Inside the private café room, a chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting a dim, yellow light on the table and adding a touch of ambiguity and mystery to the already small space. A man and a woman sat inside, conversing in hushed tones.

This woman was Jiang Feifei. Jiang Feifei looked at the man in front of her. He was wearing a black suit, had a square face, and a slightly worn briefcase behind him. He was an inconspicuous person in a crowd, with a face so ordinary that one could easily forget what he looked like after turning around.

Perhaps it's a professional requirement! Jiang Feifei thought, it's precisely this plain and unremarkable appearance, this face that doesn't attract any attention, that makes her suitable to be a private detective.

It turned out that Jiang Feifei's previous questioning of the servants had yielded no results. Regardless of their motives, servants were only responsible for housework and would never gossip about their employers' private lives. Jiang Feifei's attempts to coerce and bribe them had failed to get them to talk!

"I don't believe she has no dirt on her." Jiang Feifei was unwilling to give up. The thought of Xu Xiaoxiao openly saying she would help her keep her man's heart and introduce her to a doctor, but secretly seducing Gu Nanqing and getting pregnant with Gu Nanqing's child made her tremble with anger. This matter absolutely cannot be let go like this!

Jiang Feifei had been thinking about this for a long time. She accidentally saw an advertisement for a private investigator online. With a try-it-out mentality, she made an appointment with the private investigator agency. After all, she had no other choice at this point.

Jiang Feifei briefly stated her requirements. After listening, the man took out some documents from his briefcase and handed them to her. She quickly glanced at them; they contained a price list and the extent of the detective's investigation. After reading them, she nodded in satisfaction: "The fee is not a problem at all."

“Okay, then let’s look forward to good news,” the private investigator said confidently.

Their conversation ended there. Jiang Feifei put on her sunglasses, discreetly left the remote coffee shop, and returned to the Gu residence.

By the time Jiang Feifei returned to the Gu residence, it was already dark. Warm light streamed in through the large French windows of the living room. The nanny opened the door for her, and as soon as she entered the living room, she saw Xu Xiaoxiao and Bai Wei sitting intimately together on the sofa, talking about something. Gu Heng and Gu Nanqing were sitting on the opposite sofa reading the newspaper, looking like a happy family of four.

This scene pierced Jiang Feifei's heart. Xu Xiaoxiao was so eager to take her place! Jiang Feifei was burning with anger inside, but she didn't show it on her face. She suppressed her anger, smiled and walked over, saying, "Oh, it's rare to have everyone here today. Father is even home. It seems I came back at just the right time."

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know when Jiang Feifei arrived at the door that night, but she couldn't hide the truth from the servants when she privately inquired about it afterward. Xu Xiaoxiao knew that she hadn't gotten any information from her. In Xu Xiaoxiao's mind, even the servants didn't know about this matter, so she was quite relieved and thought that what happened that night was already in the past.

Upon hearing Jiang Feifei's voice, everyone turned around and glanced at her, offering a lukewarm greeting. Xu Xiaoxiao, however, warmly invited her to come and sit down with them.

"Sister-in-law, why are you only just getting back? Come on over and sit down with us. We haven't had dinner yet, and we're just missing you, haha. I'll have the housekeeper prepare the food right away." Xu Xiaoxiao stood up and looked at Jiang Feifei warmly, showing her concern and care, as if what happened that night had never happened.

When it comes to acting, Jiang Feifei is never inferior to anyone. She quickly took two steps and went over to help Xu Xiaoxiao: "Sit down quickly, I'll go find the auntie to cook. You, the pregnant woman, should sit down and wait quietly." Jiang Feifei helped Xu Xiaoxiao sit steadily on the sofa with concern, and the two seemed to have never had any misunderstandings.

Because Jiang Feifei had not gotten pregnant, and with a pregnant woman next to her, Bai Wei looked down on her even more. She only gave her a lukewarm greeting before turning to Xu Xiaoxiao with concern and saying, "Let her go. This is the most dangerous time for you right now. You need to sit and rest."

“Yes, Xiaoxiao, your baby isn’t fully settled yet. I’ll go to the kitchen. By the way, it’s rare for everyone to be here tonight, and Father is home too. Do you think we should call Gu Yiming and invite him back so we can all have dinner together? Speaking of which, Gu Yiming hasn’t been back in a while.” Jiang Feifei suggested casually.

"Oh, no need. Yiming said on the phone that he was away on a business trip. He's busy with work, so I think we shouldn't distract him." If Gu Yiming comes back, he might stay overnight. The hickeys on her body haven't completely faded yet, and she's worried that things will be exposed, so Xu Xiaoxiao quickly refused.

Hearing Jiang Feifei's suggestion, Bai Wei felt a surge of disgust. She had always hated Gu Yiming's return; with him around like a diamond, Gu Nanqing was like a dull stone in his presence. However, in front of Gu Heng, she had to feign agreement and put on a loving mother's act. "You're pregnant. No matter how busy he is with work, he should make time to come home and see you often. Since everyone's here today, why don't you invite him back for a meal and spend some time with you?"

“Call him back. I also have something to talk to him about.” Before Xu Xiaoxiao could refuse, Gu Heng, who was sitting to the side reading the newspaper, made the final decision.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she had no choice but to agree and call Gu Yiming, asking him to come home for dinner.

At this moment, Gu Yiming was just looking for an opportunity to reap the rewards. Now that such an opportunity had come knocking on his door, he naturally wouldn't let it go, so he readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yiming drove back to the Gu residence, but this time, he didn't go back alone.

Back at the Gu residence, the family ate a meal together in a seemingly harmonious atmosphere, but each harbored their own thoughts.

At the dinner table, Gu Yiming was very attentive to Xu Xiaoxiao, showing her great concern. After the meal, he even went to the kitchen to cut fruit and urged her to eat. Xu Xiaoxiao was very touched and regretted not being able to control herself. She was also worried that things would be exposed, and her heart was in turmoil.

Jiang Feifei looked at the loving couple in front of her with a mocking expression. Gu Yiming, do you know that your beloved lover is carrying your brother's child? Jiang Feifei was not in a hurry. She knew that the truth would be exposed sooner or later, and Xu Xiaoxiao would not have a good ending.

"Xiaoxiao, how have you been lately? Have you been feeling unwell? I brought our family doctor with me this time. He's a very famous obstetrician and gynecologist. Let him come and take a look at you." Gu Yiming said gently to Xu Xiaoxiao while feeding her fruit.

Xu Xiaoxiao was deeply moved, unaware that this gentle knife was cutting away lives with every stroke.
