Chapter 2171 Yes, I did it on purpose
"Madam Yuan, you are wrong. First, I don't look down on you. In my eyes, all people are the same. There is no high or low. I will not fawn on you just because you are of noble status. Second, you were the first to interrupt my topic. Don't you allow me to refute you after you scolded me so harshly? I think that with Madam Yuan's status and upbringing, she should not be self-righteous and arrogant!" Gu Ning retorted.
"You..." Madam Yuan was once again so angry at Gu Ning that she was speechless. Gu Ning said that in her eyes, all people are the same, without high or low, which obviously meant that he did not take her seriously.
Such contempt made her very angry.
But Gu Ning also said that she was the one who interrupted first and then she refuted, which is true. So, if she continues to embarrass her, wouldn't that be what Gu Ning said, self-righteous and arrogant?
Although she is self-righteous and arrogant, it doesn't mean she is stupid or shameless.
It would be fine if the other party was an ordinary person, but Gu Ning happened to be the future granddaughter-in-law of the Leng family. So if she continued to hold on to it, the matter would probably become a problem between the two families, which might not be good for her.
"What a sharp-tongued girl! Okay, I won't bother with you today. But little girl, this society is not as naive as you think. People are divided into high and low, and power is everything. So, little girl, you should be low-key." Madam Yuan said in a teaching tone.
Although she stopped pestering them, she still wanted to save face, so she said these words to make them think that she stopped pestering them because she was generous, and not because she could not pester them anymore because of Gu Ning's blockade.
Gu Ning did not deny that Madam Yuan's words were good, and even agreed with them, but so what? When it is time to be arrogant, you still have to be arrogant.
"Similarly, I also want to say a word to Madam Yuan. Although you are powerful, you are not above the law. If you are not clean, you will get into trouble sooner or later." Gu Ning said meaningfully, with a naked look on his face, as if he saw through Madam Yuan.
Madam Yuan also felt like she was being watched, so her eyes were a little evasive out of guilt.
However, suddenly, Madam Yuan suddenly realized something and asked a question. Gu Ning suddenly mentioned Song Yang and Zhao Xiaoxi, and in front of her. Could it be that this Gu Ning really knew something?
Thinking of this, Madam Yuan felt even worse.
Although he was wondering if Gu Ning really knew something, he couldn't ask.
If Gu Ning didn't know and was just suspicious, then by asking, wouldn't that be a disguised admission?
However, since Zhao Xiaoxi and Song Yang are both dead, no one knows about the incident anymore, so as long as she doesn't expose herself or admit it, she doesn't believe that anyone can do anything to her.
Thinking of this, Madam Yuan relaxed a little, stopped arguing with Gu Ning, and started eating her meal.
However, after what happened just now, she had lost her appetite. But in order to prevent them from seeing her guilty conscience, Madam Yuan still forced herself to eat.
However, no matter how Madam Yuan pretended to remain calm, everyone already knew what they should know. It was just that Madam Xu and Yan Min were not the kind of people who meddle in other people's business or stir up trouble, so they did not take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
Madam Yuan had no appetite, but Gu Ning was enjoying the meal very much, praising this dish and that dish from time to time. Hearing this, Madam Yuan lost her appetite even more and really wanted to throw down her chopsticks and leave, if she didn't want to maintain a little demeanor.
Madam Yuan Er and Madam Peng also knew that Madam Yuan Da was feeling very uncomfortable, so they ate as quickly as possible and left.
As soon as Madam Yuan and the others left, Madam Xu asked Gu Ning, "Gu Ning, you mentioned the matter of Song Yang and Zhao Xiaoxi just now. Was that intentional?"
Although it was a question, I had already confirmed it in my heart.
But even if Gu Ning did it on purpose, Madam Xu didn't think there was anything wrong or inappropriate. Although she didn't know Gu Ning, she didn't think Gu Ning was the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason.
Therefore, there must be a reason why Gu Ning targeted Madam Yuan.
"Yes, I did it on purpose. In fact, I discovered the affair between Song Yang and Zhao Xiaoxi by accident. One time I went to a bar and saw Song Yang talking to a woman on the terrace. I have good hearing, so I heard their conversation. The woman was Zhao Xiaoxi's friend, and she asked Song Yang if he had killed Zhao Xiaoxi. Although Song Yang did not admit it, his reaction has confirmed that Zhao Xiaoxi's death was related to him."
"Later, I learned from their conversation that Zhao Xiaoxi was the illegitimate daughter of the eldest wife of the Yuan family. Madam Yuan wanted to get rid of her, so she bribed Song Yang. Not long after Zhao Xiaoxi disappeared, Song Yang fell in love with the daughter of a relative of Madam Yuan, and they got married after graduation. After Song Yang married the daughter of Madam Yuan's relative, their family's company also developed rapidly, so this matter is obviously related to Madam Yuan." Gu Ning said.
Gu Ning told them all this to explain the reasons for his behavior towards Madam Yuanda just now, but he also knew that they would not tell anyone, so he told them.
It was even more impossible for Jing Yunyao and Miao Jingjing to tell anyone, and even if she didn't say it, they would have guessed it from what had just happened.
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu and Yan Min took a deep breath. They never expected things to turn out like this.
Although they suspected that it was related to Madam Yuan, it was just a suspicion after all. It didn't count if it wasn't confirmed.
But since Gu Ning said so, they no longer had any doubts.
I can’t believe that Madam Yuan would dare to do such a thing. She is so bold.
"Then could Song Yang's death be related to Zhao Xiaoxi's friend?" asked Mrs. Xu.
"I don't know about that. Just keep it to yourself what I said to you. Don't tell anyone, otherwise I might get into trouble." Although Gu Ning believed them, he still reminded them.
"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone."
Madam Xu and Yan Min also knew the importance of the matter, so they immediately expressed their opinions.
After Madam Yuan and her friends left the restaurant, they parted ways with Madam Peng. But before they parted, Madam Yuan warned Madam Peng, "I hope you won't tell anyone about what happened today. Zhao Xiaoxi is indeed Wen Ye's illegitimate daughter. Although I don't like her, I don't have the courage to do anything to her, so don't think too much about it."
