Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522: Chapter 549: Gu Zishan’s Secret

Gu Junming’s birth mother divorced him because of worries about her future, under Bai Chuan’s advice.

This woman... won’t forgive me, will she?

The next day Gu Dongfang discovered that his son and daughter-in-law had come to visit him. Despite being pregnant, Sun Chan had visited several times.

The Yan Family’s housekeeper also came to take care of him. Leaders at all levels, the Yan Family, Wang Hu, and others had also visited him.

He thought to himself, they care about him. He knows his own body, uncomfortable for a long time now, yet hoping not to wait for death every day. He hoped to do something worthwhile in the military before dying, look at new weapons, and see modern military management concepts. That’s why he stayed in the army for so long without returning home. Now he’s sent back, delicately cared for every day, he understands he probably has only a few days left.

At eighty, he sees things clearly. He smiles and says, "You all are really filial. I’m quite content. How much longer can I live?"

Gu Zishan hands his father medicine with a smile, "Don’t worry. You’re healthy, I might die but you’ll be fine."

"That’s enough!" Gu Dongfang glares at Gu Zishan, "It sounds nice, but I know my condition. I ask you, when are you going to tell Gu Junming about it?"

Gu Zishan pauses with the medicine in hand, "I didn’t, Dad, honestly I had never planned to."

"Better to tell him sooner. All these years, he believed his mother was dead. He’s done nothing wrong, why deprive him of the truth? That’s on you. You can’t hide it from him forever."

"Dad, I swore an oath back then, promised her I wouldn’t reveal it..."

Gu Dongfang pats his shoulder, "Enough, I don’t want to meddle in your affairs, but Gu Junming deserves to know his mother is still alive. I think..."

Bang! The sharp sound of a bowl breaking. Gu Zishan quickly stands up and leaves. At the door stands Wang Guihua, looking incredulous.

"What you just said is true? Liu Weihong is still alive?"

Gu Zishan is silent, glaring at her fiercely. How dare she eavesdrop!

Wang Guihua grabs Gu Zishan’s arm forcefully, "I’m asking you! Alive? Wasn’t her family all dead? Why did you lie to me?"

"I didn’t lie to you, back then those people were going to be sentenced to death! I couldn’t just watch an innocent woman die! Your family with Bai Chuan clambered madly upward, naturally wanting to crush anyone they could! Liu Weihong was indeed ill, but the one who died wasn’t her; it was a wandering woman on the street. We simply took her as Liu Weihong and quietly sent her away," Gu Zishan bluntly revealed.

Wang Guihua staggered, "All these years, you’ve been lying to me. You’re a complete bastard!"

Her heart went cold. Would Liu Weihong speak on how her father schemed against the Liu Family? Speak if she will, anyway, I have no relatives left. Even if spoken, it’s pointless.

But how does Gu Juntao see me? He’s my only hope!

She sat on the sofa, her eyes glazed, no reaction at all. She was truly frightened. But later thought, all those things were done by her father. Now he’s long gone, that crazy era ceased existing long ago, what’s there to worry about? Besides, Gu Zishan’s actions were disgraceful, abandoning his first wife to marry the woman who schemed against the Liu Family. Her mind was now so tangled, not knowing what to do.

She finally decided come what may, let it be!

Saying it would only further disgrace Gu Zishan and make Gu Junming less likely to forgive him. At least she bore Gu Juntao, what could he do to me? Thinking this, she exhaled deeply.

Anyway, I’m the mistress here, no one can change it.

While in a trance, she saw Gu Zishan hurry downstairs. She quickly stood up, "What’s going on?"

"Dad fainted, call an ambulance quickly!" Gu Zishan’s voice was extremely weak, like he used all his strength, barely able to speak, completely exhausted.

Wang Guihua was also nervous and called for an ambulance, then thought again, called Gu Juntao to go to the hospital, specifically telling him not to inform Gu Junming. The old man has quite a bit of pension money! If before he goes, he can leave Gu Juntao a sum, it’d be enough for him to buy a house, hence she kept such a scheme in mind.
