Chapter 482: Chapter 483 This is Too Much
“Although Qiao Yi was raised by my father, she is a girl and I had little contact with her, thus I don’t have much affection for her. She made my father spit blood out of anger, almost killing him. I feel nothing but resentment and anger towards her, even any lingering affection is gone,” Gu Junzhu said.
Ye Xingbei nodded, “I understand.”
If it were her, she would also act the same way as Gu Junzhu.
A niece who almost killed her uncle out of anger, who would still acknowledge her?
“What about Qiao Yi?” Ye Xingbei asked, “Did she try to mend the relationship with Senior Gu and seek his forgiveness?”
“In the first two years after her marriage, she sent a New Year’s gift to my father, but he didn’t let her in or keep the gifts. Since then, she has never contacted us,” Gu Junzhu replied.
Ye Xingbei responded, “That’s a bit too much.”
She couldn’t escape from love and had to marry the person she wanted to marry. It was something she couldn’t control. Even though it was unfilial and heartless, sometimes you could understand.
But after getting married, she didn’t actively seek forgiveness from the elder. That’s a problem.
Elders actually have soft hearts. If she asked for forgiveness several times, Ye Xingbei believed that Senior Gu would forgive her.
“Exactly,” Gu Junzhu sneered, “That’s why I look down on her. After coming to Jiang City, I never paid any attention to her.”
“What kind of problem did she discover in her marriage?” asked Ye Xingbei. “Was it discovered by Qiao Zui?”
Since Gu Junzhu would not deliberately pay attention to Qiao Yi’s affairs, it must have been made by Qiao Zui.
After all, Qiao Zui hadn’t been himself recently.
“Yes,” Gu Junzhu said indifferently. “A couple of days ago, Qiao Zui found out that Zhang Heyuan went to the hospital with a pregnant woman. He thought it was suspicious, and asked me to help investigate.”
Ye Xingbei widened her eyes in surprise, “Is Zhang Heyuan having an affair?”
“Close to that,” said Gu Junzhu. “Qiao Yi can’t conceive and has been childless for more than three years into the marriage. Zhang Heyuan secretly had another woman as a surrogate without Qiao Yi knowing. The woman is now nine months pregnant and is about to give birth.”
Ye Xingbei was dumbfounded, “Why… why is he in such a hurry? Qiao Yi is only three years older than Qiao Zui. She’s only in her twenties. Does he really need to be this desperate?”
Gu Junzhu gave a cold sneer, “He’s not in a hurry, but his mother is! During Qiao Yi’s first few months of marriage with Zhang Heyuan, his mother was still nice to her. But after six months with no pregnancy, his mother couldn’t wait anymore. She sneered and ridiculed Qiao Yi subtly, and has never treated her nicely since. Yet my nice niece still tolerated it; she endured it for more than three years.”
Gu Junzhu gave a cold hum, “I really think it’s a waste for my father. If he had known that she would debase herself and let others trample on her, why did he spoil her and try to shield her from any hurt? After being pampered and spoiled for so long, she turned out to be a lowly servant for others. If my father knew, he would probably fall into serious illness again.”
Ye Xingbei tapped him comfortingly.
She understood that no matter how harsh Gu Junzhu might sound, he still cared in his heart.
It was just a case of being upset about one’s incompetence.
If he didn’t care at all, he would be enjoying the fun now, but instead, he was angry at them for not arguing.
Ye Xingbei thought for a moment, then asked, “Does Qiao Yi now know about Zhang Heyuan’s surrogate child?”
Gu Junzhu shook his head, “She doesn’t know yet. Zhang Heyuan has kept it very secret. His mother handled everything, using Zhang Heyuan’s cousin’s name. His cousin has been married for years with only a daughter and has wanted a son. Everything related to that woman was done in the name of Zhang Heyuan’s cousin. It took my men two days to finally find firm evidence this afternoon that the child that woman carries in her belly is Zhang Heyuan’s.”
Ye Xingbei frowned, “Then what do you and Qiao Zui plan to do?”
