The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

Lu Xueqi frowned, looking at Ms. Chen with slight dissatisfaction, her eyes also showing a hint of heaviness.

"Auntie, you need to have evidence to back up your claims. What evidence do you have to say that?"

Ms. Chen was taken aback by Lu Xueqi's words.

Lu Xueqi has actually calmed down in the face of her accusations.

This calmness is clearly suspicious.

Ms. Chen couldn't find any evidence, but seeing Lu Xueqi's confident demeanor, she felt resentful.

A woman who is so ruthless to herself is like a ticking time bomb if she were placed next to Gu Moxuan.

"Don't be smug. If you've done it, we'll definitely be able to find evidence."

Lu Xueqi pursed her red lips, her expression one of utter helplessness, and said softly.

"Auntie, do you think Mo Xuan will still be with me if he finds the evidence?"

Gu Moxuan happened to hear Lu Xueqi's words when he entered the room.

When Lu Xueqi saw Gu Moxuan walk into the house, her expression changed almost simultaneously, and she nervously swallowed.

Her hands, which were resting on her lap, unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt tightly.

"What evidence?"

When Ms. Chen saw Gu Moxuan return, she immediately got up and walked to his side. She looked up at him and said in a deep voice.

"Mo Xuan, this woman has ulterior motives."

Lu Xueqi gritted her teeth inwardly, her mind in turmoil by Ms. Chen's unconventional attitude. She was also worried that Gu Moxuan might have noticed something, and her body stiffened slightly.

Gu Moxuan glanced coldly at Ms. Chen without saying a word.

His deep eyes were fixed on Lu Xueqi, with a hint of scrutiny in them.

Lu Xueqi gritted her teeth as Gu Moxuan stared at her with such deep eyes, feeling increasingly nervous.

She knew that if she showed even the slightest sign of panic, Gu Moxuan would have something to use against her.

Therefore, it is precisely in moments like these that she needs to remain calm.

"Mo Xuan, why are you looking at me like that? Do you believe what your aunt said?"

"With so much wealth and resources around you, investigating me should be very easy."

Her calmness was unexpected, and it was this calmness that made Gu Moxuan suspicious again.

Lu Xueqi was indeed closely connected to the car accident.

Lu Xueqi swallowed hard, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Moxuan turn his gaze away from her.

The man didn't say anything else, he just sat on the sofa with a cold and mysterious expression.

Lu Xueqi couldn't guess Gu Moxuan's thoughts, so she could only sit in her wheelchair and watch him cautiously.

Gu Moxuan remained silent, neither speaking up for her nor criticizing Ms. Chen for making unfounded guesses; it was impossible to fathom what he was thinking.

More than half a year has passed since then.

The train driver is still in prison, and it's unknown whether the other party revealed any useful information.

However, Lu Xueqi had never contacted the truck driver, so she was relatively at ease about that.

Six months have passed, and Gu Moxuan hasn't found anything out, so she should be safe.

Seeing that Gu Moxuan had fallen silent, Ms. Chen immediately sat down next to him and said softly.

"Mo Xuan, regarding your engagement to Miss Lu, I've decided we can postpone it for a while. Wouldn't it be better to wait until the truth of the matter is fully revealed before making a decision?"

As Lu Xueqi listened to Ms. Chen's words, her hands clenched slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared in her eyes. However, she quickly calmed down, looked at Gu Moxuan calmly, and said softly.

"Mo Xuan, I think your aunt is right. Let's take it easy."

"Since everyone is so divided on this matter, I don't mind waiting until things are completely clear before getting engaged."

Lu Xueqi smiled, her face full of understanding.

Gu Moxuan gave Lu Xueqi a deep look.

Lu Xueqi showed no sign of panic; the corners of her lips curled slightly, and her eyes remained calm and composed.

"We originally came back for your aunt's birthday. Let's put our business aside for now."

When Ms. Chen saw that Lu Xueqi was now acting all understanding again, her face immediately darkened, and she looked at Lu Xueqi with displeasure.

