1202 Finding The Real Xia Yunlou
Longwan Residential.
Qiao Xi lazily lay on the sofa in the study while scrolling through her phone. Gu Zheng had just taken a shower and walked out. He was wearing a loose white bathrobe, and his wet hair hung low, making him look even gentler.
He bent down slightly and smiled gently. “Xi Xi, what are you looking at?”
Qiao Xi had just received a message from Madam Ye and had just read the first few sentences when she heard Gu Zheng’s voice coming from above. She subconsciously locked her screen.
Gu Zheng glanced at the phone screen and sneered. “Why are you hiding it? I didn’t say I wanted to see it. But you seem to be very concerned about Xia Yunlou and Xia Mengyan’s recent situation?”
Qiao Xi hurriedly hid her phone behind her back and smiled awkwardly.
Gu Zheng revealed a triumphant smile. Only then did Qiao Xi realize that when Gu Zheng leaned over, she had already locked the screen. Moreover, the words on the screen were so small that Gu Zheng definitely did not see them clearly. He said that just now to trick her!
Qiao Xi: “…”
What a scheming man! Xia Mengyan’s methods were nothing against his!
Qiao Xi didn’t care if he knew or not. She pretended to be confused. “Xia Yunlou? That’s right! Counting the days, they should be out soon!”
Gu Zheng reached out and gently pinched her chin, forcing her to look up. There was a smile on his lips as he raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of teasing in his eyes. “What are you pretending for?”
The expression on Qiao Xi’s face suddenly stiffened.
She was stunned for a few seconds before quickly adjusting her emotions. She pushed his hand away and said casually, “I’m already prepared to sue them. Of course, I have to pay attention. Is there a problem?”
“No problem at all. Mrs. Gu, what’s your next plan?” Gu Zheng asked softly.
Qiao Xi suddenly stood up and retorted with a serious expression, “Ah Zheng, what do you mean? Do you think I want to scheme against them?”
Gu Zheng looked at her meaningfully and sneered. “Mrs. Gu, don’t be so nervous. It makes you look guilty!”
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched slightly. As expected, she could not hide anything from Gu Zheng. She seemed to be unable to keep secrets in front of Gu Zheng!
Gu Zheng sat beside her and pulled her into his arms. He gently pinched her little face. “Mrs. Gu, we’re husband and wife. In front of me, you can be more casual. There’s no need to hide anything. Besides, even if you pretend to not know anything, I can still tell.”
Qiao Xi glared at him playfully and could only answer truthfully, “I want to investigate Xia Yunlou’s identity. I have to unlock this secret.”
Gu Zheng’s eyes flashed as he looked at her deeply. He said in a low voice, “Didn’t you already try it last time? Even under hypnosis, she still thinks she’s Xia Yunlou.”
This was indeed the case, but Qiao Xi had a feeling that the person in front of her was not the real Xia Yunlou. She did not know why, so she wanted to investigate.
She had thought about it carefully. Since she did not find out anything even after hypnotizing Xia Yunlou, she would find an opportunity to hypnotize the rest of the Xia family. She would try it with everyone. Perhaps there would be clues.
“Actually, you’ve already confirmed that she’s not the real Xia Yunlou, so it’s meaningless to probe further. What you lack now is evidence,” Gu Zheng said slowly.
“I can’t be sure that I’m right. After all, it’s just my intuition.” Qiao Xi was a little helpless.
Gu Zheng looked at her gently. “Your intuition won’t be wrong. What we lack is a way to find evidence.”
“DNA test?” Qiao Xi raised her eyes.
Gu Zheng shook his head. “All these years, the Yin family has been suspecting her identity and have secretly done a test, but they didn’t find anything. This means that Xia Yunlou has a way to deal with it. Moreover, it’s very easy for the Xia family to fake a DNA test. Even if we get a test report, they’ll still think that we faked it and deny it.”
When he was labeled as the illegitimate son of the Gu family, he had thought of this method, but it didn’t work at all. The Xia family was even more shameless than the Gu family. With just a guess, Gu Zheng knew they would definitely not admit that there was something wrong with Xia Yunlou’s identity and would even bite back at Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi nodded. She was sure that the person in front of her was not the real Xia Yunlou. The Yin family thought so too. How could an obedient and sensible child become surly and heartless overnight? She definitely would not snatch away her sister’s fiancé after she reached adulthood!
Xia Yunlou was shrewish and sharp. She did not resemble that kind child in the past at all. Instead, she was exactly the same as Old Madam Xia. They could all tell that there was something wrong, but there was no evidence to prove that she was not Xia Yunlou.
In order to find the real Xia Yunlou, Qiao Xi had to make a detailed plan.
