Gu Wan’s worried heart finally settled down, and she chimed in, “Our Gu Fei doesn’t want to make Shi Xiu marry him just because of their childhood betrothal. Relationships can’t be forced, after all. Gu Fei wants to prove himself to Shi Xiu. This is the first time he’s been in a serious relationship. As for that girl who harassed Shi Xiu at the fan meeting, we don’t know her; I think she’s just a troublemaker trying to attract attention. In any case, our Gu Fei doesn’t know her at all.”

Shi Xiu’s expression cooled. ‘You two have some nerve. I’m right here, you Imow!” She was trembling with anger; she’d never been so taken advantage of in her life! She didn’t expect to meet such appalling people as Gu Fei and his sisters today. They actually had the nerve to lie to the public right before her! ‘I’ve been standing here the whole time, and they still have the audacity to set me up! I never thought such shameless people existed!’ she inwardly fumed.

Shi Xiu’s temper flared; she wished nothing more than to tear Gu Fei apart right now and glared daggers at him. Gu Fei immediately looked terrified. Gu Rou and Gu Wan were all smiles as they quickly grabbed Shi Xiu, saying, “Don’t mind her. She’s just shy. Shi Xiu, don’t be angry. We’ll definitely teach Gu Fei a lesson for you.”

“Why don’t we all head over to the tables and get something to eat first?” Gu Fei suggested to the media reporters, thinking, ‘I’ll stuff them some money later, and thats that. They have their ‘truth” and pictures to go with it. This whole thing is finally over and done with!’

Yun Nan stepped forward and shielded Shi Xiu behind her as she calmly looked at Gu Fei. “Hold on, Mr. Gu Fei. I have something to ask you.”

Gu Wan wanted to get them out of there before any more trouble arose and hurriedly said, “You can ask anything you want after the banquet is over, dear cousin. You and Yun Liu are the stars of the party tonight. Let’s not let these two kids spoil everyone’s fun now, shall we?”

As she spoke, Gu Wan pushed Yun Nan. Yun Nan didn’t want to go with her and shoved her back. Yun Nan was about to explode in anger, so she’d put some strength into it. The push off-balanced Gu Wan and forced her to take a few steps back. She would have had a bad fall had Gu Rou not been there to catch her.

Yun Nan didn’t even look at her and asked Gu Fei directly, “Mr. Gu Fei, we didn’t see you in Lu Town. Were you staying at the inn on the east side of the town? When we left, someone told us they’d found a Rolex watch someone had lost there. Is it yours?”

Gu Fei’s mind raced as he smiled and replied, “There’s no need to be so polite, cousin. Just call me Gu Fei. I did stay on the east side of the town; I didn’t want to bother you guys, so I just quietly followed you guys around town. I didn’t lose my watch, so the Rolex definitely isn’t mine.”

He was quite smart and was on guard against the possibility of Yun Nan tricking the truth out of him, so he took care to answer her question tactfully. Unfortunately for him, Yun Nan had predicted his answer.

She looked towards the confused reporters and stated coldly, “There is no inn on the east side of Lu Town; that’s where the town’s public cattle pens are. If any of you wish to verify this, you can go and check it yourself. So, Mr. Gu Fei, you were actually willing to live in a cowshed for Shi Xiu? You went over and beyond my expectations, Mr. Gu Fei! That’s some dedication you have there!”

Gu Fei’s face reddened, paled, and then purpled with rage. Yun Nan continued, “As for the Rolex I mentioned, it wasn’t found in Lu Town. The woman who claimed to be your lover showed it to us; it has your initials on it, Mr. Gu Fei. I can send you all a photo of it as proof.”

The media reporters began whispering among themselves. The situation was a little awkward—for the Gu family rather than Yun Nan and Shi Xiu. Gu Wan was furious. She lowered her voice and said, “Yun Nan, you’re our family’s adopted child. Why are you siding with outsiders to humiliate us so? Is this how you repay Great Uncle Gu Bei and Great Aunt Chen Yao?”

Yun Nan smiled at her. “I’ll have to agree to disagree with you there, cousin. Shi Xiu is my little sister, and you’re all slandering her so brazenly. Is it because you think the Shi family won’t fall out with you over this due to their image?

Isn’t it too much to bully a little girl like this?”

Seeing Yun Nan’s tough stance, Gu Wan said through gritted teeth, “Shi Xiu and Gu Fei have been betrothed since birth! They’ll be a married couple one day, so making him look bad will only hurt Shi Xiu. Gu Fei did go to Lu Town! He was just too embarrassed to show himself to you guys. What’s wrong with that? It’s not like the entire Lu Town is under your surveillance, is it? Couldn’t he have hidden himself from you guys?

“He couldn’t have.” Chen Yao’s voice sounded out behind Gu Wan. Gu Wan turned around in surprise and saw an unhappy-looking Chen Yao standing behind her. She stuttered out, “G-Great Aunt—”

Chen Yao shut her up with a glance before turning to Gu Fei and uttering, “If you were truly in Lu Town, we would certainly have known about it because we visited every household in Lu Town to give gifts as thanks for their kindness toward my daughter—we visited each and every abode..”
