"But by then, over ten minutes had passed since you fell into the water. I sent many people to look for you, but they couldn't find you. I wanted to divorce Chen Yuning, but my older brother wouldn't let me. At that time, the entire Xi Family was under his control, and I was powerless. I had no choice but to obey him. If our family has ended up like this, it's all because of my brother."
Xi Pinglian said, his eyes moistening.
Looking at Gu Xiao, he spoke as if comforting yet excited, "I'm just glad you're alive and well now. Otherwise, I would have lived a lifetime of guilt and self-reproach."
Qin Youbei: "..."
Does Gu Xiao's well-being absolve him of responsibility?
No longer feeling guilty.
For some reason, she just didn't like Xi Pinglian.
She had just been relieved that Chen Yuning was not Gu Xiao's mother, and now Xi Pinglian turns out to be Gu Xiao's father.
Gu Xiao pursed his lips and cast Xi Pinglian a faint glance.
A stark contrast to his enthusiasm.
