Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!

Chapter 191: Chapter 191: This Shameless Old Fox!

In the living room.

Gu Moqian methodically took out disinfectant cotton swabs and alcohol from the medical kit.

Although he had temporarily cleaned Ji Wei’s wound with saliva earlier, it was far from the best method. Concerned about potential scarring, he needed to handle it carefully.

Ji Wei obediently extended her arm, watching the man attentively disinfect the wound on her arm. Warmth surged in her heart.

Beside them, Zhu Ming’an stood uneasily, his nerves on edge. Seeing Gu Moqian’s seriousness, he didn’t dare to speak first, even though the anxiety in his mind felt like ants scurrying in a hot pan. noveldrama

After Gu Moqian finally finished applying the medication and returned the medical supplies to the kit, Zhu Ming’an couldn’t hold back any longer and said, "Mr. Gu, last night’s incident wasn’t our Zhu Family’s idea. As you know, if it hadn’t been your mother’s instructions, we wouldn’t have dared to do such a thing."

Upon hearing Zhu Ming’an’s words, Ji Wei couldn’t help but silently sneer.

The truth was that Zhu Ming’an harbored ill intentions. Now that things had been exposed, he was desperately throwing the blame onto Nan Huiru. What a shameless old fox!

Gu Moqian acted as though he hadn’t heard a thing, carefully pulling down Ji Wei’s sleeve before gently holding her soft little hand, wrapping it securely in his grasp.

This indifferent response only deepened Zhu Ming’an’s discomfort.

He spoke up again, "To be honest, the entire matter boils down to love. We were just as shocked to realize that Jianian loves you to the point of no return. You grew up together, and in Jianian’s heart, she’s always seen you as her closest person. When she heard about your marriage, she lost her composure and impulsively made a mistake. Mr. Gu, could you forgive her this once, for the sake of the years of friendship between our families?"

If he wasn’t blaming Nan Huiru, he was shifting the blame onto Zhu Jianian. Was Zhu Ming’an being clever or foolish, thinking Gu Moqian would be so easily deceived?

Gu Moqian had already seen through everything last night. That’s why he decided to play along and cooperate in staging this act. Now that Zhu Ming’an was trying to clean things up, it was far too late.

"So, President Zhu, are you saying that last night’s events had nothing to do with you?" Gu Moqian finally turned his head to glance at Zhu Ming’an.

His expression was fiercely cold, exuding an intimidating aura.

Zhu Ming’an forced an awkward and ugly smile, "Jianian is my daughter. Of course, I wouldn’t want to see her unhappy every day. Last night, I tacitly approved of Jianian’s actions. Ultimately, it’s my failure as a father to properly guide her, and it led her to make mistakes. I deeply regret it."

Zhu Ming’an clutched his chest, putting on an expression of heartbreak and remorse.

Ji Wei felt thoroughly disgusted.

It was the first time she had witnessed such a malevolent and ruthless father.

"President Zhu seems to have missed one crucial point." Gu Moqian coldly fixed his gaze on him and spoke slowly.

Zhu Ming’an stared at him in bewilderment, "What does Mr. Gu mean by this?"

"Zhu Family’s stock price has been declining steadily for the past two weeks, resulting in losses of over ten billion. Am I right?" Gu Moqian’s icy gaze bore into Zhu Ming’an as he spoke.

Zhu Ming’an’s face turned pale in an instant. He stared at Gu Moqian, and a flash of realization lit up in his mind like a bolt of lightning. His eyes widened: "It was you!"

The Zhu Family’s stock price had always been stable, but just two weeks ago, it encountered an unprecedented crisis—stock prices plummeted, shareholders rapidly withdrew investments, and the Zhu Family’s holdings were on the brink of collapse!

He had sent people to investigate but couldn’t uncover even a trace of evidence. He thought perhaps it was an act of revenge from some business rival offended over the years.

But he never imagined that the matter could be connected to Gu Moqian!
