Seducing Childhood Sweetheart - Chapter 42
Chapter 42
Brother And Sister
Gu Xinran was upset. Why should Gu Yuan be so content? So she begged her mother to ask her father to let Gu Yuan return home on the grounds of the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.
Gu Xin Ran’s mother, Bai Sha, was Gu Cheng’an’s first love. After Shen Zhen’s death, she married Gu Cheng’an, and her daughter changed her surname to Gu. Bai Sha naturally knew that her daughter was in love with Feng Xinian. She had also seen that young man and could tell at a glance that the handsome young man was the pride of heaven. Therefore, Bai Sha supported her daughter to pursue Feng Xinian. In her opinion, as long as she insisted, no wall could not be exhausted.
“You can also invite Feng Xinian. I heard that his parents are in Country C. It’s strange to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone.” Bai Sha instructed her daughter.
Gu Xinran did not want to invite Feng Xinian. She felt uncomfortable when she saw the way he looked at Gu Yuan. But she was unwilling to tell Bai Sha that Feng Xinian was cold toward her. Therefore, she could only nod her head and agree.

Gu Yuan was surprised when she received Gu Cheng’an’s call. She felt funny when she heard him say the words Mid-Autumn Family Banquet.
Feng Xinian felt the change in the mood of the girl beside him. He hugged her, feeling distressed wholeheartedly.
“Brother Xinian, Gu Cheng’an asked me to return for the mid-autumn festival.” She had a hint of frustration.
Gu Yuan didn’t want to go, but her father said he would give her one of her mom’s last creations that day.
“I’ll be with you in everything.” She heard him say.
“I have something to tell you here, too.” Feng Xinian didn’t want his girl to be distressed, but he knew that it was more important to love someone and guard her while respecting her.
Gu Yuan took the document the youth handed to her. On it were written the six big letters of the paternity report. She turned over the pages.
‘Probability of paternity 99.999999999%.’
The two people’s identification of the paternity report was what she never expected. But after seeing this report, Gu Yuan was suddenly enlightened. No wonder she felt extraordinarily affectionate at the first sight of Lin Yuan.
She knew there was a study called ‘genetic attraction,’ where siblings who did not live together in childhood would be attracted to each other when they met again after they grew up. It turned out that the unexplainable obsession came from her genes.
Gu Yuan put down the report and hugged the youth, confirming the happiness she had right now.
*
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Feng Xinian accompanied Gu Yuan to the cemetery. Gu Yuan stood before Shen Zhen’s tombstone and told her; Mom, in this life, Yuan’er found happiness. Yuan’er will fulfill Mom’s wish and live a good life.
Bai Sha prepared a hearty dinner and even roasted a chicken herself. But then she watched as Gu Xinran led in another boy named Lin Yuan.
“Mom, brother Xinian said something came up and couldn’t come. This is Lin Yuan, my boyfriend.” Gu Xinran whispered in Bai Sha’s ear.
Bai Sha glanced at Lin Yuan. Although he looked like he could be considered a talented person, he was still far from Feng Xinian. She threw Gu Xinran a look that said ‘up to you’ and walked away.
On the contrary, Gu Cheng’an sat down and asked Lin Yuan about several things.
Gu Xinran said her last words, ‘my boyfriend,’ very softly because she still dreamed of marrying Feng Xinian, and Lin Yuan was the temporary option. Moreover, Lin Yuan and her did not have a definite relationship. But he agreed to come to their home today, and Gu Xinran felt that Lin Yuan had her in his heart. They already had sex. Most importantly, in a while, if she showed her intimacy with Lin Yuan, she thought that it would make Gu Yuan feel bad. If Gu Yuan didn’t feel good, then she, Gu Xinran, would be happy.
Gu Xinran didn’t know Lin Yuan came here only to see Gu Yuan. That time, due to the drug, he and Gu Xinran had sex. But Lin Yuan thought that the person in front of him was Gu Yuan. Even if it was self-deception, the person he wanted to embrace was only her.
Gu Yuan came late at dinner time. As soon as Bai Sha saw Gu Yuan, she was full of fake smiles. “Xiao Yuan, there are still guests tonight. Let us have a good ……”
Bai Sha hadn’t finished her words when she saw Feng Xinian behind Gu Yuan and suddenly changed her face.
“Uncle and Auntie, I’m uninvited today, so I’m sorry to bother you.” After Feng Xinian finished speaking, he asked his servants to deliver the gifts.
Gu Cheng’an was Yuan’er’s blood father, so Feng Xinian would not slow him down in terms of etiquette.
