Gu Huaixu looked at Wen Yi in silence.
She looked away and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eye.
At this point, not a single tear will make a difference.
Wen Yi readjusted her emotions and looked at Master Gu, wanting a definite answer, "Is it okay?"
Gu Huaixu remained silent, simply watching Wen Yi, who was clearly very sad but was desperately trying to suppress her emotions.
Even he felt affected this time, and was upset.
Gu Huaixu reached into his pocket, took out a cigarette, but didn't touch the lighter.
Wen Yi found a lighter next to him and gave it to him.
Gu Huaixu frowned. "Do you usually smoke?"
"I was thinking of drawing it before, so I just grabbed it casually, but I didn't actually draw it," Wen Yi said truthfully.
"Why didn't you go?" Gu Huaixu asked.
He fiddled with the lighter, showing no intention of lighting it.
Wen Yi chuckled, "Some people probably won't like it, so I don't want to smoke."
Ah Xu probably doesn't like it.
In Wen Yi's opinion, Gu Huaixu never smoked in front of her. Even when he had a craving for a cigarette, he would just play with it.
Therefore, Wen Yi didn't want to do things that Gu Huaixu disliked.
Now, Wen Yi didn't want to discuss this topic with Master Gu.
"Can you help me investigate this? I need to confirm Gu Huaixu's death." Wen Yi steered the conversation toward this topic.
She stared silently at Second Master Gu, waiting for an answer.
"What information do you want to know?" Gu Huaixu asked.
"I need to know how the second young master of the Gu family died, how his funeral was held, and where he was buried," Wen Yi said.
Because of fear, because of inner pain.
Wen Yi did not attend Gu Huaixu's funeral, nor did she know which hospital he left in or where he was laid to rest.
Because I dare not touch it.
If it weren't for the bartender's sudden mention, which sparked many speculations in Wen Yi, she wouldn't have wanted to prove anything or find out the truth.
Even after finally understanding the truth—that Gu Huaixu did indeed die in that car accident—it was all for naught, just another instance of Wen Yi deceiving herself. Wen Yi accepted it.
"Second Master, can you give me this information?" Wen Yibai pressed.
Gu Huaixu looked at her but did not rush to respond.
Ironically, Wen asked him to investigate his own death.
"Why did you suddenly have these thoughts?" Gu Huaixu asked.
"Second Master, can you help me?"
Wen Yi had no intention of responding to Master Gu; she wanted to get accurate information from him.
Will I help or not?
"What if I don't help?"
"Then I won't bother you any longer, Second Master."
Wen got up to leave.
Whether or not she helps, Wen Yi will find out. She just feels that since she and Master Gu are a business partner, and Master Gu has considerable influence in Haicheng, she can investigate more thoroughly if he helps.
However, if the other party doesn't help, Wen Yi doesn't feel the need to force them.
As Wen Yi was about to leave, Gu Huaixu, leaning back on the sofa, called out to her, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Just kidding."
Wen Yi stopped and looked back at Gu Huaixu, but showed no intention of going back to sit down.
"I will give you the detailed information you need within two days," Gu Huaixu promised.
Wen Yi chuckled lightly, "Thank you, Second Master Gu."
"You're welcome."
Gu Huaixu said as he stood up from his seat and walked toward Wen Yi, “There’s no need to rush. This is your room. I’m the one who should leave.”
After saying this, Gu Huaixu placed his hand on Wen Yi's shoulder.
Wen Yi felt the hand on her shoulder tighten slightly, and then Master Gu started to walk away.
Wen Yi couldn't help but turn around and watch the man close the door. For some reason, Wen Yi felt a deep sense of emotion about that moment.
I always felt empty inside, and when Master Gu slapped me like that, my heart started to tremble and go numb. Then I started to panic and felt a strange sense of fear.
Wen Yi didn't know where this feeling came from, but she felt terrible.
She slumped down on the sofa, leaning against it, and began to breathe heavily.
When I came to my senses, I found my back was chilly and I was covered in cold sweat.
Wen rubbed his temples wearily; his head was starting to ache, and he even felt nauseous.
Wen got up and rushed to the bathroom to vomit.
She hadn't eaten anything today, only drunk a little water, and now all she was vomiting was water, making her mouth taste bitter.
After a while, Wen Yi felt less nauseous. She quickly washed up and left the bathroom.
Just then, the cell phone on the table rang.
Wen glanced at it; it was a call from Young Master Gu.
Moreover, this wasn't the first call. While Wen Yi was vomiting terribly in the bathroom, Young Master Gu had already made two calls.
This is the third call.
Wen Yi was exhausted, her throat was sore from rubbing, and she didn't want to talk anymore. She slumped onto the sofa and let the phone keep ringing until it stopped.
Then, a message from Young Master Gu came in.
Gu Zeyu: I've been calling you but you haven't answered. You might be busy. I wanted to confirm the details of our date tomorrow.
Wen Yi: Let's have dinner together tomorrow, not a date.
After Wen Yi corrected the mistake, he sent Gu Zeyu the address of the Jinlumen Restaurant for tomorrow, and then called Jinlumen to make a reservation.
Gu Zeyu: Sorry, I made a typo. I hope we can have a pleasant dinner tomorrow.
Wen glanced at it, but ultimately didn't reply, casually tossing the phone aside.
...
The next day.
Wen Yi spent the whole day in the sunflower field processing the sunflowers. As the weather gradually changed, the chances of the sunflowers surviving were not high. Wen Yi had to find a way to build a greenhouse to create a temperature that would allow the sunflowers to survive.
Fortunately, the Royal Garden was well-funded and had ample manpower. Wen Yi only needed to express his needs to Xiao Kongkong, and Xiao Kongkong immediately began to handle them.
By the time everything was over, it was nearly evening, and the dinner time that Wen Yi and Gu Zeyu had agreed upon was approaching.
After explaining the situation to the gardener, Wen Yi planned to go back to her room to take a shower, change her clothes, and then go out.
However, just as Wen Yi was leaving the garden and heading into the villa, he bumped into Xiao Lan, who was walking towards him with a cane.
Wen Yi didn't recognize her at first glance. After all, Xiao Lan hadn't appeared in Wen Yi's sight since that incident. In addition, Xiao Lan's appearance wasn't as distinctive as Xiao Kongkong's. After not seeing her for so many days, Wen Yi had long forgotten what Xiao Lan looked like.
Xiao Lan stared at Wen Yi with a cold and resentful gaze, tightening her grip on her cane.
Wen Yi pretended not to see Xiao Lan and prepared to walk past her and go straight back to the villa.
However, as Wen Yi approached Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan immediately moved to block Wen Yi's path, staring coldly at him.
Wen Yi didn't want any conflict with Xiao Lan, mainly because it was troublesome.
In addition...
