Gu Jue's words were resolute. He was determined to argue the rights and wrongs of the matter with Xie Ningyuan.
For once, Xie Ningyuan found him a little less irritating… 'As expected, he hasn't disappointed me. If Gu Jue hadn't asked, this whole affair would have truly ended here.'
He shot Lu Sangjiu a silent look, as if to say, 'See? It's not that I insist on talking, it's that he insists on asking.'
Lu Sangjiu's feelings were also complicated at that moment. As one of the people directly involved, no one knew better than her what had really happened.
What Xie Ningyuan had said... at least so far, was the truth.
'Still, she found it a bit strange. Xie Ningyuan wasn't present back then, so how could he describe it so clearly?'
Now was clearly not the right time to ask. The out she had originally provided had been shattered by Gu Jue. If this matter wasn't made clear today, none of them could expect to get a peaceful night's sleep.
