Xia Weiwei saw Gu Qichen’s expression getting grimmer and she felt incredibly satisfied.
It was fortunate that she had secretly kept a photo when Xia Yangyang had been cleaning out the old pictures.
Initially, she’d only wanted to use it to threaten Xia Yangyang, but she never anticipated a possible alternative use.
Xia Weiwei spoke in a tone of loss and remembrance: “Actually, my sister and Brother Haotian have had their own share of misfortune too. If it hadn’t been for that girlfriend of my sister who caused trouble back then, they might be married by now. They’ve been close since childhood, and Brother Haotian often visited our house. Sometimes, if he didn’t go home, he would share a room with my sister. We thought there was nothing wrong with it at the time because they were definitely going to get married, but who would have thought…”
Indeed, Gu Qjchen’s complexion darkened.
All of this was seen by Xia Yangyang.
Xia Weiwei was just telling lies.
Yes, Lu Haotian often visited their home, but even if he stayed, he absolutely would not sleep in her room.
For so many years, their childhood bond had always remained innocent.
Xia Weiwei purposely said such things to create unease in Gu Qichen’s mind.
Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen had always been separated by Gu Zhaohan, and now Xia Weiwei was adding Lu Haotian to the mix.
Xia Yangyang chuckled inwardly.
Then, she walked past them, placed the fruit plate down on the table.
Then, she directly took the photo from Xia Weiwei’s hand.
Xia Yangyang immediately tore it up and tossed it into the small rubbish bin beside them.
Xia Weiwei was dumbfounded, and for a moment, she’d forgotten Gu Qichen was right there and yelled, “Xia Yangyang, what’s gotten into you?”
Only after she spoke did she realize that Gu Qichen was standing beside her.
She quickly changed her tone and said, “Sister, why did you need to do that? My brother-in-law is not a petty man, there was no need for you to affirm your innocence in such a dramatic way. Brother-in-law, am I right?”
Seeing this, Xia Weiwei was incredibly pleased.
She knew for sure that tension was brewing between Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen.
Because Xia Yangyang didn’t say a word throughout dinner.
Gu Qichen’s demeanor didn’t divulge his feelings; it was hard to tell what he was feeling.
But Xia Yangyang was certainly not an actress, anyone with eyes could tell there was a strain between them.
If she doesn’t take advantage of this situation to add fuel to the fire, when will she ever?
Xia Yangyang suddenly spoke coldly: “Xia Weiwei, our relationship isn’t your business. Is he a fool to you, to be tricked by your clumsy ploy?”
Then she turned to Gu Qichen, “I have something to say to you.”
After Xia Yangyang walked away, Xia Weiwei was infuriated, not expecting Yangyang to bluntly reveal the facades.
She swiftly turned to Gu Qichen to explain, “Brother-in-law, you saw how my sister is. Where was I trying to cause a rift between you two? She’s so suspicious, always making others out to be the bad guys.”
But, Gu Qichen didn’t pay any attention to Xia Weiwei.
He followed Xia Yangyang straight upstairs.
Once they were inside the room, Xia Yangyang closed the door and turned around to ask him, “Gu Qichen, what are you really here for today?”
Gu Qichen began, “Didn’t you have something to say to me?”
“Gu Qichen, I have nothing to say to you. I just don’t want to see Xia Weiwei causing all this unnecessary drama,” Xia Yangyang responded.
“Why care about such a jester?”
Xia Yangyang was startled.
It turned out that Gu Qichen’s mind was exceptionally clear.
Gu Qichen’s voice was cold and grave: “Even if you have nothing to say to me, I have something I need to tell you.”
