Gu Yiluo giggled, looking like an innocent child.
You're so cute.
Xu Chun's face darkened, her lips twitched, and she said helplessly, "I just don't want you to say that to me."
Gu Yiluo suddenly leaned closer to him, staring at him with wide eyes. "Why?"
Xu Chun didn't want to waste any more time talking to him; she still had no idea what he was up to.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Gu Yiluo grabbed him and looked at him seriously. "You'll regret it if you leave."
Xu Chun frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
She felt that Gu Yiluo's attitude towards her had subtly changed, and there was an inexplicable sense of unease and strangeness about it.
Chapter 98 Brother Gu Zi
Gu Yiluo didn't answer, but stared intently into his eyes, seemingly momentarily distracted, before slowly releasing her grip on his hand.
Aren't you curious about who your other brother is?
Xu Chun was slightly taken aback, then frowned and asked, "How did you know?"
A sly smile flashed across Gu Yiluo's eyes, "I used a little trick."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Xu Chun looked around and was about to speak when she saw a picture suddenly appear on the projector.
"What's this?"
Xu Chun stared at the projected photo, which showed a little boy with a serious face looking at the camera. From the eyebrows and eyes on that face, one could tell that it was Gu Zi in his childhood.
"You should know that Gu Zi and I were adopted, right?"
Xu Chun nodded. "I know."
Then the screen flashed again, and Xu Chun looked over, then froze, her face blank for a moment, standing there dumbfounded.
The image shows a baby still in swaddling clothes. The baby is fair-skinned and very cute. But as the gaze slowly moves down, it becomes apparent that the baby has a very noticeable cleft lip.
Gu Yiluo suddenly leaned closer to Xu Chun, tilted her head slightly to look at him, and whispered, "Finding these took me a lot of effort."
Xu Chun stammered, "This is... President Gu?"
Gu Yiluo nodded and said, "It's a photo of him when he was still in the orphanage."
Xu Chun steadied himself and looked directly into his eyes. "This doesn't prove anything."
Gu Yiluo knew that this news would be too much of a shock for Xu Chun, so he wasn't in a hurry. He just smiled and said, "Of course, it doesn't prove anything. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
The first time I saw Xu Chun, I thought his eye color was the same as Gu Zi's, but I didn't think much of it. Later, I learned that he was also adopted, and after seeing the scandals about his background that he exposed online, I became interested and did some research. That's when I discovered a lot of interesting things.
Xu Chun pursed her lips, staring intently at the projected photo, without saying a word.
"Take a look." Gu Yiluo pulled out an old newspaper from somewhere.
In the bottom right corner of the newspaper, there was a news article with the headline "Sick twins abandoned, urgently seeking donations from kind-hearted people," and the photo showed two babies cuddling together.
Xu Chun stared intently at the baby boy with a congenital cleft lip on the far right, her lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing.
Doesn't this look familiar?
Gu Yiluo leaned back slightly, propped himself up on his arms, looked at the photos on the projector, and then turned to smile at Xu Chun.
"They're exactly the same."
Xu Chun gently traced a corner of the newspaper with his fingers, his voice trembling slightly, but he managed to maintain his composure and finally asked the question.
"You mean Gu Zi... is my brother?"
Gu Yiluo smiled without saying a word, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure in the corner of the door freeze as if struck by something, which greatly pleased her.
"Are there any other possibilities?"
Xu Chun, his face pale. This event had a profound impact on him, and he was momentarily at a loss for how to cope. His emotions were complex, a mixture of disbelief, excitement, and a nameless sense of panic.
Gu Yiluo tilted her head slightly to look at the door, then looked at the figure standing motionless and said with a grin, "So you have a habit of eavesdropping."
Gu Zi walked in without changing his expression and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you send someone to call me here?"
Gu Yiluo immediately denied it, stubbornly saying, "It wasn't me."
Gu Zi ignored him, knowing he was a habitual liar, but he had never hoped as much as he did now that what he had just said was true.
He looked at Xu Chun, and the two remained silent, gazing at each other quietly, neither of them breaking the silence.
"You..." Gu Zi hesitated for a moment, his expression slightly changed, but he was interrupted by Xu Chun before he could speak.
"I know what you're going to say." Xu Chun lowered her eyelashes.
Gu Zi was a reserved person by nature. Even after reuniting with his long-lost relatives, he didn't show any extra expression on his face, but the subtle upward curve of the corners of his mouth betrayed his feelings.
"You are my younger brother." He looked at Xu Chun earnestly, his tone solemn, as if he had rediscovered some precious treasure.
Gu Yiluo suddenly interjected, smiling, "So stop treating me like your younger brother." He paused abruptly, his tone lowering, and added to himself, "It's annoying to hear."
Gu Zi frowned slightly and glanced at him.
This sudden bombshell news left Xu Chun dizzy and disoriented. He couldn't even remember what he said to Gu Zi in the end before leaving the house and returning to the living room.
His previous impression of Gu Zi was that he was the president of the Gu family Group. He had met him a few times and knew that he had a younger brother, but he never thought that one day he would be told that he was his younger brother.
The most troublesome thing is that he doesn't know how to deal with the relationship between the Xu family and this suddenly appearing older brother. He had promised his mother and the others that his family would always be just them, which meant he had severed all ties with the past, but suddenly he found himself in this situation.
