Sheng Man and her family already have everything, but they never knew how to cherish it. Instead, they chose to cater to their greed, swallowing more than they could take and doing heinous things to achieve their goals.

Nie Jiqing’s face darkened with grievance and rage; she had been wronged for too long. Not only did she want to take back what those people took from their family, but she also wanted to make them pay the price they deserve.

After Ye Zhi realized that there was something amiss with Sheng Man, she told Gu Ren about the incident. After Gu Ren thought for a while, he also felt that Sheng Man was rather abnormal.

After the two discussed, they decided to send someone to investigate the interactions between Sheng Man and Sheng Lian to see what they were trying to pull off.

If they found something unusual, they would also take necessary measures.

In the evening, Gu Ren and Ye Zhi both arrived home as the butler prepared dinner.

Gu Ren and Ye Zhi were sitting across from each other at the dining table. Ye Zhi looked at Gu Ren’s breathtakingly handsome face, but instead of feeling happy, she felt slightly melancholic in her heart.

She was going to play the role of a girl with anorexia. After Gu Ren knew about it, he formulated a healthy weight-loss meal for her.

It would appropriately reduce her weight, but it would not affect her health.

Ye Zhi was already considered really thin, but after having a healthy diet for a period of time, her weight dropped immensely. Later, she went to see the director. After seeing Ye Zhi, the director still suggested that she could lose a little more weight.

In this way, the best effect could be presented on the screen.

Ye Zhi had no choice but to comply. She kept it a secret from Gu Ren and secretly reduced her appetite and ate less than usual. He remained clueless about this.

Today, Gu Ren was going home for dinner, which meant that he would see her true food intake. He would then know that she didn’t follow his diet plan he especially prepared for her.

While Ye Zhi was indulging in her thoughts, the butler had already brought the meal. It was apparent that the meals for Gu Ren and Ye Zhi were rather different.

From the moment the meals were placed on the tables, Gu Ren’s expression darkened.

Gu Ren glanced at her designated meal. There were three plates in front of Ye Zhi, but the contents of each plate were much less than what he had imagined.

Gu Ren’s eyes dimmed. When did Ye Zhi stop eating the healthy diets that he prepared?

Ye Zhi was feeling a little bit guilty. She silently attempted to pass through this hurdle and lowered her head slightly to have a bite of her meal—all the while not daring to look at Gu Ren.

The atmosphere was very quiet and Ye Zhi felt that something was amiss. She raised her head to look at Gu Ren and just so happened to meet his steady gaze.

Ye Zhi’s mind blanked for a moment and then upon realizing she had no hope of passing this matter in a breeze, she racked her brain and frantically tried to make an excuse, “I usually eat a lot more than I am now, I just don’t have that much of an appetite now.”

The more Ye Zhi spoke, the softer her voice became, “That’s why I’m eating so little today…”

The atmosphere was very quiet.

A few seconds later, Gu Ren turned his head and looked at the butler. He flatly asked, “When I’m not at home, does Madam usually eat so little?”

Gu Ren then changed his tone and added another question, “Or as she said, she’s only eating so little today?”

Ye Zhi panicked and looked at the butler pleadingly.

The butler met Ye Zhi’s gaze and she desperately winked at him. The butler hesitated, pondering whether or not he should tell the truth.

When the butler turned his head to meet Gu Ren’s indifferent gaze, the butler immediately decided to betray Ye Zhi and directly confessed, “Madam’s small appetite was a daily occurrence; it was not limited to today only.”

Now that the matter had become as clear as day, Ye Zhi knew she was doomed.
