The wife he married through an arranged marriage is so sweet, Mr. Lu can't control himself.

Although Lu Yanshen felt that what she said was a bit strange, he felt he still needed to explain whether she was attractive to him or not.

He tried to explain before, but in the end he couldn't.

"no."

His sudden remark caught her off guard, as she was in a moment of joy.

"What do you mean, 'nothing'?"

Lu Yanshen did not answer immediately.

Instead, he turned off the lights, and only then, feeling extremely uncomfortable, said in a low, earnest voice:

"You have absolutely no charm with me."

"Ha—" Gu Zhigang opened his mouth, about to burst into laughter.

How can she be so cute?

Lu Yanshen had already anticipated this, and quickly buried her little face in his chest again.

Gu Zhi could only chuckle silently.

But he laughed so hard his whole body was shaking.

And it made him shake too.

In the darkness, a hint of a smile had crept into Lu Yanshen's cold eyes, though he himself was unaware of it.

……

The next day.

Gu Zhi had just finished breakfast when Secretary Zhao arrived.

Gu Zhi didn't rush to speak, but instead took out the bottles of medicine she had brought back from her mother's room and placed them in front of Secretary Zhao.

He then said, "Look, this is from my mother's room."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhao immediately knew that there was something wrong with these bottles of medicine.

I was startled.

He quickly picked it up and examined it carefully.

However, he was not a medical student and had no knowledge of drugs.

Even if you open the medicine bottle and smell an unusual odor, you still won't know what's wrong with the medicine.

He then asked Gu Zhi, "What's wrong with these bottles of medicine?"

Gu Zhi then said, "The medicine in these bottles is all fake."

Secretary Zhao's eyes widened instantly, unable to believe it.

Doesn't that mean that the young lady's mother was actually murdered?!

Because at that time, the mothers of the young ladies required medication.

But he was taking fake medicine.

No wonder the young lady's mother took those drugs back then, and her condition kept getting worse and worse, even attempting suicide!

"Genuine medicine is highly stable," Gu Zhi continued. "It has a strict ratio of excipients, so even after so many years, it won't have such an obvious odor, nor will it release impurities."

Secretary Zhao said urgently:

"Who switched the medication?!"

"Your mother didn't want to commit suicide at the time; she said she couldn't control herself."

"She also told your grandfather that she would definitely take her medicine properly, and that she still hadn't found you!"

"We all saw with our own eyes that she was trying her best to take her medicine every day. In fact, she was afraid that she would forget, so she told us to remind her to take it every day."

"She said she wanted to cure her depression; she couldn't die."

"If she dies, she won't be able to find you."

"She definitely wouldn't change this medication herself!"

"Someone must have switched it!"

Gu Zhi felt a pang of depression.

Then, calm returned.

Said:

"I only contacted you because I didn't know who you were."

"I was quite suspicious of Shen Lifeng at first, but after asking Aunt Wu some questions, I learned that if my mother died, it wouldn't do Shen Lifeng any good either."

"After all, back then, Shen Lifeng didn't know he was the illegitimate son of the Shen family and relied entirely on the Gu family."

"As long as my mother is alive, my grandfather won't do anything to him, and will turn a blind eye to him taking things from the Gu family."

"Of all the people I know, I'm most suspicious of Sun Qin right now."

"My grandfather probably told you that Shen Yuyao is actually Shen Lifeng's biological daughter, right?"

Secretary Zhao nodded:

"When I called my father last night to report on company matters, he mentioned this to me casually."

Gu Zhi nodded before continuing:

"At that time, Sun Qin was the mistress. If she wanted to take over, my mother either had to divorce Shen Lifeng or die."

"There was no way Shen Lifeng would have divorced my mother back then."

"If it weren't for the fact that Shen Lifeng was discovered to be the illegitimate son of the Shen family after my mother's death, Shen Lifeng probably wouldn't have left the Gu family."

"That's why I suspect her the most."

"But I only knew this many people back then, not as many as you do, which is why I asked you to come here, to see if you can spot anything that was wrong back then."

"And please investigate this matter thoroughly for me."

Secretary Zhao immediately said:

"Don't worry, miss, I'll investigate!"

"Especially Cha Sunqin!"

"But something was off at the time..."

Secretary Zhao began to think back carefully.

"Nothing seems wrong. No, something's not right!"

Secretary Zhao clearly seemed to have remembered something.

He hurriedly said:

"Something's very wrong! Your mother's diary went missing back then!"

"We found it when we were helping the old man sort through your mother's belongings!"

"Your mother especially loves writing in her diary!"

"I write in my diary almost every day!"

"Your mother is very artistic."

"But at the time, everyone guessed that your mother threw away the diary or tore it up before she committed suicide, or something like that."

"Anyway, since we found out your mother committed suicide, we haven't seen any diary."

At this point, Secretary Zhao hurriedly added:

"Speaking of which, I just remembered something!"

"Shortly after your mother passed away, besides Shen Lifeng moving out of the Gu family home, there was another person who also left!"

Gu Zhi: "Who?"

Secretary Zhao immediately:

"An aunt who was specifically responsible for taking care of your mother's cats and dogs at the time."

"Your mother really likes keeping cats and dogs."

"But so many years have passed, those cats and dogs are all long gone."

"But that auntie either left after the cats and dogs died of old age, or she resigned and left not long after your mother passed away."

"The reason she resigned at the time was that... her son had already graduated from university, was working and earning money, and she didn't want her to work for someone else anymore."

Gu Zhi nodded:

"If someone resigns at that point, regardless of whether there are any problems, we should investigate that person."

"She was taking care of her mother's cats and dogs at the time, so she must have been frequently going in and out of her mother's room. It's possible that she was the one who changed the medication."

"If Mom didn't dispose of the diary herself, then it's possible that she took it."

Secretary Zhao: "Okay, I'll investigate her too!"

Gu Zhi:

"We also need to check the hospital that treated my mother back then."

"My grandfather loves my mother so much, I don't even need to think to know that he must have taken her to a reputable hospital and found the best psychologist."

"They are from reputable hospitals and have the best psychologists; it's unlikely they would harm anyone."

"But just in case, what if someone from the hospital is involved as well?"

"After all, that hospital has more than just that psychologist. From the time that doctor prescribed the medication to the time my mother received it, there were other people from the hospital involved in the process."

"In any case, let's look into this direction as well."

Secretary Zhao:

"At the time, we did see the best psychologist, and even that psychologist said that the depression had reached a severe stage and medication was necessary, which is why the doctor prescribed the medication."

"Don't worry, I'll also investigate in this direction."

Gu Zhi: "Then I'll trouble you."

Secretary Zhao: "Of course!"

He gets such a high salary from the Gu family.

Besides, it was his grandfather who helped him when his family was going through the most difficult time.
