Shi Nuan felt heavy-hearted as she went downstairs again.
Actually, Li Guirong's affair didn't surprise Shi Nuan.
She never believed that Li Guirong's feelings for Father were love.
Nor did she ever think Father felt love for Li Guirong.
Their relationship was sustained by money and power on one side, and on the other, for Shi Tianchao's sake.
Father valued sons over daughters and desperately wanted a son. She was almost sure that if Li Guirong hadn't given birth to Shi Tianchao, Father would never have married Li Guirong.
Of course, this doesn't mean Father wouldn't marry at all; he would marry another woman.
A woman who could give him a son.
As for his feelings towards Mother, perhaps there was love, but that love was too fragile and thin.
A woman's full-hearted care and love were not even as important as having a son.
This love was shallow and laughable.
