Volume 1 Chapter 91 Telling Everything
After Gu Chiye's reminder, Zhu Sheng came back to his senses and remembered what he originally wanted to ask Gu Chiye.
"Oh, well, one of the things I wanted you to do was to find out about Yin Qianmu, but I didn't expect you had already sent someone to investigate.
As for the other matter, it may be a little delicate from your perspective, and I am still hesitating whether to discuss it with you."
Seeing Zhu Sheng's rare hesitant look, Gu Chiye couldn't help but become serious.
His heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Could it be about Mu Yun?"
Zhu Sheng widened his eyes in surprise. He didn't expect Gu Chiye to guess it so quickly.
Seeing Zhu Sheng's expression, Gu Chiye immediately knew that his guess was correct.
His heart skipped a beat, and he was worried whether this incident would affect Zhu Sheng's judgment of him.
So he quickly made his attitude clear: "Like I said before, I just treat Mu Yun as my own sister.
My mother and her mother are old friends, and I was also taken care of by my aunt when I was a child, so I am closer to her than to others. However, there has never been any romantic relationship between us, otherwise we would not have cancelled our engagement..."
Compared to his previous strategizing appearance, Gu Chiye now looked nervous, and even a bit wolfish as he tried desperately to explain.
Seeing this, Zhu Sheng waved his hands repeatedly.
Gu Chiye obviously misunderstood and thought she was jealous of his relationship with Lin Muyun.
Zhu Sheng showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and explained in a low voice.
"Well, what I want to inquire about is not your relationship with her... You can handle this on your own... You don't need to clarify it with me..."
After hearing Zhu Sheng's reply, Gu Chiye was stunned for a moment, feeling a little overwhelmed.
His eyes dimmed a little. It turned out that Zhu Sheng no longer cared whether there were other women around him.
Gu Chiye felt a surge of bitterness in his heart, but he pretended to be indifferent and continued to question Zhu Sheng.
"I misunderstood. It's okay. You can say whatever you want. Mu Yun has been really outrageous recently. I'm planning to talk to her later. If you have any questions, maybe I can ask them on your behalf."
Zhu Sheng still looked a little wary. He stared at Gu Chiye closely and spoke seriously.
"Even if what I want to know may harm Lin Muyun's interests and may even make her her enemy in the future, does that mean it doesn't matter?"
Zhu Sheng’s words made Gu Chiye feel nervous.
Could it be that Lin Muyun did something shameful behind the scenes?
His expression became more serious than ever. After thinking it over again and again, he gave a serious reply.
"I believe that with your character, you would never doubt someone casually.
If Mu Yun really goes astray, I swear on my personal reputation that I will never cover up the truth.
It is only natural that you should be punished for making mistakes. Only by paying back what you owe can you avoid going further down the wrong path."
Zhu Shengzai carefully observed Gu Chiye's micro-expressions. No matter from which angle he looked at it, he was full of righteousness and awe.
During these days, she got to know Gu Chiye a little better and knew that he was a person who helped others but not his relatives.
Zhu Sheng didn't intend to deal with Lin Muyun on purpose.
It's just a precautionary measure. I want to seize the initiative as early as possible so that the other party won't dare to touch me easily.
In addition, from the perspective of survival probability, pulling the male protagonist Gu Chiye to her side will make it easier for her to survive in a situation with an uncertain future.
Even if Gu Chiye really gets together with Lin Muyun in the future, considering their current friendship, he might be able to save her life at a critical moment.
In any case, it is much better than the fate in the original book where they were all killed by the male and female protagonists.
Thinking of this, Zhu Sheng decided to take a gamble and confessed all his doubts to Gu Chiye.
"Let me make it clear in advance that what I am going to say next is just my unilateral speculation and there is no real evidence.
Some phenomena in the program made me suspect that there was a huge secret hidden between Lin Muyun and He Yao, and it was very likely related to the cheating incident.
In addition, I guess only Lin Muyun knows this secret, and He Yao himself is completely unaware of it."
Then, Zhu Sheng analyzed in detail to Gu Chiye the strange words and deeds of Lin Muyun in the program.
Especially when it comes to topics related to cheating, Lin Muyun's performance is particularly unnatural.
Gu Chiye's expression was focused, and his expression became more serious when he heard some key points.
After Zhu Sheng told Gu Chiye all the clues he had observed, his face turned pale and he remained silent for a long time.
After all, the first thing Lin Muyun did on the show after filing for divorce was to express his love to Gu Chiye in public.
Assuming there is some hidden story behind their divorce, it is probably closely related to Gu Chiye.
This is also one of the reasons why Gu Chiye's heart beat more and more frightened the more he listened.
However, he thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure it out. He didn't want to judge the matter too arbitrarily, so he told Zhu Sheng.
"Well, it does sound a little strange. I have received your concern. I will quickly find someone to investigate and will update you as soon as there is any news.
As for Mu Yun, you don't have to worry. I will never reveal this conversation to her until more solid evidence emerges."
Then he seemed to remember something and said apologetically.
"Also, I want to sincerely apologize to you.
Because of me, you have suffered too many misfortunes. If Mu Yun bothers you again, you can always let me handle it."
Considering that Gu Chiye had just helped her and now his apologetic posture was so proper.
Seeing that he was sincere, Zhu Sheng also opened up and revealed his true feelings to him.
"Lin Muyun's troubles against me are not just one or two days. If we really want to trace it back, it probably goes back to high school.
The hurt is still fresh in my mind, and I am not so magnanimous as to be ready to accept an apology from you or anyone else.
Now I just want to finish participating in this show, get a smooth divorce, and then live my life in peace and stability.
As long as you don't cause me any trouble, I won't bother you."
Gu Chiye gave a bitter smile. He could understand Zhu Sheng's inability to forgive, and he also hated what he had done.
The past cannot be retrieved, and all we can do is move forward.
As for whether there is a possibility of intersection in the future, we can only do our best and leave it to fate.
After finishing their talk, the two of them ran out of topics to talk about.
Just when Zhu Sheng was about to find an excuse to leave, a notification sounded in the program team’s group chat.
Director Kong tagged everyone in the group and said that the live broadcast would resume in 20 minutes, asking the guests and staff to be prepared.
"Let's go together."
At Gu Chiye's initiative, the two of them walked back to the villa together.
As soon as they entered the living room, they saw Director Kong with a smirk on his face, who seemed to be plotting something.
After everyone arrived, he immediately announced the next segment of the program to everyone - a visit from a mysterious group of relatives and friends.
"The program organizer secretly contacted each couple's acquaintances and invited them to come to the show as marriage mediators.
Next, let us welcome all of our friends and relatives with warm applause!"
