Having spoken up until here, Ji Chen gave a small sigh. “Actually, she’s quite a genius. After she ran away, everyone in the village went to ask her sister-in-law about it, and they found out that she had always baited her sister-in-law — she had told her sister-in-law that being in middle school meant that she was going to be the only one who went to middle school in their village and that her dowry in the future would surely be worth a lot! After finis.h.i.+ng middle school, she told her sister-in-law once more that if she were to go to high school, that would be one step higher, and she wouldn’t even need to marry the village chief’s son anymore — there would be people from the town coming to ask for her hand! Her sister-in-law believed every word she said, and she essentially deceived her sister-in-law year after year. When she finished high school, she sat in the house quietly preparing, her demeanor bashful. Who would have thought that she had always been waiting for a chance to escape? So, when she saw her chance, she grabbed it; she stole money and left!”

At this point in time, there was an air of regret.

In awe at Li Yufeng’s scheming mind since her youth, Zhuang Nainai couldn’t help but ask, “Then, what happened to her after that?”

Ji Chen replied, “Madam, don’t be anxious. Let me tell you about her bit by bit. I promise that I’ll tell you all about Li Yufeng’s past clearly!”

“Quick, continue.”

“Li Yufeng, having run away from her village, came immediately to the big city of Beijing. She studied in the university and worked at the same time, and she had a determined, ruthless air about her. She knew how hard it was for her to have an education, so she was consistently working hard all the way until her third year in university. By that point in time, the workload at school began to become lighter, and she went to work at the Gu Corporation as a full-time intern. She was then spotted by Gu Deshou and immediately became his secretary. Apparently, Gu Deshou had a girlfriend at the time, but n.o.body really knew what her name was. Anyway, they never got married, and there was something about that girlfriend not being able to give birth. They had been together for some time, but they never had any children. Later on, when Gu Deshou got to meet Li Yufeng, Li Yufeng got pregnant, and Gu Deshou’s girlfriend stole the child and disappeared in a fit of anger. Gu Deshou owed Li Yufeng in this sense, and so he married her. Afterward, the two of them got along well, and she followed Gu Deshou in whatever he did. They then slowly developed the Gu Corporation into the sizeable scale we know it to be now.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Nainai raised her brows.

They had gotten a private investigator to check up on Li Yufeng, but they were somehow unable to find out about the girlfriend that Gu Deshou had in the past?

But even if they didn’t tell her, she was sure that the person with Gu Deshou had been Mother Zhuang!

And so…

Mother Zhuang hadn’t been the third party; Li Yufeng had been the third party who had stuck her foot into their relations.h.i.+p!

At the thought of this, she suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction grow in her.

Even though all the evidence at the present pointed to Li Yufeng being her biological mother, she was still happy for Mother Zhuang that Mother Zhuang wasn’t a home-wrecker.

She knew it — she knew that her mother hadn’t done anything wrong.

The Mother Zhuang that she had always relied on since she was young surely wasn’t a bad person.

There must surely have been something going on in the background with regards to the child-stealing, but even that was out of the private investigator’s reach. After all, this was reality, and there was no such thing as having a Sherlock Homes or Detective Conan to decode the mystery for her. The truth of the matter, unfortunately, lay only in the hands of the people involved at that point in time.

In any case, all of these things that Ji Chen had found out was Li Yufeng’s big secret.

Without a shadow of a doubt, she was concealing even more secrets, but that was okay — they were going to dig them out one by one.
