My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

The moment Zhao Ming revealed Gu Yao's biological father.

I looked at Gu Yao.

Gu Yao's expression clearly underwent a significant change.

Her face showed surprise and a hint of hesitation.

Then, in disbelief, they slowly backed away.

Finally, Gu Yao leaned against the wall, her hands supporting her from behind, and looked at Zhao Ming with a resistant gaze.

"No, how is this possible?"

Zhao Ming gave a wry smile and nodded helplessly: "Gu Yao is your biological father. He took the remaining half of the money."

After shock and resistance, Gu Yao...

A hint of hatred flickered in her eyes.

"Zhao Ming, what does that man want with you?"

Zhao Ming wore an embarrassed expression.

He hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"He...he came to talk to me about my marriage to you..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao's expression became even more surprised.

Lin Xia and I, on the other hand, looked on with amused expressions.

Zhao Ming said, "He is, after all, your biological father, and I wanted his blessing at the time. He was living in poverty and came to me for money because he had no money. I was soft-hearted and agreed to give him the other half of the money."

Gu Yao was so angry at this that she laughed.

She shook her head while laughing angrily.

"Hehe, Zhao Ming, you really know how to play the philanthropist!"

"That money isn't your money after all; it belongs to Lu Yi."

"You took Lu Yi's money and gave it to others; that's being generous with other people's money!"

"You're so kind! You're so generous!"

Gu Yao was so angry that she made a sarcastic remark to mock Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming knew he was in the wrong, so he could only lower his head and let Gu Yao teach him a lesson.

Gu Yao saw Zhao Ming like this.

She was immediately filled with a surge of anger, a feeling of disappointment and frustration!

Zhao Ming does this every single time!

Lin Xia and I watched from the side, without making any move to disturb them.

But in my mind, I was thinking that things seemed to have become more complicated.

Gu Yao's father has been missing for so many years.

And now it has suddenly reappeared.

I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing!

Back then, Aunt Gu divorced Gu Yao's biological father because that man was an out-and-out gambler!

Because of his gambling addiction, he squandered all his family's wealth, which led to Aunt Gu leaving him with her newborn daughter, Gu Yao.

Later, I met my father, who was also divorced, and we remarried by chance.

That's how I met Gu Yao, which led to the series of events that followed.

And I've heard plenty of stories about it.

This man was not only addicted to gambling, but also had a terrible character. Because he couldn't get money from Aunt Gu, he even resorted to domestic violence and beatings against her.

Even after Aunt Gu got together with my father.

This man even secretly came to see Aunt Gu.

He was impressed by the luxurious life Aunt Gu led.

He was incredibly envious and jealous.

At that time, he asked Aunt Gu for more money.

Aunt Gu didn't want this man's messy affairs to affect her new family.

So she kept it a secret from all of us and eventually gave the man a sum of money, telling him to get as far away from us as possible.

On another occasion, I accidentally bumped into them outside.

The man went to Aunt Gu again to ask for money.

At that time, Aunt Gu had completely hardened her heart and refused to give the man money no matter how much he asked.

Finally, the man was driven to desperation and threatened her with Gu Yao, me, and my father!

If Aunt Gu doesn't give us the money, he'll kill us!

For a gambler, he has lost everything and desperately needs money to turn things around!

He would be willing to gamble his life.

A barefoot man, unafraid of those wearing shoes, threatened Aunt Gu with the mindset that he was going to die anyway.

But that time, Aunt Gu withstood the pressure and refused him.

......

Later, a new worker came to my father's construction site.

He was a drunk tow truck driver.

Because she didn't react in time, she crashed into her father, crushing him to death.

There is no evidence to prove that this man intentionally killed my father.

In addition, there's the relationship between Aunt Gu and Gu Yao.

As a young child at the time, I was eventually swayed by Aunt Gu's tearful outbursts.

They chose to be soft-hearted and forgot that unbearable past.

.......

Gu Yao asked, "Zhao Ming, where is that man?"

The conversation resumed.

It pulled me back to reality from my cold memories.

Zhao Ming looked up and said with a wry smile, "I... I don't know. He disappeared after taking the money."

"You don't have his contact information?"

"No."

"Zhao Ming, you're really something! You dared to give money to this gambling addict? He'll never pay back a single penny!"

Gu Yao clearly knew everything about her gambling father.

Things get troublesome.

Gu Yao took a deep breath and looked at me, her eyes filled with conflict and complexity.

"Lu Yi, the situation regarding your money has been clarified."

"Half is in Liu Chaoyang's hands, and half is in that man's hands."

I have never heard Gu Yao call that man "father".

Faced with Gu Yao's explanation.

I replied coldly, "So what? Can I get my money back, and my company back?"

“Uh…” Gu Yao hesitated, at a loss for what to do.

I said, "I remember, before you sent me to the reformatory, you promised me that once I was reformed in the reformatory, you would return my company to me when I came out."

"The reality is that after I got out, the company was gone, the money was gone, and I had nothing left."

These words made Gu Yao and Zhao Ming blush.

Gu Yao lowered her head, feeling rather embarrassed.

She didn't dare look me in the eye, so she vented her anger on Zhao Ming.

"Zhao Ming! I'm talking to you! I told you long ago that you were only temporarily managing Lu Yi's company. Who gave you permission to let the company turn out like this!"

Seeing this, Zhao Ming quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! It's all my fault! Lu Yi, I swear I will definitely help you rebuild the company, and I will definitely help you earn back the money I owe you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xia revealed a strange expression.

She glanced at me.

And then I realized what was happening.

Zhao Ming is really cunning.

Do you think you can just shirk all the blame and responsibility with a casual "help me"?

How is this possible?

Since I'm here tonight...

That means we must thoroughly settle scores with Liu Chaoyang and Zhao Ming!

So I stared coldly at Zhao Ming: "We can put the company and the debt aside for now."

"But now, let's talk about something else."

"About Aunt Gu's suicide by jumping off the bridge!"

"Zhao Ming, is there anything you want to say?"

The moment I brought up this topic.

At Lin Xia's signal, all the waiters in the corridor left.

Of the remaining people on the field, only Lin Xia, Zhao Ming, and Gu Yao were left.

The atmosphere on the field was eerily silent; not a single person spoke.
