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

The photo even has the date it was taken on it.

It was two days before she was born, twenty-two years ago, the day Shen Yuyao was born!

But why does her mother have this photo?

This photo clearly shows that it is at most privately owned by Shen Lifeng and Sun Qin.

Even her grandfather didn't know that Shen Lifeng was having an affair; Shen Yuyao was actually Shen Lifeng's biological daughter.

Does this mean her mother knows these things?

Thinking back to the day her grandfather found her, he told her that her mother had committed suicide due to depression.

Her grandfather didn't say at the time why her mother developed depression.

She didn't ask.

Could it be related to her mother knowing about these things?

Gu Zhi hurriedly checked the back of each photo in the album to see if anything else was hidden inside.

After discovering that they had only hidden one photo of Shen Lifeng and his group.

She started thinking again.

If this was hidden in the photo album, could there be something else hidden in her mother's room?

Gu Zhi couldn't pretend she didn't know about this.

I went back to have lunch with my grandfather.

Gu Zhi then asked Uncle Zhou to arrange a driver to take her back to her home.

On the way there, she also told Jiang Nian about it on WeChat.

"No need to ask anymore, they are their own children too."

"I just found this photo hidden in my mom's photos."

At the same time, Jiang Nian also received a group photo of Shen Lifeng and his family of three taken in the delivery room.

She has already taken a picture with her phone.

Jiang Nian replied immediately:

"I said it was definitely true last time!"

"He's such a jerk!"

"She insisted on marrying into the family, and then she cheated on him and had a child with someone else!"

"Ugh, how disgusting!"

When Gu Zhi returned to the Gu family home, it was only 11:45.

There's still a while before Grandpa has lunch at 8 PM.

Grandpa Gu was naturally happy that his granddaughter had come back to visit him.

But it's clear that my granddaughter must have something on her mind to come back today.

Grandpa Gu was sitting on the sofa with his granddaughter when he heard her ask him:

"Grandpa, I want to know, why did Mom... develop depression?"

After a moment of silence, Old Master Gu sighed and said:

"She bears a great deal of responsibility because you got lost."

"She was the one who took you shopping back then."

"But when you were playing in the children's area, she was watching you play, but then for some reason, she just stood there blankly, not knowing what she was thinking."

"You saw something more interesting and followed it out of the mall, but she didn't notice and just stood there blankly."

"By the time she realizes you're missing and searches everywhere for you, it's too late."

"The mall's surveillance cameras clearly captured these events. She kept watching the footage afterward, and she kept crying, saying it was all her fault."

"But when asked why she seemed so lost in thought, she said she wasn't thinking about anything."

"It was her oversight."

"Tell her it was her fault you got lost."

"She said she shouldn't have taken you to the mall, and that she shouldn't have been spacing out."

"In short, I feel extremely guilty."

"This sense of guilt only intensifies as I continue to search for you."

"She never smiled again."

"And she always cries and says, 'You have no idea where I'm suffering.'"

She said she dreams of you suffering every day.

Hearing this, Gu Zhi's eyes stung a little.

My feelings are extremely complicated.

But he didn't show it on his face at all.

Grandpa Gu continued speaking:

"It wasn't until one day when the maid saw her standing blankly on the rooftop, looking like she was about to jump, that I realized she might be sick and quickly took her to see a doctor."

"The doctor said she has depression."

"It has even reached a severe stage."

"Drug intervention is necessary."

"They also said that her suicidal tendencies were very obvious, and that her family should pay close attention."

"No matter how careful she was, she still managed to commit suicide."

"I frantically called for help to save her, but it was too late."

At this point, the old man's tears had already fallen.

The scene was still vividly etched in his mind.

I can't forget it at all.

Upon seeing this, Gu Zhi quickly grasped her grandfather's hand tightly.

The old man seemed to have finally come out of his pain.

He gently patted her hand and then revealed an extremely kind smile:

"Don't worry, Grandpa is fine."

"I was holding your mother's hand tightly at that time."

"Your mother knew she was really going to die then, and she cried and begged me to promise to keep looking for you and to bring you back."

"She said she was in so much pain that she couldn't go on living, that she had let you down, and that she had let me down as her father."

"She said I spoiled her and raised her for nothing, and now she's leaving us first."

The old man couldn't hold back his tears and they instantly fell again.

Gu Zhi hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe her grandfather's face.

Although Grandpa Gu had tears in his eyes, he was also smiling.

Once the tears had stopped, he smiled and said to Gu Zhi:

"It's okay, I've found you. You and Yan Shen are doing so well now, and Yan Shen's family likes you too. If your mother is watching from heaven, she'll definitely be smiling again and won't be depressed anymore."

Gu Zhi paused for a moment, then said:

"So, when you discovered your mother had depression, she was already severely depressed?"

Grandpa Gu nodded.

Gu Zhi: "Is it possible that my mother already had depression before I got lost?"

Grandpa Gu:

"It's definitely possible."

"After all, even your mother herself couldn't explain how she developed depression."

"After hearing about our family's situation, the doctor could only conclude that it was probably because you went missing that she felt too guilty, missed you too much, and was too afraid that you were suffering, which led to her developing depression."

"But Zhizhi, what exactly do you want to ask? I know you must have come back because of something."

Gu Zhi nodded her head. "Yes, there is something. But before I tell you about it, I need to ask Grandpa a question."

Grandpa Gu: "What's the problem?"

Gu Zhi: "What do you think of Shen Lifeng's feelings towards Shen Yuyao?"

Old Master Gu immediately retorted angrily:

"That's wonderful! Everyone says he treats Shen Yuyao no differently than his own daughter!"

"Every time I hear about this, I want to curse. Look how he treats his own daughter! Is he really treating her no differently?!"

"If you didn't know better, you'd think Shen Yuyao was his biological daughter!"

"When I saw him attending banquets happily with Sun Qin and Shen Yuyao, I even wondered if Shen Yuyao was his biological daughter!"

"But he's stopped contacting me, your mother is dead, and you haven't found her yet, so whether she's my biological daughter or not doesn't matter anymore. I'll just stop at suspicion."

"What, did you discover something?"

"Did he discover that Shen Yuyao is also his biological daughter?"

"Grandpa Gu asked anxiously."

Gu Zhi wasn't surprised at all that her grandfather could guess this.

Grandpa has always been intelligent.

Busy comforting:

"Grandpa, don't worry. Even if you recover well, your heart can't withstand too much stimulation."
