Chapter 342: Chapter 342

The autumn weather is clear, with high skies and scattered clouds. White clouds drift across the blue sky.

The fallen leaves of autumn drop one by one from the trees. Although the autumn sunlight is no longer scorching, it still casts a golden glow on the man.

Bei Ran raises her head, looking at the man in front of her. Between his eyebrows, there lingers an unresolved sorrow, even amidst the chilly desolation of the autumn sun.

Of course, Bei Ran had not expected Gu Qingchen to say to her, "Let’s remarry!"

Indeed, for a woman as intelligent as Bei Ran, it was not difficult to see that Gu Qingchen had something on his mind!

But he didn’t speak, and therefore, she didn’t ask,

The relationship between the two of them has always been about giving each other enough space – this, Bei Ran understood perfectly.

Whenever Gu Qingchen was troubled, Bei Ran would always look at him with a cheerful smile, because if he was unhappy, she must appear happy, so that she could dispel all the sorrows in his heart.

At that moment, Bei Ran looked intently at the man before her, "Remarry? But, Great Doctor Gu, is this how you propose? You haven’t even proposed to me, has my value begun to drop? Also, I am a wedding planner, do you think I would accept without a romantic and surprising proposal?"

At this time, Gu Qingcheng looked at Bei Ran, the golden sunlight shining on her, endowing this uniquely beautiful woman with a special charm. She always dispelled the gloom in his heart with her sunny smile when he was feeling down.

This moment was no exception.

Gu Qingchen looked at her, speaking in the most mundane tone, "Bei Ran, perhaps I’m a person who doesn’t understand romance or how to create surprises, related to my profession, I am stringent and very demanding, I don’t do flamboyance or create romantic surprises, but I want to start a family with you, where you are the mother, and I am the father, we will have children, and I will give them the most complete father’s love, we’ll be a complete family!"

Actually, even now, Bei Ran knows very little about Gu Qingcheng, the man, and his family.

Yet, she understood that Gu Qingcheng was a very responsible man, and precisely for this reason, he wanted to give the children a complete home and provide her with a haven to rely on.

"But, Qingchen, do you love me?" Bei Ran asked, touched by his words.

Yet, he only wanted to give her children a complete home, what about her as a person?

Gu Qingchen remained silent.

Perhaps, Bei Ran also understood that he once had a love that was deeply etched into his bones, but such profound emotions had long drifted away.

And now, he had also grown accustomed to a life marked by the daily rising and setting sun, blossoming and wilting of flowers, and the gentle flow of water.

So, he wanted to be with her.

Moreover, even if it was for the children, he wanted to remarry his ex-wife.

Bei Ran spoke frankly at that moment, "I know you want a complete family for the children, Qingchen, I have thought of it too. But this time, I want to live for myself! I can be your girlfriend, but I’m still the children’s mother, and you’re still their father, that relationship won’t change. When you feel one day that you truly love me, a woman named Bei Ran, then I’m willing to marry you!"

As she spoke, she gently patted on his chest.

She never denied that she was in his heart!

But such love, might just be the persistent devotion within a calm stream.

But can this kind of love withstand the impact of a deeply etched love?

The first marriage was a compromise, a contract.

So this time, she was unwilling to compromise, nor did she want to do it for someone else.

This time, her marriage must be for love.

If it wasn’t love, if she wasn’t his only one, then she was willing to give him time, she was willing to wait for him.

Gu Qingchen did not expect her to say such things. As he was looking at her, before he could speak, Bei Ran remarked, "Also, I still have many doubts about this case, could you explain it to me?"

"Do you have any questions?" Gu Qingchen nodded.

Bei Ran thought for a moment: "If Qin Chao hurt Song Chenxi six years ago because he was drunk, why has he been targeting me? Do you have any feud with him?"

Gu Qingchen looked at the autumn, feeling inexplicably desolate, "Before marrying my grandmother, my grandfather worked in Indonesia, where polygamy was allowed at that time. Before he met my grandmother, he had a loveless marriage. He didn’t know he had a child before the divorce. His ex-wife pleaded with him not to divorce, willing to overlook everything just to keep the marriage. However, my grandfather felt it was unfair to my grandmother, and also unfair to his ex-wife. He couldn’t keep a woman he didn’t love in her youth. Thus, he insisted on the divorce and returned to his country, settled down with my grandmother in City A."

