Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 196 Gugu

Chapter 196: Chapter 196 Gugu

Su Ronggui was uneasy and reluctant.

"Listen, Gugu," Grandma Xu looked at him.

He eventually went out, gently closing the door, leaving only Tu Hengsha and Grandma inside.

The light was too bright, shining on Grandma’s face, making it seem like she couldn’t open her eyes. Tu Hengsha adjusted the light to make it dimmer.

"Girl, never mind it, sit..." Grandma’s hand trembled as she reached out from under the blanket.

Tu Hengsha sat down and gently held her hand.

"Girl..." Grandma Xu tried to curve her lips, as if trying to give her the kind smile she once had, "Did Gugu bully you again? Grandma told you before, I would scold Gugu for you. This time, Grandma did scold him for you. I’m just afraid that in the future, I won’t have the strength to help you..."

"No! Grandma..." Tu Hengsha was most afraid of hearing such words, and tears poured down like raindrops, "Grandma, you’ll get better! How about we go to the hospital?" Clearly, the injury was so severe, why insist on leaving the hospital?

Grandma Xu slowly shook her head, "Girl, listen to me... Grandma has so much to tell you..."

"Okay!" She nodded vigorously, "I’m listening, Grandma, I’m listening to you, say it!"

"Gugu, this child, is deep-minded, has secrets buried deep inside. It’s hard for him to express his feelings. Being with him must be tough on you..." Grandma Xu let out a long sigh, "But when he was young, he wasn’t like this. He used to be cheerful, with a sweet smile, everyone loved him..."

Tu Hengsha believed it. The little boy she had been thinking about for twenty years had warm eyes and a sweet, crisp voice. The reason for the change was probably because he lost his father...

She looked sad and whispered, "I’m sorry."

Grandma lightly squeezed her hand, shaking her head, "Girl, no, it’s not related to you. When his father passed away, he even comforted me and Qingmei not to be sad. He said he was the man of the house and would protect us. He didn’t want us to be sad and would say jokes to make us happy. But later, after his mom remarried, he changed, becoming more obedient and more introverted. Qingmei, being cautious in her second marriage, had a hard time and was strict with him. The child, living under another’s roof, his mind slowly changed... But he never talked about these things. Every time he came to me, he wouldn’t say a word. Until once, he came back not even during the weekend. When I asked what was wrong, he wouldn’t say either. At night, he suddenly had a nightmare and cried. When asked again, he finally cried and asked me if his mother didn’t want him anymore... I asked him why he said that, and then he told me a story about a dog..."

"A dog?" Tu Hengsha recalled his strange reaction the first time he saw Bangbangtang. Was there really a story behind it?

Grandma slowly nodded, "It was a dog. Gugu was still young at that time. He found a stray dog and liked it very much, so he brought it back to the Su family... Then Su Rongxing bullied the dog, the dog got provoked and bit Su Rongxing, and then..."

Grandma’s eyes filled with tears, "Qingmei ordered the driver to kill the dog, right in front of Gugu... They beat the dog to death... After that day, Gugu said he had nightmares every night, dreaming of the scene where the dog got beaten to death... Dreaming of the dog pleading for help... Blood everywhere... It was that night that Gugu told me he wasn’t happy at the Su family... His mother forbade him from doing this and that... He couldn’t play ball, couldn’t watch TV, couldn’t play with classmates, couldn’t read extracurricular books, couldn’t eat snacks, couldn’t... couldn’t do anything that children like to do... What he liked, Su Rongxing always wanted to take. Whatever he ate, Su Rongxing would fight for it, and Su Rongxing always won... He had a small watch, left by his father... Su Rongxing saw it and wanted it too. He didn’t want to give it, got a severe beating from Qingmei... Later, it was given to Su Rongxing... who ended up smashing it..."

"..." Tu Hengsha was stunned. Only then did she realize she had never truly understood Su Ronggui. She only thought he was cold and ill-tempered. She assumed growing up in the Su family made him happier than herself, but she had never imagined that in the past twenty years, he was far from being happier.

Grandma spoke all this in one breath, feeling a bit strenuous, "In the Su family, he was like a little rabbit, easily startled by the slightest rustle... The death of the dog... became a shadow in his childhood... Since then... he... he never dared to have any favorite thing... and completely became an invisible person in the Su family... If unnecessary... he would absolutely not make a sound..."

Tu Hengsha felt as if something clogged her throat, unable to say a word. She seemed to see, in the pitch-black night, a lonely little boy waking from a nightmare, trembling while hugging his blanket. The warm little boy had gradually turned cold and icy...

"Girl..." Grandma called her with difficulty.

Seeing Grandma so exhausted, she quickly choked out, "Grandma, don’t say anymore, let’s rest for a while, don’t say anymore..."

Grandma shook her head, "Grandma has to say it... I’m afraid... if not now... there won’t be another chance..."

"No, Grandma! It won’t..." Tu Hengsha cried.

"Don’t cry... girl... listen to me..." Grandma struggled to raise her hand and touched her face, "Go... go to Gugu’s room... On the multi-treasure shelf, there’s a red lacquered box... bring it here..."

"Grandma..." Tu Hengsha pressed down on Grandma’s hand, rubbing her cheek in Grandma’s palm.

"Hurry... listen to me..."

"Okay..." Tu Hengsha, helpless, wiped her tears and stood up to go out.

"For now, don’t... don’t let Gugu come in..."

"Alright..." She opened the door. Su Ronggui was standing at the entrance, his eyes red. Seeing her come out, he was about to push the door open and enter. She stopped him, "Grandma told you not to go in yet..."

After saying this, she went to Su Ronggui’s room.

The door wasn’t locked. She pushed it open, yet she was stunned at the spot.

She had been to Su Ronggui’s room before. It was simple and elegant, much like his temperament. However, everything before her eyes had changed. All the furniture was new. Although still in a classic style, it was noticeably more feminine. A dressing table was added in the corner, the curtains and bedspread had been replaced with soft feminine tones, and there were cut-out double happiness characters on the windows and furniture...

"What are you doing?" He appeared at the door and asked.

"Grandma asked me to get something..." She wiped her tears, found the red lacquered box Grandma mentioned, and held it.

His expression changed, "Why are you taking that?"

"Grandma wants it."

"Don’t take it!" He came to grab it.

"It’s... it’s what Grandma wants..." Holding the box, she was at a loss. This was something from his house; she had no right to fight him for it...

Sister Qian hurried over, "Grandma is calling for the girl..."

Tu Hengsha glanced at his face again, and seeing him turn away, she held the box and returned to Grandma’s room.
