Gu Fanyan was stunned.
Why did my aunt come out? My parents didn't even stop her.
Lin Zhibai noticed her expression, and his gaze darkened.
She rarely appeared flustered.
Does she really care so much about Murong Mo?
As Murong's mother sized up Lin Zhibai, Lin Zhibai was also sizing her up.
"Is Murong Mo afraid to come out?" He disdained to deal with the elders of his competitors.
"Where Murong Mo is is none of your business." Gu Fanyan said impatiently, wanting only to get rid of him as soon as possible.
However, Murong's mother chimed in, "I just came out out of curiosity. Fanyan has so many suitors, there's no need for my son to deal with every single one of them."
That's blatant contempt.
Without waiting for Lin Zhibai's reaction, she affectionately put her arm around Gu Fanyan's shoulder and said, "We've seen the excitement, Fanyan, let's go inside and look at the houses."
"Sister Fanyan!" Lin Zhibai cried out, "You are not allowed to marry Murong Mo!"
Gu Fanyan stopped and frowned slightly.
"Lin Zhibai, you've gone too far!" Gu's mother warned first.
Without arguing with him, Gu's mother immediately ordered the housekeeper, "Throw him out. If he dares to cause trouble again, call the police immediately!"
After saying that, she and Murong's mother led Gu Fanyan toward the villa.
The butler first stepped forward politely: "Young Master Lin, please go back."
Lin Zhibai ignored him and continued shouting at Gu Fanyan's figure, "Gu Fanyan, I won't allow you to marry Murong Mo! If you want to get married, I'll marry you!"
His screams echoed throughout the Gu family villa.
Helpless, the butler could only instruct two or three people, "Please ask Young Master Lin to leave."
Two or three people grabbed Lin Zhibai's arms, but he managed to break free.
Seeing that he was about to rush forward, the two or three people didn't care about anything else and had no choice but to hold him down and drag him out.
"Gu Fanyan, I will not allow you to marry Murong Mo! You can drive me away today, but I'll come back tomorrow; you can drive me away tomorrow, but I'll come back the day after tomorrow..."
He kept screaming.
Gu's mother and Murong's mother quickened their pace, eager to bring Gu Fanyan into the house as soon as possible.
But Lin Zhibai seemed to be challenging them; the faster they walked, the louder and more urgent his voice became.
Suddenly, Gu Fanyan stopped in her tracks.
Gu's mother was taken aback and quickly said, "Yan'er, don't pay attention to him. The more you pay attention to him, the more energetic he becomes."
Gu Fanyan calmly said, "I'll go and explain things to him."
"Yan'er..." Gu's mother was full of worry.
"Let the child go. I believe she can handle this." Murong's mother was very calm, her eyes full of trust.
Gu Fanyan couldn't help but look at her.
She smiled slightly: "Go ahead, child, we'll be waiting for you at home for dinner."
Gu Fanyan's eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded heavily.
"Let him go."
Gu Fanyan arrived at the garden entrance.
The Gu family members immediately let go and stepped aside.
Since the other party was Lin Zhibai, they didn't dare to use too much force.
Lin Zhibai immediately walked up to Gu Fanyan, grabbed her hand, and tried to take her away without saying a word.
However, after walking for a while, he realized something was wrong.
Gu Fanyan let him pull her along without struggling at all.
He stopped and looked back. Her calm and composed gaze was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
"Sister Fanyan..." Her appearance made him feel guilty and his heart trembled...
Gu Fanyan withdrew her hand and asked calmly, "Lin Zhibai, what are you trying to do?"
"Take me back and lock me in a house?"
“Sister Fanyan…” He found himself speechless.
"Or are you planning to marry me?" Gu Fanyan continued, "Have your parents given their approval?"
It wasn't just because his mother disliked Lin Zhibai.
Lin's mother also looked down on Gu Fanyan.
Lin Zhibai opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Gu Fanyan let out a sneer, then a look of utter despair appeared on her face. "You've always been like this, you've never changed."
"You treat me like a child, like a toy. In your heart, we have no future."
"Perhaps, I am not worthy."
"Let me go, and I'll let you go too."
"Sister Fanyan..." he called her name softly, but she had already turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing into the distance.
He was unable to speak.
He couldn't tell her how much his heart ached.
Finally, her figure disappeared from his sight, and at that moment, he felt his heart was empty.
Lin Zhibai is ill.
The high fever persisted for three days.
To outsiders, he appeared dazed and half-asleep.
He himself felt very clear-headed, and he could hear what they were saying.
"Sister Fanyan is determined to marry Murong Mo this time." This was Yun Suiwan's voice. "Last night, Murong Mo brought back an international award, and Sister Fanyan personally threw him a celebration party."
Yun was invited to attend the New Year's Eve party last night; all the attendees were prominent figures.
Gu Fanyan took Murong Mo's hand and introduced him to everyone present.
The scene was exactly like the eldest daughter of the Gu family bringing her husband to integrate into her circle of friends.
“We can’t let Zhibai know about this,” Shen Xinghui said worriedly, “otherwise, he won’t be able to get rid of his fever in three more days.”
“What’s the point of hiding it?” Lu Dongjue frowned. “Besides, what time is it? He’s still worried about having a fever.”
"If we don't come up with a solution soon, things will really be beyond repair."
"Say less," Yun Suiwan said. "Let's go out and not disturb Lin Zhibai's rest."
The three of them went downstairs, where Lin's mother was anxiously waiting in the living room.
"How is Zhibai?" she asked the three of them.
“He’s asleep,” Yun Suiwan comforted Lin’s mother. “Shen Xinghui just gave him his medicine, and his fever should break by tonight.”
Lin's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhibai is rarely sick. I don't know what kind of trouble he's causing outside..."
Suddenly remembering something, Lin's mother asked, "Wanwan, tell your aunt the truth, is he getting involved with Gu Fanyan again?"
Yun Suiwan was stunned for a moment, unsure of what to say.
Lin's mother continued, "Every time he gets involved with Gu Fanyan, nothing good ever comes of it!"
Yun Suiwan asked curiously, "Auntie, why do you say that?"
Lin's mother's face darkened: "I know you have a good relationship with Gu Fanyan, but I'm just telling the truth!"
"Do you remember a few years ago, Zhibai was also hospitalized, and stayed for two months!"
Yun Suiwan and Lu Dongjue exchanged a glance, then looked at Shen Xinghui.
Shen Xing nodded, confirming that such a thing was true.
He happened to have some free time back then, so he went to the hospital every day for a whole month.
“After the breakup, Zhibai ended up in the hospital,” Lin’s mother said resentfully. “I don’t believe Gu Fanyan didn’t know about this. She didn’t come to the hospital even once for two whole months.”
Yun Suiwan thought for a moment: "Was Sister Fanyan already abroad at that time?"
Lin's mother's anger intensified: "Yes, that's right! They caused someone to end up in the hospital, and then just walked away without a care in the world!"
