Qin Yumei's face turned bright red. Su Xiao can testify that it was definitely not from embarrassment, but from anger.
Qin Yumei glared and said coldly, "Can't we talk this out properly?"
"Yes." Gu Tingjiang touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Anyway, I fell in love with your mother at first sight and I would marry no one but her. So, I started to pursue your mother fiercely."
"Unfortunately, your mother barely acknowledges me." Gu Tingjiang said, a hint of resentment in his voice.
Qin Yumei glared again.
Gu Tingjiang avoided eye contact and continued, "Xiaoxiao, you have no idea how many methods I used to win over your mother back then..."
*Slap!* "Get to the point."
Gu Tingjiang, feeling wronged after being hit, said, "I saw that your mother was avoiding me, so I had to find a way. When I learned that my classmate Qin Huifang was an adopted daughter of the Qin family, I thought I could get close to your mother through her."
Su Xiao pressed the tip of her tongue against her back molars, thinking to herself, "The melodrama is about to begin."
Sure enough, Gu Tingjiang said, "I wasn't familiar with Qin Huifang at first, so I deliberately tried to get close to her. Uh... but later I found out that she actually liked me. Yumei, believe me, at the time, I really didn't know she liked me. If I had known, I would never have bothered with her."
"Alright. Continue." Qin Yumei's tone was harsh, her brows furrowed, and she seemed somewhat irritated, as if she had remembered something.
Su Xiao curled her lip, thinking to herself, "Scumbag."
"Not long after, I became acquainted with Qin Huifang, and through Qin Huifang, I successfully arranged to meet your mother to watch a movie together."
"How did you arrange it?" Su Xiao asked curiously.
"I just gave Qin Huifang two movie tickets, saying that someone else gave them to her so she could bring her friends to see the movie. I actually bought four tickets. I gave her two in the middle, and I'll sit on either side of the remaining two. I'll see which side your mom is sitting on, and I'll sit on that side."
"Heh..." Qin Yumei sneered, clearly recalling what happened back then.
Gu Tingjiang sighed helplessly, "It was also on that day that Qin Huifang found out why I approached her, and she didn't come to school for several days. However, not long after, she went back to school, and when he looked for her again, she treated me the same as before. I thought she considered me a friend, so I asked her to help me pursue your mother, and she agreed."
"She agreed?" Su Xiao asked incredulously.
Gu Tingjiang's expression was somewhat complicated. "Yes, she did agree, and she did help me a lot afterward. Your mother and I also grew closer and closer, and eventually we talked about marriage. Everything was so natural and logical."
"If what happened later hadn't happened, I would have been grateful to her for the rest of my life." As he said this, Gu Tingjiang became somewhat overwhelmed with emotion and covered his eyes with his hands.
Su Xiao didn't rush him. After waiting for a while, he calmed down a bit, and then she let go of his hand and continued, "Your mother and I got married, and soon we had your brother. Three years later, we had you. This period was the happiest time for our family. I thought we would be happy like this for the rest of our lives."
Gu Tingjiang looked at Qin Yumei, who was also somewhat dazed.
"And then what?" Although it's cruel, there's no use in avoiding the question.
"When your mother was two months pregnant, one day, it was my buddy's birthday party, and I went to the banquet alone. In the banquet hall, I was drugged with hallucinogenic drugs. Qin Huifang somehow got wind of it, rushed over, and took me away."
