Seeing Gu Yao's frail expression, Wen Lu quickly walked up to Gu Yao, reached out her hand, and helped Gu Yao turn around and walk into the ward.
“Even if you go home, you can’t go back like this. I’ll have Qian Lailai push your wheelchair. You can’t walk to the garage in this condition.”
Upon hearing Wen Lu's words, Qian Lailai immediately packed her things, ran to the nurses' station to borrow a wheelchair, and quickly returned.
When Qian Lailai returned, Wen Lu was changing the medicine on Gu Yao's head. After confirming that Gu Yao was alright, Wen Lu took Gu Yao's hand, helped her into the wheelchair, and walked together towards the elevator in the hospital's underground parking garage.
Upon reaching the car, Wen Lu helped Gu Yao into the vehicle. She then took the wheelchair from Qian Lailai, gestured for Qian Lailai to get in, and then bent down to speak to Wang Jinyu.
"I'm going upstairs to return the wheelchair. You guys drive the car out first and wait for me upstairs."
As Wang Jinyu listened to Wen Lu's words, he glanced casually at the direction behind him and nodded slightly to Wen Lu.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the hospital entrance."
Wang Jinyu knew what Wen Lu wanted to do, but he didn't stop her; he just watched her leave.
In the elevator, Wen Lu looked at Gu Jingkun who had just walked in and gave a cold snort in annoyance.
"If you want to pretend to be affectionate, you don't need to in front of me. I've made myself very clear: we can't even be friends, so there's absolutely no need for any intimate contact."
"I've come to apologize to you. Once I'm working with the Yan family, I'll be returning to headquarters. I'll need you to take good care of Gu Yao."
Hearing Gu Jingkun's words, Wen Lu only glanced at him indifferently and spoke in a rather unfriendly tone.
"If you had said that to me before I knew about the grudges between you, I would have just thought that you cared about Gu Yao."
"But now that you're saying this, I think you're really despicable. Put yourself in her shoes. If Gu Yao's mother had killed your mother, would you still be able to say this so calmly?"
“Gu Jingkun, be kinder. When you chose to protect your mother, you and Gu Yao were already from two different worlds. Now I just hope you will stop bothering Gu Yao. Otherwise, I don’t mind making your company chaotic for a while longer.”
When Wen Lu said those words, a chill crept into her eyes. After changing her identity, she had learned to handle things calmly.
But for some reason, she simply couldn't control her emotions when facing Gu Jingkun.
Gu Jingkun listened to Wen Lu's words and smiled bitterly. He knew that Wen Lu was a man of his word, but now was not the time to let the Gu family fall into chaos.
Just then, the elevator stopped, and the elevator doors slowly opened. Gu Jingkun didn't say anything more, took long strides out of the elevator, and turned around to walk towards the stairwell.
When Wen Lu pushed her wheelchair out of the elevator, she only saw a glimpse of Gu Jingkun...
After returning the wheelchair, Wen Lu left the hospital and walked straight to the hospital gate, where Wang Jinyu's car was already parked.
When Wang Jinyu saw Wen Lu come out, he immediately got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and let Wen Lu get in. Then he turned around and returned to the driver's seat.
"Should we go back to the villa or the apartment? Wang Xiuli just called and said the terrain at the rescue site isn't very good. Do you want to go home and rest, or wait for news at the apartment?"
"Let's go back to the apartment."
Wang Jinyu led Wen Lu and her group back to the apartment. As soon as Gu Yao entered the house, she used the excuse of feeling dizzy to ask Wang Jinyu for directions to the guest room before going in to rest.
Wen Lu sat in the living room, one hand on Qian Lailai's shoulder, hugging her without any restraint, and studying the food delivery app with her, which made Wang Jinyu a little jealous.
Wen Lu seemed to sense Wang Jinyu's mournful gaze, looked up at him, and winked playfully.
"What do you want to eat? I'm hungry, I want some spicy hot pot, but you probably don't want any, right?"
Wen Lu and Wang Jinyu have known each other for so long, and Wang Jinyu has never restricted what she eats. However, she knows that Wang Jinyu seems to have his own principles, and there are many things that Wang Jinyu himself is unwilling to eat.
When Wang Jinyu heard that Wen Lu wanted to eat mala tang, he frowned slightly and said slowly, "Order me a fried rice. If you're having mala tang, don't make it too spicy."
After saying that, Wang Jinyu returned to his bedroom. After Wang Jinyu left, Qian Lailai unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why, but she always felt a bit of pressure whenever Wang Jinyu was around.
Seeing Qian Lailai breathe a sigh of relief, Wen Lu smiled gently, raised her hand and pinched Qian Lailai's cheek, smiling slightly.
"You can choose whatever you want to eat, and we can pay together. I'm going to check on Gu Yao. Oh, by the way, order some xiaolongbao for Gu Yao; she likes them."
As Wen Lu spoke, she stood up from the sofa and walked towards Gu Yao's room.
Wen Lu knocked lightly twice on Gu Yao's door. Gu Yao quickly opened the door from the inside and hugged Wen Lu the moment she saw her.
"Phantom, what should I do? I think I'm losing control of my emotions again. I'm so sad."
Gu Yao pressed her head against Wen Lu's neck, completely unable to control her emotions. She wanted to appear calm, but for some reason, she just couldn't calm down. She was really sad.
Wen Lu let Gu Yao hug her tightly, letting her cry on her shoulder and vent her emotions. She felt it was a good thing that Gu Yao could still vent her emotions at this time. What she was most worried about was that Gu Yao would keep all her emotions inside, and then it would be difficult to pull her out.
Once Gu Yao stopped crying, Wen Lu took her hand and sat down by the window, looking together at the night view of Harbin.
"This is the first time I've seen you break down since I've known you. But it's a good thing you were able to cry. Don't keep your emotions bottled up inside. No matter what, I hope you remember that you saved my life today. Thank you, Gu Yao."
Gu Yao looked at Wen Lu and shook her head vigorously. What she wanted to hear wasn't Mei Ying's thanks, but that Mei Ying could live a good life.
“This is not the first time I have broken down. The first time I broke down was when I was fourteen years old. I watched as a crazy woman ran over my mother, who was my only family, and killed her.”
"As far back as I can remember, my mother has always taken me to hide, just so that the Gu family wouldn't find out where I am."
