he couldn't extricate himself. But he didn't expect that in the end, it would be him who personally destroyed her dreams and her glory. After all, he was the one who dragged her down. And he,
He also selfishly took up two years of her youth and took advantage of her guilt to keep her by his side.
Qiao Ran was silent, his head was buzzing, and it was difficult to digest what he said for a while.
The responsibility and guilt that once weighed on her like a mountain told her one day that it was not her fault at all. She had mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't tell what she was feeling.
"It's actually your brother who wants to harm you..." She frowned deeply. Although she had heard about it and read the news in gossip magazines, for the sake of profit, wealthy families killed brothers and relatives turned against each other, but it was true.
It was still unbelievable that it happened to her. She grew up in an orphanage. She had no idea who her parents were, and she had no brothers or sisters. She desperately longed for family affection, but she didn't expect that for Gu Qingyan, family affection would be fatal.
of.
"Yes. My brother Gu Chongyuan is an illegitimate son. His mother did not marry my father. So... I know that in this day and age, the distinction between legitimate sons and daughters is too ridiculous. But my father is
Old-fashioned and persistent, my mother came from a famous family. After I was born, my father naturally designated me as the heir. As for my brother Gu Chongyuan, although he had no worries about food and clothing and allowed him to work in Gu's Bank, my father never
I mentioned letting him inherit the family business. My brother has had a strong personality since he was a child and could not tolerate his father's bigotry. In the end, he took the risk and wanted to kill me."
After Gu Qingyan finished speaking, he pursed his thin lips and pulled Qiao Ran's hand towards him.
"Of course, I owe you actually. I made you suffer. I want to make up for all this. Believe me, the me now is no longer the me before. I will handle everything well and will never let you suffer any more."
Grieved." He looked at Qiao Ran sincerely, hoping to get even the slightest response from her eyes.
At this time, Qiao Ran recalled the news he saw on TV not long ago.
"It is reported that Gu's Bank has recently undergone major personnel adjustments. The original person in charge, Gu Zhongyuan, the eldest son of Gu, has stepped down and Gu Qingyan, the direct son of the Gu family, will serve as the chief CEO."
It seems that the Gu family has ended this internal battle, Gu Chongyuan has stepped back to the second line, and Gu Qingyan has officially taken power. No wonder, Gu Qingyan has moved from behind the scenes to the stage.
"How did you heal your leg?" Qiao Ran asked and fell into silence again. She didn't want to know too much about the Gu family's dispute.
Seeing that she remained silent, Gu Qingyan continued, "I'm sorry, I know that you were running around and working to make money to raise funds to heal my leg. It's all my fault that I gave up on myself and felt discouraged. In fact, this is
For more than two years, Gu Chongyuan has been keeping an eye on our movements. He knew that you were seeking medical treatment everywhere, so he kept setting up obstacles for you. In fact, my legs have already met the conditions for surgery, but he has been secretly stumbling to hinder you."
"At that time, I suddenly disappeared in St. Mary's Hospital. I know this hit you hard and must have deeply hurt you, because I know very well how much effort you put into this. I'm sorry, this is not mine.
The original intention was that I was kidnapped by someone from Gu Chongyuan. He didn’t want my surgery to be successful, so he sent someone to do it.”
Gu Qingyan simply told the whole truth. It was rare that Qiao Ran was willing to sit down and listen to him quietly.
"Were you kidnapped by Gu Zhongyuan?" Qiao Ran whispered. She never expected that it would be like this.
She always thought that Gu Qingyan was angry because he saw her and Zuo Chenye together and knew that she and Zuo Chenye were "married", so he disappeared on purpose and refused to undergo surgery. It turned out that he was kidnapped.
"Yes. My mobile phone is also missing, so I haven't been able to contact you again." He sighed softly, with endless regret.
"No wonder I can't contact you no matter how hard I look or call you." At this moment, Qiao Ran finally felt relieved.
She always thought that it was she who made Gu Qingyan despair and that was why he refused to undergo surgery.
When she knew it was not her responsibility, she felt relieved.
