Chapter 12 : Asking for Something That Doesn't Belong to You

• Qin Ke had a determined look on her face as she turned to Qin Yanzheng, who was silent beside her. "Yanzheng, this matter affects you as well. It's better not to keep such a dirty woman by your side!"
• As soon as Qin Ke said this, everyone was stunned, including Gu Nian.
• Qin Ke was clearly asking Qin Yanzheng to kick her out and implying that she didn't deserve to stay in the Qin family!
• Even if Gu Nian had a good temper, she couldn't help but be provoked by Qin Ke's baseless accusations.
• "Elder sister, I didn't take your check. If you have evidence that it was me, then I have nothing to say."
• "Evidence? The money is already gone, so you can say whatever you want!" Qin Ke continued to pester relentlessly.
• Qin Madam shifted her gaze to Qin Yanzheng, hoping that he would step in and resolve the situation.
• No matter what, it was related to Gu Huan. As her husband, he should take action!
• "Yanzheng, say something! How can you keep a woman like Gu Huan by your side? This is..."
• Before Qin Ke could finish her sentence, Qin Yanzheng shot her a sharp look.
• Qin Ke and Qin Yanzheng had grown up together, and she knew his temperament too well.
• Although Qin Yanzheng didn't say anything, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that he was angry.
• Qin Yanzheng stood up first, his voice carrying an indisputable tone. "Check, does the Qin family have surveillance? Are you afraid that we won't find out?"
• With just one sentence, Qin Yanzheng directly shut down Qin Ke's argument!
• Gu Nian also froze upon hearing this.
• Wasn't Qin Yanzheng blaming her too?
• She thought that Qin Yanzheng would side with Qin Ke and humiliate her together...
• By not punishing Gu Huan, Qin Ke was dissatisfied, which made her resent Gu Huan even more!
• The feud between Qin Ke and Gu Huan had actually started long ago. Once, at an auction, they both set their sights on the same necklace, but in the end, Gu Huan won it! She even mocked Qin Ke!
• In Qin Ke's eyes, Gu Huan was no match for her. Who was she to humiliate her?
• Qin Yanzheng acted quickly. From the retrieved surveillance footage, it could be seen that Gu Huan did enter Qin Yanzheng's study, but she quickly came out. Instead, a suspicious figure appeared behind her.
• Qin Yanzheng found that person in the Qin family, and when that person saw the surveillance footage, they were too scared to say a word.
• Clearly, Qin Ke was not satisfied with this result.
• No matter how she looked at it, Gu Huan didn't seem like an innocent person. How could she have just entered the study to take a USB flash drive?
• After the suspicion was cleared, Gu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
• "Alright, since it wasn't Xiao Huan who took the money, let's end this matter here. Everyone, go back and sleep." Madam Qin spoke, and even though Qin Ke was unwilling, she had no choice but to leave angrily.
• As people dispersed, only Gu Nian and Qin Yanzheng were left.
• "About what happened just now... thank you." Gu Nian sincerely thanked Qin Yanzheng for not blindly believing Qin Ke's words and resolving the matter fairly.
• Qin Yanzheng looked Gu Nian up and down, his lips curling with a hint of mockery. "Thank me? Are you sure your brain isn't damaged?"
• He wasn't helping Gu Huan; he just thought it was unnecessary.
• When there was surveillance footage that could prove the truth, there was no need to argue.
• Gu Nian felt a lump in her throat and a blush crept up her face.
• "Regardless, I still want to thank you."
• "Gu Huan, just be a good 'young mistress' and don't try to ask for things that don't belong to you."
• After saying this, Qin Yanzheng left.
• Gu Nian watched his departing figure and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, shivering all over.
• Was Qin Yanzheng warning her?
• Things that didn't belong to her... Qin Yanzheng was right. The person she was supposed to marry was not herself, and she didn't even want this so-called position of Qin's young mistress.
