The wife he married through an arranged marriage is so sweet, Mr. Lu can't control himself.

Gu Xingwan didn't even realize it had anything to do with him.

Isn't this a case of knowing everything but never blaming him?

That's absolutely stupid, utterly idiotic.

But if he hadn't cheated on her and had just stayed with Gu Xingwan, things would be different now, right?

Even if he cheated on her, as long as he didn't let Gu Zhi get lost.

Gu Xingwan's depression isn't severe; at most, she's just mildly depressed. She won't die, and things would be different then, right?

He had heard that Gu Zhi was extremely filial and would often visit Old Master Gu.

But what about Shen Yuyao?

I wish I could lie on top of him and suck the last drop of his blood dry!

And what about Sun Qin?

She only cares about herself and her daughter living a good life, and doesn't care at all whether he lives or dies!

Shen Lifeng regretted it even more.

How foolish he was to reject pearls, even losing them, and instead choose two fish eyes!

"What are you standing there for? Get to work!" a coworker urged impatiently.

Some of the workers started cursing:

"What a scumbag. Your first wife was so wonderful; she even thought it was her fault when you cheated on her, and didn't think you were at fault at all. Where can you find such a good wife!"

While busy working, Shen Lifeng thought to himself.

Yes.

Gu Xingwan is so wonderful.

Gentle, kind, and innocent, I can't blame him for anything.

Where can you find such a good wife?

He went to great lengths to win her over, only to find out it was all for a viper, a whore…

Shen Lifeng was filled with remorse.

They even seem to be starting to have a conscience.

He felt that he was the one who ruined Gu Xingwan.

Another coworker cursed:

"His heart is rotten to the core; he deserves his own daughter to disown him!"

"I heard his daughter is incredibly wealthy, from a very elite family. If he hadn't cheated on her, or even treated her just a little bit well, he wouldn't be stuck here doing manual labor with us!"

Immediately, a fellow worker chimed in:

"That's right, that's right."

"If he had been even slightly kind to his daughter, she could have easily given him a lot of money and it would have been enough to crush him. Why is he working himself to the bone like this? He deserves it!"

Shen Lifeng used to be reluctant to listen to these things.

But today, I listened to everything.

He was filled with remorse.

Her eyes even welled up with tears.

Yes.

If Gu Zhi acknowledges him.

Even if you just give him a little money, he can still live a good life.

What exactly did he do?!

……

On that same day, Luo Guizhen, who was in the intensive care unit, actually woke up.

The vital signs also tended to stabilize.

That afternoon, Luo Guizhen was transferred to a regular ward.

The police were taking Luo Guizhen's statement in this hospital room.

Knowing that her past misdeeds had been exposed and that even her son was under investigation, Luo Guizhen remained silent for a long time.

They all confessed honestly.

And tears streamed down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably, saying:

"Where would I get at least three million? I've become quite extravagant over the years, and I've spent it all."

"I lied to my son."

"Tell me I still have money."

"Because I know in my heart that he is not filial at all, and I have been deceiving myself all along."

"I'm afraid that once I'm in the operating room, he'll abandon me."

"That's why I lied to him like that."

"So that he would sell everything he owns to save me, even if it meant going bankrupt, just for the money I have."

"I was wrong."

"I used to really think he was my lifeblood. He was my only son, and I was sure he would take care of me in my old age."

"But I'm so old now, and he only cares about me because he thinks I still have money. In reality, he and his wife despise me behind my back."

"I know all of that."

"Now that I've woken up, God must be decreing that I must live to face my punishment."

"I can't just die so easily."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Xingwan. I plead guilty."

"I will accept whatever judgment is handed down."

……

Two days later, the diary was no longer needed as any kind of testimony.

The police returned the diary to Gu Zhi.

It was a Saturday, and Lu Yanshen was at home.

Moreover, today happens to be the 15th. Lu Yanshen and Gu Zhi went back to the old house this morning and had lunch there before returning.

Seeing that Gu Zhi had received the diary, Lu Yanshen stood up and said, "It just so happens that my grandfathers gave me a big box of letters. I'm going to the study to read them."

I know he's giving her space, letting her watch it by herself.

Gu Zhi immediately grabbed his hand, "No need."

She genuinely didn't think it was necessary.

She still felt that her heart was quite cold and hard; she was very cold-blooded.

But she had already promised him that she wouldn't say anything about being cold-blooded anymore.

Of course, she would never say such a thing again.

Lu Yanshen, however, was quite insistent.

He knew how soft-hearted his wife was.

He felt that she actually cared a lot about her mother.

Lu Yanshen bent down and kissed Gu Zhi's forehead with extreme tenderness, his voice equally gentle: "Baby, be good."

As for Uncle Zhou and the others, they had already left.

Lu Yanbai also went back to the old house today, but he hasn't returned yet and won't be back until tonight.

It's just the two of them in the living room now.

Gu Zhi always accepted his coaxing and gentle treatment.

Then she nodded her little head: "Okay, go to the study and read the letter."

Lu Yanshen didn't rush upstairs immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said gently, "I'll be in the study."

Gu Zhi understood what he meant.

If you need him, you can call him down anytime, or go find him.

Gu Zhi tilted her head up, her eyes immediately crinkling into a smile: "Mmm~"

Lu Yanshen gently kissed her forehead again before going upstairs.

Gu Zhi happily watched Lu Yanshen disappear at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

Then he turned his gaze back to the diary on his lap.

The moment her gaze fell upon the diary, the smile on her face unconsciously faded.

In the end, it was gone.

She flipped through her mother's diary page by page.

Her mother's diary entries were not very long.

Some diaries only contain one or two sentences.

But I write every day.

Besides what her legal team told her, there was indeed a great deal of other information.

For example, since she was born, most of her mother's diaries have been about her.

Even on the day she was born, her mother was still writing in her diary while she was on the delivery bed.

Her mother wrote the following in her diary that day:

"My baby was born today! My baby is so cute! I've never seen a cuter baby than mine!"

It turns out that her mother also calls her baby.

Gu Zhi pursed her lips.

Then I flipped through the pages.

Not long after, I saw Sun Qin secretly looking for her mother, and her mother's diary entry from that day.

This diary entry does indeed mention that her mother had considered divorce.

But in the end, she only blamed herself and gave up.

And this diary entry also states:

"I never imagined he was that kind of person, having a small family outside. And a child who's two days older than my baby."

"But I don't regret it."

"If I hadn't married him, I wouldn't have the cutest baby in the world!"

"If I could live my life all over again, I would still choose to marry him."

"Because I still want my baby."

"I love my baby."

Gu Zhi's fingers paused as she looked at the contents.
