Thinking of Gu Huaixu, Wen Yi's heart was filled with regret, heartache, and helplessness...
So many emotions.
Before the tears could fall, Wen Yi quickly closed her eyes.
Gu Huaixu looked down at her trembling eyelashes, then reached out and covered Wen Yi's eyes. His palms were warm, and covering Wen Yi's eyes helped relieve the soreness in her eyes.
Wen Yi should have pushed her away, but she didn't.
She's quite into relationships like that.
As long as we cover our eyes, the person we can rely on now is Ah Xu.
When she was at her lowest and most helpless, leaning on Ah Xu was a kind of comfort and a chance to rest.
...
The next day.
Master Gu left before Mother Wen woke up. People in the countryside go to bed early and get up early. Relatives living in the countryside gathered in the courtyard early in the morning to discuss the follow-up details. The women were busy in the kitchen, preparing snacks and meals for the relatives who came to help.
Mrs. Wen wasn't very hands-on; she was used to being a wealthy socialite. If Mr. Wen hadn't reminded her that it wasn't good to bring the servants back to her hometown to handle these matters, Mrs. Wen would have simply let the servants take care of everything.
"Didn't I tell you to call me last night?" After chatting with someone, Wen's mother took the opportunity to walk over to Wen Yi's side.
Wen Yi said, "I was thinking, I'm not sleepy either..."
"At least wake me up when it's light. What kind of impression will it make if others come over and see me still sleeping?"
Wen's mother frowned, her words implying that Wen Yi hadn't woken her up, making her lose face in front of these relatives.
Wen Yi smiled wryly, "I'll call them tomorrow."
“Wen Ge will be keeping watch here tomorrow night, so I need to go back,” Wen’s mother said, while reminding him, “Isn’t Young Master Gu coming tonight? If he comes and sees Wen Ge keeping watch alone, that would be great, as it would give the two of them a good opportunity to spend time together.”
Therefore, Wen Ge's night watch was simply to give Gu Dashao a chance to spend time with her.
"Mom, you and Wen Ge have worked so hard so that our Wen family can gain a foothold among the elite families in Haicheng."
There was sarcasm in Wen Yi's words, but Wen's mother didn't hear it. Instead, she felt that Wen Yi was finally able to understand her and Wen Ge's good intentions.
Wen's mother patted Wen Yi on the shoulder and said with emotion, "I am really gratified that you can understand these things."
Wen smiled and didn't continue to communicate with her mother.
After that, my hometown remained lively.
After communicating with Xiao Kongkong, Wen Yi accurately calculated the time when Gu Zeyu would land, so Wen Yi simply asked Xiao Kongkong to pick her up at the airport.
At 7:05 p.m., Wen Yi's car arrived at the airport.
As she got out of the car and took the luggage that Xiao Kongkong had brought her, she turned around and saw Gu Zeyu walking out surrounded by his assistants.
Because they had timed their meeting perfectly with Gu Zeyu, their encounter was a direct eye contact, a face-to-face meeting.
Gu Zeyu looked surprised and stopped in his tracks.
Gu Zeyu and Wen Yi haven't seen each other since the day of the homecoming banquet.
Gu Zeyu looked at Wen Yi's expression and felt it wasn't quite right. After all, on the day of the homecoming banquet, Gu Zeyu had acted as a righteous hero and tried to break Wen Yi's leg for Wen Ge's sake.
Later, Master Gu appeared, and the matter was resolved.
Afterwards, Wen Yi deliberately posted a WeChat Moments post that was only visible to Gu Zeyu, expressing some feelings and hinting that there were some hidden stories on the day of the homecoming banquet, which gradually made Gu Zeyu feel suspicious and guilty.
Wen Yi smiled at Gu Zeyu and said, "Young Master Gu, what a coincidence."
Gu Zeyu felt a little embarrassed, as if he had nowhere to hide, and his smile wasn't quite natural. "Okay, what a coincidence."
"You, what is this...?"
"I need to go to Nanshi to handle some post-production work related to Wen Ge," Wen Yi explained, then sighed, looking sad and hesitant.
Seeing this, Gu Zeyu blurted out, "What's wrong?"
Wen Yi tried to speak, but finally shook her head, "It's nothing, I have to go."
Just as Wen Yi was about to walk past Gu Zeyu, Gu Zeyu reached out and grabbed Wen Yi's arm. "What happened? If you need help, you can tell me."
Wen Yi smiled bitterly, "No, it's just... my grandparents passed away, and they're being buried tomorrow. It's windy and rainy tonight, and I'm worried that the people keeping vigil won't be focused and the candles will go out. The old folks say that if the candles go out, the old people won't have a good time."
Wen Yi had no tears, but she still lowered her head and pretended to wipe them away.
Gu Zeyu was surprised by the old man's birth and felt deeply apologetic, "I'm sorry..."
“If it weren’t for Wen Ge’s work that required me to go, I really wouldn’t want to leave…” Wen Yi shook her head. “Young Master Gu, I’ll be leaving now. I need to come back tomorrow morning.”
After speaking, Wen Yi broke free from Gu Zeyu's hand and, without waiting for Gu Zeyu's response, quickly entered the airport.
Gu Zeyu looked at Wen Yi's back, wanting to say something but holding back, until his assistant came over to remind him that there were time restrictions on parking at the entrance and that Gu Zeyu should get in the car.
Gu Zeyu got into the car with no other choice.
As the car set off, Gu Zeyu thought for a long time before finally calling to confirm the exact news of the Wen family elder's passing and to investigate Wen Yi. He confirmed that Wen Yi was indeed on a flight to Nanshi an hour later and had bought a ticket to return to Haicheng at six o'clock the next morning.
All the information is ready.
Finally, Gu Zeyu sent the driver the address of Wen Yi's hometown, "Go this way."
The driver was somewhat surprised, "Young Master, Madam wants you to go home as soon as you get off the plane..."
I told her I had something to do and wouldn't be going home that night.
Gu Zeyu said, then put his phone on silent mode so that he wouldn't be able to answer Mrs. Gu's calls.
Even though the driver felt it was inappropriate, he still drove to the countryside as Gu Zeyu had suggested.
...
As soon as Wen got off the plane, Xiao Kongkong sent her a message informing her that Gu Zeyu had gone to his hometown after leaving the airport.
Because Wen's mother had made arrangements in advance, only Wen Ge and Gu Zeyu were left to keep watch that night.
The wind and rain were heavy tonight. A lone man and woman spent the night together. If someone sees them behaving intimately tomorrow, their relationship will be in serious jeopardy.
When Wen's mother told Wen Yi about the progress, her voice was filled with excitement.
He praised Wen Yi several times.
She also indicated that tomorrow was a pre-arranged time, and that she, Wen's father, and some elders from Haicheng who had a good relationship with the Wen family would all be present.
"Mom, remember to tell Wen Ge to try her best so that when everyone enters, they can see the scene and mislead people, forcing Young Master Gu to admit it."
Wen offered a suggestion, "Oh, right, remember to invite Madam Gu to the funeral, otherwise many things won't be valid."
"Will Madam Gu attend?"
"Yes, Mom, just invite me."
"Okay, I understand," Wen's mother replied, praising Wen Yi as well, because she was in a good mood.
Wen Yi hung up the phone and gave a cold laugh.
If more people see Wen Ge and Gu Zeyu behaving intimately tomorrow, especially if Madam Gu sees them, and if the Wen family forces the Gu family to acknowledge their relationship, the Wen family is doomed.
