"Jinglan, do you believe that Sang Nuan likes her brother-in-law?"

On the way home, Liang Qingran asked Chu Jinglan in a low voice.

Chu Jinglan shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'm not familiar with Sang Nuan."

"She is related to Ningning. I met her several times when I first returned to China. Although she became a big star later and it was inconvenient for us to meet, I think she is not the kind of person who would still like her brother-in-law even though she knows that he is married and has children."

Liang Qingran expressed his thoughts.

Chu Jinglan said, "But what Mingyu said makes sense. A mature and charming man like my brother-in-law is at the age when young girls tend to like him. He takes such good care of Sang Nuan, so it's possible that Sang Nuan will be attracted to him."

"So, you agree with Gu Mingyu?" Liang Qingran asked.

Chu Jinglan said, "You know my sister, she is not that tough. She would rather sacrifice herself to preserve the overall situation. Even if she was wronged in this matter, she would still compromise for the sake of her brother-in-law's reputation and family harmony. So I must find out whether she was wronged in this matter."

"I understand. I don't want my sister to suffer any injustice either." Liang Qingran said, holding his hand.

Following Gu Mingyu's suggestion, the two of them invited Chu Jinchu to their home a day later.

Chu Jinchu suddenly received a call from Chu Jinglan, and his tone was quite anxious.

She thought something happened in his home and came over in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked anxiously: "Jinglan, is there something wrong with Xiaoran? Or is Xiao Tangyuan sick?"

"Sister, Xiaoran is fine, the child is fine too, I just want to talk to you about something."

Chu Jinglan asked her to sit down.

Chu Jinchu looked at his brother in confusion.

At this time, Liang Qingran came out and made tea for them.

"Xiao Ran, are you really okay? Where's the child?"

"The child is asleep in the room, sister, the child and I are really fine."

Liang Qingran brewed some scented tea and brought it over for each person to drink.

She sat down too.

Just sit next to her.

Chu Jinchu was confused, could it be that the two of them were having a quarrel?

Before she asked, Chu Jinglan said, "Sister, do you know the relationship between your brother-in-law and Sang Nuan?"

Chu Jinchu was startled, then immediately explained with a smile: "You didn't read the entertainment news and suspect them of something, did you? That's all hype, they are really just a cooperative relationship, and you know that some reporters like to write nonsense."

"Sister, are you sure you just wrote it randomly?" Chu Jinglan asked seriously.

Chu Jinchu said: "Of course I am sure, I definitely trust your brother-in-law, don't question this. We are husband and wife, how can I not understand him?"

"Maybe my brother-in-law didn't think too much about it, but how can we guarantee that Sang Nuan won't think too much about it. Do you know what Sang Nuan is thinking?" Chu Jinglan asked.

Chu Jinchu frowned: "Jinglan, did you hear something, so you ask this question?"

Just by watching the news, the doubts cannot be so strong.

"Sister, don't blame Jing Lan. Jing Lan also cares about you and is worried that you will be wronged."

Liang Qingran held her hand.

"So, tell me what you heard." Chu Jinchu's expression was serious.

Chu Jinglan said, "Yes, I heard something. I heard that Sang Nuan had a history of alcohol addiction, and some speculated that she contracted the disease because she fell in love with someone she shouldn't have. And that person was my brother-in-law."

"Who is talking nonsense?"

Chu Jinchu was very angry.

"So it's not true?"

"Of course it's not true. Her history of alcoholism has nothing to do with your brother-in-law." Chu Jinchu said affirmatively.

"What's the reason?" Liang Qingran asked curiously.

Chu Jinchu: "..."

"It's not convenient for me to tell you the reason, but it has nothing to do with your brother-in-law anyway."

"Sister, there is no outsider here. Just tell me the reason and I will believe what you say." Chu Jinglan said.

Chu Jinchu said speechlessly: "Why, you still don't believe what I say now? There is no need for me to lie to you about this matter."

"Who knows? Maybe you are doing this to save your brother-in-law's face."

Chu Jinglan muttered softly.

Chu Jinchu sighed helplessly.

She also knew that her brother and sister-in-law were doing this for her own good. If she didn't tell them the reason today, they would definitely not believe it.

Maybe he will even go to Gu Mingchen to question him.

"Actually, it was because...she was injured. You know her past career. She was about to participate in an international competition and win another gold medal. Her family didn't like her because she wasn't good enough...and then she couldn't continue her career, so her family's attitude towards her became even worse. She was still a young child. How could she bear such a sudden change? So she drank to drown her sorrows and became addicted. It was your brother-in-law who had someone suppress the news and helped her find a psychologist for treatment. I accompanied her several times on this matter."

"So that's the reason. If that's the reason, why doesn't my brother-in-law want to tell Mingyu?" Chu Jinglan asked puzzledly.

"Mingyu? Did he ask your brother-in-law?" Chu Jinchu was surprised.

Chu Jinglan nodded: "It was because my brother-in-law refused to tell Mingyu the reason that Mingyu came to me and suspected the relationship between my brother-in-law and Sang Nuan."

