Zheng Pianpian controlled her emotions, and her eyes reddened.

She held back her tears, staring intently at Gu Moxuan.

Seeing Zheng Pianpian looking at him like that, Gu Moxuan took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"I've already had it removed from the trending topics list. At this point in time, not many people should have seen it."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Pianpian indifferently and said in a low voice.

"You should avoid confronting Lin Qingran directly in the future."

Upon hearing Gu Moxuan's words, a hint of resentment flashed in Zheng Pianpian's eyes. When Gu Moxuan looked at her at this moment, there was no trace of pity in his eyes.

She clenched her fists tightly and said in a deep voice.

“Mo Xuan, if you hadn’t arranged for Lin Qingran to work at the Emperor Group, I wouldn’t have been able to do these things.”

"Lin Qingran is clearly provoking me on purpose. You knew she would target me, yet you still put her in the Emperor Group without even discussing it with me. You caught me completely off guard."

Gu Moxuan glanced at Old Master Zheng, who was furious, after hearing Zheng Pianpian's accusation.

Old Master Zheng's expression was extremely unpleasant. He glanced indifferently at Zheng Pianpian and said in a cold voice.

“I asked Mo Xuan to arrange it this way. I didn’t expect you to be so useless. It’s only the first day, and you’ve already caused so much trouble.”

"You knew she would target you and try to provoke you, yet you still fell for her trick."

"Zheng Pianpian, what exactly have you learned in the Zheng family all these years?"

"You haven't learned anything, but you've picked up all of your mother's worldly ways."

As Old Master Zheng spoke, his expression grew increasingly angry. He gave Zheng Pianpian a cold look and said sternly.

"I shouldn't have let you go back to the Zheng family in the first place."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Pianpian took a deep breath and unconsciously clenched her hands together.

Gu Moxuan glanced at Zheng Pianpian calmly, but didn't say anything.

After Old Master Zheng finished speaking, he gave Zheng Pianpian a cold look and said sternly.

"Mo Xuan has put you in charge of the Emperor Group for this period of time mainly so that you can keep an eye on Lin Qingran and prevent her from doing anything that would be detrimental to the Zheng family."

"I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to actually pull the Zheng family out from behind the scenes."

Gu Moxuan glanced indifferently at Old Master Zheng and said in a deep voice.

"Now that the Zheng family's relationship with the Emperor Group is known to the public, father-in-law, you'd better be careful during this time."

Upon hearing Gu Moxuan's words, Old Master Zheng took a deep breath and said with dissatisfaction.

"The one above has always been dissatisfied with the Zheng family's rise to power in recent years."

"Right now, they just lack an opportunity to investigate the Zheng family. Mo Xuan, if something happens to the Zheng family, you won't be able to escape either. So, Mo Xuan, destroy all the account books related to your brother."

Upon hearing Old Master Zheng's words, Gu Moxuan nodded seriously and said in a deep voice.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I won't be so foolish as to leave the evidence for them to find. After all, we're in the same boat."

"I destroyed the ledger a long time ago, and no one can find it."

Old Master Zheng naturally did not believe what Gu Moxuan said.

Gu Moxuan is a man of many thoughts, and he would never leave any dirt on others. Although they seem to be a family now, everyone can see Gu Moxuan's attitude towards Zheng Pianpian.

Especially after Lin Qingran's incident, Old Master Zheng became even more certain that Zheng Pianpian could not hold onto Gu Moxuan.

Gu Moxuan glanced indifferently at Old Master Zheng, and seeing that Old Master Zheng seemed to be deep in thought, he said in a low voice.

"Father-in-law, I'll go upstairs to deal with the current situation first."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, you go ahead and take care of it. Come down for dinner in a bit."

Gu Moxuan nodded and got up to go upstairs.

Grandpa Zheng glanced at Gu Moxuan's retreating figure as he went upstairs, then looked at the injury on Zheng Pianpian's forehead.

The teacup hit her forehead, causing a large bump to immediately appear. And when Gu Moxuan was facing Zheng Pianpian, he didn't even spare a glance of concern for her.

He took a deep breath, his expression turning cold and sharp, glanced at Zheng Pianpian, and said in a deep voice.

"You and Gu Moxuan have lived together for so many years, yet you still sleep in separate rooms?"

Upon hearing Old Master Zheng's words, Zheng Pianpian lowered her head and remained silent.

Old Master Zheng gave Zheng Pianpian a cold look and said in a deep voice.

"You're just like your mother, useless."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Pianpian took a deep breath, composed herself, looked at her father, and said calmly.

“Mo Xuan refuses to sleep with me, I can’t force him, can I?”

"And I don't think there's anything wrong with how we get along."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Zheng glanced coldly at Zheng Pianpian and said in a detached voice.

"You and Mo Xuan have been living together for so many years, why are you still pretending to be reserved? Now that the Emperor Group has so many problems, Lin Qingran is targeting the Emperor Group and you."

"Don't you understand Mo Xuan's attitude towards Lin Qingran?"

"If Lin Qingran finds out anything wrong, Gu Moxuan will absolutely not protect the Zheng family."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Pianpian's expression changed slightly.

In front of Gu Moxuan, Zheng Pianpian has always maintained her status as a young lady.

She returned to the Zheng family when she was a child. The deceased Mrs. Zheng was not her mother. In a sense, she was actually the illegitimate daughter of the Zheng family.

However, in order to protect his reputation, Mr. Zheng had his wife take her back.

Therefore, she always called the Zheng family's wife "Mother".

She knew that Gu Moxuan was an illegitimate child.

Perhaps in order to maintain her standing in front of Gu Moxuan, she has always pretended to be very aloof all these years, even though she knows that Gu Moxuan doesn't have feelings for her.

How could she, the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, take the initiative to ask Gu Moxuan to share a room with her?

Moreover, she didn't love Gu Moxuan before; she only asked him to marry her because she wanted her child to have a father.

But now...

Everything seemed to be developing in a direction beyond my control.

She took a deep breath, her expression unusually serious, her hands unconsciously clenching together, and said in a low voice.

"Dad, what do you want me to do?"

Grandpa Zheng looked at Zheng Pianpian, gave her a cold glance, and said in a low voice.

"I think you know what to do without me having to teach you."

"Pianpian, you and Moxuan have been married for so many years and you don't even have a child of your own. Do you really think that you can win Moxuan's heart with a daughter who is not related to him by blood?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Pianpian fell silent.

Over the years, Zheng Pianpian has been very good to Gu Momo.
