Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Starting to Doubt

Gu Manxi nodded slightly. “I will cooperate with the examination. I was forced.”

“Forced?! It was clearly you who did it willingly!” Tang Chunxiu suddenly screamed as if she was the victim. She still tried hard to maintain the bearing of a noblewoman. “Manxi, it was clearly you who told Mom that you wanted to marry a rich man. Don’t call the police, this is our family’s matter!”

Tang Chunxiu must not let the Zhao family’s reputation be ruined!

Gu Manxi’s eyes were slightly red, but her tone was unprecedentedly calm. “Mom, do you really think I’m your daughter? Is the water you gave me in the car really okay? Why do I feel dizzy and weak after drinking it? Also, you clearly said that you only brought me here to meet my family, but you sent me to a stranger’s bed.”

“You kept saying that you found the best kindergarten in the capital for Chuchu. I went to that kindergarten and saw that it was even worse than a pigsty.”

“When you brought me back, you only wanted to use me, right?”

Tang Chunxiu originally wanted to retort, but when the words reached her mouth, she suddenly didn’t dare to look Gu Manxi in the eye.

Director Li struggled to get up from the ground. His thigh was in extreme pain, and his head was covered in sweat. At this moment, Director Li also roughly understood Tang Chunxiu’s intentions. What daughter from overseas? They were all lies!

Director Li hurriedly said, “This is really not my fault. It was Tang Chunxiu who said it. Her eldest daughter likes men like me. I was set up. When I came to this room, there was someone lying on the bed.”

Director Li began to think of ways to distance himself from the relationship and try to reduce his guilt as much as possible. His social reputation was related to the interests of the Li family.

The group of relatives behind Tang Chunxiu looked at each other in dismay.

An elderly man began to mediate the situation and said with a smile, “Young Master Cheng, don’t be in a hurry to call the police. This is all a misunderstanding. I have a pretty good relationship with your father.”

Cheng Qi was speechless.

The old man from the Zhao family had a kind look on his face and said with a smile, “It’s all a misunderstanding. Manxi, you’re still a member of our Zhao family after all. Honor and disgrace go hand in hand. If this matter is blown up, it won’t be good for our Zhao family and the Li family. Why don’t we tone this down? What do you think?”

“Look, you have a child out of wedlock. Even this kind of scandal can be accepted by our Zhao family. Let’s put our hearts together and understand each other.”

The other relatives all agreed.

Gu Manxi’s heart sank to the bottom as she asked, “Who are you?”

The old man said with a smile, “I’m your second uncle. Don’t you remember? I often carried you around when you were young.”

Gu Manxi asked back, “Uncle, you should also have a granddaughter. Since you value the interests of the Zhao and Li families so much, why don’t you marry your granddaughter to Director Li?”

“Uh…” the old man looked unhappy. Director Li was in his forties and looked ugly. How could he marry his precious granddaughter to such a man? Gu Manxi had children before marriage. Women who had given birth were the least valuable, so it was not a loss for her to marry Director Li.

But the old man did not say it out loud.

Cheng Qi looked at Gu Manxi, wanting to see the shadow of another person on her face. Unfortunately, he couldn’t see her. It could also be because her acting was too good.

Gu Manxi was too weak, not smart, and not cunning. She only had a bit of stubbornness that could still be considered a virtue.

Cheng Qi couldn’t help but think, could it be that he had found the wrong person? But the IP address that was being tracked clearly showed that it was Gu Manxi’s house. In this world, only that person could have such superb hacking skills…

“Miss Gu, what’s your decision?”Cheng Qi asked.
