Chapter 387: Chapter 387: But He Smiles Like a Fool Chapter 387: Chapter 387: But He Smiles Like a Fool The hand he seized, even burly men couldn’t break free from his grip.
Yet, Gu Qiaoqiao easily did.
Her face relaxed, with a hint of smug satisfaction.
She had never been taught, and he had never shown her, how did she manage that?
Furthermore, she hadn’t even exerted much force to escape…
But all of this, in truth, was not what mattered.
What was important was that when he grabbed her hand or arm, Gu Qiaoqiao could easily get away if she wanted to.
His brows furrowed as he seriously recalled all the moments he had spent with Qiaoqiao.
Then, his furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
A cool smile spread across his lips, warm as the sunshine.
It turned out, Gu Qiaoqiao actually still liked him.
Otherwise, given Gu Qiaoqiao’s character, she had the ability to easily free herself whenever he pulled her close.
She wouldn’t have given him any chance to hold her hand.
It was laughable how he had always thought it was his strength that prevented Gu Qiaoqiao from escaping and hence she merely let it be.
It turns out, it was actually .
Thus, his smile grew bigger, until he finally couldn’t contain a quiet chuckle…
Moonlight spilled through the window like water.
Inside, the young and handsome man’s eyes twinkled as if filled with the light of a thousand stars.
Yet he laughed like a fool.
Two days later, Gu Tianfeng finished writing the article about Zhou Xue.
Of course, he used a pseudonym.
After all, this wasn’t a whistleblower’s letter, it was an article meant for the newspaper.
It involved personal rights to names and privacy.
Gu Qiaoqiao and her family naturally wouldn’t give Gu Yajing any material for a counterattack.
At the same time, several whistleblower letters were mailed out.
And to ensure that common folks could easily match the story to the reality, Gu Qiaoqiao decided to attack on both fronts.
The day after the article was published, Chu Chengfeng had people disperse it throughout the major streets and alleys of the Imperial Capital.
In any era, the people loved spectacles and were even more keen on spreading news.
It’s what is called “one tells ten, ten tell a hundred…”
Very soon, three days later, Gu Yajing became aware of it.
Ning Wanru knew as well.
And at that moment, Ning Wanru, left with no choice, was preparing to move…
But after discussing with that person, she knew she couldn’t resist stubbornly.
After all, the property did indeed belong to Gu Qingfeng.
He had the right to do as he pleased.
Ning Wanru had never anticipated that Gu Qingfeng would turn his face on her so suddenly.
And she had received no prior warning.
Could it be that Gu Qingfeng had found out about the things she had done?
Perhaps he surmised that she was behind it all but had no evidence.
Ning Wanru didn’t understand how her supposedly foolproof schemes had all failed.
And now, she was being forced to move out of North Mountain Villa where she had lived for decades.
This was the most humiliating moment of her life.
Just at this time, the affair between Gu Yajing and Zheng Xiao from years ago was blown wide open by the newspapers.
With her capabilities, she could have shut down that tabloid immediately.
But she was powerless,
for the article merely narrated a story that could easily stir up the public’s hatred.
All the names and places were fictitious.
Only the story was true.
Even though others were unaware, she indeed knew.
But what she knew were only the main points; she had no interest in the rest.
Zhou Xue was just a child from a working-class family; how could she be entitled to compete with her grand-daughter for a man?
She had agreed with this at the time.
