Yun Suiwan and the other two felt a little awkward and didn't know what to say.
Lin's mother continued, "I heard that Gu Fanyan is getting married soon. I'm planning to send Zhibai abroad to discuss some business. By the time he comes back, Gu Fanyan's wedding will probably be settled."
"From now on, they should go their separate ways and not bother each other."
Yun Suiwan sighed softly, thinking to herself, "This can be considered a tragic fate."
“Auntie, don’t worry,” Shen Xinghui said. “I heard that Sister Fanyan will leave here after she gets married and go to her husband’s house. Not to mention Brother Zhibai, it will be difficult for us to see her in the future.”
Lin's mother wanted to clap her hands: "That's perfect."
As they were talking, footsteps sounded on the stairs.
Lin Zhibai quickly walked downstairs. He was still very weak and almost stumbled and fell down the stairs.
Shen Xinghui quickly stepped forward to help him up, but was pushed away.
"Zhibai, where are you going?" Lin's mother asked as she stepped forward.
Lin Zhibai ignored him and walked straight out.
Lu Dongjue and Shen Xinghui chased after them together.
Yun Suiwan tacitly stayed behind to accompany Lin's mother.
"Don't worry, they're watching over you, everything will be fine."
Lin's mother was worried, her tone filled with resentment: "It's all Yun Wanqing's fault for being so useless. If she had really married Zhibai, I wouldn't be so worried."
As the year draws to a close, the clouds fall silent.
Lin's mother harbors far too much resentment towards Gu Fanyan, to the point of being indiscriminate in her pursuit of her.
Just then, the sound of an engine came from the garden.
Lin's mother was taken aback. "We told them to stop you, so why did you still go out?"
"It would be good to have them take Lin Zhibai to the hospital for a checkup," Yun Suiwan said.
Lin's mother was skeptical, which made Yun Suiwan feel a little uneasy.
Lin Zhibai did not go to the hospital, but instead went to the Gu family's house.
Lu Dongjue and Shen Xinghui followed them to the Gu family's gate in another car.
Seeing Lin Zhibai frantically ringing the doorbell, Shen Xinghui felt a pang of pity. "Brother Dongjue, are we just going to watch him like this?"
"Can you stop them?" Lu Dongjue retorted.
Shen Xinghui fell silent.
Lu Dongjue put his hands behind his head: "Let it be. The abscess will only get better if it's squeezed out."
At this moment, Gu Fanyan was at home, and Murong Mo was also there.
They went to pick out their wedding dress this morning and just got home.
The doorbell rang urgently, and Gu Fanyan's heart sank. She roughly guessed what was going on.
Murong Mo looked outside.
Gu Fanyan said, "Don't you have something to do? Go ahead and get busy."
Murong Mo smiled and said, "I'd like to have lunch before I leave. You're not going to kick me out, are you?"
Gu Fanyan paused for a moment, then turned to look at the kitchen: "Aunt Zhang, make two more dishes for lunch."
Aunt Zhang agreed, but her gaze was drawn to the series of doorbell rings coming from the garden.
She guessed that it was Lin Zhibai who had come.
But the wife and husband aren't home right now, so how should we resolve this?
The butler came in, about to report the situation to Gu Fanyan, but Gu Fanyan shook her head.
She ignored it and instead said to Murong Mo, "It's still early for dinner. I'll take you to the guest room to rest."
She led Murong Mo up the stairs.
“Fan Yan,” Murong Mo said, “I’m going to the garden for a bit.”
“Ignore it…” Gu Fanyan turned her head.
“I heard he came here before,” Murong Mo said. “This matter should have been handled by me. You don’t need to go. Just wait for me at home.”
After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.
Gu Fanyan thought for a moment and decided to go out and see, but Aunt Zhang stopped her.
“Miss,” Aunt Zhang advised, “this is what a man should do, so don’t worry, let him do it.”
"I think this son-in-law has a good personality and temperament," Aunt Zhang said with admiration.
Gu Fanyan sat down quietly and waited.
Since she entrusted Murong Mo with the task, she should trust him and give him face.
Soon, the butler rushed in, looking anxious: "Miss, the young master and Young Master Lin are fighting."
Gu Fanyan rushed to the garden gate and saw the two of them exchanging punches, neither of them holding back.
Just as Lin Shao was about to punch Murong Mo in the face again, Gu Fanyan rushed forward and stood in front of Murong Mo.
Lin Zhibai was stunned and forcefully pushed his fist away, hitting the tree trunk next to him instead.
A muffled "bang" was heard.
Immediately, a stream of blood flowed down the tree trunk.
That punch was quite powerful.
If it had hit Murong Mo in the face, his face would have swelled up very quickly.
"Lin Zhibai, don't go too far!" She was furious, her delicate face flushed red.
"Sister Fanyan," Shen Xinghui couldn't bear it and spoke up, "Brother Zhibai is also seriously injured. He has had a high fever for three days and it hasn't gone down yet."
Lin Zhibai's right eye socket was bruised and red, and was oozing blood.
Gu Fanyan remained unmoved and demanded, "Lin Zhibai, haven't you made enough of a scene?"
Lin Zhibai walked up to Gu Fanyan with his head hanging low, like a child who had done something wrong.
His breath was indeed scorching hot.
"Sister, sister," he whispered, his voice full of pleading, "Don't marry someone else, please..."
He always liked to call her that, to cheer her up, during those intimate moments...
Gu Fanyan's delicate shoulders trembled slightly as memories of him and them flooded back like a tidal wave, washing over her heart in waves.
Her heart was shaken and its foundations were unstable.
She looked at Murong Mo.
She felt that Murong Mo must have something to say at this moment.
However, he said nothing.
He simply smiled at her, his eyes filled with trust and support.
He believed she would choose him.
He wouldn't blame her even if she didn't choose him.
Never before had Gu Fanyan felt that he truly doted on her.
She now knew exactly what choice she had to make.
“Lin Zhibai, go back,” she said. “We can’t be together anymore.”
Lin Zhibai opened his mouth, and after a moment found his voice, "Sister, don't be angry... If there's anything I did wrong, I can change it..."
“There’s nothing wrong with you,” Gu Fanyan shook her head. “It’s my own decision. I want to start a new life.”
“Sister…” Lin Zhibai instinctively reached out to pull her, but she took two steps back and dodged.
Murong Mo was just two steps away.
She let Murong Mo hold her hand and leaned against him.
Lin Zhibai's legs wobbled, and he almost lost his footing.
Gu Fanyan looked away. "Let's go."
These words were spoken to Murong Mo.
The two left together.
Lin Zhibai stared blankly, his gaze shifting from disbelief to surging anger and a heart-wrenching pain... Suddenly, everything went black.
"Brother Zhibai, Brother Zhibai!" Shen Xinghui helped Lin Zhibai up and called out loudly.
Murong Mo glanced back and said, "He fainted. He does look quite ill."
Gu Fanyan remained silent and continued walking forward.
Murong Mo stopped and looked at her face.
Gu Fanyan sighed softly, "Do you think I'm too heartless?"
Murong Mo shook his head: "I just hope you don't do anything you'll regret."
