Wen Shan and Le Tian must have gotten involved by accident in the beginning. The mastermind behind this was targeting Ding Junqi. However, nobody could guess what their goal was.
Wen Shan could feel the tension rising in Nalan Chunbo’s body. She returned Nalan Chunbo’s hug and said, “I’m fine. I’ve been fine recently, haven’t I?” Since she had been finalizing her graduation thesis and preparing for her Ph.D. viva voca that would be held in June, she had remained at home.
However, Nalan Chunbo was still worried. “If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me immediately. We’ve never witnessed memory reconstruction before, but Le Tian’s condition isn’t very optimistic.”
Wen Shan was very pleased with Nalan Chunbo’s concern for her.
“Wait, hold on. You mean to say that I’m just collateral damage?” Wen Shan suddenly reacted and raised her head to look at Nalan Chunbo.
Nalan Chunbo, “…”
Her reaction came slower than expected.
However, Wen Shan did not care if she was slow to react. The problem now was that she was indeed collateral damage.
“As far as Le Tian’s concerned, she’s the mother of Ding Junqi’s child. So, you can’t really consider her collateral damage. What about me?”
“You are his cousin,” Nalan Chunbo replied without batting an eyelid.
Wen Shan, “…”
That made sense.
Wen Shan did not reply to Le Tian’s messages. Her phone nearly died as it got flooded with messages from Le Tian. She only thought of this after she was done being sweet with her Papa Nalan. She gave a small yelp and hurriedly snatched up her phone. Then, she looked at the messages that she received and slapped her forehead.
Shanzi: [Things aren’t looking good. Let’s meet up tomorrow. Come to school and find me. I’ll tell you about it.]
Born Optimist: [You’re making me uneasy.]
Shanzi: [Uneasy sounds about right. Your man is already in big trouble. Doesn’t he know that himself?]
Born Optimist: [My man?]
Born Optimist: [Watch your words.]
Shanzi: [Nevermind, we don’t need to meet up anymore. Gu Juexi wants us to go over to his place tomorrow.]
Wen Shan typed while reading the messages on Nalan Chunbo’s phone.
Born Optimist: [Why do I feel like I should really be scared now that Gu Juexi is involved?]
Who would not be afraid of Gu Juexi?
However, there was nothing they could do about it. This was clearly beyond their understanding.
Le Tian looked at the picture Wen Shan sent her to bid her goodnight and lowered her head to look at the sleeping Ding Yuejia. When Ding Junqi pushed open the door and entered, she looked up.
Ding Junqi was still holding onto his phone. “Wen Tao said that Gu Juexi wants us to go over to his place tomorrow.”
Le Tian had just found out about this, so the news was not surprising to her.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for everyone.
Therefore, the next morning, the crowd appeared in Gu Juexi’s office with dark circles under their eyes.
Mo Fei looked at the dark circles under her eldest brother and future sister-in-law’s eyes and clicked her tongue twice. She then looked at Nalan Chunbo and Wen Shan’s dark circles and clicked her tongue again.
Ye Yuwei and the pregnant Xiao Yaojing sat in a corner. Wen Tao did not want Xiao Yaojing to come but he relented and brought her along because he could not stop her anyway.
Gu Juexi told Nalan Chunbo to tell them what he had discovered as he was unwilling to speak.
Nalan Chunbo nodded and looked at Ding Junqi. “Mr. Ding, have you offended anyone in the past? Any prodigal intellectuals, maybe?”
Nalan Chunbo used ‘prodigal intellectuals’. This so-called ‘prodigal intellectuals’ referred to people like Gu Juexi, who were indisputably outstanding in certain fields.
Ding Junqi frowned as if he was really thinking about this question. Eventually, he shook his head.
