"Grandma also wants to go in?" Qin Sheng asked loudly.
"Grandma is doing this for your own good. You are now with Mochen, but it turns out that you are the Duke's girlfriend. If you get involved with the Duke, it may cause Mochen to misunderstand!" He Fen said.
Qin Sheng looked at He Fen's face and only wanted to vomit. Every word she said was clear, so she couldn't find a reason to not let He Fen into the room!
However, Li Ang was not in the room, and if she went in, they would be exposed!
Qin Sheng said, "The Duke is taking a shower. I don't think it's convenient for Grandma to go in. Everyone knows that he has germaphobia and doesn't like people entering his room."
"The Duke is taking a shower? Then why is Miss Qin in his room? If Yin Yin never knocked on the door, I don't think Miss Qin would have planned to come out!" Sister Yu said loudly.
Qin Sheng's heart pounded, and she heard the sound of someone walking over. She looked up and saw Gong Mochen's dark face. Obviously, he had heard everything just now...
"I..." She paused. "Li Ang's leg is not great. I was just helping him into the bathtub and then came out."
She came up with a reason, and this reason was the only one that stood up.
"Taking a bath at this time? He was only in the room with Miss Qin. I wonder why he wants a bath? The Duke really must be mysophobic," said Sister Yu schemingly, looking at Gong Mochen's dark face.
Qin Sheng gritted her teeth harder. Sister Yu was clearly slandering Li Ang. She was clearly hinting that she and Li Ang had done something, which was why Li Ang wanted to take a bath.
"I pushed him back to his room. He disliked the smell of smoke on his body, so he wanted to take a bath!" she tried her best to explain.
She had never liked to lie, but today, she had no choice but to lie.
He Fen glanced at Gong Mochen's face. "Mochen, don't be anxious. You have to get to the bottom of things. Maybe it's really nothing? But I think the Duke still has feelings for Qin Sheng...
"Grandma needs to get this off her chest." She turned to Qin Sheng. "Even if the Duke is your ex-boyfriend, you should at least avoid him. At the very least, you have to care about Mochen's feelings!
"How about this, if you don't want us to go into the room, we won't go in. You can call Li Ang out and we'll ask him. Why don't we just talk to him face to face?"
Qin Sheng's hands were clenched into fists. She was too impressed by He Fen's eloquence. She was clearly trying to get Gong Mochen on her side.
She and Li Ang didn't do anything, but He Fen said it as if she had done all sorts of scandalous things with him!
However, she couldn't go in and call Li Ang because Li Ang wasn't in the room. How could she call Li Ang out? And everyone would know that Li Ang's legs were healed. He had already run away from the room!
She looked at Gong Mochen and walked towards him. "Do you trust me? Uncle."
She made sure to call him uncle, knowing that this would touch his soft spot. He had always trusted her unconditionally, no matter what she did.
Gong Mochen's eyes were fixated on the little woman in front of him. He Fen's words had hit him where it hurt.
Qin Sheng had been taken away by Li Ang. For so many years, she had been Li Ang's girlfriend, and Li Ang was the grandson-in-law of the Yun family.
All of that was something that he couldn't compete against. If he had any reason to fight with Li Ang, it would be for Qin Sheng's love!
He could only hope that Qin Sheng truly loved him. Of course, if Qin Sheng didn't love him one day, then he would be completely defeated!
"Where's Li Ang?" he said in his cold voice. He wanted to see Li Ang, so that Li Ang could explain it to him clearly.
Qin Sheng was short of breath and her eyes landed on the man's face. Did he not believe her?
"You want to see Li Ang?" Her lips trembled.
If he insisted on breaking in, she couldn't stop him at all.
Gong Mochen took a step forward and almost stuck himself to the little woman. His eyes were dark. "Yes, I want to see him. Since it's inconvenient for women to go in, is it okay for me to go in?"
He wanted to see Li Ang so that they could talk man to man.
Qin Sheng's heart was pounding. "You don't believe me, do you?"
Gong Mochen's eyes were dark. "Why won't you let me in see Li Ang?"
Qin Sheng smiled bitterly. "You only believe their words! You really doubt me and believe others?"
Her heart ached. She had never thought of betraying him!
If she could accept it, she would have accepted Li Ang long ago. Li Ang had protected her for so many years, and she did feel grateful to him.
However, she didn't love him. She knew that her heart could never accommodate a third person, no matter how much that person had sacrificed for her.
"I'm not doubting you. I just want to see Li Ang. Why won't you let me see him?" Gong Mochen's deep and cold voice escaped his lips.
There were so many people watching them. He just wanted Li Ang to make it clear that he had no ill intentions.
He needed to speak to the man to clear the air.
Qin Sheng's heart was pounding non-stop. She bit her bottom lip. "Why should I let you see him? Since you don't believe me, it doesn't matter what he has to say. It's unnecessary to say anything.
"If you think that I would do anything with Li Ang, then I can't do anything about that! Think what you like!"
She spoke with a straight voice. She couldn't let others know that Li Ang's leg had healed, and she couldn't let them know that Li Ang was not in the room but went to her father's room.
Gong Mochen's lips fell into a straight line, and he said, "Do you know what you're talking about?"
His heart was beating painfully. Was she inadvertently admitting to having an affair with Li Ang? And in front of so many people to top it off... Why else wouldn't she let him see Li Ang?
He was so angry that he wanted to tear the house down brick by brick!
"I know what I'm saying! Gong Mochen, if you're afraid of losing your dignity, we'll break up. After all, I'm not the one who announced that we're together," Qin Sheng said.
Gong Mochen was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She was breaking up with him for Li Ang!
"Qin Sheng, I'll give you one more chance. You can say it again!" Gong Mochen roared angrily.
"Why should I say it again? I'm sorry, I won't say it twice. If you want to say it, why don't you say it first? Why is the side building on fire?" Qin Sheng's cold gaze landed on Gong Mochen's face.
No one except Gong Mochen knew that she had just gotten the key and wanted to go to her father's room to find his belongings.
But before she could go, her father's room was set on fire.
Why would he want to burn that room? There was clearly something important in there that would give clues to what happened to her father.
Gong Mochen's eyes were reserved. He walked to his little woman and lowered his voice, which could only be heard by the two of them. "You suspect me?"
"Then tell me, who else knows that I had the key and wanted to go to my father's room?" Qin Sheng said in a low voice.
Gong Mochen clenched his fists. "If I set the fire, why would I give you the key? I wouldn't put you at risk!"
"Because you're afraid that I'll suspect that you had something to do with my father's death! Gong Mochen, how much blood debt do you owe my family?" Qin Sheng's eyes were watery.
He Fen couldn't hear what they were saying and was anxious, "Qin Sheng, quickly get the Duke to come out and explain. I believe that even if you did something, as long as you admit your mistake, Mochen will spare you!"
She had long been waiting to see Qin Sheng be punished by Gong Mochen. As long as she didn't have Gong Mochen as her backer, Qin Sheng had nothing!
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the door, "What's the matter?"
