Chapter 218: The Little Clown

Yuan Xiao waved and asked Gu Lanting to come over to eat.

Gu Lanting sat down, "I guess my aunt will get nothing."

How could he stay here to be caught if he dared to come in and steal things openly?

Yuan Xiao responded vaguely.

Not long after, Wang Yazhi came back, "Xiaoxiao, they said Xiaohui is not here and went back to her hometown."

Yuan Xiao just finished a bowl of noodles and wiped his mouth calmly, "If you stole something, you must not flee for fear of crime."

"Xiaohui stole something? What is missing?"

Yuan Xiao smiled slightly, "It's not important, mother, I can handle this matter myself."

Few people knew that she had ginseng and ganoderma lucidum in her hands. Xiaohui was either instigated or instructed by someone.

Gu Lanting directly reported to the police for Yuan Xiao and asked them to investigate.

Not to mention that Yuan Xiao has something that can save his life. Even if it is sold at the market price, it would easily cost tens of thousands.

After resting at home for two days, Yuan Xiao had to go back to school.

If it weren't for her good grades and her serious attendance in class, the school would definitely not agree to her asking for leave in this way.

Professor Wen didn't have much opinion on her. After all, Yuan Xiao had already made him proud.

Now whoever mentions Yuan Xiao, they have to say that he has good vision and accepted such a good student.

Gu Lanting returned home on a rare occasion.

He was going to submit a marriage report, and he had to inform Gu Changsheng and Bai Hua first.

Whether they agreed or not was another matter, he had to do his duty.

Gu Changsheng didn't have any opinion, and he still had a good impression of Yuan Xiao.

"If you marry someone, you must not let them down."

Gu Lanting just nodded.

Bai Hua, on the other hand, said sarcastically, "If your father hadn't been here, you probably wouldn't have told me that you were going to get married, right?"

Gu Changsheng looked over calmly, "Your own son is getting married, what's your attitude? You don't care about him, so why do you have to act like a stepmother!"

Bai Hua was choked and her face turned pale.

Mother Zhou came out with the food, "It's rare for the whole family to be together, let's have a good meal, and there's Ganoderma lucidum, I made some soup today."

Yuan Xiao's ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum had just been stolen, and Gu Lanting was sensitive to the word Ganoderma lucidum.

He opened the lid and asked, "Ganoderma lucidum? Where did you get it?"

Bai Hua stood up, "Did you buy it? Or did you pick it up?"

Gu Lanting glanced at her, "Where did you buy it?"

Bai Hua threw the magazine in her hand down with force, angrily saying, "What are you doing? Are you interrogating me as a prisoner?"

Gu Lanting said coldly, "That's not what I meant. You just need to tell me where you bought it?"

Bai Hua snorted coldly, her eyes fixed on a certain place, and she thought for a while before speaking, "I bought it from Dr. Liu."

"Are you sure?"

Bai Hua looked panicked, and subconsciously retorted, "Of course!"

"How much did you buy?"

Even though Gu Lanting was not close to Bai Hua, he knew what kind of person she was.

Ever since Yuan Xiao came to the capital, she has been acting like a clown.

And now, she is lying.

If the ginseng and ganoderma lucidum in Yuan Xiao's possession were stolen by Bai Hua, this would be hilarious.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Gu Lanting asked in a cold voice, "How much did you buy?"

Bai Hua turned around suddenly, "You really treat me as a prisoner, do

n't you?" Mother Zhou came out of the kitchen and said helplessly, "Let's eat, why are you arguing again? I just bought some ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, it shouldn't be that serious!"

"What a coincidence, there is ginseng?"

Mother Zhou was stunned, "Yes, Madam bought it from outside."

Gu Lanting looked disappointed and asked in a deep voice, "Mom, where did you get these things from?"

Gu Changsheng slammed the table and stood up, and said angrily, "I'm asking you, where did these things come from!"

Bai Hua was startled, "Su, Su Ding gave it to me. When she gave it to me, she didn't let me tell you, so I said I bought it myself, and I didn't even tell Mother Zhou."

"Su Ding?" Gu Lanting frowned.

"Yes! She comes to see me every year. I told her about the Lingzhi. Not long after, she gave me a lot of it, and I haven't asked for money yet! Lanting, mom said that it was a pity that Su Ding married Xiaoguang. If she were my daughter-in-law, how could I disagree?"

Gu Lanting gritted his teeth, tightened his jaw, and laughed in anger: "Then do you know where she got this Lingzhi from?"

Bai Hua shook his head, with a bad feeling in his heart.

"Many people are missing from Yuanxiao's family. The Lingzhi was stolen." Gu Lanting said coldly.

He raised his hand to cover his eyes and pressed his temples.

Bai Hua didn't believe it and retorted sharply: "How can you be sure that these are the things that Yuan Xiao has lost? Maybe Su Ding brought them back from somewhere else?"

"I'm not sure, so the police will come to question me later."

Gu Lanting stood up and made a move to leave.

Bai Hua chased after him, "You want the police to come to question me? Where do you put the reputation of my Gu family?"

Gu Lanting stopped and said with his back to Bai Hua: "Think carefully about what you have done these days. Have you ever considered the reputation of the Gu family?"

Bai Hua stared at him leaving in a daze, and shuddered when she thought of Gu Changsheng sitting behind him.

Contrary to his usual behavior, Gu Changsheng only asked her a few questions in a slow and steady voice.

Bai Hua answered all the questions, and Gu Changsheng said, "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise..."

"What if you don't?"

"Otherwise, I will divorce you!"

Bai Hua was shocked, "Gu Changsheng, our marriage is a military marriage!"

Gu Changsheng looked tired, "This is not a problem you should consider now, you should think about how to deal with the police who will come later."

...

When Yuan Xiao heard the result from the police, he was stunned.

Bai Hua was the wife of the Gu family after all, how could she do such a thing?

Of course, Bai Hua did not admit it.

She insisted that it was given by Su Ding.

The problem was that the things were in her hands, and the police even extracted fingerprints from the packaging bag, which were only from Bai Hua and Zhou Ma.

Xiao Hui, who was found, also identified Bai Hua.

But for the sake of Gu Lanting, Yuan Xiao could not really treat Bai Hua as a thief, and finally reconciled privately. But even after

the reconciliation, Bai Hua still insisted that the things were given by Su Ding.

Yuan Xiao had a headache and could not tell who was right and who was wrong in this matter.

Gu Lanting came to apologize in person, after all, Bai Hua was his mother.

Yuan Xiao didn't take it to heart, "It's not a big deal. I always look at you and your family separately."

Bai Hua is Bai Hua, and Gu Lanting is Gu Lanting.

But she always feels uncomfortable about this matter.

The last time Bai Hua opened a store to cheat her, after being found out by the police, she admitted it very readily, not like someone who would never admit her mistakes.
