A cool breeze blew, and the picturesque path on the campus was covered with parasol leaves.
Shen Qianqian was wearing sunglasses and a hat as she walked with Mother Liu.
Shen Qianqian and Mother Liu arrived at the school on the agreed date with Xiao Kong. Sure enough, they saw that the campus was full of people because of the football game.
Shen Qianqian and Mother Liu mingled among the parents. She lowered her head and said, "I'll find a place where you can see later. You can go and accompany Xiao Kong."
"Okay, Qianqian, don't worry. I'll take good care of Xiao Kong."
Mother Liu found Xiao Kong according to the guidance of the school teacher and sat in the designated seat. Shen Qianqian and two or three other people sat in a small idle area on the stands.
Before the football game started, Xiao Kong and Mother Liu sat together. He looked in the direction Mother Liu pointed and saw Shen Qianqian in disguise.
Although Shen Qianqian covered herself up tightly and only showed her chin, Xiao Kong still saw her at a glance.
Xiao Kong reached out his hand with a bright smile and shook it at Shen Qianqian. Shen Qianqian didn't dare to make a big movement, but she still put her hand in front of her body and waved it slightly. She even made a gesture of encouragement that wasn't obvious.
Shen Qianqian's attention had been on Xiao Kong the entire time, so she did not notice that a pair of deep eyes had been watching her and Xiao Kong's interactions from a high vantage point.
"Mr. Gu, every time you come, you bring us good news. I really don't know how to thank you." The principal of Beisi Bilingual School personally brought a cup of tea to Gu Hecheng. "I didn't expect you to be the honorary consultant of our school. Not only did you donate to us, but you also donated a library and 30,000 books. Thank you so much."
Gu Hecheng took the tea and thanked him. He said lightly, "You don't have to be so polite. It's nothing."
"How can it be nothing?" The principal rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "You don't know. Since someone found out that you invested in our school, many investors also invested. Not only that, many people came directly for you …"
After the principal talked to himself for a while, he realized that Gu Hecheng didn't respond. It seemed that he wasn't paying attention to this topic at all. Therefore, he coughed awkwardly and changed the topic. "So, are you satisfied with the office we prepared for you?"
"Actually, there are better offices in the administrative building. I think it's much better than here. If you don't like it, we can … "
"There's no need. I think it's pretty good here. At least the view is broad." Gu Hecheng's gaze never left the stands on the field. He then turned around with a smile. His expression was much gentler as he said to the principal, "Anyway, I may only use this office once on a whim. If I ask for a better place, it will take up the school's resources. That's not good."
"Okay, isn't the football match about to start? I'll go down and take a look. " Gu Hecheng walked past the principal. The principal was flattered to find that he seemed to be particularly interested in football recently. He immediately said, "President Gu, why don't I go down with you?"
However, this sentence made the aura around Gu Hecheng, who had stopped in his tracks, immediately become much colder.
Gu Hecheng turned around. Although his gaze was calm and his voice was soft, to the principal, it seemed like a thunderbolt.
"There's no need. I'm just looking around. You don't have to pay too much attention to me." Gu Hecheng paused. "It's not good for you to be too close in the past."
After Gu Hecheng finished speaking, he put one hand in his pocket and left without looking back.
Gu Hecheng stood at the edge of the stands on the field. He first glanced at the game that had already started. Then, he calmly walked over to Shen Qianqian as if nothing had happened.
When Gu Hecheng first sat down, Shen Qianqian was so focused on the game that she didn't notice him at all.
About five minutes later, she finally realized that there was a burning gaze staring at her from the side. She instinctively turned around. When she saw Gu Hecheng's handsome side profile, she was so shocked that she stood up abruptly and almost screamed.
Shen Qianqian stood up and looked at Gu Hecheng in disbelief. In the few seconds that she didn't react, Gu Hecheng curled his lips and stared at her with a meaningful smile.
"Where are you going?" When Shen Qianqian finally reacted and wanted to leave, Gu Hecheng suddenly grabbed her wrist. He didn't care that they were in the stadium where everyone was watching.
Shen Qianqian didn't dare to struggle too loudly. She was afraid of being discovered by others. Most importantly, she was afraid of being discovered by Xiao Kong and Mother Liu. However, Gu Hecheng seemed to have grasped her weakness and saw through her thoughts. He calmly walked up to her and even used an ambiguous posture to whisper in her ear, "Talk to me if you don't want Xiao Kong to know."
