Digging into the past

While Gu Rong was recovering in the hospital, Chyou took it upon herself to investigate Duan Ren's past and her motives for approaching Yating.

From a cursory glance, she learned that she had received a big chunk of alimony money from Gu Rong when they had divorced. It was huge enough to comfortably last for many years to come.

Chyou blinked.

Strange. The money…seems a little too excessive.

The information further stated that there was barely any custody battle for Yating. Gu Rong easily got it because Duan Ren had no interest in taking the child with her.

Chyou's gaze turned cold.

How could any mother be this cruel? She didn't put up a fight at all for Yating?

She touched her chin.

"They could have also held joint custody, right? But even that route wasn't taken. Why did she completely cut herself off from Yating's life like that?"
