Yu Qingyue shivered.

She said weakly, "I’ve told you, brother, there’s really nothing going on between Beiye and me."

She widened her eyes and looked at Yu Qingyun, trying her best to make her expression appear extra sincere: "Really, brother, I have no inappropriate thoughts about your girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" Yu Qingyun muttered the two words softly twice.

Yu Qingyue nodded: "That’s right, in my eyes, Beiye is my future sister-in-law."

For the sake of her life, Yu Qingyue swiftly sacrificed her integrity.

Yu Qingyun’s face seemed to show a bit of a smile, and Yu Qingyue patted her chest, thinking she finally pleased her brother.

Then Yu Qingyun’s next words mercilessly crushed her: "You know she’s your sister-in-law, yet you still act so close without considering avoiding suspicion? Do you not understand the concept of boundaries between males and females?"

Yu Qingyue: "..."

She had a thousand reasons to believe her brother’s focus was definitely on the first half of the sentence; regarding the second half, if the subject wasn’t Beiye, her brother wouldn’t have cared.

Yu Qingyue knew in her heart that at this moment, she just needed to say that Mo Beiye was actually a girl, and she would be fine.

After all, in that case, she and Mo Beiye could count as best friends, and her brother surely couldn’t get jealous over two girls, right?

But Yu Qingyue expressed that she was a person of conscience!

Although she had long sacrificed her integrity, true friendship loyalty must still be upheld!

Seeing Beiye’s demeanor, it was clear she didn’t want to share her secret with others. How could she expose it?

Thus, Yu Qingyue tearfully admitted her mistake and signed several unfair agreements, which finally satisfied her brother.

Yu Qingyue clutched her chest and lay down in the passenger seat, feeling like she had turned into a salted fish.

She seemed to see the figures of her clothes, bags, jewelry, and feasts drifting away over the next six months.

Yu Qingyun was simply a tyrant!

Yu Qingyun looked at his sister’s expression, his thin lips barely moving: "If you want to curse at me, say it out loud in front of me. Be careful not to hold it in too much."

Yu Qingyue: "..."

She really wanted to, but was afraid that if she cursed now and felt great about it, she’d be eating grass the next six months!

...

On the other side, Gu Shengyin was going home with Mo Zhongliang.

"What’s the deal with that picture anyway?" Mo Zhongliang asked with some concern. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Gu Shengyin frowned: "That girl Qingyue is my good friend, and she is the only one who knows my real gender. It was just us goofing around."

Gu Shengyin said, "We never kissed, nor are we a couple. Obviously, this was intentional."

If it wasn’t intentional, how could such misleading photos be taken? The worst part was that it got plastered on the school’s bulletin board!

How big a grudge does the person behind this have against me?

Mo Zhongliang, hearing this, also got quite agitated: "Why are kids these days so dark-minded? Among you young people, how much enmity could there be to do something so mean-spirited?"

He looked at Gu Shengyin: "Yanyan, rest assured, Dad will never let you be unjustly framed like this!"

Gu Shengyin smiled and said, "I trust Dad."

Actually, she thought to herself, Mo Zhongliang might not even need to take action.

Yu Qingyun clearly felt angry, and when it comes to investigating such matters, a proper businessman like Mo Zhongliang definitely wouldn’t compare to the Yu Family.

Sure enough, by evening, Gu Shengyin received a call from Yu Qingyun.

"I’ve found out which girl was behind the plot against you and Qingyue. Don’t worry, tomorrow she’ll come to apologize in person."
