The two men pushed open Gu Qingli's half-closed door and pulled her to the sofa: "If you have any questions, just ask. Your mother and I promise to know everything."
Gu Qingli looked at her slightly guilty mother and her calm father, and a thought occurred to her: "Could it be that you two have already discussed this matter?"
"No."
"I know."
"What?" Song Huanyan's reaction was even greater than Gu Qingli's: "When did you know?"
She quickly thought about what happened after she got married. In order to keep the secret, she only left one photo at home, in Qingli's room, so there should be no possibility of it being discovered.
Since he didn't discover it on his own initiative, someone must have reported it privately. But who was that person? Could it be his secretary?
The secretary, who was carefully checking the office for any leftover papers, sneezed. He touched his forehead and said, "I don't have a fever. Could someone be missing me?"
Gu Sumu remained calm: "Not long after marrying you, I realized that you didn't really marry me because you loved me. As for the matter between you and Qingdai, I also just found out not long ago."
When Gu Sumu was young, he was also a popular figure in school. Many people wrote him love letters, and some even gave up their shyness and pursued him fiercely.
Therefore, he knew what it felt like to like someone, and he could also clearly realize that there was not much affection in Song Huanyan's eyes.
But he didn't care about this matter, nor did he expect much love. He married Song Huanyan to complete the family's mission and to find someone to accompany his daughter. It didn't matter who this person was.
Originally, he felt a little guilty towards Song Huanyan, thinking that one shouldn't be too cold to someone who loved him.
After knowing Song Huanyan's thoughts, he felt relieved and felt that there was no affection between both parties, which was the best ending for a loveless marriage.
In this way, the two of them got along peacefully, and both sides thought that the other had not seen through their true colors.
He also always knew that Song Huanyan had someone she liked, after all, the bracelet on her hand was obviously given to her by someone else.
A crudely made bracelet must have special meaning for it to be so treasured.
The only thing that surprised him was that she liked Xu Qingdai, which made the usually calm Gu Sumu dazed for a few moments.
In fact, it was an accident that he discovered the clue.
That day he went to Song Huanyan's company for something and happened to see the scraps of paper falling under the table.
He originally thought it was Song Huanyan's file and wanted to help her put it away, but he immediately saw the name on it.
When he saw the three words "Xu Qingdai", his mind suddenly became clear.
The question that had been bothering him finally had an answer. No wonder Song Huanyan was so nice to Qingli. He thought she simply liked children, but now it seemed that she also had unknown thoughts.
But Gu Sumu quickly put the paper back to its original place. He decided to help her keep the secret.
After all, Qingli is not young anymore and will soon be at the age of marriage. If other people knew about this, it would probably affect her reputation and hinder her marriage.
Secondly, there is no need for the Gu and Song families to create a rift because of this emotional issue.
But this is not a trivial matter. In order to confirm his idea, he specially asked someone to investigate Song Huanyan's past.
After investigation, it was found that she did have a brief contact with Xu Qingdai when she was young, and over the years, she would go to Xu Qingdai's tomb to pay tribute every month.
He even set up a charity organization specifically for Xu Qingdai to help her accumulate more virtue.
These thoughtful actions made Gu Sumu feel ashamed. If he had heard these things when he was young, he would definitely be moved by such beautiful love.
The only thing that made him unhappy was that Song Huanyan had actually drugged him.
Perhaps it was because Song Huanyan had not established a firm foothold in the Song family at the beginning, and some of the things she did left flaws.
After investigation by private detectives, it was found that she had purchased a large amount of drugs that kill men's sperm.
So, she made two preparations as soon as she got married. Whether she liked it or not, he would only have Qingli as a child in his life.
If he wasn't the victim, he would have applauded Song Huanyan's greatness.
However, he didn't want to have more children. Besides, Song Huanyan was really good to Qingli, so he didn't plan to discuss the matter further with her.
He looked at his daughter's innocent face and decided to keep this matter completely in his heart.
Gu Qingli listened to the whole thing and looked at his father with admiration. He didn't expect that he would accept it so quickly.
Now that she knew her father had no grudges, she relaxed a lot: "How are you two going to deal with this now? Are you going to continue living like this, or?"
Gu Sumu glanced at Song Huanyan and said, "As long as it doesn't damage the relationship between the two families, I'm open to any way of handling it."
Seeing him so generous, Song Huanyan felt a belated sense of guilt. She said in a low voice, "Let's get a divorce. It will be better for your reputation."
But don't worry, I have a lot of power in the company now, and I won't shake the foundation of our cooperation."
Gu Sumu nodded: "Okay, let the public relations departments of both companies send out a notice together tomorrow.
If the Song family puts too much pressure on you, you can also come to me. For Qingli's sake, I will help you."
Song Huanyan smiled indifferently: "You can rest assured about this. No one in the Song family can pose a threat to me now."
Gu Qingli felt a little disappointed when he saw them talking about future development in a few words.
She looked at Song Huanyan secretly, perhaps she would never be able to be with her again.
Seeing her abandoned look, Song Huanyan's heart softened a little: "We are just divorced. I will not leave this city. You can still come to me anytime."
Only the old father Gu Sumu was secretly sad. He couldn't help but take the initiative to attack: "Qingli, the one who needs comfort the most right now is your father."
When Song Huanyan was about to leave, Gu Qingli held her hand and said, "Come to the hospital when you have time."
Song Huanyan patted her comfortingly: "I will."
In fact, she had long discovered that there was something wrong with her heart, but she had been avoiding it. Now it seemed that it was time to solve it. After all, if she let it go, she might do something to hurt Qingli.
Song Huanyan was not wrong. When Old Master Song called her back, he simply scolded her.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is the one who has the final say in the Song family, and others have no room for resistance.
Many companies that wanted to take advantage of the broken relationship between the two companies were disappointed, because they had no tendency to split up at all and still maintained the closest ties, as if nothing had happened.
