Nian Wanru lowered her eyes slightly, and then said after a long while: "Let's go home."

"But …"

"It might just be a coincidence. If I rashly rush up to him now, it might cause others to overthink it." Nian Wanru chuckled and said: "Moreover, if she really had thoughts in this regard, she would definitely reveal some clues in the future. It's impossible for her to just pass like this."

"Alright." Gu Qingyao took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

Even so, she still looked at Xiao Ze, who immediately nodded.

After returning home, Nian Wanru saw Gu Qingyao take out the accompanying gift as if it was a treasure.

"Is that so? I just feel that this brooch is very suitable for my mother, it's really great that my mother likes it! " Gu Qingyao laughed.

Nian Wanru looked at it for a while before putting it away, and asked: "Xiao Yao, mom is asking you, are you really with Li Muyan now?"

Gu Qingyao heard the change in Nian Wanru's tone and became more serious.

She paused for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Yes."

"You …" Nian Wanru took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother really did not think of it. Didn't you say before that you were not that close to Li Muyan?"

"He's a very good person. Didn't Mom just support me?" Gu Qingyao could not help but ask.

Nian Wanru shook her head, "Xiao Yao, think about it for yourself, do you think that you are compatible with Li Muyan? How much do you know about Li Muyan's personality? He is so much older than you, he still has many conflicts between him and the Gu family that have yet to be resolved. When you guys really face these problems, will Li Muyan really continue to persevere? What about you? How much pressure can you bear? "

"He can, and so can I." Gu Qingyao lowered her eyes slightly and said softly.

Nian Wanru sighed: "That is just the ideal situation."

"No, Mom, I really believe we can all do it." Gu Qingyao said seriously: "Since I chose Li Muyan, I have naturally considered these things. Mr. Li has helped me with many things, even with Yue Jingfeng and Lin Xiaxue's matter, if it wasn't for Mr. Li's help, I don't even know if I would be able to reach my current stage."

"If Li Muyan had wanted to be with you since a long time ago, then he might very well have some selfish thoughts regarding Yue Jingfeng." Nian Wanru's expression was full of unspeakable meaning: "You should know that he hates the Gu Clan. If you are able to pull you into his camp, when he goes against the Gu Clan in the future, you will also be on his side. Xiao Yao, Yue Jingfeng, did your mother firmly reject your father? Because Mom doesn't want you to get hurt, but it's the same for Li Muyan. Mom doesn't want you to regret it in the future … "

Gu Qingyao went silent.

After a long while, Gu Qingyao finally said hoarsely, "I won't regret it, mother." She paused for a moment before retracting her expression. She said seriously, "If I really do not know the person's identity, then I will recognize it as well."

There was an indescribable helplessness in Nian Wanru's eyes.

However, Gu Qingyao only raised her lips and laughed: "Since mother agreed to let Xiao Ze accompany me at that time, then you must be very trustworthy towards Mr. Li's character, why are you suddenly worried about him now?"

"That's not the same …" Nian Wanru heaved a long sigh, and said: "Being lovers and friends, how can it be the same?"

However, Gu Qingyao said with certainty: "I believe in Mr. Li."

These six simple words stopped Nian Wanru from speaking any further.

Nian Wanru suddenly realized that although everyone said Gu Qingyao was gentle, no one could defeat her due to the stubbornness deep down in their bones.

If she was sure, she would never change.

To an eighteen year old Gu Qingyao, jet-lag never seemed to be a big deal. At night, Gu Qingyao was still in high spirits, and wasn't troubled by jet-lag in the slightest.

As expected, Gu Yanzhi did not come back, he seemed to have gone out too. His home was completely empty, Gu Qingyao ate his dinner slowly and watched the television for a while before smiling: "So it turns out that the entire country knows about the competition."

"That's right..." Xiao Ze nodded from the side: "I don't know what's going on, but there were a lot of reports this time."

"And none of them seem to be positive." Gu Qingyao chuckled.

"There are some people who speculate that young miss's predictions are correct, but many are guessing why young miss didn't use the Gu family's resources and why she is working with Mr. Li. Does that mean young miss will leave the Gu family in the future?" Xiao Ze could not help but laugh, "What kind of people are these? It's such a pity not to dig up rumors in the entertainment circle."

Gu Qingyao watched for a while, then turned off the television without any interest.

"But if that's the case, then I'll probably be in the same situation when I go to the company tomorrow."

"The young mistress is worried …"

"I'm afraid the people at the company will have their own thoughts." Gu Qingyao said indifferently.

"Young miss has just saved the Gu's from the fire and water, how can they be embarrassed?!" Xiao Ze's face was full of disbelief: "Miss, how did the Bai Family flaunted earlier? It's already so tragic now, if it wasn't for you stopping them then, the one in trouble now would be the Gu Family!"

Seeing Xiao Ze's righteous anger, Gu Qingyao could not help but laugh: "Are you talking about the people from the board of directors and the shareholders' meeting?"

"Especially the shareholders' meeting, they are the first to benefit from this. If the Gu family is truly affected by this financial crisis, Miss, their assets will be reduced by tens of times." Xiao Ze's face darkened.

Gu Qingyao slightly nodded, and said: "Then why don't you think about it?

Xiao Ze was stunned: "Miss, are you talking about news from the company?"

"That's right." Gu Qingyao's expression became even more indifferent: "News from abroad only took a day to spread around the country, and at that time, there were no media amongst the people here, and even if the invited guests spread news of this matter, they would most likely not attract the attention of the domestic media so quickly, not to mention the fact that they attracted the attention of so many people in the company."

Xiao Ze's expression changed, and only after a long while did he speak softly: "Miss is suspecting the people at that time, in other words … Miss is suspecting Young Master Li, right? "

Gu Qingyao was stunned.

She had never thought of it that way.

Gu Qingyao had always kept this matter of herself in mind.

In those uneventful years, Gu Qingyao had never forgotten how much of it was due to her help.

But now, Xiao Ze's words were earth-shattering.

She didn't even have time to tell her family about the investment plan, so she didn't want everyone to know about it too quickly.

However, the news still unavoidably spread …

Li Muyan, was it really him who did it?

Thinking about Nian Wanru's words, Gu Qingyao slightly closed her eyes.

"He wants to pull you into his camp. When he goes against the Gu family in the future, you'll have to help him."

Is that right?
