‘Ah, human nature! Something that could never stand up to the test,’ Yun Liu thought. She turned to Zheng Xiu and said, “Mom! This had nothing to do with me! I was there because I had an appointment with Shi Xiu to discuss some matters. She only agreed to cooperate because of Shi Nian.” Yun Liu stared at her mother with tearful eyes, the very picture of pitiful fragility.
She was taking a bet. As expected, Zheng Xiu’s eyes flashed when she heard Shi Nian’s name. She walked over and took Yun Liu’s hand. Without even sparing a glance at Chang Hui, she turned to Bai Jie and said, “Sister-in-law, Yun Liu has always been well-behaved. There’s no way she would deliberately set Gu Fei up. This is all a misunderstanding!”
Bai Jie replied icily, “I don’t care if it’s a misunderstanding or not. I want a solution! Yun Liu, you have to suppress the public opinion and prove Gu Fei’s innocence! Otherwise… pack your bags and scram!”
‘Yet another person telling me to get out of the Gu family,’ Yun Liu thought, her heart turning cold.
Zheng Xiu quickly took a few steps forward and approached Bai Jie before lowering her voice to say, “Sister-in-law, Yun Liu has gotten quite close to the Shi family recently.”
Bai Jie glanced at Zheng Xiu and Yun Liu in confusion. Zheng Xiu quickly pulled Yun Liu over and smiled subserviently as she uttered, “Bai Jie, Yun Liu helped Shi Nian with a very important favor, you see. The Shi family has been treating her like a distinguished guest recently. Even Shi Xiu is willing to work with her because of that.”
Zheng Xiu looked around and lowered her voice even further: “Rumor has it that Shi Nian and Yun Nan’s relationship has gone sour, and they’re currently in a stalemate. Now, Shi Nian and Yun Liu…”
Zheng Xiu didn’t continue. Instead, she stared at Bai Jie fervently. Bai Jie’s face was filled with disbelief as she sized Yun Liu up. Yun Liu pursed her lips and didn’t speak.
Chang Hui couldn’t hear what Zheng Xiu said clearly. Seeing Bai Jie’s expression ease up, she had a bad feeling and quickly came over to listen in. However, Zheng Xiu stopped there and didn’t continue.
“Are you saying that Shi Nian will get a divorce?” Bai Jie asked uncertainly. Zheng Xiu smiled and didn’t say anything, so Bai Jie turned to ask Yun Liu, “Shi Nian has feelings for you?”
