Chapter 321: Slapping the Scumbag Dad Online
Jiang Qinian stood at the door, his eyes fixed on the Gu family's gate, waiting for General Gu to appear.
When he finally saw the once majestic General Gu walking out of the mansion, a smile immediately broke out on his face, but this smile was quickly replaced by seriousness.
Jiang Qinian walked forward gently and respectfully gave General Gu a standard salute, his voice low and firm: "My son-in-law, I meet my father-in-law."
For a moment, his eyes seemed to reveal a deep respect and guilt.
However, General Gu did not respond to his greeting. Instead, he looked at Jiang Qinian indifferently and said in a cold tone: "My daughter is dead, and you are no longer my son-in-law."
These words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Jiang Qinian's heart, causing him to feel a sharp pain.
Jiang Qinian's face turned pale in an instant. He lowered his head silently, with pain and regret flashing in his eyes.
He knew very well that he had an unshirkable responsibility for his ex-wife's death. In other words, if it weren't for him, his ex-wife might not have died so tragically.
However, despite the facts, he could not admit it - even at the last moment of his life, he could never admit that any plan or action related to the death of Gu Zhiyu had anything to do with him.
This inner struggle and contradiction tortured him, but he was helpless.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Qinian slowly raised his head and stared at General Gu again. His voice was choked with sobs. He was not pretending. After having had countless women for many years after Gu Zhiyu's death, he realized what a good woman Gu Zhiyu was. But he could no longer...
"Father-in-law, I know that the mistake I made is irreversible, but please believe that I will spend the rest of my life to make up for it. I am willing to take all responsibility and hope to get your forgiveness."
After he said these extremely disgusting words, he bowed deeply to show his sincerity and determination.
In fact, the reason why he said this today, there is an ulterior motive behind it - that is to win Gu Yebei's favor!
If you cannot gain the favor of this key person, then being able to gain the appreciation of the bystanders around you can also be considered a gain.
After all, as long as the Gu family could be put in an embarrassing situation, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to that evil woman Jiang Yimo, and this was exactly the result he expected to see!
"No need, you should take care of yourself first. I have a son, grandson, and granddaughter by my side. Why do I need to rely on a son-in-law like you to show my filial piety?"
"Humph! If you have any sense, you should get away from me as soon as possible. The farther the better!"
General Gu showed no mercy to Jiang Qinian and spoke in an extremely stiff and cold tone.
His words were like a sharp sword, piercing Jiang Qinian's heart and making him lose face.
However, since Gu Yebei is still Jiang Qinian's father-in-law, Jiang Qinian naturally understands that he cannot argue with him in front of everyone, so as not to lose face.
So he decided to vent his anger on his eldest daughter Jiang Yimo.
"Father-in-law, please don't be fooled by this witch Jiang Yimo! She is no longer my eldest daughter Jiang Yimo, but a witch who appeared from nowhere!" Jiang Qinian said righteously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qinian was severely rebuked by Gu Yebei: "Jiang Qinian, you are simply a madman! As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but Yi Mo just said a few unpleasant words, and you actually said such vicious words, and even slandered her as a witch in front of everyone! Do you have to kill her before you will stop?"
Gu Yebei's words echoed in Jiang Qinian's ears like thunder, shocking him.
Gu Yebei stared at him with wide eyes, his heart filled with anger and helplessness.
He originally wanted to restore some dignity by blaming Jiang Yimo, but he didn't expect to provoke a more intense reaction from Gu Yebei.
However, at this moment, the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take them back, not to mention that he did have doubts in his heart about whether Jiang Yimo was the daughter of himself and Gu Zhiyu.
"My dear father-in-law! I have absolutely no intention of slandering Yi Mo!"
"Back then, when my poor eldest daughter was still in her infancy, I asked someone to tell her fortune. The person said that she was born to bring bad luck to her mother, was doomed to be alone, and was the reincarnation of a man-eating plant. For the sake of the lives of the people in my family, I placed her in the secluded backyard of the mansion, with only a wet nurse named Lan Yin to take care of her.
Then, he hired a little girl named Qingzhu to serve him. Poor girl, she had no chance to study and learn calligraphy since she was young, so how could she know medicine?
"Besides, she actually has all kinds of strange and deadly weapons hidden on her body. This is really unbelievable!"
Jiang Qinian used the most concise and clear words to tell the story of Jiang Yimo's life. However, he did not mention a word about how he, his second wife Ruan Jinyi, and his two daughters who were born later bullied and humiliated Jiang Yimo.
After Jiang Yimo heard this, she sneered and was about to refute, but her grandfather Gu Yebei spoke before her. Gu Yebei said angrily: "Jiang Qinian, Jiang Qinian, you actually have the nerve to bring up this matter!"
"When Yi Mo was only a few months old, you cruelly threw her into the dilapidated yard in the back hills, leaving her to her fate and to fend for herself."
"This child was so hungry that no one paid any attention to her for three whole days. If she hadn't been so lucky and hadn't held on until her wet nurse Lan Yin came back from the manor and found her, she would have probably died long ago..."
Lan Yin was originally Yu'er's maidservant, loyal to her, and I carefully selected her to be Yu'er's dowry. Not only that, Lan Yin has another identity - my disciple! "
"It was no secret in the Imperial City that I, Gu Yebei, knew medical skills, so my apprentice Lan Yin was no ordinary maid. Not only was she literate, she also studied medicine with me."
"After Yu'er passed away, without Lan Yin's careful care, how could Yi Mo grow up safely? Yi Mo has been weak and sickly since childhood, and malnourished. Under such circumstances, what's wrong with Lan Yin teaching Yi Mo knowledge and medical principles? Isn't this a good thing?"
Gu Yebei's explanation for Jiang Yimo was so insightful and reasonable that it instantly resonated with the onlookers.
