Gu Huaixu's words shattered Wen Yiben's already fragile and broken heart.
She sold herself to the Royal Garden.
After her mother went to arrest her, and after Gu Huaixu's 'car accident death,' Wen Yi desperately wanted to leave the Wen family and sever all ties with them.
Wen Yi sold himself to Yutingyuan.
She considered torturing herself for the rest of her life, to never let herself off the hook, and to use the Imperial Garden as a prison to confine herself.
Wen Yi closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and finally said, "I understand."
Gu Huaixu moved his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't know what to say.
The hand that was originally outstretched behind the chair wanted to be raised to pat Wen Yi's head and comfort him, but in the end, it was abandoned.
From the moment he chose 'death,' the relationship between Gu Huaixu and Wen Yi, who was an older woman and a younger man, came to a complete end. He could no longer give her any tenderness, nor would he love her.
I never loved him from the very beginning.
Now, Wen Yi is just a smokescreen for him; he just needs a wife, a mistress of the Imperial Garden.
Gu Huaixu restrained himself and withdrew his hand.
Wen Yi shifted her gaze to the window, watching the passing scenery, and her emotions gradually calmed down.
After a while, Wen Yi asked, "How long will it take to get to the capital, and what do I need to do?"
"The time is yet to be determined. As for what to do..." Gu Huaixu thought for a moment, "...be a decorative vase."
"Just a vase?"
"A vase that can prick people."
Gu Huaixu said this.
Wen Yi didn't really understand what he meant by "a vase that can prick people," but Wen Yi was too lazy to ask.
She felt very tired, so she simply closed her eyes and refused to continue communicating with Gu Huaixu on the way to the airport.
Arrived at the airport.
While in the VIP waiting room, Wen Yi made an excuse to go to the restroom, but actually called Xiao Kongkong.
Wen Yi had been a loner since childhood, with few friends, and when she needed help, she couldn't find anyone. Right now, the only person Wen Yi could think of was Xiao Kongkong.
Wen Yi was still unsure whether Xiao Kongkong could help him.
"Madam, is there anything you need?"
"Can you do me a favor?" Wen Yi asked directly, "It's a personal matter."
With her intelligence, Xiao Kongkong knew from the word "private" that this favor needed to be kept from the Imperial Garden. Xiao Kongkong was also thinking about it.
Wen Yi waited patiently while Xiao Kongkong remained silent.
She was nervous, afraid that Xiao Kongkong would refuse her, as he was the only person she could talk to.
Fortunately, Xiao Kongkong didn't think about it for long and gave an answer, "Okay."
Wen breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you."
"I can only say it's within my capabilities; if it exceeds them, there's nothing I can do."
“I hope you can help me find my maternal grandparents,” Wen Yi said directly. “My sister brought my maternal grandparents from the countryside to Haicheng to threaten me. But yesterday, my maternal grandparents, who should have been at the Wen family’s house, were missing. I suspect that something happened to them and the Wen family is deliberately hiding it from me.”
After explaining all this, Wen Yi added, "In addition, when I questioned my mother earlier, she looked evasive and gave me a flimsy excuse that my grandparents went on a trip."
After Wen Yi finished explaining, Xiao Kongkong understood. "Give me a day. Call me at this time tomorrow."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Wen Yi didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Kongkong and left the restroom after hanging up the phone.
As soon as the door opened, Gu Huaixu was standing there with a strange smile on his face...
