Su Yu shook his head, “I’m not quite sure about this. Let Wan Gu and the others investigate. They must clarify the situation. Moreover, what is her purpose in investigating Xiao He?”
Gu Xiruo was somewhat famous in the capital. Although she didn’t have a remarkable appearance, her abilities and methods were acceptable. She could be considered a role model for the daughters of prominent families in the capital and had quite a few admirers. Unfortunately, she was already engaged to someone, and the other person was a decent individual.
However, why would she suddenly investigate Xiao He?
Xiao He has always been here, hasn’t gone anywhere else except on the city. How did she attract someone’s attention?
As Su Yu counted his wrist while self-examining, he narrowed his eyes, “Yuan Bao, tell Wan Gu and the others to thoroughly investigate this matter.”
He couldn’t allow Xiao Bao and Xiao He to be threatened.
“Yes.”
“What are you investigating?” Wang Jinhe came out and heard Su Yu mentioning an investigation. She couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Originally, Su Yu didn’t plan to tell Wang Jinhe about this, but unexpectedly, she overheard.
After some consideration, Su Yu decided to share the information with her.
“Xiao He, come over here. I need to talk to you.” Su Yu glanced at Yuan Bao, who quickly left.
Wang Jinhe walked over to Su Yu, curiously asking, “What do you want to tell me?”
“I just received a message from Wan Gu and the others. Gu Xiruo, the daughter of the Gu family in the capital, is investigating you.” Su Yu explained the situation to Wang Jinhe.
After hearing it, Wang Jinhe furrowed her brows slightly, “Gu family? You mean Jing’s family?”
Su Yu shook her head, “No, it’s another Gu family, with much more influence than Jing’s family. Gu Xiruo, the daughter of the Gu family, is not only favored by everyone in the Gu family but also quite famous in the capital.”
Wang Jinhe became even more puzzled after hearing Su Yu’s words.
Since she’s a daughter from a prominent family, why would she come to investigate a village girl like herself?
Has she gone crazy?
“I can seriously tell you that I don’t know this Miss Gu at all. Why would she come to investigate me? Does she have nothing better to do?” Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but sarcastically comment.
“We still don’t know for sure, but don’t worry, I’ve already asked Wan Gu and the others to investigate. I believe we’ll have news soon. However, this Gu Xiruo does seem to be trouble.” Su Yu squinted as he spoke.
He had seen Gu Xiruo twice, and everyone praised her as a rare beauty with talents in various arts. However, Su Yu didn’t put her in high regard at all. Not only did he not care, but he also considered Gu Xiruo to be nothing more than a pretentious person.
“Su Yu, it seems like you know this Gu Xiruo well?” Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but ask when she saw Su Yu’s disdainful expression.
Su Yu shared some information about Gu Xiruo with Wang Jinhe. After listening, Wang Jinhe was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to express what she wanted to say.
Su Yu shrugged and said, “That’s the beloved Gu Xiruo for you.”
Listening to Su Yu for a while, Wang Jinhe suddenly understood the kind of person Gu Xiruo was. Rubbing her chin, Wang Jinhe spoke, “So, according to what you’re saying, Gu Xiruo is a person with a facade that hides her true self?”
Su Yu nodded with a smile, “Your summary is spot on. She is indeed two-faced. Now, she wants to investigate you, which makes me a bit unhappy. I’m curious to see what this so-called talented lady is capable of.”
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu expressionlessly, “Are you trying to be her rival?”
Feeling somewhat inexplicably upset, she wondered what was going on.
While Wang Jinhe was in a bad mood and had different thoughts, Su Yu suddenly said, “Rival? Gu Xiruo isn’t even worthy. Her brother isn’t my rival, let alone someone like Gu Xiruo.”
Su Yu doesn’t look down on Gu Xiruo; it’s just a fact. Gu Xiruo is indeed not his opponent. Not to mention Gu Xiruo, there aren’t many people in this world who can be his rivals. He has never encountered anyone who makes him feel evenly matched.
“Have you ever met a worthy opponent?” Wang Jinhe asked curiously.
Su Yu shook his head, “I haven’t encountered one yet. It’s rare to find someone who can make me go all out.”
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu in surprise. If Su Yu is already this powerful without facing a strong opponent, how formidable would he be if he goes all out?
“What’s with that expression? Why do I feel like you’re harboring ill intentions?” Speaking negatively about his wife isn’t ideal, but the way Wang Jinhe was looking at Su Yu made it seem like she was indeed harboring ill intentions, maybe even trying to pick a fight.
His instincts have always been accurate.
Seeing Su Yu suddenly becoming alert, Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but laugh, “Your expression now makes me doubt whether what Grandpa and the others said about you is true or not.”
“……”
It seems like he’s being underestimated, and it’s by his own wife. How is he going to handle this delicate situation?
“I actually wasn’t thinking anything just now. I was just considering how great it would be if you could encounter an evenly matched opponent,” Wang Jinhe said with a look of admiration.
Su Yu took a deep breath and looked at Wang Jinhe disapprovingly, saying, “What do you mean by that? Are you trying to see me make a fool of myself? I’m your husband; it’s not appropriate for you to want to see me embarrassed.”
Wang Jinhe, with a puzzled look, said without hesitation, “I never said I wanted to see you make a fool of yourself. I just want to see how powerful you really are.”
“Will you be extremely formidable when you go all out?” Now that it’s mentioned, Wang Jinhe is even more curious.
“Sure, I’ll show you when the opportunity arises, but for now, you won’t get the chance, and you won’t see it,” Su Yu responded. He hasn’t encountered anyone who could make him go all out yet. If he does in the future, he’ll definitely show Wang Jinhe.
Wang Jinhe looked Su Yu up and down. Just when Su Yu felt like running away from the scrutiny, Wang Jinhe suddenly said, “This probably confirms a saying.”
“What?” Even though Su Yu felt it might not be something good, he wanted to know.
“Wu Di Shi Duo Ji Mo?” Wang Jinhe said with a smile, unable to hold back a laugh.
Su Yu twitched his mouth, looking at Wang Jinhe with a wry smile. “I’m not invincible; I just haven’t found a worthy opponent. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Wang Jinhe glanced at Su Yu and chuckled. “Do you believe what you just said? Not having an opponent means being invincible, doesn’t it?”
“Maybe my opponent hasn’t appeared yet. It’s not appropriate for you to say that,” Su Yu retorted.
In the midst of their banter, the two suddenly burst into laughter.
“We were talking about the matter of Gu Xiruo, weren’t we? How did we end up discussing this?” Wang Jinhe agreed, nodding her head. “You’re right. We both seem lost. Continue telling me about Gu Xiruo’s situation. We don’t know if she’s an enemy or a friend, but it’s always good to know more.”
