Chapter 1236: Gu Changshu

Jiang Yao chuckled. Lu Xingzhi meant the money Gu Junhui’s mother had given them because she was afraid that her daughter would suffer while with Gu Changshu, who had just been released from prison. The man had nothing, so she gave Gu Junhui a large sum of money for them to settle down for a more comfortable life.

Naturally, Jiang Yao had more money than Lu Xingzhi because she had a relatively well-to-do mother.

Gu Changshu was poor; that was in the information.

No matter how hardworking and capable, a person who had just been out of prison for a few months would not have much money.

Gu Changshu had killed his stepfather when he was 19 and was sentenced to ten years in prison. His experience was even more miserable than Gu Junhui’s.

His biological father had died of illness, and his mother had remarried. As a result, his stepfather treated him badly. The man had beaten him since he was young. Not only did his stepfather beat him, but he would also beat his mother if he were not happy.

Gu Changshu killed his stepfather when he saw the man hit his mother when he got home from work. In a fit of anger, he took a kitchen knife from the kitchen and killed his stepfather.

He had killed his stepfather for his mother, but in the end, his mother complained that he should not have killed the family’s patriarch.

After Gu Changshu was imprisoned, his mother only had his half-brother with her. There was no one else in the family. Gu Changshu’s half-brother lived off the family, but the child was young, and no adults watched him. Gu Changshu had died unexpectedly in his third year in prison. His neighbors in his hometown had even arranged his funeral, but no one was sad for him.

While Gu Changshu was in prison, only Gu Junhui, his next-door neighbor, still remembered to visit him in prison.

Gu Junhui lived in the county with her aunt, and Gu Changshu served his sentence in the county jail. Almost every weekend, Gu Junhui would go to prison to see Gu Changshu. Finally, he was released seven months early because of his good behavior; the only person who went to meet him was Gu Junhui.

Gu Junhui was the only ray of light in his long prison life and the only person in the world who still cared about him.

One could say that Gu Junhui was Gu Changshu’s entire life. She had been very kind to him.

When Jiang Yao saw that, she was glad that she was Lu Xingzhi’s partner in that mission.

Gu Zhangshu and Gu Junhui were very close. When they went out, Gu Zhangshu would have Gu Junhui follow him closely; they held hands, and he watched over her at all times. Jiang Yao was not sure she could let Lu Xingzhi do the mission with anyone else.

She was unhappy when she thought about how Lu Xingzhi was so nervous about another woman and how he had to constantly pay attention to and hold the other woman’s hand.

Even though she knew that he did it for the job, she thought everyone was entitled to be a little selfish. She would not make a fuss even though she was unhappy about it.

Fortunately, she became Lu Xingzhi’s partner for that mission.

The two of them, who were already in love, did not need to pretend at all.

Lu Xingzhi acted almost like himself because Gu Changshu’s character was very similar to his personality. The years of imprisonment and the experiences of domestic violence and coldness in his childhood made Gu Changshu a gloomy and silent person.

As for Jiang Yao, she only needed to pretend to be naive and straightforward.
