Gu Baichuan admitted that when he initially hired someone to monitor Father Dong and uncover his affair and illegitimate child, he intentionally did so to vent Dong Shanshan's anger.
If Father Dong had fulfilled even a fraction of his responsibilities as a father, Dong Shanshan's upbringing wouldn't have been so miserable.
In any case, his current predicament is purely self-inflicted.
Before remarrying Dong Shanshan, Gu Baichuan had a deep conversation with his parents.
He didn't hold back when describing Dong Shanshan's family situation.
Gu Baichuan's parents were sensible people. As soon as they heard this, they understood his intentions.
While business alliances were important, if their son could find someone to spend his life with, that was just as valuable.
As for the partnership with the Dong Family, if it worked out, that would be a bonus. If not, the Gu Family wouldn't suffer any loss.