Gu Cheng’an knew Feng Xinian’s background. He has always looked favorably on this youth. He said in a deep voice, “Xinian is too polite. What do you mean by disturbing? Well, everyone has arrived. Butler, please serve the dishes.”
Gu Cheng’an ordered the dishes to be served. Gu Yuan sat aside and didn’t move her chopsticks, just sipping tea.
Bai Sha saw Feng Xinian give various gifts. There was even a pair of genuine Tang Yin paintings inside. She glanced at Gu Xinran. This Lin Yuan was ‘a plain clothes!’ How can he compare to Feng Xinian?
After they all were seated, Gu Xinran tried her best to manage her expression even though she was angry. She enthusiastically gave Lin Yuan food but realized his gaze was attached to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan turned her head after glancing at Lin Yuan. She saw how Gu Cheng’an looked at Lin Yuan and guessed that he must have questions in his mind right now. It was an unavoidable attraction due to bloodline. In her last life, perhaps Gu Cheng’an also knew about Lin Yuan’s birth. When Lin Yuan abandoned her at the wedding banquet, he most likely knew they were siblings.
At this time, the doorbell of the Gu family rang once again.
“Master, there are police officers at the door.” The servant ran in and said to Gu Cheng’an.
*
Gu Cheng’an was a veteran, so he contacted a lawyer by phone immediately.
The police came at this time. How could it be good?
The police officer in the lead took out his ID and the warrant for the inspection, “Mrs. Bai Sha, there is evidence that you are related to a traffic collision case in the early years. Please come with us and cooperate with our investigation.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few behind him were about to go and take away Bai Sha.
Mrs. Bai Sha, who was just a second ago Mrs. Gu’s wife, was now about to be taken away by the police, so she yelled for the sake of her face and could only look at Gu Cheng’an in a pleading manner.
“Police officer, I’m afraid there’s some kind of misunderstanding here,” he turned his head to Bai Sha again, “Don’t worry about it. I’ve already notified Lawyer Zhang.”
On the contrary, Gu Xinran, who was on the side, was so nervous that she was about to cry, “Don’t you guys talk nonsense. How could my mom possibly break the law and commit a crime.”
Fortunately, Gu Cheng’an pulled her back in time.
As Gu Yuan watched the police officers take Bai Sha away, she looked at Feng Xinian. She knew that whether it was in her previous life or this life, Feng Xinian was helping her to investigate Shen Zhen’s cause of death. She didn’t believe that her mom would die from DUI in the first place. Now, Feng Xinian has found evidence that can make the law punish the wicked.
Bai Sha had just gone, and another group of police came. Gu Cheng’an thought they returned and was about to have a seizure. Instead, they saw the visitor take out a new arrest warrant, “Ms. Gu Xinran, there are people here who testify that you led them to commit a crime. Please come to the police station and cooperate with the investigation.”
“You guys are talking nonsense! You all were found by Gu Yuan, right? You guys are framing people!” Gu Xinran deliberately put on exquisite makeup and wore a beautiful dress today. But now, Gu Yuan looked at her as if she was a hysterical female ghost.
Feng Xinian protected Gu Yuan behind him, “Miss Gu, please don’t slander her people at will. I can always contact a lawyer to apply for one more charge for you.”
Gu Xinran listened to Feng Xinian’s words with increasing grief and anger. Before she changed her last name to Gu, she had nothing. Since she was a little girl, with her parents’ negative relationship, her family’s poverty, and her classmates’ bullying, she would only be verbally abused and ostracized. She didn’t understand why Gu Yuan always had people protecting and loving her. She was jealous, she was unwilling, and she wanted her to have nothing.
After the police officer took Bai Sha and Gu Xinran, Gu Yuan watched Gu Cheng’an as if he had aged ten years at once.
“Let’s go.” She looked at Feng Xinian and said.
“Yuan’er, do you hate Dad that much?” Gu Cheng’an spoke with difficulty.
“I don’t hate you. It’s a waste of feelings to hate.” Gu Yuan didn’t look at him and stepped out of the house.
The sky was raining heavily at some point, and Feng Xinian held a large umbrella and wrapped the girl in his arms. He heard the sound of footsteps running behind him.
“Gu Yuan, I will wait for you, always will.”
Even though the rain drenched him, Lin Yuan shouted at the girl’s back profile. His intuition told him that if he didn’t say anything today, he would have even less of a chance in the future.
The girl handed him a bag of documents. “Read this and then think it over.”
Lin Yuan looked at the backs of the two walking away, and his heart was cold.