However, Ms. Chen suffered a lot from Lu Xueqi during this period, and she also knew that she could not confront Lu Xueqi head-on.

After all, she is still outwardly the one who saved Gu Moxuan.

"Since Xueqi has said so, let's do it this way."

As Ms. Chen spoke, her gaze fell on Gu Moxuan, as if she were seeking his opinion.

Lu Xueqi smiled as she looked at Gu Moxuan, only to see the man who had just had a somber expression nod slightly.

Her hands, which were resting on her skirt, clenched even tighter.

Lu Xueqi knew that Gu Moxuan didn't want to marry her.

But whether Gu Moxuan likes it or not, she has no way out.

"Auntie, let's not dwell on this anymore. I bought you your birthday present in advance. Take a look, it should be something you like."

Lu Xueqi took out the brocade box from the table and placed it in front of Ms. Chen, her expression full of flattery.

Ms. Chen glanced indifferently at the jewelry Lu Xueqi had given her before looking away.

These items were clearly valuable, but they no longer held any allure for Ms. Chen.

There was no thought behind it at all, and this expensive item was obviously paid for by Gu Moxuan.

This isn't even the money her son earned.

"Thank you for your kindness, Butler Mo. Please accept this for me."

Ms. Chen remained indifferent. Although she accepted the gift, she still did not give Lu Xueqi a friendly look.

Lu Xueqi pursed her red lips, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes, but she maintained a faint smile to avoid further conflict with Ms. Chen.

After all, Ms. Chen is known for her outspokenness, and if she says something that shakes Gu Moxuan's resolve, it will be very detrimental to her.

Lu Xueqi had been on guard against Ms. Chen saying anything lately, but she didn't expect Ms. Chen to find a loophole and bring up this topic.

Ms. Chen glanced at Lu Xueqi indifferently, and the more she looked at her, the less she liked her.

She had known for a long time that Lu Xueqi was a bit scheming, but she never expected Lu Xueqi to be so scheming.

And she was also a hostess.

She should have found out Lu Xueqi's background sooner, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a passive position now.

Ultimately, she also bears some responsibility for what happened that day.

Gu Moxuan clearly had no feelings for Lu Xueqi, yet she still invited Lu Xueqi to be a guest at Maple Forest Manor.

If it weren't for her invitation that day, perhaps Lu Xueqi's parents would still be alive, and Lu Xueqi would never have gotten involved with Gu Moxuan.

Ms. Chen rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"I've already handed over the birthday invitations to Butler Mo. I don't have anything else to do here, so you can all go back now."

She desperately wanted to avoid seeing Lu Xueqi right now; whenever she saw Lu Xueqi, she felt an urge to tear off Lu Xueqi's hypocritical face.

Lu Xueqi nodded upon hearing this, smiled, glanced at Gu Moxuan, and then spoke softly.

"Mo Xuan, let's go back first."

Upon hearing this, Gu Moxuan stood up from the sofa, gave Lu Xueqi a deep look, and then walked outside.

Lu Xueqi took a deep breath and clearly felt the change in Gu Moxuan's emotions towards her.

She bit her lip, trying her best not to show any unease, but she couldn't stop feeling flustered inside.

We've come this far, and we're about to gain everything. What if something unexpected suddenly happens?

She feared she would never be able to get close to Gu Moxuan again in her lifetime.

The more afraid she was, the more she cared about it.

For the past few months, she has pretended to be completely indifferent to the matter, and no matter what others speculate, she has remained silent.

But now Gu Moxuan has reached the point of ignoring her.

So Lu Xueqi couldn't help but tug at Gu Moxuan's hand and said in a soft tone.

"Mo Xuan, you've been influenced by what your aunt said, haven't you? You think I was involved in this car accident?"

Her voice was soft, and her eyes were already red as she spoke.

Gu Moxuan frowned as he looked at her slightly reddened eyes and said in a deep voice.

"You don't need to worry about these things, I will investigate and find out."
