Gu Zheng frowned, but finally reached out and took it.
However, Gu En followed her intuition and spoke up directly.
"What's in here? Can I take a look first?"
"I'm sorry, no." Qin Hao directly refused Gu En.
If Gu En sees this, who knows what kind of trouble she'll come up with next.
Gu En's face stiffened, and then, for some reason, turned pale. Qin Hao couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement at the sight.
It's such a shame that this person doesn't go into acting!
"Brother, hurry up and take a look. It will definitely benefit you." Qin Hao urged Gu Zheng to continue reading.
Gu Zheng's brows remained furrowed, and upon hearing Qin Hao's words, he said nothing more but reached out and took it.
Regardless, he knew Qin Hao well; he didn't seem like the type to joke about such trivial matters.
"Brother Zheng!" Seeing that Gu Zheng was about to take out the documents, Gu En subconsciously reached out and pressed down on the document bag.
Qin Hao raised an eyebrow. "Gu En, what are you doing? There's nothing shameful in here. Are you trying to prevent Brother Zheng from seeing this?"
“I…” Gu En gritted her teeth and withdrew her hand. “I didn’t mean that. I was just curious about what was inside.”
No, he's just overthinking things. The things he did were so secretive, how could they possibly be discovered?
Maybe Qin Hao just wanted to show Gu Zheng some documents.
Hearing Gu En's words, Qin Hao's lips remained curved in a smile, while Gu Zheng opened the file folder and began to read.
When he saw some of the photos inside, his first reaction was confusion. But as he looked further down, his expression suddenly turned grim.
Because of their seating positions, Gu En couldn't see what was inside the file folder, but when he saw Gu Zheng's suddenly changed expression, he subconsciously asked a question.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale? What's inside? Can I take a look?"
The worse Gu Zheng's expression became, the more uneasy he felt.
Qin Hao maintained a smiling expression the whole time, and even picked up some grapes from the table and started eating them.
Wow, I don't know why, but the grapes seem especially crisp and sweet today!
Gu Zheng stared in disbelief at the object in his hand. After hearing Gu En's words, he glanced at her instinctively, but instead of answering, he looked up at Qin Hao and asked coldly,
Where did you get these things?
Chapter 185 Gu En Admits
"It doesn't matter where I come from, but I can guarantee that it's absolutely real."
Qin Hao didn't expose Lin Yi, after all, he was a very loyal friend. Although Lin Yi was a bit annoying, he had at least helped him a lot.
Gu Zheng kept looking at Qin Hao, trying to see something in Qin Hao's eyes, but this time Qin Hao did not back down at all and met Gu Zheng's gaze without fear.
Just kidding! This is his most glorious moment, what is he afraid of! After the truth comes out, his brother will definitely be extremely grateful to him!
Qin Hao became more and more smug. From childhood to adulthood, his parents always said that his older brother was better than him and had never done anything wrong. But now, he had done something wrong.
Oh, right, after this is all over, he'll call his mom and tell her he'll definitely praise her.
Gu En had been watching their reactions the whole time. When he saw that Gu Zheng's face was very pale and his hand holding the file bag was even turning white from the force, he couldn't help but ask a question.
"Brother Zheng, what exactly is this? Can I take a look?"
His tone was full of curiosity, and as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zheng turned to look at him.
To be honest, this was the first time Gu En had ever seen such emotions in Gu Zheng's eyes.
Unbelievable, shocking, disappointed, etc.
Gu En felt a little flustered. This was the first time he had ever seen such emotions in Gu Zheng's eyes, especially directed at him.
"Zheng...Brother Zheng, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Zheng wanted to question Gu En, but looking at Gu En's appearance, he couldn't say anything. He still didn't believe that the document was real.
"Can you guarantee that these are true?" Gu Zheng looked at Qin Hao again.
Qin Hao was nearly driven mad with anger upon hearing this.
"Do you think I'm that bored to joke about something like this? Besides, why don't you just question Gu En about these things?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zheng was also taken aback. Indeed, he knew Qin Hao well; no matter how unreliable he was usually, he would never joke about something like this.
Gu Zheng lowered his eyes. Gu En had been listening in a daze, but he had heard what Qin Hao had just said. He wanted to question him.
Why question him? Could it be that I've discovered something about him?
Before Gu En could confirm whether he had really discovered something, Gu Zheng suddenly looked up at him.
"Xiao En, tell me, is your illness real or fake?"
Gu Zheng stared intently at Gu En, wanting to hear a negative answer from Gu En, because he didn't believe Gu En could be that kind of person.
However, the evidence in his hand proves that even if Gu En says no, he still won't believe it.
Upon hearing Gu Zheng's words, Gu En's face instantly turned pale. Although he tried his best to remain composed, Gu Zheng still caught the fleeting panic in his eyes.
Gu Zheng's heart sank to the bottom of the sea. He closed his eyes for a moment, as if waiting for Gu En's final answer.
Gu En was indeed thinking about how to answer Gu Zheng's question, but why? He had been so discreet; how could he have been discovered?
"Gu En, answer me, is your illness real or fake?"
Gu Zheng questioned Gu En again, his tone suddenly turning much colder.
