Yun Suiwan may act very rationally and decisively, but emotional distress is sometimes beyond one's control.
As night fell, Lu Dongjue entered the room and saw a figure sitting by the window, holding a half-full glass of red wine.
As dusk settled, the figure appeared even more forlorn.
"Do you believe in demonic possession?" Yun Suiwan suddenly asked.
Lu Dongjue stepped forward and affectionately patted her head. "Believe me."
Yun Suiwan continued, "Li Xiaoyun's feelings for Yun Wanqing are just obsessive."
Otherwise, how do you explain Li Xiaoyun's inability to distinguish right from wrong, and her constant siding with Yun Wanqing?
Lu Dongjue thought for a moment: "From childhood to adulthood, Yun Wanqing must have had many demands. Especially after you returned to the Yun family, she felt that her position was threatened. She had no smarter way, so she could only keep demanding from Li Xiaoyun. If she couldn't get what she wanted, she would make a scene or even harm herself."
“Over time, Li Xiaoyun will develop the illusion that Yun Wanqing cannot live without her. If she ignores her, there will be very serious consequences.”
"The feeling of being needed can sometimes be so intense that it's hard to get out of it."
Yun Suiwan felt that he was right.
From a young age, Yun Wanqing has always been a troublemaker.
In contrast, she was much quieter, and sometimes she would even deliberately minimize her presence.
She thought that this was being obedient and filial, and that her mother would eventually see these good qualities in her and treat her better.
In fact, over time, Li Xiaoyun took her obedience for granted.
She understood the reasoning, but couldn't escape her distress. She tilted her head back and drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.
Lu Dongjue took the wine glass from her hand. "That's enough. Don't hurt yourself for her sake. That would be the worst thing you could do."
Yun Suiwan pressed her cheek against his, her expression somber: "When will Li Xiaoyun realize that everything he did was completely worthless?"
Lu Dongjue couldn't answer that question.
"Go to sleep early, you'll feel better after a good night's sleep." He picked up Yun Suiwan and carried her to the bedroom.
She didn't know how long she had slept when the phone rang.
She answered the phone, and Yun's father's anxious voice came from the other end: "Wanwan, your mother is taking Yun Wanqing by boat to the dock in the southern suburbs."
Just as Yun Suiwan was about to get up, Lu Dongjue reached out his large hand and pressed her down: "You continue sleeping, I'll take care of it."
“I sent Da Wen to keep an eye on them. Da Wen should already be on his way to the dock,” Yun Suiwan said hurriedly.
As Lu Dongjue put on his coat, he nodded and said, "I will contact Da Wen."
Watching him walk towards the door, she finally couldn't help but call out, "Lu Dongjue..."
Lu Dongjue turned his head and saw the conflicting struggle in her eyes.
He understood and nodded: "The Gu family and the Murong family won't know the news for now. I'll bring them back first."
Yun Suiwan breathed a sigh of relief.
But she was no longer sleepy and sat on the bed until dawn.
When she heard the sound of an engine in the garden, she immediately rushed out.
Lu Dongjue and Da Wen got out of the car and walked towards the villa, looking exhausted and a little annoyed.
Yun Suiwan stopped in her tracks, puzzled. "They're gone...?" She couldn't quite believe it.
Lu Dongjue shook his head: "When we arrived, they had just boarded the ship. In order to run away, Yun Wanqing kicked Li Xiaoyun off the ship, which diverted our attention."
Da Wen also pursed her lips: "I've never seen anything like this before, such cold water... In her heart, Li Xiaoyun is not a mother or a relative at all, but just a tool."
Yun Suiwan felt sorry about the result, but she wasn't surprised.
Yun Wanqing is that kind of person.
"We have already taken Li Xiaoyun to the hospital," Da Wen reported.
Yun Suiwan nodded, "Keep a close eye on her. If you want to find Yun Wanqing, asking her is the fastest way."
After discussing it with Lu Dongjue, Yun Suiwan decided to tell the Gu and Murong families about Yun Wanqing's escape by boat.
As for Yun Wanqing's fate, she deserved it.
That day, Huo Beichen suddenly called Yun Suiwan and asked if she could go to visit Gu Fanyan with him.
Otherwise, it would seem a bit impolite for a grown man like him.
Yun Suiwan scoffed without any politeness, "How come I never realized before that President Huo is such a polite person?"
He showed absolutely no respect to Sheng Nanyin or Sun Xiaowei.
“Miss Gu is different,” Huo Beichen replied calmly.
"Mr. Huo doesn't have any other intentions, does he?" Alarm bells rang in Yun Suiwan's mind. "The Gu family's strength is obvious to all."
Huo Beichen's desire to take a big step forward through marriage is obvious to all.
Huo Beichen chuckled lightly: "If I had any ideas, Murong Mo wouldn't be involved at all."
Yun Suiwan remained silent, sensing a mysterious confidence in him.
Unexpectedly, after meeting, Huo Beichen generously recounted his connection with Gu Fanyan.
Yun Suiwan was stunned. She hadn't expected that Gu Fanyan had such a painful past.
She went abroad to study alone, probably because she wanted to protect that child.
She must have been in great pain when she unexpectedly lost that child.
And she has to bear this pain alone.
“You don’t have to do this,” Huo Beichen noticed the tears welling up in Yun Suiwan’s eyes. “I was with Miss Gu at the time, and I also asked someone to take care of her.”
“But the person she most wanted to see at that time was probably Lin Zhibai,” Yun Suiwan said.
Huo Beichen nodded, "Maybe so. But she wouldn't say anything at the time. If she had mentioned Lin Zhibai's name, I would have found a way to notify Lin Zhibai."
Yun Suiwan smiled bitterly: "She didn't say it at the time because she had already said goodbye to Lin Zhibai in her heart."
Lin Zhibai probably still can't understand how he lost Gu Fanyan.
Huo Beichen frowned: "I don't understand what you women are thinking. He caused the pain, so why not demand it back from him? Instead, you want to stay far away from him. Isn't that the same as letting him go?"
Yun Suiwan rolled her eyes at him and said bluntly, "For a woman, being treated like a stranger is the greatest punishment."
Huo Beichen thought about it seriously: "This method is suitable for Miss Gu because she is very charming... Ordinary women won't work, they don't have that advantage. She thinks she is punishing men, but in fact men have long since thrown her into a corner, and have even forgotten her name."
Yun Suiwan: ...
"Scumbag," she cursed.
Huo Beichen: ...
“I understand,” Yun Suiwan continued, “You said on the phone just now that if you had been willing to do something back then, Murong Mo wouldn’t have had a chance. You must have been too overconfident.”
"You want to be Sister Fanyan's boyfriend, but she has to be able to like you first."
"Let me tell you, Sister Fanyan doesn't like scumbags. Just look at what happened to Lin Zhibai."
Huo Beichen: ...
How did he become a jerk just from a few casual words?
