Shi Keke had walked so distance before she rembered she might have seen that woman sowhere, so she turned back for a glance.
The woman was looking at her as well.
When their eyes t, the woman even smiled and nodded at her, seemingly unconcerned about the earlier collision.
But Shi Keke didn’t engage in much eye contact with her, her gaze lingering on the woman for just a second before moving away.
From afar, she saw Shen Cheng sitting by the window, and headed towards her.
"Sister-in-law."
Sitting down on the sofa, Shi Keke casually placed her bag beside her.
Shen Cheng acknowledged her with a hum and then glanced towards the cafe exit, "Do you rember her?"
Following Shen Cheng’s gaze, Shi Keke saw the back of the woman she had seen earlier and laughed, "I recognize her. I’ve seen her at your place before, said her na was Gu Liancheng."
Taking back her gaze, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile, "Good mory."
Shi Keke took a sip from the coffee on the table, "Actually, it has nothing to do with mory. When I first saw her just now, I didn’t recognize her."
"Then how did you know she’s Gu Liancheng?"
"Her smile, it’s too morable."
"Hmm?"
"To put it nicely, you’d call it profound. To put it unpleasantly, you’d call it scheming. Such a woman seems harmless on the surface, but is dark at heart. If you don’t cross her, she will show deference to you. But if you ever pose a threat or otherwise to her, she won’t hesitate to annihilate you."
"Truly fitting of a top lawyer, to deduce a person’s character from a single smile."
"Of course."
Shi Keke unapologetically took Shen Cheng’s words as a complint.
"Since you’re so good at analysis, I’ll trouble you to do another one for ."
As she spoke, Shen Cheng unlocked her phone, searched for the related information about Gu Liancheng’s scandal on Baidu, and then handed the phone to Shi Keke, speaking in a lower voice, "It’s rumored that Gu Liancheng was raped back then, but later she found the man who assaulted her to co forward and clarify, even getting a hospital certificate to prove her chastity. However, I suspect she fabricated the whole thing."
The reason Shen Cheng brought this up here was that when she ca, she deliberately chose a spot where there were few people, and it was also the ti when the cafe was most deserted with hardly anyone around.
Shi Keke took her phone, her slender fingers swiftly scrolling down the screen, skimming through the web pages at a glance.
Gu Liancheng, Nan’an Chief Design Director, international top-tier designer, representative work, Bright Star...
A few years ago, she was harassed by so hoodlums and suspected to have been gang-raped.
It was later confird that the incident was a malicious rumor spread by criminals to ruin her reputation.
After reading through the material related to Gu Liancheng, Shi Keke closed the webpage and handed the phone back to Shen Cheng.
She paused for a second, then spoke, "When one person doubts another, there’s often an essential factor involved, which is a conflict of interest. Sister-in-law, you’ve only taken over Nan An for less than ten days, and you didn’t know Gu Liancheng before that, so there shouldn’t have been any interactions between you two, let alone conflict. But you investigating her now proves there’s more to it. If you trust , sister-in-law, tell what you’re really looking into, and I’ll help you."
