"She... her silhouette is very similar, her features are even more like her mother, but sitting with you, it just looks like father and daughter," the teacher stammered, the resemblance truly striking. "Especially with your two faces side by side, they're identical."
The teacher boldly voiced what she saw.
Other teachers in the office chimed in, "Yes, if it weren't for Tuan Tuan's mother saying so, no one would suspect you weren't father and daughter. You're just exactly alike!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yun Ting immediately stood up and strode out. The two teachers finally breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly remembering the crying child in the classroom, they quickly ran back to comfort her.
Gu Yun Ting caught up with Ye Wan at the kindergarten entrance. She was waiting for a car. He rushed over, grabbed her, and dragged her towards his car. Ye Wan raised her hand to strike him. Gu Yun Ting dodged and caught her other hand, asking, "Is Ye Tuan Tuan really not my daughter?"
"Don't even dream about it! Your daughter died long ago! You watched her die with your own eyes, and you wouldn't even let the doctor save her. Have you forgotten?" Ye Wan glared at him angrily, her eyes filled with intense hatred.
"That child is truly a daughter?" Gu Yun Ting's chest tightened, and he froze in place.
"Let go of me!" Ye Wan suddenly kicked at Gu Yun Ting's calf. Gu Yun Ting grunted. Because Ye Wan's strength was so great, she saw Gu Yun Ting's calf... break?
Ye Wan stared in shock at the man before her. Gu Yun Ting had already let go of her, but his calf had come off. It was a prosthetic leg!
Gu Ye quickly ran over and helped Gu Yun Ting, who was almost falling. With red eyes, he said, "Young Madam, Young Master's leg was severely injured. It's already a miracle that he can stand again. You can't do this to him anymore."
He genuinely felt heartbroken watching his Young Master being 'abused' since the Young Madam returned. But as an outsider, he had no standing to say anything more, and besides, his Young Master wouldn't allow it.
"Then... then it has nothing to do with me. It wasn't my fault," Ye Wan stammered, then turned to leave. However, a tempest raged in her heart. Gu Yun Ting had lost his leg. What had happened? She suddenly remembered him from her childhood, how gentle and refined he was, such a perfect young man.
Her heart suddenly ached fiercely.
"Young Master lost his leg because he jumped into the sea with her. You think only you suffered grievances, but Young Master suffered no less than you! When Young Master was rescued, he was so severely injured he almost died. It was Dr. Jin who tried his best to barely save his life, but his leg..."
"Gu Ye, shut up!" Gu Yun Ting coldly stopped him.
"Young Master, why won't you let me speak! How long will you two torment each other like this? You almost died back then!" Gu Ye felt heartbroken recalling everything that happened that year.
The situation back then was truly perilous!
"Young Master's leg had become rotten back then. If it wasn't amputated, he would have died. So, Young Master had to amputate his leg to save his life! Now he's a disabled person! Can you just pity him a little? Stop tormenting him." Gu Ye blurted out everything he wanted to say in one go, then knelt on the ground, looking as if he was ready to be punished.
Gu Yun Ting looked at the woman standing in the distance with complex emotions, his heart filled with unspeakable bitterness. He had been driven mad by her back then. Knowing she had married another man, he was furious. How could he not want to save the child? He was just waiting for Jin Lan.
