834: Chapter 834 Acknowledging Ancestry and Returning to the Clan Part 1 Update (5) 834: Chapter 834 Acknowledging Ancestry and Returning to the Clan Part 1 Update (5) “Mm, I know…
I’ve already arranged for a spokesperson to deny it.”
Gu Wei spoke bluntly.
Han Siming was more obedient and sensible than Gu Mochen, but he was not cut out for great things.
Gu Mochen was the one who could achieve big things, while Han Siming might not be able to.
Therefore…
when choosing an heir, Gu Mochen was the obvious choice.
Han Siming: “…”
Han Siming didn’t expect Gu Wei to speak so cleanly and directly; his voice was a bit hoarse, and he couldn’t hold back from asking, “Dad…
why do you have to do this?
I am your son, an undeniable fact, so why deny it?”
Gu Wei glanced lightly at Han Siming, who was somewhat unwilling before him.
At first, he was willing to put on a smile, feign affection, and coax a few words, but now he completely lacked the mood.
“Heh, you’re actually asking me why?
Siming…
have you even considered the grand deeds your mother has done?
My face is almost entirely lost because of her.”
“Hmph…
Now the Gu Family’s reputation has plummeted because of Dong Qin.
If I admit you are my illegitimate son at this time, where would my dignity go?
Do you want to completely tarnish the Gu Family’s reputation?”
Han Siming: “…”
The man talking is his father, but the greatest concerns in his words are himself and the Gu Family.
Han Siming felt like he wasn’t even considered as an object.
Resentful, Han Siming continued, “Dad, but I’m your son.
When you do this, have you considered my feelings?
I am also a member of the Gu Family…
and now I can’t return to my ancestral roots.”
Gu Wei snorted lightly and irritably raised his hand to interrupt Han Siming’s words, speaking coldly.
“Siming…
blame your mother for this kind of thing, after all…
you are an illegitimate child, she caused this…
She was unfaithful in her marriage, couldn’t endure the loneliness.”
“Now that things have come to this point, Siming, I’m not going to hide it anymore…
In the Gu Family, the true heir, the crown prince, the legitimate grandson, there is only Gu Mochen.
So…
the matter of returning to your roots, you can forget it…
After all, recognizing you means acknowledging the fact that I was unfaithful in my marriage and had an illegitimate child, which would be catastrophically damaging to both my and the Gu Family’s reputation.”
Han Siming: “…”
Han Siming looked at the man before him, who spouted righteousness, but when faced with an issue, only considered his own selfish interests, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
His own father…
Yet so cold-blooded.
Han Siming collapsed weakly onto the sofa, it took him quite some time to recover from Gu Wei’s indifferent words.
Seeing Han Siming’s ashen face, Gu Wei understood that his words just now were somewhat too cold and direct.
Han Siming had been a greenhouse flower since he was young, extremely well-protected by Dong Qin, and was now probably deeply hurt.
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes, showing a gleam of shrewdness, and with a smile on his face, he pretended to be affectionate and patted Han Siming on the shoulder.
“Siming…
Dad was just upset by your mom just now, and the tone might have been a bit too harsh.
Don’t take it to heart…
It’s not dad’s fault, I want to give you a status, but I can’t betray the ancestors of the Gu Family, our clan has never had such a big scandal.”
Listening to Gu Wei’s double-faced words, Han Siming’s mouth twitched.
“Mmm, I understand…”
He was just…
an object.
Dong Qin climbed her way up by using him.
Gu Wei…
only thought of him as a backup son, Gu Mochen was the true eldest heir.
And then…
Jian Ran abandoned him.
Gu Mochen took away his woman.
The once…
Qin Mu that he outclassed, Dongheng International was also flourishing.
They were all getting better and better…
except for himself.
Including the Han Family.
Han Siming’s mouth curled into a weak smile, self-mockingly saying, “Dad…
since mom’s affairs have been exposed, the stock prices of the Han Family…
are probably done for…
I’m afraid the Han Family might collapse in an instant, falling apart, because I’m simultaneously involved in multiple projects and the financial chain has broken.”
After pondering for a moment, Gu Wei confidently said, “Well, in that case, auction off your shares and invest all the capital in the Gu Family.
As shareholders of the Gu Family, you and Gu Mochen, working hand in hand as brothers…
you will certainly create a splendid legacy.
And then, it’ll only be a matter of time before the Gu Family successfully enters the national forefront, stepping out of the country, heading to Europe, Africa.”
“Haha…
by then, the heights of the Gu Family might be even colder, because…
it’s lonely at the top.”
Han Siming: “…”
Han Siming initially spoke out tentatively, hoping to get some financial aid from Gu Wei due to the broken capital chain.
He did not expect…
Gu Wei to suggest he sell off the Han Family assets to focus entirely on the development of the Gu Family.
Both being his sons…
Gu Wei could only see the profits in the marketplace.
Han Siming felt a heart-wrenching pain, so acute that it felt like he could not breathe.
After a long time, Han Siming spoke with difficulty, “Sorry…
Dad, this is a big matter, I’ll have to think about it more, I…
will go upstairs first…
to check.”
“Mm…
Siming, rest assured, although I can’t give you status, I value you…
You are the son I am proudest of.”
Han Siming: “…”
All the words Gu Wei is saying now…
he no longer believes any of them.
Han Siming gave a slight smile, nodded to indicate he understood.
…
Han Siming didn’t know how he left Dong Qin’s sickroom, nor how he came to the floor where Tang Bao was located.
All he knew was that as soon as he stepped out of the elevator and was about to turn a corner, he heard the silvery laughter of a little girl.
“Umm…
Daddy kissed me, now Daddy’s going to kiss mommy.”
“Mmm.”
Gu Mochen lovingly raised his hand to tousle the little girl’s hair, seeing Jian Ran shyly blushing, he lifted her into his arms and pressed his lips onto her cherry lips.
Although the family of three walked through the corridor, they were not shy.
Instead…
their happiness was enviable.
Han Siming…
felt everything he saw before his eyes was an eyesore.
