Chapter 822: Chapter 822: She Was Too Beautiful, I Couldn’t Resist
Gu Guotai said wearily, “Fine, you go back and reflect on yourself, and stop causing trouble all day long! Chengqiao, you co with to the study.”
But Hou Jinhua stood her ground, refusing to leave. She still wanted to take Gu Jing back ho with her. If she left him with Gu Guotai, who knew how many beatings her son would endure and how much grief he would suffer.
She deeply regretted it and wished she had co alone yesterday. If it weren’t for her insistence that her son accompany her, he wouldn’t have been detained by Gu Guotai to suffer hardship.
Seeing that she wasn’t moving, Gu Chengqiao didn’t bother with her and, heavy-hearted, followed Gu Guotai upstairs.
Once they were in the study, he heard Gu Guotai ask with a tired voice, “So, what else have you been hiding from ? When Shen Tang was with the Gu Family, didn’t you say you had nothing to do with her?”
Gu Chengqiao knew that after Qiao Yin’s grandmother caused a scene, there was no way he could avoid this matter any longer.
...
He originally thought that such an affair would be damaging to Shen Tang’s reputation, and so, regardless of her death, her mother wouldn’t expose it and certainly wouldn’t co to the Gu Family.
At the very least, Qiao Yin herself didn’t know about Shen Tang’s past with him, let alone the fact that she was actually his daughter. This showed that her grandmother had never ntioned it to her.
It was all Hou Jinhua’s fault. If she hadn’t ruined Qiao Yin’s face, the old lady would have had no reason to co to the Gu family ho, and she certainly wouldn’t have dug up the past, putting him in such a difficult position.
There’s a saying, ‘Choose a wise wife.’ Hou Jinhua, with her airs of an Eldest Miss and her temper, was not soone you could marry!
If it hadn’t been for the strength of the Hou Family, how could he have tolerated her all these years!
“Dad, I was actually… with Shen Tang for a while.”
Gu Guotai wasn’t surprised by the confession. Qiao Yin’s grandmother was so furious, she had even slapped Gu Chengqiao’s face, and he hadn’t uttered a word in response—clear evidence that he had indeed wronged them.

He was just deeply disappointed, “It seems you haven’t changed your ways at all. I thought after you got married and had children, you’d have reford, but it appears you’re still the sa. And Jing, all his bad habits, he probably learned from you.”
“No, Dad, I did change a lot after getting married, and I have taught Jing properly. I always maintained a positive image before him. He doesn’t know about my past indiscretions; he thinks that Jinhua and I have a good marriage. He grew up in what he perceives as a happy and warm family environnt.”
“Then, what about you and Shen Tang? At that ti, you were already married, and I had repeatedly warned you not to interfere with her. Why did you still get involved with her? With her personality, was Shen Tang willing to be your mistress?”
Gu Chengqiao spoke in a low voice, “She was unwilling, so at that ti, I lied to her, saying I was divorced. I promised to marry her, and that’s why she agreed to be with .”
“You—”
Gu Guotai pointed at him, so angry he could only say “You” before finding himself unable to speak again for a while.
No wonder Qiao Yin’s grandmother ca in such a fury today—to think Gu Chengqiao had deceived her daughter!
“Shen Tang must have told her mother everything about us, so the old lady knows everything. That’s why she was so impolite. Dad, I realize I was wrong, and I had already cut ties with her afterward. All these years, that was the only mistake I made. She was just too beautiful, and I couldn’t help myself at the ti, so…”
But Gu Guotai let out a cold laugh, “Just that one mistake? Then where did the child who passed away in the hospital a few days ago co from? Wasn’t that child born after you married Jinhua?”
“Dad, back then, wasn’t I desperate for a son? Jinhua couldn’t give one, and our first two were daughters. In my anxiety, I found another woman to try with. Dad, it wasn’t for , it was for the Gu Family, honestly!”
Gu Guotai, infuriated, banged the table which emitted a dull “bang”: “You idiot! Can an illegitimate child be treated the sa as one born in wedlock? If you can’t have a son, then wait and keep trying. Besides, even if you and Jinhua couldn’t have a son, isn’t there still Chengsong?!”
It was precisely because of Gu Chengsong that he was so eager to have a son!
