Chapter 5: Could it be that he really has fallen for Qin Shu?

If he didn't love her, why would he abandon his wife to watch over her all night?

Gu Tingyan only felt a sense of responsibility toward Qin Shu as a husband; it was not love.

On the night of their high school graduation, Qin Shu confessed her feelings to Gu Tingyan.

The very next day, Chu Sheng and Gu Tingyan made their relationship official on social media.

Not loving someone means not loving them.

So many years have passed, and Qin Shu still cannot compete with her.

Qin Shu and that mother of hers were nothing more than stepping stones for the two of them.

Qin Zhiyun couldn't compete with Chu Sheng's mother, and the daughter she bore is just as much of a failure as she is.

What a pathetic and pitiful pair of mother and daughter.

A look of certainty flashed in Chu Sheng's eyes as she said calmly and indifferently, "Don't worry, he will."

"If it weren't for that car accident back then, Tingyan and I wouldn't have been separated."

Chu Sheng pursed her lips: "And Dad wouldn't have let Qin Shu take my place to marry into the Gu Family!"

"He only loves me."

That she and Qin Shu were actually half-sisters—this point truly disgusted her.

After Chu Sheng died, Chu Xuanming naturally wouldn't give up the Gu Family, this towering tree, so he had people kidnap Qin Shu and send her into the Gu Family as a substitute bride.

Few people in Beijing know that she and Qin Shu are half-sisters; even Gu Tingyan doesn't know.

Because Chu Xuanming does not acknowledge Qin Shu.

When Chu Xuanming divorced Qin Zhiyun, the Chu Family directly kicked the mother and daughter out.

Qin Zhiyun was schemed against until she was forced to leave with nothing.

Whether it was eight years ago, or eight years later!

The person Gu Tingyan loves is her, Chu Sheng.

Gu Tingyan will only ever belong to her!

And Qin Shu is nothing more than a substitute.

Jiang Chenxue asked: "You still haven't told Gu Tingyan that you also bore him a son?"

Chu Sheng's hand paused, her eyes slightly shallow: "Don't tell him yet."

Jiang Chenxue didn't understand: "Why not tell him?"

"If he knew you bore him a child,"

"He would definitely divorce Qin Shu immediately and marry you!"

A look of irritation appeared on Chu Sheng's face as she lowered her head to reply: "Mom, stop talking, I have my own plan."

She couldn't say it yet, because Chenchen was not Gu Tingyan's child at all; if the Gu Family went to do a DNA test, everything would be exposed!

Chu Sheng was also afraid of pinning the child on Gu Tingyan.

Unless it was a last resort, she wouldn't do it.

Jiang Chenxue frowned; such a good card, why wasn't her daughter using it quickly?

So that Gu Tingyan would hurry up and divorce Qin Shu.

If Chu Sheng had borne Gu Tingyan a son, there would be no use for that little brat in Qin Shu's belly.

In the future, all the property under the Gu Family's name would have to belong to her grandson!

Hospital.

Gu Tingyan also received the message sent by the driver; he was woken up by the phone vibrating: "President Gu, the Madam got into a car accident on the way back with the young master."

Seeing the message on his phone, Gu Tingyan's expression changed slightly, and an inexplicable, intense fear rose in his heart as he asked urgently: "Where is she?!"

"The Madam is fine, it's just that the car was damaged."

Gu Tingyan: "Wait for me to get there."

Gu Tingyan breathed a slight sigh of relief and strode out.

Chu Sheng put away her phone and looked at him with a pitiful expression: "Tingyan, where are you going?"

"Huahua got into a car accident." Gu Tingyan rubbed his temples and looked back at her: "I'll have A Zhong bring you something to eat later."

Chu Sheng asked with concern: "Is she alright?"

Gu Tingyan left in such a hurry that he didn't even answer her.

Chu Sheng sat on the hospital bed, her fingers clenched tight, a sense of panic rising in her heart for no reason.

Could it be that he really has fallen for Qin Shu?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible! She would never allow it!

In Chu Sheng's mind, Qin Shu's face appeared: always wearing a school uniform, sporting large black-rimmed glasses, wearing bangs, and dressed in a dowdy, unpresentable way.

When they were in school, Qin Shu and Gu Tingyan's grades were almost neck and neck, often tying for first and second place in the entire grade.

Other than good grades, she was useless; men wouldn't like such a boring woman with a cold personality.

Gu Tingyan had been a favored child of heaven since he was young; he couldn't possibly like such a "plain" woman.

Thinking of something, Chu Sheng hurriedly sent a message to Jiang Chenxue in a panic: "Mom, Tingyan is coming over, you must not let him discover Chenchen's existence!"

Unless it was a last resort, she didn't want to use this card.

Jiang Chenxue didn't understand, but she did as told.

When Jiang Chenxue got out of the car and saw Qin Shu, she was slightly startled, her gaze turning very cold.

