Gu Ming'en's answer put Jiang Yilai in a dilemma, as she worried that her persistence would bring trouble to the Gu family.

She turned to look at Fu Nanxiao, hoping he would give her a hint.

Fu Nanxiao said, "We all respect your opinion now, and it's up to you to decide."

If I make the choice for her, she will inevitably have regrets in the end. It's better to leave everything to her.

Faced with Gu Ming'en's solemn expression, Jiang Yilai felt uncertain.

She took a deep breath and walked to Gu Ming'en's side, asking earnestly, "Uncle, although it's difficult for you to ask this, can you tell me why?"

Jiang Yilai can do as they say, but at least she should know what's going on.

She couldn't question Fu Nanxiao directly; she could only look for the reason within him.

Gu Ming'en sighed softly, his eyes filled with helplessness.

He knew that once the secret was revealed, it would inevitably spread.

Seeing his predicament, Fu Nanxiao also spoke up: "If you don't want to talk about it, Lai Lai won't blame you."

Gu Ming'en waved his hand and said heavily, "These were originally my mistakes, and now I want to cut my losses. That's really wrong. I'm the one who should be punished the most."

Jiang Yilai realized that things were far more serious than she had thought, and felt a pang of regret.

"Uncle, perhaps I shouldn't have broken this silence, I..."

“Lai Lai, you did nothing wrong. It was my attempt to cover up my evil deeds that backfired and took Qi Hang’s life. I am deeply guilty.”

Gu Ming'en interrupted her and decided to reveal the secret.

Although he decided to send Gu Nianqiang abroad, he was always uneasy. He knew that even if he did this, his conscience would eventually be tormented.

It would be better to be honest about everything; this is something he should face.

Jiang Yilai tried to comfort him, but Fu Nanxiao patted her shoulder and said softly, "Since he has made up his mind, let's listen to him."

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever; the best way to solve a problem is to be open and honest.

Whatever he faces next, it is what he should bear.

Jiang Yilai frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's okay?"

Will the answer she seeks also be a result she cannot bear?

Gu Ming'en let out a long breath and said seriously, "I don't want to hide this anymore, Lai Lai. Actually, Gu Nianqiang is my biological daughter."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yilai was completely stunned, shaking her head in disbelief. How could things have turned out this way?

Everyone knew that Gu Nianqiang was an adopted daughter, but now they're telling her this.

She quickly turned to look at Fu Nanxiao and saw him nod slightly, so it was true.

This is the secret that Fu Nanxiao couldn't tell her: Gu Nianqiang is indeed a descendant of the Gu family.

"How could this be? Wasn't she someone the Gu family adopted from an orphanage? How could she suddenly become your daughter? Did you only find out later, or did you know beforehand?"

Gu Ming'en sighed and said, "This matter is a bit complicated. Let Nan Xiao tell you what happened."

No wonder Fu Nanxiao has been so restless these past two days; it turns out he was carrying this secret.

Even if it happened to her, it wouldn't be easy; Jiang Yilai was mostly just confused.

With Gu Ming'en's permission, Fu Nanxiao told her what had happened, leaving Jiang Yilai stunned and at a loss for words.

Before coming, she had considered many possibilities, but she never imagined that the truth would be so unacceptable.
