Chapter 40 She didn't have time to hibernate.
Now, Gong Shengtian doesn't even need to investigate; he already knows that the person behind taking Gong Yueyue to the abandoned warehouse was Qiao Yiyun and her group.

Qiao Yiyun glanced helplessly at the pig-headed Gong Ranran, but remained calm and composed.

Is it finished?
She can't just give up like this; she has to keep pretending.

Qiao Yiyun turned to Gong Ranran and said angrily, "You, stop talking nonsense. What kind of behavior is this, slandering your sister like this?"

Gong Ranran glared defiantly: "I'm not making this up, she just appeared out of thin air."

Mr. Gu frowned and turned to Gong Yueyue: "Appeared out of thin air?"

Gong Yueyue was startled when she saw Mr. Gu turn to her again.

If Mr. Gu examines her again, she won't have time to go into hibernation.

Gong Yueyue turned to Gong Shengtian with a wronged expression: "Dad, I didn't appear out of thin air. I escaped from the abandoned warehouse by myself after I learned how to pick locks."

"When I entered the hall, I heard Aunt Zhang, my mother, and my sister talking about how I couldn't escape. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't see me when I entered the house."

He lowered his head again as he spoke.

She cried again.

Gong Shengtian's heart ached even more.

After hearing Gong Yueyue's explanation, Mr. Gu glanced at Gong Ranran and Qiao Yiyun, shook his head, and prepared to leave.

Ugh, rich families are such a mess, I can't be bothered to look anymore.

Qiao Yiyun no longer dared to look Gong Shengtian in the eye.

A moment later, Qiao Yiyun remained calm and composed, stood up as if nothing had happened, and walked toward Mr. Gu with an air of elegance: "Mr. Gu, you must be tired today. Why don't you have a meal first?"

Mr. Gu had already agreed to have a drink with Gong Shengtian.

Mr. Gu raised an eyebrow: "What about the matter of the invisible person whipping you? Are you just going to ignore it?"

Is there something wrong with this Joey Yun?
Wasn't she a virtuous and kind stepmother?

It seems that reputation can be real or fake.

Too many people parrot what others say, and falsehoods become accepted as truth.

Qiao Yiyun gave a standard smile: "It's alright, don't listen to her, that child is just talking nonsense. Mr. Gu, this way please. Aunt Zhang, quickly go and make the preparations." Aunt Zhang: "Yes, Madam."

Mr. Gu glanced at Gong Yueyue and said in a deep voice, "No need, the company has a lot of things to do."

Turning to Gong Shengtian, whose face had darkened, he asked, "Chairman Gong, shall we meet again next time?"

Gong Shengtian let out a breath: "Okay, it's settled. Here's my business card."

Gong Shengtian handed over his business card.

Mr. Gu smiled and gave Gong Shengtian his business card.

Mr. Gu could tell that today wasn't a good time for a good drink; Chairman Gong still had family matters to sort out.

After exchanging business cards with Gong Shengtian, Mr. Gu led three other men in black suits out.

Qiao Yiyun turned to Uncle Ye: "Uncle Ye, please see the guests out, and don't forget the payment. Mr. Gu, everyone, please take care."

He remained polite, and his voice remained calm.

Even if all the ugly things she did have been exposed, she still had to maintain the demeanor of a wealthy lady.

Uncle Ye smiled gently: "Yes, Madam."

Mr. Gu and the others have left.

Qiao Yiyun's legs went weak.

It’s over.

No one knows how Qiao Shengtian will punish her.

The best course of action now is to deny everything, otherwise she won't be able to hold onto her position as the first lady of the wealthy family.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yiyun turned to Gong Yueyue: "Yueyue, it's all my sister's fault. You've really been wronged today. How about this, I'll have Gong Ranran apologize to you? And then you, as the older sister, can punish her however you feel is right?"

“If she dares to resist, I’ll back her up.”
