Qiao Yu shook her head at Gu Shiyan, assuring him she hadn't suffered any loss.
Long ago, Tao Jing was like a thorn that was impossible to ignore.
For Qiao Yu, she was a painful reminder, leaving her feeling stifled and often wronged.
Tao Jing, discontent with her own life, didn't want Gu Shiyan to be happy either. She often used their two children to stir up marital discord between Qiao Yu and Gu Shiyan, making life at the Gu residence chaotic.
At first, Qiao Yu was deeply affected by her, nearly on the verge of divorcing Gu Shiyan.
But when Gu Xianian was born, the couple's hearts aligned, and together they opposed Tao Jing, gradually bringing peace to their lives.
When Tao Jing eventually went abroad, tranquility returned to their household.
Gu Shiyan had no idea Tao Jing had returned; otherwise, he would have prepared for her arrival immediately.
A momentary lapse in vigilance allowed Tao Jing to exploit the situation.
