Everyone felt a jolt in their hearts and trembled with fear.
"Let's go." Yun Suiwan took Sheng Nanyin's arm with satisfaction and turned to leave.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the grass, all covered in cold sweat.
In just a few minutes, they experienced a thrilling adventure even more exciting than a roller coaster.
My strength seemed to have been drained away.
No one spoke.
After a long, long silence, someone quietly stood up, turned around, and left.
They seemed to have reached a tacit agreement to never mention, discuss, or recall it.
Let those awkward few minutes remain forever in our memories.
Yun Suiwan led Sheng Nanyin to the adjacent lounge.
Sheng Nanyin remained silent for a while before slowly coming back to her senses.
"Miss Yun, don't laugh at me, but I was really a little surprised just now."
Sheng Nanyin said sincerely, "Thank you."
Yun Suiwan disagreed: "I've seen plenty of people like that. They fawn over the powerful and bully the weak. I won't feel at ease unless I slap them a few times."
Sheng Nanyin was a little insecure: "Miss Yun, is my identity really such a disgrace to Zeze?"
Yun Suiwan shook her head: "I don't have any inspirational quotes for you here. This matter isn't up to me to decide; you'll have to ask Zeze."
"The only thing I can say is that, based on my understanding of Zeze, he is much smarter and more sensible than you imagine."
Sheng Nanyin understood. "I will find a suitable opportunity to tell him about my relationship with Huo Beichen."
"Perhaps he will have a choice, and whatever he does, I will respect it."
Yun Suiwan asked, "Speaking of Huo Beichen, there's something I really have to say. Would you like to know?"
Sheng Nanyin was puzzled.
...
"Let me in. I want to speak with Huo Beichen in person!"
"Why didn't he tell me Yun Suiwan would be coming? Our Mu family has lost face today, who's going to compensate us!"
Mrs. Mu's voice kept ringing out from outside the door, and even through the wall, her anger could be heard.
Huo Beichen stared at the monitor screen with a gloomy expression, paying no attention to the noise outside the door.
That's right, today's gathering was a setup by him.
He wanted to make Sheng Nanyin understand that she had no ability to raise Zeze and no right to compete with him.
He wanted her to know that her only choice was to stay by his side respectfully, just like before.
She was almost beaten to the ground.
He was almost there.
If it weren't for Yun Suiwan's appearance...
Suddenly, it became quiet outside the door, and he sensed an unusual noise.
He stood up and turned around, only to see the door pushed open and Sheng Nanyin appear in the doorway.
Sheng Nanyin's gaze shifted and fell upon the surveillance screens.
The glamorous party venue in the garden where she was just insulted is still there, but there's not a soul in sight.
“It really was you…” Sheng Nanyin’s lips trembled, her whole body shaking with anger.
A flicker of panic crossed Huo Beichen's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
He still wore a cold, mocking expression. "So your backer really is Yun Suiwan. You'd better pray that she can protect you for the rest of your life."
"I guarantee this won't happen once or twice."
Sheng Nanyin felt as if someone was squeezing her chest, and the pain made it hard to breathe.
But having chosen this path, she would never regret it. "Bring it on, Huo Beichen, I'm not afraid."
"I came here to tell you that from now on, I will no longer show you any mercy."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
How dare she say such a thing to him!
How dare she!
Huo Beichen felt his blood rush to his head, and with a "bang," the screen shattered into several pieces, with blood dripping down the cracks.
"Brother Chen!" Ah Liang strode in.
Huo Beichen had already left the house like the wind.
Ah Liang glanced at the screen and realized that this was beyond his control.
Yun Suiwan drove Sheng Nanyin to the winery. On the way, she said, "I'll transfer a driver from home to the winery. From now on, Zeze's schooling will be handled by him."
Sheng Nanyin was taken aback. "Miss Yun, did Zeze say something to you?"
Yun Suiwan did not deny it, "Don't think I'm helping you. Zeze and I were once friends who went through thick and thin together."
Sheng Nanyin smiled gratefully: "That's Zeze's good fortune."
However, "Huo Beichen was right about something he just said: I can't rely on you for the rest of my life."
“I want to rent a house near Zeze’s school so that it will be convenient for him to go to school and for me to take care of him.”
Yun Suiwan raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you afraid Huo Beichen will come looking for trouble?"
"I'm not afraid," Sheng Nanyin replied succinctly and forcefully.
Huo Beichen's arrangement of everything today has actually relieved her of her psychological burden. She will no longer have any worries about competing with him or fighting for him in the future.
Yun Suiwan did not insist any further; on the contrary, she admired Sheng Nanyin's strength.
At this moment, Yun Suiwan received a call from Da Wen: "Miss, Mr. Lu's condition has relapsed, and the experts at the hospital can't come up with a solution for the time being."
Yun Suiwan frowned: "Isn't Lu Dongjue going to find a solution?"
"Isn't there still the Gu family?"
"What are they all good for?!"
She was somewhat out of control; she was genuinely worried about Grandpa Lu's illness.
"Go to the hospital now and see what's going on. I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Yun Suiwan glanced at the traffic conditions and was about to suggest that Sheng Nanyin take a taxi back when Sheng Nanyin spoke first.
"Take me to the hospital with you."
Yun Suiwan asked doubtfully, "You have a way?"
“I’m not sure,” Sheng Nanyin shook her head, “but having one more person might mean having one more solution.”
Thinking of Sheng Nanyin's background, Yun Suiwan turned around and rushed to the hospital without saying a word.
Lu Dongjue was at the hospital, as were Gu Fanyan and her mother, and Lin Zhibai was also there.
Outside the doctors' meeting room, several assistants and nannies stood waiting to be instructed.
Yun Suiwan felt annoyed just watching, her mind a complete blank, but she couldn't think of anyone who could help her. She could only watch her grandfather suffer.
"Lu Dongjue, what are you good for?" she couldn't help but scold, "Don't you know any doctors or can't afford it? Did Grandpa raise you just so he could suffer?"
Lu Dongjue glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Gu's mother wanted to retort, but Yun Suiwan's aura intimidated her, and for a moment, she didn't dare to speak.
"Da Wen, what's the situation now?" Yun Suiwan asked.
“Miss, the doctors and specialists are still inside having a meeting and discussing things,” Da Wen replied.
"Lu Dongjue, why don't you come in and discuss this together?" Yun Suiwan fired at Lu Dongjue again. "What kind of behavior is it for you to just stand there like this?"
Lu Dongjue glanced at her again, a hint of grievance in his eyes, like a child who had been scolded by his parents.
The more Yun Suiwan looked at him like this, the angrier she became.
"Wanwan, don't be angry," Lin Zhibai said. "Dongjue has tried everything he can think of. Grandpa's condition is special right now, so we can't just transfer him to another hospital. We can only listen to the doctor."
“Um…” Sheng Nanyin suddenly said, “May I see Grandpa’s medical records?”