"It wasn’t until twenty years later that my grandfather’s eldest son came to City A, asking my grandfather for money. At that time, my grandfather was already the director of a hospital in City A, and felt he owed this son, trying his best to make it up to him. But, he was not satisfied. My grandfather wanted him to study medicine, attend Medical University, but instead, he had a gender reassignment surgery... He said that he liked being a woman!" Gu Qingchen’s words became a bit obscure.

Bei Ran was shocked, "Could it be that he’s behind the case of skinning the four men at Jiaoyang Club?"

"Although there is no evidence now, we cannot rule out this possibility!" Gu Qingchen nodded, "You’ve analyzed it correctly. He is a student of Medical University, but because of his gender change, my grandfather didn’t allow him to perform surgeries. He might have become a person with such a dark side, but what we lack now is evidence!"

"I just feel that, from a psychological perspective, he is capable of doing this to achieve a psychological balance," said Bei Ran. "But, since he underwent transgender surgery, what about Qin Chao?"

Gu Qingchen recalled past events, "My grandfather’s ex-wife was surnamed Qin, hence the eldest son also has the surname Qin, and his name is Qin Shan. Qin Chao was born out of an accident, the specifics of which I am not very clear... But, I’m thinking, Bei Ran, could the incident six years ago be related to Qin Shan? He was always jealous that my grandfather always taught me and never considered him as the successor for the hospital in City A and has harbored this resentment all these years..."

"I think so too!" Bei Ran agreed immediately, "We have no direct entanglement with Qin Chao, but it is Qin Shan who, after all these years, still cannot let go. Moreover, he has always been hiding in the shadows and has been deeply stirring up the animosity between you and Song Xuyao."

Gu Qingchen took her hand, "No matter what, now that we’ve found Qin Chao, I suspect Qin Shan won’t be able to hide for long. He can’t hide for much longer."

Indeed, not long after, someone offered a high price for Duan Feixun to represent Qin Chao in court.

Duan Feixun naturally rejected outright. You know, last time because of Gao Yang’s case, Zheng Tong almost divorced him.

And this time, if he dared to take the scum Qin Chao’s case, wouldn’t Zheng Tong flip out on him?

Gu Qingchen knocked and entered, then stood in front of Jiang Huixiong’s desk: "Director, did you want to see me?"

"Yes, Qingchen, sit down..." Jiang Huixiong put down the phone and looked at him, "How are things going with Bei Ran?"

"Pretty good," Gu Qingchen responded indifferently.

At that moment, Jiang Huixiong walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "Are you blaming your grandfather?"

Gu Qingchen didn’t say anything. His grandfather was very good to him!

But, his grandfather should have known that it was Qin Chao who committed the wrong deeds, yet because he felt he owed Qin Shan, he didn’t reveal the truth and took the secrets to his grave.

At that time, he was in total despair, and he even requested to have a vasectomy!

You must know how heavy his heart has been over the years.

Song Chenxi is his cousin, having done wrong, he could only redeem himself by saving more lives to justify the surgical knife in his hand.

However, his most trusted grandfather, knowing what happened, chose to remain silent!

How could Gu Qingchen not be angry?

He had carried the dark shadows of these years; it turned out to be the wrongdoing of others!

At this moment, Jiang Huixiong looked at Gu Qingchen: "Before your master left, you were in the operating room, he didn’t call you out, but he did ask me to pass a message to you!"

"I don’t want to hear it..." Gu Qingchen walked out as he spoke.

Jiang Huixiong watched his resolute back, "It concerns Bei Ran, don’t you want to hear it either?"

"It concerns Bei Ran?" Gu Qingchen stopped in his tracks.

Jiang Huixiong gazed at his lonely and indifferent back: "I didn’t understand this sentence six years ago, but now I do. If you don’t want to hear it, I won’t say it..."
