Chapter 1186: Future Father-in-law Comes to Visit

Mengyu arranged for Le Shan and Le Shui to tidy up and rent out the other two courtyards she bought today.

As for the courtyard of Qin Chaowen, she decided to leave it for now. When she finishes her business in the Capital City, she will return to Xiangyang County to deal with it.

After Gu Dongxing left, Mengyu wanted to go find Nan Xiao. She had a feeling that Nan Xiao would soon return to the Immortal Sect, and she didn’t know how long it would be before she could see this father who always put her first.

Just as she was about to leave, someone came to the door.

The visitor was Gu Dongxing’s father, Gu Ming.

Faced with the future father-in-law at her door, Mengyu felt a bit strange: "Uncle Gu, Dongxing went on a mission. Didn’t he call and tell you?"

Gu Ming looked a bit awkward: "Uh, I know about Dongxing’s mission. I’m not here for Dongxing; I’m here for— I’m here to see my daughter Minxing."

Looking for daughter Minxing? Mengyu glanced at the somewhat uncomfortable Gu Ming and understood: he wanted to find Hai Xue.

Mengyu had a bit of disdain for him. Clearly, the person he loved in his heart was Hai Xue, but he still followed the clan elders’ arrangement and divorced Hai Xue.

Even if he couldn’t stop his wife from being expelled from the army, at the very least, he could protect her from being bullied. But instead, when he was away on duty and his wife was forced away by the clan elders, he didn’t try to bring her back but indulged in drinking, giving Yang Meiyin a chance to take advantage and ultimately used her pregnancy to ascend successfully.

Hai Xue waited for him for twenty years, and he showed no affection. Now, seeing Hai Xue has moved on from him, he’s become anxious and rushed to find her.

"Uncle Gu, I suggest if you can’t give Aunt Hai an explanation, it’s best not to stir up trouble for her again. She’s worked hard to move on from her feelings; you wouldn’t want her to return to how she was before, right? Honestly, she waited for you for twenty years, and even I think it wasn’t worth it for her."

Gu Ming’s face turned a bit red: "You’re right. I should give Xuexue an explanation. I’ve officially divorced Yang Meiyin; I’m here to seek her forgiveness and ask for your help—I hope to start anew with her."

Mengyu was stunned: "You divorced Yang Meiyin? How did she agree to the divorce?" Based on her understanding of Yang Meiyin, someone so vain wouldn’t be willing to give up the honor of being the Commander’s wife.

"She—she deserves it!"

Gu Ming knew that his current daughter-in-law had a voice in front of his ex-wife, and if she didn’t agree, it was likely that Hai Xue, who had already let go of her feelings, wouldn’t accept his plea for reconciliation.

So he revealed that his younger son, Gu Chen, was not his biological child.

Mengyu was dumbfounded; this Yang Meiyin was absurd, wasn’t she? She already had a son with Gu Ming, yet to solidify her position, schemed again, achieving a son, and then went overboard by finding a man to borrow the seed and give birth to another son!

Mengyu couldn’t help but worry about Yang Meiyin: Is she clever, or is she foolish? Doesn’t she realize that giving birth to a child not belonging to the Gu Family’s lineage means her days in the Gu Family would be numbered once it’s exposed?

The Gu Family had opinions? She suddenly thought of the two aunties from the Gu Family—were they the ones who only acknowledged Hai Xue and not Yang Meiyin as their sister-in-law?

Although Mengyu was somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Ming, since he divorced and if he could reconcile with Hai Xue, it would be a good thing.

Besides, the man was actually quite pitiable.
