Ye Wan frowned, listening to Ye Wenqing's words, finding them quite unbelievable. She understood Ye Wenqing's character somewhat—bullying the weak and fearing the strong. In this situation, what she said should be the truth.
Ye Wan secretly glanced at Gu Yunting, noticing his face remained expressionless, his gaze cold as he observed everything.
Gu Ye secretly observed his master's reaction and suddenly raised his gun and fired. The bullet struck next to Ye Wenqing, startling her into a scream.
Ye Wan was also truly startled, quickly covering her mouth to stifle her own cry.
Frightened, Ye Wenqing collapsed onto the ground and shouted, "I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth… At first… at first, I really didn't know about your father's affairs. I wanted to seduce him, but after I overheard it, your father bribed me with money to cooperate with his plan. You know I have to raise my child, so I… I agreed. Your father promised me that after your mother died, he would send me away… I've told you everything, please believe me."
Gu Ye asked, "Who was that woman you mentioned?"
Gu Ye hadn't expected his master to have done such a wicked thing. They had been investigating for years, and all they found was that the master was promiscuous, with many women. However, only two had borne him children: the madam, and Jun Li Chen's mother. It was said that woman had also given birth to a daughter.
But no one had ever imagined that the madam's suicide leap years ago was all the master's scheme, just to make way for his beloved. Unfortunately, despite all his calculations, he hadn't expected that the madam would have taken the young lady with her in her leap. The young lady died, but the madam survived, which is why, even now, the madam has always held the position of Mrs. Gu!
His plan from back then had completely failed.
"I don't know either. I only know such a person exists. Young Master Gu, I've told you everything I should. Back then, I had no choice. Although I took money for it, in that situation, if I hadn't taken the money, I might have lost my life. Ye Wan cannot be without a mother!" Ye Wenqing said emotionally. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Take her away." Gu Yunting waved his hand for her to be taken away after hearing what Ye Wenqing had to say.
"Young Master Gu, please spare me. I am truly innocent. Everything was orchestrated by your father. He didn't even touch me; it was he who wanted the madam dead," Ye Wenqing shouted hysterically.
Gu Ye ordered his men to drag Ye Wenqing away. To prevent her from speaking recklessly, he ordered her mouth to be gagged.
Everyone left, leaving Gu Yunting alone in the side hall. His handsome brows were deeply furrowed. He had always thought his father was simply promiscuous, but now he realized it was all a facade, all for the sake of protecting the woman he loved most.
He knew without asking who that woman was. The Gu family wasn't foolish, so only that woman could have given him two children.
So, his cheap brother deliberately approached Ye Wan, deliberately used Ye Wan to provoke him, was he seeking retribution for his mistress mother?
How laughable!
Gu Yunting suddenly felt a surge of anger burning in his chest. His own mother was the legitimate wife of the Gu family, married at the request of the Gu family elders. Yet, after marrying her, they used the most despicable means to try and force her to her death to make way for another, which was utterly shameless.
If they truly wanted to leave, they could have spoken openly, or even filed a lawsuit. Instead, they resorted to murder!
Gu Yunting never considered himself a good person, but his father's shamelessness exceeded his imagination.
