Ch. 131..140
Chapter 131: What Other Secrets Are There? Ye Qingwan laughed coldly.
“Bai Shanshan, do you think you’re still the Bai family’s daughter and the top actress? Look at the voices on the Internet. You don’t have a choice, and you don’t have the capital to bargain with me.”
“Then don’t even think about getting evidence to avenge your parents.”
“I have already obtained a portion of the evidence. The other portion is only a matter of three to five months. However, if you cooperate with me, you might still be able to continue being the best actress. Otherwise, my public account and video account will be filled with scandals about you tomorrow.”
“I-I’ll give you evidence, but how can I believe that you’ll keep your word?”
Bai Shanshan thought for a few seconds and compromised.
“You can only trust me”
Ye Qingwan said indifferently,” Gu Shimo won’t listen to Zhao Qinlan. She can’t help you if you look for her. You should know that once the Bai family falls, it will be very difficult for you to survive in the entertainment industry.”
The hot search is less than an hour
She had already received a few calls to terminate her contract.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called Ye Qingwan.
“I’ll get you the evidence now.”
After Bai Shanshan finished speaking, she hung up.
Then, she went online to look at the comments that were scolding her.
She gritted her teeth and cursed,” Ye Qingwan, you bitch, you’ll die a horrible death.”
She dialed Zhao Qinlan’s number, but no one picked up.
She called the Gu residence’s landline again.
This time, the servant picked her up and Bai Shanshan looked for Zhao Qinlan.
The other party said that Zhao Qinlan had gone out to play cards.
Bai Shanshan knew that Zhao Qinlan was definitely avoiding her.
She said coldly,” Tell auntie that if she doesn’t answer my call, I’ll have to go to Ye Qingwan and tell her the cause of her parents ‘death.””
Zhao Qinlan was sitting on the sofa next to him.
Gu Ziyang was sitting beside her, scrolling through his phone.
The servant covered the phone and shouted at Zhao Qinlan, who was on the sofa,”Madam, Bai Shanshan said that if you don’t answer her call, she will go to Ye Qingwan and tell her that back then…”
“Give it to me.”
Zhao Qinlan’s expression suddenly changed as she interrupted the servant. She threw away the fruit in her hand and picked up the phone.
“Shanshan, I’ll call you later.”
After saying this, Zhao Qinlan hung up the phone.
She turned around and saw that Gu Ziyang had already lifted his head from the magazine and was looking at her inquisitively.
“Mom, what does Bai Shanshan want to talk to Wanwan about?”
Gu Ziyang’s handsome eyes were filled with doubt.
His black eyes stared fixedly at Zhao Qinlan.
“What else can Bai Shanshan say? Of course, she said that when she moved into our house, she promised not to covet anything that didn’t belong to her.””
But now, that little slut was the most annoying.
Gu Ziyang frowned unhappily.” Mom, what do you mean by not wanting what belongs to you? Is there something I don’t know?”
“No, there’s nothing you don’t know.”
“I’ll call her and ask.”
Gu Ziyang put down the magazine and took out his phone to make a call.
Before he could dial the number, Zhao Qinlan pounced over and snatched his phone.
Her tone was slightly flustered, and a woman like Bai Ziyang and Bai Shanshan couldn’t say a single word of truth. And she hates Ye Qingwan so much. Did you call her to hear her scold Ye Qingwan?”
“Mom.”
Gu Ziyang’s brows furrowed even more tightly.
He looked into Zhao Qinlan’s eyes and slowly asked,”Is there something I don’t know? Back then, you forced my brother to get engaged to Bai Shanshan and then forced him to marry Bai Shanshan.” Could it be that this isn’t because you like Bai Shanshan, but because there are secrets between the two of you that we don’t know?”
Zhao Qinlan’s face turned pale.
She looked at Gu Ziyang with a pained expression and complained,” It’s not like that, Ziyang. Your father abandoned the family for his mistress, and your brother almost cut ties with me because of Ye Qingwan. Don’t you trust your mother anymore?””
Chapter 132: If You Don’t Tell Me, You’ll Be Fired Gu Ziyang looked at Zhao Qinlan’s hateful expression and said,” I believe you.””
“Then don’t let your imagination run wild. With the current situation of the Bai family, I definitely won’t let Bai Shanshan marry your brother again. I’ll go upstairs and call her back to make things clear.”
Zhao Qinlan’s genuine feelings in front of Gu Ziyang convinced Gu Ziyang to trust her.
He pursed his lips and looked at Zhao Qinlan with a complicated expression.
She recalled that day when she said that the safe had been broken into and that something had been stolen.
He even thought that it was Wanwan’s doing.
He tightened his grip on his phone.
Gu Ziyang was not a fool.
He knew that Zhao Qinlan wasn’t lying when she said that the safe was broken.
In the past two days, he had carefully recalled.
After Wanwan returned that day, his brother called him.
She even pulled him and talked to him for a long time, not letting him go upstairs to call Wanwan.
