Unexpectedly, when Hai Tang heard this, her expression immediately turned cold. She stared straight at Yu Lu and asked,â I didnât tell you about Gu Yunâs suit. How did you know?â
Only then did Yu Lu realize that she had let the cat out of the bag. She tried to confuse her.â Uh, you were the one who told me about it. Donât you remember?â
Hai Tangâs eyes were firm. She shook her head and denied it.â Impossible. I didnât tell you. You didnât come to see me during this time. I was busy with the business at the time and didnât have time to complain to you. How did you hear about such a private matter? Or did you instruct that girl to do this?â
Hai Tang pressed on step by step. Yu Lu couldnât find a good explanation for a moment, so she could only insist that Hai Tang had told her.
Yu Lu forced a smile.â Hai Tang, you can choose not to believe me, but you canât doubt my sincerity for you. I think youâre too paranoid right now. Why donât you calm down first?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As she spoke, Yu Lu wanted to take a sip of the water in front of her to hide her embarrassment, but her trembling movements revealed her guilt and uneasiness.
Yu Lu thought that her performance in front of Hai Tang was flawless, but in reality, she was already full of loopholes.
At this point, Hai Tang already understood that Yu Lu was not sincere to her. As for the relationship between Yu Lu and the suit incident, she still had to investigate it carefully.
The feeling of being betrayed by a friend made her mentally and physically exhausted for a moment. Seeing Yu Luâs flustered cover up, Hai Tang only felt that it was particularly laughable.
No wonder Gu Yun reminded her not to trust others too much last night.
It turned out that Gu Yun had long seen through Yu Luâs ill intentions. It was just that she herself had not realized it and still foolishly believed that Yu Lu truly treated her as a friend.
Hai Tang couldnât be bothered to argue with Yu Lu. She only waved her hand in disgust.â Iâm tired. I donât want to talk about these things. You can go.â
âIâ¦â Yu Lu immediately realized that she had messed up the plan and wanted to make up for it. Seeing that Hai Tang was no longer looking at her, she gritted her teeth and left.
After Yu Lu left, Hai Tang sat alone in the shop for a long time. When she came back to her senses, she first hung a â Closed â sign at the door of the Moon Breeze Shop. Then, she felt a little stuffy in her chest, so she closed the shop and walked out.
It was lunchtime, and the streets were quiet and sparsely populated.
Hai Tang was at a loss. After thinking for a moment, she called Gu Yun.
Gu Yun picked up the phone very quickly. He vaguely sensed that Hai Tangâs mood was not right when she suddenly called at noon, so he slowed down his voice and asked,â Whatâs wrong?â
â The female employee who dirtied your suit and was fired by you last time,â
Hai Tang asked directly.â Can you still find her?â I have something to ask her.â
Yu Luâs reaction just now was very strange, which made Hai Tang suspect that Yu Lu was involved in the suit incident.
That way, the suit that had been touched could appear in her house without being discovered.
âIâll ask Li Jiang. Wait for me.â Gu Yun immediately replied.
The call was not hung up. Hai Tang could clearly hear Gu Yunâs soft voice asking Li Jiang.
After a while, Gu Yun said into the phone again,âUmâ¦â I sent her away after that incident last time and didnât pay much attention to her whereabouts. If I canât find her for a while, Iâll get someone to help you search.â
However, now that she was in Yu Hengâs hands, Gu Yun could not say for sure how Yu Heng would deal with Su Sen. He could only try his best to help Hai Tang complete this matter.
âAlright, thank you, Gu Yun.â Hai Tang nodded.
Gu Yun was keenly aware of the nasal tone in Hai Tangâs voice. He immediately asked worriedly,â I feel that you donât seem very happy. What happened? Can I help you solve it?â
Originally, when Hai Tang was alone, she had thought that this matter was insignificant. At most, she had found a friend who was not sincere to her.
But when Gu Yun asked her softly about the situation, Hai Tang suddenly felt countless grievances surge up in her heart, causing her words to become choked up.
âIâm fineâ¦Oh, I have something to do.â Hai Tang subconsciously wanted to be stubborn, but she forcefully changed her words.
She really needed someone to talk to at this moment, so she said incoherently,âGu Yun, youâre right. Iâm just very stupid. Others have been lying to me and playing tricks on me. I donât even know.â Iâve been like this since I was young. Iâve been sold and still help others count money.â
