It wasn’t that Xia Yangyang was being paranoid.
She had been listening here for a while now.
In their conversation, throughout the entire time, Gu Qichen never once considered any other possibilities.
Like the possibility that Shen Manbing might have framed her.
Gu Qichen said that he would investigate the matter thoroughly and give Shen Manbing an explanation.
Why should Shen Manbing be given an explanation for this matter?
She was the victim.
The most likely scenario was that Shen Manbing had framed her, so why would Gu Qichen still have to explain to her?
Gu Qichen kept saying he believed in her, using the evidence that “she wasn’t capable of doing that.”
But his buying of the necklace and covering up the incident without stirring waves revealed his suspicions.
He suspected her of theft, tarnishing the Gu family’s reputation, and framing Shen Manbing.
Otherwise, he could have made a scene and publicized the results of all the investigations.
It’s because he didn’t fully trust her, that he would rather spend two hundred million to hush up the matter!
Should Xia Yangyang be cheerful or sorrowful for Gu Qichen’s reckless actions in paying for her?
Xia Yangyang’s heart gradually sank, feeling overwhelmed by a tidal wave of sadness.
Xia Yangyang stood behind the artificial hill for quite some time.
Not long after, her cell phone rang.
It was a call from Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang didn’t feel like answering suddenly.
Because Xia Yangyang didn’t know what to say?
Should she confront him?
Xia Yangyang was suddenly a bit afraid.
Before, Gu Qichen had always defended her in front of Shen Manbing.
But at that time, Shen Manbing was just willfully causing trouble, clearly bullying her.
He was like a chivalrous hero protecting the weak.
Yet, that didn’t involve any fundamental trust.
And now, Xia Yangyang started having doubts.
If he had to choose between believing in Shen Manbing or herself.
Would he, without hesitation, choose to believe Shen Manbing?
Xia Yangyang already understood Gu Qichen’s answer.
All along, Xia Yangyang had overlooked the fact that Gu Qichen and Shen
Manbing grew up together as childhood friends.
Even without romantic feelings, the understanding and trust between them didn’t fade.
Maybe, Shen Manbing was taking advantage of this?
The phone rang again as Xia Yangyang hesitated on whether to answer.
But the light on her phone went off suddenly.
The phone was dead.
Xia Yangyang exhaled a sigh of relief.
Heaven had made a choice for her.
By the time Xia Yangyang returned to the parking lot, Gu Qichen’s car was nowhere in sight.
The night was very deep, and Xia Yangyang had lost track of time.
Wearing a formal dress, Xia Yangyang aimlessly walked the streets.
Luckily, it was late at night, and there were hardly any people on the street. Otherwise, she would definitely be attracting attention.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know how long she had been walking till she finally sat down on the edge of a flower bed.
Xia Yangyang was at a loss, and she couldn’t express her feelings.
“Brave girl, wearing such an expensive necklace and daring to walk the streets at midnight?”
Suddenly, a male voice drifted over.
Xia Yangyang looked up, and it was Shen Shichuan.
Xia Yangyang was startled: “What are you doing here?”
Shen Shichuan said: “I just came out, it would have been hard not seeing you.” Xia Yangyang looked around and realized she had unknowingly walked to the foot of Shichuan International Building.
Xia Yangyang managed a smile: “What a coincidence.”
Shen Shichuan’s voice was gentle: “Get in the car, I’ll take you home.”