So, Wanwan really might have taken something, and his brother knew about this.
What was it?
“Auntie Zhao.”
Gu Ziyang stopped the servant who had walked a few meters away.
The other party’s back stiffened.
She turned around and called out to him anxiously,” Second Young Master, what’s the matter?”
Gu Ziyang stood up and walked to Auntie Zhao. He looked at her nervous face with her head lowered.
His dark eyes narrowed.
“What did Bai Shanshan ask you to tell her just now?””
“Second Young Master, it’s, it’s nothing.”
Auntie Zhao wanted to lower her head to her feet.
In this house, Zhao Qinlan had the final say. If the other party didn’t allow her to say anything, how could she dare to say it again?
Gu Ziyang snorted coldly, and his usually gentle eyebrows instantly turned cold.
” Auntie Zhao, although my mother is in charge of this family, I can still fire you if I want to.””
“Second Young Master, it’s not that I don’t want to say it, but Madam doesn’t allow it. If I say it, I’ll still be fired by Madam.”
Auntie Zhao’s voice trembled.
Gritting her teeth, she pleaded,” Second Young Master, please don’t make things difficult for me, a servant, and don’t fire me. I’m still counting on this salary to support my two children’s education…”
“I won’t tell my mom. There’s only the two of us here now.”
Gu Ziyang threatened.
The coldness between his brows did not ease at all.
“If you don’t tell me, I don’t care if you provide for the child or not. Pack your things, get the money, and leave the Gu residence now.”
“I’ll talk.”
Auntie Zhao was about to cry.
She looked up timidly at Gu Ziyang,” Second Young Master, you must not tell Madam that I told you, okay?”
“Alright.”
Gu Ziyang pointed at the balcony.
Then, he went to the balcony first.
In this way, even if his mother came down from upstairs, she would not be able to hear their conversation immediately.
Auntie Zhao followed Gu Ziyang to the balcony.
Gu Ziyang’s slender body was leaning against the railing. Under the light, his handsome facial features hid his usual gentleness and warmth. He made people feel that he was noble and could not be deceived.
“Tell me.”
“Bai Shanshan said…”
Auntie Zhao’s voice was very soft, but she repeated Bai Shanshan’s original words without missing a word.
Gu Ziyang’s expression turned cold after hearing her words.
After a moment of silence.
He spoke again, but his voice was emotionless.” How did my mom and Wanwan get along while I was away?”
“Replying to Second Young Master, Miss Wanwan only came back twice. One of them was the day I came to look for you.”
“What about the other time?”
Gu Ziyang asked in a deep voice.
Auntie Zhao had no choice but to say,” There was another time when Miss Wanwan came to our house to interview Bai Shanshan. That day, Bai Shanshan and Madam both wanted to hit Miss Wanwan. Say, she seduced the big, young master, say, the big.
“You can leave. Don’t tell my mother about this.”
“Yes.”
After Auntie Zhao left.
Gu Ziyang took a few deep breaths.
Only then did he calm down a little.
He dialed Gu Shimo’s number.
Chapter 133: I Wanted to Come and See You Gu Shimo’s phone was turned off.
Gu Ziyang pursed his lips and dialed Bai Shanshan’s number.
This time, during the call.
His mother was probably talking to Bai Shanshan on the phone upstairs.
Gu Ziyang left the living room, went to the garage, got into a car, and drove out of the villa.
Qingyun Wan.
Ye Qingwan worked for an hour before she finally had time to drink some water.
With her arms on the desk, she lowered her head and did eye exercises.
Leng Xiaoduan was outside taking the express delivery.
There were quite a few packages in the office today, and she had three for herself.
After signing, the elevator door opened before she could turn around. A slender and handsome man walked out.
Leng Xiaoduan recognized Gu Ziyang at a glance.
“Hello, can you call Ye Qingwan for me?”
Gu Ziyang’s polite and distant voice rang in the corridor.
Leng Xiaoduan nodded and said,” Wait a moment.””
He went into the office.
Two minutes later.
Leng Xiaoduan came out again and said to him,” Sister Qingwan wants you to go in.”
“Thank you.”
Gu Ziyang followed Leng Duan into the office building.
In the hall, countless pairs of eyes looked at him in amazement.
Leng Xiaoduan watched him enter Ye Qingwan’s office before closing the door for them and returning to work.
In the office.
Ye Qingwan asked Gu Ziyang to sit on the sofa and asked him if he wanted coffee or water.
Gu Ziyang looked at Ye Qingwan with a complicated expression. He was too distracted to hear what she said.
“Brother Ziyang.”
Ye Qingwan shouted again.
Only then did he come back to his senses.
Ye Qingwan poured him a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
She sat down in front of another sofa.” Brother Ziyang, why are you here?”
“I just wanted to see you.”
Gu Ziyang’s smile was especially modest.
Ye Qingwan smiled faintly.” What’s there to see?””