The dowdy black-rimmed glasses on Qin Shu's face were gone, her bangs had grown out, revealing a smooth forehead; on a beautiful face, her large, bright, and spirited eyes, skin as white as jade, and cherry-like mouth made her look like an immortal from a painting.

She had grown up to be even more beautiful and moving than her mother, with an even more magnificent appearance!

This face, it was actually so moving.

Jiang Chenxue had not seen her stepdaughter for a long time; she never expected that beneath those black-rimmed glasses was such a peerless countenance!

After that wretch Qin Zhiyun died, she had seen the daughter Qin Zhiyun gave birth to, and her face had been covered in black spots!

After growing up, she became timid and unlikable, wore thick-lensed glasses that covered half her face, and had an ordinary temperament and an ordinary face.

She had nothing to do with Qin Zhiyun.

Back then, when letting Qin Shu marry into the Gu Family in her place, Jiang Chenxue did not think Gu Tingyan would like such an ordinary woman.

Therefore, she permitted Qin Shu to marry into the Gu Family.

Who would have known that Qin Shu, at such a young age, would have such deep schemes!

They had all been deceived by her!

Jiang Chenxue's expression turned very ugly.

Ever since Chu Sheng had her accident, she had basically been abroad and had not paid any attention to the Gu Family at all.

She never expected that beneath those glasses, Qin Shu was hiding this vixen's face!

If she had known, she would have definitely had someone slash Qin Shu's face to shreds!

Qin Zhiyun was a person who had been an inescapable nightmare for her ever since she was born.

Qin Zhiyun was a heaven-favored daughter; when Jiang Chenxue stood before her, she was instantly eclipsed, and others would never see her, but so what? Qin Zhiyun's husband now belonged to her.

The husband of Qin Zhiyun's own daughter also loved her own daughter!

Jiang Chenxue had not lost to her!

Gu Tingyan rushed all the way to the scene of the incident; he drove the car to the side of the road and got out.

The moment Gu Tingyan appeared, Chu Chen, who was sitting in the back seat, kept his eyes fixed on him.

He had been exceptionally clever since he was young, and Chu Sheng had shown him photos of his father.

He remembered him at a single glance.

So, this was his father; he looked really good.

Jiang Chenxue did not expect Gu Tingyan would really come, so she hurriedly said, "Tingyan, why are you here?"

Five years ago, everyone thought Gu Tingyan would never be able to stand up again; the hospital had even issued a critical condition notice, stating that large-scale amputation was required to save his life.

Even Jiang Chenxue had given up hope.

Unexpectedly, a Ghost Doctor Saint Hand she had never heard of suddenly appeared and saved him, preserving his legs.

But he could only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Now, he had miraculously stood up.

This series of miracles was truly astonishing.

If only she had known...

Why did they have to do what they did back then...

Gu Tingyan said, "My wife got into a car accident; if I don't come, who will?"

Jiang Chenxue almost ground her teeth to pieces, but she walked over with a smile: "That is not what I meant."

Qin Shu stood by the side of the road with the child and the driver, preparing to wait for the traffic police to arrive.

Gu Laoyezi was ill and needed care, so Lin Jingshu had asked her to go to the kindergarten to pick up the child.

"Does it hurt?" Gu Tingyan walked over, saw that Qin Shu was injured, frowned with a cold expression, and raised his hand to gently stroke the wound on Qin Shu's arm.

Qin Shu's heart stirred slightly: "It's nothing."

The scrape on Qin Shu's arm was from protecting the child.

Seeing Gu Tingyan arrive, Jiang Chenxue ignored Qin Shu entirely and just smiled at Gu Tingyan: "Tingyan, we will pay for whatever amount is needed."

Qin Shu looked up at him and tightened her grip on her son slightly; this was Chu Sheng's mother, so he probably wouldn't make things difficult for her.

"Does our Gu Family lack your bit of money?"

Gu Tingyan turned back, his gaze icy, and he said unceremoniously: "Eyes are meant for driving properly."

Gu Tingyan's tone was indifferent, carrying an invisible pressure: "Apologize."

Qin Shu looked up at Gu Tingyan in surprise, not expecting him to defend her.

Jiang Chenxue's expression was ugly, and it twitched.

Gu Tingyan, he wouldn't have actually fallen for Qin Shu, would he?

Jiang Chenxue took a deep breath and looked at Qin Shu: "I'm sorry, we will pay for all the necessary compensation."

After Gu Tingyan took the person away, Chu Chen leaned out the window to look at Gu Tingyan's tall and imposing back, as well as the child about his own age that the man was holding in his arms.

His eyes stared hatefully at Qin Shu; it was this bad woman who had snatched his father!

Chu Chen turned his head to look at Jiang Chenxue: "He is my father!"

Jiang Chenxue: "Mm."
