Su Xiao could already guess what might happen next.
Sure enough, Gu Tingjiang said regretfully, "I was in a daze at the time and had no idea what was going on. I ended up having sex with Qin Huifang. Afterwards, Qin Huifang disappeared without a trace, and I could only pretend that nothing had happened."
“I didn’t see her for several months and thought the matter was over. But when your mother was nine months pregnant, I took her to a prenatal checkup and ran into Qin Huifang, who was also there for a checkup.”
"Honestly, my mind went completely blank at that moment."
"Qin Huifang ran away as soon as she saw us. Your mother had finally seen her, and with this situation, how could she let her go? She immediately chased after her, and then she accidentally fell and went into premature labor."
"So melodramatic, so incredibly melodramatic," Su Xiao muttered to herself.
“Your mother gave birth to you, and I had both a son and a daughter. It was such a happy thing. But unfortunately, all of this was ruined by Qin Huifang. She ruined all my happiness…” Gu Tingjiang pounded the table with his fist, filled with resentment and frustration.
“She was at the hospital for a prenatal checkup, and the hospital must have kept her records. The Qin family found her very quickly…”
"Let me explain," Qin Yumei interrupted him, "Qin Huifang is the daughter of an uncle from a collateral branch of the Qin family. Her father sacrificed himself to save my father, so my parents adopted her into the Qin family. She is two years older than me and takes good care of me. We get along very well."
“I didn’t know she liked Tingjiang too. If I had known, I would never have dated or married your father.”
"Xiao Mei." Gu Tingjiang's eyes were filled with sorrow and resentment.
“When my family found her and discovered she was pregnant, they naturally asked her about the situation, but she was very stubborn and refused to say anything. My father was so angry that he threatened to sever ties with her, which was just an angry threat, but she reacted so strongly that she agreed on the spot and turned around and left.”
At this point, Qin Yumei could only sigh.
"Qin Huifang, an adopted daughter of the Qin family, became pregnant without getting married, which caused quite a stir in their social circle at the time. Soon, someone came forward to speak out. Calculating her pregnancy, someone revealed that a few months ago, he saw him and Qin Huifang together somewhere, and the two were behaving intimately and flirting."
That person was right; they were talking about the day Gu Tingjiang had his accident.
"Rumors spread quickly. At the time, both the Qin and Gu families were running for committee members. My father was really angry about this and interrogated Qin Huifang again."
Perhaps my father said something harsh, because Su Huifang, heavily pregnant, came to the hospital and immediately told me about her and your father.
I was absolutely furious. The more I listened, the more disgusted I felt, and I didn't want to hear a word she said. Your dad was still apologizing profusely, saying sorry over and over again. I felt like I was going crazy, my mind was a mess, and I didn't want to hear him anymore. I pushed your dad away and ran out. Your dad chased after me, and then…”
"Then..." Qin Yumei burst into tears, "When I went back to the room, you were gone. It was my fault, it was all my fault. If I hadn't run away then, Qin Huifang wouldn't have had the chance to take you away. Xiaoxiao, it's all my fault. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just ask you to give me a chance to make up for all the years I've neglected you..."
Su Xiao's heart softened when she saw Qin Yumei's tearful eyes. She took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, saying, "Okay, wipe your tears first. Don't cry too much, it's bad for your health."
"You said yes." Qin Yumei looked at her with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.
