Gu Yunping didn’t want to mention Che Huan. He had felt some fondness for her, but it had vanished entirely today, "Perhaps only Che Huan can wake him. However, she wants to see you and ask some questions, Yunqing. If you know anything, just tell her everything."

Gu Yunqing nodded, suddenly regretting not having dealt with Che Huan earlier—harboring malicious intentions until now!

Che Huan probably already guessed what she wanted to ask!

Looking towards Che Huan’s direction, Gu Yunqing spoke emotionlessly, "Brother, you go ahead and leave first."

"Che Huan, take your time with your questions." Gu Yunping glanced back at Che Huan before leaving the visitation room.

Che Huan walked straight to the glass window and picked up the internal phone, "You’ve known all along that he was the one that night, right?"

Gu Yunqing laughed, "So what if I did? He knew it was you, too."

Che Huan bit her lip, remaining silent.

A hint of jealousy flashed in Gu Yunqing’s eyes, her laugh piercing, "Che Huan, don’t fool yourself into thinking he’s suddenly fallen for you just because he’s helping and protecting you now!"

Che Huan returned the smile, "I’m not so delusional."

Not wanting to be outdone in front of Che Huan, a more intense amusement flashed in Gu Yunqing’s eyes, "If it were about love, he would have stepped forward five years ago, not wait until now! Don’t daydream. Just the fact that you were once married to Jizhou means you will never enter the Huo Family’s door!"

Che Huan smiled sweetly, "It seems Miss Gu is the one who has been dying to get married into that family but never managed to. As for me, Miss Gu need not worry. I won’t throw myself at someone to be discarded like trash."

Gu Yunqing’s face was as if she had been slapped, burning with rage, her eyes filled with venom as she glared at Che Huan. How did she know? Did Huo Jinnan tell her?

Yes, for five years, she hadn’t been able to get close to him, let alone marry him, and she couldn’t even handle a four-year-old! Remembering how easily Che Huan had caught his attention and won Xiaowei’s affection, Gu Yunqing clenched her teeth and snickered coldly, "He’s helping you only because you’re Jizhou’s wife!"

Che Huan was aware of this herself and didn’t care much for Gu Yunqing’s words; she only smiled faintly.

Thinking of her child, a surge of heat ignited suddenly in her eyes, "Tell me, how did my daughter die? Where is she now?"

Daughter!

At the mention of the daughter, Gu Yunqing’s expression turned ugly, thinking of the piece of sheet Huo Jinnan had cut away that day...

If he had already guessed that she wasn’t Xiaowei’s mother, did he know by now that Che Huan was Xiaowei’s biological mother?

Che Huan still being unaware, did that mean he hadn’t told her?

Gu Yunqing stood there for a while, then began to laugh, "Do you think the Gu and Huo families would tolerate a bastard child?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Upon hearing the term "bastard child," Che Huan clenched her lower lip, "So you’re saying, you mean the Gu Family and the Huo Family conspired to kill my child?"

Gu Yunqing smiled at Che Huan, "I didn’t say that. You’re the one saying it."

Che Huan gripped the phone tighter, "If that’s the case, then let Gu Jizhou pay with his life for my daughter!"

As Gu Yunqing turned to leave, she suddenly spun back around upon hearing these words, looking at Che Huan, "Are you sick? Jizhou is a victim, too. The real culprit is Huo Jinnan—it’s his plot against you! He doesn’t care about the child at all. Otherwise, with his capabilities, do you think he couldn’t have protected a child?"

Che Huan laughed, her face glowing with a fierce light due to her anger, blindingly bright, "I am sick! Sick to the core!"

After putting down the phone, she turned to leave. Over the handset came Gu Yunqing’s frantic voice, "Che Huan, you stop right there!"
