Shangguan Wu's lips curled up as she continued to deceive him, "Of course, my husband knows everything. Just tell me why you came here today, and I'll have him tell you how to help Yu Hao win the position of Yu family heir, okay?"
Shangguan Xinyi didn't believe her: "How could you possibly help me!"
Shangguan Wu gave her an even more exaggerated expression: "Are you kidding? How could I possibly help you? This is just a deal, okay? Don't misunderstand!"
Upon hearing the word 'deal,' Shangguan Xinyi immediately thought of today's events as a deal between her and 'Quan Tianrui.'
Shangguan Wu looked into her eyes, and when Shangguan Xinyi looked over, her tone gradually slowed down: "You only have one minute to consider. Whether you want to make the deal or not is up to you. Anyway, without you, I can go home and ask my husband who tried to scheme against me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shangguan Xinyi already had a blank expression on her face.
Shangguan Wu asked, "Who sent you here today?"
Shangguan Xinyi replied, "Quan Tianrui."
It was him!
Shangguan Wu's eyes turned cold. Could it be that he had reached an agreement with the Jiang family so quickly?
So he still got Jiang Yu's money?
It really does prove the saying—a scourge can live for a thousand years.
Suddenly, Shangguan Wu remembered what his senior brother had said: if Quan Tianrui really colluded with that organization, he would take Quan Tianrui to the base... Once there, Quan Tianrui would never be able to get out unless he died!
Shangguan Wu snapped out of her daze and ordered Shangguan Xinyi: "Repeat Quan Tianrui's words verbatim."
Shangguan Xinyi stammered, "Quan Tianrui said that you took a group of people to the Shangguan family's door to reveal the truth about Shangguan Xue's divorce—that she couldn't have children, making it impossible for her to get married... Don't worry, what you said is all true, Shangguan Wu can't do anything to you... And... Shangguan Shuang... Shangguan Shuang..."
Shangguan Xinyi couldn't remember, and her brows furrowed even more tightly.
Shangguan Wu could tell at a glance that she had been hypnotized by Quan Tianrui, and further questioning would not yield any information.
She snapped her fingers.
"Go back and find Yu Hao, and tell him to leave the Yu family as soon as possible."
Shangguan Xinyi was stunned at first, then indignantly asked, "Leave the Yu family? On what grounds?"
Shangguan Wu casually remarked, "Because he's not Yu Zhenrong's biological son."
Shangguan Xinyi gritted her teeth: "But I am his biological daughter!"
Shangguan Wu blinked, her tone full of sympathy: "The Yu family has a Yu Wan, whose biological mother has close ties with the Ji family of Xizhou City. What does your mother have? A prison cell with walls on all four sides?"
Shangguan Xinyi choked up and could only glare at her fiercely.
Shangguan Wu calmly said, "If you think I'm useless, you might as well go find your mother and discuss how to get Yu Hao to take over."
Shangguan Xinyi was secretly delighted, but a suspicious expression appeared on her face: "You would be so kind as to remind us?"
Of course not!
In her past life, Xia Zilu betrayed Shangguan Xinyi for Yu Hao, causing her to fall into Yu Hao's hands. Yu Hao did everything to please Shangguan Xinyi, which led to her having her lower body cut off and being thrown into the sea. She could do nothing but quietly feel her life slipping away bit by bit.
She didn't kill them because she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of her past life, and she didn't want Gu Yunzhen to live in darkness with her.
But she couldn't let go of her resentment that they weren't dead!
Shangguan Wu said, half-jokingly, "Anyway, he can figure it out himself, so what's wrong with me doing you a favor?"
After she finished speaking, she subconsciously placed her hand on her stomach.
We need to get rid of these bedbugs as soon as possible, lest yesterday's guess come true and they keep popping up to annoy her. If she gets overwhelmed and falls for them, she doesn't know what extreme or irreversible things she might do.
Heaven will not give her another chance, so she must not make a single wrong step in this life!
"Hmph, my brother knows everything you've said. Why should I owe you a favor? Shangguan Wu, don't even think about taking advantage of me!"
Shangguan Xinyi got out of the car triumphantly and slammed the door shut, as if venting her dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Du Wei had stopped her, Shangguan Wu didn't get out of the car, but just rolled down the window and said, "Let her go."
Whether Shangguan Xinyi goes to Yu Hao or Chu Mingshu, it will be beneficial to her.
Shangguan Shuang's side was also settled; the two reporters voluntarily deleted all the videos, and Madam Han's family members left in shame and anger.
Her neighbors smiled awkwardly at her and went back to their own homes.
After the interlude ended, the two sisters returned to the villa's living room, where Shangguan Xue handed them two cups of ginger tea.
Ginger tea warms the stomach and dispels cold; both Shangguan Wu and Shangguan Shuang drank a whole cup.
"alright."
Shangguan Wu put down the empty cup and walked towards the study: "I'm going in to see if my husband won."
In the study, Gu Yunzhen was still locked in a fierce battle with Old Master Shangguan on the chessboard.
Old Master Shangguan is a highly skilled chess player. If he were to throw the game without leaving a trace, losing two games and winning one would be even more exhausting.
Grandpa Shangguan was a big chess addict and would spend his free time studying chess scores at home. To his surprise, his grandson-in-law's chess skills were so advanced that he seemed to be no less skilled than him.
It's not easy for young people these days to be able to concentrate on playing chess!
Little did the old master Shangguan know that Gu Yunzhen had deliberately spent time learning this skill to please him.
Gu Yunzhen also learned to paint, but not for long. He only memorized some theoretical techniques. To paint well, he still had to put in a lot of hard work.
"grandfather."
Shangguan Wu walked into the study, called out "Grandpa," and went straight to sit down next to Gu Yunzhen, holding his left hand that wasn't playing chess.
Although Gu Yunzhen didn't look at her, he held her small hand with his left hand.
"How many rounds did you play? Did you win?" Shangguan Wu asked casually.
Gu Yunzhen said, "This is the fourth game, and we've lost two."
Shangguan Wu was astonished: "Wow~ You beat Grandpa so quickly, that's amazing!"
Old Master Shangguan glanced at her. Which side are you from?
Shangguan Wu gave the old man a sweet, ingratiating smile.
Old Master Shangguan asked her, "Have you taken care of things outside?"
Shangguan Wu's gaze sharpened for a moment, then she smiled and said, "It was just a small matter, it's all in the past."
Gu Yunzhen turned his head and looked at her with deep eyes.
Shangguan Wu met his gaze openly and honestly.
Gu Yunzhen looked away, but tightened his grip on her hand.
At lunchtime, the table was laden with delicious dishes, especially boiled beef, seafood in gravy, and spicy pickled chicken feet. A bright red chili pepper was a sight to behold, making one's mouth water.
Shangguan Wu had a particularly good appetite and ate two large bowls of rice.
When Gu Yunzhen served the rice, she also brought her a glass of warm water.
At the same time, a word came to his mind, and he couldn't help but keep looking at her.
Shangguan Wu was just about to drink water, so he drank half a cup from his hand.
The rest of the Shangguan family looked at him.
Gu Yunzhen remained calm on his handsome face, letting them scrutinize him.
Whether it was Gu Yunzhen feeding water or Shangguan Wu drinking water, their expressions were very natural, showing that they interacted like this at home, and it wasn't a show for the woman's family.
Only Shangguan Lin curled his lip.
"Wu Bao, next time that brat bothers you, just call the police. Don't waste your time with her!"
