Lin Zhibai answered irrelevantly: "In your opinion, where am I inferior to Murong Mo?"

Yun Suiwan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lin Zhibai was really obsessed.

What's the point of her thinking who's better? She's not choosing between them anyway.

"Do you want to get back together with Sister Fanyan?" she asked.

"Yes." Lin Zhibai didn't try to hide it.

“Then you have to let Sister Fanyan know how good you are,” Yun Suiwan said.

After a brief chat, Yun Suiwan left, worried that Gu Fanyan might become suspicious.

The two had almost finished eating, and Gu Fanyan was quite satisfied with the dishes.

“I wonder if there’s a garden here, and if it’s suitable for a wedding banquet,” Yun Suiwan suddenly said. “In terms of the food, it’s good enough for a wedding banquet.”

Gu Fanyan's eyes lit up with joy: "Lu Dongjue finally proposed to you!"

“I’m talking about you,” Yun Suiwan smiled. “You and Murong Mo have already met each other’s parents, so how far are we from having a wedding banquet?”

Sigh, even though I said I wouldn't interfere with Lin Zhibai, I still couldn't help but inquire for him.

Gu Fanyan smiled, said nothing, and then got up and went to the restroom.

As she came out of the restroom, she suddenly saw a figure flash past at the corner of the corridor, and it looked somewhat familiar.

She stopped, hesitated for a moment, then turned and left as if she hadn't seen anything.

"What's wrong?" She sat down, and Yun Suiwan immediately noticed that her expression was off.

“I saw Lin Zhibai,” she said, her face pale. “He flashed by and left. I don’t know if he saw me.”

Of course he saw you!

He even found out why you came here!

However, Yun Suiwan couldn't say much more!

“Sister Fanyan, actually, Lin Zhibai was also present when Yun Wanqing fell down the stairs that day. If anyone should be held responsible for this, he should also bear the main responsibility.”

Gu Fanyan lowered her gaze.

She was indeed waiting for Lin Zhibai to give her an explanation, but he hadn't shown up yet.

“It doesn’t matter,” she said, “whether he confesses or not, the outcome won’t change.”

Yun Suiwan thought that Lin Zhibai probably wanted to do or say something to Gu Fanyan.

But it's been so long, and he still hasn't personally found Gu Fanyan?

"Let's go." Gu Fanyan had already packed up.

"I...would like another cup of coffee."

Gu Fanyan smiled slightly, "Wanwan, do you want to buy Lin Zhibai some time?"

Yun Suiwan felt somewhat embarrassed when she realized she had been seen through. "I just think he should give you an explanation."

"Then I'll wait for him for another 10 minutes." Gu Fanyan didn't want to embarrass Yun Suiwan.

Yun Suiwan hopes that Lin Zhibai will appear.

No matter how much he does behind the scenes, it's not as effective as saying a word to someone's face.

However, several minutes passed, and Lin Zhibai still hadn't appeared.

Yun Suiwan couldn't help but want to send him a message, but then she thought that the Lin Zhibai she had invited might not be the Lin Zhibai that Gu Fanyan wanted.

So the matter was dropped.

Ten minutes later, Gu Fanyan got up and left.

Yun Suiwan also left.

At this moment, Lin Zhibai was in the private room, facing Yun Wanqing, who had been discovered by her assistant.

It was said that Yun Wanqing was lurking suspiciously in the corner of the restaurant, clearly up to no good.

"Tell me, what are you planning to do?" Lin Zhibai asked. "If you don't tell me, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today."

“I…I was following Yun Suiwan…” Yun Wanqing dared not look him in the eye.

"Why?"

"I owe a lot of money, so I have no choice but to try to find Yun Suiwan."

The assistant walked in from outside and whispered a few words in Lin Zhibai's ear.

The matter of Yun Wanqing's debt has been clarified.

Lin Zhibai scoffed lightly without any attempt to hide his disdain, "Yun Wanqing, you really know how to cause trouble."

Seeing his expression soften, Yun Wanqing felt a glimmer of hope. "Brother Zhibai, can you help me this time? You have no idea how ruthless that Brother Wang is!"

"Of course I know." Lin Zhibai shrugged.

Yun Wanqing's eyes shone even brighter: "Brother Zhibai!"

"If you help me this time, I promise I'll never touch these things again!"

"What you want to do is none of my business." However, Lin Zhibai's face was full of disdain. "Besides, haven't you tricked me enough? You really think I'm a fool!"

"If it weren't for Wanwan's sake, you would have disappeared from this world long ago!"

Yun Wanqing's heart skipped a beat. In Lin Zhibai's eyes, she saw a ruthlessness she had never seen before.

At that moment, she believed that Lin Zhibai truly wanted to kill her.

At this moment, another assistant quickly walked over and whispered a few words to Lin Zhibai.

Lin Zhibai nodded, got up, and left without looking back.

He had Yun Wanqing brought over because he was worried that she might do something to Gu Fanyan again.

Now that Gu Fanyan had left the restaurant, he had no more worries and left with peace of mind.

In the large private room, only Yun Wanqing remained.

Her gaze gradually turned resentful.

She heard everything the assistant said to Lin Zhibai.

He had himself brought here for Gu Fanyan's sake, fearing that she might hurt Gu Fanyan again.

A cold smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

Since you all treat Gu Fanyan like a treasure, I'll give you a big gift.

As Gu Fanyan drove her car closer to the gate of her garden, a figure suddenly jumped out and blocked her way.

Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Yun Wanqing.

Yun Wanqing's face was covered in tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked pitiful.

Gu Fanyan got out of the car, puzzled.

She wasn't unaware of the danger; she deliberately stopped several steps away from Yun Wanqing.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Sister Fanyan, please save me..." Yun Wanqing cried and shouted, and knelt down before Gu Fanyan with a thud.

Gu Fanyan was slightly taken aback.

"Sister Fanyan, I've lost everything. My fiancé is gone, my child is gone, and even the last bit of money my mother gave me is gone..." Yun Wanqing cried out, "I can't go on living..."

Gu Fanyan remembered, "I reminded you that day to stay away from Brother Wang."

"Also, I already know that your child is not Lin Zhibai's."

Gu Fanyan truly admired Yun Wanqing's shamelessness; even now, she could still come to her for help.

"I know, I know..." Yun Wanqing practically crawled over and grabbed Gu Fanyan's skirt. "Sister Fanyan, I regret not listening to you! Besides you, there's no one else in this world willing to help me!"

"Please, please help me one more time!"

"They just see me as a pitiful woman who has lost her child..."

Her helpless cries disturbed Gu Fanyan's peace of mind.

"I will not help you pay off your gambling debts," Gu Fanyan said, trying to calm herself down.

“I dare not make such a request,” Yun Wanqing shook her head vigorously. “Sister Fanyan, just give me a bite to eat!”

Gu Fanyan sighed softly to herself; she still couldn't get over the hurdle of "children."

“Alright, but I can only give you one salary.” She nodded. “Don’t kneel, get up first.”

Yun Wanqing wiped away her tears, stood up with profuse thanks, and swore to Gu Fanyan, "Sister Fanyan, I swear from now on I will start anew and be a good assistant to you!"

Gu Fanyan was slightly taken aback. When did she say that she would let Yun Wanqing be her assistant?
