Ch 133: Launching An Investigation Into The Matter
Extending their pinkies, they intertwined them tightly with Shen Mingyue’s, then pressed their thumbs together, agreeing that the agreement would take effect at this moment.
Gu Yuanzhou felt relieved. He had originally thought that because of this matter, the relationship between the two would definitely create a rift. Unexpectedly, Shen Mingyue was so reasonable and did not make a fuss about it.
But it’s also true that both of their starting points were good, they just used the wrong methods.
Now that Shen Mingyue has untied her heart knot, it’s also a great joy.
Thinking of the agony Shen Mingyue had suffered before, Gu Yuanzhou felt for the first time that he was a bastard, that because of his cowardice, he had let the other party suffer internal conflict for so long.
Gu Jianjun and Tian Shufang vaguely heard Shen Mingyue’s crying and felt uneasy.
They both knew about this a long time ago, but they didn’t say anything. Now that it’s been brought up publicly, it’s probably a significant blow to Shen Mingyue.
What if the two of them quarrel or get into an irreconcilable conflict because of this?
Wang Cuie and Shen Mingxia were also very anxious. Shen Mingxia didn’t go to the shop today because of the dinner party, and she was nervously watching her mother.
Wang Cuie also looked worried.
Gu Sisi glanced at Gu Jianjun and then at Tian Shufang, and asked doubtfully, “Dad, Mom, didn’t you know about this a long time ago? That’s why you’ve been so nice to her?”
Gu Jianjun was upset and glared at his daughter.
“Mind your own business.”
Gu Sisi snorted coldly, “Looking at your expressions, you must have known about it for a long time. Why didn’t you say anything? I thought the child in her belly was my older brother’s.”
Gu Yuanyang also agreed. They were all family, yet they kept it a secret. Ultimately, they felt that they were just kids and didn’t have the right to know.
“Regardless of whether the child is your older brother’s or your second brother’s, they are the Gu family’s bloodline. Be nicer to your second sister-in-law in the future.”
Gu Sisi glanced in that direction and whispered, “I think I heard her cry? Mom, did you hear it?”
Tian Shufang had almost forgotten about it, but when her daughter mentioned it, her heart went up again.
“It’s okay, your second brother can handle it.”
Gu Sisi didn’t say anything; she rarely used her brain.
This Shen Mingyue is both hateful and pitiful. I heard that she was not only beaten and scolded by her parents-in-law before, but she didn’t even have enough to eat. Later, she went to a guesthouse and was even ruined.
Although that man was her second brother, if she were in that situation, she would probably want to die.
What’s hateful is that she knowingly knew that the child in her belly wasn’t Gu Hongbin’s, yet she still came to deceive everyone.
Thinking of this, Gu Sisi almost blurted it out, but seeing Shen Mingxia and Wang Cuie, she held back.
Although she didn’t like Shen Mingyue, she respected Wang Cuie quite a bit because Wang Cuie was always smiling and down-to-earth, and every time she made delicious food, she would bring some over to her.
Even her own mother wasn’t that nice to her.
A while ago, she had a sore throat, and Wang Cuie specially made her some rock sugar pear soup.
Seeing that bowl of soup, Gu Sisi was very moved and immediately decided to stop rejecting this country woman.
Shen Mingxia is also good. Last time, she threw her dirty clothes into the basin and planned to wash them later. When Shen Mingxia was washing clothes, she washed hers too, and she foolishly smiled at her.
Gu Sisi is just domineering and unreasonable, but she’s not heartless. That woman’s sister and mother are far inferior to her.
If Shen Mingyue were like that, she wouldn’t dislike her.
At this time, Shen Mingyue and Gu Yuanzhou were discussing why Sun Hongmei was at the restaurant.
They both felt that there was something fishy about it. It’s not strange that Sun Hongmei knows where Shen Mingyue is; she could just ask around.
But the fact that she knew that the Gu family was having a gathering today, and at which restaurant, is a bit outrageous. There must be someone behind this.
“What do you think?”
Shen Mingyue pursed her lips, “It’s highly likely that Zhou Xiaofei did it. I observed her expression at the time.”
Gu Yuanzhou’s heart sank. He also thought so, because in this family, besides Zhou Xiaofei, no one else had the motive.
Everyone treats her as family and has privately comforted her, yet she insists on going down a certain path and is so obsessed.
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t dislike Zhou Xiaofei. She had been by his side since childhood, and there was definitely family affection.
Before, she had done something wrong, and although Gu Yuanzhou was disappointed, he also hoped that she would reform herself.
Unexpectedly, everyone’s dissuasion had no effect, and instead, she became even worse.
Fortunately, Shen Mingyue was reasonable and didn’t make things difficult for him in this matter. But what if it wasn’t like that? Would their relationship have broken down, or even led to divorce?
Ultimately, the Gu family can’t live without Shen Mingyue, not the other way around.
In a short period of time, she not only opened a clothing store with a monthly income of several thousand, but she also didn’t lag behind in other aspects.
Such a female comrade could live very well even if she left the Gu family.
At that time, she could just take the children, change cities, and life would go on.
But what about their family? Can Old Master Gu handle it?
Moreover, she clearly knows that Old Master Gu’s health is not good, and he is now relying on this pillar of spirit to maintain his health.
