Chapter 986: Why Should I Tell You?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Otherwise, how could Gu Jingyuan not have done anything illegal for so long yet all kinds of problems arose as soon as Yue Xiu took office?
When everyone left, Yue Ling slammed the table. “You’ve been investigating, Yue Feng. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“It’s nothing to do with you, so why bother to tell you?” Yue Feng said. “We’re almost done with the investigation now. Let’s leave it at that.”
“If anything happens to my daughter, I won’t let you off!” Lu Hui was very unreasonable.
“Instead of fighting with me, why don’t you take care of yourself and your family?” Yue Feng said and turned to leave.
Yue Ling looked at his wife and then at his son. He could tell that Yue Feng was giving him advice.
He pinched his brow fiercely.

Li Nan’s return filled Old Master Li with mixed feelings.
At the Li residence.
The entire family sat on the sofa and sighed softly when they heard Li Nan mention his experiences over the years.
Li Nan said calmly, “The past is the past. Fortunately, now that everyone has worked hard and obtained various pieces of evidence, I can finally return.”
“You won’t leave this time, will you?” Old Master Li said expectantly.
“I might still have to go back to my research. I’ll be back more often, though.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shi Jin. “Dad, fortunately, I’ve taken in a child like Shi Jin as my student all these years. She has surpassed me and is much better than me. My years of knowledge are not wasted with her. I don’t have children myself in this life, but having Shi Jin is enough to make me gratified.”
“Mr. Lambert, no, Uncle. I should call you Uncle,” Shi Jin said softly. “Thank you for all your years of upbringing.”
“You’re the one who’s impressive. Anyone who gets you as a student is lucky”
Shi Jin smiled.
Old Master Li still had a lot to say to Li Nan, so he had someone clean up a room for him.
Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan stood up and bade farewell. Gu Jingyuan walked out with them.
“Brother, have you not gone to see Sister-in-law yet?”
“I haven’t had time yet. I’ll go right now.”
“Go on.” Shi Jin smiled at him.
After Gu Jingyuan left, Shi Jin heaved a sigh of relief. “This time, Eldest Brother helped to cooperate. Qiao Zhuoli got involved and saw Old Madam Yue’s true colors. Only then did he finally believe all of this. I originally thought that the matter would take at least a year or two to be resolved, but I didn’t expect Old Madam Yue to be so crazy. Not long after she obtained the company, she started to cause trouble, allowing Qiao Zhuoli to see the truth as soon as possible.”
“She doesn’t have long to live, so she’s naturally anxious. Yue Xiu isn’t a patient person either, so she’ll naturally be exposed.”
“That’s good. That way Eldest Brother won’t have to suffer overseas.”
The two of them and Gu Jingyuan put on a show for Qiao Zhuoli. Fortunately, Qiao Zhuoli was smart and quickly realized the real situation.
Qiao Zhuoli was stubborn. He refused to believe the evidence given by outsiders. Only by giving up the company to Yue Xiu and letting her cause trouble would he have a chance to see this.
Qiao Zhuoli did not know this was all planned, and Liang Xinran was also kept in the dark. Therefore, Shi Jin was worried about Liang Xinran now.
“I wonder if Eldest Brother can make Sister-in-law believe him.”
Fu Xiuyuan smiled. “That’s his business.”

In the production team, Liang Xinran had just finished filming. The stage supervisor told her, “Let’s have a gathering tonight! The scenes for our supporting roles have been wrapped up. Everyone, please bid farewell briefly. Tomorrow, the main character will be wrapped up. The entire television drama will be fine!”
“Okay.” Liang Xinran nodded.
“Congratulations, Xinran!”
“Great, we’re finally done!”
She greeted anyone who came to talk to her with a smile.
Only when she was alone did she lower her eyes and reveal her disappointment.
After changing their clothes, everyone walked towards the gathering place.
Just as she arrived, she heard her manager run over anxiously and say, “Xinran, Xinran, look over there!”
She slowly turned around and saw the figure she had missed countless times standing at the door!
She stood up and ran towards Gu Jingyuan!
Gu Jingyuan held her in his arms.
Liang Xinran couldn’t help but cry. He was finally back, and he was safe and sound!
She could not help but feel agitated. Her eyes turned red again.
“Doctor Gu is here too?” The stage supervisor said, “Shall we eat together?”
“Okay.” Gu Jingyuan nodded and wiped away Liang Xinran’s tears.
When everyone saw him coming over, they hurriedly made way for him.
Liang Xinran quickly regained her composure.
Gu Jingyuan held her hand, but she quietly retracted it, her expression turning cold.
“Xinran?” Gu Jingyuan approached her, wanting to probe her emotions.
News of the Yue family had yet to spread, and Liang Xinran had no idea why he had returned.
It was rare for the director to see Gu Jingyuan appear. He held his wine glass and said, “Doctor Gu, it’s rare for you to come over. Let me toast you on behalf of the production team.”
Gu Jingyuan could only raise his glass.
When the others saw the director toast, they could not help but follow suit.
Gu Jingyuan did not get the chance to talk to Liang Xinran alone.
Liang Xinran lowered her head and ate in silence.
When the meal finally ended, everyone came over to greet each other and say goodbye.
Someone suggested, “Let’s sing a farewell song together!”
Although they did not spend a lot of time together, everyone developed feelings for each other after filming a television drama.
Everyone sang together, looking a little reluctant and moved.
Gu Jingyuan was a little tipsy. He looked up and sized up Liang Xinran. She lowered her eyes and looked down. However, because everyone’s expressions were similar, her emotions were not too special in everyone’s eyes.
“Goodbye everyone! See you next time.”
“I hope we can continue to cooperate next time~”
As everyone said their goodbyes, the dinner drew to a close.
The manager rushed over excitedly and said, “Xinran, I’ll get the chauffeur to send you back. I still have something on, so I’ll leave first.”
It was obvious that she wanted to leave time for Liang Xinran and Gu Jingyuan alone.
She escorted them to the nanny van.
The driver drove off smoothly.
Gu Jingyuan removed his tie and revealed his Adam’s apple. His slightly drunk breathing was mixed with a masculine scent that was unique to men. Liang Xinran’s ears felt a little hot.
She pursed her lips and said, “So you won’t be sent back to Canada this time?”
“Not anymore.”
“In other words, everything is fine now, right?”
“It’s fine. I’m sorry to have made you worry.” Gu Jingyuan reached out to tidy the hair on her forehead, but Liang Xinran avoided him.
His fingers missed.
Liang Xinran said softly, “Alright, let the driver send you home first. Then, don’t look for me if there’s nothing else.”
