Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 271: They Really Don’t Care If She Lives or Dies

"I..." Gu Ziqi was rendered speechless by Gu Lingqian’s questioning.

Did she know about the medicine in Xia Yinian’s room all along? If she knew, wouldn’t that be no different from framing someone?

But why did she suddenly come here, and how did she know to search through Xia Yinian’s belongings?

Gu Ziqi is known to be savage, cunning, and vicious, but sometimes, her brain isn’t all that sharp.

Seeing her daughter at a loss for words, Guan Xiaoxue became furious: "Ling Qian, have you set your heart on defending this woman?"

"You should know, with her having these things, she must have tried them with a man, are you that man?"

Guan Xiaoxue was shrewd enough to realize from the interactions between Gu Lingqian and Xia Yinian that the man intimate with Xia Yinian was definitely not Gu Lingqian.

Since he’s not, why is he still willing to protect Xia Yinian? It’s simply unbelievable!

She had never before encountered a man so cheerful about being cuckolded.

While their standoff had not yet concluded, the housekeeper suddenly came up.

"The Old Master is waiting in the hall, all of you go down."

Someone had reported the incident to the Old Master, obviously not wishing to give Xia Yinian any chance of escape.

Adultery is an absolute capital offense in the Gu Family!

Despite the Gu Family’s large business empire, leading the industry with the most developed modern industries,

the thoughts of the Gu Family men are very closed off, especially the Old Master’s.

The women of the Gu Family, should anyone dare stir up an affair scandal, the Old Master would never let her off.

With such medicine found in Xia Yinian’s room, could the Old Master tolerate it?

Guan Xiaoxue and Gu Ziqi, along with the rest of them, all stood aside, waiting for the Old Master’s judgment on Xia Yinian.

To Xia Yinian’s surprise, the ones currently sitting on the sofa in the hall with the Old Master were her own Xia Family members.

Grandpa Xia Yiru, dad Xia Liyuan, Xia Chuxue’s mom He Shuya, as well as Xia Chuxue herself.

Xia Chuxue must have applied some medicine, now, that pig-headed face of hers had deflated significantly.

It seemed not as nauseating as before, with only a faint red mark still lingering.

Seeing Xia Chuxue here, and noting that both her father and grandfather were present as well, the puzzle that Xia Yinian couldn’t solve before finally became clear.

It turns out, the whole drugging Gu Lingqian affair was nothing but a smokescreen, an excuse under the plot orchestrated by Xia Chuxue.

The real purpose was not for Xia Chuxue to sleep with Gu Lingqian, but rather, to destroy her, Xia Yinian!

At this moment, Xia Yinian’s heart was truly cold, so very cold.

It was one thing for Xia Chuxue to target her—for this so-called older sister had no kinship with her, and she didn’t care about that.

But seated on the Gu Family’s sofa were also Grandpa and Dad, two relatives related to her by blood.

Were they also part of Xia Chuxue’s plot? Did they... really not care about her life or death at all?

"Miss Niannian, is this item yours?" The Old Master had not spoken yet; the housekeeper Gu Feng was the first to ask.

In the Gu Family, who didn’t know that Gu Feng was the Old Master’s confidant?

When the Old Master didn’t want to talk, Gu Feng’s words were the Old Master’s intentions.

Now, with Gu Feng asking Xia Yinian, of course, Xia Yinian had to answer.

She pressed her lips together, without any hesitation, and nodded, "Yes, it’s mine."

"Then you..." Gu Feng glanced at Gu Lingqian, still feeling a bit uncomfortable, "Who did you use it on?"