But in order to bring down Shen Mingyue, she even disregarded Old Master Gu’s health.
Fortunately, things took a turn for the better. If that man hadn’t been him, Old Master Gu would probably have fainted on the spot, and Shen Mingyue would have become a target of public anger.
But she was clearly forced to take this step by step. In order to keep Old Master Gu healthy, she even made up her mind to raise two children alone.
Comparing the two, the difference is clear.
“I will investigate this matter clearly. If she does not repent and remains stubborn, I will discuss with the family whether she should be sent back to the Zhou family.”
Gu Yuanzhou’s attitude towards his family members is the same, but he is fair; whoever makes a mistake must accept punishment.
Old Master Gu’s position in the entire family is extraordinary. If something happens to him, the whole Gu family will be in turmoil.
Moreover, Old Master Gu has worked hard for the nation in his first half of life, leaving behind a lot of illnesses. Now that he has finally reached the time to enjoy his life, everyone hopes that he can live a long life.
“Targeting me is a small matter, but I feel that she is mentally ill. If this continues, something big will happen.”
Shen Mingyue also spoke the truth. Zhou Xiaofei is now ruthless, not caring about the lives of her family members. Such a person has no family notions and will definitely be a scourge if she stays in the family.
And she heard that Zhou Xiaofei used the Gu family’s background at school and bullied other teachers. This matter just didn’t escalate. If it did, the Gu family’s reputation would be affected.
“Yes, I thought of that too.”
Gu Yuanzhou wasn’t thinking of going to talk to Zhou Xiaofei properly, but Zhou Xiaofei had special feelings for him. If he went to talk to her, he wouldn’t be able to say anything, and it would only further arouse her inner evil.
So he thought that they would leave her alone and let his parents persuade her again, maybe she would repent.
It turned out that he was wrong.
Half an hour later, everyone finally saw Gu Yuanzhou and Shen Mingyue.
Shen Mingyue had obviously cried; her eyes were red. Wang Cuie saw her daughter like this and felt heartbroken.
She didn’t know that her daughter had such an experience. She really didn’t know how she survived back then.
This son-in-law is really something. Since he knew, why didn’t he say anything? He looks quite smart, but he’s stupid in this kind of thing.
Tian Shufang also felt guilty and quickly got up, smiling and inviting Shen Mingyue to sit down, intending to say a few good words for her son.
Their life has been going so well; don’t let anything go wrong.
“Mingyue, come and sit here. Mom washed a basin of grapes for you. They’re fresh and very sweet. Try them. When the two children are born, if they have your eyes, it’ll be good, Yuanzhou’s eyes aren’t as big as yours.”
Tian Shufang mumbled, patting the seat next to her.
Shen Mingyue knew what she meant, and immediately a smile appeared on her face, she sat next to her mother-in-law.
Speaking of it, her parents-in-law are really good. Except for initially looking down on her, they have no other faults and take good care of her.
Her family of three lives here; it’s because of her parents-in-law’s tolerance.
“Thank you, Mom,” Shen Mingyue picked up one and distributed some to everyone.
Gu Sisi was still waiting to see the excitement, but unexpectedly, the two of them reconciled, and she felt a little disappointed.
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t stay long. He planned to personally meet Sun Hongmei and find out who was behind this.
If it’s confirmed to be Zhou Xiaofei, this matter absolutely cannot be kept secret anymore. He will tell Old Master Gu and let Old Master Gu make the decision.
Seeing Gu Yuanzhou about to go out, Tian Shufang hurriedly winked at him.
She thought that this son was a fool. What is he going out for today? Staying home and coaxing his wife is better than anything.
Shen Mingyue found it funny and whispered, “Mom, let him go out. Yuanzhou has something to deal with.”
Tian Shufang awkwardly retracted her gaze and looked at Shen Mingyue with a wry smile.
“Don’t blame Yuanzhou for this, he also has his reasons. Since you’ve already gotten your marriage license and married, solve the problems when you encounter them. Don’t get into a dead end.”
“Don’t worry, Mom, I understand.”
Wang Cuie saw that her daughter was fine, and her hanging heart finally dropped.
Gu Yuanzhou is a good man, and Wang Cuie still hopes that they can grow old together.
At this time, Gu Yuanzhou had already driven to the guesthouse where Sun Hongmei was. Just as he was about to get out of the car, he suddenly saw Zhou Xiaofei coming out of the guesthouse.
Gu Yuanzhou retracted his hand and looked at Zhou Xiaofei with cold eyes.
Zhou Xiaofei was full of anger at this moment. She knew that someone would definitely ask Sun Hongmei for information, so she thought of coming here in advance to give her a heads-up and tell Sun Hongmei not to reveal anything.
As a result, Sun Hongmei threatened her instead, saying that she had tricked her into coming all the way and made her lose face for nothing, and demanded another two hundred yuan from Zhou Xiaofei.
Zhou Xiaofei was furious. She lost the battle and lost money. She didn’t bring Shen Mingyue down, but instead lost so much money.
But she had to give her the two hundred yuan. If Sun Hongmei told the Gu family about this, she wouldn’t be able to live anymore.
So she could only grit her teeth and take out the money from selling her watch.
