“I have thought of it on my own. Wasn’t it great?” Gu Nianjia exclaimed, proudly.
“I’ll give you one chance to tell the truth,” Gu Nianshen said, solemnly.
Gu Nianjia immediately gave in. “It was my sister-in-law. She said that I could use this opportunity to get back whatever she took from me. Apart from that, I could even let Mother know what kind of person she truly is. That’s why I have forced Song Feifei to say those things.”
Gu Nianshen did not seem surprised to hear what she said. In fact, he had already thought so before she confessed.
n.o.body but Lin Yiqian could have done it.
“What did you just call Lin Yiqian?” Gu Nianshen asked when he recalled that Gu Nianjia had addressed Lin Yiqian as her sister-in-law.
Why had Gu Nianjia changed the way she addressed Lin Yiqian?
When Gu Nianjia first said it, she thought nothing of it. However, now that she intentionally recalled what she had said, she began to shake her head in a reluctant manner. “She forced me to address her as ‘sister-in-law’. That was the only way she would help me punish Song Feifei. Not only would I not make Mother upset, she would even reprimand Song Feifei once they returned home.”
When Gu Nianjia saw how Song Feifei had left in tears, she felt that addressing Lin Yiqian as her sister-in-law was well worth it.
‘Hehe…’ The corners of Gu Nianshen’s mouth lifted after hearing Gu Nianjia’s words.
He was convinced that Gu Nianjia could not have come up with such a complex idea.
“Did she force you to call her that?” Gu Nianshen looked at Gu Nianjia with a disgusted expression.
“Do you think I would do it on my own initiative?” Gu Nianjia rolled her eyes as she lowered her head and interlaced her fingers.
When Gu Nianjia realized Gu Nianshen had become silent, she raised her head in confusion to find him grinning from ear to ear.
“Brother, what are you smiling at?” Gu Nianjia asked, confused.
“Go to bed,” Gu Nianshen immediately replied with a serious tone.
Then, he began walking up the stairs.
As soon as he walked past Lin Yiqian’s room, he stopped as he looked at the tightly shut door.
All of a sudden, his phone started ringing in his room. With his thoughts interrupted, he immediately picked the phone up in his room and closed the door as he did so.
“Boss, in regards to Song Feifei’s gossip, we are certain that someone has intentionally done this to her. All of the news was sent out at the same time. In fact, they were all done very professionally.
“Find out who did it,” Gu Nianshen said through gritted teeth.
The person had made Gu Nianshen the scapegoat.
To be honest, Gu Nianshen had started paying attention as soon as the gossip about Song Feifei came out. Rather than being concerned about Song Feifei, he was worried that the person who did it had ill intentions against Song Changwen.
“Should we take it all down?” The person on the line asked.
“Why are you in a rush?” Gu Nianshen asked with a frown.
Since Gu Nianshen was next to the door, he casually leaned against it.
Suddenly, the door to the room diagonally across from his opened. The familiar figure of a woman walked out of it as Gu Nianshen hurriedly ended his phone call. “I’ll give you a day’s time to find out who did it,” he stated firmly before hanging up.
Gu Nianshen noticed that Lin Yiqian was holding a cup of milk.
As Lin Yiqian calmly looked at him, she started walking toward the staircase without saying a word.
“Lin Yiqian,” Gu Nianshen called out.
As she bit her lip and secretly smiled, Lin Yiqian stopped walking.
“What’s the matter?” She turned her head around and pretended to be cool.
Despite having open his mouth, Gu Nianshen could not find the words to explain why he had called her name. Finally, his gaze landed on the gla.s.s of milk in her hand.
“Why are you still drinking milk? You’re already very fat,” he said, reflexively.
