With a glance, a single sentence, Lin Xiao understood that Luo Qinghan intended to keep Gu Yunyun for questioning!
He nodded then, "Mine, mine, how impolite... Mr. Gu, why don't you and your daughter join us for dinner? It just so happens that you've been in Shashi for so long and I haven't properly hosted you."
Gu Qingyun's expression froze. What was happening? Was he truly asking them to stay and eat?
Gu Yunyun, on the other hand, was quite pleased. Wasn't this perfect? Her objective had been achieved anyway.
Seeing Lin Xiao so happy, Luo Qinghan smiled slightly and poured Gu Yunyun a cup of tea from the pot on the table. "Yunyun, I heard you and Lin Xiao met a year ago."
"Yes, Sister Qinghan. That day, Brother Xiao stayed over at my place. He directly chose the room I usually sleep in and took a bath there. At the time, I was wondering if one of my girlfriends had come over," Gu Yunyun said. "Then, just as I was about to go to the bathroom to prank my friend, I realized something was wrong. It was right then that Brother Xiao came out."
"Huh?!" Lin Xiao's voice suddenly doubled in volume. He stared at Gu Yunyun, then at Gu Qingyun, who had just sat down. "Your room?"
"Of course, it was my room. Why else would I go to the bathroom?" Gu Yunyun said as a matter of course.
Now Lin Xiao couldn't hold back. He glared at Gu Qingyun. "Mr. Gu, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation for this matter."
Hadn't Gu Qingyun arranged that room for him back then? And now he was suddenly being told that room belonged to Gu Yunyun? If he had known it was Gu Yunyun's room, he would never have entered it!
Gu Qingyun looked bewildered. The room had indeed been arranged by him. No matter what, he wouldn't have assigned his own daughter's room to Lin Xiao for an overnight stay, would he?
He had asked the housekeeper to handle it, hadn't he? And now, a year later, they were suddenly saying it was his daughter's room that was assigned?
"This... the room was arranged by the housekeeper at the time..."
Gu Qingyun's face showed difficulty.
*Passing the buck?*
Lin Xiao glared at Gu Qingyun. This man, the head of the household, knew nothing?
"Husband, how could you not even recognize a young lady's room?" Luo Qinghan said.
Her words reminded Lin Xiao. He wasn't blind; he knew whether a room belonged to a woman or not. The room's layout was clearly that of a guest room, and there were no signs of anyone living there!
"I can confirm that there were no signs of habitation in that room back then. There wasn't even any of a girl's belongings in it," Lin Xiao said quickly. Just now, he had been doubting himself, thinking he might have made a mistake. Now, he was certain that Gu Yunyun was deliberately saying this!
Gu Qingyun also managed to get through to the housekeeper on the phone at this moment.
"Housekeeper Wang, last year when Mr. Lin was visiting our home, you arranged the room for him that night. Did you place him in the room next to Yunyun's?"
"Yes."
Housekeeper Wang's voice came from the phone. "That guest room was directly opposite Miss's room."
"Oh, I see."
Hearing this, Gu Qingyun nodded and hung up the phone with satisfaction.
The pressure now shifted to Gu Yunyun.
"Yunyun, this isn't right. You were the one who mistakenly entered Mr. Lin's room. How can you blame Mr. Lin now?" Gu Qingyun said, preparing to pull his daughter away.
