Chapter 740: Chapter 741: About That Year
Di Zhengtian glanced at the woman before him. Had he not been childless and bewitched by Chen Peifang’s seductive tricks, he might not have taken her and her son back to the Di Family home.
Back then, Chen Peifang was jealous of Tang Yuyan’s status and thus wanted to hitch her wagon to a star.
At that time, she was merely a beverage server in a club, and because she was eager to climb the social ladder by attaching herself to a powerful man, she found an opportunity to drug Di Zhengtian’s drink.
Unexpectedly, that was the time she became pregnant.
Afterward, she tried several times to get close to Di Zhengtian but was continually oppressed by Di Zhengtian’s wife, who learned of her intentions, almost driving her to flee to a foreign land after she became pregnant with Di Zhengtian’s child.
Desperately, through a fortunate coincidence, she met Tang Yuyan again.
At that time, Tang Yuyan was kind-hearted and was unaware that her departure was a conspiracy by Chen Peifang and Chen Lan; subsequently, she took her back to the Gu Family.
When Chen Peifang learned that Tang Yuyan, who had left Nangong Mingchuan, was to become the wife of Gu Group’s CEO, she once again felt jealousy surge. Being newly pregnant, she had to find a scapegoat; thus, on the night of their mock marriage, she ended up together with Gu Zhendong.
Firstly, she did not want Tang Yuyan to become Gu Zhendong’s wife, and secondly, she herself wanted to be the CEO’s wife. By achieving this, both she and her unborn child would have a secure future.
What she hadn’t anticipated was that even after telling Gu Zhendong about Tang Yuyan’s pregnancy, Gu Zhendong still never divorced her.
Thus, even though she had slept with Gu Zhendong and bore his ‘son,’ she never achieved the status of his official wife, not until Tang Yuyan disappeared. Only then was she taken into the Gu Family by Gu Zhendong.
Later, the reason Gu Shijie dared to oppose Gu Qiangwei was not because he knew her real identity but because he knew that he was not Gu Zhendong’s biological son! Thus, there was no blood relation between him and Gu Qiangwei.
“You need to be careful. Although I am releasing you due to insufficient evidence now, Tang Yuyan will eventually gather enough evidence to convict you!”
At this time, Di Zhengtian was only 48 years old. With his status, he could have found another young woman after his wife’s death, but he chose to be with Chen Peifang only because he knew that Gu Shijie was his son, and he planned to marry her for the second time.
“Husband, everything I did back then was for our son. You are now a bureau chief; isn’t convicting someone simply a matter of your word?”
Di Zhengtian gave her a glance, “But don’t forget the Nangong Family’s standing.”
“Even if the Nangong Family has a strong position, Nangong He has already retired. As for Nangong Mingchuan, he’s a businessman—are you still afraid of him?”
“Woman, you know nothing!”
Although Nangong He had retired, his influence and connections were not to be underestimated. One slight misstep could cost him his position as bureau chief.
A series of knocking sounds interrupted their conversation.
Soon after, the assistant pushed the door open.
“Director, Mrs. Nangong would like to see you.”
Upon hearing this, both Di Zhengtian and Chen Peifang’s expressions changed.
A few seconds later, Di Zhengtian quickly signaled Chen Peifang with his eyes, motioning her to quickly go to the resting room.
Catching his glance, Chen Peifang hid in the resting room a second before Tang Yuyan entered.
“Hehe, Mrs. Nangong’s visit must be about yesterday’s incident, right?”
