Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 561: 561: Unconditionally trust her

”Old Gu... this...”

Qiu ZhenDa stared at his old comrade Gu Tiancheng for a long time, feeling even more troubled.

One must understand, this was not merely an issue between two children.

It also directly concerned the fundamental interests of the Qiu Family and the Gu Family.

If not handled properly, and if it displeased Gu Tiancheng, their relationship would become difficult to manage, and the interests of both families would suffer...

Gu Tiancheng, being a meticulous person, could certainly understand Qiu ZhenDa’s difficulties and concerns!

However, he clearly felt that Qiu ZhenDa’s worries were totally unnecessary!

Of course, this was not because the relationship between the two families was particularly strong.

Rather, it was because he trusted his daughter!

Even if Gu Tong was a bit mischievous, she would never do such an outrageous thing!

”Gu Tong! You explain!”

The words hit the ground, and Gu Tiancheng decided to personally conduct the inquiry.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, there could be no trace of favoritism.

As her father! As the Prince! This was the best solution.

The father’s emotions showed no fluctuation, and Gu Tong could sense it.

No matter what happened...

Her father would always unconditionally trust her, of that, Gu Tong was certain in her heart...

Beyond feeling touched, she did not know what else to say...

Gu Tong stood up, looking straight at the two elders who were also Princes, and said, ”I don’t know why I became the murderer! Nor do I know what happened!”

A calm and tranquil answer, enough to reveal everything.

However...

This sentence was enough to shock everyone present...

No one could believe that she would deny it in front of everyone...

Did they all think they were blind...

”You’re talking nonsense!” Yan Xiaolan angrily pointed at her and said, ”Before Qiu Xue fell, she called out your name! It was clearly you who deliberately tripped her, and now you vehemently deny it. I’m telling you, the facts speak louder than words, we all saw it!”

Saw it?

Then it’s easy!

”Oh, that’s what you’re talking about!”

Gu Tong slightly moved her red lips, glanced indifferently at Qiu Xue, and said, ”Just because she called out to me before she fell, it means I tripped her? Why couldn’t it be ’Sister Gu Tong, save me, Sister Gu Tong, give me a hand’? Keep in mind, we grew up together and have deep feelings, it’s only natural to think of me at a critical moment!”

The words of explanation spilled out effortlessly.

The entire venue fell into dead silence...

They had to admit that Gu Tong made a lot of sense.

Initially, they suspected Gu Tong solely because of the love triangle...

And forgot that they had grown up together since childhood...

”You, you’re talking nonsense...”

Yan Xiaolan didn’t expect Gu Tong to be so shameless, and said, ”You and Qiu Xue have long been at loggerheads, everyone knows your issues! Bringing up childhood feelings now is simply despicable!”

Better a strong enemy than a terrible ally.

This saying holds truth.

To bring up their discord in front of their elders? Truly a wrong decision!

If it were Sun Caixing, she certainly wouldn’t have acted this way.

Qiu Xue’s complexion slightly changed, clearly annoyed by Yan Xiaolan’s slip of the tongue.

She wanted to create trouble but didn’t intend to make it a bigger deal.

It was enough to vaguely cover it up, leaving room for speculation...

If everything was brought to light and fully explained, it would be extremely unfavorable for Qiu Xue and disrupt her plans.

”We’re at odds? How come I don’t know about this?” Gu Tong’s lips curled into a cold smile. She looked at Qiu Xue and said calmly, ”Qiu Xue, do you know about this matter?”

The most skillful approach has never been to solve the problem personally!

But to throw the problem back at the opponent―――

Qiu Xue’s response was crucial!
