Chapter 48: Unmasking Her True Face!

"You just said you were eating with your family."

"That's right, aren't you my family too?" Gu Wenyan blinked, her expression uncharacteristically playful.

The terrifying chill in the depths of Bo Si Han's eyes finally receded completely.

His deep, fervent gaze locked tightly onto Gu Wenyan, and just as she felt the danger growing, he suddenly curled his lips: "Mm, I overlooked that."

It was he who had always assumed Gu Wenyan would still flee from his side, so he had always faced her potential actions with a resistant and cautious attitude.

But from some unknown moment, she had already completely abandoned the thought of running away, and she was also giving him enough sense of security in her own way...

To celebrate the success of today's Art Gallery Opening Ceremony, the Gu family had booked a restaurant long ago. Bo Si Han accompanied Gu Wenyan by her side.

With him there, even if Gu Yeting was extremely dissatisfied, he could only give face to this Head of the Family of the Bo Family and did not say those harsh words.

Although Gu Yechen's expression was serious, there was always an inadvertent gentleness when he spoke with Gu Wenyan; as for Gu Yefeng, even amidst his cold and noble demeanor, there was a peace that had never existed before.

The attitude of the two Gu brothers toward Gu Wenyan had changed completely.

Bo Si Han could also see that the relationship between Gu Wenyan and them was progressing.

This was a good thing, but at the same time...

This also caused the sense of crisis in his heart to grow uncontrollably; amidst the unknown possessiveness hidden in his heart, what he craved most was...

Gu Wenyan, who could only rely on him.

But he did not show it at all today, remaining considerate and doting, even though Bo Si Han appeared to be such a distant and indifferent person.

Yet once he looked at Gu Wenyan, a gentleness that was usually hard to see appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, the Gu parents were somewhat relieved; at least, with her married to him, it currently looked like she would not be bullied.

And the quietest person at the scene today was Gu Mianmian.

She kept her head down while eating, trying her best to minimize her presence.

Gu Mianmian did not know if Gu Wenyan had told others about these suspicions of her; she spent the dinner in fear and trepidation, never having been so panicked before.

At this moment, Bo Si Han had already sent people to tie up the two reporters.

His subordinates did not care at all what kind of power was behind the reporters, threatening them to tell the truth.

As for the scene, Gu Yechen had also sent people to check the surveillance; although there were some blind spots in the surveillance, by analyzing all the surveillance camera footage together, some abnormalities could be seen.

While eating, Gu Wenyan also glanced at Gu Mianmian's reaction from time to time.

She knew that Gu Mianmian must be very afraid, and she was happy to watch Gu Mianmian's panicked and fearful appearance, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Gu Wenyan felt it was unprecedentedly fun; how long had it been since she had such a happy moment?

The current Gu Mianmian was destined to have everything she did exposed; she would soon let the Gu family see Gu Mianmian's true face...

Bo Si Han returned to the hotel in the evening, and he did not interfere too much in the Gu family's internal affairs.

Besides, in this matter, Gu Wenyan's two brothers would help her.

Thinking of this, the man's eyes became increasingly bottomless, and there was even a turbid energy that was hard to dissipate gathering in his chest.

He knew this was an emotion that shouldn't appear; he had no need to be jealous of Gu Wenyan's two brothers.

Only when they were a little better to her should he feel happy for her.

But while feeling happy, Bo Si Han also hoped that all the love around Gu Wenyan would come from him alone.

The man's sharp brows were tightly knitted, relying on his strong willpower to suppress the roars of the beasts in his heart, locking them up firmly so they wouldn't break through the obstacles...

Gu Wenyan did not know about Bo Si Han's inner struggle at this time. Upon returning home, she called out to Gu Mianmian, who was quickly trying to escape back to her room: "Gu Mianmian, so eager to return to your room? No need to be in such a rush, right?"

"I have nothing left to say to you, sister. I'm sleepy now and want to go back to rest."

"Heh... you should have heard everything I said just now. Now that the truth hasn't come out yet, what's the rush?"

Gu Wenyan was unhurried: "At least let us analyze and discuss all the footage captured by the surveillance cameras and find the real culprit; that is the very important thing right now, isn't it?"

"Sister, the culprit will definitely be found, there's no need to rush at this moment. You being so anxious now might not necessarily be a good thing."

Gu Mianmian was still making her final sophistry, her stubborn appearance looking very ridiculous.

Gu Wenyan looked at the different expressions of her parents and the other three brothers standing nearby, and took out her phone in a leisurely manner.

She played the interrogation footage she had just obtained; the two reporters had already honestly confessed that everything today was related to Gu Mianmian.

"It was Gu Mianmian who paid us off!"

Moreover, it was a plan thought up on the spot at the scene, which was why it was so full of loopholes.

"... Sister! How would I know why they would implicate me? It really has nothing to do with me, I didn't do it!"

Ye Yiwen also couldn't help but say: "She definitely isn't that kind of child; there must be some misunderstanding in the middle."

Gu Wenyan shook her head: "Mom, I think it's better if you don't speak on this matter. You and Dad just watch from the side... Today, let me show you clearly how spectacular the other layer of skin hidden beneath her current surface is."

Gu Mianmian's eyes turned red in a flash: "No! Really no, sister, please don't be like this... I'm scared!"

She threw herself at Gu Yeting: "Third Brother, I'm so scared. I'm afraid you'll misunderstand me... I'm afraid you'll think I'm a bad child..."

Gu Yeting patted her back with heartache: "I believe you. There must be some misunderstanding; it couldn't have been you."

Gu Mianmian looked at her eldest and second brothers with teary eyes for help: "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, what about you? Do you believe me?"

Gu Yechen's brows were deeply furrowed, thinking about something, while Gu Yefeng's cold eyes also had a ripple of emotion.

After a long while, Gu Yechen asked: "Mianmian, are you sure this matter has nothing to do with you?"

"I'm sure! I'm very sure!"

Gu Yefeng nodded: "Since you say so, Mianmian, we will all believe you."

Gu Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief. See, the family still believed her; Gu Wenyan hadn't won yet!

However, when Gu Mianmian quietly looked toward Gu Wenyan, Gu Wenyan's calm and composed expression, along with the faint arc of a smile at the corner of her mouth, made Gu Mianmian's heart tighten for no reason.

She had an unprecedented bad premonition.
