C18 Everything That Happened Yesterday

During the treatment in the hospital, Si Ying had already thought it through. Playing dumb was originally just a buffer. She still had important things to do and could not continue to play dumb.

Especially when she was afraid that Gu Chengxuan would see through her. Instead of worrying, she might as well recover her intelligence. She was not even a god, so what was there to be afraid of?

Fighting with others was endless fun.

From now on, not only would she not run away, but she would also press forward step by step. She did not believe that Jiang Manli would not give herself away.

Didn't she get the best clue the last time she got close?

"You mean Si Ying drove herself to Yizhou?" Gu Chengxuan, who had left the press conference, received a call from his assistant. He lowered his voice and looked around vigilantly before retreating to the corner.

After instructing his assistant a few times, he returned to the press conference and Jiang Manli found that Gu Chengxuan was absent-minded.

She could not help but feel her heart hanging up. Who exactly was the one who called and said something?

It was definitely not official business. Gu's was operating normally now. It was just that recently, it had caused a huge commotion with Dan Family, but to Gu Chengxuan, it was just a game.

Seeing the man sitting in the VIP seat, but his eyes were looking at somewhere far away, Jiang Manli quietly took out her phone and sent a message.

Yizhou was a small town in the countryside two hours away from the capital. Si Ying had just recovered from her illness and rushed over there. What was she trying to do?

"Director Gu, recently the Gu's has been suppressing the Dan Family. May I ask if it is related to the Second Young Master Dan who just returned to the country and her wife? It is said that the Second Young Master Dan looks very similar to the daughter of the Si family in the past."

This reporter was really bold. As soon as his words came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the audience. Actually, the entire capital knew about this matter.

It was just that everyone was worried about Gu Chengxuan's unpredictable temper and the power of the Gu Family. No one dared to mention this matter in front of their faces.

For a moment, the entire venue quieted down. The hall of over a hundred people seemed to be able to hear each other's breathing.

"Heh, you must be joking. Businessmen seek profits. This is a principle that everyone has understood since ancient times. As for what you said, I might have to deny it."

For some unknown reason, Gu Chengxuan stood up and stretched out his hand to wave at Jiang Manli. Although the other party was not clear about it, he still walked over.

He extended a small jade-white hand into the dry palm with a shy expression.

The two of them stood side by side on the stage.

"Miss Jiang is my fiancee. Her character and talents are known by everyone in the capital. Why should I guard such a perfect woman to fight with a married woman? Reporter, I doubt your purpose."

That's right. It was normal for there to be competition in the business world. Businessmen would naturally fight for profits. What did it have to do with those rumors?

One was a married woman, and the other was the daughter of a noble family. This normal person would know who to choose.

No one would have expected that the dispute that had caused such a commotion in the city and was deliberately described as a long-winded love story would be easily cleared away by Gu Chengxuan with just a few words.

Not only that, he also supported Jiang Manli in front of everyone and directly stated that they would get married this year.

The press conference that was originally about the movie had instantly turned into a love confession ceremony, and the entire audience burst into applause.

"This is what love should look like. Look at them. The beauty of a handsome man and a woman is naturally a pair, but it just so happens that there are people who want to spread rumors."

"That's right. These people are afraid that the world will not be thrown into chaos. They can't wait to see these loving lovers scatter."

The public opinion was pushed back to the right path. The two people on the stage also slowly walked down the stairs. Everyone saw Gu Chengxuan's gentleness towards Jiang Manli, and their eyes were filled with envy.

However, no one noticed the coldness in Gu Chengxuan's eyes, which were filled with a gentle smile.

His half-lowered eyes withdrew the bad mood that had just appeared.

He was not an actor, but he had already skillfully acted for nearly five years. He was not sure when this scene would come to an end.

Actually, she didn't need to personally come to Yizhou, but she still came. She drove over and took advantage of the fact that Gu Chengxuan was about to hold a press conference. She didn't have time to do anything else, so she came to Yizhou.

This wasn't a completely closed town. Along with the development of the era, Yizhou had become a half-industrial and half-tourism town. So she quickly found a business hotel and planned to stay there for two days.

In the plan, the biggest enemy was probably only Gu Chengxuan. She had to be on guard against him every time, even if she knew him or arranged for someone to follow her.

As long as he wasn't standing in front of her, everything would be easy to solve.

The detective that was arranged previously sent the address and basic information of the old butler to Si Ying. Now, she slowly approached the old butler based on this information.

If it was not for that drastic change, Si Ying believed that she would still be an innocent and ignorant woman until now.

So today, she flipped through the details of yesterday bit by bit. Only then did she know how cruel and hurtful reality was.

The old housekeeper had stayed in the Si family for nearly 30 years. Before she was born, he had been working in the Si family. When the Si family was in trouble and the old housekeeper disappeared, to her at that time, she had never thought that they would be connected.

Now, if it wasn't for the hints in Jiang Manli's USB, she wouldn't have thought of this at all.

People's hearts were sinister, but what was the motive? The Si family had treated the old butler well.

Looking at the small courtyard in the small Yang building, an innocent child was happily running around, laughing from time to time.

This scene had been replayed in her mind all the time, but it would never become reality.

"Yang Yang, don't run. Look at your forehead full of sweat." A familiar voice drifted out from the small building. Si Ying flashed and hid in a concealed position. An indescribable emotion almost rushed out of her throat.

The old man who was about the same age as her father was standing in front of her. Why did he betray the Si family? At this moment, Si Ying really wanted to rush into the courtyard and question the old housekeeper.

But her rationality made Si Ying stop. Her clenched fists trembled slightly and her eyes turned red. Her nails dug deep into her palms and could not suppress the pain in Si Ying's heart.

Returning to the country for revenge, her top priority was to find out the truth.

Until now, she did not believe that it was only because of bankruptcy. Her parents would abandon her and commit suicide. Her parents were optimistic and cheerful people. Back then, her father also said that if they were poor, they would bring her to the countryside.

Maybe she would start from the beginning, or maybe she would live a life of idleness. He even asked her if she would dislike such parents.

However, she had been living a comfortable life all day, and had never paid attention to the dangers of the human world.
