Chapter 611: Shocking! Li Yufeng’s Secret! (7)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
So, the person that Gu Deshou liked was Mother Zhuang, but he had eventually chosen to be with Li Yufeng. Zhuang Nainai thought, It must be because of his love for money and for the sake of his company.
But now?
Li Yufeng’s maiden family was actually poor. So what was the real reason Gu Deshou had been so insistent in getting together with her and abandoning Mother Zhuang in the process?
Perhaps Li Yufeng had been pregnant then, and Gu Deshou hadn’t even married her…
Zhuang Nainai vehemently turned her head. “Sister, was the marriage between Gu Deshou and Li Yufeng Gu Deshou’s first marriage? Or was it his second?”
Si Jingyu raised her brows upon hearing this. She said, “It was his first marriage as per the official registration.”
So it was his first marriage… Did that mean that Mother Zhuang wasn’t the original person paired with him? Was Li Yufeng… a third party?
Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath, a sense of frustration brewing in her heart.
She felt as if she had discovered something, but she just wasn’t able to fully smoothen her thoughts out.
She took a deep breath once more, then sighed.

Hua Mianao was going around in circles over the same issue. No matter how much Si Jingyu and Zhuang Nainai questioned her, there was nothing more she could provide.
Things were getting more and more confusing. Why had Li Yufeng been able to marry Gu Deshou, and why had Gu Deshou married her despite his deep love for Mother Zhuang? Why had Gu Deshou let Mother Zhuang down?
All of this had to be slowly dug out bit by bit.
Zhuang Nainai simply felt perplexed as she left the shopping mall. She wasn’t able to establish a proper flow of events, and it felt as if there was an invisible web around her, slowly closing in on her and threatening to turn her into prey.
The more she thought like this, the more she felt a chill grow in her spine.
Just as Zhuang Nainai felt the chills in her body and her hands became cold, she felt some pressure on her shoulders. Turning her head, she saw Si Jingyu standing behind her. “Nainai, don’t be afraid. Trust Zhengting.”
As she said this, she paused before continuing, “Nainai, trust that he’s someone you can entrust the rest of your life to. Trust him to handle these issues.”
Hearing this, Zhuang Nainai immediately felt comforted, and the tumult in her heart calmed down.
She turned toward Si Jingyu and nodded her head.
After a brief moment of silence, however, Zhuang Nainai spoke once more. “Then, do you trust Brother-in-law?”
Did she trust Brother-in-law?
Si Jingyu froze upon hearing this.
All of a sudden, her thoughts flew back to two years ago when she had been looking for her child. Weary and unable to bear it any longer, she had returned to Beijing to resign herself to living a peaceful life from then on. Shi Jinyan had found her and asked, “Jingyu, do you trust me?”
What had been her answer then?
She had said yes.
He had then held her hand. “Jingyu, marry me.”
In that moment, she had suddenly felt like crying.
She had truly wanted to cry.
Marry him.
After what had happened all those years ago, he had never said that same sentence again. That sentence had come years late, and it had caused her to be despised by the people around her for two years straight!
What had she replied to him with?
Surprisingly, she had been calmer and cooler than normal. Fighting hard to suppress her emotions, she had told him that she was willing to marry him.
At the thought of this, Si Jingyu curled her lips.
She had known long ago that he didn’t like her, but she had still privately agreed to marry him.
Because she had thought that her child, once found, would then be provided with a complete family.
Si Jingyu shook her head to disperse the sourness that was in her heart. Putting Zhuang Nainai’s hand in hers, she said, “Okay, let’s go home.”
