Despite such guesses, Du Ruo decided to wait until the results of the investigation came out before telling the Xie family after hesitating considering the delicate relationship between that person and the Xie family.

After locking the direction, the speed of the investigation was also accelerated a lot, and the final answer was not as expected by Du Ruo.

It really is Xie Rui.

The last time in Xie's old house, after Mr. Xie spoke in front of everyone, even though the real estate in Xie Rui's hands had not been completely taken away, when he was in the company, he could clearly feel that he was are gradually being marginalized.

The people who feel this change most obviously, besides Xie Rui himself, are those professionals who are also in the company.Those who are well-informed, after discovering this change, have a subtle change in their attitude towards Xie Rui.As for Xie Rui, who was at the center of this invisible storm, the changes in the attitudes of the people around him also made him more and more sensitive and irritable during working hours, and he made many mistakes in the past few months.

Xie Rui found someone to follow Du Ruo. At first, he just wanted to find some excuses. After all, with many people watching, he didn't have any good chances to do what he did before.

But Du Ruo is a public figure after all, as long as he can capture something and spread it, there is a chance to form negative public opinion.Under such circumstances, even if it was just to add to Du Ruo's obstacles, it would be enough for Xie Rui to be excited.

Even so, Xie Rui never expected that the people he sent would be able to take a video of Du Ruo and Wen Qi kissing in private.

After a brief surprise, Xie Rui calmed down again.Although he was worried about Wen's family and Xie's family, Xie Rui was still reluctant to give up such good materials.

Xie Rui deliberately asked Xie Mengting to go to Xie's house when he was at home. After all kinds of inquiries, he deduced from Xie Mengting's reaction that he still didn't know the relationship between Du Ruo and Wen Qi.After returning home, Xie Rui thought for a long time, but still gritted his teeth and found what he thought was a "good time" to post this hard-won video.

On the one hand, this video is bound to bring some influence on Du Ruo's public opinion, and it may further cut off Du Ruo's acting career; He fell into Xie Rui's hands even more.

Du Ruo can more or less guess Xie Rui's thoughts.

When she got the final investigation results, Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, and the emotions in her heart were complicated and unspeakable.

Even at this point, Du Ruo still doesn't know exactly when Xie Rui started to develop such hatred for him.But in the current situation, it was already too much for him to retreat, and he was unwilling to take half a step back.

And on the night when the investigation results were obtained, Du Ruo received a call from Gu Wan.

"Xiao Ruo," the female voice on the opposite side was gentle and gentle, as if she could instantly soothe all the troubles in her heart, but there was some hesitation in her tone at this time, "Your father...has seen your news."

what news...

Du Ruo only hesitated for a second, the moment he realized what Gu Wan was referring to, his brain seemed to explode, his fingers holding the phone couldn't help curling up slightly, and the base of his ears turned crimson in an instant .

"Maybe this weekend, do you have time to come back? Take that person."

Du Ruo's ears were red, and he lowered his head little by little when he heard Gu Wan's words. At the end, he looked back at Wen Qi who happened to be on the phone who didn't know it, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "I want to go first." Ask him."

"and also……"

After Du Ruo subconsciously blurted out, she paused for a few seconds, and Gu Wan on the opposite side did not urge her. For a while, only the steady breathing of the two remained, quietly flowing through time.

"I have an investigation report, maybe... I want to send it over for you to have a look."

***

Du Ruo hasn't seen Xie Rui for a long time since the last conversation in Xie's old house.

When Xie Rui stepped into the gate of Xie's house, the smile on his face hadn't lifted yet, but when his eyes met the two who were sitting side by side on the sofa talking and laughing happily with Mr. Xie, the corners of his mouth froze instantly.

Seeing Xie Rui from a distance, the corner of Mr. Xie's mouth fell instantly, and his tone was flat, "Here we come."

Xie Rui responded. He approached the coffee table and saw the investigation report spread out on the table with a glance. Just a few glances made cold sweat break out on his back.

Mr. Xie gave Xie Rui a meaningful look, and tapped twice on the investigation report, "Look."

In just two words, Xie Rui fell into an ice cave.

With a pale face, Xie Rui forced the corners of his mouth to twitch, "Grandpa, what happened? I don't know what you're talking about."

He can't admit it!

Absolutely not!

Otherwise he's screwed!

These few words were repeated in Xie Rui's mind, and his palms were already covered with cold sweat.

"do not know?"

No one thought that Gu Wan would be the first to get mad.

She originally thought that when she saw the results of the last investigation, she already had no expectations for her adopted son.But she didn't expect that her act of wanting to save the last decency would attract his further greed.

The corner of Gu Wan's mouth sneered, she stood up from the sofa, her cold eyes pierced Xie Rui like two sharp knives.

"You said you didn't know? I don't know why I contacted your biological parents several years ago, but didn't mention it in front of us; Take action against Du Ruo; I don't know why you contacted Du Ruo's adoptive mother, your biological mother was on the show, pouring pots of dirty water on Du Ruo, trying to ruin his reputation..."

