Chapter 1189: Dangerous Game
When Gu Zi heard all this, something didn’t sit right.
If the Gu family was truly strapped for cash, then where on earth had Lin Miao gotten that one thousand yuan when Lin Cheng had his accident? Had her grand investment dreams in the capital already gone belly-up?
And this sudden food poisoning scandal—it felt all too orchestrated, as if every step had been meticulously planned by the Gu family. If that were the case, then Lin Miao was almost certainly involved.
She narrowed her eyes and asked coolly, "Did Lin Miao ever show up during the whole poisoning incident?"
An Yun shook her head. "No. That day, it was Zhang Mei and Gu Shan who came to the restaurant. Lin Miao never made an appearance. It’s been Zhang Mei handling everything. She even accused our family of deliberately targeting them, saying we tricked Lin Miao into giving us money. But in truth, Lin Miao brought that one thousand yuan entirely on her own—and we never even accepted it. After the food poisoning happened, Lin Miao hasn’t spoken a word about it."
The more she spoke, the more perplexed An Yun became. Ever since Lin Miao had returned to the Gu household, every single time the Gu couple tried to approach the Lin family, they always had Gu Zi in tow. And if anything ever happened, Lin Miao would always step in, stirring the pot in her usual fashion.
But this time? Total silence. Not even a trace of her opinion. That wasn’t like her.
An Yun didn’t buy for a second that Lin Miao had suddenly grown a conscience. No—something about this was deeply, deeply off.
