Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

I stood there, stunned, my heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and I could barely breathe.

Gu Yichen's eyes were too cold, as if I were a stranger, no, more terrifying than a stranger, his eyes were full of disgust and suspicion.

I opened my mouth, but no sound came out; I could only shake my head helplessly.

Seeing this, Lin Jiaojiao laughed triumphantly: "Fu Yan, what else do you have to say? Gu Yichen admitted it himself, Gu Nian was killed by him!"

"Shut up!"

Gu Yichen suddenly turned his head, his sharp eyes shooting at Lin Jiaojiao, "When did I admit it? I will find out the truth about this document!" As he spoke, he snatched the document from my hand and carefully looked through it.

"Yichen, I believe in you."

I mustered my courage and took his hand. His hand was icy cold, but I didn't want to let go.

Gu Yichen didn't speak, but gave me a deep look before handing the document to his assistant behind him: "Go investigate. I need to know the source of this document. Also, find out exactly what Lin Jiaojiao's connection is to this matter!"

The assistant left to carry out the order, leaving only the three of us in the room. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Gu Yichen ignored Lin Jiaojiao and pulled me to sit on the sofa. His face was still gloomy, but his eyes had softened a lot.

"Yan Yan, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. I will not let Gu Nian die in vain, nor will I let you suffer any injustice."

"I believe you." I squeezed his hand again, feeling the warmth of his palm, and my heart gradually calmed down.

We decided to start with this document. Gu Yichen found a senior appraisal expert to carefully compare the document.

The results of the investigation came out quickly. The experts told us that the document was forged, and the signature and seal on it were fake.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Gu Nian didn't die, and Gu Yichen didn't harm her.

Gu Yichen's expression softened, and his eyes were full of apology as he looked at me: "Yan Yan, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

"It's okay, I know you're worried about Gu Nian too." I shook my head to show my understanding.

Now that we've confirmed the document is fake, the next step is to find out who forged it and what their purpose was.

As I looked at the forensic report, my doubts deepened. If the documents were fake, why would Lin Jiaojiao do such a thing? What benefit would she gain from framing Gu Yichen?

“Someone must be behind this!” I said with certainty. “This person is very likely the one who started it all.”

Gu Yichen nodded in agreement, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his deep eyes: "You're right, Lin Jiaojiao is just a pawn. We need to find out who's behind this!"

We decided to play along and spread false information, saying that we had already believed the contents of the document and were preparing to abandon the investigation. As expected, Lin Jiaojiao quickly took the bait. Overconfident, she began to lower her guard and gave herself away.

One day, I was playing with my child in the park when I overheard Lin Jiaojiao talking to a strange woman.

They spoke in low voices, but I still managed to make out keywords like "document," "Gu Yichen," and "plan."

My heart tightened, and I quickly and quietly led the little girl behind a big tree to observe them carefully.

The woman was tall and dressed very elegantly, but she wore large sunglasses that covered most of her face, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

"How's it going?" the woman asked, her voice low and hoarse.

"Don't worry, Aunt Du, everything is going according to plan. That stupid woman Fu Yan has already believed the contents of the document, and Gu Yichen has also begun to suspect her. They will be divorced soon!" Lin Jiaojiao's voice was full of smugness and flattery.

Aunt Du? A thought flashed through my mind. Could it be... Gu Yichen's stepmother, Du Yue?!

I couldn't believe it, but my intuition told me that this woman must be connected to Du Yue.

Just then, the little one tugged at my sleeve, pointed to an ice cream truck not far away, and said in a childish voice, "Mommy, I want to eat ice cream."

That's when I realized that the little girl was holding my phone and taking pictures of Lin Jiaojiao and that woman.

"Sweetie, you're amazing!" I exclaimed, picking up my adorable child and kissing him on the cheek. "You've done Mommy a huge favor!"

I gripped my phone tightly; this unexpected windfall gave me hope.

Du Yue, it turns out she was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes!

Gu Yichen once confided to me that Du Yue had always coveted the Gu Group and wanted her son, Gu Yichen, to replace Gu Yichen.

