Ding dong...... Ding dong......

  Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly.

  "I'll go open the door." The fire in Gu Mian's heart was burning fiercely, and to avoid losing her temper on the spot and embarrassing everyone, she made an effort to suppress her anger. She pushed away Er Niang and Qiu Yan, who were holding onto her and wouldn't let go, and stood up to head towards the door.

  "Ah..." Second Aunt still wanted to pull Gu Mei, but was blocked by Ji Yun on the side.

  What right does Second Uncle and Second Aunt have to make her solve the problems they created themselves? She's not a professional cleaner for their messes, even if it is between relatives and you can't just stand by and do nothing, but still, this can't keep happening over and over again!

  That bastard Du Hao, she had already sworn in her heart that she would never bow down to that scoundrel, one day she would make him see, prove to him that she could live just as well without Du Hao, and even more wonderfully.

  Now her second uncle and aunt are letting her pretend to be pitiful to beg Du Hao for mercy, isn't that just making her slap herself in the face?

  If she really went, then what about those harsh words she said to Du Hao before?

  Gu Meng's body trembled slightly with anger, her heart tightening in waves. She just couldn't understand why such things always happened at home with relatives.

  Just as Grandpa said, what's going on between her and Du Hao, outsiders aren't clear about it, could Second Uncle and Second Aunt not know?

  They only thought of asking Peng Jun to solve the problem, but they didn't think about her feelings. The ones who do business with problematic ingredients are them, and the ones who use oil that is harmful to humans for cooking are also them. From start to finish, this whole thing has nothing to do with Gu Shuang, but now that there's trouble, they know to let her solve it.

  If Second Uncle and Second Aunt as well as that Peng Jun could just honestly and diligently do business, they wouldn't get themselves into such a mess.

  Took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and glanced at the cat's eye. This glance was not trivial, as the people outside the door were actually several police officers in uniform.

  Gu Mei didn't dare to delay and quickly opened the door, looking at the police outside with a puzzled face: "Excuse me, is there something going on?"

  "We're looking for Gu Yong." The policeman standing in the front said in a completely neutral tone, as if it was just a matter of routine.

  Gu Mian stepped aside and asked, "What are you looking for my second uncle?"

  "The Du Group employee food poisoning case requires his assistance in the investigation." The police officer said, not looking at Guan Ying, and walked directly into the house.

  Second Aunt saw the police entering the door and immediately let out a loud shriek.

  However, several police officers simply ignored her and walked directly towards Gu Rong.

  The house suddenly became a mess, and Second Aunt blocked the police, saying that she would not let them take Gu Rong away. In the end, it was Grandfather who could not bear it anymore, letting out a loud roar, which slightly controlled the situation.

  "The police just asked Gu Rong to assist with the investigation. They didn't say they were going to take him away, so calm down!" Grandpa stamped his cane heavily.

  "Dad..." Gu Rong's face turned white as he looked at his grandfather.

  "Don't panic for now. Just cooperate with the investigation and we'll figure out other things later." Grandpa patted Gu Rong's shoulder, his expression showing unspoken exhaustion.

  "Uh-huh." Perhaps Grandpa's words had a certain comforting effect, and Gu Yong followed the police out without being as frantic as Er Biao.

  Second Aunt seemed unable to withstand this blow, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

  "Big sister, big sister!" Qiu Yan saw that Er Shu had fainted, and she hastily shouted and pinched the acupuncture point.

  Ji Yun also hurried over to help.

  After all this commotion, Second Aunt quickly woke up too.

  The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to rush to Gu Mian's side, tightly grasping Gu Mian's hand: "Mianmian, Mianmian, you must help this time, your second uncle has also been taken away, and Gu Nan is still a minor, what can I do?!"

  Gu Mei looked at Er Niang who was crying and shouting hoarsely, but didn't say a word.

  Second Aunt looked at Gu Mian, who refused to give in, and cried and made a fuss until Grandpa lost his temper. Only then did Second Aunt reluctantly leave with Qiu Yan.

  Waiting for Auntie Er to leave, Gu Mei then weakly made her way to the sofa.

  "What's all this about?" Mama Ji Yun looked at Gu Mian with some heartache. She wanted to say something, but seeing Grandpa beside her, she swallowed her words instead.

  Grandpa let out a long sigh, reached out and patted Gu Ming's head: "Mingming, no matter what decision you make, Grandpa will support you. Your second uncle and auntie this time are also getting what they deserve, if there really is something... then it's what they should get."

  "Grandpa..." Gu Mian grabbed Grandpa's hand, her eyes welling up with tears.

  Although Second Uncle and Second Aunt were not in harmony, at least Grandfather was on her side, and Mother must have been on her side too, so she wasn't being too wronged.

