"She's just screaming randomly, yelling in pain, yelling for help... That's what happens when she has nightmares, don't take it to heart," Gu's mother said. "The doctor said you're fine, the driver will be here soon and we'll go home. Go home and get some rest."
Gu Fanyan then fully remembered what had happened before she fainted. "Mom, how is Yun Wanqing...?"
Gu's mother shook her head: "I don't know. I rushed over as soon as I got the call and have been staying by your side ever since."
Not long after, the doctor had a nurse take Gu's mother to the office.
Gu Fanyan lay alone on the hospital bed, lost in thought.
Someone pushed open the ward door and came in.
"Mom, what did the doctor say to you?" Gu Fanyan was still looking at the ceiling.
No one answered her, but footsteps approached her bedside.
Gu Fanyan turned her head in confusion, only to find that the person who came in was Lin Zhibai.
"How is Yun Wanqing?" she asked immediately.
"The child is gone," Lin Zhibai replied.
Gu Fanyan was stunned, and a particularly twisted pain suddenly appeared on her pretty face.
Lin Zhibai didn't understand: "Are you feeling sorry for me?"
Gu Fanyan turned her face away, "You can leave now. I have nothing to say to you."
Lin Zhibai reached out and turned her around. "Gu Fanyan, are you hiding something from me?" His gaze was inquisitive.
Gu Fanyan secretly clenched her fist, but her expression gradually calmed down: "What else could I possibly be hiding from you?"
“I don’t know,” Lin Zhibai said, looking at her, “but I can sense it.”
Gu Fanyan gave a cold smile: "You should use this time to worry about your fiancée."
Lin Zhibai looked puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask further.
"Young Master Lin?" Murong Mo walked in carrying a thermal lunchbox.
Lin Zhibai didn't even glance at him before turning and leaving.
"Young Master Lin," he said as he walked past him, "if you're worried that Fan Yan won't be well taken care of, then that's unnecessary."
Lin Zhibai didn't respond and left silently.
Gu Fanyan felt a pang of worry. Was Lin Zhibai acting strangely because he had discovered something?
Murong Mo came to the bedside. "Auntie called me and said you're awake."
Gu Fanyan composed herself and noticed his reddened eyes: "You've been watching over me all along, haven't you?"
Murong Mo smiled slightly, which could be considered as acquiescence.
But he didn't want to say more, because he felt it was what he should do.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"The doctor said I'm fine..." Gu Fanyan thought for a moment and asked, "Is Yun Wanqing in the same hospital as me?"
Murong Mo nodded.
"How is she now?" she asked.
“Her emotions are a bit unstable… This kind of thing is no small matter for a woman,” Murong Mo replied calmly.
"I..." Gu Fanyan bit her lip, "Did I do something wrong..."
Murong Mo sat down, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I don't know what you're thinking, and I don't know how to help you."
“This is not your fault,” Gu Fanyan immediately shook her head, “and you have already helped me a lot.”
"But you have a scar in your heart that hasn't healed yet, right?" Murong Mo asked.
Gu Fanyan fell silent.
“Fan Yan, I’m not saying all this because I want to know what’s on your mind,” Murong Mo gently held one of her shoulders. “I just hope you can move on.”
"Thank you," Gu Fanyan said gratefully, truly.
Gu's mother and two nurses walked in.
"Yan'er," said Gu's mother, "the doctor said he needs to give you a full physical examination."
Gu Fanyan was taken aback: "Why?"
"It's just a full-body checkup, why else? Just treat it as a physical exam."
“I don’t think it’s necessary.” Gu Fanyan quickly sat up. “I feel great now, I can eat and sleep well, let’s not waste this time.”
Gu's mother asked in confusion, "Don't you have a full body check-up every year? Consider this year's check-up an early one."
"I'll do it myself. I have things to do today, so I'll go home first."
She was about to stand up when she spoke, but she stood up too suddenly and her legs felt a little weak.
Fortunately, Murong Mo secretly helped him, preventing him from being exposed.
Just as Gu's mother was about to say something, Yun Suiwan walked in.
"Wanwan!" Gu Fanyan exclaimed as if she had seen a savior. "Wanwan, you're here. Are you urging me to sign the contract? I'll go with you right now."
She took Yun Suiwan's hand and walked out.
Mother Gu dared not act presumptuously in front of Yun Suiwan, and could only watch them leave.
"This child... seems to be hiding something from me," Gu's mother muttered to herself.
Murong Mo's eyes darkened.
Yun Suiwan was completely bewildered. "I came to the hospital to see you."
But now she's been dragged onto the street by her patient.
"You've seen me, haven't you?" Gu Fanyan forced a smile.
“Looks like you’re alright,” Yun Suiwan said, looking her over. “There’s a nice restaurant nearby, let’s eat and chat.”
Once the two sat down at the restaurant, Gu Fanyan's mouth never stopped.
"How are things between you and Lu Dongjue lately?"
Is Grandpa feeling better?
"Hasn't Lu Dongjue proposed to you yet? What mischief is he planning?"
"..."
Yun Suiwan looked at her with piercing eyes: "You keep asking me questions, are you afraid I'll ask you something?"
Yun Suiwan saw right through her little scheme.
Gu Fanyan feigned composure: "It's been a while since we last met, so I'm just checking in on you. You finally managed to snatch Lu Dongjue away from me, so I need to know how you're going to handle him."
Yun Suiwan smiled and said, "Then I should thank you."
“You really have to thank me,” Gu Fanyan suddenly said, “Come with me to see Yun Wanqing later.”
"What exactly happened?" Yun Suiwan was about to ask this.
Gu Fanyan didn't hide anything and told the whole story.
"It's also my fault for not thinking things through. I didn't expect Lin Zhibai to refuse to tell me." Gu Fanyan lowered her eyes, feeling very guilty.
Yun Suiwan listened, but felt something was off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
However, one thing she was certain of was that Gu Fanyan should not visit Yun Wanqing.
“I know her too well. She will definitely use this to stir up trouble. It’s best for you not to show your face right now.”
"I will go see her in your place."
Gu Fanyan looked grateful. "Then I'll wait for your news."
After taking Gu Fanyan home, Yun Suiwan went straight to the hospital.
As soon as I reached the ward door, I heard Chen Lizhen's angry voice coming from inside: "What do you mean? Are you trying to rip me off after I've served my purpose?"
"Our Huo family may not be as powerful as the Lin family, but if my daughter is bullied, I will not let any of those who bullied her get away with it!"
Yun found it laughable at the end of the year.
She's clearly worried about her own interests being harmed, but she insists on portraying it as a loving mother-daughter relationship.
“Mrs. Huo, please calm down,” Lin’s mother said. “I didn’t want this to happen either. But Wanqing is still young. As long as she and Zhibai have a good relationship, they will definitely have another child.”
