Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories Chapter 964 - Difficulty

Chapter 964: Difficulty

Gu Yuanli’s story was really simple.

He was born and raised in Ghost City. Since he was young, he was raised very strictly by Second Old Master Gu. The brothers were all respectful to one another. As Second Old Master Gu was trying to cultivate his eldest son, Gu Yuanli was jealous of his Big Brother. Yet, he was envious of him and admired him too. He constantly tried to perform to his best around Second Old Master Gu.

Since they were young, he was the most unruly one among the brothers.

When he was twelve, Black Rose appeared. A woman who claimed to be his mother appeared and misled him about the truth regarding the death of his birth parents. She pushed all the blame to Second Old Master Gu. Black Rose still had information in Ghost City. When he was young, she purposely set him up and hid half of the story.

As a rebellious youth who was smart but lacked experience, he trusted Black Rose as he was deprived of motherly love. Under Black Rose’s commands, he almost killed the Fang Hongxiu, who was already in a vegetative state.

Yet ultimately, he did not dare to.

That year, Fang Hongxiu, who was unconscious for many years, suddenly had some response. He was the first one to notice, and he could not bear to hurt her, but he was misled. As Fang Hongxiu was the third party who came between Black Rose and Second Old Master Gu, she was the murderer of his father.

He was unwilling to let Fang Hongxiu wake up.

He was unwilling for the murderer’s family to be living in harmony. Hence, he contacted Black Rose.

Black Rose sent people to give him a type of poison and made him apply it on Fang Hongxiu. She also told him that it would not cause death for Fang Hongxiu but only make her unconscious. He did the evil job of applying the poison on her. He knew nothing about the water lily.

Gu Yuanli said, “I really know nothing about the water lily thing. Back then, I asked her what would happen if my mother woke up midway through? She told me not to worry. I knew she had her ways. Those years, other than Ah Xi, Pa was the one looking after Mom. I won’t suspect them. So, I suspected that it was the water lily.

“The person growing and looking after the water lilies is not from Ghost City. One of them was exceptionally suspicious. I only noticed this after I returned back to the nation. Mom was poisoned. The poison is hard to remove. Even if I suspected it, it was to no avail. Mom had always been unconscious. The people at home had already gotten used to it. Pa is also used to it. We are already readily prepared for Mom to be in deep sleep for the rest of her life. I’m afraid if this matter gets exposed… Pa will kick me out of the house and cause this family to be chaotic. So… I didn’t say it.”

Gu Xie sat at a side. His jaw dropped.

His brain was ringing.

“No way. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe this.”

His biological mother was a maniac. His biological brother caused his Mom to be unconscious. He hid such a big secret.

He had always been living in the shadow.

Gu Yuanli said, “I can’t say it. If I said it, she…”

She would come and look for Gu Xie.

This was the most important reason, but he did not wish to say it.

If he did, it might cause psychological stress on Gu Xie.

Fourth Brother looked at Gu Xie. After all, they were brothers for so many years, and he was also the closest to Second Brother. He immediately understood how surprised he was.

“Second Brother, you went too… overboard,” Fourth Brother said. Even if it was for Gu Xie, he should not have done that. Pa would be so sad and disappointed. Mom could have woken up earlier, yet she was in deep sleep for so many years for no reason.

“I know. I have committed grave mistakes that cannot be forgiven. There are many things that I can’t control,” Gu Yuanli said. “You don’t even know how vicious and clever Black Rose is. If I were to expose the entire truth, all of us might not be alive.”

Gu Yuanli said, “She… wouldn’t let me say it.”
