Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Being Cuckolded Before the Marriage!
‘Bang!’ The sound of shattering glass erupted.
“What are you doing!?” A furious shout came from a room on the second floor.
Facing Gu Zhendong’s wrath, Chen Peifang was indifferent; instead, her face burned with jealousy, “It’s been twelve years, why on earth are you still keeping her photo!? Are you still hung up on her!?”
“You!” Caught off guard by her question, Gu Zhendong was momentarily speechless, before finally saying, “This album was just collecting dust in a box, I’d even forgotten about it myself!”
“Hmph, do you think I’d believe that? You must still be thinking about that cheap woman!”
“Can’t you speak without being so vulgar?”
“Vulgar? Why don’t you think about the fact that she had an affair with another man before marrying you? And she brought along a bastard child. If it weren’t for me, you’d still be in the dark! You were cuckolded even before the marriage, and you hadn’t even realized it!”
The old, buried incident was dredged up again, turning Gu Zhendong’s complexion ugly.
Back then, it was he who had pursued Qiangwei’s mother, and finally won her consent to marry him, only to discover on their wedding night that she was already two months pregnant. And prior to that, he had never been intimate with her.
Despite this, he couldn’t bring himself to discard her like an old shoe, yet he couldn’t pretend as if nothing had happened either.
So, on the wedding night, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol, which led to his encounter with Chen Peifang.
Perhaps truly bothered by the situation, he had almost never touched Qiangwei’s mother after their marriage, instead treating her coldly and often not coming home at night.
Later, his frequent liaisons with Chen Peifang came to light when Qiangwei’s mother discovered their relationship, leading her to believe that his coldness toward her was due to another woman.
Of course, he never confronted Qiangwei’s mother directly about discovering her pregnancy, and the two of them continued to live together indifferently for ten years.
Actually, he didn’t subscribe to the idea of valuing sons over daughters. The reason he had not paid much attention to his daughter Qiangwei was all because of the hurdle in his heart that he couldn’t get over for more than twenty years.
No man could tolerate his beloved being intimate with another, carrying another man’s child.
He had also thought about burying the hatchet and treating mother and daughter well, but every time he remembered her being with another man, he felt particularly awful inside.
Annoyingly, twelve years ago, she disappeared without a trace, and no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find her.
Later, he learned from Chen Peifang that she had gone back to that man.
But this matter was never verified, and he didn’t know who that man was.
“Let’s not bring up ancient history!”
Picking up a broken photo from the floor, Gu Zhendong collected it and turned to leave the room.
Lately, he had been exceptionally irritable.
He couldn’t figure out what was going on, but problems kept cropping up at the company.
However, just as he walked downstairs, he suddenly felt the world spin, and his vision became extremely blurry.
As the servant opened the door, Gu Qiangwei and Qin Sijue walked through the gate and into the living room.
Before she had time to look around the home she hadn’t returned to for so long, a sudden noise came from the stairs.
Seeing Gu Zhendong suddenly rolling down the stairs, the servant rushed over in alarm!
Gu Qiangwei stood rooted to the spot, momentarily unable to recover her senses.
“Sir, what happened to you!?”
