Half a month later, a tall, youthful woman stood at the door of the place of relief. She looked to be in her early twenties, with fair and delicate skin and an elegant and refined face. The simple white dress she wore had a unique charm.
Compared to her dejected and pale appearance just two weeks ago, Zhang Yunxin today has a rosy complexion, her chin held high, and exudes the elegance and nobility of a wealthy lady. It's as if she has been reborn.
"Yunxin, I'm waiting for you here." A middle-aged man sat in the black Rolls-Royce. He turned his head to look at Zhang Yunxin, his eyes filled with infatuation and doting, and his lips curved into a smile full of love.
No one could have imagined that just half a month ago, this man had pushed Zhang Yunxin away with a look of disgust and told her to get lost, making him seem like a completely different person now.
"No need, go back to work! I don't want you to waste your time." Zhang Yunxin smiled, her slender fingers brushing aside a stray hair from her ear, concealing the sarcasm in her eyes. Men, indeed, will always love young, beautiful 18-year-old girls.
He had seen through it all long ago, but fortunately, he had enough control over this person.
The image of that beautiful, aloof figure flashed in Zhang Yunxin's mind, and a clear sense of pleasure flickered in her eyes. That woman, Ma Zhelan, relied on her youth and beauty to seduce other women's husbands, becoming a mistress and then arrogantly showing off in front of him.
The man used to be attracted to the color of the maizelan flower, and he was completely devoted to her, causing her, this haggard old woman, endless suffering and ridicule. Now, the man's heart belongs to her, so that woman naturally can't get away with anything. Yet she still tries to act all high and mighty in front of her, how utterly foolish!
See? Before he could even open his mouth, the man rushed up and slapped him twice, swelling up his handsome face. It was so satisfying...
Thinking of the arrogant and haughty woman in front of her, now crying her eyes out and looking utterly pathetic, Zhang Yunxin's anger subsided a little. However, she would never let that kind of woman go; the woman had plenty of bad days ahead of her.
"Well, you're really virtuous." The man sighed, then started the car and drove away slowly, occasionally turning his head to look at the woman by the roadside, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance.
Watching the car drive away, Zhang Yunxin snorted coldly and walked into the store in her high heels.
The same scene, the same two people, Zhang Yunxin's face lit up with a smile, "Shopkeeper, this is your reward. Thank you so much for your help before. If it weren't for you, I probably would have lost everything long ago."
Although she was tired of her current husband, she still acknowledged his skills and abilities. A young couple can grow old together; she figured she'd just treat it as a partnership and not worry too much about feelings. Once he was no longer useful, she'd kick him aside and make him taste her own bitterness.
Wuyou didn't think much of it; after all, it was just a transaction. Since opening this shop in Qingning City, she had met many customers—some polite, some arrogant, some dejected, and some malicious. All sorts of people, but she didn't care. She just focused on doing her business well, provided these people didn't mess with her.
After everyone left, Wuyou temporarily closed the shop and began to organize the Gu worms in her hands. Some of the Youth Gu and Love Gu had already been used up, and she needed to replenish her supply.
Holding the tender, white youth-giving elixir in his palm, Wuyou's expression suddenly changed before he could make his next move. His composure vanished, replaced by worry and anxiety. He abruptly straightened up, hurriedly closed the shop door, and rushed to the school.
The life-saver Gu planted on his son has been triggered, which means that Shi Yun Shen is in trouble. Who on earth is so audacious as to dare to harm his son? He must make them pay the price.
Riding away on her electric bike, Wuyou had just arrived at the school when she heard a commotion at the gate. With her sharp eyes, she spotted Mr. Liu, Shi Yunshen's homeroom teacher, and hurried over.
Ms. Liu had a delicate appearance and an anxious expression. Just as she was about to make a phone call, someone grabbed her wrist, startling her. She only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Wuyou's face.
"Yun Shen's mother, I was just about to tell you that something has happened to Yun Shen."
Wuyou remained silent upon hearing this, looking at her unconscious son on the hospital bed. She had no idea he would be alright; the life-saving Gu had shielded him from harm. Yet, she was still anxious and distressed. At the same time, a surge of anger rose within her, making her want to explode on the spot.
When Shi Yun Shen woke up, he was greeted by the smell of disinfectant and the familiar scent of bamboo. He blinked his peach blossom eyes, which were just like Wu You's, turned his head to look at Wu You, who looked worried, and couldn't help but grin.
"Mom, I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright. With the Life-Saving Gu protecting me, how could anything happen to me?" The little boy reached out his chubby little hand and patted Wuyou's shoulder, looking like two good buddies, which was inexplicably funny, but Wuyou couldn't laugh.
"Yun Shen, you're the only person Mom cares about the most. If something happens to you, I don't know what I'll do." Whether it was out of Shi Wuyou's feelings or her own, Wuyou regarded Shi Wuyou as the most important person in her world. Seeing him lying unconscious on the bed, her heart ached.
"Mom..." Shi Yunshen buried himself in Wuyou's arms, his voice full of affection, but in his heart he felt immense sympathy for Liang Baichuan. He had known since he was a child that Liang Baichuan was not his biological father, and he genuinely regarded him as his own father. Unfortunately, his mother was completely oblivious to this, so he could only express his deepest sympathy for Liang Baichuan.
"Little darling, what exactly happened? Who hurt you?" Wuyou touched the bandage on her son's head, her tone cold.
Shi Yunshen was still angry when he thought about it, feeling that he was too weak and had been easily harmed by others.
"It was a woman, completely covered up, I couldn't see her face, and she smelled terrible in perfume." Shi Yunshen wrinkled his nose, looking disgusted.
If you can't see the face clearly, that's a bit of a problem, Wuyou thought deeply.
"But it's alright, I put a tracking Gu on her, she can't escape." Shi Yun Shen was extremely excited as he said this. He had been exposed to Gu techniques since childhood and had learned some simple Gu techniques from Wu You. This was the first time he had used it on his own, and he didn't expect it to be so successful.
Wu You wasn't surprised by Shi Yun Shen's talent in Gu techniques. This child was self-taught; he became a top-tier Gu master based solely on some ancestral notes. How could his talent be weak?
"That's good, little darling. You should rest well these next two days. Mom has already asked for leave for you. I'll get revenge for you then." As she said this, a hint of malice flashed in Wuyou's eyes, indicating that she was truly angry. Xiaobai crawled up to Shen Shen's cheek and rubbed against him in a gesture of comfort.
With Xiaobai's comfort, Shi Yunshen immediately smiled. Watching the two play together, Wuyou gradually felt relieved, thankfully without causing any psychological trauma to the children.
