After a long silence, she asked.
"Why? Because... you're about to get news about Gu Weiwei, so... my existence is in the way?"
Gu Siting glanced coldly at the pitiful-looking woman and said.
"What the Gu family provided for you and the Ling family, and the heart you received in transplant—isn't all of this enough?"
"Brother Siting, that's not what I want. What I want is to be with you..." Ling Yan said, choking back tears.
She made so many efforts to survive and stay by his side, but in the end, he still wanted to break off their engagement.
Gu Siting's gaze was deep and cold. "Even if you transplanted her heart, even if you wear her clothes and imitate her mannerisms, you are not her."
At first, after seeing her heart transplant surgery, her behavior and mannerisms were very similar to Vivi's.
He wondered if it was because of the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead and the heart transplant that she carried Weiwei's presence within her.
It was later discovered that she had only imitated it to please him.
Because of his father's death, he once thought he could transfer his affections to her and forget Weiwei, who had killed his father.
But with Weiwei's death, the pain of missing her gnawed at his heart day by day...
Therefore, even after learning that the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead could allow one's soul to remain in the world—a seemingly absurd claim—he was willing to give it his all.
He eagerly awaited that person's arrival to tell him news about her, yet he was also afraid that the person might not appear, and that all of this would be a ridiculous joke.
As the appointed date drew closer each day, his waiting grew more agonizing.
“But she’s already dead. Even if that person can tell you news of her, she can’t come back,” Ling Yan said, crying.
She tried so hard to please him, yet he still couldn't forget Gu Weiwei, who was already dead.
Gu Siting looked at her as she broke down in tears and said calmly.
"As long as we find her, she will definitely come back, and everything will return to normal."
If only I had known I could never let her go, if only I had known he would suffer so much pain and torment after her death...
Even if he had known about his father's death, he shouldn't have distanced himself from her or even sent her away from the Gu family.
In that case, she wouldn't have followed Yuan Shuo and the others all over the country, wouldn't have been so eager to find her biological father, and wouldn't have ended up being assassinated and losing her life...
Looking at Gu Siting, who seemed to have gone mad, Ling Yan felt a deep sense of despair.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was so heavy that no one spoke.
Until Kuroda Shio returned from outside and stood in the restaurant, saying...
"Mr. Gu, Mu Weiwei was attacked in Stockholm. Although it seems like Li Xiner hired someone to kill her, it appears that someone deliberately induced them to do so."
When Ling Yan heard them talking about Mu Weiwei's attack, she felt guilty and her hand trembled, causing the knife to fall onto the plate with a jarring sound.
"Why...are you investigating Mu Weiwei's matter?"
Gu Siting remained silent, while Kuroda Shigeo gave his reply.
"We recently received information that the person who provided Miss Vivi's true identity to the Anderson family was a man, so it might not be Yuan Meng. Following this lead, we discovered that it's also related to Mu Weiwei's recent attack in Stockholm..."
Ling Yan pursed her lips, her palms already sweating profusely.
They're investigating that person, so what if they find out... she met with that person?
