Stand Awakening: We are all wealthy, who can fall in love?

Chapter 249 Lan Nian’s Adoptive Father

Jiang Yu sat down, his face becoming very serious. "Yes, it is. This matter is quite complicated. It involves something that happened many years ago. Let me tell you slowly."

"I asked my father, and it turns out that Mr. Gu of the Gu family had two children. That means Mr. Gu has a brother, but they have the same father but different mothers."

"Half-sisters?" Bai You was surprised. "Then what is the probability that they look similar?"

Jiang Yu: "Their mothers look almost the same."

"Ah?!" Chu Yi was shocked. "How can they look the same? Are their mothers twin sisters?"

Jiang Yu shook his head: "I don't know, probably not."

If this were the case, there would have been gossip, but there wasn't.

"Has anyone seen Mr. Gu's half-brother? Do they look similar?" Bai You asked.

Jiang Yu replied: "Very similar."

Bai You's eyes lit up, "So the person Chu Yi met might not be Mr. Gu, but Mr. Gu's brother, right?"

Jiang Yu said: "The possibility is very high."

Bai You: "Why?"

Jiang Yu: "Listen to me. Gu Lao's father first married Gu Lao's mother. Not long after giving birth to a child, Gu Lao's mother died unexpectedly. At this time, Gu Lao's father brought back a woman from outside, who was the mother of Gu Lao's brother. He also brought back a child who was about the same age and looked similar to Gu Lao."

Chu Yi was shocked: "This is too ridiculous, which means that the two are about the same age."

Jiang Yu: "Yes, they are about the same age, but the outside world doesn't know who is older. I'm afraid only Mr. Gu's father and they themselves know."

Chu Yi: "So the relationship between the two is not good?"

Jiang Yu: "Yes, they are as hostile as fire and water. But I heard from my father that Gu Lao's brother is extremely talented, very smart and gentle, and he doesn't seem to like to compete with Gu Lao. However, given their identities, they couldn't get along peacefully from the beginning, so the conflict between the two lasted from their youth to middle age."

"In their middle age, both of them joined the Gu Group and held important positions in the group. The conflict broke out completely at that time. Although the Gu brothers did not fight, Gu Lao always believed that he was an illegitimate child, and that it was his mother who helped him kill his mother and destroyed his family. At that time, the Gu brothers married and had children and had their own families. They lived a happy life, and Gu Lao's father actually intended to let Gu Lao's brothers inherit the company and control the overall situation."

"Except for his unknown identity, Mr. Gu's brother was a gifted child in all other aspects. But a few years later, something happened. His wife was kidnapped while she was out, along with her child. An accident occurred during the rescue, and the kidnappers died in an explosion along with the wife and child."

"Losing a wife and a son?" Bai You asked.

"Yes." Jiang Yu said: "Not only that, but later on his position in the company was demoted again and again, and he became a marginal figure."

"What happened next?" Chu Yi was curious.

"Later, I heard that he also had an accident, a car accident, and fell into the sea."

"Ah?" Bai You and Chu Yi fell into an eerie silence. After several seconds, Chu Yi spoke tremblingly, "So the person is dead, and it's not him?"

Bai You frowned and asked, "Where's the body?"

Jiang Yu said: "The body was not found, but the Gu family announced his death to the public. He drowned after the car accident."

Bai You: "Is it possible that the person is not dead?" Jiang Yu: "It is possible."

"If it was really him, what was his purpose? Bai You propped up his chin and asked, "Why did he come to Pingfan Island alone and live in the castle? Was the death of his wife and children related to Mr. Gu? Was Mr. Gu's death related to him?"

Jiang Yu: "When his wife and children got into trouble, he did suspect Old Gu, so after that, he no longer backed down like before, but fought against Old Gu to the death."

After listening to this, Bai You didn't know who was right or wrong, and he also understood part of the reason why Mr. Gu had such a bad temper.

but……

"How can we be sure this person is him?"

Jiang Yu said: "Chu Yi went to a very luxurious place in the castle. The reason he didn't meet anyone along the way might not be because there was no one guarding the place or because he was lucky. There is a very important reason, which may be that no one dares to go there."

Since no one dares to go there, there is no need for anyone to look after it.

"Because the way to get on the island is also very strict. Generally speaking, outsiders cannot go up, unless they are specially invited like us and have someone to lead the way. Otherwise, it is difficult to set foot on the island. People on the island can come down, but people below the island are not allowed to go up. This means that some of the island's systems should be known to people above and have been abiding by them. So we can infer that the place Chu Yi went to is actually a place that no one dares to go to on weekdays. So this can explain why he was not discovered, because that person would not expect outsiders to come to his room."

Chu Yi suddenly realized something, "So that's how it is, Jiang Shao, I think your inference makes sense."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Jiang Yu continued, "The fact that he can live in the castle shows that he has a very high status in Pingfan Island and is quite feared. It is not that simple to find out whether he is related to the Gu family and whether he is the person we guessed."

Chu Yi: "Why?"

Bai You: "He will hide his identity."

"Yes." Jiang Yu said: "He will hide his identity. He will not easily tell others his real identity, let alone let others know who he is. So his current identity is very likely a fake new identity. The people on the island, even Lan Nian, may not know it better than us."

Bai You nodded, "You are right."

Chu Yi: "So what should we do now?"

Jiang Yu: "Actually, after hearing what you said, I already have some guesses in my mind."

Chu Yi: "What guess?"

"The head of the family on Pingfan Island is named Xie, and the wife of Mr. Gu's brother is also named Xie."

Chu Yi was surprised and said, "Young Master Jiang, you mean that the old man I met is the half-brother of Old Gu, and not only that, he is also the head of the Xie family?!"

Jiang Yu: "Yes, the owner of the castle is surnamed Xie, that is, Lan Nian's adoptive father Xie Rufeng."

"What? He is also Lan Nian's adoptive father?" Chu Yi asked.

"Ah."

Speaking of this adoptive father, Bai You had some impression of him. Of course, these impressions were gained when Du Ying was cursing people.

I heard that Lan Nian listens to his adoptive father very much and would accept even punishment. It's strange that such a crazy and rebellious person like Lan Nian would listen to others so much.
