Chapter 1120: An Xi’s Unexpected Decision
Jiangcheng, after Gu Anxi followed Bo Xichen back for several days, Wang Kefu finally returned, covered in injuries from another beating.
He lay in bed for days, groaning and unable to get up.
Old Wang, although he didn’t ask, after inquiring with his eldest son’s associates, knew he’d gone to Beicheng and understood everything. He became furious, wanting to scold him, but seeing him half-dead could only be angry inside.
On this side, Gu Anxi knew he was back, so she went to have a look...
Wang Kefu was lying on his bedroom bed, with no one around, originally fine, quietly enduring, but upon hearing a commotion at the door, he immediately started to moan, pretending to be in pain. He knew Old Wang was furious with him and hadn’t intended to let him off easily. Wasn’t he supposed to act dumb and play it nice?
After crying out for quite a while, he discovered it was Gu Anxi who came in, relaxed, and rolled over: "Anxi, it’s you."
Gu Anxi sat on the sofa opposite the bed, tossing him a box of medicine: "My mom sent me to check on you."
Wang Kefu picked up the medicine, and his heart immediately felt a bit better: "You little rascal have some conscience after all."
He cheerfully hummed a song, stretching his legs to apply the medicine. After applying, he felt comfortable again and hummed, "Good stuff."
He picked it up to have a look: "Is it the Bo Family’s ancestral good medicine?"
Gu Anxi, propping her chin with her hand asked: "Uncle, how out of your mind were you to send yourself to Beicheng to get beaten by Lu Heng?"
At the mention of Lu Heng, Wang Kefu burst into anger, latching onto Gu Anxi to complain: "Anxi, you tell me, is this reasonable? I kindly went to Beicheng to visit him, knowing his leg was injured, I kindly offered to take care of him. And how does he repay me? Without distinguishing right from wrong, he beat me up. If it wasn’t for my lucky survival, I would’ve been done in by him."
He spat: "He is really something."
Gu Anxi laughed: "Who’s the real problem here, uncle isn’t unclear in his heart. Don’t you know why Lu Heng beat you?"
Wang Kefu felt guilty and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Anxi, I heard from Old Wang that you are returning to Beicheng after the new year and not coming back to Jiangcheng?"
Gu Anxi mumbled vaguely, and Wang Kefu quickly followed up: "I’ll visit you if I can, I wonder if you’re still mad at uncle."
"Visit me?" Gu Anxi feigned a surprised look: "Is uncle coming to see me or Dr. Lu?"
Wang Kefu felt embarrassed all of a sudden, after a long while he said: "I’m just concerned, you mentioned his leg is like that, he’s young and not married, how’s he supposed to manage for the rest of his life."
"Uncle really knows how to worry." Gu Anxi chuckled, then coughed lightly: "Who said Lu Heng isn’t married with kids, his two sons are several years old already, uncle didn’t know?"
Now, Wang Kefu was dumbstruck, his mouth agape for quite a while.
Gu Anxi took out her phone, showing him the photos with a smile...
In the photos, there were two particularly beautiful and cute boys, looking five or six years old, resembling Lu Heng.
Lu Heng was resting on the hospital bed while the two children obediently sat on the sofa...
Wang Kefu kept looking left and right, only spoke after a long time: "Are they really his kids?"
"If they’re not his kids, are they yours?" Gu Anxi retrieved the phone, "He has his sons to take care of him."
Wang Kefu continued to ask: "What about his wife? I hadn’t heard of such a person before."
"She left. Lu Heng’s leg is like that, she left the kids with him and ran off." Gu Anxi lied with her eyes open, watching Wang Kefu’s hopeful look, she rolled her eyes: "Uncle, don’t go to Beicheng to get beaten again, next time he might not tolerate you, isn’t it obvious he dislikes you?"
Wang Kefu felt quite dejected: "I thought we were friends."
Gu Anxi coughed lightly: "Without those equipment, would he interact with you? You say you’re friends with him, what does he see in you? He’s grown up abroad, those 26 English letters you can’t even recite fully. You’ve seen his looks, many female stars chase him. If he wants, he can achieve international fame, winning more awards than the marriage certificates you’ve gotten. Tell me, what does he see in you?"
Wang Kefu suddenly bristled: "Anxi, your words are too harsh."
"The words may be harsh, but isn’t this the truth?" Gu Anxi sighed lightly: "Uncle, you’re not young anymore, wouldn’t it be good to settle down properly?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Kefu felt a pang in his heart, lowered his head, and said somewhat quietly: "Anxi, honestly, I actually regret it. I shouldn’t have divorced your aunt... although I was briefly fascinated by Shen Wanqing, but that was it, women outside might be good but they have motives. I admit I’m a useless man..."
Speaking, he grabbed a cigarette and lit it, taking a hard puff, suddenly remembered Gu Anxi was there, and quickly put it out.
Gu Anxi leaned on the sofa, playing with her phone with one hand: "If you can’t be a good husband, at least live properly, be a good father, Xiaochao is your son, not that driver’s. He can take care of his wife and children, but you are different, you are the biological father. You have responsibilities to take, instead of going to Beicheng to take care of some Dr. Lu, you have nothing to do with him."
Wang Kefu still felt some regret and reluctance, but he wasn’t foolish, having reached this point he knew Anxi was right...
He was silent for a while, then asked: "So today you came to see uncle, is there another matter?"
Gu Anxi nodded: "Yes, I actually came to apologize for causing you to get beaten several times recently."
She suddenly became so courteous, Wang Kefu was rather uncomfortable, touched his head: "Actually this isn’t your fault, I brought it upon myself."
He looked up at the ceiling and sighed: "I thought that was a celestial figure, it was me who wanted to eat swan meat, can’t blame others."
Gu Anxi added: "I’ll be returning to Beicheng after the new year, the Wang business here is being handed back to the Wang Family, uncle, do you have any thoughts?"
"Thoughts?" Wang Kefu smiled slightly bitterly: "What thoughts could I have, I’ll just continue as the deputy general manager, idly eating, I’m not suited for it, Kegui is more capable than me."
He was pretty sensible, and had gained self-awareness, which was a good thing. But then Gu Anxi said: "I intend to transfer the shares to uncle... I mean all of them."
Wang Kefu was stupefied, his mouth wide open unable to close...
Did he hear incorrectly?
After a while, he stammered: "Why?"
Gu Anxi smiled lightly: "No reason, of course it’s compensation for uncle."
Wang Kefu slapped his thigh, grinned and laughed: "Anxi, you little rascal have some conscience, uncle always thought you were beautiful, kind-hearted and lovely, now it’s clear, uncle didn’t misjudge you!"
