“Ah Yao, don’t say anymore. I shouldn’t have come back… Now that Ah Zheng is married, I really shouldn’t be looking for him anymore.” Yao Mengqing shed a tear and left angrily.
Gu Yao looked at Yao Mengqing’s back and hurriedly chased after her.
“Sister Mengqing! Sister Mengqing!”
Yao Mengqing was crying so hard that Gu Yao’s heart ached. “Sister Mengqing, don’t cry anymore. It has been so long, and my brother probably forgot about it long ago. Besides, he’s already married.”
Yao Mengqing’s eyes were filled with tears. “I know, Ah Zheng. He doesn’t really like Xi Xi. He just got married to a random woman. If he had really met his true love, I wouldn’t disturb him anymore.”
Gu Yao tried to persuade her. “I think Gu Zheng cares about that woman a lot. Besides, you insisted on leaving back then. It’s not good for you to look for him again, right?”
Yao Mengqing looked sad. “Ah Yao, you don’t understand. I love him… If I can’t be with him, my life will be meaningless. I’ve always thought of myself as a friend, but he’s still angry with me. I really don’t know what to do to make him forgive me.”
Gu Yao looked helpless, and his voice was hoarse. “Sister Mengqing, you love Gu Zheng? You only came back to the country to look for him?”
Yao Mengqing was confused, not understanding what Gu Yao meant.
Gu Yao was extremely shocked. “Although I don’t like Qiao Xi and even asked her to get lost from Longwan Residential, she’s my brother’s wife, after all. I don’t have the right or authority to ask her to get lost, let alone you. Sister Mengqing, get this straight!”
Yao Mengqing’s expression darkened. She could not defend herself and could only cry silently.
“Ah Yao, I’m not being selfish. If Ah Zheng really likes Xi Xi, I’ll give them my blessing. However, their marriage is just a formality. They’ll have to end this marriage sooner or later. They might as well give it up now. I’m doing this for Ah Zheng’s sake!
“I won’t be a third party. I just hope that Ah Zheng can be happy.”
Gu Yao finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Sister Mengqing, it’s good that you understand.”
Madam Gu was a mistress. Gu Yao and Gu Zheng were both illegitimate children. They had been mocked and looked down upon by the public since they were young.
That was why he hated women who tried to ruin other people’s relationships the most.
He did indeed hate Qiao Xi and thought that she was not worthy to be the mistress of the Gu family. However, she and Gu Zheng were legally married. She was Gu Zheng’s legitimate wife.
Yao Mengqing wiped her tears. “Ah Yao, I only hope that he can be happy. If Xi Xi is his lover, I’ll give them my blessings. Qiao Xi is your sister-in-law, so you should be more respectful to her in the future.”
Gu Yao nodded. Sister Mengqing was still so kind-hearted and even asked him to respect Qiao Xi, hence she would not be a third party.
Yao Mengqing lowered her eyes as a glint flashed across them. She must snatch Gu Zheng back!
…
In the hall.
Qiao Xi asked casually, “That kid is your younger brother?”
Gu Zheng took a sip of coffee. “Mhm.”
“The two of you don’t look like brothers. Gu Yao and Madam Gu are quite alike, but you don’t look like either of them.”
Qiao Xi stood up and sized up Gu Zheng with her eyes. “You’re not like anyone from the Gu family. You’re unique.”
Gu Zheng smirked and remained silent.
Qiao Xi moved in front of him and smiled slightly. “Could it be that you’re not a child of the Gu family? Otherwise, why would they not treat you well but are especially kind to Gu Yao? You’re both from the same mother, so they can’t be so biased, right?
“And that Gu Yao looks like a good-for-nothing. If the two of you were born from the same mother, why are your characters and IQs so different?”
Gu Yao could not see through Yao Mengqing’s intentions, which was really telling of his IQ.
Gu Zheng leaned lazily on the sofa. “Are you done?”
Qiao Xi pursed her lips. “I just don’t understand. You and Gu Yao are both Madam Gu’s children. Why would she love that silly son so much?”
“Everyone thinks that you represent Madam Gu’s despicable days and that you’re evidence that she was the third party. However, Gu Yao was the child she had during her marriage. The two of you mean something different to her.”
Song Shiyu waved his hands to interrupt, but Qiao Xi ignored him and continued, “But it’s abnormal for Madam Gu to abuse you. Perhaps you’re really not Madam Gu’s child..”
