Chapter 459: Chapter 459 Two identities

At this time, Lin Xi came down from upstairs and, upon seeing Gu Fan’s parents, politely greeted them, "Hello Uncle, Hello Auntie."

Gu Chuanshan and Mei Fang looked surprised, as if they didn’t expect Lin Xi to be so courteous. They glanced at each other, both looking unsure of how to proceed.

Seeing his parents’ expressions, Gu Fan found it strange, and Lin Xi also felt a bit awkward. She didn’t understand the reason. Did she do something wrong?

Suddenly, Mei Fang changed her expression and started chatting cheerfully with Lin Xi, acting as if she took a liking to Lin Xi instantly. She even insisted on having Lin Xi wear a family heirloom bracelet, overwhelming Lin Xi with her enthusiasm.

Taking advantage of this moment, Gu Chuanshan pulled Gu Fan aside and whispered, "Son, are you really sure about this? Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?"

Hearing this, Gu Fan looked puzzled, "What do you mean by reconsider? Do you want me to change my girlfriend?"

To this, Gu Chuanshan shook his head, "No, it is not about changing your girlfriend, but changing our future daughter-in-law."

"Isn’t that the same thing?" Gu Fan was confused about what his father was implying. Why should he switch from Lin Xi? Gu Fan noticed that his mother seemed to get along pretty well with Lin Xi, chatting and laughing, seeming to like Lin Xi a lot.

Gu Fan was utterly baffled and wondered what sort of act his parents were putting on.

Gu Chuanshan whispered again, "Son, you have a long life ahead. You haven’t even graduated from college yet, and you’re so sure about Lin Xi. Doesn’t it seem a bit impulsive?"

Gu Fan was stunned and retorted, "As I recall, you and mom met during college. You were each other’s first love, and yet you have come this far."

Hearing this, Gu Chuanshan patted Gu Fan on the shoulder, "Times have changed, you need to keep up with the times."

Gu Fan was still confused, "No era encourages dating several girlfriends and then choosing one among them."

"Alright, alright, I won’t say any more, you handle it yourself." Gu Chuanshan looked like he had given up hope, making it seem like he was disappointed in Gu Fan’s decision.

Gu Fan was even more puzzled. Lin Xi hadn’t done anything wrong, so why was his father giving him the impression that he should consider changing girlfriends?

Then, at Gu Chuanshan’s suggestion, Mei Fang also stopped talking to Lin Xi, and the husband and wife left the old house. The moment they stepped out, their expressions became serious, as if weighed down by heavy concerns.

Mei Fang was getting worried, "What should we do? Xiaoling refuses to move. Has she discovered the quirks of the old house? We should never have allowed Xiaoling to return."

"There’s no use dwelling on that now, perhaps with Xiaoling’s potential, she may overcome this. But I’m more worried about Gu Fan’s side." As Gu Chuanshan said this, his face looked grave, "It is clear that Gu Fan loves Lin Xi, and it seems like Lin Xi also likes Gu Fan quite a bit. But the question is, are they truly suitable for each other?"

Mei Fang shook her head, "I don’t want a daughter-in-law like that. If she marries into our family, who knows what will happen."

"In my opinion, Lin Xi does not carry herself with airs and respects us. So, Lin Xi is not the main problem. The key lies with Gu Fan, who knows how many troubles he might encounter if this continues." Having said that, Gu Chuanshan couldn’t help but glance back at the old house.

Mei Fang looked regretful, "We initially let Gu Fan stay there just to try our luck. We didn’t expect that the blind cat would actually catch a rat. Now, there’s no way to salvage the situation."

Gu Chuanshan added, "It may not necessarily be a bad thing. If something were to happen, it would have happened to Gu Fan already, not just continually evading danger."

"But no matter how good the luck is, it is not foolproof. What if..." Mei Fang didn’t finish her words, her face full of worry, "And next time, it might not just be Gu Fan who gets involved, Xiaoling might also..."

"I know, I’m worried too, but we need to consult some other people about this matter." At this point, Gu Chuanshan frowned deeply, "I didn’t realize that the Luo family actually has a dual identity, and perhaps it’s not just the Luo family."

Mei Fang was startled, "You mean, the Zhang family, Liu family, and even the other two families also have dual identities?"

"Exactly, like the Gu family, which also has a dual identity. I think this is not a coincidence. Several families, each with dual identities, were brought together to discover the secret of this old house." As Gu Chuanshan spoke, he stroked his chin, "But why such a coincidence? Is it fate’s plan, or someone’s manipulation?"

Mei Fang was getting more frightened as she listened and quickly stopped him: "Enough, don’t talk about these conspiracy theories. It’s giving me cold sweats. We need to think about how to fix this."

Gu Chuanshan let out a sigh: "Since it has happened to Gu Fan, there’s nothing we can do. We’ll have to see what destiny has in store for him. And as for Xiaoling, it seems we will also need to persuade her."

Mei Fang also sighed, "I think Xiaoling doesn’t want to leave her brother Gu Fan. They are very close siblings, and neither of them wants to abandon the other. Moreover, now that Xiaoling has discovered that the old house is not ordinary, she may be even more unwilling to abandon Gu Fan."

"She must. The longer she stays around Gu Fan, the more likely she is to get involved. The most we can do is to protect Xiaoling first and try our best to help Gu Fan." After saying this, Gu Chuanshan looked helpless, even exhausted.

Just then, a man in a trench coat, wearing a beret, and sporting a beard strode towards Gu Chuanshan and Mei Fang on the street. As he reached the old house, he paused for a moment to gaze at it. After taking a deep breath, he walked on, his steps heavier than before.

Afterwards, the man made a phone call, "Hello, boss, you’re right. It’s indeed the Gu family and the old house. I think our waiting time is up."

"Very well, wait there for my instructions. I will give you the next step. Remember, don’t act rashly without my command." After saying this, the big boss hung up the phone, glancing at the curious-looking Leng Yue and Hai sitting next to him. The corners of the big boss’s mouth turned up in a smile, "Finally, I understand why Gu Fan, an ordinary person, can do things that even I can’t. It turns out that the problem lies here, and now we have business to take care of."
