Gu Momo's body swayed precariously, and all of this was witnessed by the Ye family.

Seeing that Gu Momo's expression was not right, Li Zhanting quickly helped her to the side and poured her some water.

He then looked at Mo Feng: "Are you sure Li Mo is really in trouble?"

But Mo Feng's face was filled with grief: "Yes! He was already seriously injured, he couldn't possibly survive..."

Li Zhanting frowned, his expression slightly gloomy, and then slowly helped Mo Feng up: "Okay, Momo and I already know about this. You've been tired these past few days, so go back and get some rest. Leave the rest to Momo and me."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his subordinates, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately jumped out and helped Mo Feng up.

"Help him down first." As he spoke, he patted Mo Feng's shoulder deeply. "Mo Feng, you have done your best to handle this matter well, so don't feel guilty. Even if there were mistakes, they should be attributed to the mistakes made by Mo Mo and me in planning."

"So don't think about anything for now, go back and rest and recuperate, understand?"

Looking into Li Zhanting's deep and resolute eyes, Mo Feng seemed to feel a surge of power.

He nodded emphatically: "Yes, Master Ting!"

After speaking, he looked apologetically at Gu Momo and Li Zhanting again before leaving the Ye family hall with the help of his subordinates.

An eerie silence suddenly filled the Ye family's hall, but Ye Rong broke it first:

"Mr. Li, Ms. Gu, please accept our condolences. This is not your fault; death is a matter of fate."

Li Zhanting just smiled casually and then exchanged a few polite words with Ye Rong.

Seeing that Li Zhanting and Gu Momo were chatting easily with Ye Rong, the rest of the Ye family frowned and then reported:

"Patriarch, since you two get along so well, please continue your conversation. We'll be leaving now!"

"We're going to find that brat Ye Meng right away. You, Master, should just entertain Mr. Li and Miss Gu properly! Humph!"

Although it was supposed to be a hospitality event, it was easy to see from their words and actions that they disliked Li Zhanting and Gu Momo.

Ye Rong smiled slightly: "Please forgive me, both of you. It was my poor hospitality."

"You're welcome. We were the ones who disturbed you."

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting stayed there to learn about the Ye family's recent situation from Ye Rong, and soon after, they also said goodbye and left.

Stepping out of the hall, Gu Momo seemed to have finally improved her spirits, and even her complexion had become slightly rosy.

Seeing that no one was around, Li Zhanting quickly pulled Gu Momo to a corner and touched her cheek worriedly.

"MoMo, are you alright?"

Gu Momo suddenly burst out laughing: "How could I possibly have a problem? I did pretty well just now, didn't I?"

Li Zhanting's lips twitched: "You scared me."

These words made Gu Momo laugh through her tears. She quickly lowered her voice and leaned close to Li Zhanting's ear: "By the way, we probably still need to go see that Steward Zhenqiao. I don't know if you remember, when we visited Grandpa Qiao in the village last time, after Grandpa Qiao was exposed, he fought with you and accidentally dropped a token on the ground."

“Of course I remember this.” Li Zhanting chuckled, took the token out of his pocket, and put it into Gu Momo’s hand.

Gu Momo carefully picked up the token and examined it. She had indeed remembered correctly.

Although the token that Grandpa Qiao was wearing was a replica, it was exactly the same as the token that the Shao family steward had worn many years ago.

Gu Momo smiled and said, "Our master just said that Steward Zhenqiao is his elder and was a servant of the Shao family. So he should have seen the token worn by the former steward of the Shao family. Why don't we go and ask him? Maybe we can find out something."

"Butler Zhenqiao just went out. We'll go find him as soon as he gets back."

"good!"

Gu Momo immediately returned to the courtyard where she lived with Li Zhanting, but not long after, she received a call from Fu Ying.

Upon learning of Fu Ying's location, Gu Momo immediately rushed to the phone booth closest to Black Mountain and found Fu Ying lying unconscious on the ground, her consciousness blurred.

Fortunately, after examination, her body was fine. She had just exhausted herself and caught a cold from being caught in the rain the night before, which caused her to faint from exhaustion.

Gu Momo took her back to the hotel and stayed by her bedside.

"Sister?" She saw Gu Momo sleeping by the bedside and tried to get up, her body still tired.

Hearing the noise, Gu Momo, a light sleeper, immediately woke up and pressed her back onto the bed, saying, "Lie down properly, your fever has just subsided, don't move around."

"Sister...I..." Realizing she had been brought back to the hotel and was being so carefully cared for by Gu Momo, all her grievances welled up at that moment. Unable to contain her sorrow any longer, she hugged Gu Momo and burst into tears.

"Sister, why, why did it turn out like this? Why do I seem so worthless and despised by Ye Sijue?"

Gu Momo had no idea what had happened between them, but just now, when she was helping Fu Ying change into her pajamas, the room service came to inform her that in addition to some abrasions, bruises, and mosquito bites, Fu Ying also had several hickeys and bite marks.

She knew what these things meant, of course. She was afraid that Fuying had encountered thugs on her way back, but then she thought that Fuying had been training with her for a long time, and ordinary thugs should not be a match for her.

But what she didn't expect was that the melodramatic plots from idol dramas would actually happen to her.

Ye Sijue and Fu Ying had a relationship, and it was an unusual one at that.

She gently patted Fuying's back to comfort her, "Fuying, you are not bad. You are better and more perfect than anyone else. Ye Sijue doesn't cherish you, that's his problem. You should never doubt yourself."

"Is that really the case? But... no matter what I do, why doesn't he like me? It's all just wishful thinking on my part, and even he..." Fu Ying didn't finish her sentence. Just thinking about Ye Sijue's reactions last night and the next day made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"That's the point. You don't need to please him for anyone, and you shouldn't change yourself for anyone. In the future, you will meet a good man who knows how to cherish you, love you, and take care of you. It's just a matter of time."

"But sister, I...I only like Ye Sijue."

As she spoke, she chuckled self-deprecatingly, "It's kind of funny when I think about it. I've been by my sister's side for so long, but I still haven't learned her decisiveness. If it were my sister, she would probably have given up long ago, right?"

Fu Ying's voice grew softer and softer, until finally, when Ye Sijue's name was mentioned, it was almost inaudible.

What could she do? When she was homeless before, it was Ye Sijue who saved her.

If it weren't for Ye Sijue protecting her, it's hard to say whether she would have survived.
