Chapter 409: Chapter 410: You are the Murderer

Gu Mingzhu coldly spoke: “I will absolutely not let my son return to the Xi Family. So, I don’t want you to repeat what you said earlier to Xiao Han.”

Xia Yangyang wanted to defend Gu Zhaohan.

But if she speaks up now, Gu Mingzhu would probably misunderstand their relationship even more.

She might even think that she is instigating Gu Zhaohan to leave the Gu Family.

Xia Yangyang obediently responded: “I understand, sister.”

Gu Mingzhu gave Xia Yangyang a cold glance and turned around intending to enter the house.

“Sister!” Xia Yangyang suddenly spoke.

Gu Mingzhu stopped and turned around.

Xia Yangyang gripped her fingers tightly, taking a deep breath: “I have some questions to ask you.”

Gu Mingzhu’s expression seemed to have changed slightly.

But that elegant and beautiful face was still covered with a layer of frost.

“What do you want to ask?”

“You knew my mother, Tan Zhen, didn’t you? You both were close friends before.”

Xia Yangyang had been afraid these past few days.

Afraid of not knowing how to start.

Afraid that after puncturing that veil, there would be no way out.

But at this point, when Xia Yangyang directly said it, it didn’t seem as difficult as she imagined.

Xia Yangyang once asked Gu Mingzhu about this name, but Gu Mingzhu denied it at that time.

Gu Mingzhu’s face had completely turned cold: “What are you trying to say?”

“I just want to know, why did you deny knowing my mother when you clearly did.”

Gu Mingzhu clearly couldn’t control herself, her body shaking a bit.

These days, she had been having nightmares.

She always felt like she was in a dream at this moment.

Only this time, it was hard for her to wake up.

What should come, will always come.

Gu Mingzhu simply admitted: “Yes, I knew Tan Zhen, we used to be classmates at the film school, and we were best friends.”

“But you ended up as enemies because you stole my mother’s first love, Gao Wenbin.”

Upon hearing this name, Gu Mingzhu’s pupils noticeably narrowed.

Gao Wenbin, Gao Wenbin.

How long has it been since she heard this name?

So long that it seemed like a person she knew in her previous life.

But twenty years have passed.

Thinking about that young man with a roguish smile on his face, Gu Mingzhu’s heart still ached like being pierced by thousands of arrows. That wound from way back, being ruthlessly exposed after so many years.

It turns out it hasn’t healed, but ate itself away…

Gu Mingzhu stood there as if being immobilized by a spell, unmoving.

She seemed to not have quite grasped the situation yet.

But Xia Yangyang recounted the events of the past: “Because of Gao Wenbin, you became enemies with my mother, from being known as inseparable friends at the film school to bitter enemies. Then you went abroad for two years, my mother married my father, but when you came back two years later, you were only 18 and entered the entertainment industry, constantly suppressing my mother, my mother was forced to leave the industry and started doing charity work. But you still couldn’t let her go, ten years ago you donated twenty million to my mother’s charity, the Forever Angel Foundation. However, this money led to the ruin of my mother’s reputation, she became depressed and committed suicide. Sister, you’re the murderer who killed my mother.”.

Xia Yangyang tried her best to calmly tell this story.

And when she finally said those words, Xia Yangyang’s tone was almost calmly despairing..
