Chapter 456: Who Else Would They Seek?

Su Yu looked earnestly at Wang Jinhe, hoping she would understand his meaning.

Wang Jinhe remained silent for a while before speaking, “I understand.”

Her character had always been somewhat gentle, and she couldn’t be too ruthless in her actions. However, she understood what Su Yu was saying.

She wouldn’t actively provoke others, but she also couldn’t allow others to bully her.

“Xiao He, I don’t want to pressure you, but I’m worried that if you continue to think this way, you’ll eventually be hurt, and that’s not something I want to see,” Su Yu said.

“I understand what you mean. I won’t provoke others, but if they provoke me, I’ll deal with them decisively,” she replied. Only then would she avoid being hurt by others.

Su Yu paused for a moment, then smiled. “You’re right. It’s important to deal with problems at the root.”

“I really have no intention of returning to the Gu family,” she said. Her parents and grandparents were so good to her, so why would she leave to go to the Gu family?

Why was Gu Xiruo so lacking in confidence that she was so afraid of her returning?

“I know, but even if you say in front of Gu Xiruo that you won’t return to the Gu family, she won’t believe you,” Su Yu said. How could someone like Gu Xiruo believe Xiao He’s words?

Especially after Xiao He became the county princess and the news of her being an imperial Princess came out, Gu Xiruo wanted Xiao He’s life even more.

Xiao He’s current status, once known to the Gu family, would undoubtedly lead to her being sent back, even if she never wanted to, they might not believe her.

Wang Jinhe sighed lightly and said helplessly, “I’m in a terrible situation.”

Su Yu couldn’t help but smile. “It’s okay, I’m here to help you, right?”

“In fact, the best way to retaliate is to let the Gu family know about the switch between us,” Wang Jinhe suddenly said.

If Gu Xiruo isn’t very concerned about everything related to the Gu family, and isn’t very worried about their identities being known to the Gu family, then let the Gu family know. Let her lose everything she has now; that would be the best revenge.

“Your idea is not wrong, but there’s one thing you haven’t considered, Xiao He. Gu Xiruo still holds a high position in the Gu family, and she won’t be short of things through Lu Lingfeng,” Su Yu said. While he thought Wang Jinhe’s idea was good, he felt that the feasibility of this matter was not very high.

“How does that compare to me? Can she control more wealth than what I have?” Even without Su Yu, she had a fair amount of money, and her income had never stopped.

Gu Xiruo might have some ability, but compared to the wealth and power she controlled, Gu Xiruo was nothing.

“I remember you saying that since Gu Sheng took over the Gu family, they have been gradually declining. If they had a chance to turn things around, what choice would they make?” Gu Sheng and his wife had also considered taking Xiao He’s life for Gu Xiruo.

“Su Yu, what method do you think I should use to make them know?” Wang Jinhe asked earnestly.

“We definitely can’t tell them ourselves. It’s best to let someone from the Gu family inform them,” Su Yu said, knowing that Wang Jinhe wouldn’t just let it go and decided to speak up.

Wang Jinhe nodded in agreement and suddenly thought of someone, “Gu Yanqi.”

“We’re on the same page. Gu Yanqi is a decent person. His relationship with Gu Xiruo is neither good nor bad. However, if he knew that you are his true sister, he would definitely make sure you return to the Gu family,” Su Yu said to Wang Jinhe.

He mentioned this to Wang Jinhe just to inform her of everything and see if she still wanted to continue scheming against others.

Wang Jinhe frowned and said discontentedly, “I won’t return to the Gu family.”

It didn’t matter who said it; even if her mother was the aunt of the Gu family, she wouldn’t go back with them in the future.

“It’s good as long as you’re happy,” Su Yu didn’t force Wang Jinhe on this matter.

“I’m considering how to get Gu Yanqi to come here. We can’t actively approach him. What should we do next?” Wang Jinhe pondered.

“What is Gu Yanqi responsible for in the Gu family’s business?” Wang Jinhe asked after some thought.

“Wine,” Su Yu replied.

Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu with a puzzled expression. Was he specifically selling wine, or was it something else? It wasn’t clear.

“He runs a wine shop. Their family also produces their own wine, but it’s far inferior to what you have here,” Su Yu explained briefly to Wang Jinhe.

After hearing this, Wang Jinhe seemed to be considering something. After a while, she leaned in and whispered to Su Yu, “What if we…”

As Wang Jinhe shared her plan, Su Yu’s expression gradually became strange. He looked at Wang Jinhe, wanting to ask what she was thinking.

“Are you going to help me or not? Why are you staring at me like that? There’s nothing on my face,” Wang Jinhe glared at Su Yu. She was discussing serious matters with him, and he was just staring at her for no reason.

“Help,” Su Yu quickly spoke up when he saw Wang Jinhe getting anxious. If his wife asked for help, could he dare not to help?

Wang Jinhe nodded in satisfaction.

Gu Xiruo, I hope you appreciate the gift I’m giving you.

“Will the engagement between the Qing family and the Gu family be canceled in the end?” Wang Jinhe asked curiously.

“It depends on whether Gu Xiruo has finished using them. If not, this matter will probably continue to cause trouble,” Qing Yukong may not hold the same position in Gu Xiruo’s heart as Lu Lingfeng, but he was not a pawn to be discarded easily. Gu Xiruo wouldn’t let Qing Yukong slip out of her grasp.

“If Lu Lingfeng does something else?” Based on Gu Xiruo’s current state, if Lu Lingfeng were to do something, she wouldn’t know anything.

“The outcome is uncertain.”

Wang Jinhe didn’t say anything further, but she was determined to completely sever ties between the three of them.

Gu Xiruo’s reliance lies not only with the Gu family but also with Lu Lingfeng. Qing Yukong is merely her temporary betrothal partner. If she finds someone more suitable in the future, Qing Yukong will likely be discarded. As for Lu Lingfeng, he is somewhat tricky. It seems that he truly loves Gu Xiruo. With Lu Lingfeng’s intelligence, does he really not know that Gu Xiruo is only using him? He seems to know everything but doesn’t say anything, and he goes out of his way to help her, which is quite intriguing.

“Su Yu, why do you think Lu Lingfeng suddenly wants to replace Qing Yukong? Is it because of the marriage between Qing Yukong and Gu Xiruo?” If it’s just because of this, wouldn’t he have known long ago that Qing Yukong was Gu Xiruo’s fiancé? It seems a bit too late to be jealous now, doesn’t it?

Su Yu understood Gu Xiruo’s intentions, and Lu Lingfeng’s sudden change was indeed questionable.

“Perhaps we can investigate whether there is still any connection between the Lu family and him. If there is, the reason might be related to them,” Wang Jinhe said thoughtfully.

“Let’s have Wan Feng and the others look into it.”

Wang Jinhe sighed lightly and said with a hint of conflict, “Why do I feel like I have to ask for your help with everything?”

“If you don’t ask me, who else would you ask?”
