Hearing this, Ye Ziyan bit her lips and shook her head lightly.

"It's alright, Auntie. You don't have to comfort me. I'm fine."

Soong Lan rolled her eyes at her, "You still want to act tough? Your eyes are red. I know you feel wronged, but it's fine. I'm here."

At this moment, Gu Qiyue also spoke up from the side, "That's right, Ms Ziyan. With my mother backing you up, who would dare to make you feel wronged?"

Seeing this, Ye Ziyan couldn't help but smile. Her face was filled with gratitude. She then invited Gu Qiyue, "I'm fine. Qiyue, it's not easy for you to come back. We haven't gone shopping for a long time. Why don't we go shopping later?"

Gu Qiyue naturally agreed.

After a while, the two of them left the house and went to the largest shopping mall in Ann City. They spent two hours shopping.

In the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime. The two of them chose a Japanese restaurant nearby.

After sitting down, Ye Ziyan thought for a while and called Gu Qinian. As expected, no one answered.

She sighed and placed her phone to the side with a disappointed expression.

Seeing this, Gu Qiyue could not help but ask curiously, "Who did you call? Why are you so unhappy, Ms Ziyan?"

Ye Ziyan pursed her lips and said, "To your brother. He hasn't been answering my calls recently. I can't even see him. It seems like he's really busy."

Gu Qiyue noticed something was amiss when she saw her expression.

"Ms Ziyan, did you and my brother get into a quarrel? Did you suffer some grievance recently?"

Ye Ziyan had been waiting for her to say this. She took the opportunity to say what she was about to say.

"Qiyue, to tell you the truth, I feel that the distance between me and Qinian is getting further and further away."

Gu Qiyue immediately denied it in disbelief. "How is that possible? Ms Ziyan, don't let your imagination run wild. Isn't my brother very good to you? Everyone in Ann City knows about it."

She seemed to have thought of something and immediately comforted her.

"I know that the marriage between Ye Tian and my brother has been made public, but you also know that it was my grandmother who insisted on it. My brother doesn't like Ye Tian at all. Don't worry, my brother will find an excuse to divorce her soon!"

However, Ye Ziyan smiled bitterly when she heard this.

"Your brother is indeed very good to me, but that was before. Now that you have seen it, he obviously doesn't care about me. He is biased towards Ye Tian. Maybe the reason he was good to me was because of my kindness to him in the past, not love."

Gu Qiyue did not agree with her words.

"How could that be? Why can't I tell that he is biased towards Ye Tian? If he is biased towards Ye Tian, why didn't he care about me and my mother when you were so close to them yesterday? Besides, what about kindness? Kindness can easily turn into love. Ms Ziyan, don't think too much about it. You made yourself unhappy, and it benefited others!"

Hearing this, Ye Ziyan forced herself to smile. The food had already been served, but she didn't have any appetite at all.

"Ms Ziyan, why don't you eat it? This taste is not bad."

Gu Qiyue picked up a piece of sushi and placed it on Ye Ziyan's plate.

However, Ye Ziyan shook her head and said, "I don't have any appetite. Qiyue, I have been pondering what you said just now. You said that... Emotion can be turned into love easily, right?"

Gu Qiyue didn't understand and blinked her eyes as she nodded, "That's right."

Ye Ziyan bit her lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think Ye Tian also knows this. She has always been brooding over this matter and feels that I have interfered between her and Qinian."

Gu Qiyue was a little angry when she heard this.

"Heh, who does she think she is? She is the one who has interfered between you and my brother! So what if she broods over it? But the truth is that your fate with my brother cannot be cut off. What can she do?"

Ye Ziyan frowned and hesitated.

Gu Qiyue could not help but feel curious when she saw this, "Ms Ziyan, what can't you say to me? It's alright. Just say it. There are only the two of us here. If you feel unhappy, you can tell me. I'll give you some advice!"

"Really?" Ye Ziyan seemed to be touched as her eyes glowed with a layer of water, "Qiyue, do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you!"

At this moment, Ye Ziyan finally opened her mouth.

"Qiyue, I have nowhere to complain about this matter. I can only tell you not to tell anyone. I feel that... Ye Tian is trying to sow discord between you and my brother. I don't know what she said to Qinian, but now Qinian doesn't trust me anymore. Tell me, did she say something about what happened four years ago?"

Gu Qiyue was very surprised when she heard that.

"What did she say about what happened four years ago? What does she want to do?"

Ye Ziyan pursed her lips. "Of course she wants to take over the nest. This is not the first time she did this. Back then, she deliberately had sex with Qinian and married into your family. Tell me, would she slander me just to get Qinian's heart?"

"Slander you?"

"Yes." Ye Ziyan nodded. She said it with a clear voice, "She knows that the reason why Qinian treats me so well is because I saved him back then. Tell me... Did she come up with a plan to slander me by pretending to be me?"

Gu Qiyue immediately threw her chopsticks to the side and frowned.

"There's such a thing?"

Seeing that she was about to get angry, Ye Ziyan quickly pretended to be comforting.

"I'm just guessing. After all, this is the only possibility that I can think of. Moreover, after the operation, we were in our respective rooms. I recovered first, and my dad took me out of the hospital. I didn't meet Qinian directly, so do you think Ye Tian would turn this matter upside down?"

Gu Qiyue was led by the nose by Ye Tian, so she didn't have a good impression of Ye Tian. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.

"This bad woman! She is really shameless! She dares to say such a lie. Isn't she afraid of being struck by lightning? When you were discharged from the hospital, we went to your house to see you. Even though you have recovered, your body is still very weak. Your face is still pale. How can you believe her lies?"

Ye Ziyan's eyes flashed, and she quickly sat on her side and held her arm to comfort her.

"Don't be angry. After all, this is only our guess. There is no real evidence. Right now, I'm just worried that if my words are doubted, who else can make him believe?"

Hearing that, Gu Qiyue immediately had an idea.

"Ms Ziyan, how could you forget that I am here? I am his biological sister. He should believe me, right? Don't worry, leave this matter to me!"
