Gu Juexi had already gotten the hairdryer ready when Ye Yuwei got out of the shower. Ye Yuwei laid her head in Gu Juexi’s lap happily and enjoyed him drying her hair for her.
“What were you going to say?” asked Ye Yuwei. She was going to read a book but was forced to listen to Gu Juexi instead when he put her book away.
“Nalan Jing used to have a crush on Wen Lan,” Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei and said.
Ye Yuwei didn’t look surprised at the information. It would all make sense if Nalan Jing who used to have a crush on Wen Lan turned out to be the culprit.
It made perfect sense.
“It was also Nalan Jing who bought both the love stones,” Gu Juexi continued.
Ugh…
What was Nalan Jing thinking?
Did he fall for two women at the same time?
Did it mean that he loved Wen Lan more since he chose to give her aunt the cursed sapphire?
“What was he trying to do by giving my aunt the blood diamond?” asked Ye Yuwei, her expression darkened.
“There are two possibilities: either he loved Wen Lan and hoped that your aunt died, or Wen Lan switched the diamonds,” Gu Juexi explained.
“Hold on,” Ye Yuwei interrupted Gu Juexi and began to sort out the storyline, “the secret of the sapphire was that a rich man hired a gem smith to make a set of jewelry for his pregnant fiancée without knowing that the sapphire was cursed, and his fiancée fell victim to the curse and died. Was the beloved fiancée my aunt?”
Gu Juexi had been thinking the same thing. Two stones, two women. One of them died, while the other continued to live a luxurious life.
“I have to remind you that Nalan Jing is taking revenge for your aunt now,” said Gu Juexi.
“Doesn’t that mean that the beloved fiancée was indeed my aunt?” Ye Yuwei said while getting up from Gu Juexi’s lap and sat down on the bed with her legs crossed.
“Do you really think that Nalan Jing was taking revenge for my aunt?”
“What do you mean?”
“We killed an impersonator of Wen Lan at sea,” said Ye Yuwei with a straight face, “and he showed up only after we killed the impersonator.”
Gu Juexi frowned. Two stones, two women; one of them had a ruined reputation, while the other seemed to be dead.
It had always been two at a time, and it made things difficult for them to deduce the person that Nalan Jing was actually going after.
“Looks like a dead end,” Ye Yuwei sighed as she looked at Gu Juexi with her hand on her chin.
“What was he trying to imply by ‘eyeless’ then?” asked Gu Juexi suddenly.
“I have a feeling that it was Wen Lan who killed my aunt,” said Ye Yuwei, who then changed her mind when she saw Gu Juexi looking at her as if she was crazy. “I was just kidding, just kidding. I know that your grandmother admitted it was her.”
“It would be great if we could see Nalan Jing and clear our doubts once and for all,” said Ye Yuwei contemplatively.
“Do you think he would clear our doubts once and for all?” Gu Juexi scoffed and dragged Ye Yuwei back onto his lap to continue drying her hair for her.
He met Nalan Jing today and none of the things he said were true.
“Then again, Nalan Jing wouldn’t be a good guy if he really agreed to what Wen Lan asked of him just because he liked her,” said Ye Yuwei while crossing her legs.
