“Auntie… you must have a lot of opinions about me, right?” Gu Fanyan suddenly said after walking for a while.
"Why do you say that?" Murong Mo asked, puzzled.
"It was just a meal, but because of me, your family is having a falling out." Gu Fanyan still felt a little guilty.
"Who told them to be so foul-mouthed and misbehaving!" Murong Mo immediately said coldly, "I'm teaching them a lesson!"
His serious expression both touched her and made her want to laugh.
He was also a little embarrassed, "You weren't scared by me, were you? I'm not usually like this... I was a little angry today because they slandered you."
Gu Fanyan looked quietly into his handsome eyes: "What do you think about what happened today? I was referring to those rumors."
Murong Mo asked, "Those are just rumors, right?"
Gu Fanyan's heart sank.
He probably cares, he cares about what she went through in the past...
“I think those must be rumors,” he continued, “I can’t understand how someone as good as you could be so cruel as to hurt you.”
He became furious again, saying, "If I find out who this person is, I won't let him get away with it."
So that's what he cared about.
He truly cherished her like a precious treasure.
"Thank you, Murong Mo..." She lowered her eyes, and glistening tears welled up in them.
"Don't cry," Murong Mo's heart ached, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. "Did I say something wrong? Tell me, I'll change..."
He was at a loss, but finally, overcome by the pain in his heart, he pulled her into his arms.
They held each other tightly.
He desperately wanted to protect her with everything he had, to ensure she would never be harmed again.
Gu Fanyan did not reject his hug.
Instead, she closed her eyes deeply in his arms.
She was very tired.
I'm also very confused.
Perhaps, she could stop thinking about anything and just give herself completely to him.
Suddenly, a horn blared from the driveway not far away.
There's a traffic jam on the road.
It's neither the morning rush hour nor the evening rush hour.
The road was only cleared again when a car stopped in the middle of the road stepped on the gas.
Gu Fanyan was completely unaware of the commotion.
This time, she genuinely wanted to try and continue the relationship with Murong Mo.
When she returned home that evening, Gu's mother praised Murong Mo and his mother.
"I was all prepared to teach those two girls from the Murong family a lesson, but I didn't expect that Murong Mo and his mother would work together so well that I didn't get a chance to do anything," Gu's mother said with a smile.
"Yan'er, just based on their willingness to protect you, I think you won't make the wrong choice in selecting him."
Gu Fanyan hummed in agreement. "Mom, I'm tired. I'm going upstairs now."
Gu's mother suppressed her smile and looked at her with concern: "What's wrong? You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm just tired."
"So, what about your marriage with Murong Mo? Is it settled like this?" Gu's mother asked.
Gu Fanyan thought for a moment, then hummed in agreement.
After she went upstairs, the nanny, Aunt Zhang, immediately congratulated Gu's mother, saying that her wish had come true.
Mother Gu nodded, but there was no joy on her face.
"What's wrong, Madam? Didn't Miss just nod?" Aunt Zhang asked.
Isn't this what Gu's mother has been hoping for these days?
Mother Gu sighed, "What you said seems to make sense, but I don't think Yan'er seems very happy."
She always sensed that her daughter had something on her mind.
Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Madam, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."
"you say."
"Do you remember when the young lady went abroad to study?" Aunt Zhang said. "Back then, she absolutely refused to go..."
At that time, Gu Fanyan and her mother had a very unpleasant argument.
One day, the two had a brief argument, and Gu's mother slammed the door and went out to play mahjong.
Gu Fanyan suddenly fainted at home.
“I remember that day, the young lady fainted here,” Aunt Zhang pointed to the sofa. “I was very nervous at the time and quickly made arrangements to take the young lady to the hospital, but as soon as we got in the car, the young lady woke up and refused to go to the hospital for a check-up no matter what.”
A few days later, Gu Fanyan agreed to study abroad.
Reminded by Aunt Zhang, Gu's mother remembered that such a thing had indeed happened back then.
"What do you mean by suddenly bringing this up?" Gu's mother asked, puzzled.
She always believed that Gu Fanyan had thought things through back then, which is why she agreed to study abroad.
Aunt Zhang nodded worriedly: "I think that's how it should be... what else can we do?"
After saying that, Aunt Zhang left to go about her work.
After thinking for a moment, Gu's mother still went to Gu Fanyan's room.
Gu Fanyan had just finished washing up and was getting ready for bed when she saw her mother come over. She was a little surprised and said, "Mom, you haven't rested yet."
"I'm so happy to see that you and Murong Mo are getting along so well, I can't fall asleep anytime soon," Gu's mother replied.
Upon hearing this, Gu Fanyan knew that her mother hadn't come upstairs for no reason.
"Mom, please just say what you want to say."
"Mom has nothing to say... Yan'er, I'll have someone investigate to see who is spreading rumors online, but the other party is very cunning, and we haven't found out yet."
Gu's mother said, "Think about it yourself, who is targeting you?"
Gu Fanyan knew what was going on, but there was no need to tell her mother, otherwise it would cause quite a stir.
"Mom, you said it was all a rumor, I didn't take it seriously at all, so don't worry about it either."
Mrs. Gu paused for a moment, then continued, "I suddenly remembered something. Back then, you were always reluctant to study abroad, but then you suddenly agreed..."
Gu Fanyan's heart skipped a beat.
She never expected that her mother would still remember something that had happened so long ago.
She had to nip her mother's idea in the bud; otherwise, digging deeper would only embarrass everyone.
"Mom, what do you mean?" she asked, looking displeased. "It's one thing for rumors to circulate online, but now you're even doubting me?"
"Why don't you just tell everyone that I like to mess around and ruin my body? Would that put your mind at ease?"
She was so angry that her face turned red, and she couldn't help but cough a few times.
Mother Gu was heartbroken. "Don't worry, don't worry, Mom was wrong. Don't get agitated, please don't get agitated."
She patted her daughter's back as she spoke.
Seeing that Gu Fanyan was gradually calming down, she quickly said, "I was just being nosy, don't take it to heart, go to sleep early."
"Okay," Gu Fanyan replied.
Only then did Mrs. Gu leave, relieved.
Gu Fanyan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite guilty towards her mother.
It seems the sooner this matter is resolved, the better.
She immediately picked up the phone and called the chief secretary, giving him detailed instructions.
That day, all the staff in the secretariat had left work, but Yun Wanqing was still working in front of her computer.
"Secretary Yun, is there a problem?" the chief secretary asked with concern.
Yun Wanqing immediately shook her head, "There's no problem. I've completed all the tasks you assigned. I just want to stay and learn more."
"That's why I say you're improving quickly."
The chief secretary smiled and picked up several documents. "I have another urgent document for you. It would be best if you could get President Gu to sign it today."
Yun Wanqing nodded: "No problem."
