Yang Wenlan had also heard He Nan talk about what happened that day from beginning to end. She immediately grasped the main point. "Was she originally trying to scheme against Mr. Gu?"
Jin Qianqian shook her head. "You can't exactly say that. Maybe she saw how suave and handsome Lord Ning was and changed her mind.
"Besides, Mr. He was praising her earlier. When the Xiao family's daughter was standing on the street begging for help, Mr. Gu wasn't the only one there—Mr. He was present too. As for who she really wanted to scheme against? I wouldn't dare say."
It was better to wash their hands of the matter. After all, it wasn't like that Xiao woman could go around announcing that she had schemed against the wrong person.
Thinking of her husband's earlier words of praise, Yang Wenlan felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly, her aversion to the Xiao family's daughter deepening. "So she just wanted to find another way out for herself. Anyone with a promising future would do."
