Chapter 54 The Truth That Scares You as Well

Gu Baisheng slightly opened her mouth when she was held by him like this.

She still wanted to hide who she really was.

But suddenly, a gingerly and noticeable sound came from the door, "Could you... please help me to find Bobo first?"

Gu Baisheng turned around to look for the sound.

It was Zhang Kai who was so drunk but still insisted on finding Qu Xiaobo.

Zhang Kai looked at them pathetically.

Song Shuang seemed not to be able to hear anything when he was holding Gu Baisheng.

Gu Baisheng pushed Song Shuang slightly, "Song Shuang..."

Song Shuang didn't even move.

Gu Baisheng didn't have the heart to ignore Zhang Kai who looked so pitiful now, so she persuaded Song Shuang softly, "Can we talk about it after we find Bobo?"

Song Shuang put his face in her hair and tried to feel her warmth.

Gu Baisheng could feel how bossy and fierce the hug was. And she knew that Song Shuang would not let it pass like this.

But now she had to look for Qu Xiaobo.

She was worried about Qu Xiaobo's safety.

"Let's find Bobo first." She hesitated, lifted her hand, and patted Song Shuang's back to calm him down, "Song Shuang?"

Gu Baisheng comforted him carefully.

Zhang Kai watched them eagerly at the door.

Song Shuang still held her tight.

It was so weird for these three to be in the same room like this.

After a long time, Song Shuang said in a low voice, "I want you to give me a reasonable explanation after we come back."

Gu Baisheng said calmly, "OK."

Song Shuang had already suspected her.

It was time for her to explain everything to Song Shuang.

After Zhang Kai saw Song Shuang and Gu Baisheng come to an agreement,

He asked, "Can we look for Bobo now?"

Song Shuang looked down a bit and let go of Gu Baisheng slowly.

Gu Baisheng turned around to ask Zhang Kai, "Why did you quarrel?"

"Because of you..."

Zhang Kai muttered, "Because I asked you to apply for a job at the Institute of Special Education, she thought that I plotted to hurt you. So she got mad and wanted to break up with me."

Zhang Kai's eyes turned red spinelessly while he was talking. He complained sadly, "I thought she was just mad. I planned to comfort her after work. But when I arrived home, she had packed everything up. She doesn't want to be with me now!!"

Zhang Kai said painfully like a woman who had just been abandoned.

He was a tough guy who worked at the police station, but now he was crying so hard.

If not because of her gender and Song Shuang's cold stare,

She would have pulled himself into her arms and comforted him like his mother.

"I've called Bobo, but it didn't get through."

"You call her again!" Zhang Kai strongly required, "You call her again! You're Gu Baisheng! The way you treat her is better than her mom treats her! Besides her grandma, you're the only one who she talks to when she's sad. She won't ignore you!"

Gu Baisheng did not dare to look at Song Shuang's eyes.

Zhang Kai could barely stand even if he was holding the door frame. So, she walked to Zhang Kai and held him to the couch in the living room, "I'll try to call her again."

Gu Baisheng dialed Qu Xiaobo's phone number.

Song Shuang was standing at the bedroom door and looked at her deeply with his hand on the door frame.

He seemed to inspect or be deep in thought.

Gu Baisheng held the phone with her fingers. Nobody answered the phone after she made the phone call.

When she was about to give up, suddenly someone on the other side picked it up, "Hello..."

Gu Baisheng froze for a moment but she still couldn't hold back her astonishment, "You..."

Zhang Kai who sat next to her saw her surprised face, so he hurried to ask, "What happened?"

"It's a man who is speaking..."

Gu Baisheng answered.

After hearing it, Zhang Kai jumped up to her phone and then he started to shout, "It's fine if you want money, but leave my girlfriend alone!"

That man explained helplessly, "No, I'm not a robber."

"Then who are you?" Zhang Kai froze and suddenly got the answer after he had been thinking quickly for a while, "You're Qu Xiaobo's new guy, aren't you? She cheated on me, right? Put her on the phone! She must have the guts to answer the phone if she dares to cheat on me! Put her on the phone! I know she's there!"

Zhang Kai shouted like crazy.

His shouting scared the man who was answering the phone.

After a long pause, he continued, "No, I..."

Gu Baisheng knew Zhang Kai couldn't ask anything because he was so drunk. So she took the phone from him and asked, "You are picking my friend's phone up. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm a waiter at 1998. Your friend got drunk at our bar. Could you please come to pick her up?" The waiter felt relieved when he managed to get in touch with his drunk customer's friends. "She is too drunk to answer any questions. My manager was thinking about how to deal with this situation just now."

"Please wait a moment. I'll pick her up right now."

Gu Baisheng was relieved.

The waiter hung up too after he finished his words.