Gu Wan approached Xie Rui step by step, but Xie Rui had no choice but to back up step by step until there was no way to go back, and his heels had already touched the wall.

Gu Wan picked up the report on the table, sneered and fell on Xie Rui's face.

"Another small trick. You said you didn't know?"

Xie Rui raised his head in panic, and opened his mouth to argue for himself, but when he touched the cold and stern eyes of Mr. Xie, a bone-chilling chill shot down his spine.

In the falling report, Gu Wan's chest heaved violently due to anger, and the tenderness of the past could no longer be seen in the eyes staring at Xie Rui, only full of anger remained.

She raised her arm, pointed in the direction of the door, and squeezed out the last word between her teeth——

"roll!"

The rest of the people in the room were just sitting in their seats, watching this scene coldly, where Xie Rui's panicked eyes swept across, no one stood up to express their opposition.

Until he was kicked out of Xie's house, Xie Rui's eyes were still filled with bewilderment and unwillingness.

Before coming here, Xie Rui never thought that he would be kicked out of the house in such an embarrassing posture today.

The villa area where Xie's family is located is surrounded by families with similar backgrounds, and they are very well informed about each other.The commotion in the Xie family was so loud this time, that even Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie rushed over from the old house on purpose. On the surface, they each put on airs, but behind their backs, there were many people waiting to watch lively.

Xie Rui clenched his fists tightly with all the strength in his body. Even though all the households around him who heard the wind had closed the curtains, he still felt that there were countless eyes peeping at him in the dark, waiting to see his jokes.

All this is thanks to that person!

Since they have already left, why come back?

Why do we need to find out these things?

When such crazy thoughts popped up in his mind, Xie Rui never thought about what was the reason for all this in the first place.

"Duruo..."

Xie Rui gritted his teeth and said the name, raised his head and looked at Xie's family, his eyes were full of resentment and hatred, but suddenly met a bone-chilling cold gaze.

"How did you get to this point..."

Looking at the back of the man leaving in a hurry, Mr. Xie calmly withdrew his gaze, and heard Mrs. Xie's soft-hearted sigh.

"His temper is left."

Mr. Xie's tone was calm, the moment he lowered his head to sip his tea, it seemed that Xie Rui's gaze flashed before his eyes again.He paused, his eyes darkened, "Find a few people... to stare at Xie Rui."

Mrs. Xie looked up at him in surprise, but saw Mr. Xie frowning and looking out the window, the expression in his eyes was so complicated that people couldn't tell.

***

After Xie Rui left, Du Ruo helped Gu Wan sit back on the sofa.

Du Ruo held Gu Wan's arm with one arm, and patted her on the back lightly with the other. He gave Wen Qi a look, and Wen Qi immediately poured a cup of tea understandingly.

Panting for breath, Gu Wan's eyes were slightly red, she took the teacup from Du Ruo, took a few sips, sat for a while, and then slowly calmed down.

And Xie Mengting has been observing the interaction between them since just now, and noticed that even under their noses, Du Ruo and Wen Qi are still undisguisedly intimacy, and the tacit understanding that cannot be concealed. Unexpectedly, I couldn't say it for a while.

Gu Wan noticed the change in Xie Mengting's expression, realized that his attitude was loose, looked into his eyes, pursed the corners of her mouth, unable to hide her smile.

After dinner, Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie got up and prepared to go back to the old house.

The driver was already waiting at the door. When saying goodbye, Mrs. Xie suddenly hugged Du Ruo.Although Du Ruo was a little surprised, he still hugged Mrs. Xie back, and heard her whisper in his ear: "The old man, I will tell him. You and the Wen family boy, just talk to your father. Enough."

After seeing off Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie, Du Ruo turned his head and met Xie Mengting's eyes.

Xie Mengting said to Du Ruo in a deep voice, "Come with me."

After Du Ruo followed Xie Mengting into the study, Xie Mengting's first sentence was straight to the point.

"What's the relationship between you and Wen Qi now?"

"Lover." Du Ruo's eyes were full of magnanimity.

"Do his parents know about your relationship?"

"I am not sure."

Xie Mengting was silent for a moment, but the question he asked surprised Du Ruo: "Do you like him?"

Du Ruo's ears were red, but she still said frankly: "I like it."

Xie Mengting was able to see the expression in Du Ruo's eyes at a glance.

It was an undisguised, frank and sincere joy, with a little shyness, exactly what it looks like when you are in love.

Suddenly, it seemed that Xie Mengting recalled the time when he fell in love with Gu Wan when he was young.

People in love can't hide the frown.

Xie Mengting suddenly felt that there was no need to ask the questions he had prepared before. He just stared into Du Ruo's eyes and said seriously: "Then you and I promise that you will not let yourself be in this relationship. Hurt."

"of course."

After Du Ruo said these words, he saw the first smile he saw today on Xie Mengting's face.

"After you go down, call Wen Qi to come up."

The moment before Du Ruo stepped out of the study, she heard Xie Mengting's order.

Du Ruo's hand was still on the doorknob of the study room, his footsteps were slightly paused, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and it was the first time he willingly called out that title——

"OK……"

"dad."
