"There's nothing to prepare, just tell me directly."
Then the other party began to recount what happened back then. Wan Ge's current stepmother was just Mr. Duan's assistant back then.
Before Wan Ge's mother passed away, he had never done anything out of line. The two of them only had a superior-subordinate relationship at work, and had no personal relationship or romantic feelings.
Wan Ge's mother mistakenly believed that her husband was having an affair, and it was all done by Wan Ge's mother's best friend.
It turns out that Mrs. Duan's best friend had long been in love with her husband, but Mr. Duan loved his wife very much, so she had no chance to get close to him.
So he planned to sow discord between the two of them first, and then take advantage of the situation. Therefore, he had someone secretly take some photos with the camera angles in the wrong place, so that Mrs. Duan would mistakenly believe that Mr. Duan was having an affair with his assistant.
In addition, Mrs. Duan trusted her best friend a lot, so she didn't doubt what her best friend said much. She secretly followed Mr. Duan and found that he was inseparable from his assistant, so she believed what her best friend said.
After all, the two had been close since childhood, and Mrs. Duan regarded her as her own sister, so she naturally trusted her a lot. In addition, she saw her husband and assistant inseparable, so she really thought her husband was having an affair.
He remained depressed and unhappy until he fell seriously ill, and he never managed to clear up the misunderstanding.
Her best friend was worried that Mr. Duan had impure thoughts about his assistant, so she wanted to make Wan Ge hate the assistant, so that Mr. Duan would definitely hate her too.
Therefore, young Wan Ge mistakenly believed that her mother's death was truly caused by her father's infidelity.
As for how Mr. Duan got together with his assistant, it was all done by his best friend.
During the month following Mrs. Duan's death, Mr. Duan lived in a daze, and his best friend saw this as a good opportunity, so she drugged Mr. Duan's drink.
Unexpectedly, he encountered his assistant delivering documents to Mr. Duan. Mr. Duan, who was already somewhat drunk, had a relationship with his assistant under the influence of drugs. That's how Duan Wanyuan came to be.
When she first became pregnant, Mr. Duan and his assistant both considered whether or not to keep the child.
The assistant had two abortions for her ex-boyfriend, and if she had another abortion, she might have difficulty having children in the future. So, in the end, Mr. Duan asked her to give birth to the child.
Furthermore, in order to make their child's life legitimate, he registered his marriage with his current wife, Mrs. Duan. They only acted like they had a good relationship in front of the child, but in reality, Mr. Duan had long ago converted the walk-in closet in the house into a bedroom, and the two of them had always slept in separate rooms, which is why their room was usually locked.
The younger Wan Ge was deceived by her godmother and mistakenly believed that her father had betrayed her mother, killed her mother, and even openly married his mistress.
As for her best friend, she had already been drugged and taken to the hospital by Mr. Duan.
But before her best friend went in, she was still lying to Wan Ge, saying that she was sent to prison by her father because she had caught them in their affair.
So in young Wan Ge's eyes, her father cheated on her, betrayed her mother, caused her mother's death, and even sent her godmother to prison.
…
After listening, Wan Ge remained silent for a long time before cautiously asking on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Duan, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'll hang up now and come over on Saturday."
"Okay, see you on Saturday."
"Okay, see you on Saturday." After hanging up the phone, Wan Ge looked out at the garden and fell into deep thought.
Her father always seemed to want to make amends to her stepmother and always tried to please her, so she never ran out of money. Her stepmother treated her exceptionally well whether her father was around or not.
What was she thinking back then, when she was young? She thought they were being hypocritical, that they wanted to make up for the hurt they had caused her, but she didn't want to give them a chance.
Wan Ge sighed. In fact, some things were traceable, but he didn't know why he only had the idea to investigate them recently.
One clue is the old man's attitude towards her. If he really cheated and married his mistress so quickly, why would he still try so hard to make amends and treat her so well?
Even in wealthy families like theirs, there are many who favor sons over daughters. Duan Wanyuan, being his only son, is treated completely differently by him than by himself.
The two of them got married so quickly after their mother's death, so their relationship must have been very good, but the stepmother often didn't dare to look the father in the eye.
It was because of these reasons that Wan Ge wanted to look into it some time ago, but why hadn't she thought of it before?
At this moment, Ruan Ruan really wanted to shout: I know! Because the original owner was just a supporting character, and a vicious female supporting character wouldn't think about so many things.
