It would have been better if he didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Ji Shunuan became angry instantly.

She didn't expect Gu Zhiyuan to be so shameless and even wanted to use the meal he had given her as an excuse.

"What? Mr. Gu, do you still want to use the meal you gave me to morally blackmail me? I still have some doubts. My mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to me after she ate the meal your grandfather gave her."

"Do you think my mother's death is related to the meal you mentioned?" Ji Shunuan asked coldly.

In fact, she never thought about it.

But now, the people in the Gu family keep talking about the favor of a meal, regardless of whether her mother had really met Mr. Gu at that time.

If you really saw it, then is there something wrong with your mother's death?

"You!!! Ji Shunuan, how could you think of my grandfather like this? How could he do such a thing?" Gu Zhiyuan was stunned and a little anxious.

He wanted to revisit the past and rekindle the feelings between them.

But I didn't expect Ji Shunuan to be so extreme and directly want to frame my grandfather.

"You have been blackmailing me for so many years, haven't you done it? Doesn't that make me suspicious? I asked someone to check before. When my mother gave birth to me, your grandfather was not in Jincheng."

Ji Shunuan's words made Gu Zhiyuan feel a little embarrassed.

He called her calmly to talk to her, but she scolded him aggressively.

"Ji Shunuan, you are so suspicious! You can doubt anyone, but you can't doubt our Gu family. Grandpa and I are sincere to you, how can you bite back now?"

"You really disappoint me." Gu Zhiyuan was so angry that he hung up the phone.

Ji Shunuan stood there, holding the phone and slowly closed her almond-shaped eyes.

After a long time, she opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. After a while, she dialed Shen Chen's number. As soon as the call came, Shen Chen answered it immediately.

"After watching the video, I found that the location of your room is really good. You can actually see the sea view and the sunrise directly from the room." Shen Chen said with some surprise.

Many people go to the beach to take pictures, but Ji Shunuan lives directly next to the scenery.

"Sister Chen." Ji Shunuan called out with a heavy heart when she heard her cheerful voice.

When Shen Chen heard her tone, he immediately became nervous and asked in a low voice: "Nuannuan, what happened?"

"I asked you to check for me before, whether Mr. Gu was in Jincheng when my mother was about to give birth to me. The information you found showed that he was not there."

"But he dared to use the favor of a meal so openly as an excuse to smoothly arrange our marriage!"

"Over the years, after our marriage, the Gu family has indeed given the Ji family a lot of benefits."

Ji Shunuan spoke of these things in a soft but rational voice.

She was not a sensitive person, but the Gu family kept bringing up old things, which made her suspicious.

"Are you doubting whether this is true or false, or are you doubting whether this is a trap set by them?" Shen Chen grasped the key point of her words and asked in a low voice.

Ji Shunuan was silent for a long time.

"I suspect it's a setup. My mother had a difficult labor after giving birth to me, so we have no idea what happened. For someone like me who is not loved by my parents, there is no benefit in marrying into the Gu family."

"They could have chosen the favored Ji Wushuang, but the Gu family didn't do that!"

"Besides, the funds my mother left me are open and transparent! Given Ji Jianchong and Leng Chunhong's greed, they could have taken all of it, but they didn't."

"Except for this money, they can't touch it except me. Generally, inheritances will be calculated, but they can only return it to me."

"I used to think that my dad might have feelings for my mom, so he protected me, but now it seems that's not the case." Ji Shunuan said in a low voice.

She is not stupid. What happened recently is reminding her that the Ji family only treats her as a tool to make money.

"So you want me to check again to see if there is any problem with the cause of your mother's death?" Shen Chen was a little shocked, but he also knew that Ji Shunuan's suspicion was not unreasonable.

Nothing stands up to scrutiny.

"Yeah." Ji Shunuan replied in a low voice.

It's been 23 years since the incident and it's difficult to check.

"Don't worry, I'll start investigating soon. Before the results come out, you should take care of yourself first." Shen Chen said in a low voice.

Ji Shunuan moved his lips, thinking about what happened last night.

"By the way, don't let An An go out. I'm worried that the people in the An family will do something bad to her." Ji Shunuan reminded her again, fearing that An Linlin would be deceived and go out.

"Okay." Shen Chen said, and hung up the phone.

After Ji Shunuan finished the call, she felt much more relaxed.

When she opened the closet and saw it filled with clothes of various styles, she was stunned. She saw a card hanging on it and reached out to take it down.

“I hope Nuan Nuan likes it.”

Just six simple words, but they were so warm that it made her nose ache.

It was obviously prepared by the old lady for her, but she never mentioned anything.

Ji Shunuan picked out a pair of black high-waisted trousers and a loose white shirt. She tied her hair into a high ponytail behind her head and simply applied some sunscreen.

"Woof woof woof" The Tibetan Mastiff was lying outside. When he saw her coming down the stairs, he hurriedly followed her.

When the man and the dog went downstairs, Ji Shunuan saw the tall figure of Bo Jingcheng standing in the kitchen, washing fruits with his head down and turning the food in the pot.

"Do you need help?" Ji Shunuan walked forward quickly.

She stood outside the glass door and looked inside.

When Bo Jingcheng heard her voice, the man naturally handed over the washed strawberries and cherries and said, "No, take the fruit out and eat it with grandma first."

"Okay." Ji Shunuan took the fruit and carried it out.

I saw the old lady sitting at the door, staring blankly at the yard outside.

She put down the fruit plate, walked forward lightly, put her arm around the old lady's shoulders from behind, and whispered, "Grandma, are you hungry? Do you want to eat some fruit?"

The old lady was brought back to her senses by her words and reached out to gently pat the back of Ji Shunuan's hand.

"In the past, at this time of year every year, the old man liked to drive me to the suburbs for a picnic, saying that there were fewer people outside and he would feel more comfortable." The old lady whispered.

It's like being trapped in past memories.

Her vision became a little blurry, and she said in a very soft voice: "I had just turned 18 at that time, and I saw him at a field trip held at school."

"I don't know if it was fate, but we both got lost and met each other in the mountains. I thought he was a pervert who was following me and almost beat him up."

"After I hit him, he was not angry. He kept following me, saying that he was also lost and that he was lucky to meet me. He said that maybe he could get out by following me."

"He has nothing bad about him except his temper! He is tolerant and generous, likes to help others, and does things in a low-key manner. At that time, none of us knew that he was a rich young man." The old lady whispered.

Ji Shunuan hugged her quietly and listened to her talk about what happened in the past.

"Grandpa pursued you later?" Ji Shunuan asked in a low voice.
