Xia Yangyang took the food box.

“Thankyou, Shen Shichuan.”

Shen Shichuan found a spot on the single seater sofa nearby to sit down.

“Although I don’t know what happened between you and Ah Chen, I know that he’s also been having a hard time these days. I ran into his secretary today. Secretary Fang said that the entire Shengyuan Group is experiencing a turbulent phase right now. The leaders of all departments are on tenterhooks, fearing Ah Chen might use any topic during the meetings to push them to their breaking point.”

Hearing Gu Qichen’s name from Shen Shichuan’s lips, Xia Yangyang felt an unexplainable discomfort in her heart.

Shen Shichuan sighed: “Ah Chen has always been someone who keeps his emotions to himself. If he’s acting this way, it’s probably because he’s upset and has nowhere to vent. What exactly happened between you two?”

Actually, even Xia Yangyang didn’t really know what had happened.

These past few days, she had been waiting for an answer.

Gu Qichen said he would investigate the matter of the necklace.

But up till now, Gu Qichen hadn’t given her an answer.

Yangyang reasoned that there could only be two possibilities.

Either Gu Qichen still hadn’t figured things out, or he had discovered that Shen Manbingwas involved.

Or maybe he didn’t say anything just to protect Shen Manbing.

Suddenly, Yangyang spoke, “I want to ask you something.”

Shen Shichuan calmly responded, “Go ahead.”

“If someone helps you unconditionally when you’re wronged, but they don’t truly believe in you, would you be angry?”

Shen Shichuan replied, “If I was wronged, I would strive to prove my innocence. I wouldn’t allow anyone the chance not to believe in me.”

After hearing this, Xia Yangyang was slightly taken aback.

Shen Shichuan continued, “You’re talking about the necklace incident, right? Ah Chen told me about it. There’s something really strange about it. After that day, all the auction house staff, hosts, even the security manager, they all vanished. Plus, since Ah Chen publicly announced that he was the buyer of the jewel, he naturally couldn’t launch an open investigation or it would trigger bigger troubles.”

So Shen Shichuan knew all about it too. Xia Yangyang lowered her head.

Shen Shichuan was silent for a while: “I know you suspect Manbing. Yangyang, I’m not trying to defend my sister, but if she really did this, I’ll make her take responsibility. But Xiao Bing was brought up by me. Her current state is largely my fault. I’ve spoiled her so much that she thinks she’s above everyone else. But you don’t know what we’ve been through as kids. When you’re bullied to the limit, you put on a harsh facade to make the world afraid of you. She may appear arrogant, but she’s not a bad person. She may slap someone in the face, but she would never stab them in the back. Yangyang, if you trust me, please trust her this once. There must be more to this incident.”

A stir of emotions arose within Xia Yangyang.

She then replied, “I won’t rush to conclusions without evidence. Get some rest.”

Shen Shichuan was Shen Manbing’s brother after all. Hearing him talk like this, Xia Yangyang thought it was justifiable. She could even understand the desperate feelings of an elder brother.

But when she heard almost the same words from Gu Qichen, a fire of resentment brewed in her heart with no outlet to vent.

This was the reason why their relationship had been increasingly cold these days.

Xia Yangyang really didn’t know why.

That night, Xia Yangyang called Wen Xiaochu and blurted out everything that had happened.

After hearing everything, Wen Xiaochu calmly responded, “You’re obviously jealous. But Mr. Gu really didn’t handle things well in this situation. If I were in your shoes, I would be angry too.”
