Chapter 10: Are You Sure?

"Speak, what’s going on?"

In the main room, Gu Chunhai looked at Gu Juan with a black face, and at Gu Lingling who just got down from the kang after putting on clothes.

So young, yet already going astray, dating?

"Gu Juan, don’t push everything onto Lingling, Wang Qingfeng’s mom specifically named you." Gu Chunmei angrily said while pulling Gu Lingling to her side.

"Grandma, I’m not lying, I really delivered it for Sister Lingling." Gu Juan said pitifully.

Gu Lingling was only a few months older than Gu Juan. Normally, Gu Juan never called her sister at home, only at times like these.

Gu Lingling smiled coldly inside.

Soon Gu Juan should be running to the room to find that letter to prove her innocence, right?

"Lingling, what do you say?" Just as Old Mrs. Gu was about to speak, Gu Chunhai said.

Gu Lingling was stunned.

In the past life, Gu Chunhai never asked her, nor did he want to hear her explanation.

It seems the previous work has taken effect.

"I... it wasn’t me..." Gu Lingling nervously tugged at her clothes.

"Look at her guilty look, do you even need to ask?" Old Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Lingling and said, "Didn’t Juanzi say she was delivering the letter for Gu Lingling?"

Yao Ruqian had always been in poor health, and after giving birth to Gu Lingling, her health was even worse, sustained only by medicine.

Although Gu Chunhai was making money from long-distance travel, most of it was spent on Yao Ruqian. If Yao Zhenjiang hadn’t taken Gu Chunhai as an apprentice back then, Old Mrs. Gu would have long given Yao Ruqian a divorce letter and chased her out of the Gu Family.

Because of her dislike for Yao Ruqian, she naturally wouldn’t like Gu Lingling much either.

Especially since she was a girl.

"Mom, Wang Qingfeng’s mom clearly named Gu Juan. You are really funny." Gu Chunmei was angered to laughter, looked at Gu Lingling with pity, "Gu Juan, you need evidence to speak."

"I..." Gu Juan bit her lip and looked at Gu Lingling, "I have evidence, I saw Gu Lingling writing a love letter to Wang Qingfeng this afternoon."

"What? Have you no shame?" Old Mrs. Gu said angrily.

"It’s all my fault for not teaching Lingling properly." Wang Meili wiped her tears and said, "I thought she was like a tomboy usually and wouldn’t have such thoughts. It’s my fault."

"I didn’t." Gu Lingling raised her head in shock, then looked pitifully at Gu Chunmei, "Aunt, believe me, I didn’t, it wasn’t me."

Gu Chunhai’s heart sank upon hearing this.

The child looked at her with hope, but not at him, her father, nor Wang Meili.

But at her already married aunt.

"I have evidence." After Gu Juan finished speaking, she hurriedly ran out and came back shortly with a letter in her hand, "Grandma, see, this is the love letter Gu Lingling wrote to Wang Qingfeng."

Old Mrs. Gu couldn’t read a word, she took the letter and handed it to her son sitting next to her, "Take a look."

The tone was very bad.

"I think Meili is right. This girl reading so much has instead made her cleverer. Since she’s not studying well, she might as well come back and help me with work." Old Mrs. Gu said.

"Don’t corrupt my Juanzi too." Old Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Lingling and said.

Gu Chunhai took the letter and read it with no expression on his face.

Wang Meili’s heart skipped a beat, then she lovingly walked to Gu Lingling, "Mom, Lingling just couldn’t think it through for a moment, don’t be angry. I’ll talk to her properly later, but as for schooling, I think maybe we should forget about it."

"Lingling, you should quickly admit your mistake to your grandma and dad." Wang Meili said anxiously.

"Second Brother, I don’t believe Lingling wrote this. There must be some misunderstanding." Gu Chunmei anxiously said seeing Gu Chunhai not speaking, "You say something."

"Juanzi, is this your evidence? Are you sure?" Gu Chunhai asked while holding the letter.