Wanwan, are you busy?”
Gu Ziyang asked instead of answering.
Ye Qingwan raised her eyebrows.” Just say it.””
Ye Qingwan couldn’t be cold to someone like Gu Ziyang.
However, because of his mother, he was still a little more distant than before.
“I want to have a meal with you.”
Gu Ziyang wanted to say that he wanted to go with her to visit her parents.
However, when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she changed her words.
On the way here, he had been thinking about what Bai Shanshan meant.
Could it be that the car accident back then had something to do with his mother?
If that was the case, then his mother was a murderer.
On the surface, the Gu family adopted Wanwan, but in reality, they caused her family to be destroyed.
He couldn’t accept the truth.
“Alright.”
Ye Qingwan hesitated and agreed.
Gu Ziyang smiled again. His smile was not bright, but it was very gentle.
“Wanwan, go back to work first. I’ll wait for you here and we’ll have lunch together.”
Ye Qingwan nodded.
He returned to his desk and continued his unfinished work.
Gu Ziyang was sitting on the sofa in her office.
Because the office was not big, the sofa was not far from the desk.
He gently looked at her serious work, and an indescribable emotion rose in his heart.
11:30.
Ye Qingwan turned off her computer and came out from behind her desk. She called Gu Ziyang to eat.
“Wanwan, shall we go to 1587?”
After getting into the car, Gu Yang watched Ye Qingwan fasten her seatbelt and asked gently.
Ye Qingwan nodded.” Alright.””
On the way, Gu Ziyang focused on driving while Ye Qingwan looked out of the car window.
It was 1587.
The two of them chose a private room on the third floor. After ordering the dishes, the waiter left the private room.
Gu Ziyang elegantly poured the water and placed it in front of Ye Qingwan.
His gentle gaze landed on her.” Wanwan, did you know that the Bai family went bankrupt?”
Chapter 134: Meeting Up Ye Qingwan blinked. When she met Gu Ziyang’s gentle eyes, she said uninterestedly,” I saw it.””
“When I came out, Bai Shanshan was calling my mom. I don’t know if she wanted my brother to help the Bai family through my mom.”
As Gu Ziyang said this, he carefully observed the changes in Ye Qingwan’s expression.
Her eyes changed slightly.
Then, he smiled as if it had nothing to do with him.
Lowering her eyes, she picked up a cup of water to drink.
“Wanwan, do you know if the Bai family’s bankruptcy was my brother’s doing?”
“I don’t know.”
Ye Qingwan held the cup, her eyes as calm as water.
“My brother’s phone was switched off when I called him. Is he on a business trip again?”
Gu Ziyang changed the topic.
Ye Qingwan nodded.” Yes.”
—-
In the Bai family.
When Bai Shanshan went downstairs, she heard her parents fighting for some reason.
Bai Ruixing pulled her mother’s hair and threw her to the ground. She got up and continued to fight with him.
She stood in the stairwell and looked at the scene in the living room coldly. Other than disgust, there was no other emotion.
Bai Shanshan’s mother looked up and saw her. She shouted,” Shanshan, come down quickly. Your father is going to kill me.””
Bai Shanshan went downstairs.
But not to stop the fight.
She quickly walked out of the living room, afraid that she would be pulled back if she walked any slower.
As soon as she walked out of the living room, she saw a few police officers getting out of the police car outside the villa.
He was here to bring Bai Ruixing along.
After Bai Ruixing was taken away, Mother Bai continued to cry.
“Can you stop crying? Can you get the Bai family’s company back by crying?””
Mother Bai looked at her with tears in her eyes.” Shanshan, what should we do in the future?”
“Don’t worry. After Shi Mo and I get married, you’ll still be the high and mighty wife of a wealthy family. Your quality of life won’t be affected.”
Bai Shanshan’s cold words were more like taunts than words of comfort.
She looked down on her parents.
It was because of their incompetence that she had not been able to marry Gu Shimo as she had wished for so many years.
If the Bai family was the richest family in South City, Gu Shimo would not have dared to ignore her for so many years.
In the end, she still had to rely on herself.
Then what use were they as parents?
Mother Bai held her hand excitedly.” Really?” Shanshan, won’t the Gu family abandon you just because we went bankrupt?”
Bai Shanshan glared at her coldly.”
“Shanshan, let’s move then. This place will be taken away by the court tomorrow. We’re moving to the Gu residence now. In any case, you and Shi Mo are going to hold your wedding in a few days, so you still have to stay at the Gu residence.”
“Let’s go to my apartment first. What’s the point of you staying at the Gu family’s house?”
“Okay, I can go to your apartment. I don’t want to be implicated by your father.”
Mother Bai let go of her hand and said,” Wait a moment. I’ll go pack.””
He quickly went upstairs.
An hour later.
Bai Shanshan settled Mother Bai in her apartment.
He then gave a bunch of instructions to his assistant.
Then, she put on a cap and a mask and went out.
