Gu Yibo had listened to Song Zhen's explanation and had actually believed it completely.
Only...
With his daughter's current status, marrying into the Song Family was nearly impossible!
The rules of the elite circles are strict; Xinzhou, being an illegitimate daughter, would only make the whole Song Family a laughingstock if Song Zhen married her.
It could even negatively impact Fengyun Group.
Gu Yibo was familiar with old Mr. Song and knew his temperament well.
Old Mr. Song would definitely not accept Xinzhou!
His face was covered with a cloud of gloom, slightly dismal, "Song Zhen, I don't want you to be with Zhouzhou.
She already has psychological shadows, and I was worrying about how to find a psychologist to help her.
If she continues to be with you, she would face even greater psychological stress, and her mental issues could accumulate and worsen.
She's my only daughter, and I have no other wish but to hope she lives a safe and happy life."
Gu Yibo was truly emotional.
So much so that he let his guard down completely and inadvertently revealed a certain fact.
Song Zhen's eyes sparkled as he stared at Gu, his voice as smooth as a spring breeze, with an enticing undertone, "Just Zhouzhou as a daughter?"
Gu Yibo was stunned!
The room fell silent for two seconds!
Gu Yibo blinked rapidly, trying to appear calm as he stared at Song Zhen, "What? What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything!" Song Zhen spread his hands, his face innocent, with a slight smile, "It was you, Uncle Gu, who just said that you only have Zhouzhou as a daughter!"
Gu Yibo stood up, "How is that possible!"
Song Zhen noticed he was about to leave and also quickly stood up.
His tall figure swiftly moved in front of him, his arms half-extended; a series of movements flowed elegantly, blocking Gu Yibo's path.
Gu Yibo frowned, looking at the fox-like smile on Song Zhen's face, and felt a vague tingling in his scalp.
He frowned, sighed, "Ah!"
He turned toward the couch, very annoyed!
Song Zhen approached, "Uncle Gu, I love Zhouzhou. I love her just as you do.
Actually, having known you for so many years, I am clear about your character.
I'm just curious, why, with your great wealth and status, do you and your legal wife only have Xinfei as a daughter?
In China, heritage is emphasized, especially the male lineage.
Why didn't you have more sons?
Besides, I've never seen you womanizing all these years; you're completely focused on your business.
To say you had an affair, I really wouldn't believe it."
Song Zhen was really curious.
And he had been curious for many years.
He initially thought that Gu Yibo had an affair, which led to a rift in the marriage, and that's why they didn't have more children.
But this reasoning didn't quite make sense.
Because Song Zhen could see that Zhuang Xiuya had always been trying to maintain her marriage and family.
Gu Yibo sat back on the couch, his face stern.
Memories flickered past like smoke.
There were many things he truly didn't want to bring up.
But he had never calculated that Zhuang Xiuya would mistreat his only daughter so much.
"Perhaps, taking Zhuang Xiuya in at the beginning was a mistake."
Gu Yibo closed his eyes, engulfed in immense self-blame and regret.
"Hmm," Song Zhen responded, pressing, "And then?"
Gu Yibo suddenly opened his eyes, glaring at him, "And then what! Why should I tell you!"
Song Zhen smiled obediently, "I am your son-in-law, half a son!
Moreover, Zhouzhou is now suffering greatly in life and psyche because of being an illegitimate daughter.
Don't you feel her pain?"
