Scheming White lotus (16): Gu Juntian is simply poisonous!

As soon as Zhou Qinghao’s hand touched Gu Juntian’s clothes, Gu Juntian grabbed it.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Juntian picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on him: “Qinghao, let’s talk.”

He had already found a lawyer, and on Monday, the lawyer would talk to Zhou Qinghao about Second Uncle Zhou’s matter.

But now he wanted to know everything Zhou Qinghao had experienced.

Zhou Qinghao looked at Gu Juntian speechlessly. He had taken off his clothes, and Gu Juntian wanted to chat with him?

Gu Juntian helped Zhou Qinghao pull the zipper: “Qinghao, you have a lot of old injuries on your body. How did you live when you were a child?”

Gu Juntian’s eyes were filled with heartache.

When Zhou Qinghao met Gu Juntian’s eyes, the colored thoughts in his mind slowly disappeared.

He could feel that Gu Juntian cherished him, which made him feel very warm.

He wanted to keep this warmth forever.

Zhou Qinghao wanted to make himself sound more miserable so that Gu Juntian would feel more sorry for him, but he was reluctant to make Gu Juntian feel uncomfortable.

He finally chose to tell the truth.

“When my parents had just passed away, he moved into my house. He said that dead people’s things were unlucky, so he threw away all my parents’ things. I refused to let him, so he slapped me. That was the first time he hit me…”

Zhou Qinghao’s parents were very rich, and they lived in a house with four bedrooms and two living rooms.

There were three south-facing bedrooms. His parents lived in the largest master bedroom, and the remaining two were for him and his grandmother respectively.

But after his parents died, he was driven out of his room by his second uncle and had to live in the small bedroom on the north side that was decorated as a study.

There was no bed inside, only a small tatami.

He didn’t like the small room at that time, but later, he had no place to live in the small room.

His second uncle mortgaged his parents’ house and couldn’t pay it back. After the house was taken away, the whole family had to squeeze into his second uncle’s old house.

The house was very small, so he could only live on the balcony.

The beatings became more severe each time.

Gu Juntian knew that there were many people in this world who had suffered miserably. The children in war-torn areas that his parents had rescued were much more miserable than Zhou Qinghao.

But he still felt bad for Zhou Qinghao.

Fortunately, he came here. If he hadn’t come, Zhou Qinghao would not only have a miserable childhood, but would also be forced to death…

“Don’t feel bad, I didn’t suffer much. At first I couldn’t beat him so I had to endure it. When I got a little older, I started fighting him. I even threatened him with a knife… Later he didn’t dare to hit me anymore,” Zhou Qinghao said with a smile. “If he asked me to cook, I would mess around, like using the oil from the range hood to fry the meat.”

Gu Juntian hugged Zhou Qinghao.

When Zhou Qinghao was having dinner with his second uncle, he used the oil from the range hood to stir-fry the meat, surely because he knew that he wouldn’t be able to eat the fried meat.

Besides, Zhou Qinghao’s grandmother was at home. Even if he could make trouble, how many times could he make trouble?

At that time, he was still a child without the ability to resist.

Gu Juntian patted Zhou Qinghao on the back.

Zhou Qinghao didn’t want to cry at first, but when Gu Juntian hugged him, he couldn’t help but burst into tears.

But this time, he did not make any “woohoo” sound on purpose, he just shed tears silently.

This should be the last time he cried.

As long as Gu Juntian is always by his side, he would have nothing to cry about in the future.

Zhou Qinghao cried so hard that his eyes were swollen when he woke up the next day.

Besides, there was not a single spot on his body that wasn’t sore.

Lying on the bed, Zhou Qinghao didn’t want to move at all.

But that was impossible, as he would soon be up for his morning run.

Yesterday, Gu Juntian held him and let him cry for a long time. However, just when he was happy because of their honesty and the warming of their relationship, Gu Juntian told him coldly that he still had to go running this morning.

