In the words of Murphy's Law, anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
Mu Anhan had been in a hurry to defend him and did not realize that she should not know what she had revealed.
Now Gu Xiaozhan was forcing her to face the music.
However, she dealt with it calmly. "Hubby, didn't the news already show it? I saw it on the earlier news broadcast time!"
Gu Xiaozhan didn't know why, but his gut told him she was lying.
If she learned about it in the news broadcast, why did she not say so? Why would she clench her little fists and look lost?
Ultimately, he had to ask the servants to turn on the TV to prove her words with the news broadcast.
How did she know so much? It was the exact same evidence Mu Shaochen had received!
Was she the hacker, Old A?
The wheels started to turn in Gu Xiaozhan's mind. She was Mu Shaochen's biological sister. Before she got married, she was the closest to Mu Shaochen. Moreover, Mu Shaochen was crazy protective of his sister and showered her with overbearing attention and affection. Did she learn Computer Science from Mu Shaochen?
After their forced shotgun marriage, Mu Anhan stopped being close to Mu Shaochen because he was Gu Xiaozhan's confidant.
She stayed angry at Mu Shaochen for a long time because she hated Gu Xiaozhan.
Now there was a new issue she was unwilling to talk to him about, like who was Old A? And how did she really know all that information?
Combined with Mu Shaochen's uncharacteristic defense of the hacker, Old A, were the siblings playing tricks under his nose?
"Hubby..." Mu Anhan tugged at his sleeve lightly, looking wide-eyed and innocent. His predatory eyes were sharp as he looked at her like prey.
What was he thinking? Was he suspecting her of something?
Mu Anhan did not want to disclose her Old A persona because she knew her hacking skills were not worth mentioning and did not want to waste his time.
Gu Xiaozhan seemed to believe her lie. "Let's eat."
Mu Anhan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but Gu Xiaozhan caught it.
He held her hand and led her to the dining table.
He pulled a chair like a gentleman and let Mu Anhan sit first.
Mu Anhan felt like her husband was extremely enchanting at the moment. He was being charmingly gentlemanly. It felt great being pampered by him!
However, once this sneaky man took off his gentleman's hat, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing!
She smiled sweetly at him, oblivious. "Hubby, you sit too."
Gu Xiaozhan sat beside her and placed a possessive arm on the back of her chair, exuding territorial testosterone.
Gu Yonglei and Pei Wei sat opposite them. Weren't they rumored to be like fire and water? Didn't Mrs. Gu always cause trouble for Mr. Gu?
On the contrary, they were so loving and sweet when attending a banquet together.
At the dining table of the rich, eating was like chewing wax.
Mu Anhan could not find her appetite. She could not enjoy many of the uncommon delicacies before her.
Fortunately, her husband knew what she liked to eat. While he chatted with others, he still accurately picked out what she liked and put it on her plate.
After the meal, Gu Xiaozhan got swarmed by his family, all vying for his attention and favor. Mu Anhan went to the yard to get some fresh air and took out her phone to play a game.
"Seventh Aunt..." Feng Siling was the granddaughter of the first wife, and her mother was the eldest daughter of the Gu family. She was married to Country A's oil tycoon, and she was the pearl in the palm of the Gu and Feng families.
Despite being only 18, aside from not being as pretty as Mu Anhan, her skin was not as supple and smooth, though she was obviously younger by a few years.
Feng Siling could not hide her jealousy of Mu Anhan at all!
"Siling, what's up?" Mu Anhan could not believe that such a distinguished young lady would talk to her first.
Feng Siling raised her chin, saying arrogantly, "I heard that Seventh Aunt has a talent for painting. There's a spot outside Grandpa's house that is pretty to paint. Come with me, Seventh Aunt; let's go paint together!"
"Alright, let me inform Xiaozhan first," Mu Anhan replied.
"Seventh Uncle and Grandpa are discussing serious national affairs; there's no need to bother him for such a small matter!" Feng Siling did not want her to have contact with Gu Xiaozhan.
