Chapitre 74

"Do you still want to tell me who you are? If not, I'm hanging up."

The security guard was starting to have doubts. Did this person even know the Gu family?

Upon hearing this, Gu En immediately snapped out of her daze and spoke up.

"Uncle Wang, it's me, it's Xiao En, I... I'm back, could you come out and greet me?"

Actually, Gu En was very nervous when she said those words.

One reason is that he was already 'dead' in the eyes of the Gu family.

Another point is that Uncle Wang and the others have never really liked him; they've always treated him like a guest, very politely.

In the past, he wouldn't have needed to worry about what Uncle Wang and the others thought, but not now. After all these years of experience, he has long since learned many principles of interpersonal relationships.

Besides, it's Uncle Wang who's answering the phone now. What if Uncle Wang doesn't come out to pick him up?

On the other side, Uncle Wang, who was holding the phone at Gu's house, was stunned when he heard Gu En's words. He was even a little incredulous, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Wang Bo didn't speak, and Gu En felt increasingly uncertain, but in order to get back, he spoke again.

"Uncle Wang, could you...could you come out and meet me? I'm waiting at the door right now. Or maybe my brother isn't home? Could you ask him to come out and meet me? I..."

Gu En's voice suddenly became choked up, sounding very aggrieved.

Upon hearing the voice again, Uncle Wang no longer doubted whether he had misheard, and it was indeed Gu En's voice.

Although it has been five years, he still feels very familiar with that voice.

Although he was shocked that the dead would reappear, Uncle Wang still responded and said he would go out now.

After receiving Wang Bo's approval, Gu En felt relieved.

After hanging up the phone, Uncle Wang felt dizzy, but he managed to pull himself together and go out.

He had to go out and check it out, whether it was true or not.

If it's not true, then someone is deliberately playing a prank on this.

He couldn't just ignore the fact that they were making jokes about their family.

If it's true...

Uncle Wang's expression changed slightly, and then he quickened his pace considerably.

When he went outside, he did see someone waiting there from a distance.

Uncle Wang was getting old and his eyesight wasn't very good, so he could only see one person but couldn't make out who it was.

Chapter 104 Uncontrollable Jealousy

But when he saw someone standing there waiting, Wang Bo had a very bad feeling.

When he got closer and saw who was waiting there, even though he had lived most of his life and had one foot in the grave, he was still stunned in shock.

This person really is Gu En. Who was the one they buried in the other place?

Gu En was very excited to see Uncle Wang come out. He waved to Uncle Wang and said excitedly,

"Uncle Wang, it's me! I'm here!"

His excitement was genuine; after five years, he was finally back.

Already shocked, Uncle Wang looked at Gu En with an even more complicated expression after hearing her voice, unsure of how to react.

But he was certain that the person in front of him was Gu En, who had supposedly "died" back then...

But they were certain the person was dead back then, so how could they possibly be back now?

And now that Gu En is back, what will happen to Xia Ran?

Given their young master's personality, if Gu En were to return, Xia Ran would...

When Gu En saw that Uncle Wang was just staring at him without reacting for a long time, he thought that Uncle Wang couldn't believe it, so he took Uncle Wang's hand and said,

"Uncle Wang, don't be afraid, I'm alive. Look, I still have a temperature, I'm warm."

The security guards nearby had been observing Gu En and his group, intentionally or unintentionally.

When he suddenly heard Gu En say those words, he was speechless for a moment.

Anyone with normal eyesight can tell it's a living person, right? Do I have to repeat myself?

The security guard checked the weather. Although the sun had already set, it was still daylight. Even if there were ghosts, they couldn't possibly come out in broad daylight, right?

Uncle Wang and the others had no idea what the security guard was thinking, because he was now 100% certain that the person in front of him was indeed Gu En.

But the face is indeed real; whether it's someone else impersonating him or not, he needs to test it again.

However, this is not the place to talk.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Since it wasn't yet certain whether the person in front of him was truly Gu En, Uncle Wang didn't call for anyone. He simply said he'd talk about it later and then turned and went back.

Although Gu En was somewhat unhappy with Wang Bo's attitude towards him, he could understand it after thinking about it.

