“We’ll go to the Gu family to find Gu Junru and Liang Yun. Our Zhou family and the Gu family have been friends for generations. The Gu family wouldn’t risk a falling out over a woman who just married into the family.”
Du Shulan entered the living room at some point, her face filled with excitement. She was extremely worried after hearing that her daughter had confessed and was being held in the police station.
Zhou Renli felt a wave of helplessness wash over him. He had endured it all these years, initially thinking that since they were now husband and wife, they should live a good life together. But after Du Shulan gave birth to their eldest son, she began to change completely. It turned out that everything had been nothing but deception and pretense.
Zhou Renyi was speechless at his brainless sister-in-law. Only someone like her would think the Gu family wouldn't break ties with Zhou over a woman. Who was that woman? She was the Gu family's daughter-in-law; once married into the Gu family, she was one of them.
Grandpa Zhou looked disgusted; his eldest son had been dragged down by a woman like this. No wonder Siyun was capable of such a thing; with a mother who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, it was hard for her not to go astray over time.
No one paid any attention to Du Shulan, and Old Master Zhou sighed. "Renli, take some gifts and go to the Gu and Huang families to see what their attitude is. See if there's any way to change things."
Zhou Renli stood up. "Okay, Father, I understand. I'll go prepare the gifts now and visit the Gu and Huang families later."
Upon hearing that they were going to the Gu and Huang families, Du Shulan wanted to go too. She wanted to talk to Liang Yun and ask if they could let Si Yun go. "Ren Li, I'll go too. I'll talk to Liang Yun and ask her not to hold it against me. Gu Junru listens to her in everything."
Zhou Renli wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, Du Shulan had already walked towards the living room door. He turned around and glanced at Old Master Zhou.
Grandpa Zhou waved his hand at Zhou Renli. He knew that even if he could stop Du Shulan now, she would still secretly go to the Gu family. It was better to let her go with him; with Zhou Renli watching over things, things wouldn't get out of control.
Police came to the Gu family's house. Huang Zhenhua took Su Xingran to the pharmacy. The police went to the Huang family's house but couldn't find anyone, so they went to the Gu family's house instead.
Xiao Xue and Gu Moyue stayed at home reading. After this incident, Liang Yun told them to stay home and not go out for the time being.
The three women of the Gu family—Xiao Xue and Gu Moyue, two students—were sitting on the sofa reading books, while Liang Yun was reading a newspaper. The family's housekeeper entered with a group of people.
The three of them looked up at the noise and saw the two policemen following behind Aunt Hu. Aunt Hu said to Liang Yun, "Yun, the officers said they are looking for Xiao Xue."
Xiao Xue stood up. "I am Xiao Xue. May I ask what business you two officers have with me?"
One of the officers said, "Comrade Xiao Xue, we're here to inform you and Comrade Su Xingran that the suspect Zhou Siyun has been apprehended."
"According to Zhou Siyun's statement, she felt that you had stolen the person her cousin Dujuan liked because of Comrade Gu Moting's marriage to you, which made Dujuan sad and upset. Zhou Siyun decided to teach you a lesson."
"As for Comrade Su Xingran, we haven't found her. Since you are all family, I will also tell you about Zhou Siyun's motive for the crime. Please pass this on to her."
