But she didn't expect that the first person to appear would be Murong Mo.
It turns out that one of the ladies at the card game was Murong Mo's aunt.
Murong Mo brought something to his aunt.
Their eyes met, and Murong Mo also showed surprise.
"Mo'er, do you know Miss Gu?" Auntie asked.
Yun Wanqing smiled and said, "Mrs. He, you don't know, do you? Mr. Murong and Sister Fanyan are dating."
The ladies were indeed somewhat surprised.
Who Gu Fanyan will eventually marry is one of the most pressing questions in the wives' circle.
Those who can form a marriage alliance with the Gu family will become even stronger, and those who are weaker will no longer have to worry about the future.
No matter what, they are lucky.
Lin's mother's face darkened, and she didn't say a word.
She was very unhappy.
She set rules for Gu Fanyan, but Gu Fanyan suddenly had a boyfriend. Wasn't that a slap in the face for her?
She felt even more disgusted with Gu Fanyan!
Murong Mo led Gu Fanyan to the garden and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Gu Fanyan smiled and said, "Lin Zhibai's mother asked me to come."
Murong Mo immediately understood, "She thought you would pester Lin Zhibai, so she did this on purpose, right?"
He's quite good at clarifying things.
"You should have told me to come over." Murong Mo pursed his lips, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.
Then he changed his tune, "No, you shouldn't have come."
"Why do you need to prove anything to her!"
Gu Fanyan watched a familiar sports car drive into the garden and said, "Murong Mo, since you're here, could you do me a favor later?"
Murong Mo looked at the sports car with a puzzled expression, then his face froze slightly.
He recognized the sports car; it belonged to Lin Zhibai.
Lin Zhibai walked into the reception room, and his gaze paused slightly when it met Murong Mo's figure.
"Brother Zhibai?" Yun Wanqing looked surprised and immediately stepped forward to take his arm.
Lin Zhibai smiled slightly and turned to look at his mother: "Mom, we're having a gathering here today."
Lin's mother glanced at him and said, "You know everyone here. This is Mr. Murong Mo. You don't recognize him, do you? He's Gu Fanyan's boyfriend."
Lin Zhibai whistled, "Murong Mo, you're so lucky. Sister Fanyan is the goddess in the hearts of every one of us kids."
Murong Mo replied without hesitation, "Yes, I think so too."
He put his arm around Gu Fanyan's shoulder and said, "Fanyan, I'll take you out to eat. Anyway, you're not interested in playing mahjong."
“Fanyan can’t leave,” Lin’s mother said. “She promised to teach Yunwanqing the rules today.”
"What rules should we teach?" Murong Mo asked.
“She’s a rich heiress and has been familiar with our circle since she was a child. She has a lot to teach Yun Wanqing,” Lin’s mother replied.
“For example,” Murong Mo continued, “like you, who inexplicably doubted Fan Yan and still couldn’t forget Lin Zhibai, right?”
"Xiao Mo!" Auntie quickly called out to stop him.
But it was too late.
Who would have thought that Murong Mo, who appears extremely refined on the surface, could be so sharp-tongued?
Lin's mother looked somewhat embarrassed: "What's the basis for your statement?"
“I don’t need any evidence,” Murong Mo replied. “As long as I believe someone is bullying Fan Yan, I can make any accusations and protests!”
"Fan Yan, do you think I suspect you?" Lin's mother's face became even more unpleasant. "Do you think I called you here on purpose to give you a hard time?"
If she dares to say "yes," Lin's mother can't guarantee she won't discipline the child on behalf of Mrs. Gu!
Yun Wanqing was secretly pleased.
What a pleasant surprise!
If Lin's mother and Gu Fanyan had a conflict at this time, and if Lin's mother were to get injured, Gu Fanyan and Lin Zhibai would have no chance together in this lifetime.
However, Gu Fanyan changed her previous confrontational tone and said quietly, "Aunt Lin, I believe you didn't mean that. Murong said those things on impulse."
“Fan Yan…” Murong wanted to explain.
Gu Fanyan gently shook her head at him, stopping him from continuing.
But a soft light appeared in her eyes.
Murong Mo had never seen her like this before; it was as if she were shrouded in a halo, and he instantly crumbled.
“Aunt Lin, please calm down. I’ll take Murong out for some fresh air.”
She grabbed Murong Mo's hand and left the reception room.
With a "smack," Lin's mother threw a mahjong tile onto the table.
Everyone else was taken aback.
"What are you looking at? Play your card!" Lin's mother said. "I have a three of bamboo, do you see that clearly?"
The other ladies nodded in agreement and quickly took over the cards to continue playing.
Actually, I was secretly overjoyed.
Gu Fanyan saw through Lin's clumsy little trick. Lin's mother must be furious right now.
Yun Wanqing didn't speak. She looked at Lin Zhibai and was immediately taken aback.
Lin Zhibai's face looked very unpleasant.
It was uglier than she had ever seen before.
The atmosphere in the small living room gradually returned to normal.
Yun Wanqing went to prepare a sweet soup.
When they returned, they found that Lin Zhibai, who had been sitting next to Lin's mother, was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Zhibai entered a room on the second floor, walked towards the window, and looked around.
Suddenly, the door clicked shut.
Gu Fanyan closed the door and walked towards him step by step.
"Looking for me?" she asked, a hint of sarcasm playing on her lips.
"You called me over so I could see how you and Murong Mo show off your love?" Lin Zhibai's face was cold and stern.
The tenderness she showed to Murong Mo was something he had never experienced before!
“No, I called you here so I could show off my love to you,” she replied.
Lin Zhibai stared intently at her.
She stopped in front of him: "Lin Zhibai, if your mother sees that we are still in contact, what do you think the consequences will be?"
"I seem to remember that she had heart surgery before?"
Lin Zhibai's face turned ashen: "What do you want to do?"
"Tell me where Sheng Nanyin is?" she said, her smile fading. "Otherwise, I can't guarantee what might happen."
Lin Zhibai sneered, "Huo Beichen is looking for Sheng Nanyin, and you're so concerned about it. What's your relationship with him?"
"It's none of your business." A hint of panic flashed in Gu Fanyan's eyes.
He actually managed to make so many connections.
"You...you really have a relationship with him?" He suddenly raised his hand and pinched her chin.
He misunderstood the panic in her eyes, thinking it meant he had hit the nail on the head.
Gu Fanyan quickly calmed down: "It has nothing to do with you."
"Dare you tell me how many men you've had over the years?" he pressed her.
She sneered dismissively: "At least I'm sincere with everyone, instead of saying one thing to your face and another in private."
"You'd better tell me right now, otherwise when Murong Mo gets back to the mahjong table, your mother and fiancée will immediately know that something's wrong between us..."
"This will be a perfect opportunity for Murong Mo to see how you differ between me and him!"
He gritted his teeth and pressed down hard.
He hit her so hard that she immediately slammed into the wall.
He followed her, leaving her nowhere to escape.
Gnawing.
To ask for.
crazy.
She was having trouble even breathing.
