Picking Up a Gorgeous CEO for a Wife
Chapter 2020: 【 - 】Bluffing Through
Even Yang Hui couldn’t help but gasp, "Damn, I didn’t expect Zhou Lan to be so charming! If I had known this earlier, I should have taken Zhou Lan down back then!"
Yang Hui patiently explained, "Sister Lan, here’s the thing, there’s a high chance that Yang Xiong is an imposter. He might not be your husband.
I need to take him back to the Yang mansion to investigate thoroughly.
If Yang Xiong is innocent, I believe father will clear his name."
Zhou Lan said sternly, "Young Master, how could my man possibly be fake? No need for anyone else’s verification! And besides, my man didn’t even have time to go out today!
How could he possibly be the person you are looking for?"
"Perhaps, Yang Xiong went out while you were asleep," Yang Hui said with a smile.
"Asleep? How could I be asleep? Saint Heir, Elders, please think this through. My Yang Xiong just finished his task of guarding the outer formation, which rotates weekly."
After saying this, a blush aptly appeared on Zhou Lan’s face.
The majority showed understanding expressions, their eyes constantly shifting between Qin Yu and Zhou Lan.
"A week? What does a week prove?" Yang Hui looked puzzledly at Zhou Lan.
Zhou Lan rolled her eyes, "Young Master, since you are not married, you wouldn’t understand, but all the Elders here should, right?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Elder Wei Yan laughed, "Hehe... I knew quite well when I was young, but now that I’m older, not so much! I really envy you young people!"
"Looking at Lanlan’s complexion, I’m somewhat convinced by the saying ’absence makes the heart grow fonder’!" Xiao Zhan said with a radiant smile.
Now that it was put so clearly, Yang Hui would be a fool not to understand!
Yang Hui looked at Qin Yu with a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment, "Damn, back in the day, Zhou Lan was one of the four beauties of the Heavenly Secret Sect! She had countless suitors, I don’t know why Zhou Lan chose the dull Yang Xiong."
"Sister Lan, this is just your side of the story. We have no idea what exactly happened between you two last night! You are Yang Xiong’s family, your testimony can’t be fully trusted."
Zhou Lan smiled slightly, "Actually, what happened last night is quite obvious."
Obvious? Everyone was momentarily stunned, not understanding what Zhou Lan meant.
"How can you prove it?" Yang Hui looked bewilderedly toward Zhou Lan.
"Young Master, you’ll know as soon as you step into the bedroom," Zhou Lan rolled her eyes at Yang Hui, then opened the bedroom door.
Everyone looked towards the bedroom cluelessly, not knowing what Zhou Lan wanted them to see. Soon, a look of realization dawned on their faces!
Qin Yu’s lips twitched uncontrollably, "God, Zhou Lan really went all out to save him! I can’t imagine how Zhou Lan managed to use so much toilet paper."
"It seems Yang Xiong indeed didn’t have the time to commit the crime, I must have been wrong. Let’s go."
Upon hearing Yang Hui’s words, Zhou Lan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. That was close!
She had been sleeping so soundly just now, she had no idea whether Yang Xiong had gone out or not. Lying in front of the Young Master and so many Elders was truly thrilling!
Thankfully, she had managed to bluff her way through!
Just when Zhou Lan thought the issue was over for today, Qin Yu suddenly spoke up.
"Young Master, are you just going to leave like this?"
Huh?
Qin Yu’s words left everyone stunned. What was going on? Had Yang Xiong lost his mind? To have avoided being taken to the Yang mansion was lucky enough, but now he dared to add more complications?
"Do you have something else?" Yang Hui looked indifferently at Yang Xiong, by now he also felt that Yang Xiong probably wasn’t the intruder to the Yang mansion, since that person was so formidable while Yang Xiong was so weak.
