Chapter 133: Smiling Little Feather
Now, Qin Muxuan only wanted to run away from this place which could be so suffocating.
She had sex with Gu Zijin because she had been set up by her stepmother, as for her father…
Qin Muxuan didn’t want to comment on him, but nor did she want to hear others talking about him like this.
She only felt herself drenched by a basin of humiliation from head to toe, and the coldness had reached her heart from her skin.
Suddenly, a large hand was put on her shoulder firmly. Gu Zijin might have detected how frustrated she was right now and said to her, “Go back to your room now.”
“She hasn’t given me a satisfied explanation yet. Why do you let her go back? Zijin, are you trying to say that I have made trouble for her and everything I said is wrong?”
Every time Elderly Lady Gu saw Gu Zijin protecting Qin Muxuan, she always couldn’t help but get mad.
‘Qin Muxuan, this foxy woman, she’s really cast a spell on Zijin. Now he only wants to protect her no matter what and doesn’t even respect his grandma.’
“Grandmother, I don’t know why you said that, but I believe that I can give all the explanations you want to hear.”
Gu Zijin said in a tender tone on purpose in order to calm Elderly Lady Gu down.
“I just heard from our servant that Xiaobai is waiting for his mother to make handcraft homework with him, please let Muxuan go first.”
Elderly Lady Gu didn’t say anything then. Qin Muxuan, her legs going limp, walked back to her room in a daze with only Elderly Lady Gu’s words echoing in her head.
Qin Xiaobai was totally freaked out when seeing Qin Muxuan’s pale face.
When he knew that his mother had come back, he had wanted to greet her downstairs. However, the servant by his door didn’t allow him to leave, claiming that Elderly Lady Gu had something to say to his mother.
Qin Xiaobai felt something wrong at once, knowing that his great grandma must be making trouble for his mother again!
“Mom, are you all right?” Qin Xiaobai rushed over to hug Qin Muxuan, “Did great grandma give you a hard time again?”
Qin Muxuan tried her best to hold back her tears and forced a smile,
“I’m fine. Mom is not in a good mood today because of my work. How’s your day, Xiaobai? Do you have handcraft homework to do?”
“I had a great day and made a few new friends. I do have handcraft homework, but I’ve finished it at school. My teacher has praised me because of that.”
Only then did Qin Muxuan realize that Gu Zijin had only used this excuse to help her escape from there.
“Dabai, you can tell Xiaobai everything. You shouldn’t hide anything from me and stay upset alone.”
Qin Muxuan nodded,
“I know, but I need some time by myself now. Xiaobai, why don’t you go to read some books or make a painting?”
“OK.”
Qin Xiaobai nodded tamely and turned around to go to the study.
As Qin Muxuan stared at Qin Xiaobai’s back and remembered what had happened during that past years, her tears kept falling down ceaselessly.
If that thing had never happened, what would her life be like this right now? Would she be living a happy and ordinary life with Yin Youting?
Even if she didn’t marry Yin Youting at last, she also wouldn’t have had any connection to the Gu’s family or been humiliated like this.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Having let out a deep sigh, Qin Muxuan buried her head in the quilt and had a loud cry.
After she calmed down a bit, she washed her face and then called Qin Xiaobai over.
…
“Ye Han, didn’t we see the news on this iPad? How come we couldn’t find it now?”
Elderly Lady Gu couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the iPad which had been given to her by Yan Yuxiao.
Ye Han was also confused,
“Perhaps someone has deleted it? Might be the people from our public relations department.”
Elderly Lady Gu then raised her head to look at Gu Zijin,
“Zijin, did you order someone to delete all the news to protect Qin Muxuan?”
Gu Zijin sat beside Elderly Lady Gu and explained patiently,
“Grandma, the news you have read was all created by a company called Hot News Reporter. Muxuan’s best friend works there and provided some fake information to that company for money. The account which belongs to Hot News Reporter was already shut down. Therefore, those slanders they made or the rumors they spread also disappeared on the Internet. Even if I didn’t delete the news, the people of that company would try their best to delete it by themselves, because everything they posted against Qin Muxuan would be the proof of their crime of defamation.
Elderly Lady Gu poked him with her walking stick,
“Zijin, how did you know that those are rumors? How much do you know about Qin Muxuan? Do you know about what has happened to her family and what kind of people her family are?”
“Among all the Qin’s people, I only need to know about Qin Muxuan. I don’t care about others or have the intention to know about them. Also, the proof that Hot News Reporter has slandered Qin Muxuan is all over the Internet now.”
Gu Zijin used the iPad to search for the news about the affairs between Zhong Yueyue and Qin Muxuan. Then Elderly Lady Gu started to browse all these websites.
Although Elderly Lady Gu was a bit mean, she still had a clear mind. After she checked a few pieces of the news, she already understood part of the truth. As she read more of the context, she then got the whole picture of the story.
She also regretted a little about what she had said to Qin Muxuan, but she would never admit that.
After she asked more about Zhong Yueyue, she curled her lip and said,
“People of one kind come together. Since Qin Muxuan has a friend like that, she wouldn’t be a good girl either.”
Though she said that, her voice sounded much softer.
Gu Zijin was helpless.
He knew that his grandmother had already known about the truth and just didn’t want to admit that she was wrong.
That was just who she was. She had been a proud woman for her whole life and would never admit her fault because of something she thought to be a little mistake.
That would never happen.
As Gu Zijin checked the screen, he accidentally found out that it was Yan Yuxiao’s account being logged onto-Smiling Little Feather.
Before, Gu Zijin’s Weibo had been followed by this account for a long time, and it was hard for him not to remember that name.
Then, he asked, “Where does this iPad come from? Did Yan Yuxiao give this to you?”
“How do you know that? Yuxiao came here this afternoon to give me this. She just took an advertisement of this brand and brought this iPad to me as a gift.” Elderly Lady Gu said in surprise.
Gu Zijin pointed to the account and said, “She has logged onto her own account on this iPad. At the time when she sent there iPad here, the rumors about Qin Muxuan have been long gone, but you were still able to see them, which means… it is very likely that she has saved the news in her cloud drive to show it to you on purpose. After you saw the news, she just deleted it in order to destroy the proof.”
The words ‘cloud drive’ and ‘delete’ really confused Elderly Lady Gu and Ye Han.
With a cold look crossing Gu Zijin’s eyes, he said,
“If she has been logging onto her account in this iPad, she could also see everything we save in this device. That means she has set up security monitoring at our house.”
