Chapter 347: Who Was Framing Her? (15)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
But on the day Li Yufeng called the designer to the house, and when the designer had said that the designs that had been sent to the manufacturers weren’t hers, Li Yufeng’s expression had been one of shock.
Wait…
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed as she finally recalled…
There had been something fishy about Li Yufeng’s expression!
Li Yufeng had looked as if she had thought of something, and then, without a word, had slapped Gu Xingshan. Before Gu Xingshan had had time to regain her composure, she had locked Gu Xingshan up.
So… she had been trying to protect someone.
Feeling as if she had just made a huge discovery, Zhuang Nainai began to breathe hard.
Even though she had never interacted much with Li Yufeng, Zhuang Nainai knew how well Li Yufeng treated her daughter. Li Yufeng loved both Gu Xinghao and Gu Xingshan deeply, so who was it that was able to make her hurt her own beloved daughter?
Who was this person? And why did he or she switch the design drafts, framing Zhuang Nainai?
Zhuang Nainai’s fatigue faded away. Standing up, she looked at Gu Xinghao. “Gu Xinghao, who is Gu Qingyan?”
She had never suspected that she wasn’t Gu Qingyan. Having taken Gu Deshou’s DNA and anonymously conducted her own DNA test, she was sure that Gu Deshou was her father. But as for Li Yufeng… maybe Mother Zhuang was her biological mother!
Gu Xinghao was stumped by the question. Stunned, he asked, “What?”
Zhuang Nainai fixed her gaze on him. “I’m not Gu Qingyan. Am I right?”
Gu Xinghao was utterly confused. “Huh?”
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists and stepped forward. “Is Gu Qingyan actually someone else? And was I never Li Yufeng’s daughter?”
Gu Xinghao finally understood what Zhuang Nainai was saying. Studying her from head to toe, he burst out laughing. “Gu Qingyan, there must be something wrong with you! If you had said that Gu Xingshan wasn’t our mother’s child, I might have believed you. But you? Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror — you’re the spitting image of Mother!”
This made Zhuang Nainai abandon her atrocious thoughts.
That was true — she looked nothing like Mother Zhuang, yet she looked somewhat similar to Li Yufeng. What was she thinking?
Zhuang Nainai sighed while Gu Xinghao held back his laughter. “Oh dear, Gu Qingyan, I’ll go back home to ask Mother to treat you better. If you’ll stop a.s.sociating yourself with the mistress, though, I’m sure she’ll definitely treat you better.”
Treat her better?
She stared at Gu Xinghao coldly. “I don’t care for that, thank you. You can get out now.”
Having said that, she slammed her room door shut.
Gu Xinghao was speechless.
Su Yanbin was just as speechless.
Su Yanbin’s face darkened. d.a.m.n, he had been looking after her since morning, and yet this was his reward? Getting a door slammed in his face?
Angrily, he began knocking on the door.
Just as he was feeling sour, the room door opened again. Zhuang Nainai’s face was one of confusion. “Su Yanbin? What are you doing here?”
Su Yanbin was flabbergasted.
How mediocre was he to her!? He had been here for such a long time and yet she hadn’t even noticed?
Zhuang Nainai stepped aside and made way for him to enter. Su Yanbin stepped in and unabashedly took his seat on the sofa. Just then, the door opened once more.
Lin Xi’er walked in, carrying breakfast. “Oh Nainai, you’re awake! Your complexion has been too pale recently, so I bought some blood. We can have steamboat and duck’s blood as a way for you to get some nourishment!”
