Sun Qianyu took a light breath and looked coldly at Ye Wentian.
"Before you question me, please answer my question first: what exactly is your relationship with Ying Houyang?"
After hearing Gu Fei's thoughts, Sun Qianyu suddenly came to her senses.
She felt like she had become a different person after meeting Ye Wentian.
She became someone she no longer recognized.
She lives in the Sun family, a place where even relatives are full of deceit and treachery, yet she trusts a stranger to this extent.
Did a donkey kick your brain?
Ye Wentian was startled; he never expected her to ask that question...
"Ying Houyang is my cousin, didn't I tell you?"
"Cousin? So, her father is your uncle? Or is her mother your aunt?"
Sun Qianyu's eyes were cold and sharp, and her tone was colder than ever before.
"But I remember reading on the news that the Ye family was wiped out by the four major families, including your blood relatives. They were all killed. How did your cousin survive?"
Ye Wentian's expression instantly turned ugly.
It wasn't just because the old story of his family's extermination was brought up again, but also because his lies were exposed, which made him furious.
What do you mean? Are you doubting me?
Ye Wentian looked coldly at Sun Qianyu.
"I don't need to explain so much to you. Many things here involve my family's secrets, but I can assure you of one thing: I haven't lied to you, I've never lied to you, and my relationship with Ying Houyang is definitely not what you think!"
He spoke with such certainty, and with such anger, that he slightly intimidated Sun Qianyu.
Could he be telling the truth?
If it's true, then her suspicions are indeed a bit excessive, especially considering how good he was to her.
"I don't doubt you, it's just... I heard some rumors from others. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have believed what others said. I apologize to you."
Ye Wentian's expression softened slightly upon hearing this, but he was still very displeased: "Let's put this matter aside for now. I'm asking you, you clearly promised me to drive Gu Fei away and slap him in the face, so why are you keeping him here!"
"I……"
Sun Qianyu had no way of explaining it.
Subconsciously, she didn't want to tell Ye Wentian the secret that she could hear Gu Fei's thoughts, because she had already begun to doubt him.
So after a moment's hesitation, she finally lied to him: "I want to get more information about Liu Xiangxiang from him. It seems like he's quite familiar with her."
"You need to know everything about Liu Xiangxiang, and I can tell you everything."
“That’s different, Brother Ye. Trust me, I can handle him. And I promise you, after I’ve used him, I’ll definitely help you get revenge on him.”
Sun Qianyu stepped forward, grabbed Ye Wentian's arm, and shook it coquettishly.
Seeing that she was still acting like a little girl, Ye Wentian felt a little relieved.
It seems she's still quite obsessed with herself.
It's not a big deal if we just postpone dealing with Gu Fei.
"Alright, I'll give you another chance and see how you perform. But if you disappoint me again, our cooperation will be in trouble."
Ye Wentian was so preoccupied with dealing with Gu Fei that he completely forgot about his gentle and considerate persona and, just like before, started threatening Sun Qianyu.
Sun Qianyu, who was already full of suspicion towards Ye Wentian and had begun to lie to him, became even more clear-headed upon seeing his attitude.
Men are all the same, none of them are any good!
Ye Wentian seems to be gradually revealing his true colors.
After calming Ye Wentian down, Sun Qianyu went upstairs to change her clothes and came to the door of the reception room.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard Gu Fei's inner thoughts coming from inside the house.
[The room was filled with so many family photos. Although Sun Qianyu's relationship with her two older brothers was rather strained, especially in recent years due to their bitter feud over inheritance, she actually longed for their care and attention.]
Unfortunately, being born into such a large family meant she was destined not to receive true love from her family.
Her older brother is plotting to kill her; he's even bribed her butler to monitor her, ready to strike at any moment.
Her second brother wouldn't actually want to kill her, but he overheard his eldest brother and the housekeeper talking on the phone, yet deliberately kept it from her, hoping they would fight it out so he could reap the benefits.
Sigh, not a single member of this family is easy to deal with.
Sun Qianyu froze instantly, standing frozen at the doorway.
Did the eldest brother bribe the butler?
When did this happen?
The housekeeper watched her grow up, and she almost regarded him as a real family member. How could the housekeeper treat her like this!
And what about my second brother? He knew about this but deliberately kept it a secret.
That's impossible.
She frowned, turned around and went into the empty room next door. After hesitating for a moment, she took out her phone and called her second brother.
"Xiaoyu? Is something the matter?"
The second brother on the other end of the phone spoke with a doting tone, tinged with laughter, as if he were truly a loving older brother to his younger sister, without a trace of resentment.
Sun Qianyu gripped her phone tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "Second brother, you knew that eldest brother and the butler were conspiring against me, why didn't you tell me?"
"..."
There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone.
After a long pause, the second brother let out a cold laugh.
"You found out? Let me guess. There's no way your brother would tell you something like this on his own initiative. Even if you found out, and you put the evidence in front of him, he'll still deny it to the death."
"So, did the butler tell you? Did the butler betray my elder brother, or did you capture the butler and torture him until he implicated me as well?"
"Hehe, don't blame me. Being in the Sun family, I'm only doing this to protect myself. After all, not taking the initiative is already giving you a lot of face."
What kind of talk is that?
"Second brother, you have disappointed me greatly."
After hanging up the phone, Sun Qianyu's eyes were red.
I never imagined that my eldest and second eldest brothers would see her as a thorn in their side in their struggle for the inheritance!
It's laughable that she's still dreaming of the day when her family can live happily together like they did when she was a child.
She's the dumbest idiot in the world!
But after she came to her senses, she felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
So, how did Gu Fei find out about this?
He knew everything about the Sun family!
Especially regarding matters concerning her.
There are many things he could never know even if he investigated... He was practically like an omnipotent God, looking down on her.
Just thinking about this gave her goosebumps.
Who exactly is he?
If he truly knows everything, especially everything about the Sun family, then cooperating with him is definitely better than becoming his enemy.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
Gu Fei knows her so well, but she knows nothing about Gu Fei. How can she fight against him?
