Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

Chapter 139

Li Jingrui's doubts deepened. She didn't quite understand what Hong Momo was talking about. She looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What are you talking about? Did something happen?"

Hong Momo smiled bitterly and did not answer her, but looked directly at Tian Zhenyuan.

"I really don't understand what happened between you back then, regardless of whether you truly distrusted each other. Now that he's back, it's certain he came back with a purpose. If that's the case, why can't we be honest with each other, put aside your suspicions, and help him together?"

Tian Zhenyuan listened to Hong Momo's words with a smile on his face. Even Li Toyota, who used to be the most talkative and had the most impatient temper, couldn't help but fall silent.

Li Jingrui stared with curious eyes, her gaze sweeping across each of their faces. She couldn't understand what their expressions meant or what they represented, but she seemed to have heard vaguely that what Dong and Hong Momo were talking about was what happened to their several major families that year.

Hong Dancheng stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, wiped his mouth with the tablecloth beside him, thought for a moment, and slowly said: "The matter here is really too complicated. It's not that we don't understand what you said, but the implications are too huge. Moreover, we have found clues to many things, so..."

"This is our family affair, so we should handle it between us. It's best if you don't get involved." Yao Lina, who had been sitting quietly, interrupted Hong Dancheng, her face calm. After years of forbearance, she had long since learned how to conceal her emotions. Although she had been waiting for this day, she didn't trust anyone in this room—including her current husband, Lin Dawei.

"Your family affairs? Humph!" Li Fengtian couldn't help but snort. He despised Yao Lina and Lin Dawei the most. He and his companions had been forced to take over the Jiangning Manufacturing business, but Lin Dawei and Yao Lina had betrayed Lin Yuanshan. The feeling of being backstabbed by the two closest people must be unforgettable. Therefore, in Li Fengtian's opinion, the two people who least wanted Lin Tao to be in this room must be Lin Dawei and Yao Lina.

In response to Li Toyota's sarcasm, Lin Dawei just smiled slightly, and Yao Lina also remained calm. However, Lin Xueer seemed very dissatisfied. She stood up and wanted to refute.

Yao Lina grabbed her and shook her head gently to signal her not to speak. Lin Xueer had no choice but to sit down again and drank the wine in front of her in one gulp.

Li Jingrui patted her back gently to comfort her. Lin Xueer smiled bitterly and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Lin Xueer's attitude didn't seem to dispel Li Fengtian's dissatisfaction. She continued, "After Big Brother got into trouble, we didn't do anything, but we didn't betray him either. But what about you? You went to Iran without saying a word. You ran away cleanly, but do you know what Tao'er went through here alone?"

"Old Li, it's all in the past. There's no need to..."

Tian Zhenyuan wanted to stop Li Fengtian, but Li Fengtian didn't seem to want to stop. "What do you mean by 'in the past'? I can understand anyone here saying it's in the past, but not you!" Li Fengtian pointed at Tian Zhenyuan and said, "Can you get over it? Have you forgotten all the suffering that Tian Tian endured over the years? How much hardship she endured?"

These words hit Tian Zhenyuan's heart hard, and even the smile on his face paused for a few seconds, but it returned to normal in an instant.

"How old was Tian Tian back then? 10, maybe? A 10-year-old girl was abandoned alone in an orphanage. What was the reason? A 10-year-old girl lived alone abroad. Wasn't it just to find Taoer? Second brother, I haven't called you that for all these years. Today, I really can't help it. If we don't talk it out clearly today, no one will leave this room."

After saying that, Li Toyota slammed the table heavily, and the bodyguard Zhong Liyu outside the house pushed the door and walked in.

"From now on, no one is allowed to leave this room without my order." Li Toyota said to Zhong Liyu.

Zhong Liyu was like an expressionless person. He nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Li Jingrui's face for a second, then he solemnly closed the door again and stood at the door dutifully.

Tian Zhenyuan smiled bitterly this time, and so did Hong Dancheng. On the contrary, Lin Dawei, as always, seemed to be a person who was away from home and looked indifferent.

"It's absolutely safe here, so I think everyone should be as honest as possible!" Li Toyota said and sat back down, his hands clasped across his chest, his back leaning against the chair, his eyes fixed on a large round plate in the middle of the table.

The room fell silent for a moment. No one spoke and the atmosphere was eerie and terrifying.

Hong Momo wanted to speak, but when the words came to her lips she didn't know how to start, so she chose to remain silent.

Li Jingrui had only said one sentence since she came in. At this time, she had a lot of questions to ask, but before she could open her mouth, Lin Xueer on the side spoke.

"We didn't betray Dad!"

As soon as Lin Xueer said this, Yao Lina and Lin Dawei spoke up at the same time to stop her, and the others looked at her in surprise.

"You just called me dad, what do you mean..." Tian Zhenyuan asked uncertainly.

"Stop talking. There are elders here. It's not your turn to speak." Yao Lina glared at Lin Xueer fiercely and spoke to stop her.

Lin Dawei's expression also became very serious. He looked at Lin Xueer and shook his head vigorously to signal her not to speak.

All of this was seen by the other three old foxes. They seemed to have noticed something unusual, so they looked at each other and then looked at Lin Xueer.

"Xue'er, what did you want to say just now?" Hong Dancheng asked suspiciously, "What do you mean you didn't betray your father? Your father is referring to... him?" Hong Dancheng pointed at Lin Dawei and asked.

Lin Xueer looked at the serious and anxious expressions of Yao Lina and Lin Dawei, frowned as if she had some concerns, and couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing whether she should continue.

"Xue'er, just say whatever you want to say. The worst thing has already happened. How much worse can it get now?" Tian Zhenyuan also asked.
