Gu Nianqiang felt as if she had fallen into an abyss. Faced with the questioning gazes of the Gu family, she felt like she had nowhere to escape.
Du Yi asked in surprise, "So you two knew each other a long time ago. No wonder I said you were so good to her and that you had always been close."
Gu Nianqiang explained, "We met by chance abroad back then, and we..."
"Stop lying, stop treating us like fools, go back, don't embarrass yourself here."
Grandma Gu reached out to interrupt her, saying that from the moment Mei Yin appeared, it was all a lie.
Moreover, Gu Nianqiang's existence is also part of the lie.
Gu Nianqiang was as if struck by lightning and could not move, so she could only grit her teeth and follow behind.
She hadn't gone far when she heard Mayne struggling. She turned around abruptly and saw the police officers handcuffing her.
Mei Yin happened to meet her gaze and was about to ask for help when Gu Nianqiang quickly shook her head with a wink.
Now that Myne has been arrested, she can still find a way to rescue her.
But if she were to implicate herself, then both of them would be imprisoned.
Myne gritted her teeth and swallowed her words back. Now she could only pray that Myne would come to save her as soon as possible.
Gu Nianqiang didn't know how she got into the car; her mind was blank, and she didn't respond even when Du Yi called her several times.
"Qiangqiang, while there's still time, tell me the truth quickly. I can see your grandma and the others are very angry. Don't make things worse, or even I won't be able to protect you."
Gu Nianqiang regained her senses and frantically grabbed her hand: "Mom, please, you must protect me. You promised you would stand by my side. If they blame me later, please don't abandon me."
Hearing her say that, Du Yi vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"What's going on? Are you in cahoots with Myne?"
"Mom, do you remember I told you before that I would make the Gu family belong to us?"
Du Yi looked at her without replying, initially thinking she was joking.
Gu Nianqiang said, "What I've done is to gain control of the Gu family. I don't want you to always have to live at your grandmother's beck and call. I want to take the Gu family away from you."
"Are you crazy? I've never had such a thought."
Du Yi really disliked the old woman and wished she would disappear; it was second only to her not wanting to be around her.
At the time, she was deeply in love with Gu Ming'en and never thought of competing with him for the business.
"I was bewitched, trying to make you happy, but somehow things turned out this way."
"So, you really orchestrated all of this, and Mayne isn't a member of the Gu family. What about Jiang Yilai? She keeps saying the keepsake is hers. Is all of this true or false?"
Gu Nianqiang burst into tears upon hearing this, prompting Du Yi to pat her in distress.
"Why are you still crying now? When we get back, won't you have enough to cry about? Tell me everything that happened so I can help you."
Du Yi genuinely cared about her, even though he didn't yet know the truth of the matter.
When I realized that the matter was related to Gu Nianqiang, I wanted to protect her.
Gu Nianqiang nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes, she is the real granddaughter of the Gu family."
"So you really did know all along that these tokens of yours were stolen by you? You are incredibly audacious."
“Mom, I didn’t want to do this either. I was scared when I found out the truth. I love Fu Nanxiao so much, I can’t let them be together.”
"So you concealed this fact and even stole their keepsakes."
