The culprit, Ji Yu, showed not the slightest hint of guilt.
"Mom, Dad, he runs a company."
That explanation was technically correct, but Gu Qixiao couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
The Ji family parents also harbored suspicions that Gu Qixiao might be plotting a marriage scam. Otherwise, why would he be so indifferent about the child? Their attitude toward him had grown noticeably colder.
Seeing Gu Qixiao's puzzled expression, Ji Yu felt like she was on the verge of breaking down.
It wasn't her fault! She had no choice in this matter. By explaining it this way, she was merely trying to save Gu Qixiao from embarrassment.
"Mom, Dad, since the discussion is more or less over, shouldn't we let President Gu get back to his work now?"
"At least stay for a meal. After all, he did help you a lot this time." Although they were suspicious of Gu Qixiao, there was no denying the authenticity of his involvement in this particular incident.
