Sheng Shiwu had planned to join Gu Jiaojiao for dinner at the Su family's house, but after overhearing the local gossip, he hastily said his goodbyes and headed home.
After Sheng Shiwu was out of earshot, Gu Jiaojiao asked quizzically, "Su Shuochi, since when have Sheng Yueyue and Sheng Shiwen gotten so close?"
"What do you mean, darling? Haven't those two always been close?"
"They're usually close, but not *this* close. Didn't you hear what everyone was saying? Sheng Yueyue threatened to jump off a building just to force her dad to make me visit Sheng Shiwen in the hospital."
"It's obvious. She's definitely plotting some new way to torment you. This has nothing to do with her being close to Sheng Shiwen!"
"You're right! Su Shuochi, you're so sharp. You figured it out just like that."
"Don't doubt it, darling. There's something wrong with that Sheng Yueyue. She has to compete with you for everything and absolutely can't stand to see you doing better than her."
