Gu Qingyao paused. Indeed, there was some misunderstanding between Father and Mother.

Back then, Mother was in labor when she was injured and was unconscious. It was the grandparents who brought her away. When she regained consciousness and looked for Father, she found out that Father was already married with kids, so she thought that she was lied to and so she left the country?

No wonder in the previous lifetime, Qiao’s Jewelry expanded worldwide and only excluded China. Was it because Father was there?

Gu Qingyao hurriedly explained, “No! My father did not lie to you!”

Qiao Yuying looked up at her.

“Back then, he indeed had a wife in name only, but there was a reason. He never cheated on you and never betrayed you. During that time, the Gu family was in great danger. I believe you’re aware of the environment in the country back then. The Gu family had already declined, and that woman clung to Father when she was pregnant with another man’s child.

“That woman is called Zhang Xiaohui. She’s the daughter of a farmer family in the Qing River Brigade, right? She has no feelings for Father and likes a man who works in the provincial capital. She got pregnant with his child, but that man married a lady in the city.

“Afterward, Zhang Xiaohui had no choice. The Gu family caught her eye as my uncles had some accomplishments with their work outside and kept sending food back home. The Zhang family wanted those rations.

“And most importantly, our family had a very low status in the brigade back then. Zhang Xiaohui thought that my father had a lowly identity and was easy to control and that my grandparents’ identity was even more lowly, thus everyone in the Gu family had to listen to her after she married. Thus she clung onto Father.

“The Gu family was in danger back then, and the Zhang family were shameless people. My father was worried that if the matter blew up, it would implicate Grandpa and Grandma, thus he agreed.”

Qiao Yuying was completely dumbfounded. He never thought that there would be so many issues behind this.

She left too hurriedly back then and was completely unaware of the situation at Gu Yunshen’s side. There was too little time and no time to understand the situation in detail. After the people who were sent to investigate the situation returned, she was extremely heartbroken. Her parents were in a hurry to go abroad too, so they forcefully brought her away.

Gu Qingyao continued saying, “He never betrayed you. He and Zhang Xiaohui have always been married in name only, and he has never touched her. He knows that Zhang Xiaohui’s child is not his. He originally had a way to get rid of that woman and that child was his greatest chip.

“But unexpectedly, when Zhang Xiaohui was in labor, he happened to meet you. Did you know? You and Zhang Xiaohui were in labor at the same place back then. That woman gave birth to a pair of female twins, but Father saw that she carried one of the children into the arms of a powerful family. Father knew that I was in danger back then, so he ran back and placed me in Zhang Xiaohui’s ward to make up a pair of twins. When he went back to look for you, you were already taken away.”

Qiao Yuying’s mind was very messy. All of these were different from what she knew, but she believed her. She instinctively believed all of this.

Throughout all these years, she could not accept that person would lie to her and could not believe that her child was dead. Now, her daughter had appeared before her, and everything she supposedly knew from the past were overruled in an instant.

Even if this girl before her had yet to be verified to be her daughter, feelings would not be wrong. The connection between blood ties told her that this girl was the child that she used her life to protect back then.
