Chapter 1011. Defend (1)
Gu Lingsha panicked, unable to mask the anxiety in her eyes as she quickly shook her head. “I don’t know. He was already gone when I woke up this morning. I asked his subordinates, but they don’t know where he went either! And with Morrison’s incident, I think he…”
“How can these things keep happening?! Utter nonsense!” Qi Qiming was irate. “Can’t the reporters report something else? Lingsha, this sort of news won’t come by if no flames fan them. I hope you can be more careful in the future. Your identity is different now as you’ve become the Qi family’s daughter-in-law. I don’t want to know about your relationship with Mu Yuchen in the past, and I don’t want anyone else to know about it as well. Look at these pictures and write-ups. Even if they aren’t real, it’ll be a problem if it keeps spreading!”
As Qi Qiming sounded really miserable, Gu Lingsha felt guilty too. “I’m sorry for making you worry, Uncle Qi! I’ll ask my father to help suppress the news. Between Mu Yuchen and me, there’s nothing between us. Please believe me.” Her tone was shaky as she felt aggrieved.
“It’s alright. I don’t mean to blame you. Our top priority now is to settle this issue. It’s not the time for blame. I’ve asked Qi Lei to come over and help out with this mess. Meanwhile, you should stay at home. I’m sure we’ll get over this very soon, so don’t worry about it. By the way, you should probably explain this to Ah Feng. I don’t want him to overthink,” Qi Qiming replied worriedly.
“Yes, Uncle Qi, I will. Ah Feng will believe me.”
“This whole incident is ridiculous. Someone might be setting you up. We’ll have to investigate this. Do you think Mu Yuchen might be behind this?” Qi Qiming instantly suspected Mu Yuchen.
Gu Lingsha was stunned for a moment, but she gave it some thought. “Mu Yuchen? Why?”
Although she could not believe it, Xi Xiaye’s cold expression appeared in her mind almost immediately after her sentence. Their clash the other day ended with her giving Xi Xiaye a harsh warning. Could Xi Xiaye have asked Mu Yuchen to take revenge for her?
Gu Lingsha’s expression darkened as fury tinted her eyes. “It’s Xi Xiaye, Uncle Qi! The other day, I had a tiff with Xi Xiaye in Weiwei’s school. She probably told Mu Yuchen and that’s why he must have wanted to embarrass me! That must be it! It must be that low-life woman’s work!”
