Gu Tingyuan swept a cold glance at Helian Zhen as he walked past him while walking down the stairs.
Helian Zhen patted his butt, which was hurting again from the kick. He glanced at the retreating Gu Tingyuan and couldn’t help but say, “If you care about her, you should just go in and investigate. Why were you hiding by the door? What kind of man are you!”
Gu Tingyuan stopped in his tracks. After a long while, he said, “I just came out of the study and passed by.”
Helian Zhen raised an eyebrow.

He had just passed by?

If he had passed by, wouldn’t his back face the master bedroom? Why had he faced the master bedroom?
A dead duck was stubborn!

Forget it. There was no way he would admit to something he wanted to hide.

“Tm leaving!”

Gu Tingyuan said, “I won’t see you out.”

Helian Zhen had a resentful expression. “Tch, you ungrateful fellow!”

On the sofa, Gu Tingyuan picked up the newspaper and ignored Helian Zhen.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded until the sound of a car engine could be heard outside the door. Helian Zhen drove off. Then, Gu Tingyuan, who was on the sofa, put down the newspaper and looked up at the second floor.

In the master bedroom.
‘Mu Wan leaned against the bed frame, thinking about what Mu Qingsong and his family had done.

She had never thought that her uncle, who she was most grateful towards, would plan for Mu Chen to go to jail.

Furthermore, what exactly was the situation behind the death of Gu Tingyuan’s father? What did Chen Huijun and Mu Han mean by their words?
‘What should she do now to expose Mu Qingsong’s sins?

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she did not even realize that the drip was now empty.

As she looked around, she saw blood flowing out of the white tube on the back of her hand. Mu Wan suddenly realized that the drip had emptied. She quickly got up to replace it with the other bottle.
However, in her panic, she did not notice that her calf was still injured. She had just stood up when she fell to the ground from the intense pain.
‘Mu Wan was terrified. Just as she was about to fall off the bed, a strong arm grabbed her.

She was stunned and looked up to see who it was, but Gu Tingyuan picked her up and placed her back on the bed.

‘Mu Wan was a little stunned when she saw the man who came in suddenly.

Gu Tingyuan did not look at her directly. Instead, he helped her to replace the drip bottle.

After that, he tumed to look at Mu Wan with his cold, dark eyes.

‘The moment she met his gaze, Mu Wan’s heart tured cold.

Every time, that little bit of concern she had hoped for was just a casual gesture from him.

“Thank you.”

She lowered her head and did not look at him again. Her tone was polite.

When Gu Tingyuan heard this ‘thank you’, he felt very upset.

“Ttold you—”

“If I want to die, I should pay off my debts first!” Mu Wan interrupted him, knowing her own limits. “I know.”

Staring at her calm face, Gu Tingyuan felt upset.

He was obviously going to say the same thing, but he was very unhappy with her ‘resigned’ attitude.

His mood instantly became extremely irritable. He turned around and said, “It’s good that you know.”

With that, he left without looking back.

The door was closed with a bang. Mu Wan’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at where he had disappeared from.

This unpredictable personality seemed to be the same as it was three years ago.

In the following days, under Helian Zhen’s meticulous care, Mu Wan’s injuries gradually recovered and the scar on her calf gradually disappeared.
