Rebirth: Pampered Wife’s Counterattack Chapter 881 - Happy Ending (14)

With a glance of admiration toward Fang Xinxin, he pressed on. “Guan Jiping snapped that picture right in the Long family’s courtyard. Two decades back, he served as a servant for the Long family and gained the approval of your grandfather, Long Jingyuan. Eventually, he expressed his desire to launch his own venture and quit. At that time, Director Long Jingyuan provided him with funds to kickstart his business. Yet, once he departed from the Long family, he cut off all ties with its members.”

Bai Qinghao shifted his attention to the second image.

The picture showed Guan Jiping in his twenties, embracing a stunning young lady.

Her braided hair framed elegant, striking features that rang a bell.

Bai Qinghao spotted her right away. “This woman here… she’s Huang Zhishu?”

Fang Xinxin examined it closely. Huang Zhishu usually dressed elegantly and richly, often with her hair styled in a bun.

Still, the lady in the photo bore a striking likeness to Huang Zhishu.

She looked over at Bai Qinghao. “Hubby, that’s definitely your aunt, Huang Zhishu. Guan Jiping’s connection to her runs deeper than it seems.”

A shadow fell over Bai Qinghao’s eyes.

Liu Li launched into his thorough briefing. “Over recent years, Guan Jiping has handled all sorts of manual labor gigs. Lately, he’s been delivering goods. His handful of pals describe him as peaceful and satisfied. Scanning those years, nothing stands out as odd. I went to his hometown and chatted with nearly everyone who knows him. That’s when I learned he once worked as a servant for the Long family. Plus, a relative mentioned he dated a girl during his time there. Guan Jiping had even declared plans to wed her. These two shots are what he sent his parents long ago. For some reason, he never married her and left the Long family job. After his parents died, he quit visiting home. I dug these photos out of a metal box under his parents’ bed in their former house.”

Bai Qinghao’s brow furrowed in a chill query. “And Huang Zhishu?”

“Huang Zhishu came from humble beginnings. Her former neighbors all recall her as shy and modest. But after flunking her high school exams, she vanished for three years. Rumors said she ran off with a thug. Three years on, Huang Zhishu came back, claiming she’d just gone elsewhere for work. She insisted she remained pure and untouched by romance. With the Huang family’s solid name, folks held their tongues. Shortly after, she introduced Boss’s Uncle, Bai Pu, to her folks. Then she wed into the Bai family.”

Liu Li took a brief pause before going on. “Your humble servant also learned from Qian Yang, who drove for Boss’s Uncle back in the day, that Bai Pu had a sweetheart named Hu Lewei before tying the knot with Huang Zhishu. They were madly in love. Yet Bai Pu loved playing the field and chasing skirts. One night, dead drunk, he tumbled hard. Huang Zhishu rushed him to the clinic and nursed him tenderly. That sparked their closeness. She often helped at the orphanage, and Bai Pu tagged along sometimes. Spending time with the kids there, they took a shine to a boy called Huan Huan and a girl named Xixi. Qian Yang admits as just the driver, he didn’t catch all the details of what happened between them.”