She and Zhao Qinlan agreed to talk face to face.
—-
The two of them met up at a cafe.
Not far from the Gu residence, Zhao Qinlan left very late.
She had been thinking about how to avoid being threatened by Bai Shanshan.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he still could not come up with a good idea.
Bai Shanshan said that if anything happened to her, all her secrets would be revealed to the public in three days.
Zhao Qinlan walked into the cafe and saw Bai Shanshan sitting in the corner.
A hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes as she slowed down her pace.
“Auntie, please sit.”
Bai Shanshan was still polite and hypocritical.
For the sake of her secret, Zhao Qinlan didn’t dare to fall out with Bai Shanshan.
However, after staring at her for a while, he frowned and pretended to be concerned.” Shanshan, what happened to your face? Why is there a bruise? Who hit you?””
Chapter 135: Kidnapping Ye Zixi That was Liu Yunzhi, that scum.
However, the other party was already dead. She said calmly,” It was Liu Yunzhi who hit me. He threatened me to marry him, but I didn’t agree. He also had to thank his aunt for making him disappear from this world.”
“His death has nothing to do with me, so don’t thank me.”
Zhao Qinlan waved her hands in denial.
Bai Shanshan didn’t care if she did it. She just needed evidence to help her.
She said with a fake smile,” Didn’t Auntie make him take the medicine before he lost his mind and crashed into someone? Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”
“Bai Shanshan, don’t frame me.”
Zhao Qinlan was suddenly annoyed.
Bai Shanshan wanted to pour sh * t on her.
How could she be willing?
Bai Shanshan raised her eyebrows. You even dared to admit that you killed Ye Bocheng and Lu Yarou 15 years ago. But now, he didn’t dare to. Was he becoming more and more timid?”
“Hmph, I didn’t kill anyone. Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Auntie, I kept the recording of our conversation as evidence. If you hadn’t denied it this time, it wouldn’t be you.”
More than ten years ago, she had used her phone to record the recording.
Not to mention now.
Zhao Qinlan thought that she would let it go if she didn’t admit it.
She just didn’t want to give the recording to Ye Qingwan, so she wanted to record a few sentences to brush her off.
“Auntie, I didn’t look for you today to ask you to help the Bai family. My family’s company is already bankrupt. There’s nothing to save. I just want you to do me a favor.”
“What favor?”
Zhao Qinlan asked cautiously.
Bai Shanshan lowered her voice and said,”I don’t want Ye Qingwan to hinder my wedding with Shi Mo.” Didn’t Auntie hate Ye Qingwan too? Why don’t we help me get rid of her?”
“No.”
Zhao Qinlan refused.” Ye Qingwan had bodyguards with her and experienced the kidnapping five years ago. She won’t fall for it again.”
“Isn’t there still Ye Zixi?”
Bai Shanshan’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
Her biggest regret was that she couldn’t make Ye Qingwan miscarry and die five years ago.
Ye Qingwan, that bitch, dared to threaten her.
She originally wanted to come up with a foolproof plan.
But now, time did not allow it.
The bankruptcy of the Bai family had cut off her future.
“Ye Zixi is sent to and from school by Gu Feng every day.”
“Fifteen years ago, Auntie was able to design such a flawless car accident. A few days ago, she was able to make Liu Yunzhi die in a car accident. Ye Zixi was just a little kid. How could he possibly be able to stump Auntie?”
“Now is not the time.”
Zhao Qinlan looked at the hatred in Bai Shanshan’s eyes.
He was calculating in his heart.
This time, she wanted Bai Shanshan to do it herself.
If she could get rid of Ye Qingwan and Ye Zixi, then it would be worth it for Bai Shanshan to die.
Thinking of this…
Zhao Qinlan comforted her again,”Shanshan, Shi Mo has gone on a business trip. His phone is switched off when I call him.” When he comes back from his business trip, your wedding date will be here. Ye Qingwan and Ye Zixi’s existence is indeed your biggest obstacle, but I haven’t thought of a good plan yet.”
“What if I tell auntie what to do?”
“You tell me?”
“That’s right. As long as Auntie does as I say, she’ll be able to get rid of Ye Zixi without anyone knowing.”
“After getting rid of Zixi, Shi Mo will only be sad. How can he hold a wedding with you?”
“Then, let Shi Mo not be able to find him.”
—-
Ye Qingwan could clearly feel Gu Ziyang’s hesitation on the way back to the company.
When she opened the car door and got out of the car, Gu Ziyang called out to her,” Wanwan.”
She turned around and saw him frowning with a complicated look in his eyes.
Chapter 136: The Tang Family in the Capital “Brother Ziyang, is there anything else?”
Ye Qingwan looked at Gu Ziyang and asked lightly.
Gu Ziyang shook his head. In the end, he could not bring himself to say it.” It’s fine. Go up.””
“Brother Ziyang, have you thought about going abroad again?”
Ye Qingwan still had one hand on the door handle.
