Chen Yue's father was a playboy. After marrying Chen Yue's mother, who was of equal status, he had countless lovers outside and had countless illegitimate children.
Later on, he even brought some of them home. Chen Yue's mother was a coward. She only knew how to cry in the room and could not stop this from happening.
Hence, Chen Yue had grown up in scheming. She knew that she had to fight for what she wanted and trample those illegitimate children under her feet.
Over the years, she had been arrogant and despotic in the Chen family. She almost jumped up and scolded Old Master Gu back for calling her thick-skinned.
However, when she thought of her intentions, she suppressed her anger and forced a smile. "I was too worried at that time. Uncle Xiao watched me grow up and suddenly fell seriously ill, so I listened to that mage. I'll apologize to Sister Gu Teng now."
