Chapter 395: Chapter 396: The Truth
Liu Ruyan didn’t expect Xia Yangyang to be so smart.
But thinking about it, it was rather obvious.
This child has been clever since she was young.
All these years, she kept a low profile in this household, but she was actually playing dumb while outsmarting others.
Otherwise, how could she have quietly risen to the position of young Mistress in the southern Gu Family’s mansion?
And managed to have Gu Qichen so doting on her?
Liu Ruyan began to speak, “Since you discovered it, I won’t conceal it anymore. Whether Weiwei did those things out of confusion or jealousy towards your lilight, I just wanted her to tell you that your mother’s death has sothing to do with Gu Mingzhu. I did this for your own good. If I knew the truth but didn’t tell you, I’m afraid you’d resent even more in the future.”
However, Yangyang’s heart sank. “What exactly is the truth you’re talking about?”
Liu Ruyan slowly began, “Actually, since the first ti I saw Gu Mingzhu, I felt sothing was amiss. After all, back then, your mother and I were… love rivals. Naturally, I paid a bit more attention to her life. At that ti, your mother had already married your father and left the entertainnt industry, yet she always had a persistent enemy—Gu Mingzhu. Back then, Gu Mingzhu was at the pinnacle of her career. It was said that she and your mother graduated from the sa school and were best friends. But later on, they had a falling out over a man nad Gao Wenbin, who was your mother’s first love but was stolen away by Gu Mingzhu. Despite her love for him, Gu Mingzhu ended up severing ties with your mother. For so reason, that man never ended up with Gu Mingzhu, and from then on, Gu Mingzhu and your mother beca sworn enemies. Even after your mother left the entertainnt industry, Gu Mingzhu never let her go and caused her countless big and small troubles over the years. All these were known to everyone in the entertainnt industry. But then, Gu Mingzhu got married and went abroad, temporarily ending their feud. Unexpectedly, after only two or three years, Gu Mingzhu got divorced and returned ho. Not long after her return, a scandal involving charity embezzlent ca to light. Gu Mingzhu had donated twenty million yuan under her personal na that had suddenly disappeared, only to reappear in your mother’s private account. This incident led to the establishnt of your mother’s guilt. Your father questioned it back then, but just when he was investigating, your mother suddenly confessed to the cri, turning it into an accepted fact that remains unchanged to this day.”
After hearing this, Xia Yangyang felt her heart growing colder. “Didn’t my father investigate this matter back then? He just let my mother confess, bearing all the bla?”
“Your father did investigate back then, but given the Gu Family’s power, what could he find? Moreover, your mother committed suicide at that ti, and your father was devastated. Even if he found out any hidden truth, what would be the point?”
Yangyang asked, “So why are you telling all this now?”
“You and Ah Chen are secretly married, and moreover, most of the incidents involving Gu Mingzhu happened abroad. We never really dwelled on it. All past events are in the past. The incidents back then can no longer be investigated, so it might have been a coincidence or unrelated to Gu Mingzhu. Since we have beco families by marriage and your father has decided not to pursue these past matters for fear that it might create discord between you and Ah Chen.” Yangyang furrowed her brows, “But you still found a way to let know.”