The voice that came out of her mouth was calm and indifferent, as if it was just a casual question.
Gu Ziyang’s heart skipped a beat.
His eyes flickered and he asked in surprise,” Wanwan, why are you asking this? Don’t you want me to stay in South City?”
Ye Qingwan smiled.” No, I’m just asking. Aren’t you afraid that Auntie will urge you to get married if you stay in South City?””
“Not yet. My mother might only be thinking about my brother recently and has not thought about me.”
Gu Ziyang said.
Ye Qingwan closed her eyes and stopped looking at him.
Zhao Qinlan was indeed only thinking about Gu Shimo and Bai Shanshan’s wedding.
Did she know that the child Bai Shanshan miscarried back then was not Gu Shimo’s? Out of revenge, she wanted Gu Shimo to marry Bai Shanshan even more.
Ye Qingwan felt that this was the case.
“Wanwan.”
Gu Ziyang’s voice pulled her back to reality.
Ye Qingwan looked up and met his gaze.” Brother Ziyang, I’ll go up first. Be careful on the road.””
“Alright.”
Gu Ziyang watched Ye Qingwan get out of the car and enter the building.
Only then did he start the car.
—-
Instead of going home directly, he went to the cemetery to visit Ye Bocheng and Lu Yarou.
I saw Leng Xiao in the cemetery.
Gu Ziyang sat in the car and watched Leng Xiao come down from the stone steps.
Leng Xiao did not see him.
Gu Ziyang stopped in front of Ye Bocheng and Lu Yarou’s tombstones for about ten minutes.
When Ye Bocheng and Lu Yarou passed away, he was still a kid who didn’t know anything and didn’t have the ability to protect Ye Qingwan.
They also didn’t know that their deaths weren’t simply a car accident and suicide for love.
When he returned home, his mother, Zhao Qinlan, was not back yet. Gu Ziyang went back to his room and stayed there for the entire afternoon.
Zhao Qinlan didn’t see Gu Ziyang when she got home. He hadn’t come back since.
She was conflicted about whether she should just follow Bai Shanshan’s instructions and hide Ye Zixi to ensure that Gu Shimo and Bai Shanshan’s wedding went smoothly.
He hesitated for a long time.
She returned to her room, opened the safe, and took out the photo to look at it.
Zhao Qinlan was not afraid of losing those pills.
It’s been 15 years, and I’ve been in a bad position
Ye Qingwan didn’t have any evidence, so a few pills couldn’t do anything.
She was only worried that Ye Qingyu would suspect Gu Shimo’s identity. If Gu Shimo found out about her background, she would be able to tell Ye Qingyu.
If that happened, he would not trust her at all in the future.
Thinking of this…
Zhao Qinlan called the Tang family in Beijing.
After a few rings, the phone was picked up. The butler’s voice came through.” Hello.”
“Hello, I’m Zhao Qinlan. Is Mr. Tang here?”
“Our master went fishing and will only be back at night.”
Although he was just a butler, as the butler of one of the top ten families in the Imperial Capital, his tone was obviously arrogant when compared to Zhao Qinlan’s humble tone.
Zhao Qinlan smiled and said,” Then, I’ll look for Mr. Tang again tonight.””
” Mm.” The call was hung up.
Zhao Qinlan’s face sank.
When she thought about how it would be a wonderful thing if the Tang family got rid of Gu Shimo, she suppressed the displeasure in her heart.
He put the photo back into the safe.
Zhao Qinlan left the small room and sat on the sofa in the bedroom to make a call.
She asked her bodyguard, Mu Wei, to come up.
A few minutes later.
A tall middle-aged man knocked on Zhao Qinlan’s door.
It was Mu Wei.
The person she asked from the Zhao family yesterday was her brother Zhao Wenjue’s confidant.
Mu Wei came to the sofa and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,” Madam, what’s the matter?””
Chapter 137: Gu Ziyang’s Reminder Zhao Qinlan leaned against the back of the sofa and looked up at Mu Wei for a few seconds.
She sat up straight.” I want you to do something.”
“Madam, please instruct me.”
Mu Wei stood while Zhao Qinlan sat.
With his height, she was still fine when she leaned against the back of the sofa.
Now that he had straightened his body, he could see the color of her bra.
Zhao Qinlan had maintained herself well. She didn’t have a married life with Gu Xiao all these years. She had a good figure. Although she was 50 years old, she was very sexy.
Mu Wei, a man who had not remarried after his wife died for a few years, could not help but swallow his saliva.
Zhao Qinlan didn’t know what was going on in Mu Wei’s mind. She took out a photo of Ye Zixi and Gu Feng from her phone and turned the screen to Mu Wei for him to see.
“Get this kid out of here in three days.”
“Madam, is this child Gu Shimo’s son?”
Mu Wei had heard from Zhao Wenjue that Gu Shimo had an illegitimate child.
