Gu Yunzhen was taken aback.
Shangguan Wu smiled, got out of bed, put on her coat, and walked towards the door.
She opened the door and saw her mother-in-law walking back and forth in the hallway. She asked with concern, "Mom, is something wrong?"
Ji Moyan suddenly looked up and hurriedly walked towards her daughter-in-law: "Wu Bao, come with me for a moment."
Ji Moyan took Shangguan Wu's hand and led her into the study.
And then lock the door from the inside.
Shangguan Wu's eyelids twitched; she had a feeling that things weren't quite as simple as they seemed.
“Let’s sit on the sofa and talk.” Ji Moyan pulled Shangguan Wu to the sofa area and sat down, then took out her phone and handed it to her: “Wu Bao, are the rumors on the forum true?”
Shangguan Wu looked puzzled.
Others may not know about her relationship with the Qin family, but her mother-in-law does. How could she be misled by the rumors on the forum?
Her eyelids twitched, and she took the phone and looked down at it.
Well!
Shangguan Wu was stunned.
How could it be a rumor about Sister Xintong and her cousin?
Wasn't the medical school forum spreading rumors about her and her cousin? Why is it a different person on the Qingkong forum?
Shangguan Wu was dumbfounded.
But the next second, the post suddenly disappeared.
Shangguan Wu looked up in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Ji Moyan looked down at the screen and found the page was blank: "The post was deleted?"
Shangguan Wu nodded: "Deleted."
Ji Mo Yan said with certainty, "It must have been the fourth brother who did it."
Shangguan Wu also thought it was him.
But that's not important. She explained, "Mom, Xintong is indeed my cousin's girlfriend, but neither of them plans to marry each other."
She dared to say that because during her conversations with Chen Xintong, the other party never asked about her older cousin.
This is not the mindset of someone who has a crush on someone.
Therefore, she was certain that Sister Xintong didn't like her cousin; their relationship was simply a business transaction between businessmen.
However, Ji Moyan was still worried: "But what this post says seems quite plausible. Before I went upstairs, I even sent someone to inquire, and the Chen family is indeed preparing for the wedding."
The Chen family...
Shangguan Wu lowered her gaze slightly and pursed her lips: "It's not what I'm thinking, is it?"
What do you think?
"Forced marriage."
The Qin Group has opened up the market with its [Enchanting Color] perfume, and other projects are progressing well thanks to ample funding. Now, another perfume, [Worry-Free], is about to be launched, and the future looks very promising. With the eldest cousin being the president of the Qin Group, it's not hard to guess the Chen family's intention to tie this large company to their coattails.
"Forced marriage?"
Ji Moyan repeated, shaking her head repeatedly: "No, no... Wu Bao, what do we do now?"
Shangguan Wu thought for a moment and then suddenly said, "Mom, let me call Sister Xintong first. She probably doesn't know about this yet."
Ji Moyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then make the call quickly."
"My phone is in the bedroom, I'll go get it." Shangguan Wu got up and left. It wasn't that she didn't remember Chen Xintong's number, but that the other party didn't answer calls from unknown numbers.
As she left the study, she felt that something was amiss.
But I can't quite put my finger on it right now.
When Shangguan Wu returned to the bedroom with a frown, Gu Yunzhen was no longer in the room, nor was his phone.
She guessed he must have gone downstairs to find his older brother.
Shangguan Wu picked up his phone and walked out of the bedroom, but suddenly stopped in his tracks!
She knew something was wrong!
It's the mother-in-law's attitude that's wrong!
Why is my mother-in-law so concerned about my cousin's marriage?
Did my mother-in-law find out...?
"Wu Bao, what are you standing there daydreaming about?"
Ji Moyan stood at the door of the study and asked her daughter-in-law, who was staring blankly in the corridor.
Shangguan Wu snapped out of her daze and quickly walked towards her mother-in-law.
"Hey, slow down, no rush." Ji Moyan quickly stepped forward to support her.
That's an exaggeration.
Shangguan Wu blinked, reassuring her mother-in-law who was on high alert: "Mom, the ground isn't slippery, it's alright."
Ji Moyan said, "But I heard from Lao Si that when you were in Changteng City, you fell down on flat ground and it was quite serious. You stayed in the hospital for a long time."
Shangguan Wu: "..."
Why would that scoundrel tell his mother about her dark past?
I'm so annoyed!
"Mom, you should go and take a look at the flower room at Gu Garden in Changteng City. None of the flowers you sent back are alive."
"What?"
Ji Moyan said incredulously, "But he filmed me a video, and those chrysanthemums were blooming so beautifully."
Shangguan Wu complained, "That was something he had someone buy separately; he's never managed to keep one alive."
Ji Moyan was furious: "That brat!"
But she quickly realized that her daughter-in-law seemed to be doing it on purpose.
Normally she would enjoy listening to them gossip about each other, but things are a bit tricky now, so it's better to prepare early.
Ji Mo Yan coughed twice: "Ahem, Wu Bao, let's not talk about him anymore, let's get down to business."
Shangguan Wu, knowing when to stop, dialed Chen Xintong's number.
The phone rang for a while, and then Chen Xintong's slightly tired voice came from the other end: "Wu Bao, how come you have time to call your sister?"
Shangguan Wu said apologetically, "Sister Xintong, I'm sorry to have disturbed your rest."
Chen Xintong chuckled and said, "No problem, you're welcome to call me anytime."
Shangguan Wu's lips also curled up: "It's like this, Sister Xintong, I want to ask you a question. This question may be a bit presumptuous, but if it's inconvenient for you to answer, you don't have to."
Chen Xintong on the other end of the phone narrowed her eyes, her voice becoming slightly indifferent: "You ask first."
Shangguan Wu keenly noticed this subtle change, and Ji Moyan, who was standing beside him, also noticed it.
Shangguan Wu asked directly, "Are you aware that the Chen family is secretly preparing for a wedding?"
Chen Xintong asked in utter shock, "My family is preparing for a wedding? Who's getting married?"
Shangguan Wu told her, "Some people on the Qingkong Forum said that Sister Xintong and her cousin are getting married this year, and the Chen family is also preparing for the wedding, so I wanted to ask you if it's true."
"Fake! It's all bullshit!"
Chen Xintong blurted out a curse in her excitement, but after realizing what she had said, she coughed twice and said, "Ahem, I'm the person involved, and I don't even know about this. Who's spreading rumors about me?"
Shangguan Wu looked at her mother-in-law.
Ji Moyan shook her head at her.
Shangguan Wu said, "I don't know yet. Does Sister Xintong need my help to investigate?"
Chen Xintong's smile deepened on the other end of the phone, her voice gentle: "Great, Wu Bao is willing to help, then thank you in advance. I'll treat you to a meal when I return to the capital in a couple of days."
"Then I won't disturb Sister Xintong's rest any longer, bye-bye!"
"Bye-Bye."
This call has ended.
Shangguan Wu looked at her mother-in-law: "Sister Xintong doesn't know, it must be the Chen family acting on their own. If we want to investigate, we can start with the Chen family."
Ji Moyan nodded in agreement: "You're right."
Then she added, "The Chen family really has no sense of propriety."
Shangguan Wu gave a helpless "hmm": "Otherwise, Sister Xintong wouldn't have stayed in Changteng City for so long."
Meanwhile, Gu Yunzhen and Gu Yilou remained silent in the study on the second floor.
