Chapter 784: Chapter 784: I Deceived Her
Qiao Yin gritted her teeth and asked, “She agreed to be with you? To be your secret lover? Or a tool to warm your bed? My mother may have died early, but do you think I don’t have any impression of her? Do you think I don’t understand her at all? She would never do such a thing!”
Gu Chengqiao’s gaze involuntarily shifted elsewhere, not daring to meet Qiao Yin’s gaze.
After a long time, he spoke hoarsely, “No, it wasn’t either of those. I told her I was already divorced. I would marry her, and that’s why she accepted me.”
Raging fury and massive grief swept over Qiao Yin, she could barely believe it: “You, what did you say?”
“You heard correctly, I lied to your mother.”
Gu Chengqiao didn’t expect to have to unearth that hidden past after so long and to pour salt onto his own wounds.
“I really liked her at that time and used all means to pursue her, but she was always lukewarm to me. Finally, she said since I was already married, she would not accept me. So, to win her heart, I proposed a divorce to my wife.”
Qiao Yin didn’t believe him: “Did you really propose a divorce? This is probably a lie you fabricated to deceive me, isn’t it?”
“No, I did propose a divorce, and I truly wanted to get divorced.”
“But, in the end, you didn’t divorce.”
“Yes.”
Gu Chengqiao supported his forehead with his hand: “It’s not that I didn’t want to, it’s because your mother left without a word, and soon after married someone else. My divorce then became meaningless, so I didn’t go ahead with it.”
Qiao Yin looked at him mockingly: “Probably because she found out about your lie of being divorced.”

“I have the same suspicion.”
Gu Chengqiao sighed: “After all, at that time, my wife had found her and must have told her something, which is why she left. She was too naive. She should have believed me. The divorce was almost settled, if only she had held on, we could have been together.”
The blood in Qiao Yin’s body nearly flowed backward in rage!
She wished she could stab Gu Chengqiao in the heart and see if the blood that gushed out was black!
“You still blame her, you don’t blame yourself, you don’t blame your wife, you only blame her!”
Qiao Yin’s voice involuntarily rose: “Isn’t she the most innocent one?! You forced her, deceived her, you are the chief culprit!”
“You’re now saying if she had held on a little longer, you two could have been together, but who knows what you were thinking at that time? If you really liked her, you should have pursued her after getting a divorce, not lying to her that you were already divorced!”
“Maybe you never intended to divorce at all. You wanted a rich girl like Hou Jinhua as your wife and a beauty like my mother as your lover! You wanted both!””
Gu Chengqiao looked at Qiao Yin with a complex expression.
The sharp and intelligent girl in front of him was his and Shen Tang’s daughter. She was unlike Shen Tang or him.
She resembled Shen Yujun.
She was decisive, sharp, seemingly soft and non-aggressive from the outside, but really firm and powerful in her inner heart.
She was like a sword wrapped in cotton, pleasant and gentle to deal with from a distance but once approached, one would be stabbed till they bled.
Back then, he indeed had the thought of having both women. Only he knew about it. Hou Jinhua was oblivious, thinking that he actually wanted to divorce her, and Shen Tang was even less aware, thinking that he would abandon her.
Yet today, his real thoughts were pierced by Qiao Yin.
“You need to calm down first. The wound on your face needs immediate attention, it’s still bleeding. Aren’t you in pain?””
