Chapter 80: Did You Cheat?

Ruan Yu adjusted her hair. Her lips were a little swollen. If she went back like this, Mu Luo Xi and Ji Sheng would definitely tease her.

To avoid their teasing, Ruan Yu put on lipstick to cover the swelling on her lips.

When her appearance seemed to be fine, she came out of the rest room. Seeing that Gu Yan Zhi’s face was not good, she greeted him and left.

Gu Yan Zhi looked at Shen Yu coldly, “What’s the matter? Speak.”

Shen Yu hesitated, as if he didn’t know how to say it. He scratched his hair in frustration, “Women are definitely the most difficult creatures in the world. The one who said she was leaving is the one who came back. I really don’t know what she’s thinking.”

“Forget it.” Shen Yu looked at Gu Yan Zhi, “If you knew, you wouldn’t have taken ten years to chase her.”

Gu Yan Zhi didn’t say anything. After all, he was indeed not as good as Shen Yu in this area.

“Have you heard anything about that matter?” Shen Yu said, “The old man doesn’t have much time left. He has at most a year left. His only wish is to see his granddaughter.”

He sighed. He also wanted to know where his sister, who had disappeared for so many years, was. Over the years, even though hope was slim, the family had never given up looking for her.

Gu Yan Zhi’s expression shifted slightly. After a while, his thin lips parted, “No. If I do, I’ll let you know.”

“Okay, I’m going.”

——

Bar.

“Qing Ning, haven’t you been with the Shen family’s young master lately?” The woman’s face was filled with worry. If you looked closely, you could see disdain.

Tang Qing Ning’s hot search scandal had made headlines in Nancheng. The Shen family’s young master didn’t say a word in her defense.

She deliberately wanted to provoke Tang Qing Ning, knowing that she would be sensitive about it. After all, she had been arrogant and looked down on her not long ago.

Tang Qing Ning clenched her hands tightly and didn’t say anything.

The woman seemed to be comforting her, but she was actually continuing to mock her subtly, “Don’t be sad. What’s so good about a playboy like Shen Yu? With your looks, you can find a better man.”

The woman paused and continued, “And, I heard that Shen Yu lost his sister when he was a child because he was playing around. Even if you were with him, you wouldn’t feel safe.”

She deliberately said this. Everyone knew that Tang Qing Ning wanted money. Moreover, she didn’t even spare a forty-year-old man.

Tang Qing Ning didn’t bother with her. There were no real friends in this circle. But she was intrigued by the woman’s words, “You said Shen Yu has a sister?”

The woman nodded. She felt that Tang Qing Ning definitely wasn’t giving up on Shen Yu. After all, with a family background like his, there weren’t many who wouldn’t like him.

“Does his sister have any special features?” Tang Qing Ning asked.

“I don’t know.” The woman laughed, “You wouldn’t be trying to help Young Master Shen find his sister and get back together with him, would you?”

The woman scoffed. First of all, she didn’t know if she could find her. Even if she did, she would at most be grateful to him with money. Getting back together was impossible. He wouldn’t look at a woman who was dirty and broken.

“Qing Ning, I advise you not to waste your time. The Shen family has been looking for her in secret for so many years and hasn’t found her.”

She was also curious. The Shen family was rich and powerful. Finding someone wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t difficult either. But after all these years, there was still no news. Maybe she was no longer alive.

Tang Qing Ning ignored her and left the bar.

Two days later, Tang Qing Ning opened the files she had bought with a lot of money.

As she looked at the files, Tang Qing Ning’s hand trembled more and more as she read. Her face was full of surprise.

Looking at the birthmark in the photo, she was even more certain of her guess.

Because the birthmark in the photo was exactly the same as the birthmark on Ruan Yu’s right shoulder blade. And Ruan Yu was adopted by the Ruan family. But because of a high fever, she forgot everything before the age of five when she woke up. Plus, she was so young, her memories were blurry.

She curled her lips, a plan forming in her mind.

——

That night, Gu’s Residence.

Ruan Yu took a shower and opened her drawer. Inside, there was a red peace charm with a little tiger on it. It was old, and the embroidery thread was a little rough.

She picked it up and held it in her palm, examining it carefully.

Gu Yan Zhi came out of the shower and naturally wiped the water droplets from his hair.

“Where do you think my parents are? Did they ever look for me? Does my family have any younger siblings or older siblings?” Ruan Yu asked casually.

Gu Yan Zhi’s hand, which was wiping his hair, paused. His eyes dimmed.

Ruan Yu didn’t hate that family. She had a gut feeling that she had gotten lost because she was playing around. She vaguely remembered walking for a long time in the rain that night. The rain was very cold that day.

Gu Yan Zhi put down the towel and lay down next to her, pulling her into his arms, “They must be looking for you. After all, Ayu is so good.”

Ruan Yu put the peace charm under her pillow and nestled in Gu Yan Zhi’s arms, “Then what if one day they find me and see me? What kind of mood would they be in? If I’m different from what they remember, would they be disappointed?”

Gu Yan Zhi stroked her head, “Don’t think about it. No parent would be disappointed in their child.”

Ruan Yu nodded. She wasn’t sure. She had never actively looked for her biological parents. She wanted to let things happen naturally.

If one day she found them, and they liked her, she would definitely tell them that she had been living well all these years.

She hadn’t suffered. Her adoptive parents and grandfather had pampered her. They hadn’t had their own children so that she could have a complete childhood.

Later, she met Gu Yan Zhi. Gu Yan Zhi always kept her by his side. He was younger than her, but he took care of her.

Although there were servants at home, he often did things himself.

He picked her up and dropped her off at school.

It was just that she had let him down as an adult…

“Ayu, after the long weekend is over, I have something to tell you.” Gu Yan Zhi kissed the forehead of the person in his arms. His expression was unclear.

Ruan Yu looked at him, pouting, “Can’t you tell me now?”

“I haven’t figured out how to tell Ayu yet.” Gu Yan Zhi was worried. He was afraid that if he told her, she would hate him.

After all, anyone in her position probably wouldn’t forgive him easily.

“Okay.” Ruan Yu said, “Then tell me when you’ve figured it out.”

She thought more and more that something was wrong. She sat up and narrowed her eyes at Gu Yan Zhi, “Tell me the truth, did you cheat?”

Otherwise, why was he so hesitant and wanted to wait a few days to tell her?

She was afraid that her guess was right.

Gu Yan Zhi stretched out his long arm, pulled her into his arms, and leaned down, “Is it because I don’t love you enough? Or because I haven’t been able to give you a sense of security? It made Ayu think this way.”

“I didn’t cheat, I didn’t cheat… I was just kidding.” Talk properly, don’t use your hands.

Gu Yan Zhi reached out and rubbed her head, “Okay, go to sleep.”

He got off of Ruan Yu and lay down.

Ruan Yu felt that Gu Yan Zhi was acting very strange today. He wouldn’t let her off so easily normally.
