Wen's mother reached out and patted Wen Yi, quite solemnly.
Wen Yi did not respond, but looked up at the starry sky.
She could understand her parents' desire for the family to prosper and have a place in Haicheng, but she couldn't understand why they would sacrifice their daughter and ignore their parents' deaths for the sake of this so-called place.
For Wen Yi, no reason could make up for his indifference and apathy towards his parents' death as a child.
"Wen Yi, tomorrow when Young Master Gu's plane lands, arrange for Wen Ge to pick him up, so that the two of them can have a chance to be alone together."
Wen's mother said, "With Wen Ge's abilities, as long as there is a chance for the two of them to be alone, she can rekindle Young Master Gu's desire for her."
Wen glanced to the side and saw that her mother's eyes were full of confidence in Wen Ge.
In her eyes, everything about Wen Ge was good.
Even if Wen Ge has some flaws, her mother can always find a reason to defend her and even deal with any trouble for her.
In short, there is an unconditional and unreasonable favoritism towards Wen Ge.
It's a lie to say Wen Yi isn't jealous.
Why was she never loved by anyone when she was little?
Why is it that even though she tries so hard and is so well-behaved, no one still cares about her?
Even at this point, she still felt a sense of loss and sadness. Wen Yi smiled bitterly and suppressed these emotions.
She looked away and said, "I'm afraid that's not appropriate."
"Why?" Mrs. Wen frowned in disgust. "Isn't this a great opportunity?"
"If Wen Ge goes to the airport to pick up Young Master Gu, it will only make the other party think that Wen Ge is waiting in advance. Young Master Gu has never liked being schemed against in advance."
"Then let's change the reason to a coincidence, like Wen Ge just happened to be going to the airport, or Wen Ge coming back from outside that day."
“Mom,” Wen Yi interrupted her mother, “If Wen Ge runs into Young Master Gu at the airport, she will have to leave. When Young Master Gu comes to the funeral, he won’t be able to meet Wen Ge. And because Wen Ge has a role to play, she is not allowed to go out during this period. Young Master Gu will find out once he investigates, which will arouse his suspicion.”
"This won't work, that won't work, what should we do?" Mrs. Wen asked impatiently. "Don't you have a solution?"
"There is a way."
"Can't you just finish what you're saying? You always beat around the bush and don't get to the point."
As soon as Wen's mother finished speaking, she immediately realized her tone was problematic and softened her voice, "I know you are very anxious about the Wen family's foothold in Haicheng. You are always afraid that something unexpected will happen. You know Haicheng is a city that eats people up without spitting out the bones."
“Mom, I know,” Wen Yi said, expressing her understanding.
"Then tell me your solution?"
"When Young Master Gu got into his car at the airport, I got out and we said goodbye in a hurry."
"Vehicles aren't allowed to linger at the airport entrance, so we had to say goodbye quickly... How can we get him to come back?"
"Mom, don't worry, this is more effective than giving Young Master Gu a long talk about how someone in my family died."
Wen's mother was unable to answer Wen Yi's question for a moment.
Especially the last sentence, "Someone in the family died," made Wen's mother feel somewhat uneasy.
After much deliberation, Wen's mother asked Wen Yi again, "Are you... are you sure he'll come?"
"He definitely will," Wen Yi affirmed.
Wen's mother was still somewhat hesitant, but seeing how certain Wen Yi was, even with many doubts, she didn't know what questions to ask at this moment.
Wen Yi reminded her, "Mom, it's late, you should get some sleep first. I'll keep an eye on things here."
Wen looked up and glanced at the two coffins in the hall.
In my hometown, there's a custom that if an elderly person isn't ready for their funeral, the candles offered at the funeral cannot be turned off while they're still there; someone has to keep watch over them all night long.
Wen's mother had been worried about Wen Ge, and now that Wen brought it up, she was indeed sleepy.
"If you're tired, just wake me up and I'll take over for you," Wen's mother reminded her.
“Okay, Mom,” Wen Yi replied.
Wen's mother didn't say much, got up and went inside to sleep.
The soundproofing in the small house in her hometown was very poor. Wen Yi soon heard her mother snoring from the inner room, indicating that she was sleeping soundly.
Wen turned around and looked at her grandparents lying quietly in the coffin.
"Grandpa and Grandma, I now understand why you insist on living in your old home."
When Wen Yi was taken away, her parents arranged for her maternal grandparents to live in Haicheng, but they refused and insisted on living in their hometown.
At the time, some neighbors said that my grandparents were being unreasonable. Their children had good futures and wanted them to come and enjoy life with them, but instead they didn't know how to live a good life and insisted on staying in their old home.
At that time, my grandparents would just laugh off such comments, but there was a hint of bitterness in their smiles that most people couldn't see.
Now, Wen understood.
Wen Yi smiled wryly and looked away, only to find her view blocked. Suddenly, someone stood in front of Wen Yi, and what Wen Yi saw was a pair of slender, long legs.
Looking up, I saw the man's face covered with scars and burns.
It's strange, even from this angle, the face doesn't look particularly dead, and there's actually no sign of excess fat on the face.
Wen Yi was surprised by his arrival. "You, what brings you here?"
Gu Huaixu knelt down next to Wen Yi, his hands casually resting on his knees. "There are too many people during the day, and even more people will be there for the encoffining later on, so it's not convenient for me to be present."
Wen Yi was somewhat surprised to hear this.
She could interpret it as him being there because he couldn't be there during the day or for the subsequent wedding ceremony, so he was taking advantage of the fact that no one was around to be with her now.
Such an idea was immediately nipped in the bud by Wen Yi.
If it's Ah Xu, Wen Yi believes it.
But he wasn't.
He was just like Master Gu from the Imperial Garden of Ah Xu. This Master Gu never did anything aimless or boring. The fact that he was keeping her company like this must mean something.
Wen Yi didn't ask any more questions, shifted her gaze, and stared at the sky.
She was waiting for Second Master Gu's next move.
Like a mother, after expressing concern, she reveals her purpose.
Before Wen Yi could hear anything more from Master Gu, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Wen Yi's head, then made Wen Yi lean her head against his shoulder.
Wen Yi struggled with her consciousness.
Gu Huaixu reminded him, "It's late, lean on my shoulder and sleep for a while."
"No……"
"Refusing is useless."
The man glanced at Wen Yi, his attitude domineering.
But it was this one glance that touched Wen Yi's heart and made her think of Gu Huaixu.
Ah Xu often looked at her like that, but when you think about it, there weren't many times.
It's such a pity that the time Wen Yi spent with Gu Huaixu was so short. During that time, Wen Yi felt a lot of pressure and began to reject and distance herself from Gu Huaixu.
If possible, Wen Yihao hopes to learn more about A Xu.
Learn a little about what he likes to eat and what he likes to do, and also learn more about why Ah Xu studied medicine, and why he likes me...
