Chapter 461 - 383 Swap_2
In her view, once Xiaofeng married Yecheng, she would end up like herself and her husband, mutually disdainful. Thus, such a woman needed to be told upfront, to leave with the awareness of her own situation.
When Yan Ruolan mentioned Xiaofeng’s lack of education, Yan Junmei remembered Xiaofeng’s fluent English and couldn’t help but speak up for her, "I don’t care about the rest, I’m only concerned about the child’s lineage."
"Yes, yes, this is a major issue, we absolutely can’t let her muddy our Gu Family bloodline with mixed blood. Of course, what’s most important is the fear that she may have a paramour. Just imagine if one day her paramour appears and they collaborate from within and without to take down our Gu Family. If that happens, then we’re in real trouble. If the child is not related to Yecheng, then naturally there must be another man involved.
What that man intends to do, whether he covets everything of the Gu Family from the shadows, all of this is an unknown. Thus, we cannot let our guard down on this matter.
"Junmei, you understand some things better than I do, such as the principle ’better to kill by mistake than to let go.’ If their target is indeed the Gu Family, the whole Gu Family, it would be terrible if it reached that point." The more Yan Ruolan thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
Their target started with the Quan Family. After taking down the Quan Family, the next target would be the Quan Family: "Junmei, think about it, ever since she came to the Imperial Capital, has anyone said anything good about our Yecheng? It’s all negative talk, and you haven’t heard the half of it—it’s been spreading in an ugly way. I even heard that at the Xu Family’s wedding banquet, one faction of the Xu Family even threatened to cancel Acheng’s right to inheritance. Junmei, do you think this is just a coincidence? Do you think Su Xiaofeng could be planted by the Xu Family at Yecheng’s side, just to harm our Yecheng, to harm the Gu Family?"
Listening to Yan Ruolan’s words, Yan Junmei frowned, "Where did you hear about the cancellation of Acheng’s right to inherit?" If this truly involved Acheng’s inheritance, she would definitely investigate thoroughly to see who was behind this mischief.
"Everyone who went to the banquet knows about it." Seeing Yan Junmei’s obliviousness, Yan Ruolan explained what happened at the banquet.
The more Yan Junmei heard, the more alarmed she felt. This was a barefaced conspiracy.
"You handle this for me first. I need to sort out some things and see how to deal with them. Go quickly, but remember not to tell anyone about this. Bring the result directly to me when you have it." Yan Junmei was somewhat confused at this point.
