Sir, How About A Marriage? Chapter 777

Chapter 777: Relief

“Gao Xue was naturally shocked. She asked Gao Bing what happened, but Gao Bing chased her out. Nonetheless, Gao Xue had already seen the bruises on Gao Bing’s body. However, due to Gao Bing’s agitated mood, she didn’t dare to ask too much. She could only call Yin Zheng to ask about what happened. Yin Zheng said he didn’t know. He said there were many people, and he wasn’t by Gao Bing’s side. Hence, Gao Xue called Yin Jian to ask about the matter, but Yin Jian’s response was the same. Gao Xue didn’t give up and called Guan Tang and Yin Yi. Guan Tang said she left early while Yin Yi’s reply was the same as Yin Zheng and Yin Jian. No one knew what happened to Gao Bing. Nonetheless, Gao Xue knew something serious must have happened so she called me and my husband.”

“My husband and I knew something was very wrong as soon as we heard Gao Xue’s words. When we spoke to Gao Bing, she refused to tell us what had happened. However, we’re not fools. No matter how ignorant we were, we could still vaguely guess what had happened. My husband is upright and honest. He couldn’t accept that his daughter had been dragged to such a dark place. In the heat of the moment, he slapped Gao Bing.”

“Although our daughters aren’t related to us by blood, we treated them like our precious treasure. We’d never laid our hands on them before. Everyone was shocked by the slap at that time. My husband instantly regretted his outburst and felt guilty. On the other hand, Gao Bing kneeled immediately and kowtowed to us as she apologized.”

“My husband had a heart attack at that time and had to stay in the ICU for a week before his condition finally stabilized. During that week, it was as though Gao Bing had lost her soul. She rarely spoke when we saw her. However, everyone’s attention was focused on my husband at that time, and we didn’t pay much attention to her.”

“Only when my husband’s condition stabilized that we spoke to Gao Bing again. Before my husband regained consciousness, Gao Xue and I asked Gao Bing about what had happened again.”

“Again, Gao Bing told us casually that she met a wealthy young man who used to pursue her and that he had embarra.s.sed her that night. She said nothing big had happened and that she was just unhappy at being embarra.s.sed. No matter how many times we asked, she gave us the same answer.”

“Gao Xue and I didn’t know if we should believe Gao Bing. In the end, Gao Xue said she was going to ask Yin Zheng and Yin Jian about it again. Upon hearing that, Gao Bing hurriedly stopped Gao Xue and made Gao Xue promise her to not a.s.sociate with the Yin brothers ever again. This made Gao Xue and I even more suspicious. Gao Bing even used her life to threaten Gao Xue into promising her not to a.s.sociate with the Yin brothers.”

“After that, I sent Gao Xue away so I could speak to Gao Bing alone. I told her that after my husband’s brush with death, I understood even more that nothing was more important than being alive. I told her that no matter what happened, I would accept it and support her. I told her that I wouldn’t allow her to be wronged and that I’d fight to the death with whoever dared to harm her. I told her that I’d definitely protect her!”

“Gao Bing cried bitterly and threw herself into my arms after hearing those words, but she still didn’t say anything. I didn’t force her as well. At that point, I was already certain that she must have been sullied. For a family like ours, it was difficult to talk about such things. In the end, I gave her time to process the matter and slowly adjust herself. I believe that she was strong and smart and that she would learn to overcome the matter.”

“When my husband woke up, I told him about what happened. After that, I told him that nothing was important as long as our family was healthy and together.”

…

“Initially, my husband couldn’t accept it, but later, he calmed down. After all, Gao Bing was one of his beloved daughters. It was only when he calmed down that Gao Bing dared to see her father. Gao Xue and I finally heaved a sigh of relief when we saw my husband and Gao Bing hugging and crying.”
