The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife

Su Chen was stunned for a moment. He stared at Mu Yuchen as he recalled his conversation with Zhou Zimo last night. Then, he patted Mu Yuchen’s shoulder again. “Alright, I can somewhat guess what happened. It’s been some time since you started investigating Lingshi’s background. I don’t see you doing anything else ever since you returned from City B the last time, so I’m sure you’ve found something.”

Mu Yuchen did not deny it. He replied, “Zimo should’ve told you about this.”

Su Chen nodded as his tone became lower. “I couldn’t believe it when I listened to Zimo’s analysis, but I suppose it’s not far from the truth now that I’ve spoken to you. Gu Qiwu should be the person Lingshi and we have been looking for!”

“I sensed that something wasn’t right when all the evidence pointed towards Qi Qiming. If it really was Qi Qiming, he wouldn’t have that kind of relationship with Lu Xinlan. Moreover, Qi Qiming was in contact with Lu Xinlan before she met my aunt. Do you think Lu Xinlan would have allowed my aunt to have a romantic relationship with Qi Qiming?” Mu Yuchen looked at Su Chen as he spoke calmly.

“That’s impossible. I do remember Sis Lan being on very good terms with Aunt Mu Zi, but when romance is involved, friendship can get pretty fragile there.”

“That’s why I didn’t think Qi Qiming was that person, but I still did a DNA test just to make sure, and the results confirmed my guess.”

“Lu Xinlan probably knew something, but she didn’t want to spill it even right before her death. I’m not sure what she was trying to do.” Su Chen’s eyes were filled with doubt as he spoke.

Mu Yuchen glanced over at the blood-stained area on his collar before he closed his eyes. “She knew. Actually, she’s just trying to protect my aunt. I can understand what she felt. Maybe she felt responsible for my aunt’s unfortunate end and her neglect towards Lingtian and Lingshi.”

Su Chen found it a little hard to breathe all of a sudden. He calmed down before looking at Mu Yuchen firmly. “How are you going to tell Lingshi this? Does she know? I don’t think she can take it if she finds out!”

He could not imagine how huge of an impact this would be on her if this news made it out to the public! Suddenly, he understood why they could not find the person after so many years of investigation.

Mu Yuchen did not reply as his expression darkened.

“But if it’s really him, why didn’t he reunite with Lingtian and Lingshi? Hasn’t he always had a strained relationship with your family? How did he get together with Aunt Mu Zi?” Su Chen still found it unbelievable.

Mu Yuchen opened his eyes slowly as a faint light flashed in his eyes, yet he did not answer.

Su Chen stopped the conversation when he noticed that his expression seemed unwell. He handed the pack of cigarettes over, but Mu Yuchen declined it this time.

“What have you planned to get yourself out of this mess? I’m sure you have a plan since you’re so calm under such circumstances. Glory World’s shares are already affected. All the media are reporting about this, and Xi Xiaye is facing enormous pressure.”

Mu Yuchen did not reply to Su Chen’s question. He asked one instead, “How’s Wang Qin?”

Su Chen’s expression darkened, and he paused before replying, “She didn’t make it.”

Mu Yuchen’s expression clouded as well. He looked downwards at the blood on his collar, not showing any emotions in particular, but Su Chen could feel a chilly aura emanating from him.

“Gu Lingsha’s injury is minor. It was just a scratch on her arm. As for Wang Qin, if there’s no evidence that can clear you of suspicion, you’ll definitely be in trouble. Don’t tell me you’re really going to stay here.” Su Chen glanced at Mu Yuchen in concern.

“Give it some time. I have a favor to ask from you,” Mu Yuchen said quietly.

“Tell me.”

Mu Yuchen looked at Su Chen for a while before he closed in. He whispered into Su Chen’s ear, his expression going strained and then relaxing. Su Chen gave Mu Yuchen a complicated glance as he asked, “Are you sure?”

“Not really, but from my understanding, he’ll probably do that. I’m not his only target. I’ve had people investigate his background. He got together with my aunt after he was married to Doris, and in that span of a few years, my aunt gave birth to Lingtian and Lingshi. It’s already a fact that they are actual siblings. Do you think a man would find another woman if he truly loves his wife?” Mu Yuchen’s tone was cold while his expression was still calm.

“So, you mean Gu Qiwu and Doris’s lovey-dovey act is all fake?” Su Chen looked at Mu Yuchen in disbelief as he went over this newfound knowledge. “That’s impossible, right? That reasoning feels too weak. Everyone in City B knows Gu Qiwu loves Doris. He could give up everything for her. He even offered 30% of Hui Gu Corporation’s shares as a gift in order to show his sincerity in marrying her. It was huge news back then. Their wedding was extremely extravagant as well. It was one-of-a-kind! I attended dinners with them when I went abroad to work in City B before. That kind of bond between them can’t possibly be faked.”

But Lingshi…

How could that be explained?
