Chapter 741 - 745: Gu Junzhu's Guess

Gu Junzhu stared coldly at Mi Sheng, stating, “The reason is that one insists on burying all one’s so-called grievances deep inside, unwilling to share anything, content in letting the other party grieve over misunderstanding. Yet, you alone bear your so-called grievances, bemoaning your own grandeur. The truth is, if it were shared, the two of you could perhaps solve things easily through cooperation.”

Gu Junzhu coldly asked, “I wonder what Miss Mi’s grievance might be? You desire to protect Qiao Zui? Fear of hurting Qiao Zui? Do you perhaps feel that you’re being rather magnanimous now?”

Mi Sheng shook her head vigorously, completely unable to utter a word.

She couldn’t speak.

She couldn’t say anything at all.

She couldn’t let Qiao Zui know that she was the daughter of his father’s murderer.

She didn’t want Qiao Zui to look at her with hatred and disgust.

She simply couldn’t.

She couldn’t accept it.

She was on the verge of breaking down…

Gu Junzhu shifted his posture, his sharp and icy gaze was directly fixed on Mi Sheng’s eyes, his domineering aura even more oppressive, “Then let me rephrase my question. An hour ago, while Miss Mi was in the bathroom, your mother called. What did she say to you in that call that made you suddenly break off an engagement with Xiao Qiao and storm off?”

Mi Sheng’s eyes widened even larger, staring at Gu Junzhu in shock, “You, how did you know that my mom called me while I was in the bathroom?”

Gu Junzhu glared coldly at her, “Not only do I know that your mom called you while you were in the bathroom, but I also know that before your mom called, Fang Mingzhu’s mother, Yi Xinning, had called her. Do you understand what this implies?”

“Fang Mingzhu’s mother and my mom?” Mi Sheng incredulously stared at Gu Junzhu, “Does my mom know Fang Mingzhu’s mother?”

Ignoring her question, Gu Junzhu continued, “Yesterday you saw for yourself that Fang Mingzhu likes Xiao Qiao and wants to marry him. I suppose Fang Mingzhu’s mother must have threatened your mother to make you break up with Xiao Qiao, thereby giving Fang Mingzhu the chance to marry Xiao Qiao. So…”

He stared right into Mi Sheng’s eyes, asking, “Now, you just need to answer one question for me. What exactly did your mother tell you that compelled you to tragically break things off with Xiao Qiao? Did she say there was a deep-seated enmity between you and Xiao Qiao? Or did she say that there was kinship between you and Xiao Qiao, suggesting that a marriage would be incestuous?”

Mi Sheng was stunned, her face pale, her whole body trembling, “H-how do you know? The instructor’s parents…they, they…”

Mi Sheng’s whole body began shaking uncontrollably.

Only one thought was spinning in her head… it was over.

The instructor’s uncle knows that her father was the culprit behind the murder of his parents.

Now, if the instructor’s uncle learns that she is Yi Xinning’s daughter, it would mean he knows that she’s the daughter of the murderer who killed the instructor’s parents.

The instructor’s uncle will tell the instructor.

Soon, the instructor will know that she’s the daughter of his father’s killer…

A buzz drummed in Mi Sheng’s mind, she was in such agony that she wished she could disappear from this world.

“So it’s indeed like that,” Gu Junzhu coldly sneered, mocked and stared at Mi Sheng, “So, which reason did your mother use? That you and Qiao Zui have a deep-seated hatred? Or that you and Qiao Zui are blood relatives?”

Mi Sheng looked dazedly at him, sensing that something was off about what he was saying.

What did he mean by “which reason”?@@novelbin@@

Wasn’t there just one reason?

Gu Junzhu scoffed and said disdainfully, “I can tell you very responsibly, the death of Xiao Qiao’s parents was an accident. Xiao Qiao has no enemies. As for your family, we, Gu Family, conduct ourselves honorably and righteously. We’ve never been involved in innocent bloodshed. Even the most violent criminals were sent to jail to be dealt with according to law. Unless your family comprises some extremely wicked people, there couldn’t possibly be any enmity with us.”
