Chapter 381: Chapter 382: Mystery
Xia Weiwei continued to pour oil on the fire: “Xia Yangyang, your heart must feel distressed now. You’ve fallen in love with the son of your enemy. You and Gu Qichen, truly are a Romeo and Juliet. However, I heard, that Gu Qichen has no mother and his elder sister, Gu Mingzhu, brought him up single-handedly. So, to him, his elder sister is like his mother. Do you think he would love you the same if he knew about the feud between your mother and his sister? Would he treat you like a thief, always vigilant? Xia Yangyang, if it turns out his sister caused your mother’s death, would he tolerate a person seeking revenge being by his side? In his heart, do you think you can be more important to him than the elder sister who loved him the most?”
Xia Yangyang was frozen in place.
Xia Weiwei became even more smug: “If I were you, I would divorce Gu Qichen. Sleeping in the same bed every night with the person who caused my mother’s death would torture my conscience. Xia Yangyang, I have told you before, Mrs. Gu’s position does not suit you. It’s better to leave now while it is not too late because the one who will suffer later will be yourself. I’m just saying this for your own good…”
“Enough, Xia Weiwei, don’t think I don’t know what you’re getting at. You are trying your best to sow discord here, all for your own selfish reasons. But let me tell you, Xia Weiwei, even if I divorced Gu Qichen, even if all the women in the world were gone, Gu Qichen would absolutely not have any interest in you. Do you imagine that if Gu Mingzhu had killed my mother, Gu Qichen would still marry a daughter of the Xia family? Your talk today has always been about securing the position of Mrs. Gu, but don’t forget, in the eyes of others, we are sisters and seen as one. So, don’t fantasize needlessly. Gu Qichen will never have any interaction with you in this lifetime.”
Xia Weiwei was provoked by Xia Yangyang: “Xia Yangyang, you’re talking nonsense. Gu Qichen will like me, I will marry him, I will become Mrs. Gu.”
Xia Yangyang sneered: “I forgot to tell you. I once asked Gu Qichen about his impression of you. Can you guess what he said?”
Xia Weiwei knew that whatever Xia Yangyang would say next would not be good news.
But Xia Weiwei still couldn’t help but ask: “What did he say?”
“He said that looking at your face, he can’t even eat.”
After saying that, Xia Yangyang turned around and left.
Behind her, Xia Weiwei’s curses echoed.
But Xia Yangyang didn’t care anymore.
She hailed a taxi and returned to the Shengting Hotel.
After Xia Yangyang returned, she mechanically took a shower. She also tidied up her luggage and even cleaned up the already clean hotel room.
When she finished cleaning the last piece of glass, Xia Yangyang felt extremely tired.
Every time she encountered something disconcerting, she would busy herself to keep her mind off it.
But this time it was different.
When Xia Yangyang lay on the sofa, the words Xia Weiwei said at the airport kept repeating in her mind.
Even though she knew Xia Weiwei had ulterior motives, and was sowing discord.
She knew it was a trap set by Xia Weiwei.
But Xia Yangyang couldn’t help but jump into it to see for herself.
Did her mother’s death have anything to do with Gu Mingzhu?
Xia Yangyang began to doubt in her heart.
Xia Yangyang got up and took out two newspapers from the bottom of her drawer.
It was the old newspaper she had found in the Cherry News Agency from ten years ago.
Xia Yangyang looked meticulously at the graduation photo from back then.
Her mother had been holding hands with Gu Mingzhu. Their heads were touching, and they seemed intimate in the picture.
Why did Gu Mingzhu deny it then, even saying that she had never heard of the name Tan Zhen?
