The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1173: Rumors Rise Again

”If only I could go see it with my own eyes, I’m really too curious. I wonder what she looks like now.” Shen Siwen said with some regret.

The Xianwu Mountain Villa today is indeed not a place she can enter as she pleases. She doesn’t even have the courage to approach the entrance of the Immortal Mist Mountain Villa District. Zhu Lie had warned them before; if they got close, they couldn’t blame him for being rude.

”What could she look like? That Su Changfeng is often not home, I bet Han Xue is fooling around outside. Who knows how many times she’s made Su Changfeng a cuckold!” Shen Donglin said maliciously.

Shen Siwen’s eyes suddenly lit up as if she had thought of something, and she eagerly said, ”How about we figure out a way to spread this story, let everyone in Jiang City know this bitch Han Xue’s true colors?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Donglin immediately sat up, and his eyes lit up too: ”That’s indeed a good idea, even if it’s fake, some people will believe it. But we must be careful, it wouldn’t be good if Zhu Lie found out.”

Xianwu Mountain Villa.

After a large group of doctors checked Han Xue’s condition, they didn’t give the results on the spot. This was pre-arranged by Shangguan Sichen, as he didn’t want Han Xue to know too much, fearing she would feel more mental pressure.

So, the group of doctors left the villa under the pretense of discussing the illness, and then Shangguan Sichen took them to the Golden City Hotel. Zhu Lie had booked the entire hotel, and had stationed people at each exit to prevent outsiders from entering, or any of the doctors from leaving secretly.

Others tried to gather information, but due to the hotel being tightly secured, they couldn’t get in.

However, a message, originating from God knows where, suddenly caused a stir in Jiang City.

”Hey, have you heard? Han Xue got sick from fooling around outside. Just look at how many doctors are coming and going from Xianwu Mountain Villa; it’s because of this.”

”Really? Who spread this news? Han Xue doesn’t seem like that.”

”What do you mean she doesn’t seem like that? Su Changfeng is never home. Can a woman hold back? I think this might not be false. Otherwise, why has the villa been so mysteriously inviting doctors? What kind of illness can’t be seen by others?”

”Exactly, if it’s an illness that can be revealed, would there be such secrecy about it?”

”...”

For a while, Jiang City was once again in an uproar due to the peculiar happenings at Xianwu Mountain Villa. Many people knew that Su Changfeng had been cuckolded and felt inexplicably delighted.

Although Su Changfeng could make waves in Jiang City, so what? He still couldn’t satisfy his own wife, who turned to find other men and contracted such a disease.

The public loves a spectacle, especially such juicy gossip, which became a source of laughter around dinner tables. Han Xue’s matter was spreading wildly.

Gu Qingwen and his father, Gu Changsheng, sat on the sofa. Gu Qingwen looked at his father curiously and asked, ”Dad, have you heard about Han Xue? It’s causing a big stir lately.”

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but frown. Of course, he had heard about it, but he didn’t know who was spreading such rumors. Wasn’t this deliberately tarnishing Han Xue’s reputation?

Gu Changsheng was quite familiar with Han Xue’s character. Moreover, Gu Qing’er often visited the Mountain Villa. After Su Changfeng left, Han Xue stayed home all day with the child, hardly ever leaving. How could she have done anything disloyal to Su Changfeng?

As for Han Xue’s condition, Gu Qing’er had also informed him that it wasn’t a disease contracted from fooling around with men.

”Where did this news come from?” Gu Changsheng asked with an unpleasant expression.

Gu Qingwen shook his head. The rumor had almost spread throughout Jiang City, making it difficult to trace its origin. Naturally, Gu Qingwen didn’t have the guts to meddle in it.

”I’m not sure, but the issue has already been widely spread in Jiang City, and many people have even believed it.” Gu Qingwen said.

”If that’s the case, Zhu Lie must have heard about it too. Given his personality, he wouldn’t let the perpetrator off lightly. I’m curious, who would dare provoke the Shen family now? Isn’t this looking for trouble?” Gu Changsheng’s tone carried a hint of disdain.

As they spoke, Gu Qing’er returned. Father and son both tacitly avoided the previous topic, knowing that if this little girl found out, she’d definitely be upset.

”What were you talking about just now? Keep going, why did you stop talking as soon as I returned?” Gu Qing’er asked, looking at them suspiciously.

”Nothing much, Qing’er, how is Han Xue doing? What did the doctors say?” Gu Changsheng asked.

Gu Qing’er waved her hand in a defeated manner. Han Xue’s condition was worsening, and after the doctors consulted, they left without saying anything, so she wasn’t sure what the situation was now.

”I don’t know, they said they’d discuss it after the examination, and I’m not sure if there’s any solution.” Gu Qing’er finished speaking and collapsed onto the sofa.

Watching Han Xue’s condition deteriorate day by day without being able to do anything, Gu Qing’er felt very uncomfortable. She didn’t know how to comfort Han Xue. And seeing Niannian, the little girl, made her heart ache even more. If anything really happened to Han Xue, what would happen to Niannian?

”Don’t worry too much, things will definitely be resolved. The doctors they found are internationally renowned, they’ll find a way.” Gu Changsheng said.

”Grandpa, what were you talking about just now?” Gu Qing’er, always quick-witted, knew that her grandfather was deliberately changing the subject.

Seeing them obviously guilty, Gu Qing’er stood up and said, ”It seems like you’re really hiding something from me! What’s going on, tell me now!”

Gu Qingwen glanced at Gu Changsheng, feeling a bit helpless. This news was already well-known, even if they didn’t say it, Gu Qing’er would find out sooner or later anyway. So, he might as well tell her.

Gu Changsheng nodded, and Gu Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief, saying, ”Qing’er, let me make it clear, don’t get too upset when I tell you.”

”Dad, what’s the big deal? Do you really have to be so dramatic? I’m not the same Gu Qing’er as before. Where do you get such exaggerated reactions?” Gu Qing’er said.

”Alright, here’s the thing, recently there’s a rumor in Jiang City that Han Xue got sick from fooling around outside.” Gu Qingwen said awkwardly.

Just moments ago, Gu Qing’er, who acted as if she was the most composed and mature person in the world, nearly exploded upon hearing this.

”What? Who said that? Just watch me beat them up!” Gu Qing’er clenched her fists, furiously.
