"The Xie Chiyuan you just praised is not a kind person; he's family."
"She is the sister-in-law that the eldest brother found."
After the last sentence, Gu Ainan's mind went blank. He reflexively denied it three times: "Impossible, no way, don't talk nonsense."
How could An'an and Xie Chiyuan suddenly be connected?
Seeing Gu Ainan's equally shocked expression, Si Zai finally felt a little better.
very good.
He wasn't the only one stunned by this!
Chapter 150
Gu Ainan was stunned by the news and it took her a long time to recover.
"Xiao Jiu".
Gu Ainan's gaze fell on Jiu Zai, who lowered his head guiltily.
"Is what Fourth Brother said true?!"
Before leaving, Gu Ainan overheard Qin Sang's instructions. Qin Sang told him to keep an eye out for suitable girls for An'an.
However, in Gu Ainan's mind, An'an had not lived much in society and lacked social experience, so she did not need to find a partner too early.
In particular, his partner is the boss of the West District.
"Dad Gu, I'm sorry, I should have told you sooner."
Xiao Jiu was the best at acting cute. He leaned closer and nuzzled Gu Ainan, saying, "I didn't mean to keep it from you. I just felt that it would be more meaningful for my older brother to tell you this in person!"
Gu Ainan: "..."
Gu Ainan almost went completely blind.
Seeing this, the other children also stopped fighting. They surrounded their father, trying to comfort him: "Big brother has been with Xie Chiyuan for a long time, and he hasn't made any mistakes yet!"
He didn't have any of those traits: womanizing, domestic violence, or promiscuity.
The kids are keeping a very close eye on him!
After some persuasion, Qi Zai made a surprising statement: "Dad Gu, my eldest brother and sister-in-law have already slept together. We can't break off the engagement with my sister-in-law."
As someone who's been through it all, Qi Zai knows perfectly well what his older brother and sister-in-law have done.
Gu Ainan hadn't even processed the news that her baby was with Xie Chiyuan when she was forced to hear that her baby was cooking with someone else...
He swayed, and if it weren't for Qiuqiu supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.
Chiu Chiu gently patted his back, coaxing him, "Don't get excited, it's bad for your health."
The kids originally just wanted their father to discover the truth on his own, but they didn't expect him to react so strongly.
So, all the kids started trying their best to coax their father.
Gu Ainan was tied up by the kids, while Yu An was completely unaware of what was happening. He rested for a while but couldn't fall asleep, so he simply picked up his phone.
The mobile phone forums are going crazy right now.
Everyone is talking about the vaccine; they've been waiting for this news for a very, very long time.
Yu An was infected by everyone's excitement, and her mood improved as well.
I don't know how much time passed.
Just as Yu An was scrolling through her phone and almost fell asleep, Gu Ainan was led back to her room by the children.
The door opened.
Yu An subconsciously looked towards the doorway, where a tall, familiar figure stood against the backlight.
It's Dad.
Yu An sat up, staring blankly as her father approached little by little.
The children were overjoyed to see their eldest brother wake up.
The tiger cub even took a picture of its older brother, then lowered its head to show the picture to the older cub.
"You don't need to rush over, your brother is fine now."
The father and son were finally reunited. Yu An looked at his father, who seemed to have aged a lot. He had a lot to say, but he couldn't say a word.
The thoughtful little chirp led the other little ones away: "Let's go outside, let's wait outside for a while!"
Mr. Gu wanted to talk to his older brother, so they needed to leave for a moment.
One by one, the children left, leaving only Yu An and Gu Ainan in the room.
The children also closed the door.
Yu An sat on the bed, staring intently at his father, his voice a little hoarse: "Dad."
"Why."
Gu Ainan walked to his bedside, bent down, and hugged him.
Back when they were in the research institute, Yu An and Gu Ainan didn't have many opportunities to meet.
Gu Ainan was mostly taciturn and serious, and there was no warm intimacy between them.
But Yu'an still loves her father very much; between blood relatives, love is innate.
"I called you many times and sent you many messages, but you didn't reply to me."
"Dad, I can't find you anywhere."
Gu Ainan ruffled his hair, her eyes a little red: "There's no signal where Dad is, so he can't receive your messages."
Gu Ainan knew very well that even if he didn't go out to see Yu An, his An'an would be fine.
No matter how harsh the external environment becomes, his An'an always manages to survive.
Even though I know rationally that the child is safe, I still worry emotionally.
The father and son hugged for a while before Yu An's emotions gradually calmed down.
He raised the back of his hand and rubbed his eyes haphazardly.
Once she calmed down, Yu An was finally able to ask her father all the questions she had been holding back.
"Dad, is the Secret Shield Research Institute good or bad?"
This research institute belongs to my grandmother, and Yu An wants to know what the research institute does.
When Gu Ainan saw that he asked this question right away, she hesitated for a moment before answering him: "The research institute belongs to your maternal grandmother, but the original research team inside was not under your maternal grandmother's control."
The original leader of that brilliant research team was Yu Nan.
However, Yu Nan's health deteriorated later, and she was no longer able to take on the leadership role.
The team gradually started acting strangely, researching mutants, cyborgs, and various biological viruses.
Initially, they simply conducted various research projects within the research institute. Their research findings were not shared outside; the institute acted more like a gentle constraint, keeping them confined to the institute to expend their energy and preventing them from causing trouble outside.
Later, the variant leaked out, the virus leaked out...
They've already experimented on themselves; killing them is impossible.
Before she died, Yu Nan not only saved her son's life, but also set a trap for these people.
When reminiscing about the past, Yu Nan is always an unavoidable topic.
Gu Ainan spoke slowly while observing Yu An's expression.
He deliberately downplayed Yu Nan's presence.
This was what Yu Nan had told him. On the night she passed away, Yu Nan held An An in her arms and said to him, "Don't tell An An how I died. Just tell him that I loved him very much."
Most other children have mothers; it's her who has wronged An'an.
She couldn't give An'an a healthy body, nor could she give him a mother to accompany him as he grew up.
Gu Ainan's deliberate avoidance was noticed by Yu An.
"Dad, there are many questions you haven't explained clearly."
Yu An was very clever; he noticed the flaws in Gu Ainan's story.
Gu Ainan smiled but didn't explain further. He simply said, "Things from the past happened too long ago; there's no point in bringing them up now."
"We should just live in the present."
Yu An frowned. His father said that his grandmother was not a bad person and that she loved him very much.
"When are we going to bring Grandma out?"
"Wait a little longer."
Gu Ainan didn't give a specific time, but he comforted Yu An: "Grandma will take good care of herself, and you will see her again in the future."
"Um!"
After discussing family matters, Gu Ainan became the one asking questions.
"An'an."
Gu Ainan wasn't a mother after all, so asking about her child's feelings always felt a bit strange.
But Yu An doesn't have a mother, so he can only take on the responsibility of being a mother as well: "Dad wants to ask you something."
"Ask away."
Yu An sat next to him, wanting to be closer to her father.
After a few seconds of deliberation, Gu Ainan asked, "What is your relationship with Xie Chiyuan now?"
Yu An: "..."
Yu An instantly stiffened.
His mind raced, unsure how to tell his father the truth.
