Chapter 105: The Truth Comes to Light

However, very quickly, Wang Ma's expression returned to composure once again.

But compared to that calm of having victory in her grasp just a moment ago, there was a trace of regret as if she had encountered an unexpected situation.

These emotional changes were extremely fast; it was difficult for anyone to see them clearly.

Gu Wenyan did not even have the energy at this moment to pay attention to Wang Ma's reaction.

Hearing Gu Yeting say that he had actually prepared surveillance long ago, Gu Wenyan was also slightly surprised: "How could you have..."

"Since previous incidents have already occurred, there cannot be the same problems again."

Clearly, Gu Yeting was seriously trying to protect Gu Wenyan.

Knowing that the flowers and plants she had planted previously were damaged by someone, yet the culprit could not be found for a long time, and fearing that similar problems might arise, he had already taken corresponding actions when no one else knew.

Thereby protecting Gu Wenyan well at a critical moment.

Gu Wenyan's expression was slightly touched, but quickly, she said nonchalantly: "Let's check the surveillance first."

Gu Yeting had already sent people to pull out all the surveillance footage, inserted the USB drive into a laptop, and played it in front of everyone.

Because the time span was a bit long, they used fast-forward, and soon, everyone saw Gu Wenyan appear on the screen.

They also saw very clearly how Gu Wenyan ate the two pieces of Chinese-style dessert that Wang Ma had given her.

Gu Wenyan finally let out a sigh of relief, and the people around were also happy.

Gu Yechen nodded: "It really was a misunderstanding. Although I don't know exactly what happened, it wasn't Wen Yan."

"I said it, it was absolutely impossible for Wen Yan to do that!" Ye Yiwen was also very happy, "Alright, now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, there's no problem!"

Gu Wenyan's gaze swept toward Wang Ma and Gu Mianmian.

Gu Mianmian's complexion was not looking good at this moment.

"Just now, was it you who firmly believed that I was the one who threw away the dessert?"

Gu Mianmian muttered: "I'm sorry, sister..."

She understood the principle of being able to bend and stretch; although she had behaved a bit excessively just now, she was quickly prepared to apologize and change her previous attitude.

"Sister, I was also too anxious at the time. After all, Wang Ma's good intentions were trampled upon, and everyone was very unhappy... I was also very worried."

Gu Wenyan smiled without warmth: "Apology accepted, let's leave it at that. Don't do such things again in the future, otherwise, I will have to suspect that this kind of thing has something to do with you."

"Don't you agree?"

"... No, sister, it has nothing to do with me. I would never do such a thing!! Please don't misunderstand me, I can explain..."

Gu Wenyan chuckled: "Alright, I just said it was possible, I didn't say I was definitely suspecting you."

She curled her lips and thanked Gu Yeting sincerely.

Regardless of anything else, it was Gu Yeting who had cleared her name now.

Although no one knew when Gu Yeting had adjusted the positions of these cameras to ensure there were no blind spots in the living room and that it could capture the source of the problem.

But it was finally proven that Gu Wenyan did not throw away the two pieces of pastry Wang Ma gave her, and it also proved she was not lying.

Gu Yeting rarely had such a peaceful conversation with Gu Wenyan; he said in a low voice: "I just wanted you to know that my previous promise was not fake. I believe in you, and I will use my own methods to protect you."

"... Let's keep watching."

Gu Wenyan cast her gaze onto the computer screen: "We still haven't seen how those two pieces of pastry were thrown into the trash can. How it happened is still unclear."

She did not respond to what Gu Yeting said because she knew it was not the right time to respond, so this topic ended right there.

Who knew how long Gu Yeting's current protective behavior could last? Would his enthusiasm disappear soon?

And if similar things happened in the future, would Gu Yeting support her like he did today?

Gu Wenyan was not yet sure.

Gu Yeting sighed silently. Although he also felt very helpless, he had to take it one step at a time. Wanting Gu Wenyan to believe him so quickly and confirm that he was not lying...

... was not that easy.

He clicked play and soon saw the subsequent video.

In the surveillance video, Wang Ma placed a plate of new desserts on the table, and when she turned around...

Her sleeve accidentally brushed against the dessert plate, and a few pieces of dessert rolled out, sliding from the edge of the table into the trash can placed next to the table!

Because the desserts themselves were round... this accident was truly unexpected for everyone, and even a bit laughable.

"Alright, so this is the truth. Wang Ma, you must be careful in the future and not do similar things again, otherwise, it's not good if an innocent person is wronged by you."

Wang Ma explained: "Miss Gu... I didn't expect things to turn out like this, but I didn't wrong you either. I expressed that I believed in you."

Gu Wenyan retorted sharply: "Your so-called belief in me was because everyone believed in me, so you believed in me. If my brothers had all suspected that I did it, would you still have believed me?"

"I..."

"Wang Ma, I am not that naive. I know that in your eyes, I am not that important. To everyone, I am just a daughter who was brought back after growing up, and my status is different from Gu Mianmian's."

Gu Wenyan's gaze was sharp: "But I still hope that in the future, you can treat everyone equally and not do similar things again."

"I'm sorry! Miss Gu... it was my fault, I almost made everyone misunderstand, I apologize..."

As Wang Ma spoke, she stood up and even wanted to bow to Gu Wenyan.

But she was stopped by Gu Wenyan with quick reflexes: "No need, Wang Ma, there's no need to be this polite. I'm not saying it's your problem, just reminding you not to suspect others too easily in the future. Think about it first... whether it has anything to do with yourself."

"Don't you think?"

"... Yes, Miss Gu is right to lecture me, I understand."

"That's good."

"Alright, since the problem has been solved and clarified, the conflict between Wang Ma and me ends here. Everyone can rest assured, I won't keep it on my mind."

When Gu Wenyan and Wang Ma were confronting each other just now, everyone remained silent because they found it difficult to get involved.

Wang Ma was important, but Gu Wenyan was also an important part of this family... so for a moment, they didn't know how to face the situation between them.

However, it was a good thing that they didn't take sides; for Gu Wenyan, it gave her a certain amount of confidence.

In the future, when encountering similar situations, she would also know what she should do.

Wang Ma was also clearly aware that she was not someone to be easily bullied, and in the future, when facing her, one would have to weigh whether one had the ability to go against her.

"Nothing is the matter, I am going to the backyard."

Gu Wenyan had just finished speaking when several of her older brothers followed after her.
