"They said it was a Miss Yang."
Did the husband of the family get married to soone else? A bigamy?
Gu Nuan knew that was impossible, as the entire public security system was now interconnected nationwide. If he had committed bigamy, he would have been arrested by the police long ago. Moreover, not to ntion herself, Gu Nuan, would that wealthy, well-born young lady from a major family agree to a polygamous marriage?
He had even brought her back to the Xiao Family to be seen by many. How could that young lady not know?
One could only say that the timing of the spread of this rumor was indeed too coincidental, hitting right on the mark.
Catching a ride with Sister Yao, when Gu Nuan returned to her small apartnt, it was almost eight in the evening due to an unexpected delay.
There was nobody in the apartnt. She cooked so noodles for herself. After dinner, she washed the dishes, took a bath, then prepared to go to bed.
While doing all this, she couldn’t help but think to herself, "This big white dog, he actually isn’t at ho waiting to mooch off her al? She could have dined out with Sister Yao and then co ho, but thinking of the big white at ho, she reluctantly refused Sister Yao’s kindness.
Where did he go? Could it be to et the real young lady from the rumors, the wife?
Gu Nuan furrowed her brows, surprised at the wild conjectures she couldn’t help making. To calm herself down, she pulled out the Mickey backpack filled with compact discs and took out the important item that Fang Yongxing had entrusted her with for investigation.
Her laptop happened to be an older model that could accommodate CDs.
There was a whole backpack full of them. After counting, there were probably over a hundred CDs.
It was uncertain how long it would take to read them. One disc was inserted, and due to the length of ti, it read very slowly, sotis not at all.
After struggling to switch about ten CDs, one was barely readable by the drive.
Gu Nuan clicked on the folder stored on the CD through her computer. It contained reports, with packed data filling each small cell of the tables. She had to concentrate fully to do her research.
Ti passed, second by second, and the clock on the wall chid once.
One o’clock in the deep of the night.
He hadn’t co back.
Absent for two nights.
Gu Nuan suddenly realized that the bed he had moved from his house was truly too big. To sleep alone in it was incredibly lonely. It’s a wonder he could stand it.
Because she had to work the next day, Gu Nuan had no choice but to call it a night. She put everything away neatly. Since this was an apartnt he had rented, she assud the necessary safety asures were in place, so she didn’t need to worry too much about it.
Lying in bed, she pulled a thin blanket over herself, feeling a bit ager under its weight. She tugged at it. With so much happening today, she was already exhausted, and before long, she fell asleep.
The Ferrari stopped at the entrance of the apartnt building.
Xiao Yebai glanced at the small nest he shared with her upstairs, no lights on. At this hour, she should be asleep. Having lived with her for a while, he discovered she was a person of strict discipline in life, work, or any other matters.
She always knew the latest ti to go to bed, never staying up too late, no matter what.
Zhan Dapeng, who drove him, then heard the sigh he let out.
"Second brother?"
"I’m going back. You should head ho to sleep too," Xiao Yebai said, kicking open the car door.
Zhan Dapeng watched him, discerning that slight expression on his face, and offered a comforting suggestion, "Sister-in-law is soone who cares about others, perhaps she’s being considerate over the second brother being busy—"
The incident of her almost getting stabbed with a knife in the hospital, he received the wind of it within half an hour. But he waited and waited, unable to get a call from her.
