"Stop looking," Mrs. Gu took the phone away. "I've already had someone handle this."
"Yan'er, people have mouths, so don't worry about what they say."
"Moreover, this matter was obviously done by Yun Wanqing's side, so it's easy to resolve."
Gu's mother kept comforting her daughter, fearing that her daughter's mood would get worse.
But Gu Fanyan remained calm.
"Mom, I'm fine. This kind of thing won't hurt me."
"Yun Wanqing's child is gone, and I just feel guilty."
“Then you don’t need to think like that,” Mother Gu continued to comfort her. “You didn’t push her; she fell down on her own while running around. Besides, Lin Zhibai was closest to her at the time, and he couldn’t even protect his own child. How can you blame someone else?”
Gu Fanyan lowered her eyes and said nothing more.
Gu's mother looked at her thoughtfully: "Yan'er, can you tell your mother why you were in the room with Lin Zhibai that day?"
“I…I’m going to talk to him about some business matters,” Gu Fanyan replied.
Gu's mother looked at her silently, her eyes showing disbelief in her words.
After a moment, Gu's mother sighed softly, "Yan'er, I'm really worried about you. Can't you tell your mother the truth?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Gu Fanyan's eyes, but in the end she still said, "Mom, I didn't lie to you."
Although Gu's mother was disappointed, she did not press the matter further. She simply instructed, "You should rest at home for the next couple of days and give me some time to handle this."
Gu Fanyan rested at home for several days.
That day, Murong Mo arrived.
Gu's mother invited him to stay for dinner and instructed the nanny to prepare some of his favorite dishes.
As she said these words, Gu Fanyan glanced at Murong Mo.
Murong Mo smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, I took Fanyan out for a walk to clear her head. She's been staying at home for several days now."
"I'll take her to a less crowded restaurant, so you don't need to worry."
Mother Gu smiled and said, "I feel more at ease with you by my side."
After getting into the car, Gu Fanyan let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you, you've been my shield again."
Gu Fanyan did this to reassure her mother, but she was indeed getting a little bored staying at home.
Murong Mo smiled and said, "I would be delighted."
He drove the car out of the Gu family's gate and asked, "Where would you like to eat?"
Gu Fanyan thought for a moment: "I want to go to the hospital..."
"Go visit Yun Wanqing?" Murong Mo asked, puzzled.
Gu Fanyan forced a smile, "Wanwan also thinks my idea is quite unbelievable, but I just want to go and see..."
Murong Mo said thoughtfully, "I can go with you, but I'd like to invite two more people along."
"Why?" she asked, confused.
“Your visit to her is well-intentioned. But you can’t guarantee what she’s thinking. Kindness is a rare thing, and I don’t want you to get hurt because of it,” Murong Mo replied earnestly.
"Also, before we go to the hospital, I must take you out to eat first."
"I heard from your aunt that you haven't been eating properly these past few days. If Yun Wanqing attacks you, you'll need the strength to defend yourself, right?"
Gu Fanyan couldn't help but laugh.
I was still somewhat touched.
Murong Mo is a very gentle and reliable person.
The two went to a high-end Western restaurant and reserved a private room.
As I walked through the aisle of the private rooms area, the door to one of the rooms was pushed open by a waiter.
Gu Fanyan turned her head unintentionally and met a pair of eyes in the private room.
She was stunned for a moment.
The other party was also taken aback.
Then the door was closed.
"What's wrong?" Murong Mo noticed that her expression was off.
"It's nothing." She saw Lin Zhibai and felt there was no need to say anything.
They won't say hello anyway.
During dinner, Yun Suiwan called Gu Fanyan to ask, "Sister Fanyan, what are you doing?"
“I’m eating out,” Gu Fanyan replied. “Are you trying to ask me about all that messy stuff online?”
She guessed she had seen it.
Yun Suiwan was indeed quite worried, but she had been busy dealing with these messages for the past two days. Today, she finally finished dealing with them and quickly called to check on her.
"Those rumors won't surface again, don't worry," Yun Suiwan reassured her.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Fanyan's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
She then learned that Yun Suiwan had been helping her clear these messages over the past few days.
"What happened?" Murong Mo asked immediately.
Gu Fanyan shook her head, "I just suddenly felt... that I am very happy."
Her parents, family, and friends all care about her.
"Do you know why?" Murong Mo asked.
"Why?"
"Because you deserve it."
Gu Fanyan's lips curled up slightly; he really knew how to comfort people.
Murong Mo pushed a bowl of hot mushroom soup in front of her: "Eat more. I'll go to the hospital with you later, and then this matter will be over."
"Mm." Gu Fanyan nodded.
Over the years, she had never felt a bowl of hot soup so real as she did now.
The long-accumulated despair and brokenness in her eyes seemed to be gradually being pieced back together.
The restaurant was on the top floor of the building. Gu Fanyan didn't want to take the elevator to the underground parking lot, so Murong Mo went to drive the car. The two agreed to meet at the small square outside the building.
Gu Fanyan walked through the shopping mall on the first floor of the building, exited the main gate, and found herself in a small square.
"Gu Fanyan!" Suddenly she heard someone call her name.
She turned around in confusion, only to see transparent liquid spraying towards her like scattered flower petals.
She didn't react for a moment, only feeling that her face and hands were icy cold.
"Ah!" Someone screamed. It was two girls who happened to be passing by her and had also been splashed with the liquid.
"What is that?"
"It hurts!"
"It can't be sulfuric acid, can it?!"
"Help!"
"Help!"
Gu Fanyan didn't panic. She immediately looked down at her arm and found nothing unusual except for some clear liquid.
She wiped it with her hand. "It's just water, don't be afraid, it's just water!"
Is it water?
"It really is water; my skin wasn't burned!"
The two girls breathed a sigh of relief.
By this time, a large number of passersby had gathered around them.
"Gu Fanyan!" someone shouted, "That's Gu Fanyan, the mistress who drove someone to a miscarriage!"
"It really is her!"
"She still has the nerve to show her face? No wonder people threw things at her!"
"Why did you just throw water?! You should have thrown sulfuric acid!"
"She looks like a vixen. With that face, will she still harm people in the future?"
"The other party is still too timid!"
"I think the other person is kind-hearted, otherwise how could they have been bullied like that!"
In an instant, Gu Fanyan was surrounded by passersby and became the target of public criticism.
"Make way, please make way!" Several people immediately squeezed in.
Murong Mo arrived with his men. They protected Gu Fanyan in the middle and cleared a path through the crowd.
The rumors and gossip gradually faded away.
Gu Fanyan suddenly stopped and looked towards a corner of the square. The little bit of things that had just been stitched together in her eyes shattered again, bit by bit.
