"Sheng Xin is the one who most resembles you among these women."
Gu Fanyan raised an eyebrow arrogantly: "Oh, is this my fault too?"
Lin's mother shook her head. "What I mean is, I want you to do something to completely cut off Zhibai's thoughts."
“If he can’t move on from what happened between you, he will never be able to start a normal new life.”
Before Gu Fanyan could speak, Lin's mother continued, "I know my request is unreasonable, but please, for the sake of me being a mother..."
"Mom!" Lin Zhibai suddenly strode in.
Lin's mother was stunned. Didn't he send Sheng Xin away?
"Mom, can you please stop interfering in my affairs!" Lin Zhibai said, very displeased. After saying that, she grabbed Gu Fanyan's hand and turned to leave.
Before she even left the living room, Gu Fanyan broke free from Lin Zhibai's hand and quickly walked past him.
“Fan Yan…” Lin Zhibai caught up with her, “I have something I want to tell you.”
Gu Fanyan stopped, but only turned her back to him.
Lin Zhibai hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not step forward to face her. "I'm very sorry about Murong Mo's matter..."
He looked at her long, slightly wavy hair, which cascaded down to her waist and shone softly in the afterglow of the sunset.
"Why?" she asked.
“I saw him that night, if only I could have stopped him…”
“He got on that ship for me,” Gu Fanyan interrupted him, “It has nothing to do with you.”
Lin Zhibai's throat was immediately blocked, and he couldn't speak.
After a moment, he said again, "Don't take my mother's words to heart, just pretend she didn't say anything."
"Mm." Gu Fanyan gave a faint reply and walked away.
She didn't look at him once, not even once.
She got into Yun Suiwan's car and left.
Sheng Xin sat in the car, watching it disappear into the distance. Then she turned her head and saw Lin Zhibai slowly walking over.
The desolation on his face was so intense that it was impossible to conceal.
He had already started the car, but when he received a call from the housekeeper saying that Gu Fanyan had been called away by Lin's mother for a private talk, he jumped out of the car instantly.
He even forgot to release the handbrake.
Gu Fanyan must have been of extraordinary significance to him.
A woman's intuition is always very accurate.
Lin Zhibai got into the car.
Sheng Xin immediately hid her suspicions and jealousy, and said with a particularly aggrieved and apologetic tone, "Brother Zhibai, I'm sorry, did I make things difficult for you?"
Her voice was trembling with tears.
Lin Zhibai came to his senses and shook his head: "It's okay, don't do that again."
Sheng Xin felt relieved when she heard that he mentioned "later," which meant that she was not out of the game yet.
Little did he know, Lin Zhibai's mind was not on this at all; he didn't care what she said.
Gu Fanyan was in a bad mood.
Yun Suiwan sensed it, so she didn't ask what Lin's mother had said to her.
Just then, Gu Fanyan's phone rang. As soon as she saw the caller ID, her brows furrowed deeply.
She answered the phone.
“Fanyan, I hope you can understand my feelings. Only you can do this…” Lin’s mother still did not give up her idea.
Gu Fanyan felt extremely disgusted and irritated.
This isn't the first or second time that Lin's mother has tried to morally blackmail her.
But why do I always have to make her do something?
Suddenly, a vengeful smirk appeared on her lips. "I understand." She suppressed her anger and hung up the phone.
Yun asked with concern, "Do you need any help?"
Gu Fanyan smiled slightly: "Just wait and see the show."
Watching the play is no problem.
But Sister Fanyan's smile gave me goosebumps.
...
That day, Yun Suiwan and Gu Fanyan finally finalized their wedding dress and suit.
The two went to a nearby cafe to relax with a cup of coffee.
"Have you set a wedding date yet?" Gu Fanyan suddenly asked.
Yun Suiwan shook her head, "But it will probably be three to five months from now."
There's a lot to prepare.
Gu Fanyan said, "Tell me your and Lu Dongjue's birthdays, and I'll find an expert to choose a date for you."
Yun Suiwan blinked her eyes: "What... are they even engaging in superstitious activities now..."