“Yes, that’s him. Gu Feng sends him to and from school every day. You have to take Ye Zixi away without him knowing.”
“Madam, is it enough to just take her away?”
“Take him to a place that no one knows about.”
“If he resisted, would it be okay if he accidentally hurt himself?”
Mu Wei carefully confirmed.
“It’s alright.”
A sinister light flashed across Zhao Qinlan’s eyes. If it was possible, she wanted to directly kill that little bastard.
But now was not the time.
She had to make Gu Shimo marry Bai Shanshan first so that Ye Qingwan would be disgusted.
After a few seconds, she added,” Try not to get too badly injured.”
“Alright, I understand.”
“Yes, you may leave.”
Zhao Qinlan waved her hand.
Mu Wei’s gaze remained on her.” Madam, I’ll add you on WeChat. If it’s inconvenient for you to call me in the future, you can send me a message to instruct me.””
“Alright.”
Zhao Qinlan asked him to scan the QR code.
—-
In the corridor outside.
Gu Ziyang could not believe what he had just heard.
Inside the house.
When Mu Wei came out, Gu Ziyang went into the guest room next door.
After Mu Wei left, he came out of the guest room.
He knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Zhao Qinlan thought that Mu Wei had something to do and returned.
She stood up. When she saw that it was Gu Ziyang who opened the door, her eyes flashed.
She smiled again.” Ziyang, what’s the matter?”
“Mom, who was that man just now?”
Gu Ziyang did not look too good.
Zhao Qinlan was stunned when she heard his words. She then smiled and said,” Ziyang, you’ve been overseas for a few years. Don’t you recognize him? He is your uncle’s Mu Wei. It hasn’t been peaceful at home recently, so I borrowed it. Didn’t I mention it to you yesterday?”
“Is it? I really don’t know him anymore.”
“Then I’ll let you meet him later.”
“No need.”
Gu Ziyang pursed his lips and said in a softer voice,” Mom, my dad isn’t home. You shouldn’t call the opposite sex upstairs in the future. If word gets out, it won’t be good if people gossip about you.””
” What are you thinking?”
Zhao Qinlan said angrily,” Am I that kind of person?”
Her expression turned cold again.” Although your father has a mistress outside and doesn’t come home, I won’t be like him.”
“I misunderstood, Mom. I apologize to you.”
Gu Ziyang apologized and asked casually,” Mom, why were you looking for Mu Wei just now?”
“I just wanted to talk to him about the security of the villa.”
—-
At night, when Gu Feng was having dinner, he received a call from Gu Ziyang.
He put down his chopsticks and answered the call.” Hello, Second Young Master.”
The four of them at the table heard him call Second Young Master and knew that it was Gu Ziyang.
They could not help but stop eating and look at Gu Feng.
Gu Ziyang’s voice came from the other end of the phone.” Gu Feng, my brother is on a business trip. Did he say when he would be back?”
Chapter 138: Bai Shanshan Exchanges Evidence Gu Feng replied,” I don’t know. Master didn’t say when he would be back.” Second Young Master, is there something you need from me?”
“There are only a few days left until his wedding. You have to be extra careful these few days.”
Gu Ziyang didn’t say what he wanted, but he reminded Gu Feng.
Gu Feng did not answer.
Gu Ziyang asked again,” Gu Feng, do you know the Zhao family’s bodyguard, Mu Wei?”
The Zhao Family was Zhao Qinlan’s maiden family.
Although Gu Feng was a bodyguard, he was not a complete stranger.
Moreover, he really knew Mu Wei.
Hence, she replied,” Second Young Master, I know him.”
“Arrange for someone to follow him. Also, remember, my brother isn’t here. You must be careful and protect Zixi and Wanwan.”
“Second young master, Mu Wei…”
“You don’t have to ask anything. Just remember my words.”
Gu Ziyang hung up the phone.
Gu Feng frowned and pondered.
The other four saw that he was not moving and asked with concern,” Brother Li, what’s wrong?”
“You guys eat first. The un-us will come back later.”
Gu Feng left the room to look for Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan had just come out of Zixi’s room.
Gu Feng called.” Miss Wanwan, did you rest?”
“Nothing, something happened?”
Ye Qingwan stood in the corridor and looked at the stairs a few steps away.
Gu Feng’s voice came from the phone.” Second Young Master called me just now and said something strange. I’m not sure, so I wanted to tell you.”
After hanging up, Ye Qingwan went down to the first floor.
Gu Feng happened to come in from outside.
He told Ye Qingwan what Gu Ziyang had said over the phone. Miss Wanwan, do you think Second Young Master will do something if he finds out?”
After what happened five years ago.
Gu Feng was very cautious about the safety of Ye Qingwan and Ye Zixi.
Ye Qingwan’s eyes were cold.” Check that Mu Wei.””
“Alright.”
Gu Feng nodded with a serious expression.
After Gu Feng left, Ye Qingwan called Gu Ziyang.
The phone rang twice and Gu Ziyang’s voice came through,” Wanwan.”
