Chapter 929: Nine hundred and twenty-four, you are the one for a rightful marriage.

Seeing her so exhausted,

Gu Zhen’s heart was filled with even more self-reproach.

Perhaps if he hadn’t partnered with Old Zhang to establish Ping’an Real Estate,

their family of three would have had a tougher life, but at the very least, their home wouldn’t have fallen apart.

But now the situation was completely different.

Their home now seemed no different from one that had already fallen apart.

He didn’t know what to say about the current state of things.

Yet in his heart, he couldn’t help but feel a trace of guilt.

He knew this matter was inseparably linked to him.

If it weren’t for him, perhaps things would not have turned out this way.

With things having come to this point, he also knew he couldn’t just hide.

So no matter what the situation was, he had to go out.

He had to offer an explanation to them.

Otherwise, what kind of person would he become?

At that moment, he stepped out directly.

And just like that, he walked step by step towards the store.

As he walked, Gu Zhen pondered countless possibilities.

He did not know what price he would ultimately have to pay in the end.

But he was painfully aware that the cost would be extremely severe.

At that time, his heart was somewhat heavy.

After he entered the store,

the only sales clerk there immediately came up to him.

"Good day, sir. May I ask what you would like to see?"

He politely inquired of Gu Zhen.

However, Gu Zhen’s gaze wasn’t on him at all, so he simply ignored the clerk.

Right then, Gu Zhen’s eyes were fixed on what was ahead of him.

And the sister-in-law sitting behind the counter

also saw Gu Zhen at that time.

When she saw Gu Zhen, she was obviously startled for a moment.

It was as if she hadn’t expected Gu Zhen to appear there.

However, at that moment, her gaze towards Gu Zhen was not so friendly.

Gu Zhen understood what the reason was.

"Sister-in-law, let’s talk," he said.

Even so, Gu Zhen was still doing his best to remain polite.

He knew that they had to talk things through.

Otherwise, no matter what, it would be a case of shirking his responsibility.

After listening to him, although she seemed reluctant to talk with Gu Zhen,

ultimately, it seemed like she felt it wouldn’t be right not to talk.

"Let’s talk outside then," she said directly to Gu Zhen.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhen nodded his head.

And then the two of them casually made their way onto the street.

Once on the street, Ping’an frankly stated,

"Sister-in-law, I didn’t understand the matter before.

I’m responsible for this, and it has a lot to do with me," he admitted,

not shirking responsibility and recognizing it candidly.

However, at that moment, his words could not change the current situation.

Because his family had already crumbled to pieces.

So now, no matter what was said, it was useless.

Gu Zhen also knew that the things he had done couldn’t be changed.

"I’ve come to understand Old Zhang’s situation today.

In this world, everything can change, without exception."

As he said this, his eyes seemed to betray a hint of despair.

He didn’t know what was wrong with him at that time.

It was as if he had become completely disillusioned with everything.

Gu Zhen didn’t know how to comfort him; there were many things he wasn’t even sure how to start discussing.

The events that had unfolded were, naturally, a great blow to him.

"I won’t say things like ’Sister-in-law, Old Zhang was just confused for a moment.’

His situation today is indeed because he has not been through trials.

Before this happened, I didn’t just let him be. I talked to him about these matters before, but his ideas were somewhat different from mine,"

said Gu Zhen with a sense of helplessness, knowing that no matter how you looked at the situation,

he had been somewhat at a loss.

Therefore, he didn’t want to make too many meaningless explanations at that time.

At that moment, the sister-in-law immediately turned her gaze towards him.

"President Gu, do you think it makes any sense to say these things now? He has changed his affections."

That’s how she spoke at that time.

From any perspective, such an event happening now...

meant that no matter what, the situation could not change the fact.

"Sister-in-law, whatever I can compensate you with, I will do my best.

It is not easy for you to look after a child alone. How about this, you name a figure."

Gu Zhen was very sincere when he said this to her.

However, after Gu Zhen finished saying this, her expression immediately changed.

"Do you think what I care about is the money?"

She looked straight at Gu Zhen.

It felt like she was scrutinizing him.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhen immediately shook his head.

"I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to say that it’s really not easy for you, taking care of a child is a lot of work.

Whatever you want now, you deserve it."

Gu Zhen knew he had clearly misunderstood his intentions.

So, at that time, he continued to explain himself to her.

But after Gu Zhen said these words, the situation didn’t turn any better.

She still stared at him intently,

as if she was looking at her enemy.

At this point, it seemed she also did not want to argue with Gu Zhen over this matter anymore.

"Forget it, it’s come to this; whatever happens, I accept it,"

she said directly at that time.

It felt as if she had already given up on everything.

Gu Zhen paused upon hearing this, stopping the words he wanted to say.

He felt that no matter what he said,

he couldn’t excuse Old Zhang’s actions.

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong about this matter, and so was Old Zhang,"

Gu Zhen also said directly at that time.

Unfortunately, no matter what was said, whether it was wrong or not, it was now pointless.

"I will certainly talk seriously with Old Zhang later on,

I can assure you that he will regret his current decisions one day."

Gu Zhen also spoke with conviction at that time.

He understood that Old Zhang had really been blinded by beauty.

However, in reality, beauty was truly worthless,

at least that was how Gu Zhen saw it.

"I’m just a plain-faced old thing. It’s normal to be abandoned. I simply don’t understand why he would forget his own son like this."

At that moment, her face still showed some bewilderment.

In her opinion, the once honest Old Zhang turning out like this

was an overwhelming blow to her.

"You are his legal wife, no one can replace you,"

Gu Zhen said directly to her at that time.