Gu Juntian was simply poisonous!

But even so, he still liked Gu Juntian very much and looked forward to running with him.

Zhou Qinghao got out of bed slowly and washed up slowly.

He won’t put on makeup today because no one would see him anyway.

At half past six, Gu Juntian knocked on Zhou Qinghao’s door on time.

Zhou Qinghao opened the door and saw the handsome Gu Juntian. He felt all his fatigue disappear.

With Gu Juntian by his side, he could continue exercising!

Gu Juntian asked: “Does it hurt?”

Zhou Qinghao thought about it and told the truth: “It hurts.”

“Muscle soreness is inevitable. In the next few days, you should not do strength training to let your muscles recover, but you can still do a little aerobic exercise. I will adjust the incline later and you can walk on the treadmill.” Gu Juntian took Zhou Qinghao to the gym, and adjusted the slope and speed of the treadmill for Zhou Qinghao to walk slowly on it.

As for himself, he began to use other machines for strength training.

When Zhou Qinghao was exercising, he also had to persist in exercising, so that he could become stronger than Zhou Qinghao.

He couldn’t afford to be surpassed by Zhou Qinghao!

Gu Juntian was training very hard.

So Zhou Qinghao walked while trying to turn his head to look at Gu Juntian.

Gu Juntian looked really handsome when he worked out seriously.

Such a handsome man was actually his. Just thinking about it made him happy.

It was a pity that Gu Juntian didn’t come to guide him, so he couldn’t take advantage of the opportunity.

Today was Sunday, but Gu Juntian still had work to do.

After dinner, he glanced at Zhou Qinghao who was busy picking up food for Old man Gu and talking to Gu’s father and mother, and went to the study room with a little reluctance.

Unfortunately, because he hid it well enough, no one else could see his reluctance.

Seeing her son leave, Gu’s mother asked Zhou Qinghao: “Qinghao, do you feel sore?”

They all knew that Zhou Qinghao was dragged by Gu Juntian to exercise last night.

People who have just started exercising will feel very uncomfortable after straining their muscles. Zhou Qinghao must be in pain all over right now.

“It’s a bit sour, but it doesn’t matter much.” Zhou Qinghao said with a smile.

A muscle strain was really nothing, just rest for two days.

In the past, if he had a fever, was sick, or was injured, he would just do what he was supposed to do, and it was no big deal.

That is to say, since life was good now, he was inevitably pretentious.

“Don’t do strenuous exercise these days. Rest well and build up your muscles.” Father Gu also said.

“Juntian has already told me.” Zhou Qinghao said with a smile. When he mentioned Gu Juntian, his eyebrows smiled and his eyes were full of love.

When Gu’s father and mother saw Zhou Qinghao like this, they knew that Zhou Qinghao must like Gu Juntian very much.

They also liked Zhou Qinghao more and more.

However, at this moment, a bodyguard came in hurriedly from outside: “Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, the Cheng family is here.”

“Cheng family? Which Cheng family?” Father Gu was curious. He seldom went home and knew nothing about the interpersonal relationships at home.

The bodyguard thought for a moment before speaking: “It’s the Cheng family who are in the jade business. They said they are here to cancel the engagement…”

“So it’s the Cheng family. We have nothing to do with them, right? Why cancel the engagement?” Father Gu looked confused.

Gu’s parents had only been back for a few days and had no idea about the so-called engagement between Gu Juntian and Cheng Mingyan.

The bodyguard reminded him, “Mr. Gu, the Cheng family is a little agitated and is making a fuss outside.”

Father Gu felt that the Cheng family was a little weird, and he didn’t really want to meet them.

But at this moment, Old Man Gu was sober: “Let them in.”

As soon as Old Man Gu opened his mouth, the bodyguard went out to pick someone up.

Father Gu looked at Grandpa Gu and said, “Dad, we have nothing to do with the Cheng family, right? Why would they want to cancel the engagement when everything was fine?”

