Ji Mingyue had no possibility of winning against this fox. She could only patiently think of all kinds of ways to coax him until he felt better. Finally, she succeeded in soothing his ruffled feathers.
Gu Jinhang left contentedly. Only then did Ji Mingyue sigh with relief. But Ji Mingyue ground her teeth in rage when she thought about the person who was spreading these rumors behind her back.
It was true that she liked Mo Beihan when she was young. But that was so long ago! She had merely been secretly infatuated with him. She had not done anything out of line. When she knew that he was engaged to Gu Qingyao, she had immediately given up.
It happened so long ago that she had almost forgotten about it. Now that she was about to be engaged to Gu Jinhang, someone had dragged this incident out. Despicable! Utterly despicable!
“Brother! Oldest Brother…” Ji Mingyue stormed downstairs looking for her oldest brother.
Ji Mingzhe was playing with the children in the backyard. When he saw Ji Mingyue rushing out angrily, he asked, “What’s the matter? Has Jinhang left?”
“He has left!”
“Did he make things difficult for you?”
“How could he not! This incident has embarrassed him! Besides, it involves his brother-in-law, Mo Beihan.”
Ji Mingzhe frowned. “Did he bully you? How did he bully you? I’ll stand up for you.”
Ji Mingyue put her hands on her hips. “How can you do that? Jinhang is a gentle scholar. How can he beat you in a fight?”
Ji Mingzhe: “… “
“Besides, he was in the right! Oldest Brother, Jinhang is very good to me. Ever since I’ve been with him, he has given me whatever I want and let me do whatever I like. I’m so happy with him. Jinhang is such a good man; he’s in the right. The person in the wrong is that bastard who’s been making trouble behind my back. Help me investigate and find out who it is?”
Ji Mingzhe looked at his younger sister in despair.
This Gu Jinhang was a terror. Look at how he had charmed his younger sister?
He must find an opportunity to beat him up.
“Brother, what are you thinking? Are you thinking that you’ll cause trouble for Jinhang behind my back?”
Ji Mingzhe: “… “
He helplessly rolled his eyes. “As if I would dare! You’re protecting him. You’ll kill me if I touch a hair on his head.”
Ji Mingyue smiled. “I’m glad you realize that!”
Ji Mingzhe: “… “
It was true that girls changed their loyalties as they grew up!
Ji Mingzhe was quite capable, and he managed to trace the source of the rumors within a few days.
Ye Yihong!
Bai Youran’s former lackey.
Gu Jinhang had identified the person long ago, but he knew the Ji family was investigating. He heard that his wife was going to avenge herself, so he did not make a move. He was waiting to let his wife show her claws.
Ye Yihong had lived away from her family for a while in her past. When she was young, she and Ji Mingyue were acquaintances. She had stayed in Nancheng for a while, so she knew about Ji Mingyue’s affairs.
Bai Youran had once been a force to reckon with among the rich young girls in the capital. Ye Yihong had always been her lackey. Although Bai Youran bullied her, it gave her social standing.
But once Gu Qingyao appeared on the scene, everything changed.
Later, Bai Youran married Mo Yunhao and was banished with the rest of the family. Ye Yihong lost her standing in the capital.
Once Bai Youran left their social circle, those who could not stand Bai Youran, or who were jealous of her, or who wished to curry her favor but had not managed to, and those who had been bullied by her, now turned on Ye Yihong..
