The birth of their first son, Jiang Yipeng, did not improve the situation. After her postpartum period, Miss Guan was eager to regain her slim figure and return to social circles. Jiang Jinghong, a visiting professor at T University, could not tolerate his wife’s outgoing nature and her complete disregard for child-rearing, leaving the child with a nanny, which was unforgivable in the eyes of the conservative Jiang family elders.
At the time, several suitors were also persistently pursuing Guan Yinyin, and unpleasant rumors began to spread. In a fit of anger, Jiang Jinghong moved out of the Guan family. After several intense arguments, the newlyweds divorced after just over two years of marriage.
Guan Wangui readily gave up custody of his young grandson, giving the not-yet-one-year-old Jiang Yipeng to the Jiang family.
The Jiang family later learned the reason – Guan Yinyin was pregnant again.
Seven months after the divorce, Guan Yinyin gave birth to another son, Guan Longji, who took his mother’s surname.
As for the child’s father? Miss Guan refused to say.
Jiang Jinghong had his doubts, believing Guan Longji was his biological child, but his “former” father-in-law, who was wealthy and powerful, did not allow him to claim the child.
Moreover, Guan Wangui even arranged for his daughter to give birth in the United States, ensuring Guan Longji was born with American citizenship.
Guan Wangui achieved his wish. The Guan family now had a legitimate heir, and his grandson bore the Guan family surname, which no one could take away.
Three years later, under pressure from his elders, Jiang Jinghong remarried, taking Lü Peiling as his wife – this middle-aged couple called by Dong Yilin was Jiang Jinghong and Lü Peiling.
Although a stepmother, Lü Peiling had always raised Jiang Yipeng as her own son.
Shuijing’s mother was also Lü Peiling’s close friend. Shuijing could be said to have been watched over by her since childhood. Twelve to thirteen years ago, when Shuijing’s parents died in a traffic accident, Lü Peiling, having lost her good friend, loved Shuijing even more, waiting for her to grow up so she could marry her off.
Living in the same city, the two families were close. Shuijing and Jiang Yipeng were essentially betrothed in casual conversation between the families. Who would have expected Guan Longji to suddenly appear and disrupt their plans?