Old Man Gu glanced at Zhou Qinghao and said, “This is a misunderstanding.”

When Zhou Qinghao first heard that someone from the Cheng family was coming, he was inevitably a little nervous, but after listening to what Gu’s father, mother, and grandfather said, he relaxed and was not nervous at all.

Just at this moment, Cheng’s father and mother came in from outside with Cheng Mingyan.

The three of them all looked unhappy. Cheng’s father started yelling as soon as he entered the room: “Gu Juntian, you have an engagement with my son Mingyan, but you are still entangled with other people outside. This shows that you don’t take our Cheng family seriously! You have to give us an explanation!”

Parents: “???” When did their son get engaged? They didn’t know!

After Cheng’s father finished speaking, he realized that Gu Juntian was not there. He hadn’t seen Gu’s father and mother for a long time and didn’t recognize them anymore. He looked at Grandpa Gu and said, “Grandpa Gu, we are here to cancel the engagement. Your grandson is going too far!”

Old Man was awake, but he pretended to be confused and looked at Mr. Cheng in confusion: “Who are you?”

Father Cheng frowned: “Grandpa, don’t pretend you don’t know me! My son is Gu Juntian’s fiancé whom you have officially recognized!”

As Mr. Cheng spoke, he pulled Cheng Mingyan to the front.

Cheng Mingyan also said: “Grandpa Gu, I am Mingyan!”

“Mingyan? I don’t know him. Where is my Xiao bao?” asked Grandpa Gu. Grandpa Gu liked Cheng Mingyan very much before, but today the Cheng family came to cancel the engagement, which made him dissatisfied with Cheng Mingyan.

He did match Cheng Mingyan and his grandson, but neither Cheng Mingyan nor Gu Juntian held an engagement banquet, so it could not be considered an engagement.

Now that the two of them haven’t gotten together, just let the matter go quietly. What did it mean that the Cheng family came to cancel the engagement?

The Cheng family wanted benefits, right?

Old Man Gu had been in the business world for decades, so he tended to overthink things.

At this moment, he thought about it more.

He suspected that Cheng Mingyan had ulterior motives when he “saved” him at the beginning, and that later he said in front of him that he liked his grandson, claimed the identity of his fiancé to pester his grandson, and now he said he wanted to cancel the engagement, all for the sake of gaining benefits.

He simply played dumb and got away with the matter.

“Grandpa Gu, I am the fiancé of your grandson Gu Juntian!” Cheng Mingyan said.

Grandpa Gu said, “My grandson is still young, where did he get a fiancé?”

Old Man Gu was confused and couldn’t explain the situation clearly. Mr. Cheng was unhappy and looked at Mr. Gu: “Where is Gu Juntian? Let him come out!”

“I’m here,” Gu Juntian came down from the building and asked Cheng’s father, “What do you want to say?”

When Cheng’s father saw Gu Juntian, he frowned and said angrily, “Gu Juntian, you are Mingyan’s fiancé, but you are having affairs outside and even brought people home. You must give an explanation to the Cheng family!”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Qinghao who was sitting on the sofa with disdain.

As soon as Cheng Mingyan arrived at Gu’s house, he saw Zhou Qinghao and his eyes turned red with anger. He said, “Gu Juntian, I want to cancel the engagement. I won’t love you anymore! I will find a better man than you!”

After listening to what the two said, Gu Juntian was speechless: “Cheng Mingyan, I remember I said several times that there is no engagement between us.”

He found this matter inexplicable.

If Cheng Mingyan wanted to find someone better, he could just go ahead and find him. He won’t hold him back. Why did he have to go through the trouble of canceling the engagement?

