Sheng Man and her family already have everything, but they never knew how to cherish it. Instead, they chose to cater to their greed, swallowing more than they could take and doing heinous things to achieve their goals.

Nie Jiqing’s face darkened with grievance and rage; she had been wronged for too long. Not only did she want to take back what those people took from their family, but she also wanted to make them pay the price they deserve.

After Ye Zhi realized that there was something amiss with Sheng Man, she told Gu Ren about the incident. After Gu Ren thought for a while, he also felt that Sheng Man was rather abnormal.

After the two discussed, they decided to send someone to investigate the interactions between Sheng Man and Sheng Lian to see what they were trying to pull off.

If they found something unusual, they would also take necessary measures.

In the evening, Gu Ren and Ye Zhi both arrived home as the butler prepared dinner.

Gu Ren and Ye Zhi were sitting across from each other at the dining table. Ye Zhi looked at Gu Ren’s breathtakingly handsome face, but instead of feeling happy, she felt slightly melancholic in her heart.

The atmosphere was very quiet and Ye Zhi felt that something was amiss. She raised her head to look at Gu Ren and just so happened to meet his steady gaze.

Ye Zhi’s mind blanked for a moment and then upon realizing she had no hope of passing this matter in a breeze, she racked her brain and frantically tried to make an excuse, “I usually eat a lot more than I am now, I just don’t have that much of an appetite now.”

The more Ye Zhi spoke, the softer her voice became, “That’s why I’m eating so little today...”

The atmosphere was very quiet.

A few seconds later, Gu Ren turned his head and looked at the butler. He flatly asked, “When I’m not at home, does Madam usually eat so little?”

Gu Ren then changed his tone and added another question, “Or as she said, she’s only eating so little today?”

Ye Zhi panicked and looked at the butler pleadingly.

The butler met Ye Zhi’s gaze and she desperately winked at him. The butler hesitated, pondering whether or not he should tell the truth.

When the butler turned his head to meet Gu Ren’s indifferent gaze, the butler immediately decided to betray Ye Zhi and directly confessed, “Madam’s small appetite was a daily occurrence; it was not limited to today only.”

Now that the matter had become as clear as day, Ye Zhi knew she was doomed.
