Chapter 296: Threatening Each Other
Translator: _Min_ |
Gu Si confidently a.s.sured, “Your uncle is indeed unreliable, but I’ve already taught him a lesson upon my return. He has promised to treat Yinyin better and is reluctant to let you take her away.”
Gu Dai, disbelieving a word from Gu Si, spoke coolly, “But Yinyin has been mistreated by uncle for years. She herself expressed not wanting to live with him.”
Gu Si argued, “Yinyin is still a child and doesn’t understand these matters. I believe she’ll be happy to live with her father once she sees his change.”
Seeing Gu Dai unmoved, Gu Si continued, “Your uncle is Yinyin’s biological father. They’ve lived together all these years. Daidai, being the kind person you are, surely you wouldn’t want to separate them?”
Listening to Gu Si’s words, Gu Dai found them laughable and couldn’t even maintain a facade of agreement.
Gu Dai responded, “Wen Ye is more than just unreliable. Yinyin was hospitalized because of his beating, with a head injury so severe that she could have died if not for timely rescue. Once domestic violence occurs, it’s likely to happen again. Aunt, as Yinyin’s mother, doesn’t it pain you to see your child treated like this?”
Gu Si, feigning disbelief, covered her mouth, tears forming in her eyes. Crying, she said, “I thought Wen Ye only caused minor injuries. I didn’t realize it was so serious! That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Wen Ye, I won’t let him off!”
Despite Gu Si’s pretense of sorrow, Gu Dai still saw clarity in her eyes.
Gu Dai declared, “I’m determined to take custody of Yinyin. I won’t leave her with Wen Ye. Children’s thoughts matter too, their opinions should be respected. Right, aunt?”
Gu Si, seemingly persuaded, agreed, “You’re absolutely right. I’ll convince your uncle to give up custody. By the way, I haven’t seen Yinyin in a long time. Can I visit her in the hospital later?”
Considering Gu Si is Yinyin’s biological parent and Yinyin might want to see her mother, Gu Dai had no right to refuse and agreed, “Yes.”
Gu Si nodded, then smilingly said, “I’ll quickly get changed first, and then we can go.”
Gu Dai watched Gu Si enter the bedroom and then turned her attention away.
Song Ling remarked, “Wen Ye is in the bedroom, and Gu Si suddenly agreeing to let you take custody of Yinyin definitely means they have an ulterior motive.”
Gu Dai nodded, replying softly, “I know.”
Song Ling, seeing Gu Dai was aware of the situation, changed the subject, “I heard you recently found a young boy?”
Gu Dai glanced at Song Ling, then looked away, replying indifferently, “Just helping out of pity.”
Song Ling had casually brought up the topic, not particularly concerned about the boy. However, upon hearing Gu Dai’s response, he instinctively wanted to say he was also in need of help and wished for her to be less cold towards him.
He managed to restrain himself from saying something so embarra.s.sing but looked visibly unsettled. Remembering Gu Dai’s earlier look, he quickly explained.
Song Ling said, “I heard about the boy from Zhao Xuan, as we were investigating that black car, which inevitably led to your recent activities.”
Gu Dai nodded, casually acknowledging before focusing on her phone.
In the bedroom.
As soon as Gu Si entered, Wen Ye grabbed her, demanding, “Didn’t you promise you’d convince Gu Dai to let me keep Yinyin’s custody?”
Gu Si, pulled her arm out, then wiped it with a wet wipe in disgust, replied, “Don’t touch me with your dirty hands. I’ve only temporarily appeased Gu Dai to lower her guard before we reclaim custody.”
Wen Ye nodded, threatening, “You better keep your word, or I’ll expose your past deeds.”
Gu Si was not someone to be trifled with. Faced with Wen Ye’s threats, she showed no fear and retorted firmly, “Rest a.s.sured, I’ll do as promised. But if you continue to speak to me in this manner, you can forget about ever getting custody of Gu Yin. And don’t forget, you’ve got your own share of misdeeds.”
Wen Ye’s face turned red with anger, but facing Gu Si, he found himself unable to utter a word in response. Instead, he swallowed his words in frustration..
