Hearing the noise in the living room, Sheng Kai and Sheng Bowen walked to the living room from the yard.

Ziling, Xiao Ran, what happened? Sheng Kai quickly held his wife but Gu Ziling pushed him away.

Listen to me first. Gu Ziling knelt on the ground and said to Grandpa Sheng. Grandpa, let me be honest with you. My father is sick lately. And in order to prevent chaos in Gu Corporation, my mother has been keeping it a secret from the public. But you know what? Just now, in the charity dinner, Third Sister-in-law heard the news from Mu Qiqi and spread the news right away. I didnt know what her intention was. She even let me be humiliated by Mu Qiqi and Lu Qianqian.

Sure enough, Mu Qiqi had guessed correctly.

Gu Zilings action of framing people was terribly shameless.

My mother called me just now and told me that it is a mess in Gu Corporation now. My father has only been ill for a few days. Was it necessary for Third Sister-in-law to publicize it? Maybe it is because I have let her be bullied after she married into the Sheng family. That is why she hates me and wants to destroy the Gu family. Hence, Grandpa, for the sake of the harmony in the Sheng family, you should chase me out of the family.

Gu Ziling was such an arrogant person and now she was crying and kneeling before Grandpa?

Sheng Kai glared at Hu Ran after hearing what Gu Ziling said. Ziling is your sister-in-law. Why did you help Mu Qiqi that bitch instead?

Sheng Bowen hurriedly stood before Hu Ran. You should not just listen to Second Sister-in-law alone.

Grandpa Sheng sighed. He pointed at Hu Ran with his chin. Explain yourself, Xiao Ran.

Grandpa, things are not like what Second Sister-in-law said. After the banquet, Second Sister-in-law was still wanting to win Mu Qiqi. So, she quarreled with Mu Qiqi. Unexpectedly, Mu Qiqi was holding a secret of the Gu family. So, Mu Qiqi warned her. You will know she wanted to one-up Mu Qiqi just by looking at her outfit today. But unlike what she had imagined, she lost to Mu Qiqi terribly. Besides, I heard that the Sheng family planned to donate a pair of earrings. But in order to save face, Second Sister-in-law donated the ring Second Brother gave her. It was sold for 5.5 million in the auction. If you dont believe what I have just said, you can look into it! And at the end of the banquet when everyone was leaving, Second Sister-in-law rushed to the entrance and wanted to slap Mu Qiqi but she was stopped by Mu Qiqis friend. Then, she started to shout at Mu Qiqi, saying that it was her who exposed the news about the Gu family. Mu Qiqi ignored her. Then, she said Mu Qiqi snatched Sheng Xiao from her. If Mu Qiqi did not steal Sheng Xiao away from her, she will be the wife of the CEO of Zhongteng. Why has it suddenly become me who spread the news once we are back here?

Youre clearly in cahoots with Mu Qiqi! Gu Ziling refuted loudly.

It is you who embarrassed the Sheng family. It is you who fantasized being someone elses wife and betrayed Second Brother. How can you slander me for that? Hu Ran did not budge. If you dont believe me, you can go and ask the guests.

I just couldnt stand seeing Mu Qiqi be so arrogant. But my bond with Sheng Kai is extremely strong. Dont try to provoke discord here. You must have colluded with Mu Qiqi!

Enough! Grandpa Sheng shouted after hearing their explanations. How could so many things happen after you attended a charity dinner?

Did you really donate the ring I gave you? Sheng Kai lowered his head and looked at Gu Ziling.

I just dont want the other people to look down on Huang Yao.

Do you know the meaning of the ring? It is a treasure handed down from generations to generations. You are too generous. Sheng Kai laughed helplessly. Besides, arent you clear of whether Mu Qiqi did steal Sheng Xiao from you or not? Were married for so long, but I didnt even know that you are still longing for Eighth Brother?

Kai, dont listen to her. She is slandering me. Gu Ziling tried to explain.

There were so many witnesses. I dont have to slander you. Grandpa and Second Brother will know the truth once they ask, Hu Ran said firmly. You embarrassed yourself just now and now you are trying to pin everything on me. Am I an easy target for bullies? Besides, it is a serious problem when your father falls sick. After such a big thing happened to the Gu family, why dont you tell Grandpa or your husband? What are you planning to do?

Whose family business will not experience several turbulence? You have not worked in the business field before, of course you will not know. Grandpa, it is my fault I did not tell you right away. But my father is just having a minor condition. It will not affect the business of the Gu family. I have been the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family for half a year. Dont you believe me? Gu Ziling was still quibbling.

Who cares about the trivial matters of the Gu family? But why did you slander me? Hu Ran would not let Gu Ziling go.

Although what happened tonight brought shame to Sheng Kai, he still needed to protect Gu Ziling as she was his wife.

Humiliating his wife was the same as slapping him!

Stand up.

Kai.

I trust you, said Sheng Kai to Gu Ziling, I will try to get back the ring. I will forget all about your words. But, Ziling, this is the first and last time.

Kai I know you love me best. Gu Ziling stood up. Then, she glared at Hu Ran. You were being so friendly to Mu Qiqi once you entered the hall. You really made me suspect that you allied with Mu Qiqi. Third Brother and you have always sided with Sheng Xiao. I wont believe that you have got nothing to do with what is happening to the Gu family.

Grandpa, are you sure you want to be deceived by Second Sister-in-law? Third Brother suddenly opened his mouth after keeping quiet from the beginning. If it is just a minor illness, do the Gu family need to hide it from the public? Does the Second Sister-in-law need to be so scared about other people knowing that your father is sick? There is only one reason for you not telling it to anyone. You are afraid of losing the support of the Sheng family. You are scared of losing Grandpas support. You need to secure your place in the Sheng family! It is such an embarrassing thing to lose the family treasure! Grandpa, why dont you question her? And she started complaining once she got home. How can she prove that it was Xiao Ran who did it? For the sake of this family, I have cut ties with Eighth Brother. I work hard to gain your trust, to show you my loyalty? But the fact is you side with Second Brother! You knew there was a problem with Tiffany & Co. but still you let him take the risk and collaborate with that company. Then what am I to you? Maybe its better for me to be the son-in-law married into the Hu family. Otherwise, I cant do anything when my wife is bullied to this extent! Xiao Ran, lets go!
