Madam Li s Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Jianguo Bribed the Doctor…

“That’s wonderful,” Gu Qiaomei sighed with relief, as the stone that had been pressing on her chest these past several days finally lifted. She relaxed her brows, revealing a genuine smile, “Brother, thank you.”

Gu Qiao’an tenderly patted the back of her hand, a shadow of gloom flitting across his triangle eyes as he said through gritted teeth, “Chi Jianguo is such a bastard! If not for our family’s support back in the day, he would have never made it big. Now that he’s a big company boss, he’s forgotten who married him despite everything when he was still poor, and who pulled him up when he couldn’t even afford an apartment.”

“No sooner did he come into money than he started chasing women outside. He even got that woman pregnant, causing an uproar throughout the city. You were magnanimous enough to forgive him, allowing him to bring his illegitimate daughter back home. And now look, he’s afraid the illegitimate daughter will release the recording, so he actually pushed Xiao Ya into taking the fall and going to jail. He’s a complete scoundrel!”

How could Gu Qiaomei not be angry, not be furious? She was angry, she was furious, but she knew that getting angry and furious was useless against Chi Jianguo! That man valued his reputation above all else, was selfish and unreliable!

“Brother, I really regret it now…” she regretted choosing such a man despite her family’s objections back then.

Seeing the unhideable weariness around his younger sister’s eyes and brows, Gu Qiao’an was deeply heartbroken. His bushy eyebrows knitted together, he slammed the table and declared, “Then get a divorce! It’s not like I can’t support you and your two children!”

“I can’t. Chi Jianguo won’t let me get divorced.”

“Why not? He doesn’t need the Gu family now,” Gu Qiao’an asked in confusion.

“…Because,” she knew a deadly secret about Chi Jianguo, one he would never let go of—a secret she was also part of.

“Qiaomei, I’m your biological brother. Is there anything you can’t tell me? You’re not afraid that I would betray you, are you?”

“No,” she replied.

Chi Ya had caused too much trouble recently, and Gu Qiaomei was exhausted from constantly having to clean up after her. In front of her brother, she let down her guard and revealed a secret she thought she’d never confess, “Brother, do you remember that Lin woman from back then?”

“You mean the illegitimate daughter’s biological mother? What about her? Didn’t she die in childbirth a long time ago?”

“She didn’t die in childbirth. It was Chi Jianguo… Chi Jianguo bribed the doctor and had her killed.”

Gu Qiao’an was taken aback, pressing her shoulder as he said seriously, “Qiaomei, you can’t just talk nonsense about this kind of thing.”

“I’m not talking nonsense,” Gu Qiaomei said with a chill in her heart. “Back then, when I discovered his affair with that woman, I hired a private detective to investigate them. I thought, once I had evidence, I could divorce him. As the wrongdoer, I would get most of the property and custody of the children. But when I followed them to the hospital, Chi Jianguo discovered me. He knelt down and admitted his wrongdoings, swearing that he would never have contact with that woman again, and that I was the person he loved the most. He said it was the woman who seduced him when he was drunk… He said, to prove his sincerity, he would make that woman disappear today.”

Gu Qiaomei’s fists clenched quietly as if recalling the past, “Back then, I hated that woman, hated her for wrecking my home and seducing my husband. So, knowing full well that Chi Jianguo intended to kill her, I still participated throughout the whole process.”
