Xiong Yao: ???

...

In the hospital ward.

After Quan Jin finished the call with Yi Shu, he fell into an extremely distressed state.

Normally, he didn’t think he was stupid, he even considered himself the smartest in the world.

In his view, nothing around him could escape his eyes.

Who knew there would be a day when he’d make a fool of himself over this matter.

He thought, why didn’t he just die of stupidity?!

Both had the surname Gu, he just didn’t think to connect them as one person. If he’d been a little curious back then, things wouldn’t be like this now.

He wouldn’t have become the bothersome ex-husband.

After the amnesia.

Screwed up life solely relying on mess-ups, ending up living alone...

After finishing the call with Yi Shu, Quan Jin dialed another number.

The things he had arranged, he usually just waited for the results and rarely pushed personally.

But this matter, he had started arranging an investigation a few days ago, and still, there was no result.

Quan Jin felt a bit restless.

After the call was answered on the other side, Quan Jin asked with an annoyed tone, "How is the investigation into my car accident going?"

...

Gu Mansion.

Suisui kept fussing and clamoring to find her mom. As soon as Gu Yuan returned, she stopped fussing, holding Gu Yuan’s hand and asking continuously:

"Where did mom go?"

"Mom said she’s not working today, oh, she’ll be with Suisui~"

"Mom even pinky promised, saying she’s not lying~"

This wasn’t just questioning, it was complaining.

Sheng Yi leaned in with his head: "Yuanyuan, I see how well-behaved Suisui is, stops fussing as soon as you return."

Gu Yuan: "It’s my fault for not telling Suisui before going out, left in a bit of a rush."

Indeed, it was rushed.

As soon as she heard it was something related to Chi Yu, and it was something serious, she got anxious and worried, losing her composure.

Sheng Yi sensed something more: "Yuanyuan, by the way, you didn’t suddenly go out for the company, right? Is there something important that needs your personal attention?"

Gu Yuan: "Yes."

Sheng Yi: "Hmm?"

Gu Yuan looked at Sheng Yi, and said, "Suisui’s father."

Sheng Yi nodded: "Oh, it’s Suisui’s dad... huh???"

This news was too sudden for Sheng Yi to immediately digest. After a brief moment of realization, Sheng Yi asked in shock, "Are you saying, that scumbag who abandoned you?"

"...Yes."

Sheng Yi’s voice heightened a tone: "That scumbag has actually come back again!"

The word ’again’ didn’t seem funny, rather a bit bittersweet.

As expected from an actress of her caliber, Sheng Yi, despite being shocked, quickly maintained her composure: "Yuanyuan, you know, I have always despised scumbags. In my view, you’re doing this for Suisui, but if you ask me, you shouldn’t give him another chance!"

Gu Yuan smiled with her lips pressed together.

"Ah, what are you laughing at, Yuanyuan, you need to listen to me, don’t easily forgive a scumbag."

It was obvious that Sheng Yi had a significant grudge against Chi Yu.

Sheng Yi had previously advised Gu Yuan not to waste her precious years on a lousy man, and that a successful woman should enjoy a life surrounded by admirers.

Upon hearing that scumbag was back again, Sheng Yi moved her chair closer to Gu Yuan and continued, "Besides being a bit good-looking and a smooth talker, a scumbag has nothing else going for him."

Gu Yuan smiled and asked, "Do you have any better suggestions?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Yes! Of course, I do!"

Sheng Yi quickly said, "I’ve taken part in an outdoor reality show, where every guest needs to bring their mom or dad, or a sibling, or a best friend. My parents are super busy, and I’m an only child. I secretly checked Dao An for your schedule before accepting it. It’s recording in a month, and I’ve inquired about the male guest list for that episode, tsk tsk tsk, they’re drool-worthy..."
