Xiao Mei nodded. “Probably yes. That’s what the media says.”
Xi Xiaye took in a shallow breath, pondered for a moment, and set aside the document in her hand before slowly leaning back against the chair. Her starry eyes flickered from dark to light, and you could not tell what was on her mind. After what seemed like a century had passed, she slowly got up. “Let her in and make us two cups of flower tea.”
“Yes, CEO Xi!” Xiao Mei quickly retreated.
“Sis-in-law!”
When Mu Lingshi walked in, her expression was solemn. She must have known about Gu Qiwu and Doris.
“Come sit!”
Xi Xiaye walked over and pointed at the sofa beside her.
Mu Lingshi sat down as Xiao Mei swiftly brought the tea in.
“Are you here about Gu Qiwu? How’s it?” Xi Xiaye handed her a pillow for her to lean against as she asked.
Mu Lingshi nodded. “The verdict for his court case with Doris is out. The court recognized our relationship, and the document he let Doris signed before this was fake.”
“So, he kept a trick up his sleeve for himself?” Xi Xiaye was shocked speechless.
It turned out that their envious-worthy loving marriage had just been built on a foundation of lies!
When she thought about this, Xi Xiaye could not help but shudder!
Based on the fact that Gu Qiwu could do this to Doris, a woman that he claimed to love, she could imagine that he must have never loved Mu Zi!
Everything had been built on the foundation of lies which meant that everything that they had been holding on to and everything that Mu Zi suffered through was a joke! Xi Xiaye could not imagine how she would feel if she ever met someone like him.
Now, she seemed to understand how Mu Zi had fallen into depression years ago and even jumped from a tall building., Could she have been so disheartened that she would much rather die to end it all?
Upon hearing that, Mu Lingshi’s face flashed with a bitter smile as she nodded. “Yes, he did save a trick for himself, and now I understand that someone like him will never trust anyone. He’ll always be calculative with everyone no matter who it is, myself included. I heard my brother say that years ago, he wanted to go through my brother, and Ah Mo validated it…I believe that he does care about Doris. As he was figuring out how not to ruin their ridiculous relationship, he was trying to hold Doris down. But this time, I think Doris went too far and that’s why they had a fallout.”
This whole thing just sounded sad.
Mu Lingshi sighed. “This time he’s won completely. When Doris knew the verdict, she fainted from being too angry. I think she won’t let go of this so easily.”
“Are you saying that Doris will appeal?” Xi Xiaye frowned.
Mu Lingshi shook her head. “I don’t know either, but I think she doesn’t seem like the kind of person who will surrender so easily. Gu Qiwu lied to her for close to 30 years. Do you think she’d be happy and just give up?”
However, when Mu Lingshi said this, a thought came to Xi Xiaye.
If that was the case, Gu Qiwu and Doris’s fight would only become worse. That was a good thing for them!
At this point, Xi Xiaye seemed to suddenly understand Mu Yuchen’s consideration!
If Gu Qiwu and Doris had a fallout, then the fierce conflict would only expose them even more. If Doris was really behind that incident from years ago, then they would be able to find out more. Had Detective Zhang not been secretly investigating it?
In fact, at this state, Gu Lingsha would not just sit idle and do nothing. If she could not let it go, how could Qi Feng just look on and do nothing?
Besides, if the husband and wife were really to have a fallout, that would mean that Mu Zi had succeeded. After the interlude at Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha’s wedding, everyone knew about how Mu Zi had a fatal fate in love.
Who would not know that Elder Madam Mu had passed away from excessive sorrow and regret over this matter?
She had to admit that if this trick was used well, the effect that one would get would be twice the amount of effort put in.
“I heard your brother mention before that Doris isn’t a simple character. Ah Shi, you have to be more careful now. No matter what, you are still Gu Qiwu’s daughter, and Doris might overthink it.”
Mu Lingshi obviously understood what Xi Xiaye was trying to get at.
“Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. I understand. Oh, right, how are things on my brother’s end? I’ve called him quite a few times, but he didn’t pick up. I’m worried if anything has happened over there. When I brought it up with Father yesterday, he said that Brother left in a rush that day and didn’t look too right. Even Ah Mo doesn’t know what happened. he feels like there’s something odd about this, so I…”
Mu Lingshi was obviously a little worried. She wanted to talk to Mu Yuchen about the issue with Gu Qiwu today.
Before the court was in session today, Gu Qiwu had called her!
At this, Xi Xiaye’s expression darkened slightly. She understood Mu Lingshi’s concerns very well and was worried too.
She thought about it for a moment, then responded, “Ah Shi, don’t worry about it first. I talked to Li Si on the phone last night. He says that your brother’s doing fine. He just needs to be there for a while.”
“But…”
“There are no buts. Okay, you just take care of yourself. It’s lunchtime now. Go have lunch. I’ll get them to send you home after.”
Xi Xiaye held back the uneasiness she felt because she did not want Mu Lingshi to worry too much about it. “As for Gu Qiwu, no matter what you decide on, your brother and I will support you. A few days ago, I heard some things from Ah Quan. I won’t say too much, but I’m just letting you know to never sacrifice your own well-being.”
“Sister-in-law…”
Mu Lingshi looked at Xi Xiaye in a daze. She wanted to get close to Gu Qiwu to fight for some things. Perhaps, that way it would be better for her brother.
“Just remember what I said. Why do you think your brother did all of this for?” Xi Xiaye helped her get up as her bright eyes twinkled, filled with a faint light.
This made Mu Lingshi a little speechless. She thought about it, then did not say anything more as she just let Xi Xiaye help her out.
The two of them had just left the office when they met Xiao Mei who walked towards them.
“CEO Xi, First Master Qi from Qi Kai just called. He wants to meet this Friday evening at the Emperor Hotel to discuss the South River Project. He even invited VP Zhang Lan from Glory World. Do you…”
