Mr. and Mrs. Gu stood in front of the closed door, looking worried.

Mrs. Gu still asked uncertainly, “Hubby, did I really not hit my daughter’s head just now?”

Mr. Gu shook his head with even more uncertainty.

“But if I really didn’t hit her head, why did she suddenly think it through?” Mrs. Gu said worriedly, “And she even said some strange things just now.”

They had been happy that their daughter had thought things through.

However, Gu Qingming’s sudden cry was so desperate and helpless that it made their hearts ache. But what was even more puzzling was the words she said.

Standing in front of the door, she heard faint weeping from inside the house.

Mrs. Gu endured it, but she could not help but knock on the door. She asked worriedly, “Daughter, daughter, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me.”

Father Gu also looked worried. He said, “Daughter, say something.”

Her daughter’s abnormality was really abnormal.

Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

Father Gu took a deep breath and said, “Daughter, open the door first. We still have to talk. If you really like that man, and it has to be that man… your mother and I will agree. But that man is really not the one you can entrust your life to. He…”

Seeing that his daughter was not in a good state, Father Gu could only use a delaying tactic and temporarily agree to his daughter’s relationship with that man.

But before he could finish, the door clicked open. Gu Qingming’s eyes were red and swollen, and her expression was calm.

She said very calmly, “Dad, Mom, you’re right. Lin Haotian is not worth my life. In the past, I was blinded by love and was coaxed by his sweet words. However, I’m sober now.”

Hearing their daughter’s sudden unusual words, Mr. and Mrs. Gu became even more worried.

Mrs. Gu suddenly asked, “Daughter, are… are you alright? Don’t take things too hard! You’re our only daughter. What if something happens to you… what will your father and I do?”

The more Mrs. Gu thought about it, the more likely it was. She immediately became agitated and grabbed Gu Qingming’s hand. “If you really want to be with that man, as long as you live well, Mom and Dad will agree.”

“Mom!” Gu Qingming called out with red eyes. “Don’t be agitated. I’m fine. I won’t take things too hard. I’ve figured it out.”

Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter with teary eyes and asked suspiciously, “Daughter, are you really alright?”

Her heart was equally unsettled! A moment ago, her darling daughter was desperate to be with that man. Even though she had to sever ties with her parents, she still believed in her love and vowed to marry that man.

The next moment, he became the scumbag her darling daughter had described.

Why?

This made Mrs. Gu feel even more uneasy and worried. They thought that this was perhaps Gu Qingming’s strategy of retreating for the sake of advancing.

A daughter knows her mother best! Seeing her mother’s expression, Gu Qingming guessed what she was thinking.

She took a deep breath. “Mom, I’ve really figured it out! Don’t worry, I won’t be fooled by that man again. It’s just, Dad, Mom, I’m a little tired now. I want to rest!”

Her mind was a mess now, but she had to find out what was going on.

A moment ago, she had been sent flying by a car and became unconscious. But in the next moment, she returned to the scene of her cutting ties with her parents and being kicked out of the house.

Just as Mrs. Gu was about to say something, Mr. Gu interrupted, “Alright, daughter. Your mother and I will leave first. Have a good rest.”

Then, Mr. Gu said to Mrs. Gu, “Honey, you were caught in the rain just now and even used a mop. Oh, right, you haven’t had ginger soup yet. Don’t catch a cold. Come, have some ginger soup first!”

With that, Mr. Gu hugged Mrs. Gu and left.

Gu Qingming was speechless.

Although she knew that her parents were unusually loving and that his father loved his mother as much as his life, he seemed to have forgotten that she was heartbroken now. Was she still his precious daughter?’

After watching her parents leave, Gu Qingming turned around and closed the door. She leaned against the door, but her heart could not calm down for a long time!

She didn’t know how, but she was sure of it now.

She had gone back in time.

To be precise, she had gone back to the moment when she’d been kicked out of the house by her parents.

At the thought, she couldn’t stop herself from crying loudly again. She wasn’t going to be fooled by that scumbag couple anymore.

Two years of romance, three years of marriage.

It had never occurred to her that this was all part of that adulterous couple’s scheme. It was only because she was Gu Qingming, Gu Jianguo’s only daughter and the only heir of the Gu Corporation.

If he married her, he would become the son-in-law of the Gu Corporation. He would soar in his career and save 30 years of hard work.

Back then, Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei had taken a fancy to her identity and she had become their target. She’d been fooled by their elaborate act and stepped into the abyss of hell.
