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 ident.i.ty 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 embarra.s.s me! That must be it! It must be that low-life woman’s work!”

A faint, wicked chuckle came from behind them abruptly before a bemused voice said, “If that’s really the case, the doctor’s report didn’t indicate any sign of intoxication or drugs like you said. Moreover, Mu Yuchen doesn’t get anything out of being involved in news like this, does he? Do you think you’re charming enough for Mu Yuchen to sacrifice himself in order to seduce you? Or maybe I should rephrase. Is it because you’ve never forgotten about Mu Yuchen, and that’s why you were seduced so easily?”

Both Qi Qiming and Gu Lingsha were shocked as they quickly turned around to see Qi Lei with both his hands in his pockets as he stood near the door.

“Lei, you’re back!” Gu Lingsha smiled, trading glances with Qi Qiming before greeting Qi Lei.

Qi Lei walked over slowly and glanced at her. In truth, he was surprised that she would speak like this!

Low-life? Was Xi Xiaye really one?

He did not think so though.

Qi Lei was actually upset that Gu Lingsha humiliated Xi Xiaye, so his expression darkened.

While Qi Qiming’s expression relaxed slightly when he saw Qi Lei, his eyes clouded over when he heard his words.

Qi Lei looked at them quietly for a little while before sitting down. Gu Lingsha’s expression froze when he did not answer her greeting, but she recovered in a moment and quickly got him a gla.s.s of water.

“Why did you call me back?” Qi Lei asked directly.

Qi Qiming was really taking advantage of the situation. He actually seemed to be taking charge after Qi Lei gave him some leeway. He had been giving orders to Qi Lei in the past few days. Previously, Qi Lei would never have obeyed him, but things were different now. He had to endure it for the sake of his future plans!

Qi Lei took a deep breath and told himself that. In the end, he managed to be humble and cooperate with Qi Qiming temporarily.

“I’m sure you’ve seen the news today. Don’t you have any thoughts?” Qi Qiming looked at Qi Lei and asked.

Naturally, Qi Lei could not see any hint of fatherly love from his eyes. They still looked icy cold. The only difference was that Qi Qiming was slightly more patient with him, but that was it.

Of course, Qi Lei did not expect Qi Qiming to suddenly treat him like his actual son. How could their decades-long strained relationship be resolved in an instant? Only in his dreams!

“What can I say? It’s none of my business, is it? Even if I have any thoughts, I’ve voiced them just now, haven’t I?” Qi Lei replied.

Gu Lingsha’s expression changed, and she tried to explain, “Lei, you know me very well. I wouldn’t do something like that. It’s obvious that someone set me up, and like you said just now, if it’s not Mu Yuchen behind it since he doesn’t gain anything from it, maybe someone is trying to create a rift between Mu Yuchen and me, or someone’s trying to destroy the relationship between Qi Kai and Glory World, so…”

“No, Shasha, I don’t think I know you that well. I’m no longer familiar with who you are right now, since you’ve changed, so I can’t really speak for you.”
