Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mother Wen finally remembered why she should find him familiar.

She had seen pictures of him. He was the man in those pictures.

“Little Di... You...”

According to the Internet, the man was kept by her.

Liang Che may have been smashed by the word boyfriend, feeling so dizzy.

He didn’t react for half a day.

He didn’t hear what Ming Shu told Mother Wen after.

Anyway, Mother Wen didn’t say anything in the end; she seemed to have accepted him inexplicably.

Ming Shu asked the doctor to examine Mother Wen.

After that, Ming Shu told her about Father Gu.

“Mom, the Gu guy came, and I told him to leave. If you want to go back to the Gu family, I won’t stop you.

“But you should think about it carefully. If he really cares about you, he shouldn’t have made you bear so many burdens since you got married.

“I know that I caused this matter...”

“Little Di,” Mother Wen interrupted her. “You are my daughter. I won’t blame you.”

She sighed. “But, your Uncle Gu... I need to think about this well.”

She reached out to touch her own belly.

It was home to her and his child.

“Okay, I just let you see how his attitude would be.”

Mother Wen was confused. “What attitude?”

Ming Shu didn’t explain.

But Mother Wen soon knew about it.

The police came.

Ming Shu had called the police.

...

At the Gu family...

Gu Xi was called back. Father Gu sat on one side, and the police on the other side.

Seeing the police, she got quite nervous.

She breathed deeply and walked over calmly. “Dad, what’s the matter, why did you ask me to come back in a hurry?”

Father Gu stared at Gu Xi. From a father’s view, he didn’t believe that his good daughter would push her stepmother down the stairs.

However...

He intended to talk to her first.

However, before he could do that, the police were at the door.

There weren’t servants in the villa. When the police arrived, the bloodstain was still in the living room.

“These two officers have something to ask you.”

Cold sweat slicked Gu Xi’s palms. Stay calm, it’s all right. I’ve got my alibi.

She clenched her fists slightly and retained a decent smile. “What do you want to know, officers?”

One of the police officers said, “Here’s the thing. We received a call from a woman, saying that someone deliberately pushed her mother down the stairs, causing her mother to abort her baby. This victim is your stepmother, Miss Gu.”

“I know...” Gu Xi nodded. “I also received the news just now and was about to go to the hospital when Dad called me.”

“But according to Miss Wen who had called the police, it was you who pushed your stepmother and led to her abortion.”

Gu Xi bit her lips. Fortunately, she was good at acting. So she revealed a confused look on her face, as if she really couldn’t understand what the police were saying.

She shook her hands and showed some wronged nervousness. “How’s that possible? Why would I do something like that? I know I was not very close to my stepmother, but it wasn’t that bad...”

The police continued, “Miss Gu, did you come back yesterday?”

Gu Xi shook her head. “No, I’d been staying with Mr. Cui, President of Hengfeng Group, yesterday the whole time. I didn’t come back.”

The police sought confirmation to Cui Jingyang then.

It was confirmed that Gu Xi was with him.

“I noticed the villa has been equipped with cameras, may I check the footage?”

Gu Xi still acted calm. Father Gu nodded and took the police to check the camera footage.

However, the camera seemed broken. It didn’t have records since last month.

Gu Xi breathed a faint sigh of relief. The cameras in the villa hadn’t been useful, and she almost forgot about them.

But, perhaps it was because no one remembered, no one noticed when they were broken.

Even God was helping her.

“We installed the cameras in the villa just in case, and they were seldom checked. Perhaps the servants didn’t notice it, either,” Father Gu explained to the police.

Although it seemed a little coincidental when the cameras broke down, Gu Xi had her witness and was unsuspected.

The police stayed a little longer for investigation, then left.

Father Gu sent them away. Waiting for the police car to disappear out of sight, Father Gu closed the gate.

“Gu Xi.”

He called in a deep voice.

Gu Xi lowered her head. “Dad...”

Father Gu asked, “Tell me clearly, what’s going on?”

Gu Xi was still innocent. “Dad, why do you ask me this? I don’t know...”

“Tell me the truth, did you push your aunt!”

Gu Xi bit her lips.

She sounded like she was on the verge of crying. “Dad, don’t you believe me?”

Father Gu’s face was sullen. “You said you didn’t come back, but why was the report about your aunt in my study in a different position?”

“I don’t know about any report,” Gu Xi murmured. “Aunt was at home, perhaps she was in your study and touched it.”

Father Gu: “Your aunt will never go into my study.”

Gu Xi: “You weren’t at home, perhaps she’d gone into the study by accident? Dad, like I said, I didn’t come back yesterday, Mr. Cui can prove that for me. Why don’t you just believe me?”

As she said, Gu Xi’s eyes reddened and she seemed to almost cry.

Then the crystal tears really fell down her cheeks.

Father Gu scolded angrily, “Do you really think the camera broke down?”

This sentence made Gu Xi stunned on the spot.

With a flash of lightning in her mind, she seemed to think of something.

“Father...”

Gu Xi looked at Father Gu with shock and walked up to pull his arm.

“Dad, I didn’t do it on purpose... I was just... I came back yesterday to get some stuff, and I went into your study...”

“Then I happened to see the report...”

“My mind was messy at the time...”

“She wanted to talk to me, then I don’t know, I...”

“Dad, I’m sorry, it wasn’t on purpose.”

Gu Xi read the report and learned that Mother Wen was pregnant, then her brain buzzed.

Since Mother Wen married into the family with Wen Di...

She never liked them!

But she couldn’t show that, because that would only make others blame her.

If Mother Wen was going to give birth to a new baby, even if it were a girl, she would definitely share her father’s love with her.

And if it were to be a boy...

Wouldn’t the Gu family be his world in the future?

She didn’t remember at all what Mother Wen was saying at that time. Her thoughts were scattered, and she saw that hateful face in front of her.

So she just...

She pushed her.

Then she was frightened and ran away.

She admitted it to Cui Jingyang and asked Cui Jingyang to help her.

After listening to the whole story, Father Gu raised his hand in the air and made to slap her. But his hand then paused.

“You are such a fool!”

Gu Xi pulled Father Gu’s arm. “Dad, please, don’t tell the police. It wasn’t on purpose.”

She regretted it later and was so scared.

But she was really mad back then...

So many years of accumulated hatred exploded inside her at that moment.

“Enough.” Father Gu pushed her hand aside. “Don’t tell anyone about this, but tell what you said to the police just now to the public, do you understand?”

It was a crime of intentional injury to push someone down some stairs and cause an abortion.

Even though Father Gu was really angry, he wouldn’t leave her alone.

Gu Xi nodded, in tears.

“Dad, what about Aunt...”

“I’ll handle that.”

Father Gu paused and asked again, “About Mr. Cui?”

“I’ll tell him,” Gu Xi said.

“Good.” Father Gu nodded. “I see Mr. Cui likes you for real. You need to be thoughtful at the right time. If the Gu family can unite with Hengfeng, it’ll advance us to another level.”

Gu Xi knew what her father was indicating.

She nodded. “Yes, I know.”
