Chapter 90: Only One Way Left

Gu Wenyan saw Gu Mianmian and Gu Yeting return together and said nothing.

She did not hold high expectations, so at this moment, she merely looked away indifferently and continued to communicate with Gu Yefeng regarding the subsequent exhibition matters.

After going through so much, Gu Yefeng had become increasingly sincere toward Gu Wenyan, at least regarding her as his own younger sister.

In his heart, Gu Wenyan's status was perhaps no longer lower than Gu Mianmian's.

"You're back. There's nothing going on here today; would you like to go home first?"

It was rare for Gu Yefeng to say so much.

Gu Yeting shook his head: "I'll talk to... her first."

"I have nothing I want to talk to you about. If it's about those things, you can stop right now."

A rare look of embarrassment appeared on Gu Yeting's stern face, because Gu Wenyan had indeed seen through his thoughts.

He was once again intending to come and persuade Gu Wenyan.

Between Gu Wenyan and Gu Mianmian... it was becoming increasingly difficult for Gu Yeting to make a choice.

Gu Wenyan looked at Gu Mianmian, who was following behind him, and said in a flat tone: "Gu Mianmian, it's useless for you to seek help from Gu Yeting now. Those few people will honestly confess the information they know. If you think you can continue to deceive, then you are wrong."

"... Brother." Gu Mianmian sought help from Gu Yeting.

Gu Yeting gritted his teeth: "She will apologize to you. Can this matter end here for now?"

"No. I knew you were someone who is softer-hearted than anyone else. Gu Mianmian says a few words, and you think she is innocent and pitiful, even if she commits murder or arson, there must be a hidden reason."

"... Mianmian didn't do anything that serious."

"It wasn't much better either. She could go as far as to stir up such trouble today just to damage my reputation and affect the Second Brother's Art Museum. What else is there that she wouldn't do?"

After speaking, Gu Wenyan turned and left.

Gu Mianmian bit her lip and looked pitifully at Gu Yefeng: "Second Brother, it's not like that, it's not like that. Please listen to my explanation..."

However, Gu Yefeng merely glanced at her and left behind one sentence: "Think about it carefully yourself."

He then chased after the direction Gu Wenyan had gone.

Gu Mianmian's face turned pale; she saw a coldness in Gu Yefeng's eyes that she had never seen before.

It seemed he had also concluded that this matter was related to her and no longer believed her.

"What should I do? Brother... I... Second Brother has also started to dislike me! I don't know what else I can do!"

"This is the price you must pay. Do you think you can be easily forgiven every time you do something wrong without paying any price? If you are forgiven easily every time, you will never truly understand what you did wrong."

Gu Mianmian bit her lip hard. She had originally thought that this time, she could finally make Gu Wenyan suffer a great misfortune, but in the end, she was still exposed.

As for what she should do...

Gu Mianmian's heart was filled with ashes; there was no way out.

It seemed that no matter how she acted or what she did, in the end, Gu Wenyan still held the advantage.

Not to mention the Eldest Brother, he was always trying to balance things; what Gu Mianmian hated was his so-called fairness.

And from today on, the Second Brother... she could forget about winning his heart.

All that remained was Gu Yeting; she could only cling to him now...

At least for the next period of time, she could no longer recklessly target Gu Wenyan.

As Gu Mianmian thought, she suddenly remembered someone else.

If she still had any chance now, perhaps, she was her only chance...

Discussions on the internet regarding this exhibition became lively once again. When everyone confirmed that the Oil Painting *Kashmir Lover* was authentic, they were all very surprised.

They also focused their attention on Gu Wenyan.

"How can this Eldest Miss of the Gu Family be so capable? Why is it that she can always make such surprising moves so easily?"

"Isn't it said that Gu Wenyan has no culture and hasn't even read books?"

"Also, wasn't Gu Wenyan sent away by the Gu Family to grow up in the countryside when she was a child? How did she have the means to obtain *Kashmir Lover*?"

"Where did she get such a painting?"

Various discussions emerged one after another. Many people were confused, but some also offered what they considered to be guesses.

"Gu Wenyan and Bo Si Han are getting married, right? With him around, what painting can't she get?"

"I don't know what you are surprised about. Gu Wenyan is the future young mistress of the Bo Family, the wife of the Head of the Family of the Bo Family. The entire Bo Family is hers!"

"Some people don't still not believe that Gu Wenyan and Bo Si Han are getting married, do they? She is about to marry into the Bo Family soon. It really makes people envious..."

Gu Wenyan was actually not interested in these discussions, and she didn't care how everyone perceived her.

Even if they always insisted on linking her with Bo Si Han, she didn't mind.

Anyway, she didn't particularly want everyone to know the reason why she possessed these things.

However, as it happened, Bo Si Han was attending a business summit forum today.

As soon as the meeting ended, many media reporters surrounded him.

For a rare occasion, everyone's focus today was not on the Bo Group or Bo Si Han himself, but centered around Gu Wenyan, asking questions related to her.

Bo Si Han originally didn't want to answer, but he heard a reporter ask: "How do you view the news that the Eldest Miss of the Gu Family relies on you to possess so many privileges?"

Bo Si Han's cold, sharp eyes swept over the reporter who said this: "Who told you that Yan Yan can only possess those things by relying on me?"

"Isn't... isn't that the case?"

"Some time ago, she also intended to give me a very precious Oil Painting, a rare work that I could not obtain even if I spent money."

With this one light sentence, Bo Si Han debunked the current discussions and doubts.

Many netizens understood the meaning of these words; didn't it mean that Gu Wenyan didn't rely on him?

So where exactly did Gu Wenyan get these connections and resources? And she could give away these precious paintings so easily without feeling a pinch?

Gu Wenyan called Bo Si Han: "Why did you even reply to that reporter?"

"I didn't want to reply at first, but they were belittling you in their words. I don't want everyone to think that everything you possess is because of me."

Bo Si Han's tone was very calm, yet it stirred waves of warmth in the depths of Gu Wenyan's heart.

Even though he wanted to possess her so much, and he was obsessive toward her, he still would not wish for her to become entirely his appendage.

Instead, he wanted to prove to everyone that she was formidable, beyond imagination.

"You don't even know the reason yet, and you're already supporting me like this?"

Bo Si Han said, "Supporting one's own wife is only natural."

"Then... do you want to know the reason?"