  "Mingming, your grandfather is right. You can do whatever you want to do with this matter, Mom doesn't want you to force yourself." Ji Yun saw that her grandfather had spoken up and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, and followed up in agreement.

  Ji Yun knew that Gu Mei's grandfather must have made up his mind to say such things, and he wouldn't be feeling good about it either. After all, no matter what mistakes Gu Rong had made, he was still his biological son.

  Whether she is selfish or cold-blooded, after all these years, she has been busy with her younger brother and sister-in-law's affairs. Gu Mei is the flesh that fell from her body, and it was not easy for her to walk out of the shadow of Du Hao's regretful marriage. She would rather die than let her daughter compromise and beg for forgiveness because of this.

  "Grandpa, don't worry too much. As long as the food poisoning isn't too severe, I think there's still a chance to turn things around." Gu Mei paused for a moment before continuing: "As for Du Hao's side, I won't go there. After all, I have my own dignity. But I also won't bother with Second Uncle. Whether it's finding connections or making compensation, I'll do whatever I can."

  "Don't be stubborn, if you really have to compensate, it's not a small amount." Grandpa shook his head.

  "Grandpa, don't worry, I know what to do." Gu Mian nodded.

  "Alright, alright, there's no use rushing now. Father, you should eat too. I'll go cook." Ji Yun stood up and said softly.

  "I'll help too." Gu Mian hastily said.

  Ji Yun nodded and went to the kitchen with Gu Mian.

  Grandpa didn't know that Gu Mei sold the porcelain pillow and still had money, but she knew. After making sure Grandpa wouldn't hear the sound from the kitchen, Ji Yun pulled Gu Mei aside and asked in a low voice: "Mei Mei, just like your grandpa said, don't be stubborn. Mom knows you have money, but your second aunt is too much, even using oil of unknown origin to make food, it's clear that they're playing with people's lives and health, really need to teach her a lesson."

  Gu Yong is a man who speaks nicely is honest, but speaking harshly is timid. He dares to use those mysterious oils for business, this matter eight or nine out of ten is probably the idea of Er Shu.

  "Don't worry, mom, I have a sense of proportion. The Du Corporation won't make a big deal out of this, after all, the employees in the company got food poisoning from eating takeout, it's not something they want to get out either. As long as we negotiate properly, it shouldn't end up with me going to jail." Gu Ming comforted.

  "Alas, Mother also knows you're a person with your own ideas, so take care of it yourself!" Ji Yun sighed and stopped talking about the topic, starting to prepare dinner instead.

  The next day, Gu Ming asked Professor Wang for a leave and went early to a high-end coffee shop to wait.

  At exactly ten o'clock in the morning, the person she was waiting for appeared punctually at the coffee shop.

  "What a rare occasion, Miss Gu actually took the initiative to invite me out for coffee?" Yu Xiao walked into the cafe and saw Gu Mei sitting in a conspicuous spot.

  Today, Gu Mian wore a crimson skirt, her long black hair casually draped over her shoulders, and she had an inexplicable subtle charm about her.

  "Just call me Gu Mian, no need to be so polite and call me Miss Gu." Gu Mian smiled at Yu Xiao.

  "That's right, Gu Mian." Yu Xiao was quick-witted and eloquent.

  Gu Mei didn't beat around the bush either, and directly said: "I also wouldn't have come to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. You once said that if I encountered any difficulties, I could find you for help. Does that still count?"

  "Mathematics, how can it not be mathematics? I, Yu Xiao, have always been a person of my word. If I can help, I will definitely help you." Yu Xiao didn't find Gu Mian's words strange at all.

  When he received the call from Gu Mian yesterday, he had already counted it in his heart and knew that the other party would not find him to drink coffee for no reason. However, Gu Mian did not beat around the bush and directly got to the point, which was unexpectedly to his liking.

  It's exhausting enough to deal with others who beat around the bush on a daily basis, so speaking with someone who gets straight to the point is a kind of enjoyment.

  "Then I'll thank you first." Gu Mei heard this and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, continuing: "The thing is, my second uncle opened a small restaurant, but that small restaurant had some problems a few days ago. Someone ate something and got food poisoning, now the police have taken my second uncle and another relative in for questioning, as for when they'll be released, not a word has been said, so I was thinking..."

  "This is no problem, I'll go find out the situation later and help you get the person out as soon as possible. If there's anything needed, just let me know so I can make an effort in the right place." Yu Xiao immediately understood Gu Mei's meaning and spoke straightforwardly.

  "No." Gu Mian shook her head, politely declining Yu Xiao's kindness: "This time, it was also my family's relatives who were at fault. I think it's better not to rush them out for now, just hope you can help spread the word and don't let them suffer too much inside. As for other things, of course, we still need your help."