"You …" Shen Qianqian looked at him speechlessly. She remembered that Xiao Kong had seen him before, so she turned her head to look at him with concern.
Fortunately, Xiao Kong was on the court, and Mother Liu was focused on watching the game. They didn't notice her, so if she really didn't want to attract their attention, leaving now was indeed the best choice.
Due to the limitations of the situation, Shen Qianqian could only compromise for the time being. She obediently let Gu Hecheng pull her away by the wrist.
Gu Hecheng pulled Shen Qianqian's wrist all the way to the office he had just obtained. Only then did he let go of her hand.
On the way here, Shen Qianqian tried to break free from his hand when they reached places with fewer people. However, this time, Gu Hecheng's attitude was very firm. No matter what, he refused to let go.
Shen Qianqian frowned and rubbed her swollen wrist. She looked at Gu Hecheng without saying a word. She was very vigilant.
In Gu Hecheng's eyes, she looked like an angry kitten. He wanted to pat her head, but he didn't dare to approach her.
"What are you doing here?" The two of them confronted each other for a while. In the end, Shen Qianqian asked first.
"Then what are you doing here?" In the face of Shen Qianqian's questioning, Gu Hecheng suddenly retorted calmly. It was as if he had a card up his sleeve that could be used against Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian belatedly realized that there was no need to discuss the ins and outs of the matter with him here, so she turned to leave. However, before her hand could touch the door handle, Gu Hecheng had already pulled her back. He locked the door and pressed her against the wall.
"You're so flustered when you see me. You want to leave so badly? And you said that you have nothing to hide from me? " Gu Hecheng had a smile on his face. He seemed to be teasing Shen Qianqian, but he didn't know whether to tear her apart or hug her.
Shen Qianqian turned her face away awkwardly. Seeing that she couldn't break free for a while, she said meekly, "Okay, if you want to say something, then say it. Let go of me first."
"What if I say no?" Gu Hecheng flirtatiously took off Shen Qianqian's hat and sunglasses. He forced her to look into his eyes.
"Since you don't want to say it, I'll say it first." Gu Hecheng smiled faintly. "I'm here to see my child. What about you? You're also here to see Xiao Kong, right? "
Shen Qianqian felt as though her heart was about to explode from Gu Hecheng's mouth. She looked at Gu Hecheng, who was so calm. She was sure that Gu Hecheng knew, but she just didn't want to face it.
"I've said that Xiao Kong isn't your child. He's the child I gave birth to when I was raped. Are you satisfied? Otherwise, why would you hide him … Mm …"
Before Shen Qianqian could finish her words, her chin was suddenly grabbed by the angry Gu Hecheng.
Gu Hecheng stared fiercely at Shen Qianqian. He had given Shen Qianqian time and time again to come clean, but she wasn't willing to cherish it.
"Do you really think that I don't know? Fine, let's not talk about it for now. Even if I believe that you're telling the truth, don't you think that I won't investigate it?" Gu Hecheng flung his hand away. "If something had really happened back then, do you think that I would have let them live until now? Don't think that I haven't investigated it."
"Also, even if you deny it a hundred times, what about this?" Gu Hecheng walked to the table and took out the file he had just put in. He threw it into Shen Qianqian's arms.
"Take a look at it yourself. What else do you have to say …"
Shen Qianqian looked at the file and pursed her lips nervously. Her whole body trembled and she didn't dare to reach out to take it.
However, under Gu Hecheng's sharp gaze, she finally opened the file and took out the information inside.
The truth was just as she had expected. Gu Hecheng had really investigated it thoroughly.
"You … When did you investigate it? How did you … "Shen Qianqian's hands drooped weakly. Her eyes were unfocused as she asked in a daze.
"As long as I want to know, there's nothing that I can't do. So, even if you've seen this file, do you still want to deny that it's not my child?"
Gu Hecheng's forceful and oppressive words finally brought Shen Qianqian back to her senses. She finally stopped denying it and looked at him with a pleading gaze.
"You … you can't go near him. You can't take him away."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Qianqian looked at Gu Hecheng with eyes full of tears. She looked so pitiful that it made one's heart ache.
Shen Qianqian's heartbroken expression seemed to have struck Gu Hecheng's heart. It made all the anger and resentment he had accumulated disappear in an instant.