” Brother Ziyang, Gu Feng told me just now that you warned him to be careful of Mu Wei…”
Ye Qingwan spoke slowly and calmly.
He couldn’t hear much emotion.
However, Gu Ziyang felt ashamed.
He was silent for a few seconds before saying,” Wanwan, something happened to my cousin, Zhao Zhongtong. I heard it was my brother’s doing. I’m worried that they’ll hate you, and my brother and Bai Shanshan’s wedding date is only a few days away. You have to be careful these few days.”
Gu Ziyang didn’t know what to say.
Even though he tried his best to control his emotions, Ye Qingwan could still hear something strange.
Just like this afternoon.
He gave her the feeling that he wanted to say something but stopped.
” Okay,” Ye Qingwan replied.

After returning to his room.
Ye Qingwan sent a message to Bai Shanshan.[There’s still XX until midnight.]
Two minutes later.
Bai Shanshan called.
Ye Qingwan didn’t answer the call immediately.
She looked at the name flashing on the screen, her eyes cold.
It was only when the phone was about to stop ringing that her fair fingers pressed the answer button.
An indifferent ” Hello ” escaped from her red lips.
Bai Shanshan’s voice was heard.”
“Send it over.”
“Ye Qingwan, what if you don’t let me go?”
“Well, that’s up to you. If you want to see your scandal in the morning and see Gu Shimo’s breakup message tomorrow, then I’ll fulfill your wish.”
Ye Qingwan’s tone was as if it didn’t matter whether she posted it or not, since she was the one who was going to be finished.
Bai Shanshan gritted her teeth in hatred, but she couldn’t do anything about it.
She took a deep breath and said stiffly,” I’ll send it to you. Ye Qingwan, if you don’t admit it, I won’t let you off either.””
Chapter 139: Chapter 139-Intense Ye Qingwan received an audio file from Bai Shanshan.
In the quiet bedroom, Bai Shanshan and Zhao Qinlan’s conversation lingered in the air.
However, after listening to the recording.
Ye Qingwan had only heard Bai Shanshan say that Zhao Qinlan had drugged her mother fifteen years ago…Zhao Qinlan didn’t admit it herself.
Zhao Qinlan was threatened by Bai Shanshan.
But if she didn’t admit it herself, it didn’t seem to be evidence.
Even if Bai Shanshan was a witness, she was only a little girl at that time.
Ye Qingwan frowned and decided to ask her lawyer tomorrow.
His phone rang.
She opened WeChat and saw that it was a message from Lu Mingyu.
[Wanwan, I just went to your public account and saw many comments asking if you can promote the law. Do you have any ideas in this regard?]
Ye Qingwan blinked.
She also wanted to be introduced to the game.
Lu Mingyu came to ask about this.
She asked,[Senior, do you need help?]
Lu Mingyu sent a smiling emoji.
Then, he sent another voice message,” I have a lawyer, my own firm.” I’ve always wanted to introduce you to her, but I never had the chance. If you want to write an article about this, you can look for him anytime.”
Today, the public account posted an inspirational article about a small character. Because the protagonist in the article did not know the law, he suffered a huge loss.
Therefore, half of the comments were strongly requesting for more legal knowledge.
“I see. Then I’ll thank you in advance. How about tomorrow? Senior, you can ask your childhood friend if you’re free tomorrow. I happen to have some questions to ask too.”
“Alright, I’ll ask him now.”
A minute later.
Lu Mingyu replied to Ye Qingwan,” Wanwan, let’s meet at 1587 tomorrow afternoon. You’re familiar with that place.””
“Okay, tomorrow afternoon then.”

At the Gu residence.
Zhao Qinlan scrolled through the video while applying a facial mask.
Although she was over 50 years old, she had always followed fashion closely.
After watching the video for more than ten minutes, she washed her face and followed the steps of the blogger’s video to do skincare and massage.
Mu Wei sent her a message as soon as she got into bed.
[Madam, I’ve made two plans. I’ll go and take a look tomorrow before taking action.]
Mu Wei’s profile picture was a half-length photo of him.
He revealed his eight-pack abs, and even through the screen, he could feel his masculinity.
Zhao Qinlan was attracted to the big picture. After she exited, she replied to him,[You are not allowed to fail.]
Mu Wei immediately sent a voice message.” Don’t worry, Madam.””
Hearing the slight difference in his voice, Zhao Qinlan asked in confusion,[Are you exercising?]
“Yes, I have the habit of exercising every night. This avatar is the one I just changed. Madam, rest early. Good night.”
Zhao Qinlan knew that his profile picture had changed.
But she didn’t care about it before he said it.
Hearing Mu Wei’s explanation.
She didn’t know what was going on, but her heart felt warm for no reason.
She seemed to have been teased.
However, she wasn’t sure if Mu Wei was flirting with her or if she was overthinking things.
