100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 541: Resolving the Knot in One’s Heart

Gu’s father’s face also looked very bad, and he said with annoyance, "Hangshen too, why didn’t he make these things clear to us earlier!"

Gu Xiaorou immediately urged, "Mom and Dad! Don’t blame big brother, he was just too concerned about my feelings! How could he be so selfish as to reveal all the foolish things I did back then just because of his wife!"

"Because of my willfulness, Xiaoqiao has suffered a lot. It was my weakness; I have always been afraid to tell you the truth, causing you to misunderstand Xiaoqiao and take up my defense! It was not Xiaoqiao who stole my boyfriend, but I betrayed her!"

Even if Gu Hangshen had told them, they might not have completely believed him, thinking that he was just blindly defending her after being smitten.

Just eloping with Xiaorou’s fiancé alone painted Xiaoqiao with the reputation of a homewrecker and a flirt; no explanation could fully change the impression of her in their minds. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

That incident was indeed disgraceful. Out of consideration for Xiaorou’s reputation, Gu Hangshen naturally did not want to reveal the truth. He didn’t expect that Xiaorou, who had always disliked Xiaoqiao, would actually take the initiative to clear everything up.

Although Xiaorou hadn’t shown it, Gu Hangshen had long noticed the tension between her and Xiaoqiao. So initially, although he had thought about asking Xiaorou to explain to their parents, he feared it would backfire and make her feel that he was taking sides. Hence, he ultimately didn’t do so.

Now it seemed that the knot between Xiaorou and Xiaoqiao had been untied.

Every family has its issues; the twists and turns in these matters were obviously something that Gu Hangshen, with his personality, had no idea how to deal with.

If he could have been as smooth and savvy as Shen Letian, he wouldn’t have clumsily managed the relationship between his sister and the woman he loved, and Xiaoqiao wouldn’t have been hurt so deeply.

Gu’s mother looked at her with compassion, "You can’t judge a book by its cover; we can’t believe we were deceived for so many years! You’ve really had it tough!"

Gu’s mother shuddered at the thought of letting such a calculating and ruthless woman into the Gu family.

Gu Hangshen had told her long ago that it was Gong Hannian who first kidnapped Xiaoqiao, and even hired thugs to abuse her, but she had been full of disbelief, feeling that Hannian couldn’t possibly do such a thing. It was not until last night when Xiaorou had a heartfelt talk with them all night that they realized the truth.

After all, seeing their son’s determination, it was clear he loved Xiaoqiao to his very bones, and he even disregarded his foster parents who had raised him for so many years. Given this, they naturally didn’t take Gu Hangshen’s words for granted, until Xiaorou explained everything from start to finish. Only then did the elders understand how much tragedy the marriage they had arranged for Gu Hangshen had caused.

The child was so respectful to them that even though he didn’t like Gong Hannian at all, he complied with their wishes without objecting to their plans.

Hangshen always had a cold demeanor; back then, when they saw how well he treated the young Miss from the Gong family and how close they appeared, they thought he saw her as a sister. After all, their age difference was a full nine years, and who would have thought that they shared mutual admiration and dependence, which turned into love.

Seeing all three family members apologizing sincerely made Xiaoqiao feel somewhat embarrassed, and she couldn’t help but look towards Gu Hangshen for help.

Gu Hangshen cleared his throat and said, "Dad, Mom, let’s not bring up the past anymore! From now on, let’s just be happy and harmonious as a family."
