Gu Ci took the cherry juice from him, with a hint of lust hiding in her eyes, "Guess!"
Lu Zhiyuan, "I don't want to guess, I want you to tell me."
"One question after another." Gu Ci had a little cherry juice on her lips, which was fragrant and tempting. "That night, why didn't you reply to my text message when you saw it?"
Lu Zhiyuan's eyes were aroused by the bright color on his lips, but when he heard her question, he calmed down again. He looked away from the sky of ice and fire. Silence is golden.
Gu Ci held the crystal cup with her fingers and tapped it gently, "Lu Zhiyuan, we all have secrets, that's why we have stories."
When the plane arrived in City A, the last ray of the setting sun set behind the mountains, and the sunset filled the sky, like a dream.
Lu Zhiyuan had a dinner to attend, and the two parted ways at the airport. When Gu Ci returned home, Gu Ziyu greeted her at the door. Gu Ci raised a smile and hugged Gu Ziyu.
"Mom misses you so much!"
"I miss mom too." Gu Ziyu saw her injury and his eyes darkened, "Mom, does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt!" Gu Ci hugged him and walked inside, but never noticed the camera hidden behind the flower bed, which kept flashing. Gu Ci brought some specialties to Gu Ziyu from Haicheng.
"Where's dad?"
"He has a dinner party, do you miss him?"
"I want to mock him, but I can't even protect my wife." Gu Ziyu put his hands on his hips, a little childish, "If I grew up, I would never do this."
Gu Ci couldn't help but laugh, thinking of Jiang Junlin's attack case, "Who wants uncle's life?"
"The employer could not be found." Gu Ziyu handed the found information to Gu Ci, "The money was transferred from an underground bank, and the source could not be found. This order was issued from the Black Hawk headquarters, but I don't know who did it.
.I also investigated the recent projects of Hualan Bank, but I don’t have any clues. Since the Haicheng branch handed over the murderer, it should have cut off its tail to save itself. I don’t want to make this matter a big deal.”
"Isn't it really Gu Chuyun?"
"Mom, you think too highly of her. No matter how cunning she is, she has no such ability." Gu Ziyu said, "Gu Chuyun found out that you went to Haicheng to find Zhang Xiaomei and were too busy taking care of yourself. She is not that powerful."
"Who is that?"
Jiang Junlin was also thinking about who wanted to kill him. In the business world, harmony makes money. Hualan Bank has approved many projects and invested a lot, and the business is huge. He filtered through the recently rejected projects and still had no clue.
Jiang Minghua said, "This time I was lucky enough to meet Gu Ci and save your life. What about next time?"
Jiang Junlin served the hot milk and thought of Gu Ci's voice calling "Brother, is it a fluke?" Jiang Junlin knew that he heard correctly. Gu Ci already knew his identity and came to save him specially.
Then how did Gu Ci know that he would be attacked tonight?
"Dad, don't mind my business for now. I know it well. Grandpa and grandma are confused. Don't be confused too. Gu Ci is my sister, but Gu Chuyun is not!" Jiang Junlin said in a heavy tone, "Zhang Xiaomei has been escorted back to City A. This time
Things must be settled and decisions must be made as soon as possible.”
"I know it." Jiang Minghua lamented, "She and Mingyue look really alike, but their personalities are nothing alike. Mingyue is like a sunflower, passionate and brilliant. Xiaoci... looks cold."
"We have never shown any sincerity to her, so how can we ask her to greet her with a smile?" Jiang Junlin said, "Relationships are not maintained by a blood test."
"Tell me, does Gu Chuyun know about this?"
Jiang Junlin sneered, "It's not important!"
Gu Chuyun had panicked for a long time. When she returned to City A, she consulted with Lu Man. Lu Man was also anxious. She was arrogant and believed that she could control Gu Ci, so she transferred money to Zhang Xiaomei using her own account.
Without the money to investigate, the truth was already certain, and all Gu Chuyun had to do was cut her losses.
"Mom, admit everything and get rid of your relationship with me. I don't know anything. It's all your plan. It's also your plan to make Zhang Xiaomei change her story." Gu Chuyun was very calm, "You can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood.
"
Lu Man looked at Gu Chuyun in shock, "You want to sacrifice me, Chu Yun, I am your mother!"
"How dare you say that!" Gu Chuyun roared, "Why did you switch me and Gu Ci? Now that you have done it, why don't you clear up the trouble? Only dead people can't lie. What you did is full of loopholes and extremely stupid. Who can you blame?
You were stupid enough to tell me the truth, and you should keep this matter in your stomach. You also often said in my ears that I am your biological daughter. Gu Ci must have heard it, so he investigated her identity.
From beginning to end, it was your stupidity that caused the trouble, and you have to deal with it."
Lu Man, "..."
She looked at Gu Chuyun, whose eyes were red and filled with hatred, feeling sad and soft-hearted, "Okay, okay, okay, mom will settle the matter and it won't implicate you. Don't worry, you will be fine."
Gu Chuyun hugged her and said, "Mom, sacrifice for me again. Eighteen years have passed since this happened, and you haven't abandoned Gu Ci. You raised her. She won't be sentenced to prison, it will only damage her reputation."
Gu Chuyun couldn't care about Lu Man's emotions. She lost this round. Ever since the night she and Lu Shijie got engaged, everything had gotten out of control. She had to find a way to make things go in the direction she had planned.
The baby investigation case from 18 years ago was restarted, and the evidence was conclusive. Zhang Xiaomei explained the whole incident. Lu Man, Gu Chuyun, and Gu Ci all took paternity tests. The truth came to light. Old Mrs. Jiang, who still held on to the last glimmer of hope, was greatly stimulated and rushed to fight.
Lu Man slapped her in the face, "Vicious woman, you just killed Mingyue, you didn't even let her daughter go!"
The old lady was so stimulated that she fainted and fell to the ground!
Lu Man had a good attitude in pleading guilty, cooperated with the investigation, and took the initiative to tell the facts. Gu Wenliang was at a loss. Lu Man bit her to death and planned it alone. Neither Gu Chuyun nor Gu Yaozu knew about it.
Mrs. Jiang and Lu Man's mother were brothers and sisters, and they once had a deep love for each other. She was stooped and crying, begging Mr. Jiang to withdraw the lawsuit, seek peace, and let Lu Man go.
Due to the death of Jiang Mingyue, there was a long-standing estrangement between the brother and sister. Grandma Lu and Lu Man had rarely interacted with each other over the years, but they were biological daughters after all, and the blood relationship was unbroken.
"Auntie, the person she's sorry for is Xiaoci. It's Xiaoci's decision to forgive or not. We have no right to interfere." Jiang Minghua rejected the Lu family.
If Gu Ci did not issue a letter of understanding, the matter would have to go through legal procedures. Lu Man, Gu Wenliang and Gu Yaozu all called her, hoping that she would issue a letter of understanding, but Gu Ci avoided seeing her.
Lu Zhiyuan found Gu Ci a lawyer who specializes in this kind of lawsuits, named Wang Lin. Wang Lin said, "Although it is a criminal case, in the past eighteen years, she has sent Zhang Xiaomei to exchange babies. She has not abandoned you, nor has she taken care of you."
You were raised by your side, and she didn't abuse you. In this case, there will be no penalty, most likely just a fine."