In the original story, there was actually such a thing. After Cheng Mingyan gave up, he went to the original owner to cancel the engagement, but the original owner refused to cancel the engagement and kept trying to keep him…

Then Cheng Mingyan’s blind date started to trouble the original owner. Cheng Mingyan’s friends persuaded the original owner to let Cheng Mingyan go free, but Cheng Mingyan repeatedly emphasized that he would not marry the original owner…

After going back and forth for a long time, the original owner went bankrupt and realized that he was not worthy of Cheng Mingyan, so he agreed to cancel the engagement.

When he saw this, he even thought that Cheng Mingyan was using the cancellation of the engagement as an excuse to continue to entangle the original owner.

Otherwise, they hadn’t even held an engagement party, Cheng Mingyan could just find another partner directly, why did he have to go through the trouble of breaking off the engagement?

Anyway, he couldn’t understand Cheng Mingyan’s thought process.

“Your engagement was arranged by Old Man Gu himself!” said Cheng’s father.

Gu Juntian said, “Does someone’s words mean an engagement? If I let Cheng Mingyan get engaged to Yu Li, does that mean they are engaged? If you want to cancel the engagement, go find Yu Li.”

Father Cheng was furious: “You are confusing the concepts!”

Cheng Mingyan also said: “Gu Juntian, you are ungrateful and treacherous!”

Gu Juntian smiled: “Cheng Mingyan, I was just thinking that you are ruthless, deep-minded, insidious and cunning.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Cheng Mingyan suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

Gu Juntian said, “Cheng Mingyan, you have always emphasized that you saved my grandfather’s life, but when my grandfather fainted, he was accompanied by a nurse and a housekeeper. The nurse had already briefly checked my grandfather’s condition and was about to perform CPR, but you jumped out and took the credit.”

“What do you mean by taking credit? I was just worried because the nurse was dawdling!” Cheng Mingyan said, “In such a critical situation, he was not in a hurry to perform CPR on Grandpa Gu! I think he had bad intentions!”

“Not all situations are suitable for CPR. The nurse initially checked the cause of my grandfather’s coma” Gu Juntian explained calmly.

There are many situations in which the elderly suddenly faint, and the first aid methods vary.

The nurse next to his grandfather was a professional. After his grandfather suddenly fainted, the nurse immediately began to investigate the cause. Only after the investigation did the nurse dare to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Grandpa Gu.

According to surveillance, Cheng Mingyan rushed out just when he was about to perform first aid.

“I don’t know!”

“You didn’t know and yet you dared to do this? Of course, I can think that you were kind-hearted in this matter, but what you did afterwards was shameful,” Gu Juntian said, “You found out that my grandfather was sick, so you bribed the butler and together with him misled my grandfather, making him think that we were a couple and wholeheartedly creating opportunities for us to get along…”

“I didn’t bribe the housekeeper!” Cheng Mingyan glared at Gu Juntian: “Gu Juntian, you actually think of me that way?”

“Then how else do you want me to think of you?” Unlike Cheng Mingyan’s excitement, Gu Juntian remained calm: “How dare you say that you know nothing about my grandfather’s illness? You clearly know that my grandfather is ill, but you still use my grandfather’s words as a token of authority and tell everyone that you are my fiancé… What do you want to do? Do you want to marry me and let me continue to help the Cheng family fill the hole?”

Cheng Mingyan never expected that in Gu Juntian’s eyes, he would be like this!

The pain of being wrongly accused made him cry: “I didn’t!”

Gu Juntian didn’t let him go, “You also tried to frame my boyfriend. Since you investigated Qinghao, you should know that after Qinghao’s parents died, his second uncle occupied the property and house left by his parents, beat and scolded him, and refused to pay for his tuition… Qinghao finally got rid of his second uncle, but you brought someone to make trouble, trying to make me misunderstand him as an ungrateful person. Cheng Mingyan, you have many tricks.”

In the original plot, Cheng Mingyan, with a pure and innocent appearance, exposed Zhou Qinghao’s “true face”.

Now that Cheng Mingyan was pestering him, he simply exposed Cheng Mingyan’s true face.

