Jiang Kun was stunned. "Boss Shi, this appraisal center has a partnership with the Shiguang Group. How dare they do that when they know you are the one doing the appraisal?"

Shi Ye sneered, "The most uncertain factor in this world is human nature. Some people will do anything for certain things."

Jiang Kun still found it incredible, "But, it was Shu Yi who sent the young master to you four years ago. She has photos..."

Shi Ye: "Just go check it out if I tell you to! Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Jiang Kun didn't dare to say anything more and nodded vigorously.

Shi Ye instructed again: "Also, tell Uncle Xue to go to the Song family tomorrow to pick up Shu Yi and arrange a room for her in the servants' quarters."

Jiang Kun looked bewildered, but couldn't help asking, "Boss Shi, since you don't believe Shu Yi is the young master's biological mother and think there's something wrong with the paternity test, then... why did you bring her home to live?"

Shi Ye’s brows sank.

Jiang Kun said quickly: "I'll call Uncle Xue right now!"

Shi Ye twisted out the cigarette butt with force.

The reason why he didn't express his doubts about the paternity test to Shu Yi was just to make Shu Yi think that she had succeeded so that she would let down her guard.

Once a person starts to feel proud, it is easy for him to show his true colors.

When Gu Jinlan arrived at the Zhao family, everyone sitting in the living room, except Zhao Jinheng, stood up in surprise.

"Lanlan! Why are you here?!" Yun Luoxi rushed over and gave Gu Jinlan a big hug.

No matter what happened, Yun Luoxi would feel safe as long as Gu Jinlan was around.

"I... I'll go call my parents." Zhao Jinche was also a little excited and quickly turned around and ran upstairs.

Zhao Jingchuan followed Yun Luoxi to greet them, only Zhao Jinheng was still sitting on the sofa motionless.

Gu Jinlan glanced around, "Brother Zhao hasn't come back yet?"

Yun Luoxi shook his head.

Zhao Jingchuan asked: "Didn't Big Brother tell you anything else?"

Gu Jinlan: "No, he said he would contact me after he dealt with the matter. I asked him how he was going to deal with it, but he didn't tell me."

"Lanlan..." Zhao Zihua's voice came.

Gu Jinlan looked up and saw Zhao Jinche coming downstairs with the Zhao couple.

It had not been long since they last met, but the couple looked much more haggard, especially Yan Ziyin, whose eyes were red and swollen.

It can be seen how much of a blow Zhao Shiyun's incident has caused to this family.

There was a hint of joy in Yan Ziyin's weak voice: "Lanlan, come and sit down."

Although the atmosphere at home was not good at the moment, they were still happy to see Gu Jinlan coming.

Yun Luoxi took Gu Jinlan's arm, and they sat down on the sofa, but no one spoke and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Gu Jinlan was the first to speak and break the silence, "Where's Zhao Shiyun?"

Yun Luoxi said: "She is in the bedroom upstairs."

Gu Jinlan looked indifferent: "I want to talk to her, is that okay?"

Everyone was stunned, including Zhao Jinheng, and they all looked at Gu Jinlan, but no one responded.

After a moment, Zhao Zihua sighed deeply, "Lanlan, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you by what happened at home."

Gu Jinlan looked calm, "Now is not the time to talk about this. I want to talk to Zhao Shiyun."

Everyone fell silent again.

Gu Jinlan glanced at their faces, "Why? Are you afraid that I will hurt her?"

Zhao Zihua quickly explained, "No, Lanlan, you misunderstood."

Gu Jinlan said in a strong tone: "Then let me talk to her."

Zhao Jingchuan said, "There's no need for that. She could even do what she did last night. God knows what else she can do. Let's talk to you alone. I'm worried that she will hurt you."

"Don't worry, she can't hurt me." Gu Jinlan smiled and stood up, "Luo Xi, lead the way for me."

Yun Luoxi sat on the sofa in a daze, looking at the people from the Zhao family with a questioning look.

Zhao Zihua nodded slightly.

Yun Luoxi glanced at Zhao Jinheng again.

Before, the second brother was very protective of Zhao Shiyun, and he had always been the one most opposed to sending Zhao Shiyun abroad.

Seeing that Zhao Jinheng didn't react, Yun Luoxi stood up and led Gu Jinlan.

The two went upstairs.

Yun Luoxi asked in a low voice: "Lanlan, what do you want to talk about with Zhao Shiyun?"

Gu Jinlan said, "Just chat."

Arriving at the door of Zhao Shiyun's bedroom, Gu Jinlan asked Yun Luoxi to go downstairs first, as she wanted to talk to Zhao Shiyun alone.

Yun Luoxi knew that Gu Jinlan was good at fighting, so she was not worried that Zhao Shiyun would hurt Gu Jinlan.

After Yun Luoxi turned and left, Gu Jinlan raised his hand and knocked on the bedroom door.

"Zhao Shiyun, it's me, Gu Jinlan. I'm the only one outside the door. Let's talk."

After a while, Zhao Shiyun's voice came from inside, "Go away, I have nothing to talk to you about!"

Gu Jinlan said: "I know you are hostile to me, but I am here to save you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.

Zhao Shiyun appeared behind the door, staring at Gu Jinlan with a resentful look on his face, "You saved me? That's ridiculous. You're just here to laugh at me. Since there are only two of us, why do you have to act like a saint in front of me?"

Gu Jinlan sneered, "You also think you are a joke now? Not bad, you still have self-awareness, which means your brain is not completely broken, and there is still hope for recovery."

Zhao Shiyun frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Gu Jinlan was calm and composed. "Let me guess. Last night, you took advantage of Brother Zhao's drunkenness and stripped yourself naked and climbed onto his bed. He was drunk and unconscious at the time. Actually, nothing happened between you, right?"

Zhao Shiyun was stunned.

The second brother also suspected that she was the one who took the initiative last night, but he did not think like Gu Jinlan that she and the eldest brother did nothing.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Gu Jinlan's smiling eyes, and denied: "You are talking nonsense! How could I use my own innocence to wrongly accuse my elder brother! For more than 20 years, he has been my brother in my heart. How could I do such a thing!"

Gu Jinlan said coldly, "It seems that you also know how cruel it is to him to do this."

Zhao Shiyun's eyes flickered, "He was drunk, and I didn't want that!"

Gu Jinlan shook her head. "Zhao Shiyun, I don't want to meddle in other people's business. What will happen to you in the future has nothing to do with me, and I don't care."

"I am here to advise you out of consideration for Brother Zhao, and to show you a way forward."

"I know you did this to stay in the Zhao family, but the lie will be exposed one day. Even if you succeed today, when the lie is exposed in the future, have you ever thought about what will happen to you?"

"They originally just wanted to send you abroad to live for a while. In their hearts, they still love you. But if you don't stop this matter in time, you will completely lose their love for you, and in the end you will get nothing."

"If I were you, I would admit my mistake and clear Brother Zhao's name."

"As a person, you can't just focus on the immediate benefits. You don't understand this simple truth, right?"
