Mu Xiaoxiao was worried, afraid that she had brought up her sad past.

When she finally snapped out of it, she appeared to be on her guard as she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, “Do you know Gu Pingyuan? How are you related to him?”

Mu Xiaoxiao promptly explained, “I know him, but I only know him as an elder. I don’t have any other relations with him.”

Lu Qianlan’s expression looked complicated as she said, “Then, have you… found out about something?”

Mu Xiaoxiao pondered for a while. She then nodded honestly and said, “I’ll just tell you straight. My friend told me that he is… Yichen’s father. Is that true?”

When the truth was spoken, Lu Qianlan looked wretched as she sighed deeply.

“It is true,” she replied.

Upon confirming the answer that she had wanted to know, Mu Xiaoxiao became heavy-hearted. “Then, you and Uncle Gu are…”

Is it just as Yin Shaojie had said that Lu Yichen was Gu Pingyuan’s illegitimate child?

Afraid that Lu Qianlan would be mistaken in thinking that she was being looked down upon, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly explained, “It just seems to me that Auntie is not that kind of person. Is there something that is hard to talk about?”

“What kind of person?” Lu Qianlan asked uncomprehendingly.

“That is…” Mu Xiaoxiao found it hard to say it, the hands twiddling together as she did not know how to express herself.

Lu Qianlan suddenly understood.

She sneered as if she had heard something ridiculous, and she asked, “Is that how the people of Gu family speak about me?”

Hearing anger in her voice, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately speculated that it might not be the truth.

She nodded and said, “That’s what my friend said.”

“They have really gone too far!” Lu Qianlan suddenly shouted, her eyes welling up with tears. She wiped them away quickly before they trickled down her face.

Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she had done something wrong. She frantically took out tissues to pass it to her as she consoled her, “Auntie, stop crying. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked.”

Lu Qianlan shook her head. “No, it’s not your fault. I should thank you for letting me know about this.”

“Auntie…” Mu Xiaoxiao looked worryingly at her. Though she was curious about the truth, she did not dare to continue probing in light of the current situation.

Lu Qianlan calmed down. She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, “Do you want to know what the relationship between me and Gu Pingyuan is?”

Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, saying, “Auntie, if you don’t want to talk…”

“It’s okay. It’s not unspeakable. The ones who really don’t want others to know should be the Gu family,” Lu Qianlan said as she gazed peacefully out of the window.

“I am Gu Pingyuan’s legal wife. Ah, I should say that I’m his first wife since he and the mistress should have gotten married already.”

Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in amazement. “Then, then that means that… Auntie, you’re… Uncle Gu’s wife?”

Lu Qianlan was not Gu Pingyuan’s mistress that he had kept outside but his wife!

After hearing Lu Qianlan’s explanation, Mu Xiaoxiao finally understood the whole matter.

As it turned out, Lu Qianlan was already married to Gu Pingyuan. However, at that time, Gu Pingyuan was fighting for the power within the Gu family with others. Lu Qianlan was not helpful to his attempt to gain power, but another woman, who had colluded with Gu Pingyuan, could help him. She had even come up with a scheme to drive Lu Qianlan, who had been pregnant, out of the Gu family.

Not only that, the woman was very malicious. She had even ruined Lu Qianlan’s family, resulting in the family’s hatred toward her, forcing her to sever her relationships with them.
