The reliance Gu Moyan once had on Tao Jing has now turned into hatred of equal intensity.
He despises Tao Jing for using him to harm Qiao Yu.
She knew full well the humiliation Gu Moyan would face when the truth surfaced, yet she went ahead without hesitation.
Such callous treatment of her own child—she is utterly unworthy of being a mother.
Gu Qinnian wanted to say something, but after much deliberation, he realized that no words could suffice. Instead, he abruptly changed the subject: "Let's not dwell on unpleasant matters. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Shall we go home for a reunion dinner together?"
Before coming, Gu Qinnian had steeled himself for a battle of persuasion should Gu Moyan refuse. He had prepared to pester, plead, and wear him down until he agreed.
To his astonishment, Gu Moyan immediately replied, "I know. I'll go."
Gu Qinnian was taken aback, doubting his own ears. "You agreed?" he asked for confirmation.
