Qiao Yin looked at the man of contradictions before her, her heart aching.
In the past, she had simply seen Gu Chengqiao as the murderer who had killed her mother, but she had never considered that this man might be her biological father.
Her mother was deceived by him during her lifetime, bore his child, yet he sent her back to the countryside and never appeared again.
Now, even killing Gu Chengqiao wouldn’t erase the hatred in Qiao Yin’s heart. She wanted to ruin him, to leave him with nothing!
She really wanted to put on a “deep father-daughter affection” play with Gu Chengqiao. After all, acting with him was beneficial for her, as it could make him lower his guard and reveal more.
Unfortunately, Qiao Yin hated him too much. No matter how hard she tried to control it, she just couldn’t bring herself to call him “Dad”. She found it revolting. She couldn’t play along.
She heard herself say in a cold voice, “President Gu should just call me Qiao Yin. Yinyin is what my relatives and friends call me. It doesn’t suit you.”
Gu Chengqiao glanced at her face, then quickly looked away.
Her face was too frightening, with skin torn open by fingernails, flesh turned inside out, swelling purple and grotesque. It contrasted sharply with the other perfect half of her face, making it unbearable for anyone to take a second glance.
He resented Hou Jinhua deeply for being so ruthless, for destroying Qiao Yin’s perfect face, as he couldn’t tolerate the destruction of perfection.
In a voice filled with regret, he said, “Yinyin, actually, I was the one who chose your name. I started calling you that before you were born, you just didn’t know it at the time.”
“And after I was born? Where were you then?”
“I had no idea you were born. I thought your mother had aborted the child. She never gave me a chance to explain, just left me and immediately married someone else. So, I never looked for her again. I didn’t know she had given birth to you until you stood before me, still using the name I gave you. Then I realized your mother hadn’t forgotten me.”
Gu Chengqiao’s face was a mask of pain. “If I had known you were my daughter, I would have brought you back to the Gu Family earlier. You wouldn’t have had that misunderstanding with my wife; you wouldn’t have been hurt. The old master also likes you very much; he hopes you can come back to the Gu Family too.”
Qiao Yin watched his act and was somewhat astonished at Gu Chengqiao’s acting skills.
Such a natural talent for performance, it was a shame he wasn’t an actor. No wonder his simple mother had been deceived by him; he was eloquent and flexible, a Corporation CEO and the patriarch of the Gu Family, yet he still managed to appear so humble, without any of the pride or arrogance typical of a major-family heir.
In contrast, Hou Jinhua struck her as much more genuine. Hou Jinhua’s domineering temperament was more characteristic of a rich family upbringing.
“President Gu seems to have a very idealistic view of things.”
Qiao Yin’s voice was cool. “I tend to think that if I had been brought back to the Gu Family, your wife would have been even less likely to let me off. It might not have been as simple as disfigurement. In my office, she could destroy my face; at the Gu home, what do you think she would destroy then?”
“Your grandmother and I have already warned her; she wouldn’t dare to do anything to you anymore. Don’t be afraid. From now on, you will be the Third Miss of the Gu Family. The Gu Family is essentially a loving and harmonious big family. You have two biological sisters above you. You’ve met the eldest sister yesterday, Ranxuan, and I will introduce you to the Second Sister another time.”
Loving and harmonious?
Was he referring to the car accident orchestrated to fight for the family inheritance which left his own brother hospitalized for six months, or his marriage to Hou Jinhua for the sake of interests, followed by infidelity and betrayal, or Hou Jinhua’s ruthless disfigurement of her, the doctor, without a care for Gu Guotai’s life or death?
“No need. I am myself, the Gu Family is the Gu Family, and the Gu Family’s people have no relation to me. President Gu’s daughters are also no concern of mine.”
“Sigh.”
Gu Chengqiao sighed, “You, you have the same temperament as your mother, with a strong sense of pride, not willing to show weakness easily. That kind of character isn’t entirely good. In fact, all I want is for you to be happier. The Gu Family can give you protection, glory. Don’t be too resistant to it, okay? Yinyin, come back to the Gu Family with me!”
