After taking Lingyue back to the Gu Family, Gu Junzhu had someone investigate Lingyue's family background.
Lingyue's father, named Ling Fangzhou, was a national research scientist.
Both Ling Fangzhou and Lingyue's mother were college classmates, deeply in love, and soon got married after they graduated. They had a quiet and happy life as a married couple.
Unfortunately, that happiness didn't last long. Shortly after Lingyue was born, her mother died unexpectedly.
When Lingyue was one year old, Ling Fangzhou married Xie Wennan, who had secretly loved him for many years.
Xie Wennan's father, named Xie Yanbo, was Ling Fangzhou's mentor in graduate school. Xie Yanbo admired Ling Fangzhou greatly and treated him like his own son.
After Lingyue's mother died, Ling Fangzhou, being busy with work, left Lingyue in the care of her maternal grandmother.
