Chapter 11 : It must be Gu Huan who stole the money!

  • Gu Nai walked into the hall and saw the people sitting inside, suddenly realizing that something big must have happened.
  • Madam Qin, sitting at the top, greeted Gu Nai as she entered.
  • "Xiao Huan, you're back from school. Come sit here with grandma."
  • Gu Nai didn't know what had happened, but her intuition told her that this matter seemed to be related to her...
  • Qin Ke was the first to speak up.
  • She directly expressed her attitude and shouted at Gu Nai, "It must be Gu Huan who stole the money! Otherwise, how could the funds used to alleviate the crisis in my company disappear?"
  • Qin Ke's words caused a dead silence in the hall.
  • Gu Nai's temples throbbed.
  • What?!
  • She stole the money? What money did she steal?!
  • Madam Qin was biased towards Gu Nai, so even though Qin Ke had repeatedly accused Gu Nai of stealing the money before Gu Nai returned, Madam Qin never believed it.
  • "Xiao Huan, tell grandma, what were you doing in Yan Zheng's study last night?" Madam Qin said, patting Gu Nai's hand.
  • Gu Nai was stunned, unable to react at all. It wasn't until Qin Yan Zheng, who was sitting not far away, also turned his gaze towards her that she snapped back to her senses.
  • Go to Qin Yan Zheng's study?
  • That was because...
  • "Is there even a need to say it? She went to steal the money! Yan Zheng agreed to give me the money last night, but unexpectedly, that check was taken by Gu Nai! She's just a thief!" Qin Ke continued aggressively.
  • At this point, Gu Nai had already understood what Qin Ke was talking about.
  • Qin Ke had asked to borrow money last night, and in the end, Qin Yan Zheng had lent it to her. However, the check that was left in Qin Yan Zheng's study had mysteriously disappeared!
  • And since she had just been to Qin Yan Zheng's study, Qin Ke believed that she had taken the check!
  • But she had clearly gone to Qin Yan Zheng's study to remove the USB drive that was left there...
  • "You calm down and listen to what Xiao Huan has to say. How can we make a judgment based solely on your words?" Faced with Qin Ke's aggression, Madam Qin also became impatient.
  • The matter hadn't been concluded yet, so how could Qin Ke be so convinced that it was Gu Huan who took the money?
  • Besides, Gu Huan had practically grown up under her care since childhood. How could she possibly do such a thing!
  • "Grandma!" Qin Ke was displeased with Madam Qin's obvious protection of Gu Nai. She glared fiercely at Gu Nai.
  • If looks could kill, Gu Nai felt like she would have died multiple times already. Qin Ke's gaze was as if she wanted to devour her alive.
  • "I went to the study last night to remove a misplaced USB drive because it contained my manuscript."
  • "Who knows if you're lying or not! Gu Huan, it's definitely you who took the money! I heard that your father's company is in a bad financial situation recently, so you probably need a lot of money, right? Why wouldn't you take this money to help your father's company!" Qin Ke's words became increasingly harsh and unreasonable.
  • Yes, Gu Shi was indeed in a precarious situation, and Gu Jianfeng desperately needed money. But she didn't take it, so was Qin Ke trying to force a confession out of her!
  • "Enough! You're both sisters-in-law from the same family. How can you argue like this! Qin Ke, since Xiao Huan said she didn't take it, go look elsewhere. Maybe you took it and forgot where you put it," Madam Qin said, almost making Qin Ke's nose crooked with anger.
  • Madam Qin's words clearly showed her bias towards Gu Huan!
  • But why? Gu Huan, an outsider who had just married into the Qin family for only two days, why would Madam Qin value her so much!
  • She was her own granddaughter!
