"Beicheng, it’s my fault." Yu Wanqing grasped the Old Madam’s hand, looking anxiously at Gu Beicheng.

"I thought it wasn’t a big deal and shouldn’t have scared Nian Nian. It’s all my fault, please don’t be angry, and mom shouldn’t get upset either."

Her hand was shaking, and apart from the Old Madam feeling it, even Xia Yinian saw it.

Could this woman be any more despicable? Grandma has helped her so much, and she not only used Grandma’s trust in her, but also took advantage of Grandma’s illness?

If it weren’t for Grandma, Xia Yinian wouldn’t have been so tolerant.

From last night to today, Yu Wanqing had been gambling, but if she didn’t, she would have nothing left and could only take a risk.

"Purity may not matter to Lady Qing, so she thinks it’s a small issue, but Nian Nian is different." Gu Beicheng sneered coldly.

"No! How could that be? Beicheng, you know I care about my purity; I still keep my first time until now..."

"Mom, did you hear that?" Gu Beicheng interrupted coldly before Yu Wanqing finished her words.

"If you saw with your own eyes how Nian Nian, who considers you above everything, was last night with her clothes torn, would you still admit that this was something you arranged?"

"If Ling Qian and I were a bit later last night, perhaps mom would never see Nian Nian again."

Gu Beicheng stood up, his expression unchanged.

"Mom, I don’t want you to be angry. I promised Nian Nian just now, I’ll take her to school first, so take your time eating."

Looking back at Xia Yinian, Gu Beicheng picked up his phone on the table and stepped out.

Xia Yinian took a while to react from the shock, for herself, her Uncle spoke to Grandma like that.

He said things she dared not say and even ruthlessly exposed Yu Wanqing’s scheme.

Xia Yinian felt a lot better, and her grievances just now were forgotten, but she worried if Grandma could handle it.

"Grandma, I’m... heading to school now." Xia Yinian bit her lip and stood up.

At that moment, Gu Beicheng, walking ahead, added another sentence.

"Mom may not believe me, but you should believe Ling Qian. If you want to know the truth, you can ask Ling Qian directly."

"Nian Nian, let’s go; we’ll be late."

Xia Yinian blinked her lips, pressed them softly, and turned around to follow in Gu Beicheng’s footsteps.

Uncle is indeed very handsome, but why doesn’t he consider Grandma’s situation?

If she gets agitated and falls ill, what would be the point of Uncle bowing to marry Yu Wanqing?

Moreover, Xia Yinian never wanted her Uncle to be at odds with the family because of her, especially when it involves Grandma, she is a thousand times unwilling.

She trusted Yu Wanqing so much, but when she finally finds out she’s being deceived, wouldn’t she be upset? Or would she still choose to trust Yu Wanqing?

Xia Yinian didn’t know the outcome because she had already followed Gu Beicheng out of the hall.

"Uncle, I haven’t brought my phone and bag." She held back the pain on the soles of her feet and ran over.

"Chi He brought them for you, let’s go."

When Gu Beicheng turned back, Xia Yinian almost bumped into him.

Luckily, she stopped herself in time, or else throwing herself at him wouldn’t look good in front of others.

Grandma’s condition inside was unclear; Xia Yinian really didn’t want her to fall ill from anger. It wouldn’t look good for others to see, and she was still Brother Ling Qian’s fiancée.

When Gu Beicheng tried to help Xia Yinian, she dexterously evaded his touch.

"Uncle, are we leaving Grandma like this, won’t there be any problem?"
