Jiang Qi hesitated for a moment and said carefully, “I’ll tell you then. But, don’t tell my brother that I told you this.”

“Of course,” Yu Gangan nodded as she looked around. She the pointed to a cafe in a small garden ahead, “Let’s go there and sit. We can chat while we have some coffee.”

“OK.”

The two women entered the cafe and sat in a quiet corner. One sip of the steaming hot coffee warmed one’s heart…

Jiang Qi’s expression was serious, “Her name is Gu Shuling. She is the eldest daughter of the Gu Family. But, she is not Uncle Gu Chen’s biological daughter. Uncle Gu’s daughter died in an accident.”

“When did this happen?” Yu Gangan queried.

“Over a decade ago. At that time, I was only 6-years-old. Everything I know is just hearsay and what my father told me.”

Jiang Qi stirred her coffee a few times and said slowly, “The current Mrs. Gu isn’t Uncle Gu’s first wife. Uncle Gu’s previous wife went by the surname, Yan. They were childhood friends. They grew up together and got married as soon as they graduated from university. Afterwards, they gave birth to a daughter, Gu Yanyu. My father once told me that the meaning of her name was Uncle Gu’s wish for him and Auntie Yan to have an undying love.”

“What does this have to do with Fang Zhihan?” Yu Gangan asked confusedly.

“Auntie Yan and my brother’s mother were good friends. Before my brother and Gu Yanyu were born, the two of them already made a promise that if they gave birth to opposite genders then they would marry their children to each other and become family. So, as soon as Gu Yanyu was born, the two of them were engaged.”