After all, if someone who has been 'dead' for so many years suddenly reappears, he will also be suspicious.

But as long as he can come back, that's all that matters. As for his attitude, we can talk about that later.

Returning to this familiar place again, Gu En couldn't help but tear up.

Although Uncle Wang was walking in front, he was also secretly observing Gu En's every move.

When he looked at the emotions in Gu En's eyes, he already had some ideas in his mind.

But it was just a thought; he still couldn't believe it.

When they arrived at the gate, Gu En couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

Uncle Wang frowned and said...

"Stop crying at the door, come in and tell me what's wrong."

Gu En heard this and quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

He's back now, he can't cry anymore. Everything is moving in a positive direction, so what is there for him to cry about?

As she entered the courtyard, Gu En almost burst into tears again, despite having managed to hold them back.

This place remains exactly the same as it was back then, without any changes.

The living room was decorated and furnished in a way he was familiar with, with only a few more small items added.

"I can't believe that after all these years, my home hasn't changed at all..."

As soon as she entered the living room, Gu En muttered something to herself.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang paused in his steps, then glanced at Gu En again.

This place has indeed remained unchanged.

The main reason is that their young master is reluctant to change the decor, and as for the reason...

Thinking of this, Uncle Wang glanced at Gu En again.

Gu En was walking around the living room, her hand brushing against the sofa, walls, table...

Seeing this, Uncle Wang also spoke up.

"You say you are Xiao En? But Xiao En died back then, and we personally sent him to be cremated."

Hearing what Uncle Wang said, Gu En stopped and looked at Uncle Wang, saying,

“Uncle Wang, the matter back then was very complicated, but I wasn’t the one you sent for cremation. I had an accident back then, and I’ve only just been found.”

"By the way, Uncle Wang, what about Gu Zheng... and... and the child? How has the child been all these years? I'm sorry... I... I'm not a good father, but I'll make it up to the child this time I'm back."

Gu En looked at Uncle Wang nervously. Actually, he should call Gu Zheng "brother," but he remembered that he hadn't come back to be Gu Zheng's younger brother, so he changed his address to Gu Zheng.

He was so focused on the familiar surroundings when he entered that he didn't think about Gu Zheng and the child until now, since the child hadn't shown up.

Originally, Uncle Wang did not believe the Gu En in front of him, or rather, he knew that this was Gu En, but he was unwilling to believe it.

Because Gu En's return means that this family is likely to fall apart.

But now that he heard Gu En mention the child, Uncle Wang was 100% certain that the person in front of him was Gu En.

"Neither the child nor the young master are home," Uncle Wang said.

"Not home?" Gu En asked instinctively. "Then where did they go? Did Brother Zheng take the kids out to play?"

Gu En didn't mention Xia Ran at all, acting as if he knew nothing about Xia Ran's existence.

Uncle Wang thought for a moment and then nodded, saying,

"Yes, they went out to play and won't be home for the next few days."

"What? They won't be home? Where did they go? Why are they going away for several days?"

Gu En was truly shocked. He had thought that Gu Zheng and Xia Ran had simply taken the children out to play.

But now he hasn't come back for several days. Could it be that he went on a short trip?

Thinking of this, Gu En's expression turned slightly unpleasant.

Looking at Gu En, Uncle Wang made a decision and spoke.

"Young Master En, please sit down first. Let me tell you about what has happened to the eldest young master in the past few years."

Upon hearing this, Gu En sat down on the sofa. In fact, he already knew roughly what Gu Zheng had been up to in recent years from Ji Luo's investigation.

But for now, he still needs to pretend he doesn't know anything to avoid giving himself away.

"Uncle Wang, what happened? Has Brother Zheng and the others been having a hard time these past few years? Tell me where they are now? I'll go find them."

Gu En said, looking like she was about to cry.

"No, don't overthink it. The young master and the others have been doing well all these years," Uncle Wang reassured them.

Gu En then followed up on Wang Bo's topic and pretended to calm down.

Uncle Wang slowly recounted the events of the past few years, though he only picked out a few key points. However, he did mention Gu Chen's situation.

As for Xia Ran's matter, Uncle Wang spoke about it last.