In the original plot, Cheng Mingyan always felt that he was innocent, and Cheng Mingyan still felt the same now.

But from his point of view, there was something wrong with Cheng Mingyan.

Since Cheng Mingyan could think that Zhou Qinghao was vicious from his own perspective and it was natural that he had wronged Zhou Qinghao, then he could naturally also think that Cheng Mingyan was insidious from his own perspective.

“I didn’t! I didn’t know Zhou Qinghao’s second uncle was like this!” Cheng Mingyan said.

Gu Juntian looked unconvinced and sneered: “If you say there is no such thing, then there is no such thing. However, if you keep pestering me, I don’t mind spreading the word about your actions in the circle.”

After saying that, Gu Juntian said to the bodyguard: “Show them away!”

“Gu Juntian, you can’t wrongly accuse me!” Cheng Mingyan tried to explain that he did not do anything that Gu Juntian said!

He saved Grandpa Gu purely out of kindness. He knew that Grandpa Gu was sick, but Grandpa Gu also liked him when he was sober. Grandpa Gu always hoped that someone would accompany Gu Juntian, and he felt that he could be that person.

As for Zhou Qinghao’s affairs, he was not the one who investigated Zhou Qinghao, and he really didn’t know that Zhou Qinghao’s second uncle was so bad.

But Gu Juntian didn’t want to listen to Cheng Mingyan’s explanation: “If you don’t leave, I will tell everyone what you did.”

Cheng Mingyan was struck by lightning and stopped talking. His father and mother took one side each and pulled him out.

They believed that their son was not such a bad person, but if Gu Juntian told anyone about this, their family would be disgraced!

But even so, when he was about to leave, Cheng Mingyan still questioned Zhou Qinghao: “Zhou Qinghao, did you say anything to Gu Juntian?”

Zhou Qinghao, who had been watching the excitement, said: “…” He really was shot even when he was lying down!

If Gu’s father, mother and grandfather were not around, Zhou Qinghao would definitely put on a show in front of Cheng Mingyan and say something like Gu Juntian loved him so much last night that he was sore all over and cried until his voice was hoarse, which would make Cheng Mingyan so angry that he would die.

But he still had to take care of his father, mother, and grandfather.

Zhou Qinghao could only keep smiling and watch the Cheng family leave with great regret.

After the Cheng family left, Gu’s father and mother immediately comforted Zhou Qinghao: “Qinghao, don’t be angry. Juntian has nothing to do with that boy. He only likes you.”

Zhou Qinghao smiled and said, “I know.”

The Gu family was having a great time, but the Cheng family was furious after being driven out.

Father Cheng said, “The Gu family is so unreasonable! My Mingyan has good intentions, but they think of him so much!”

Cheng Mingyan couldn’t accept that he was wronged: “They wronged me!”

Only Cheng’s mother was clear-headed. In fact, before she came, she felt that her family was wrong.

But seeing her husband and son’s behavior, she didn’t dare say much, for fear that they would team up to attack her.

Cheng Mingyan cried and explained to his parents that he had done nothing wrong and that it was Gu Juntian who had wrongly framed him.

Father Cheng said, “Mingyan, Dad knows you didn’t do anything bad, it’s Gu Juntian who has dirty ideas! Since Gu Juntian doesn’t acknowledge this engagement, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Dad will arrange a blind date for you right away!”

“Okay.” Cheng Mingyan said. Now, he had really given up on Gu Juntian.

Father Cheng added: “Mingyan, you don’t have to worry about Zhou Qinghao. His eyes are red. I’m afraid he won’t have a good time after entering the Gu family. He might be bullied by the Gu family!”

At this time, Cheng Mingyan also remembered Zhou Qinghao’s red eyes.

With Zhou Qinghao’s family background, he would definitely be disliked by the Gu family, and even Gu Juntian, he would not be able to stay with him for long!