Gu Fanyan glared at her, "What are you talking about? It's just a symbolic meaning. Don't you want to have good luck and auspiciousness on such a joyous occasion?"
Yun Suiwan laughed heartily and said, "Listen to Sister Fanyan."
However, after thinking about it, she realized that it might not be possible to get it done.
She doesn't know what time she was born.
“Go back and ask your nanny,” Gu Fanyan said. “She loves you so much, she must know.”
Yun Suiwan agreed and then received a phone call; there was an urgent matter at the company that required her attention.
Gu Fanyan told Yun Suiwan to leave first, as she wanted to finish her coffee slowly.
Not long after Yun Suiwan left, Gu Fanyan heard the sobbing becoming clearer and clearer.
She had just heard that sound.
I've noticed this person too.
Now that Yun Suiwan has left, she can turn around and look back.
Sheng Xin sat not far away, curled up in a tall sofa, wiping away her tears.
Yun Suiwan hadn't noticed because her sobs were very soft, and besides, she wasn't crying for Yun Suiwan's benefit.
Gu Fanyan looked in that direction for a short while, and the other person looked up with surprise on their face.
It was as if I had just seen her.
“Miss Gu…” Sheng Xin sat down in front of her, wiping away her tears, looking embarrassed. “I’m a little out of control.”
"Would you like a cup of coffee?" Gu Fanyan asked.
Sheng Xin nodded, "Thank you."
After drinking half a cup of hot coffee, Sheng Xin's emotions calmed down.
"If you have nothing else, I'll be going now." Gu Fanyan had finished her coffee.
“Miss Gu…” Sheng Xin hesitated, “Can I talk to you for a while? I can’t find anyone to confide in, and I feel like I’m going crazy.”
To be honest, Gu Fanyan really wanted to see how she would continue acting.
"I want to marry Zhibai," Sheng Xin said bluntly, but tears welled up in her eyes again. "I'm not after his money. I have enough money to live on myself. I truly love him."
“But Miss Gu, as you can see, my mother doesn’t like me, and Zhi Bai has no plans to get married,” Sheng Xin said with a bitter face. “What should I do?”
Gu Fanyan thought to herself that Sheng Xin must have known about the past concern between her and Lin Zhibai, which is why she deliberately said these things to her.
Only by doing everything she can she clear her name of any lingering suspicions about her relationship with Lin Zhibai.
Will she help Sheng Xin?
She's so good at it.
She'd been waiting for this day.
Otherwise, how could she have trampled the arrogant Lin's mother underfoot?
“Miss Sheng, I’ve known Lin Zhibai for a long time,” Gu Fanyan replied. “He is indeed difficult to control, and his family is even more troublesome. However, they are not without weaknesses.”
Sheng Xin looked at her with great anticipation.
"If you have Lin Zhibai's child, they will definitely compromise. If you give birth to a grandson, your position as the young mistress of the Lin family will be secure."
Sheng Xin opened her eyes wide in surprise, a hint of hesitation flashing in them: "But, the number of women who want to have a child with Brother Zhibai should be enough to circle half the city, right?"
Even if she gives birth to the child, the child won't be anything special.
“But Lin Zhibai still doesn’t have a child.” Gu Fanyan shrugged. “And you have a good chance. So far, you’re the woman who has stayed by Lin Zhibai’s side the longest.”
"Really?" Sheng Xin couldn't believe it, but she was also incredibly excited.
"Really." Gu Fanyan nodded.
Sheng Xin was overjoyed, and even a little eager to try it out.
"I wish you success soon." Gu Fanyan got up and left.
Sheng Xin became more and more excited the more he thought about it.
Although she and Lin Zhibai have only had physical contact so far, it's not a matter of time before they want to get to know each other better!
She is very confident in her femininity.
Gu Fanyan drove away, feeling even better than she had imagined.
Aunt Lin, why is it always you who asks me to do this and that, to follow your wishes?
This time, I'm going to follow my own heart.
Just wait and accept this wonderful gift I've prepared for you.
