Chapter 1181: It’s Not Your Fault That You’re An Illegitimate Child

Gu Zheng had completely forgotten how he knew Qiao Xi back then and why they became senior and junior. He and Qiao Xi seemed to have never mentioned the past as if they had both forgotten about it.

Before he could react, the scene in his dream suddenly changed. He saw a teenage girl with pigtails. She was wearing dungarees and carrying a heavy backpack. Inside was a laptop and some spare parts that she had taken from Mu Ming. The backpack was very heavy, but the moment she saw him, the girl ran toward him quickly.

When Black Tide was about to reach him, she suddenly staggered. Her eyes were red as she looked up at him weakly. “Senior, I almost fell! Come and help me!”

Mo Yuan recalled her actions just now. She was clearly pretending, but she looked so cute. He did not expose Black Tide’s trick. Instead, he quickly walked in front of her, helped her up, and put her backpack on himself.

He was carrying a pink backpack, but there was nothing strange about it. The two of them looked so compatible when they stood together that pa.s.sersby could not help but take another look at them. They sighed at how good being young was.

At this moment, Gu Zheng was like a soul that had lost its body. He stood not far away and watched this scene. He had never seen Qiao Xi when she was young, but he seemed to be very familiar with her in his dream.

Qiao Xi had liked to pretend to be weak since a young age and deliberately pretended to fall to make others pity her. At that time, he did not expose her just like how he indulged in her now. There was a trace of affection in his eyes.

Did this scene really happen, or was it just his imagination?

The girl and the gloomy man walked side by side. After a long silence, Mo Yuan said, “Did you hear what they said?”

Black Tide did not hide anything and replied frankly, “Yes, I did!”

Mo Yuan’s face darkened, and his entire body seemed to be emitting black fog.

Gu Zheng did not know what had happened before, but from Mo Yuan’s expression, he could guess that only that matter could embarra.s.s him so much. As an illegitimate son, he had to bear the malice of everyone.

At that time, he was already 20 years old. He founded Gu Corporation and completely controlled the Gu family. His heart, which was riddled with holes, became even colder. He no longer cared about the rumors outside, but he was afraid that Black Tide would find out.

The 20-year-old Mo Yuan had already opened his heart and silently doted on Black Tide. This meant that he cared about Black Tide very much, so he did not want Black Tide to know his unbearable ident.i.ty and past.

The next second, a cold smile appeared on Mo Yuan’s face, and his eyes were a little distant. “That’s right. I’m an illegitimate child and everyone hates me, so it’s not surprising that you hate me too.”

Black Tide widened her eyes and shook her head. “I don’t hate you, Senior! I won’t laugh at you just because you’re an illegitimate child. Besides, it’s not your fault that you’re an illegitimate child. You can’t deny all your efforts just because of your ident.i.ty!”

Mo Yuan’s pupils constricted. Gu Zheng, who was floating in the air, also had a change in expression as his heart ached.

Half a year ago, when he and Qiao Xi got married, Qiao Xi had no idea that he was Mo Yuan. Later on, Huang Lilan and Meng Wan came to the house and he asked Qiao Xi the same question. At that time, Qiao Xi’s answer was exactly the same.

Gu Zheng was even more confused. Why was he having this dream? Was it really a dream or something that had happened before?

At this moment, Mo Yuan, who was in his dream, was stunned on the spot when he heard Qiao Xi’s words. His eyes were filled with shock and confusion. From the moment he was born, he had been hated by everyone. The Lu family was unwilling to accept him, and the Gu family wished for him to die. He was a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, and no one had ever said that it was not his fault that he was an illegitimate child.

At that moment, a trace of light seemed to appear on Black Tide’s body, filling his dark heart with warmth and melting his already cold and scarred heart.

He pursed his lips tightly, and his body trembled slightly. That was the first time he felt warmth. In the past, even if he felt kindness, it was only fleeting as if the heavens were just doing some charity work. But now, he really felt warmth. It was as if the noon sun was shining on him, and his entire body was warm.

Black Tide did not think much about this small act of kindness. To her, her senior treated her very well, so she did not care about his ident.i.ty. She did not care about what outsiders thought of her senior.

The two of them sat on the bench and chatted. Gu Zheng actually saw a smile on the 20-year-old Mo Yuan’s face. It was so unfamiliar. Was this really a dream?
