Chapter 205: Two hundred and five She was so eager to see her daughter!_1

Gu Chen’s house had inquired about the events of that year.

Uncle Guang pursed his lips, visibly hesitating. Gu Chen was the young miss’s husband, and she had fled because her family had forced her into marriage with extreme methods.

What could he say?

Gu Chen was now the young miss’s husband. If he found out, wouldn’t he hate the Ji Family?

Wouldn’t he hate Mr. Ji?

Swallowing hard, Uncle Guang patiently said to Gu Chen, "Let’s go see the young miss first. This is the Ji Family’s private matter. As you know, I’m just a worker; I don’t have the right to gossip about the master’s domestic affairs."

This man, every time he likes to play the worker card.

Always pretending he can’t make decisions, acting pitiable and selling a sad story, but in reality, his mind is calculating so loudly, like thunder striking, more than anyone else.

But what he said was true, nonetheless.

After all, Wu Shuhui was there, and since she hadn’t spoken up, Uncle Guang naturally dared not to.

A look of helplessness came over Gu Chen’s face, "If you’re not going to say anything, then let’s forget it and go back."

He was about to leave after saying that.

To be honest, without knowing what exactly had happened within their family.

Gu Chen didn’t dare to suddenly take Ji Pianran’s mother to see her.

Ji Pianran was not an unreasonable person; there must have been a significant reason for her to leave, and the reason was no small matter.

Gu Chen was very clear about that in his heart.

Since marrying him, Ji Pianran had taken care of the entire house. Although life was tough, she still did her best to take care of the family properly. How much heartache had she endured, and how much helplessness had she swallowed?

If she were a capricious person, she would have left long ago, but she didn’t. She had gritted her teeth and persevered until the end.

She really had endured too much.

Whatever it was that made her leave home, it must have been a significant matter.

Even though he was her husband, there were certain things he didn’t dare decide for her.

As the old saying goes, don’t preach goodness to others without understanding their suffering.

How could he rashly take them to see Ji Pianran without knowing what had happened?

Seeing that he was about to leave, Uncle Guang instinctively grabbed his arm, a pleading look in his eyes.

"Don’t go, how can this be okay? The lady has come all this way; at least let her take a look."

Gu Chen’s lips curled into a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

"As I said, I need to know the truth. Why did my wife leave her own family? What reason could have made her give up even her home?"

To abandon the parents who raised her for nearly two decades and choose a life far from home, even if it meant begging.

To take such a step was not easy; what kind of determination must she have had?

"This..." Uncle Guang’s face became as ugly as it could be.

Seeing the two of them delaying, Wu Shuhui, anxious to find her daughter, hurried over.

Her face tense with concern, she looked at Gu Chen, "Mr. Gu, what’s happening?"

Gu Chen’s face still carried a smile, "I want to know the real reason Pianran left home back then."

Why did his wife leave?

If he didn’t get to the bottom of this first, taking Wu Shuhui and Uncle Guang back rashly could provoke Ji Pianran’s displeasure. Who would bear the responsibility then?

Since ancient times, parents’ love for their children is undeniable, but people are different, and the ways of loving are also different.

Too many parents inflict harm under the guise of love.

He didn’t know if Ji Pianran’s parents were the same.

Unclear about everything, that’s why he must find out the full story.

Gu Chen was smiling and his tone was polite, but his eyes were very serious.

This seriousness made Wu Shuhui somewhat uneasy.

Seeing her hesitation, Gu Chen wasn’t in a hurry, "Don’t worry, if you don’t want to talk, then wait. Whenever you’re ready to talk, come back then."

Even if she was her daughter, but now that she had married him, he had to be responsible for her.

In this world, as long as Gu Chen was alive for one day, no one could trouble Ji Pianran.

Even her own parents.

Gu Chen’s statement genuinely frightened the two of them.

In the brief conversation just now, Uncle Guang had already figured out that his daughter-in-law was very likely their own miss. It was impossible for there to be two people in this world with the same name who also looked incredibly alike.

It simply couldn’t be.

He looked uneasily at Wu Shuhui.

"Madam..."

Swallowing hard, Wu Shuhui’s face couldn’t have looked worse, "Alright, I’ll tell you myself."

She laid out the whole story of what happened without holding anything back.

By the end, she couldn’t help but start to choke up.

To be honest, she was also in pain. If she had known then what the outcome would be, she would never have agreed to let Ji Guangsheng press their daughter like that.

She was flesh of her own flesh.

"Now, this is the situation with the Ji Family. Her father’s health is declining day by day, and if she doesn’t return, whether she will even get to see him again is another matter altogether."

At this point, her eyes reddened again.

As Pianran’s mother, she felt both guilty and heartbroken.

Throughout the whole process, Gu Chen’s expression grew more and more solemn, and by the end, it was as if a huge stone lay on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

He took a deep breath, rubbed his forehead, and tried to calm himself down.

In his past life, Ji Pianran was forced by her parents into a marriage, and out of desperation, she left home.

As a result, she married him, and he neglected her for three years, ignored her for three years, until she ran away from home.

He didn’t even know, in the end, whether Ji Pianran returned home to treat her illness and passed away peacefully there, or if she died outside.

Such an ending was truly too tragic.

Destiny had completely forsaken this resilient girl.

Gu Chen’s heart ached fiercely.

Why did all misfortunes seem to target her?

Wu Shuhui’s voice trembled.

"I know Pianran is married to you now. It seems you treat her very well, but she is still my child after all. I can’t help but worry...even if you just let me have a distant glance at her, just one look..."

This man, being able to twist his way to the truth, proved that he truly cared about his daughter.

If Pianran had found someone who loved and cherished her, that too would be a good thing.

Gu Chen was now in a state of chaos.

He didn’t know if Ji Pianran had forgiven her parents.

Uncle Guang wore a serious expression.

"For so many years, the madam has looked in numerous places to find the miss, but has never succeeded. If Mr. Ji hadn’t been desperately searching for the miss, the Xu Family would never have had the chance to strike, and the Ji Family’s business would not have plummeted so drastically."

"Now Mr. Ji’s health deteriorates by the day. If the miss truly can’t see her own father once more in his lifetime, I’m afraid she’ll regret it later!"

His tone was sincere yet helpless.

Gu Chen shook his head and sighed.

He knew Uncle Guang was right, and Ji Guangsheng must have been in the hospital for quite some time already.

He hesitated. If it was really like that, would Pianran hate him?

Although he highly respected Ji Pianran, after all, he was not her, and he couldn’t make this decision for her.

Even though her parents had once hurt her, the thought of a child willing to nurture but parents not being there, would be unbearably painful for Ji Pianran.

She was not such a heartless person.

He thought it over, "Let’s do as I said, you shall only take a distant look, and I’ll find an opportunity to talk to her about the rest."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Shuhui agreed immediately.

For her, being able to see if it was her daughter would be sufficient for now.

The trio set off towards Gu Chen’s house.