Panicked, Gu En saw the medical records he had placed next to him, and his eyes instantly hardened.
"Of course it's true, Brother Zheng. How could I joke about something like this? The medical record is right here, it has the hospital's certificate in it. Don't you believe me?"
Gu En's face was covered in wounds, and tears were welling up in her eyes, making her look extremely hurt.
Qin Hao, watching Gu En's expression, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Tsk... You're still pretending at a time like this? You should take a good look at what's inside."
Qin Hao threw the documents from Gu Zheng's hands into Gu En's arms. This time, Gu Zheng didn't stop him; he just looked at Gu En with disbelief and hurt in his eyes.
Gu En immediately forgot everything else and picked up the document to read it.
The more he looked, the paler his face became, until finally even his lips lost all color.
These documents are the medical records he had forged at the hospital, along with photos of him making deals with others. All of this has been exposed.
Gu En looked up at Gu Zheng and quickly said,
"Brother Zheng, it's not like that, it's not like that! Let me explain, it's not what you think, it's all fake, it's all fake, I..."
"Gu En," Gu Zheng interrupted Gu En, "you say all of this is fake, then what is real? And what makes you think it's fake?"
"Of course I know! How could I not know my own body? Besides, I've been to other hospitals before, and I'm sure I'm sick. Why don't you believe me, Brother Zheng?"
Even now, Gu En is still stubbornly refusing to admit it.
If he really admitted it, given Zheng Ge's personality, he would definitely hate him. They weren't married yet, and he couldn't let Zheng Ge hate him.
If Zheng Ge hates him, then it proves that there is absolutely no possibility between him and Zheng Ge. How can that be? If there is no possibility with Zheng Ge, what is the point of his life?
Gu Zheng looked at him, but showed no sign of wanting to speak.
"Actually..." Qin Hao began calmly, "It's actually quite simple to find out the real result. Didn't you make an appointment with the doctor? Why don't you just have the doctor examine you later?"
"As for what you said, that this is fake, you can have the doctor who made the fake medical record for you come and prove it on the spot."
Qin Hao's words immediately plunged Gu En's heart into despair, to the point that she could barely conceal the panic in her eyes.
After seeing this, Gu Zheng had no idea what to think. He was completely at a loss as to how to feel about Gu En.
He always thought Gu En was a simple and kind child. After all, he had raised Gu En himself, and he never believed that Gu En would turn out like this.
Gu En panicked completely, knowing that the truth could no longer be hidden. He looked at Gu Zheng with a determined look in his eyes.
Brother Zheng loves him so much, even if it's fake, he definitely won't blame him, right?
"Yes, it was indeed forged by me, but Brother Zheng, I really... really don't want to lose you. I had no other choice but to do this. When I came back and found out that you had already married Xia Ran, I almost wanted to die."
Gu En looked at Gu Zheng, hoping that Gu Zheng would forgive him after hearing these words.
Chapter 186 Gu Zheng's Disappointment with Gu En
But Gu Zheng seemed not to have heard Gu En's words at all. He was looking at Gu En with an extremely unfamiliar gaze, and there seemed to be some struggle and confusion in his eyes.
When Qin Hao saw this, he was utterly shocked. Was his brother really going to forgive Gu En?
How could that be? And if that were the case, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?
But before Qin Hao could speak, the doctor Gu Zheng had arranged arrived, and Qin Hao had to swallow his words.
Although Gu En had just admitted that he was faking his illness, Gu Zheng still coldly ordered the doctor to examine Gu En.
The result was undoubtedly that Gu En was in good health and had no illnesses.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zheng seemed unable to accept it and sat down directly on the sofa, even though he had been standing.
"Qin Hao, see the doctor out."
Gu Zheng lowered his head and gave instructions to Qin Hao. His tone was cold and indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Although Qin Hao was very reluctant, he still nodded in agreement. Anyway, Gu En couldn't escape, and he could slowly expose Gu En after he returned from dropping off the doctor.
Gu En had been pale ever since the doctor arrived and hadn't dared to speak. Only after the doctor and Qin Hao left did he dare to cautiously pull Gu Zheng's hand.
"Brother Zheng, I'm sorry. I was wrong this time. I lied to you, but I really had no choice. I really didn't want to see you and Xia Ran together. I couldn't accept it."
"I can't believe my child calls someone else 'Dad,' I can't believe you like someone else, and I can't believe you treat me the same way you treat me! Brother Zheng, I know you only used Xia Ran as a substitute for me. Now that I'm back, you don't need a substitute anymore. Please forgive me this time, okay?"
Gu En thought that if he acted cute and pitiful as usual, Gu Zheng would soften and feel sorry for him.
But this time, Gu Zheng did not answer him, nor did he say he forgave him. He even pulled his hand away, looking at Gu En with a cold and hurt expression on his face.
"Are you sure this is the only thing you're hiding from me? What exactly happened with Xia Ran? How did he find out that she was a stand-in?"
Gu Zheng wasn't stupid. The reason he hadn't thought about this issue deeply before was simply because he trusted Gu En and felt that Gu En wasn't that kind of person.
