Kapitel 257: 258: Incompetent

Gu Qichen did not hesitate. "I understand Manbing's character. Although she may be brash and wilful, she would not stoop so low."

Xia Yangyang suddenly smiled.

Just as she had imagined.

Gu Qichen chose to believe in Shen Manbing without hesitation.

She didn't need to ask the rest of the questions.

She did not have any concrete evidence to accuse Shen Manbing of setting her up.

But Gu Qichen's trust in Shen Manbing was clear to her. Gu Qichen believed she didn't steal the necklace because "she didn't have the capability".

Xia Yangyang took off the gemstone necklace from around her neck and put it into Gu Qichen's hands, "This is too precious, I cannot accept it."

Gu Qichen's face cooled slightly. "What are you doing? Since I've bought it, who else should I give it to if not you?"

"You can give it to whoever you like."

Gu Qichen stared at Xia Yangyang, his eyes filled with icy laughter. Then he uttered two words, "Very well."

On the ride home, neither of them spoke.