Zhao Qinlan’s hand followed her instructions and clicked on Mu Wei’s Moments. She saw his post from ten minutes ago.
In one sentence, it felt so good to sweat!
Below were nine pictures.
They were all the same when he was exercising.
Unlike the half-length photo of his head, these nine photos were all full-body photos.
In the photo, Mu Wei was only wearing a pair of shorts. There was sweat on his forehead and he had a good figure.
At first glance, it was filled with power and sexiness.
Zhao Qinlan swiped the photo back and forth to look at it several times, wanting to look at other photos.
She realized that he had set it to only display for three days.
It was a pity.
Zhao Qinlan felt her mouth go dry.
She poured herself a glass of water.
Lying back on the bed, Zhao Qinlan was no longer sleepy.
Thinking of Mu Wei’s photo, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
He also wanted to take two photos and post them on his WeChat Moments.
Chapter 140: Arrange for Someone to Guard Outside the School However, she didn’t usually have such a habit. After hesitating for a moment, she posed and took a selfie of herself lying on the bed.
Sexy pajamas, a proud figure, and well-maintained legs…
She thought about it and wrote a few words,”Sleep, good night.”]
Before he released it, he didn’t forget to let Gu Xiaoquan and Mu Wei see it.
She would never let Gu Ziyang see such a photo.

Early morning.
Ye Qingwan went downstairs and heard Gu Ziyang and Zixi talking on the sofa in the living room.
When she walked to the sofa, Gu Ziyang took the initiative to say,” Wanwan, I told Zixi that I’ll send him to school later.”
“Aren’t you busy?”
Ye Qingwan looked at Gu Ziyang with surprise.
He called to remind her last night.
This morning, she came to send Zixi to school.
Gu Ziyang smiled warmly.” I still have time.””
Gu Ziyang and Ye Qingwan had breakfast together.
Zi Xi finished eating first, slid down the chair and ran out of the restaurant.
Ye Qingwan asked casually,” Brother Ziyang, how’s Zhao Zhongtong’s case going?”
Gu Ziyang looked up and met her gaze. He explained gently,” The Zhao family is looking for people and lawyers everywhere, but this is my brother’s doing. They probably can’t do anything about it.”
“They didn’t take their anger out on you, did they?”
“My uncle wanted me to plead for mercy on Zhao Zhongtong’s behalf, but I refused.”
Gu Ziyang absolutely supported Gu Shimo on this matter.
Zhao Zhongtong’s actions were not worthy of him pleading for mercy.
Even if he didn’t offend Ye Qingwan, he wouldn’t plead for him.
“Then you have to be careful. They know that you and Brother Shi Mo have a good relationship. That Mu Wei might even use you to threaten Brother Shi Mo.”
“No, he’s with me now…”
Gu Ziyang did not finish his sentence.
Suddenly stopped.
Ye Qingwan blinked, lowered her eyes, and put the egg into her mouth.
Gu Ziyang explained,” The Joneses know about my brother because of you. Wanwan, they want to distance themselves from him. He had deliberately let Mu Wei go to the Gu residence to be in charge of security for the past few days.”
Gu Ziyang still could not believe that his mother was such a vicious woman.
He felt that there was some misunderstanding.
He didn’t want the relationship between Wanwan and his mother to worsen, so he told a small lie.
” Oh,” Ye Qingwan said lightly.
He didn’t continue asking.
On the way to school, Gu Ziyang sat in the passenger seat.
Ye Zixi and Ye Qingwan sat in the back row.
Along the way, he was paying attention to the situation around him.
When they arrived at school, he even personally escorted Ye Zixi into the classroom.
Gu Feng sent Ye Qingwan to the office. Gu Ziyang did not follow him. Instead, he went to the principal’s office.
“Gu Feng, arrange for two people to stand guard outside the school. Don’t let anyone get close to Zixi, especially Zhao Qinlan.”
Retracting her gaze from the window, Ye Qingwan said to Gu Feng, who was driving.
Gu Feng immediately replied,” Alright, Miss Wanwan.””
After a pause, she continued,” Mu Wei isn’t at the Zhao family’s residence. He was brought to the Gu residence the day before yesterday. Miss Wanwan, if Mu Wei wanted to lay a hand on Little Master Zixi…This should be Zhao Qinlan’s intention, right?”
Last night, Gu Feng had investigated Mu Wei overnight.
She found out that he was at the Gu residence now.
Ye Qingwan didn’t immediately answer Gu Feng’s speculation.
She pursed her lips, and a layer of coldness condensed in her slightly narrowed eyes.
She did not believe what Gu Ziyang had said about the Zhao family.
Zhao Qinlan was Gu Ziyang’s mother. Even if he had heard something, it would have been a struggle for him to inform her.
“Don’t worry about her for the time being. As long as Zixi’s safety is guaranteed, it’s fine.”
“Miss Wanwan, I understand. It’s not just Little Master Zixi’s safety, you have to be careful too.”
“Yes.”
