Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 646 What exactly is Old Ge trying to do?

Although this era had only recently experienced war, and older people were not particularly surprised by the dead, if someone were to carry a set of human bones around the market, he would definitely be labeled as mentally ill.

Then Ge Shaoting is not far from being sent to a mental hospital or being beaten to death.

Zhou Yichen's posture became noticeably straighter because of Chu Xin's obvious protection. Although his face still looked serious, the corners of his mouth, which were almost forming a smile, clearly showed that he was very happy, extremely happy.

He tried his best to appear professional and dignified as he shooed Ge Shaoting away, saying, "If there's nothing else, you can go inside. Aren't you hungry?"

“Give me some time. The Gu family has already learned that you are still alive, so they will definitely not give up easily. I didn’t see Old Master Gu today, so I don’t know what his attitude is. If he has the same idea as Gu Beizhan, it won’t be so easy for you to leave.”

Upon hearing this, Ge Shaoting immediately flew into a rage. His face, which had been thrown into disarray by Chu Xin, was contorted with anger, and his eyebrows shot up. "Why should they care? It's none of their business if I take my mother away. She doesn't even have the surname Gu!"

“But she’s a member of the Gu family, and the state recognizes her!” Zhou Yichen coldly poured cold water on her sentiment.

Ge Shaoting choked, his nose practically snorting like an old ox, "Gu Beizhan doesn't only have one wife!"

Chu Xin laughed, "It's true that your mother is an ex-wife, but even if she's dead, it doesn't change the fact that she and Gu Beizhan were once husband and wife. They weren't divorced, don't you understand the law!"

Seeing his face flushed with anger, Chu Xin ultimately refrained from saying anything more hurtful.

From ancient times to the present, ordinary women have been expected to obey their husbands after marriage, and they are not even considered independent individuals; they are considered the property of their husband's family.

If the Gu family really accuses Ge Shaoting of stealing the remains of a deceased person in order to keep him, then his imprisonment in mainland China will be inevitable.

Ge Shaoting knew perfectly well what Chu Xinwei meant. In fact, the same old man with the same surname Ge had said the same thing when he came to persuade him.

But he was really unwilling to accept it. Why should he be labeled like this? His mother's surname was Yin, and she was from Henan Province. What did she have to do with the Gu family? How did she become part of their family?!

This is another reason why he deliberately provoked Gu Beizhan, hoping to anger him to death. He even wanted to sever all blood ties with his grandfather, who had once loved him dearly.

After a long while, Ge Shaoting looked up in a panic, revealing a bitter smile that he had never shown to outsiders before. It was also the first time that Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen had seen his vulnerable side.

"I don't have many memories of the mainland. I vaguely remember hearing the story of Nezha returning his bones to his father and his flesh to his mother when I was a child. Do you think I should also give up this life that should have the surname Gu and let go of this blood that I feel is the source of my pain in order to completely sever my ties with them?!"

I don't ask for much, I just want to take my mom away from here, is that not allowed?

When Chu Ge came to provoke them, my mother knew that Gu Beizhan had betrayed their vow. Her first action was to pack her things and leave the Gu family with me. Even though she had nowhere else to go, she was still so resolute.

Do you know why?

Because she considers herself independent, and since her partner betrayed her, she should leave gracefully. But what right does the Gu family have to hurt her and then keep her trapped here, even shamelessly claiming that she belongs to the Gu family?!

Has anyone asked her if she's willing? My mother is a person, she's a person, why can't we respect her?!

In the end, Ge Shaoting broke down emotionally and almost roared.

The person who used various masks to pretend in front of friends after their reunion finally couldn't hold on any longer.

A glistening tear slid down Ge Shaoting's high, straight nose.

Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen both fell silent.

There were quite a few people coming and going at the entrance of the guesthouse. Two handsome men with their own unique features and a beautiful and radiant woman who was even more rare would easily attract attention, not to mention Ge Shaoting's sudden, sorrowful, and desolate roar.

As soon as he finished, some nosy neighborhood aunties quickly gathered around.

"Oh dear, you sound so pitiful! Comrade, what great injustice have you suffered? Tell us all about it. The power of the masses is immense; we can help you get justice!"

The older woman seemed to be good at creating a lively atmosphere and probably had some experience, because people immediately started echoing her.

Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen were about to be surrounded: ...

Chu Xin glared at Ge Shaoting, wanting to curse him but ultimately said nothing. She gave Zhou Yichen a wink and then rushed into the guesthouse first. Zhou Yichen pushed the still somewhat dazed Ge Shaoting inside as well.

At this moment, the staff at the guesthouse were also curiously observing them. Seeing that she was still immersed in speculation and gossip and hadn't reacted, Chu Xin went straight to the room that Ge Shaoting had booked earlier without even saying hello.

With discipline being strictly enforced nowadays, people might not think it's too outrageous for a woman to be alone in a room with two men, but Zhou Yichen still didn't close the door.

He led Ge Shaoting inside, frowned when he saw that he still looked listless, and asked in a low voice, "You brought your... mother's remains with you?"

He was quite shocked when Chu Xin mentioned this. Why didn't Old Ge mention it to him? Did he not know or did he deliberately not say it?

It's impossible that he didn't know; Gu Beizhan was constantly bothering him, how could he not know?

Knowing that not only was the body not taken away and reburied, but Ge Shaoting was also allowed to keep it with him, Zhou Yichen's doubts grew even stronger. What exactly was Old Ge trying to do?
