Seeing that Gu Nianqiang was about to say more, Jiang Yilai quickly stood in the middle and gave her a wink, warning her in a low voice.
"Gu Nianqiang, you'd better not cause trouble. Grandma hasn't been feeling well lately, so don't say anything carelessly."
Gu Nianqiang looked regretful, wiped away a tear, and nodded.
"That's true. You and my brother have no feelings for each other, so you'd definitely be indifferent to something like this. Since you want to keep it a secret, then do as you wish."
As she spoke, she deliberately stepped back and looked at Old Mrs. Gu with a sympathetic gaze.
Grandma Gu isn't stupid; she could tell something was off from her behavior just now.
Especially since Jiang Yilai was so nervous and stood in the middle, it was because he didn't want her to know what was going on.
Seeing that Gu Nianqiang was about to leave, Old Madam Gu quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"Wait a minute, explain yourself before you leave. What are you hiding from me? What happened to your brother?"
Gu Nianqiang said with difficulty, "If your dear granddaughter doesn't want you to know, just understand her feelings and pretend you don't know anything."
Judging from her sarcastic tone, Jiang Yilai knew that her presence here was no accident.
She must have come to provoke the old lady after learning about Gu Qihang's situation.
"Gu Nianqiang, what are you saying? I think you came here today just to cause trouble. You're coming with me right now."
Gu Nianqiang shrugged: "Of course I'll leave. I'm just passing by. Don't overthink it."
Grandma Gu felt increasingly uncomfortable and, holding Jiang Yilai's hand, asked, "Yilai, what's going on? What did she mean by that?"
Jiang Yilai patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Grandma, don't think too much. This person just can't stand to see us doing well and is deliberately trying to do something bad."
“No, I think something’s wrong with her today. Something must have happened to Qihang. If you won’t tell me, I’ll go find her and ask her.”
As she spoke, Grandma Gu pulled away from Jiang Yilai's hand and chased after her, prompting Jiang Yilai to rush forward and stop her.
"Grandma, calm down and don't let her words affect you."
Grandma Gu watched Gu Nianqiang walk away, then looked at Jiang Yilai with a puzzled expression.
“I know this woman. She wouldn’t say these things for no reason. Something must have happened. You suddenly stayed home with me and said that Yuyang was coming back to be with me too. It all happened so suddenly.”
Thinking of this, Grandma Gu was surprised and said, "I didn't hear Ming'en and his wife arguing yesterday. It seems that Du Yi received a phone call, got excited, ran out, and then fainted. She must have been stimulated."
Following this line of reasoning, the old lady seemed to have discovered many important issues.
Jiang Yilai took her arm and said, "Grandma, don't think too much. If you don't want to go shopping, let's go back first."
Grandma Gu said sternly, "Lai Lai, I know you care about me, but I need to know the truth."
The pleasant atmosphere was ruined by Gu Nianqiang; this woman just couldn't stand seeing them doing well.
Faced with the old lady's gaze, Jiang Yilai didn't know how to speak.
She took a deep breath and said, "Grandma, I'll tell you about this when I get home."
Even if she were to speak, this wasn't the right occasion. She should at least communicate with everyone before making a decision. Jiang Yilai was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it and would faint.
Seeing how much she valued it, Old Mrs. Gu already had a bad feeling.
Something big must have happened for the whole family to suddenly undergo these changes.
"Okay, let's go back now."
Jiang Yilai nodded and helped her leave the mall. Just as she got into the car, she received a message from Fu Nanxiao. According to the forensic examination, some residual drugs were found in Gu Qihang's stomach.
