CHAPTER 786: CHAPTER 788: WHERE DID YOU HIDE MY DAUGHTER?

"Cheng Hao!" Luo Yufeng, Zou Yaru’s mother, burst forward like a madwoman the moment she saw Cheng Hao and, clutching his hand, demanded, "Where have you hidden my daughter? Tell me, where have you hidden my daughter?"

Luo Yufeng looked at Cheng Hao crazily. In this period without news of her daughter, she had searched everywhere she could think of but had found not a single trace of her.

When they asked the Gu Family about their daughter, Gu Junhe had changed his previous attitude and only said that Zou Yaru was unchaste, had aborted his child, and run off with someone else. Gu Junhe even turned around and caused trouble for the Zou Family.

Zou’s father and Luo Yufeng were both infuriated. The couple discussed it and, fearing that Zou Yaru might really have gone to Ningbei to find Cheng Hao, they made a special trip there, but unfortunately, they found no news at all.

"I haven’t hidden her." Cheng Hao looked calmly at Luo Yufeng, still remembering how she had looked at him with disdain, very dissatisfied with him. Yet, what sort of son-in-law had they chosen for Yaru?

"You’re lying. Yaru clearly went to Ningbei to find you," Luo Yufeng accused him, saying, "If it weren’t for her being unable to forget you, why would she possibly..."

"You knew from the start that Yaru and I were deeply in love, yet you insisted on tearing us apart. Now that Yaru and Gu Junhe have reached this point, isn’t it your responsibility?" Cheng Hao, each time he thought of this matter, felt a pain so intense he could barely breathe, and although time had passed, allowing him to recall these memories calmly, occasionally, he still felt melancholic.

"You’re talking nonsense, what’s wrong with Junhe, he..."

Luo Yufeng’s words were cut off by Cheng Hao, who looked at her sharply and said, "Right, Gu Junhe is so great, great enough to hit Yaru, knowing she was pregnant and still treating her that way. That is the great son-in-law you chose."

"It’s actually a good thing that Yaru left. Otherwise, she would have been driven to her death by you sooner or later." Cheng Hao took a deep breath, thinking of the pale-faced Zou Yaru he had seen before and felt that her leaving the Zou Family was the right decision.

"You’re talking nonsense." Luo Yufeng was obviously infuriated by Cheng Hao’s words. She said, "We are Yaru’s parents, how could we possibly harm her? Living a good life with the Gu Family is surely better than being with a poor driver like you, isn’t it?"

"In any marriage, aren’t there ups and downs?" Luo Yufeng said, as if trying to convince herself. She continued, "It’s all your fault. You’re incompetent and still want to bring disaster upon my Yaru. Tell me, did you hide Yaru?"

"Hah." Cheng Hao’s lips curled into a mocking smile, sarcastic even at this moment for Luo Yufeng’s defense of the Gu Family.

If he didn’t know the actual situation, Cheng Hao would have thought he had made a mistake. Looking at Luo Yufeng, pretending to have Yaru’s best interests at heart, he found it absurd. Ostensibly acting for the good of their daughter, but in reality, wasn’t it all for themselves?

"What are you laughing at? Hand over my daughter now, or I’m going to call the police!" Luo Yufeng warned through gritted teeth.

As expected, Cheng Hao should have been scared. But his expression remained nonchalant. He stepped forward, looking down on her from above and said, "You can go ahead and call the police. But perhaps you should first address the unsavory dealings you have with the Gu Family?"

Luo Yufeng’s expression changed.

Cheng Hao took a step back, turned to leave, then paused and said, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I’m not just a poor driver. My family owns a printing press in Ningbei. It only earns a modest hundred thousand or so a year, but it’s enough to get by."
