Chapter 2158
- Upon Ye Jianguo's return to Beijing from Dongfeng County, he found himself at a crucial point in his career advancement. A single step forward could lead to great success. However, if news had surfaced at that time about his extramarital affair and illegitimate child, it would have spelled disaster for him, leaving him with no hope for the future.
- During those times, the repercussions for someone of his stature engaging in such relationships were severe. He could have been stripped of his position, publicly criticized, or even imprisoned.
- Therefore, Ye Jianguo chose to keep the matter hidden and refrained from letting anyone know. He acted as though it never happened. He avoided returning to Dongfeng County to see the girl and went out of his way to steer clear of any news about her.
