Even Lady Zhong believes that in this matter, Chong Yuji, as Zhong Sheng’s ex-girlfriend, is a victim.

However, Father Zhong, who is completely devoted to his son, has clearly lost that sense of reason.

He was eager to seek trouble with the Chong family, but it was Lady Zhong who found out the identity of the man who injured Zhong Sheng, which finally made Father Zhong give up the idea.

The He Family is not someone the Zhong family can afford to provoke.

Even though the Zhong family gave up on the idea of confronting the Chong family head-on, Father Zhong still faced the Chong Family members with hostility in any subsequent encounters.

Unlike her husband.

Lady Zhong herself had little affection for Zhong Sheng, and in this matter, she harbored no ill feelings towards the Chong Family, so she didn’t mind privately establishing a good relationship with Gu Shengyin.

If Zhong Sheng’s mental state truly cannot recover, then in the future, he obviously won’t be able to inherit the company.

In such a situation, her daughter, as the only legitimate heir of the Zhong family, would naturally be able to secure more benefits.

Gu Shengyin showed a slight interest in what she said: "What’s wrong with Zhong Sheng?"

Lady Zhong looked around to ensure no one was around before slowly saying, "You know Zhong Sheng’s mother and my husband are divorced by agreement. That woman... her personal life is somewhat indecent."

Lady Zhong’s expression was somewhat odd as she spoke.

Back then, Zhong Sheng’s mother’s affairs were quite a big deal within the Capital City.

Her and Father Zhong’s union was a family arrangement, naturally devoid of emotion, each went their separate ways after having the heir.

Having a little lover on the side for both parties was not a serious issue; many wealthy families lived like this.

But this particularly peculiar Lady Zhong.

She had many odd hobbies: for example, keeping many little lovers and playing with them, even perversely recording these moments with a video camera as a keepsake...

Then one time, eight-year-old Zhong Sheng accidentally saw these things while visiting his mother’s villa.

No one noticed the change in him at that time.

It wasn’t until later when Zhong Sheng started fearing women and detested all female contact that Father Zhong discovered something was wrong.

He hired a psychologist for his son, and it took two long years to resolve Zhong Sheng’s mental block.

But it was merely a temporary resolution.

Zhong Sheng privately continued treatment with a psychologist, and only after reaching adulthood did he appear normal.

Lady Zhong, as the stepmother, was aware of these things but had to pretend she knew nothing.

Originally, if Zhong Sheng were lucky and the symptoms didn’t resurface, he might never have had another episode.

However, it’s clear that the breakup with Gu Shengyin somehow triggered him. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

...

Gu Shengyin: "..."

Listening to Lady Zhong’s words, Gu Shengyin was also somewhat speechless.

To be honest, Chong Yuji didn’t do anything seemingly capable of triggering Zhong Sheng’s mental illness.

Zhong Sheng himself cheated and got dumped; such things happen all the time. Now that he’s having problems, what does that have to do with her?

Lady Zhong looked at her expression and hurriedly added, "Of course, we all know that Zhong Sheng’s condition truly has nothing to do with Chairman Chong. It was merely a coincidence."

Gu Shengyin looked at Lady Zhong, her lips slightly curled: "Thank you for your understanding, Lady Zhong."

This woman, is indeed a rare sensible person.