It seems that Lin Jiaojiao was just a pawn in her game, used to sow discord between me and Gu Yichen, so that she could eventually take over the Gu family business.

I immediately contacted Gu Yichen and told him about the photos I had taken and the conversation I had overheard.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yichen's face turned ashen, and his fists clenched tightly, clearly trying his best to control his anger.

"That wicked woman!" he said through gritted teeth. "I will never let her succeed!"

In order to find out the truth, we decided not to alert them and to secretly collect evidence of Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao's crimes.

At this moment, Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen also joined our ranks.

After learning everything, Lu Mingxuan said indignantly, "Ayan, don't worry, I will definitely help you get justice!"

Although Gu Yichen was in poor health, he was quick-witted. He calmly analyzed, "Brother, we can't confront them head-on. We have to find a way to make them slip up on their own."

We gathered together, carefully analyzed the situation, and formulated a meticulous plan.

A few days later, the Gu Group hosted a grand charity gala, inviting celebrities from all walks of life to attend.

Lin Jiaojiao, dressed in her finest attire, appeared before everyone with Gu Yichen's arm in hers, beaming with pride, as if she were the one who was Mrs. Gu.

I suppressed my anger and sat with Lu Mingxuan and the little one in a corner, waiting for the right moment.

Halfway through the banquet, I deliberately walked up to Lin Jiaojiao and pretended to bump into her, knocking over her wine glass and spilling wine all over her.

"Ah!" Lin Jiaojiao screamed, glaring at me angrily, "What are you doing?!"

I feigned innocence and apologized: "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to."

"You..." Lin Jiaojiao's face turned pale with anger, and she was about to explode when I spoke first, raising my voice and saying loudly, "Miss Lin, don't think I don't know what you've done! You forged documents and sowed discord between me and Gu Yichen. Do you think you can get away with all those dirty tricks?"

My words were like a bomb, causing an uproar in the banquet hall.

The guests were all talking about how Lin Jiaojiao's face went from white to green, then to red, as colorful as a palette.

She pointed at me, too angry to speak.

I took the opportunity to show everyone the recordings and photos on my phone. The evidence was conclusive, leaving her no room for excuses.

"This...this isn't real! It's Fu Yan, she's framing me!"

Lin Jiaojiao finally regained her voice, but it was only a weak and feeble explanation.

At this moment, Gu Yichen stepped forward. His cold gaze swept over Lin Jiaojiao, and he said, word by word, "Miss Lin, now that things have come to this, are you still going to continue lying? I advise you to take the initiative to confess and try to get leniency."

Gu Yichen's overwhelming aura shattered Lin Jiaojiao's psychological defenses. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, confessing to all her crimes.

It turns out that she had always been jealous of my relationship with Gu Yichen, so she colluded with Du Yue to try to sabotage us.

Du Yue didn't expect things to be exposed so quickly. She tried to argue, but Gu Yichen produced evidence of her embezzlement of public funds.

It turns out that Gu Yichen had long suspected her and was secretly collecting evidence of her crimes.

Ultimately, both Lin Jiaojiao and Du Yue were punished by law, and the Gu Group returned to its former tranquility.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief; this nightmare was finally over.

Having gone through all these ups and downs, my relationship with Gu Yichen has become even stronger.

We both know that we are the most important person in each other's lives.

"Mom, when can we go to the amusement park again?"

The cute baby's voice interrupted my thoughts.

I smiled and picked him up. "Okay, let's go tomorrow, alright?"

Gu Yichen walked over and gently put his arm around me and the little one. "From now on, I will protect you well and never let you get hurt again."

As the sun set, golden sunlight bathed our family of three, and our faces were filled with happy smiles.

I believe that we will be even happier in the future because we are a family and will never be separated.

However, I still felt a sense of unease.

Although Lin Jiaojiao and Du Yue received their due punishment, there seems to be a deeper secret hidden behind this conspiracy.

Perhaps this is just the calm before the storm, and bigger challenges are yet to come...
