After Gu Yunshen married Qiao Yuying, they moved to the Qiao mansion. When Bai Chi heard that Old Master Bai and Bai Fei were going to the Gu house, he decided to tag along because he wanted to get into Gu Qingyao’s good books and also wanted to get to know tycoons like the Qiaos.

In the end, they reached the Gu house only to discover that Gu Yunshen was not there. They found out that Gu Yunshen was living with the Qiaos.

Old Master Bai, Bai Fei and Bai Chi all looked odd. Perhaps, they themselves could not decide whether this was good news or not.

Next, they heard that Gu Qingyao was also staying there. She was not just going over there to play, but to live with her parents. That meant that they had settled there. This time, the three of them were delighted.

They thought that Gu Qingyao was Gu Yunshen’s daughter, but Qiao Yuying was her stepmother. The fact that the Qiaos allowed Gu Qingyao to stay there meant that they liked the girl very much.

They had heard that the Qiaos only had grandsons, but no granddaughters. It was understandable that they would dote a little on this granddaughter.

The three of them excitedly rushed over to the Qiao house. Old Master Qiao had gone for a walk while the Old Madam was in the backyard, studying her medicinal herbs. Gu Yunshen received the three guests in the living room.

Old Master Bai explained the situation and made it clear that he wanted to bring Gu Qingyao back to the Bais.

When Gu Yunshen heard the story, he smiled suavely. “Old Master, I think you’ve been mistaken. Yao Yao is my daughter, and she’s not related to Zhang Xiaohui.”

Old Master Bai frowned and said rather sternly, “I know that you were divorced, and the two children have broken off the ties between them. But Yao Yao carries the Bai bloodline. Of course, she can’t be left forlorn outside the family.”

Gu Yunshen continued to smile good-naturedly. “Old Master, you’re really mistaken. Yao Yao is my biological daughter. I brought her into the family when Zhang Xiaohui gave birth.”

Old Master Bai, Bai Fei and Bai Chi were all stunned!

Gu Yunshen continued, “Yao Yao is my daughter with Yuying. Zhang Xiaohui had an ulterior motive when she married me. Gu Ruoqing is not my biological daughter but was conceived by Zhang Xiaohui with her lover. I have always known this but kept it a secret.

“When I married Yuying, something happened to her, and we were separated. Zhang Xiaohui deliberately clung to me. They gave birth in the same place. I wanted to bring Yao Yao home, so when I saw that one of Zhang Xiaohui’s twins had gone missing, I replaced her with my own child. Zhang Xiaohui could not say anything.

“She still doesn’t know that Yao Yao is my daughter!”

This conclusion floored Old Master Bai.

“Impossible!” Bai Chi said frantically. “Zhang Xiaohui gave birth to twins, and she took the child from our family. Since Zhang Xiaohui gave birth to Bai Youran, then Gu Qingyao must be our family’s child.”

Gu Yunshen looked at Bai Chi. “Hasn’t the Bais publicly announced that Zhang Xiaohui ‘s charges are false and Bai Youran is your child? Why do you say that she no longer belongs to your family?”

“You…”

Bai Chi’s face reddened. He secretly cursed Gu Yunshen for not being able to read between the lines. How could anyone believe such banalities?

Gu Yunshen said, “I saw Zhang Xiaohui carry a child away. I didn’t think too much about it. Times were hard then, and many girls did not survive. The Zhangs have always been biased against girls.. I assumed that Zhang Xiaohui thought that our family would look down on her after she had two girls and that it would affect her status in the family. Or she was afraid that she could not raise both of them, so she abandoned one of them!”
