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

Ms. Chen was overjoyed.

Gu Yihuai is Wu Meifang's only son. If something happens to Gu Yihuai, Wu Meifang will definitely be devastated.

Lin Qingran's refusal to reveal any information to Old Madam Gu only fueled Ms. Chen's inner elation.

That's how it should be.

We should keep them completely in the dark and keep delaying things.

Seeing Lin Qingran's aloof expression, Old Madam Gu's expression gradually turned serious.

Her gaze fell on Lin Qingran, and she finally stood up, leaning on her cane.

Lin Qingran saw that Old Madam Gu was about to leave.

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw Old Madam Gu kneel down in front of Lin Qingran with a "plop".

"Qingran, you know that I, an old lady, rarely ask for favors in my life, so I want to ask you now to tell me where Yihuai is."

"Inside the car, Yi Huai must have said something to you, about who this person is and why he's chasing him."

Lin Qingran looked at Old Madam Gu kneeling in front of her, her expression one of shock.

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she squatted down, reaching out to help Grandma Gu up.

"Grandma, I really don't know where Gu Yihuai is."

Why are you so sure I know about this?

Grandma Gu looked pained.

Gu Yihuai was, after all, the child she had raised since he was a child.

She knew how sensible Gu Yihuai was when he was young. The reason Gu Yihuai had become so unruly was entirely because Gu Quanping had betrayed Wu Meifang, which had affected his family values.

Gu Yihuai became unruly, wanting only to take revenge on Gu Quanping for his infidelity to the family. So he used self-destruction to show everyone his dissatisfaction.

Grandma Gu could see how much he liked Lin Qingran.

Therefore, Old Mrs. Gu simply did not believe that Gu Yihuai would do anything to hurt Lin Qingran.

For the next few years, Gu Yihuai felt guilty about what happened to the child.

Therefore, it's impossible for Old Mrs. Gu to believe that Gu Yihuai would actually hurt Lin Qingran.

In Mrs. Gu's view, this was absolutely impossible.

"Qingran, I know you must know something. Please, I'm begging you, okay?"

Seeing the state of Old Madam Gu, Lin Qingran frowned slightly, knelt down in front of her, took a deep breath, and spoke in a heavy tone.

"Grandma, I really don't know. If I knew, I would definitely tell you."

"Mo Xuan and his team are also investigating this matter. You should trust Mo Xuan's abilities. If they have any news, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible."

Grandma Gu listened to Lin Qingran's words with a very heavy expression.

She looked up at Lin Qingran.

Because of the passage of time, Grandma Gu's face was covered with wrinkles.

His eyes looked exceptionally helpless at that moment.

Grandma Gu was also a legendary figure. Grandpa Gu passed away unexpectedly when she was young.

It was Old Mrs. Gu who single-handedly supported the Gu family.

Seeing the helplessness in Old Mrs. Gu's eyes deeply touched Lin Qingran's heart.

Lin Qingran was just now able to speak fiercely to Old Madam Gu.

But seeing how haggard Grandma Gu looked, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

She took a deep breath and said in a particularly heavy tone.

"Grandma, why don't you go back and wait for news? You can't ruin your health before Yihuai comes back."

Grandma Gu looked at Lin Qingran with a puzzled expression.

Lin Qingran placed her hands on the back of Old Madam Gu's hands, her expression exceptionally gentle.

She pursed her red lips slightly, her eyes resolute.

"You must believe that Yi Huai Ge Ji Ren will be blessed by Heaven."

Grandma Gu looked at Lin Qingran, her expression changing slightly.

At this moment, Ms. Chen saw that Old Mrs. Gu was kneeling in front of Lin Qingran. Lin Qingran also showed weakness and walked to Old Mrs. Gu's side, reached out to help her up, and whispered.

“Grandma, Qingran is right. Moxuan has been helping with the investigation all this time. With Moxuan’s abilities, he can definitely find Yihuai.”

Grandma Gu looked at Lin Qingran with a heavy gaze, then slowly got up from the ground, her eyes filled with tears, a sight that made one's heart ache.

She looked at Lin Qingran intently and finally spoke slowly.

"I'll wait for your results."

Lin Qingran frowned slightly as she watched Old Madam Gu leave.

After helping Mrs. Gu out of Sixiangyuan, Ms. Chen returned to the garden.

Lin Qingran sat on the sofa, looking very troubled.

Ms. Chen immediately walked to Lin Qingran's side, a flattering smile on her face, and said softly.

"Qingran, what exactly happened yesterday? Can you tell your aunt about it?"

Ms. Chen is now extremely eager to know what exactly happened to Gu Yihuai.

She had always wanted to integrate into the social circle of wealthy women in Beicheng, but because of Wu Meifang's presence, Ms. Chen's position in the circle was very awkward.

If Gu Yihuai gets into trouble, that bitch Wu Meifang will probably have no time to cultivate relationships with those wealthy women.

When she gets into that circle, it'll be a piece of cake.

During this time, she could even discuss these topics with the wealthy ladies who inquired about her affairs.

Seeing Ms. Chen's gloating expression, Lin Qingran frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

But since Ms. Chen was Gu Moxuan's mother, Lin Qingran didn't go too far, but spoke calmly and softly.

"Auntie, I don't know what happened yesterday. I'm not feeling well right now and I'd like to go upstairs to lie down. I'm sorry."

Seeing this, Ms. Chen frowned slightly, clearly realizing that Lin Qingran didn't really want to talk about this topic with her, and looked at Lin Qingran with dissatisfaction.

"Qingran, aren't we family now?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran looked at Ms. Chen and said calmly.

"Auntie, what do you mean by saying that?"

Ms. Chen was taken aback when she saw the serious expression on Lin Qingran's face. She then gave an awkward smile and said softly.

"I'm sorry, Qingran. I thought you were just making excuses because you didn't want to talk to me. Since you're not feeling well, you should go upstairs and rest."

She paused for a moment, glanced at Lin Qingran's face, and then said in a low voice.

"Your face is a bit red and swollen. You should apply some ice first, otherwise when Mo Xuan comes back, it will cause another rift with the Gu family."

Ms. Chen had just finished speaking when Gu Moxuan walked in from outside the door.

He was holding Lin Jinjin's hand when he saw that Ms. Chen was there. His expression immediately darkened, and he said coldly.

"Why are you here?"

When Ms. Chen saw Gu Moxuan return, she paused for a moment, then gave an awkward smile and said softly.

"Mo Xuan, I didn't mean to bother Qing Ran. It's just that the old lady wanted to come and see Qing Ran, so I came along."
