In the 1960s, my whole family was murdered by my enemies.

At the beginning, the Gu family said to the public that Gu Huaqiang's ex-wife secretly ran away with Gu Huaqiang's daughter after the divorce...

Zhang Gaoyuan just laughed.

The Gu family is really inhumane. Not only did they betray and abandon Chen Yaxian, they also threw dirty water on her.

how?

If you don't take our daughter away, your family won't even want her. If you leave your daughter behind with a powerful stepmother, will the child be able to live a good life?

Although Zhang Gaoyuan was not sure whether this Chen Yaxian was Linlin's grandmother, he still instinctively brought Chen Yuwei and her daughter in.

Thinking of how Chen Yuwei was brought up by her mother to be gentle and generous, her ways of dealing with people, her character and her abilities are all good.

Let’s look at Gu Huaqiang’s two daughters in Beijing. Although Gu Juan is not bad, cheerful and straightforward, a good child with heroic spirit, the eldest daughter is a shrew who is famous in Beijing.

No matter who it is, no one can compare to Chen Yuwei.

Apart from anything else, Liu Yanran has been the mistress of the Gu family's main house for decades. Except for her stronger aura than Chen Yaxian, Chen Yaxian is no worse than her in any other aspect.

Even in the eyes of an old man like Zhang Gaoyuan, Chen Yaxian is truly dignified and elegant, with a gentle and intellectual temperament.

That is the upbringing that comes from within and the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

Liu Yanran really can't compare to her.

Chen Yaxian went to the southwest alone with her daughter during the war. She not only had to protect herself and her child, but also had to protect her only dowry and raise her child.

Such hardships did not erase Chen Yaxian's temperament, which made her unique in that small southwestern city.

"Since you've already divorced, why are you still looking for her?"

Zhang Gaoyuan came back to his senses and looked at Wei Xiuying calmly.

He could see that Chen Yaxian was living a good life now, and she herself liked that kind of ordinary life.

The Gu family hasn't looked for it for decades, and it may not be a good thing that they are just now thinking of looking for it.

Wei Xiuying showed a guilty expression and lowered her voice, making it even more difficult for Zhang Gaoyuan to hear.

"No divorce."

Zhang Gaoyuan's expression froze.

I heard the old lady continue to speak, she was already choking up.

"At the beginning, Yaxian didn't want to divorce, and the Chen family was gone. Apart from her two married sisters, she had no other relatives..."

Zhang Gaoyuan took a breath.

The Gu family is really inhumane!

Even though things have gone through so much, she still gets tired of the old and loves the new and insists on getting a divorce.

During the years when Gu Huaqiang was abroad, didn't Chen Yaxian respect his parents and brothers and sisters on his behalf?

With Chen Yaxian, the upbringing and character of the eldest daughter of the Chen family, it is impossible for her to do such a thing.

Even if we take a step back and say that Chen Yaxian is not too filial to her elders, she also gave birth to a child!

Her natal family is gone, and her husband has changed his mind and wants to drive her away. Isn't this pushing her into a dead end?

Seeing the change in Zhang Gaoyuan's expression without concealing it, Wei Xiuying felt even more guilty.

"It's also my fault. Although I opposed Huaqiang's decision at the beginning, I couldn't win the argument with the old man and Huaqiang."

"Plus, Yanran is also pregnant..."

To put it bluntly, Wei Xiuying had some conscience, but she couldn't go against her husband and son. Plus, her new daughter-in-law was pregnant, maybe with her eldest grandson, so she couldn't ask her to abort the child, so she could only let Chen Yaxian down.

"I thought, if it really comes to that, I should take better care of Yaxian, or even adopt her as my goddaughter..."

Zhang Gaoyuan was disgusted.

Who wants to be siblings with the ex-husband? Isn't this funny!

Even though Wei Xiuying had helped him, he couldn't hold back his expression and fell.

Seeing this, Wei Xiuying sighed and blamed herself.

“No one would have thought that Yaxian, who looked gentle and docile, was so strong-willed and disappeared with her child.”

Gu Huaqiang naturally would not go to find Chen Yaxian. Even if he had a child, a child born by a woman he didn't like could never compare to the one in his beloved's belly.

After Liu Yanran complained for a few times, Gu Huaqiang gave up.

The old man did send people to look for her, but that era was too chaotic, and Chen Yaxian had someone to help cover up her whereabouts, so it was impossible to find her.

Only Wei Xiuying has been secretly inquiring about this for so many years.

There was another time when he was discovered by Liu Yanran and was monitored by her for several years. In the end, he had to give up.

At that time, no matter how much Wei Xiuying regretted it or disliked Liu Yanran, she could only accept it because Liu Yanran gave birth to two grandsons for them.

Zhang Gaoyuan's expression was uncertain.

No matter how the old lady explained, she could not overcome the cruelty of the Gu family.

In that era, your Gu family was powerful and influential. Wouldn't it have pushed people to the edge of their seats? Would a delicate young lady leave her hometown with her two-year-old daughter?

If she had any choice, would she have run away secretly?

Don’t talk about divorce!

Chen Yaxian didn't commit any of the seven grounds for divorce, so why should she get a divorce just because you, Gu Huaqiang, brought her back to China?!

No matter where you go, this doesn't make sense.

Isn't this just like the ancient practice of favoring a concubine and ignoring the wife, divorcing the legal wife and making the mistress the legal wife?

The most unfair thing is that after the times changed, marriage certificates appeared.

This pair of bastards actually became a legitimate couple.

If it weren't for his pride, Zhang Gaoyuan would have wanted to get up and leave.

"Then what are you looking for now? Maybe in the war years, the orphans and widows will be gone."

Zhang Gaoyuan's tone was not very good, and Wei Xiuying felt even more guilty.

"I just want to know if they are okay. Also, I have always left a portion of my dowry for them and their daughter."

Zhang Gaoyuan thought of Chen Yuwei's superior family background and Zhang Yaowen's future, and shook his head silently.

Others may not necessarily need this belated concern.

"Aunt, since it has been decades, it is better not to look for it anymore."

Wei Xiuying became stubborn.

"No, at least half of my dowry should be left for them, for my granddaughter."

Zhang Gaoyuan never agreed, and after Wei Xiuying became disappointed, he said goodbye and left.

This should be the last time he sees his aunt in his life.

She didn't want to take on this matter because, if he got involved, one day Liu Yanran would find out and investigate the people around him.

Chen Yuwei and Chen Yaxian will definitely not be able to escape.

Even though Liu Yanran was trying to hide her intentions, he could see through her viciousness at a glance and she would not let them go.

Chengfeng knew how much he loved his relatives there, and Wanwan even had a better relationship with them.

And Linlin...

If something really happened to the mother and daughter, they would be so sad.

Back in the main courtyard, Liu Yanran had no doubts.

After being married for so many years, she had also heard about Zhang Gaoyuan's past relationship with her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law had long given up the idea of ​​looking for the mother and daughter. She had already secured her position as Mrs. Gu and was not worried at all.

During this period, Zhang Wan had also quietly found out about the situation of the Gu family through Gu Juan.

After a quick banquet, the grandfather and grandson left.

After returning home, Zhang Gaoyuan told Zhang Wan what Wei Xiuying had said.

Zhang Wan frowned.
