Chapter 371 Warmth's Cleverness

Gu Nuannuan added, "If Brother Su is suspended from his post, my husband won't remain completely silent."

Jiangsu replied, "I went to find Brother Su, but my uncle wouldn't let me know anything about Brother Su. Uncle Bai Chen is handling Brother Su's case. I went to help Brother Su investigate a case from sixteen years ago."

Gu Nuannuan paused for a moment, then continued drinking her juice. "So, did you find anything?"

"No, Brother Su just gathered the documents today."

Gu Nuannuan finished her juice without realizing it. "So, are you going again tomorrow?"

"Ah."

After finishing her juice, Gu Nuannuan couldn't help but ask Jiangsu, "At noon today, did you deliberately say that to let Momo hear it and see her reaction?"

Looking at the insightful Gu Nuannuan, Jiangsu suddenly wondered if she could read minds.

"You deserve to be scolded. Why did you suddenly suggest that Brother Su should marry someone else? Momo argued with you, but what does that prove? Don't you know her personality? When she gets impulsive, she'll say anything in a fit of anger."

Jiangsu: "You actually knew that I deliberately provoked her to see her reaction to Brother Su."

Gu Nuannuan: "If the stimulation succeeds, you'll have one more uncle-in-law. If the stimulation fails, you'll lose one more aunt. Momo and Brother Su have a close relationship, and it's not just us who have this idea; our wise old man Jiang actually has the same thought in mind."

Why doesn't our old man mention this to his daughter? It's because he knows her well and is afraid of upsetting Momo. Besides, Momo and Brother Su are still like siblings, not officially a couple, so our old man Jiang can't say anything about it.

You're so stubborn, even steel bars aren't as pure as you, you went straight for provoking your aunt. Did you get what you wanted in the end?

Jiangsu: "Sister Nuan, you're married, so tell me, is Sister Mo's situation normal or not?"

"I'm married and I've never experienced anything like this. Nobody can control matters of the heart. The ones who should really care aren't the two of us, but Grandpa Jiang and the Su family's uncles and aunts."

Once they agree, marriage isn't illegal, and they're not blood siblings. Momo and Aunt Su went from mother and daughter to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, their relationship becoming even closer than that of mother and daughter.

After Gu Nuannuan finished speaking, she paused for a moment and then said, "But Xiao Su, aren't you going to be in frequent contact with Brother Su these days? I think you could try to subtly find out what Brother Su thinks of Momo."

I always felt that, well, Momo was an idiot, and the one who really controlled the situation was Brother Su.” After saying that, Gu Nuannuan raised an eyebrow at Jiangsu.

Jiangsu squinted, "You mean... Brother Su has been manipulating Sister Mo all along?" Gu Nuannuan put her hand under her nose, her black gem-like eyes gleaming with intelligence, "I know Momo, she can't outsmart Brother Su."

Jiangsu thought about it carefully. His aunt had read a lot of novels, but when it came to matters of the heart, she was truly a blank slate.

"I'll ask Brother Su another day."

Gu Nuannuan added, "There's something else I need to remind you of. Do you still remember the Wei family father and son?"

When we first went to their house to beat them up, your grandfather said that Momo had been dead for a long time. My dad held a very secretive funeral for Momo, not even informing close relatives. At that time, they had absolutely no contact with our family. Everyone knew Momo was missing, so how could they know Momo was no longer alive? I find that very suspicious!

I mentioned this to your uncle before, but he always treats me like a child. He thinks everything I say is just childish banter and doesn't take it seriously at all. You're someone who experienced this firsthand, so you should know about the Wei family's situation. I'm not joking.

Whether they genuinely knew or stumbled upon the information by accident, I think you should investigate further. Don't overlook any questions; the answer might just be right in front of you.

Jiangsu glanced at the pregnant woman beside her and said with a sigh, "Sister Nuan, if you used that intelligence of yours in your daily interactions with my uncle, he would never treat you like a child."

Gu Nuannuan immediately shook her head in refusal, giving a slight look. "That won't do. Your uncle is my husband. In front of him, I'll just be his sweet and gentle wife, and leave all the brain work to him."

It was getting late, and Jiangsu stood up. "You've been sitting long enough, let's go back and rest."

Gu Nuannuan glanced at the time. "It's almost eight o'clock. I need to video chat with your uncle."

After they finished speaking, they both stood up. Jiangsu, used to being the younger brother, took the juice glass that Gu Nuannuan had finished drinking from.

This surprised Gu Nuannuan, who was about to deliver the cup. She joked, "Xiao Su, your girlfriend is going to be very lucky in the future."

A man from Jiangsu joked, "I'll find a woman to serve me exclusively in the future."

Gu Nuannuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, your aunt, your cousin, and your mother won't let your dream come true."

Gu Nuannuan had just returned to her bedroom when Jiang Chenyu's video call came in.

Nuan'er's expression immediately changed when she saw her husband's camera.

Just moments ago, Nuan Jie was perfectly intelligent and clear-headed, but now she's instantly transformed into President Jiang's sweet and affectionate wife, calling out to him in a cloying voice, "Honey, is there anyone with you?"

President Jiang chuckled softly, "I'm all alone in the hotel."

Jiang Chenyu, ever the warm-hearted one, said, "Turn the camera around so I can see if anyone is hiding in the house." He indulgently agreed, turning the camera around and scanning the house, showing her the living room, bedroom, bathroom, shower room, gym, and dining room.

Someone rubbed their stomach with a sour feeling and said, "President Jiang went out to enjoy a luxurious presidential suite, leaving his wife and child at home to eat coarse food."

"Stop pretending. Come here, honey, ask my darling what 'good deeds' she did out today?"

Gu Nuannuan pouted, "I didn't do anything, I just ate."

Do you think your husband is stupid?

Gu Nuannuan looked at her husband, feeling a pang of longing. She said, "Honey, when are you coming back? I miss you."

A soft, tender word of longing struck a chord with Jiang Chenyu's heart.

The image on the screen represents his beloved little sweetheart; if he says he doesn't miss her, that would be a lie.

“My husband will go back after signing the contract; he won’t stay here for too long.”

Jiang Chenyu coaxed her.

Gu Nuannuan nodded. "Actually, today we were discussing who was targeting Brother Su, and the conclusion was that it was either Brother Su's competitors or the people behind him."

Jiang Chenyu was surprised. His little Ruan was always at home and at school, never watched the news or paid attention to current affairs. How could she have thought of this?

He guessed it when he called Su Linyan this morning.

His wife knew about it at the same time as him, and they guessed the same thing in a short period of time.

"Xiao Nuan, why did you guess that?"

Gu Nuannuan made no secret of the truth to her husband, saying, "The most fundamental victim in this matter is Brother Su, but that person is anonymous, and we can't figure out who it is."

"Whenever you can't figure something out, just start from the perspective of self-interest, and everything will become clear." Jiang Chenyu looked at her, not wanting to interrupt his wife, and waited for Xiao Nuan to continue.

Gu Nuannuan frowned, "If nothing unexpected happens, Brother Su will be promoted this time, which means he will have more power. Economic investigation is different from criminal investigation. Economic investigation deals with business tycoons. If the incorruptible Brother Su is made the branch captain, many people's interests will definitely be threatened."
