The Gu family was in complete chaos. Gu Yanshuo fell seriously ill as soon as he returned home, and everyone was taking care of him.

Everyone was exhausted and had no energy, so the task of taking care of Gu Yanshuo fell to Li Yaxian.

She muttered to herself, but resigned herself to taking care of Gu Yanshuo.

This is her daughter's son, so it's understandable that she takes care of him, but she feels very aggrieved.

She used to be pampered by Gu Yuanhong, but now everything has changed, and she has become the caretaker of the Gu family.

Knowing his true identity, he was still angry but dared not speak out.

After all, Gu Yuanhong was willing to remarry her and let her return to the Gu family, just so she could come back and take care of Gu Yanshuo.

I know the truth, but I still feel wronged.

She and Gu Yuanhong used to have such a good relationship, but now he doesn't even want to share a room with her. Just thinking about it makes her heart ache.

How come everything has changed?

She no longer recognized him.

She had to swallow all her grievances; if she dared to bring up those messy things again, she would have nowhere to hide.

Although she and Gu Yuanhong are not like husband and wife now, they still sleep in separate rooms.

But when she was taking care of Gu Yanshuo with a pitiful expression until midnight, Gu Yuanhong came over.

He handed her the bowl of noodles, saying, "Eat something first. I'll take care of Yan Shuo later. You go back and get some rest."

"And what about you?"

"I'll stay and take care of him."

"No, you have to go to work tomorrow."

“I’m fine. You can’t possibly take care of Yan Shuo all by yourself, even if you work day and night.”

"Go back to sleep. I'll take care of Yan Shuo from now on, otherwise you won't have the energy to go to work tomorrow."

Gu Yuanhong shook his head. "Although you are the one who caused all of this, and you should be the one to take care of it, I am a man and I can't push everything onto you. That wouldn't be fair to you."

Upon hearing this, Li Yaxian felt a smile well up inside her, and she stepped forward to take Gu Yuanhong's hand.

"Yuan Hong, you still love me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't feel so sorry for me."

At this moment, Gu Yuanhong could only laugh. "I didn't feel sorry for you. I was just fulfilling my duty."

"No. I don't believe it. You definitely love me in your heart, you love me very, very much. You once said you would love me for a lifetime."

Gu Yuanhong gave a mocking laugh, "I used to love you, but I don't anymore at this moment. I really don't love you anymore. Do you think I would still love you after all the mistakes you've made? Don't be ridiculous."

“I still don’t understand… I never said I wanted a son, yet you had the audacity to give me a son instead, which means my biological daughter is still in prison… and will never get out.”

“The son I raised is now annoyed by us. You tell me, after all you’ve done, you’re actually begging for my forgiveness? I’m not stupid.”

Gu Yuanhong broke free from Li Yaxian's hand and patted it with a look of disgust.

"I don't even know how much of the love I had for you back then was real and how much was fake."

Li Yaxian shook her head. "I know I was wrong, I did something wrong, but my feelings for you are real, and my love for you is real."

Gu Yuanhong looked at Li Yaxian with red eyes and said, word by word.

"But I don't trust you anymore. You know better than anyone why I asked you to go back to the Gu family. It's just because Yan Shuo likes you more and is more attached to you. That's all."

Li Yaxian looked at Gu Yuanhong in disbelief, "How could you do this to me? You used to love me so much."

Gu Yuanhong closed his eyes. He had indeed loved her before, but everything had changed when she lied to him.

"Everything changed when you audaciously switched my daughter."

"From now on, your role in the Gu family will only be to take care of Yan Shuo. Don't think about anything else. There's no need for it, because I will never forgive you."

Li Yaxian was unwilling to accept it and stepped forward to grab Gu Yuanhong's hand. "But everything I did was for you. I love you. I was afraid that this family would fall apart without a son, so I was bewitched and switched the children."

"Actually, I'm not really confusing the bloodline of your Gu family. After all, the child I switched is also of the Gu family bloodline, just a child from a collateral branch, so the blood relationship is a little more distant."

At this point, Gu Yuanhong was utterly disappointed in Li Yaxian. He was truly amazed that she could still come up with so many high-sounding reasons even at this point.

"All your selfish actions are for your own benefit. I have never thought of abandoning you, let alone divorcing you without a son. These words have never crossed my mind."

"You know perfectly well what all of this is all about, so there's no need to bring these unseemly things to the forefront, since it all really is fake."

"No. No, everything I did was for our family, really just for our family. How could you do this to me?"

Gu Yuanhong gave a mocking smile, his lips curling into a sarcastic smirk. "You know the truth better than anyone else, so don't spout this nonsense in front of me. It's really unnecessary."

"The reason you're targeting Gu Dabao's child is simply because he already has two sons, so he doesn't cherish his son as much, making it easier to reach a cooperation agreement. And most importantly, Gu Dabao is short of money."

"Actually, there's another reason why you chose Gu Dabao: because he looks a lot like my dad."

Li Yaxian's secret was exposed, and she stumbled back several steps, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.

Although she didn't want to admit it, the person who understood her best in the world was Gu Yuanhong, the man who had been with her for most of her life.

"No, that's not it. It's really not like that. I just love you so much and don't want to lose you, that's why I had the idea of ​​switching babies."

Gu Yuanhong no longer had the energy to argue with her about these meaningless things.

"It's really pointless... The damage has already been done... My parents seem to have aged several years all of a sudden. Who is responsible for making them so carefree every day?"

“They used to be such a remarkable presence in the compound, with five great-grandchildren from two pregnancies, all of whom were smart and adorable, and their grandchildren held high positions of power. Now everything has changed, and they don’t even want to leave the house.”

“They keep pointing and whispering about us as soon as we go out... Now they don’t even want to leave the house, they stay at home all day, just to avoid the gossip outside.”

“They’re not young anymore. They should be enjoying their grandchildren, but now everything has become a joke. Didn’t you consider these things before you did them?”

Li Yaxian shook her head frantically, "No, no... I just want our family to be alright."

The man looked at her mockingly, "Actually, all of this could have continued to go wrong, but you couldn't let go of your daughter and kept doing outrageous things, which led to the current tragedy. You wanted it all... You can't be so greedy. If you want everything, you end up with nothing."
