Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession

The dining table suddenly fell silent.

Gu Qingci still had a smile on his face as he looked at Mu Tiantian.

"Is it Mr. Bai?"

Mu Tiantian didn’t understand why her aunt didn’t directly say the name but referred to Bai Chenyao as Mr. Bai, as everyone did.

"Yes!"

A complex expression flashed across Gu Qingci’s eyes. He looked at Mu Tiantian and pursed his lips, hesitating to speak.

Zhang Yuexin, with sharp eyes, quickly spoke out, recalling what her daughter had told her.

"Ah, speaking of Mr. Bai, I suddenly remembered, Tiantian. I heard you first met Mr. Bai at the Imperial Dynasty Hotel, right?"

When Mu Tiantian looked at Zhang Yuexin, her gaze was icy. Zhang Yuexin was somewhat afraid, but now the Gu Family had a senior officer serving as deputy commander, and her courage had grown.

"Oh, Tiantian, why that look? Didn’t I say something truthful? I remember the news reports always said so!"

Ever since her marriage to Bai Chenyao became public, various stories about her and Bai Chenyao had been reported by journalists, but the story of them meeting at the Imperial Dynasty Hotel had never been covered.

"Are you sure you saw it in the news? Could you tell me which news agency, when you saw it, and how the article was written?"

Perhaps Gu Qingci and Feng Guodong hadn’t expected their previously obedient and shy niece to suddenly seem like a different person—cold, distant, and looking at Zhang Yuexin as if she were a stranger, or even an enemy.

Zhang Yuexin was a bit nervous, but having blurted it out, she couldn’t backtrack now without seeming cowardly.

"Well... it’s been a while, I can’t remember clearly, but because Mr. Bai’s identity is so unique, anyone associated with him is naturally investigated thoroughly. They said you met at the Imperial Dynasty Hotel, and that you were drinking at the time, went the wrong way... and encountered Mr. Bai!"

Zhang Yuexin’s eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment at the central part of that speech, seemingly not intending to say it out loud, even altering her words at a crucial moment.

But those present weren’t fools; they could easily understand the implied meaning in Zhang Yuexin’s words.

Gu Qingfeng’s face turned dark immediately.

"Zhang Yuexin, nobody thinks you’re mute just because you stay silent!"

Zhang Yuexin wouldn’t stand for it; whether in public or private, mentioning even a hint of criticism about his niece, Gu Qingfeng now wouldn’t give her any face.

If it weren’t for considering Gu Qingci as Gu Qingfeng’s sister, despite otherwise having a good relationship with her, Zhang Yuexin might have exploded due to their blood connection after all.

Red-faced, she glared at Gu Qingfeng, speaking loudly.

"I read it all in the news. Isn’t it okay to mention it? It was explosive news, the whole country knows!"

Mu Tiantian let out a sneer, looking at the righteous Zhang Yuexin.

"But I, the person involved, don’t know about it!"

Zhang Yuexin was about to refute when Gu Qingci spoke ahead of her.

"Alright, alright, the news reported by them is mostly their own speculation! Especially when it comes to Mr. Bai, who is an admirable figure. Now that it’s been revealed he’s getting married, and they haven’t had a chance to interview him, they naturally try to approach Tiantian for a story. Those news pieces, nine times out of ten, are deceitful!"

Zhang Yuexin opened her mouth, surprised by her sister-in-law’s words.

But obviously, her sister-in-law was protecting Mu Tiantian.
