The Truth

"Oh? Tell me about it!"

Hua Qiang unconsciously felt a slight sense of unease towards Gu Qingfeng, who was so familiar with him.

I didn't see any mercenary, treacherous or cunning traits in him. His eyes were innocent and genuine.

Gu Qingfeng grabbed Hua Qiang's shoulder and pulled him away from Gu Qingshu and the others.

He glanced back at them before speaking softly to Hua Qiang, "Xiao Qiang, you should know something about what happened back then. Your adoptive parents must have told you some of it, right?"

"Your parents were a perfect match, but because of Zuo Xiangyang, that bastard, they became a third party."

"Of course, this third sister, my third sister, who is also your mother, has no feelings for him at all. Don't misunderstand."

"Because of this bastard, Hua Xingchen was expelled from the White Tiger Academy and then thrown into the Demon Suppressing Abyss to guard the Demon Suppressing Eye."

"Uh... your mother has also been put in solitary confinement."

After you were imprisoned, you were locked in Ice Grotto and subjected to inhuman suffering.

Gu Qingfeng paused, licked his lips, and continued, "When you first left, it was a very dangerous time. You were lucky to survive, you almost died!"

Hua Qiang's lips twitched. Damn it, why don't you just cut to the chase? What's the point of all this arguing?

It's really whetting people's appetites.

Gu Qingfeng stopped again, looking at Hua Qiang with a wicked smile.

"Xiaoqiang, do you want to keep listening?"

Hua Qiang rolled his eyes at him. It seemed he had been wrong about his previous assessment of him; this guy was a real scoundrel!

Gu Qingfeng rubbed his thumb and forefinger together twice. "Xiao Qiang, if you want to hear something, the following part is a paid segment. Do you know what that means?"

Hua Qiang's lips twitched twice more. This shameless bastard actually tried to blackmail him.

The next moment, Hua Qiang revealed a half-smile on his face and said, "Well, actually, I'm not that interested in this. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. I don't really want to hear it either."

Uh... Gu Qingfeng's expression froze. What does this mean?

Did I pick up the wrong drama?

Or is it that the director found an unreliable actor? Shouldn't this have piqued his curiosity, making him eager to know what happens next so he can make some extra money?

Shouldn't we at least offer a token of appreciation?

Damn, this kid has already reached the Emperor Realm, he must have had a great opportunity, and he must have a lot of treasures on him!

Shouldn't we show some respect to our uncle?

Although he was born into the large Gu Family Lineage, he was still poor!

For stealing the Cold Poison and Fire Pill for his third sister, he was fined countless amounts of money, had his salary deducted, and endured countless beatings.

It's all tears when I talk about it!

Do you think it's easy for me?

I wanted to make up for the loss here, but this kid isn't cooperating. He's too slippery!

This kid shouldn't be harassing Hua Qiang, he should be harassing Hua Tou!

Gu Qingfeng felt a sharp pain in his testicles, and even a bitter feeling of wanting to swallow his tears.

Seeing Hua Qiang's nonchalant attitude, he knew that his move had failed.

He could only say sullenly, "You little brat, can't you cooperate with your uncle for a bit and give him some face?"

"Even if you read novels, most of the time it's paid chapters, right? You have to spend some money, right?"

"Your uncle is putting on such a great performance, you should take pity on him and give him a small reward!"

"Stop, stop playing the victim. You're a young master from a big Lineage, do you think you'd be short of money?" Hua Qiang said disdainfully.

"Xiaoqiang, you have no idea how hard your uncle has worked all these years. Your uncle is truly poor!"

"Your mother has so many ailments, and she's been suffering from the Cold Poison in the Ice Grotto. To alleviate her pain, your uncle had to steal the Fire Pill, didn't he?"

Do you know how many times Uncle Yu was beaten for stealing that Fire Pill?

How many times have you been fined?

"They deducted almost all of my monthly salary, and my uncle was almost forced to beg for food!"

The more this kid talked, the more miserable he became, and the more excited he got, as if it were really true.

Hua Qiang was completely speechless.

A Storage Ring appeared in his hand and was shoved into it.

"Give me a hand, give me a hand, stop playing the victim!"

"Since it's our first meeting, you should be the one giving me a gift. But now you're doing the opposite, asking me, the younger generation, for a red envelope."

Gu Qingfeng sensed the contents of the ring with his consciousness and immediately beamed with joy.

This kid's really something!

I have no regrets about loving him... Mom.

"Hehehe, Xiaoqiang, you're a true friend! Your uncle will follow you from now on!"

"No, I can't handle a lackey like you," Hua Qiang quickly refused.

"No, Uncle is easy to take care of. You just need to give him a little something each month. Uncle only eats three meals a day and doesn't have any other bad habits."

"Stop, stop rambling on about things that are true or false, and keep going. I've already paid for this."

Gu Qingfeng made an OK sign, but his expression turned a little grim.

"But it was very dangerous. You just came into this world, and your mother hasn't even seen you yet, and then... that awful old man had someone take you away. We'll have to deal with you later."

"Fortunately, your great-grandmother pleaded with you and saved you."

Xiaoqiang, the first person you should thank is your great-grandmother. If she hadn't pleaded for you, you would be dead by now.

Hua Qiang turned his head and gave Gu Qingfeng a cold look.

The old man, who was already uneasy, felt as if he had fallen into Ice Grotto in the dead of winter when those murderous eyes swept over him, and his body trembled involuntarily.

What exactly did that bastard say to Hua Qiang? Did he say bad things about him? Gu Qingfeng kept guessing.

Having received the benefit, Gu Qingfeng stopped keeping him in suspense and said directly, "After a while, for some reason, with your intelligence, you can guess that someone is behind this."

"You were sent to Orphanage, and later, by chance, you learned the whereabouts of your parents' best friend, Ye Wendao Man."

"After that, they transferred you to the Modu Base Orphanage and had someone deliver the message to Ye Wendao."

That's how he found you, and I won't go into the details of what happened next.

"Your uncle didn't know about these things. Your great-grandmother secretly told me about them before she passed away."

"This was all done by that old bastard of a grandfather, it's gone too far!"

"It's a pity she couldn't see you one last time. Your great-grandmother died with regrets... Alas!"

Gu Qingfeng sighed and said, "I was planning to find time to look for you, but you came first. We're so in sync!"

No one can possibly understand you perfectly. Even Hua Qiang would be disgusted. How could you say that to two grown men?

"Um..." Gu Qingfeng hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Uncle, please speak freely!"

Hua Qiang now fully acknowledged Gu Qingfeng and called him "uncle" for the first time.

Oh my god!

Gu Qingfeng was so happy he almost ascended to heaven on the spot; this kid actually called him uncle.

"Um... Xiaoqiang, your uncle has a favor to ask of you..."