Zhang Kai looked at Gu Baisheng and asked, "What happened? Does Bobo cheat on me?"

Gu Baisheng couldn't explain anything to a man who was so drunk.

And she couldn't expect a drunken man to pick up a drunken woman, so she turned around to beg Song Shuang, "Bobo is drunk. She's at a bar now. Could you please go with me and pick her up?"

Song Shuang looked at her face and responded, "OK."

Gu Baisheng didn’t dare to look at Song Shuang's eyes.

Zhang Kai was drunk, but Song Shuang was not.

Song Shuang was sober and had already suspected who she was.

And now he was 90% sure that she was Gu Baisheng.

The way he looked at her now was so different from the way he used to look at Bai Shengsheng.

It was hard to describe the look.

But she could tell a lot of suppressed emotions that were waiting to break away from the shackles like a beast.

Gu Baisheng held Zhang Kai who was teetering to Song Shuang's car. Before they left home, she made Zhang Kai drink the sober-up tea she originally made for Song Shuang.

Although she could smell alcohol on Song Shuang, he didn't seem to be tipsy at all when he was driving.

Gu Baisheng started to wonder if he had really drunk.

Zhang Kai had been talking all the time on their way to the bar.

Sometimes he talked about Qu Xiaobo.

Sometimes he talked about being urged to get married by his parents.

Sometimes he grabbed Gu Baisheng's arm to let her persuade Qu Xiaobo to marry him.

And he raised his arm to make a vow that he would treat her extremely nicely after they got married.

He promised not to let her be treated wrongly.

He kept talking and somehow he started to talk about Song Shuang.

He said, "I will treat her better than the way Song Shuang treats you after I marry her."

"I know. I know..."

Gu Baisheng comforted him.

He didn't want to shut up and kept going, "I won't lie to Bobo like the way Song Shuang lied to you."

Gu Baisheng became nervous.

She grabbed Zhang Kai's arms, "What are you..."

"We're almost there."

Song Shuang's voice suddenly sounded.

He interrupted Zhang Kai's words.

After hearing Song Shuang's words, Zhang Kai pushed Gu Baisheng hurriedly, "Go pick Bobo up. I want to see her. Let's see her together."

He was getting off the car while talking.

After parking the car, Song Shuang stopped Zhang Kai at the back seat. He said to Gu Baisheng, "You come to pick up Qu Xiaobo. The waiters will help you to hold her. I have to keep an eye on Zhang Kai because he is so drunk."

Gu Baisheng nodded without a second thought and went to pick up Qu Xiaobo at the bar.

Song Shuang squinted his eyes when he looked at Zhang Kai's drunk face and pushed back Zhang Kai who was intending to get off.

He held the door and bent down to warn Zhang Kai coldly but fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense, Zhang Kai."

Zhang Kai looked at Song Shuang when he was pushed back. His head bumped into the door and he shook his head due to the pain.

Song Shuang squinted his eyes and bent down to get into the car when he saw Zhang Kai holding his head.

He closed the door and grabbed Zhang Kai's collar to let Zhang Kai see his cold eyes, "I know you become soberer now, so you can remember what I say."

Zhang Kai who was grabbed by the collar reached out to get his hands off him. Although his voice still sounded drunk,

he was obviously much soberer than just now, "I know you're afraid that I may say it out."

Song Shuang didn't deny it.

But he stared at Zhang Kai, which made Zhang Kai feel uncomfortable with some pressures.

Song Shuang usually behaved like a well-educated gentleman,

But he made people feel pressed when he was staring at others.

He knew that Song Shuang, as a member of the Song Family, was not easy to deal with.

So he didn't mention a word about the secret Song Shuang had been hiding for years.

But now he suddenly wavered.

"Do you know why she refuses to admit that she's Gu Baisheng?"

Zhang Kai asked Song Shuang before Gu Baisheng and Qu Xiaobo came back.

Song Shuang looked at him while grabbing his collar.

Zhang Kai smiled sardonically, "You must think that she hates you because of Cheng Bi's child, but it's not true."

"What do you want to say?"

Song Shuang tried to grab his collar harder.

Zhang Kai shook his head, "You become a stupid man, Song Shuang. If she really is Gu Baisheng who hates you so much, she wouldn't marry you just because Hu Hui asked her to do so".

Song Shuang's look changed.

Yes, Zhang Kai was right.

If Gu Baisheng came back to life, she wouldn't choose to live with him again because of the death of her son.

And she wouldn't be his wife.

But she married him as Hu Hui required.

She married him legally.

What for?

Zhang Kai smiled sardonically, "She has suspicions about what happened that year. She agrees to be with you and refuses to admit her real identity because she wants to find out the truth that scares you as well."
