Chapter 193 - The Truth!!
Chapter 193 – The Truth!!
Seeing Xingren shamelessly avoiding his claims and acting as if she is innocent made Grandfather Gu even more disgusted. How can a girl whom he has seen growing into a fine lady can act so crudely and be dangerous?
He gritted his teeth and asked, " Is that so? Then…do you remember about the dating scandal in which Xu Nuan recently got into?"
Xingren pursed her lips and a frown appeared on her forehead when she heard his question. " I heard about it. But how is that my fault? Did I ask the sister to work in the entertainment industry? Grandfather, just because I am not your blood, are you going to blame me for everything?" she asked with teary eyes.
" I…If you hate me so much, then I can leave the house. I am just staying here because I can't see mother and grandmother in a vulnerable state because of me." she said with a choking voice as tears rolled down her eyes.
Lin Ran's heart was aching seeing Xingren crying so vulnerably. " Father, why are you being like this? If Xu Nuan is our blood, then Xingren is also our daughter. How can you favor Xu Nuan just because you found out that she is our blood and Xingren not?"
Grandfather Gu scoffed upon hearing her words. There is no reason to talk to those people who have been blinded by someone's buttery words. He shook his head and turned to Xingren, " I am not talking about the scandal, but do you know a crazy fan attacked Xu Nuan after the article was released and pushed her on the road in front of the truck, almost killing her."
" And do you want me to tell me who was the one who ordered that girl to do that kind of heinous crime?" He raised his brows as he stared at her coldly, making her hands tremble in fear.
Xingren's complexion turned pale when she was faced by his questioning gaze.
" Dad, why are you looking at Xingren like this? Do you think she would do something like that?" Lin Ran walked to Xingren and pulled her by her side protectively and asked in confusion.
Gu Zhang frowned and glanced at Xingren whose expressions were mortified. He looked at Grandfather Gu and asked, " Dad, isn't the girl who attacked Xu Nuan was a crazy fan of Han Liang? Or…is there something else in the story?" he glanced at Xingren with a complicated gaze.
Seeing how his father was acting and remembering what Xingren did to Xu Nuan in the past, he was feeling something was fishy. His father can be indifferent and strict sometimes but he is not close-minded enough to treat Xingren this way just because she is not Gu.
Xingren bit her lower lip and clenched her trembling hands, " Grandfather, crazy fans are like this. They can do anything just to prove their love and loyalty towards their idol. Why are you asking me about this? I can't understand this…." she said while trying to be natural but her heart was beating at a crazy speed, making her stutter in between.
" Do you think you can act innocent in front of me? That girl..has confessed that you're the one who asked her to harm her. You not only pushed Xu Nuan on the road when she got into a severe accident but also tried to harm her again. Xingren, when did you become such a monster?" Grandfather Gu asked while looking at paled Xingren disappointingly.
" I used to be so proud of you that you're my granddaughter. How can you do this? Is it because you're not a Gu by blood? Weren't we treating you the same even after we found out the truth? Huh? What was the need for you to go to this extent just to get rid of Xu Nuan?"
Gu Zhang's mouth opened in shock upon finding this truth. He turned to Xingren who was panicking and was shivering in fear.
" Xingren, is that true? You're the one who asked that girl to push Xu Nuan on the road?" He asked her in shock.
Seeing Xingren's shocked, shivering state, he turned to Grandfather Gu, " Dad, who told you about this? How did you find out about it?"
Grandfather Gu pursed his lips and glanced at Xingren who had her lips sealed due to nervousness. She has pretended to be innocent and a good sister if he hasn't found out the truth.
If Han Zihao had not told him about Xingren's wrongful deeds then he would have been kept in the dark for his whole life. A few weeks ago, he received a call from Han Zihao's secretary who told him that Han Zihao wants to have a meeting with him.
At that time he didn't know what he had to talk about but he remembered this name and the man who took Xu Nuan to the banquet when she fainted. He didn't get to meet him again but has a positive impression on him.
When he met him in his office, which was bigger than his chamber in Gu Corporations, the man looked even more powerful and charming in his territory. The words that he had said the other day, are still vivid in his memory.
He was the one who told him how Xingren pushed Xu Nuan off the road earlier because of which she had to go through the operation. Not only that, the girl who pushed Xu Nuan off the road and almost got her killed, was ordered to attack her and leave malicious comments about Xu Nuan on the dating-scandal posts.
He would have submitted the evidence he has gathered to the police but since it was related to the Gu family, he decided to tell him this first.
" Mr. Han, I am thankful to you that you're by Xu Nuan's side. Also, I am glad that you told me this first. I will handle it accordingly, please don't report Xingren to the police for this. It not only comprises her but…our family and company reputation as well."
" I hope you take care of this matter well. I believe in you, Mr. Gu." Grandfather Gu pursed his lips seeing Han Zihao's protective nature towards Xu Nuan. Although she is his granddaughter, this man cares for her more than him.
He only cares for her but this man knows how to protect her. He was glad that there was a person who takes care of her and cherishes her. She deserves it.

" Dad, who told you this?" Gu Zhang asked again but Grandfather Gu remained quiet. If he told them it's Han Zihao, they will say that he was being biased and Han Zihao said this only because of Xu Nuan, since she is his girlfriend. It was Xu Nuan who is behind all this drama and was trying to frame Xingren for something she didn't do it.
" It's not important who told me this. The important thing is, Xingren tried to kill Xu Nuan not only once but twice. With her actions, she deserved to be punished and not promoted to be the vice-president." Grandfather Gu said.
Xingren's face turned paler upon hearing this, " No, Dad. Grandpa, I didn't do it. That girl is lying. I didn't ask her to kill Xu Nuan. I just told her to harm her…a little. I didn't ask her to push her on the road. I swear I didn't say that. She is lying, Dad." She cried helplessly and was feeling wronged about the whole situation.
She told her to spread rumors about her and harm her..a little just to scare her. And the girl might have pushed her on the road, but Xu Nuan didn't die, did she? Everything was fine and nobody even cared about that incident until Grandfather Gu picked on that matter.
Why is he so noisy?
" Xin Xin…How can..you? You truly disappointed me this time." Gu Zhang said disappointedly. He has warned her when Xu Nuan told him that she pushed her off the road but finding out that she tried to attack Xu Nuan again has given him a huge shock.