"How could this kid be so suspicious of his brother?" Chu Jinchu said speechlessly.

But soon, she explained, "Your brother-in-law didn't want to tell him the reason because he was thinking about him. Have you forgotten why Sang Nuan was injured? Mingyu is never willing to owe others anything. If he knew about this, he would feel sorry for Sang Nuan and feel guilty and remorseful. Your brother-in-law didn't want him to bear these things, so he didn't want to tell him."

"Then should we tell Mingyu?" Liang Qingran looked at Chu Jinglan and asked.

Chu Jinglan was silent.

Chu Jinchu said: "Don't tell him. Since your brother-in-law doesn't want him to know, then don't let him know."

"I'm sorry, sister, it may be too late." Chu Jinglan said.

Chu Jinchu looked at him puzzledly.

Suddenly I thought of something and looked around quickly.

She thought that Gu Mingyu was also hiding at home and eavesdropping.

Chu Jinglan took out his cell phone and showed it to them.

Liang Qingran and Chu Jinchu only then noticed that his phone was actually on a call the whole time.

The person he was talking to was Gu Mingyu.

The two were speechless.

Liang Qingran quickly reached out and wanted to hang up the phone.

However, before she could hang up.

Gu Mingyu seemed to have guessed that she would hang up, so he took the initiative to hang up first.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance and call him?" Liang Qingran said anxiously with a frown.

Chu Jinglan said: "He called me and told me not to hang up. I really didn't expect it to be this reason."

"Okay, stop arguing. Since he already knows, then let him know! In fact, I think he should know about this. You haven't seen Sang Nuan's... most painful time. No matter what, it was because of Mingyu that she went through all that, and Mingyu should also take responsibility. It's only because your brother-in-law loves Mingyu and doesn't want to make him feel guilty that he has been silently doing these things for him all these years to repay his kindness. But I don't think Sang Nuan has let it go, and she may also want an apology from Mingyu."

Chu Jinchu didn't want them to quarrel, so he interrupted them and tried to persuade them.

Chu Jinglan also said: "Mingyu is a man, he should be made to take responsibility for this matter."

Chu Jinchu: "..."

She just said these words to comfort them because she didn't want them to quarrel.

I didn't expect that he really thought so?

Sure enough, men and women think differently.

But since Gu Mingyu knew about this from her, she had to tell Gu Mingchen immediately.

"Since you are all fine, I have something to do and I'll leave first." Chu Jinchu stood up.

Liang Qingran felt very sorry. She originally wanted to solve the problem for her sister, but she didn't expect to cause trouble for her sister.

Send her out and apologize to her repeatedly.

Chu Jinchu also comforted her: "It's okay, just don't be angry with Jing Lan."

"Well, we won't be angry." Liang Qingran promised.

After Chu Jinchu left, he sighed as soon as he got in the car.

He quickly took out his cell phone, called Gu Mingchen and told him about it.

Of course, she took all the blame on herself.

"I'm sorry, Chen. I was too careless and accidentally told Mingyu about it."

Gu Mingchen immediately said, "This is none of your business. It must be Mingyu's trap. He couldn't get anything out of me, so he wanted to start with you. It was my fault that I didn't warn you in advance. He's so smart, and you didn't prepare yourself mentally in advance, so how could you not be fooled?"

"Now that he knows, what should we do?" Chu Jinchu asked.

Gu Mingchen said, "Just know it if you know it! I have been hiding this from him, and it is my fault. And I think Sang Yuwan...she has also had problems. She wants to terminate the contract with Gu Group. I plan to meet with her and have a chat to see what she thinks."

"Do you need me to come over?" Chu Jinchu asked.

"It's a matter of contract termination. Zhou Yi and I will go with our lawyers." Gu Mingchen said.

"Ah."

Chu Jinchu hung up the phone.

*********

After Gu Mingyu hung up Chu Jinglan's phone, he held the phone in silence for a long time.

He didn't expect that Sang Yuwan became addicted to alcohol because of him?

Thinking of the first time Sang Yuwan jokingly told him that she accepted his apology but did not forgive him, he thought she was being unreasonable at the time.

The last time he helped her out of trouble, she said she would repay the favor in the future.

Oh, even though she was suffering like that, she didn't blame him.

She even said that she had repaid the favor. What kind of person is she?

He took out his cell phone and wanted to call Sang Yuwan.

I want to ask her what she is thinking.

However, looking at her number, I couldn't press the dial button.

It wasn't until the phone from the research institute rang that he was brought back to reality from his daze.

Maybe he should go find her and talk to her in person.

He would agree to any compensation she wanted.

He originally owed her this, and he shouldn't keep asking his elder brother to pay it back for him.

"Professor Gu, why are you here?"

Xiaomei saw Gu Mingyu from the surveillance video and immediately helped him open the door, asking in surprise and joy.

"Where is Sang Yuwan? I have something to talk to her about." Gu Mingyu said.

Xiaomei showed an embarrassed expression and said, "I'm sorry, Professor Gu, Sister Wanwan may not want to see you now. She has locked herself in her room for a whole day and won't see anyone."
