After Gu Lun heard Xiao Yun’s words, he thought to himself for a few seconds before saying harshly to her, “That lass Qing is definitely not such a person! If you say something that you don’t understand in front of her before the results are out, don’t blame me for not considering our relationship for many years.”

Xiao Yun thought that she was hearing things. Not to mention that she already had substantial evidence to prove that Fang Qing had stolen the necklace, just the fact that Gu Lun had never lost his temper in front of her before… made Xiao Yun wonder if the person in front of her was really her husband.

Gu Lun knew her doubts, but he only glanced at her and left.

In fact, only Gu Lun knew that Fang Qing had no need to steal this necklace.

The first time Gu Lun saw Fang Qing, she had just been born. As a baby, Fang Qing was already pretty and adorable. At that time, he had tentatively proposed the marriage to Fang Qing’s grandfather. However, Gu Lun did not expect Old Master Fang to agree so easily. This made Gu Lun happy for several days. If the two juniors could truly become husband and wife, it would be of great benefit to Gu Lun.

The second time Gu Lun met Fang Qing, Fang Qing was still a one-year-old girl. However, when he entered, he saw that she was stepping on jewelry and playing with a few diamonds in her hands. The nanny beside her was watching her carefully, she was afraid that these things would hurt her young miss.

To Fang Qing, a necklace was not a question of whether she wanted to buy it or not, but whether she wanted it or not. If Fang Qing really did not want the necklace but wanted to destroy the Gu Enterprise, then the Gu Enterprise would probably fall soon.

Gu Lun had such a feeling. There must be something fishy behind this.

Although Gu Lun had given the order, Xiao Yun and Zhao Mei still talked about it casually when Gu Lun was not around.

During dinner, Zhao Mei looked at the new bracelet on Xiao Yun’s hand and acted as she liked it very much. “Auntie, where did you buy this bracelet? It’s so beautiful.” After saying that, she deliberately glanced at Fang Qing, “You just have to protect it well. Don’t let it be stolen by others. Our family isn’t like the company that can set up an investigation team.”

Gu Cheng frowned when he heard that. Just as he was about to speak, Fang Qing spoke, “Then Miss Zhao, you have to be very careful. You’re so young and beautiful, but you have to be careful not to be stolen and sold to human traffickers when you sleep.”

Zhao Mei was so angry that her face turned red. “What do you mean?”

Gu Cheng’s words shut her up. “Don’t go crazy in front of others.”

Xiao Yun did not want the atmosphere to become awkward, so she kept putting food in Zhao Mei’s bowl. The two of them ate very quickly. When they left, Fang Qing and Gu Cheng were still eating.

Fang Qing looked up at Gu Cheng while they were eating. “Why do you trust me so much?”

Gu Cheng also turned to look at her.

Fang Qing had never noticed that Gu Cheng’s eyes were so beautiful. The coldness of his brows gave him an innate sense of oppression, but his eyes always had a soft curve that could pull back those who were scared away. Unconsciously, Fang Qing was stunned. Gu Cheng noticed this and waved his hand in front of her eyes.

When Fang Qing came back to her senses, Gu Cheng had already stood up and returned to his room.

It was too embarrassing! This was the first time Fang Qing was stunned by a man in more than twenty years, and it was Gu Cheng.

When Fang Qing returned to her room, she already knew that this was definitely a gentle conspiracy. Faced with a false accusation, it was not Fang Qing’s character to sit and wait for death. Fang Qing used her index finger to rub the watch on her wrist. Not long after, a figure appeared on the windowsill of Fang Qing’s room.

“Miss, what are your orders?” A man dressed in black said respectfully to Fang Qing. He himself had become one with the night.

This was Yun Xiao, the confidant of shadow that Fang Qing had used for more than ten years. Before Fang Qing came to City A, she had already expected that it would not be a pleasant trip, so she brought Yun Xiao along.

Fang Qing looked at Yun Xiao with a faint smile. She walked over and whispered a few words into his ear. Yun Xiao replied with a ‘yes’ and then left as if he had come without leaving a trace.

It was still unknown who would be the victor.

The day when the results would be announced soon arrived. Both the Wen family and the Gu family’s employees attached great importance to the outcome of this incident.

The Wen family sent Wen Yan as their representative to observe the proceedings.

In the conference room, everyone’s mood was different from last time. Last time, it was an unexpected loss and panic, but this time, everyone was watching the show with full concentration.
