One day, Gu Yan returns to the Wen family. Just entering the hall, she finds that the desk is full of prize cups and merit certificates won by Wen Yunfeng in childhood. One old lady holds the hands of a girl aged over twenty and smiles from ear to ear.
“Grandma, Brother Yunfeng has been so outstanding since childhood.” The girl holds one cup and her eyes are full of worship.
The old lady smiles kindly. “Ho Ho, Mu, Feng has been very clever since childhood. Moreover, he also takes good care of people. You will know this if you get along with him in the future. Your child...”
The two are chatting happily, without noticing that Gu Yan has come.
Child? Gu Yan is rather frustrated, and she is about to ask. The steward by the side reminds in a hurry: “Lady.”
“Hum?”
On hearing this, the old lady stops, and she eventually finds Gu Yan standing at the gate.
Suddenly, the warm atmosphere disappears instantly. The kind and smiling old lady straightens her face immediately, and shouts to Gu Yan angrily; “ Aren’t you looking for another man outside? Why do you come back?”
Gu Yan stands in the original site awkwardly and tries to smile: “Grandma, I know Yunfeng has returned from abroad today. I didn’t meet him in the company, so I come back to see if he has come back.”
On hearing Gu Yan calling her, the old lady stands up all of a sudden and she stares at Gu Yan venomously, screaming: “Don’t call me grandma. Who is your grandma? Get out of here.”
Gu Yan stands in situ with a gift box. She wants to explain but she doesn’t know how.
The girl who is always looking Gu Yan up and down asks suddenly: “Grandma, who is she?”
The old lady pats her hand. She speaks in a more gentle voice, but with still venomous words: “Just one dirty loose woman. Mu, don’t look at her. She will dirty your eyes.”
“OK!” The girl darts a look at Gu Yan who is still rigid in the original place and nods her head obediently.
Gu Yan pinches the ribbon of the gift box, lowers her head and keeps silent. Bitter and grievance melt in her heart slowly.
“Why are you still here?” The old lady shouts. On seeing that Gu Yan still lowers her head and stands in situ, she pulls up the girl in a huff, “Let’s go. We clean person should keep away from her dirty body.”
When passing by Gu Yan, she deliberately takes the girl to detour far away and covers her nose. It seems that Gu Yan has been infected with some virus or pestilence.
Gu Yan is still rigid in the original site. Despite of the full tears in her eyes, she raises her head stubbornly to flow back the tears into sockets.
She has clearly paid a lot for the Wen family, but why she has to suffer from such grievance and sneer? She can’t understand.
In the two years, since her uterine younger sister: Liu Lanfei disclosed her pregnancy and parturition, she has suffered a lot of sarcasm and scornful look.
She really wants to tell them the truth. However, she has signed an agreement with Mo Yichen and she should keep confidential the event, so as to give his child a quiet growth environment, otherwise, he could take measures to attack the Wen family.
For Wen Yunfeng, she could even surrogate for others. How could she endure hurting Wen Yunfeng like this? Therefore, Gu Yan always keeps silent for this, and others gradually have a deeper misunderstanding of her.
Eventually, everyone has confirmed that she is a wanton. Nobody believes in her even if she wants to explain for herself.
The steward shakes the head and makes a sigh. He walks forward and takes over the gift box.
He looks at Gu Yan with sympathy, and he can’t help to remind her: “Young lady. That girl is the granddaughter of the old lady’s friend. The old lady...seems to admit her into the Wen family.”
Gu Yan tries hard to smile: “Grandpa steward, I don’t mind others’ opinions. I care Yunfeng only.”
The steward still bears her kindness in memory because Gu Yan sent him the activating oil in the night when he fell and hurt himself last time. He says with sincere words and earnest wishes: “Young lady, you have to make more efforts. As long as the childe doesn’t admit, no others can replace you.”
“OK. I will!” Gu Yan nods her head with strength. Thinking of the pleasant chatting situation between the girl and the old lady, she can’t help asking: “Has Yunfeng...come back?”
The steward smiles: “Not yet. But the childe called before and he said he would come back soon.”
“All right.” Gu Yan is excited to red cheeks. The missing is the most painful. Since Wen Yunfeng started to develop subsidiary corporations out of the city, she almost hasn’t seen him.
“OK, grandpa steward, I will wait upstairs. Please call me when Yunfeng comes back.”
“OK!” The old steward answers in smiles.
The room is simply decorated. The hollow bookshelf and the engraved dresser are old objects she saw in childhood. After so many years, they are still the same as the ones in her memory.
She sits on the woodcutting bed and watches the familiar decoration in front of her. Her thoughts float away.
She was originally a girl in the countryside. Soon after she was told to have a husband and son prospering fate by an old Taoist priest, she was delivered to the Wen family and had an identity of a child bride.
They are childhood sweetheart and find each other congenial. She grows up under the care of Wen Yunfeng. They have met for thousands of days and nights. Her deep love for Wen Yunfeng is accumulated in these days.
However, Wen Yunfeng is extremely cold to her and seldom contacts her in the two years. But she forever remembers his caring.
She still remembers that the dry leaf under the drawer in the dresser is the one Wen Yunfeng protects her head and pulls her running in heavy rain.
The candies in the jewel case...are used by Wen Yunfeng to comfort her when she tumbles and cries.
The rubber bands in the bedside table are used by Wen Yunfeng to cheer her up when she is ill.
She could remember all these. But it seems that Wen Yunfeng has forgotten...
He dislikes her and avoids her.
But she still loves him deeply.
The cellphone rings happily to break Gu Yan’s memory. On seeing the number of the coming call, she is excited and delighted, her heart is beating very fast. Yunfeng calls her actively.
After a deep breath, Gu Yan presses the answer key solemnly.
“Hi, Yun...”
Just the first two words, her cheerful sound is interrupted by the cold voice: “Where are you?”
“Ah?” Wen Yunfeng’s frozen and distant tone is just as the cold water spilling over her head. After coming to sense, she answers blankly: “at, at home.”
Gu Yan feels a bit bitter in her mouth. It seems that she is still habitual to the warm and elegant sound, intoxicating her like the violoncello.
“I have ordered a necklace in Xifu Jewelry. Go to take it. I will wait for you in Room 604 in Hai Shang Lan Tian Hotel. Tell grandma I will not come back today.”
Not come back? Will they stay in the hotel overnight?
Gu Yan stares blankly at the phone that has been hanged, thinking about the words of Wen Yunfeng. Red glows gradually fly to her cheeks, and finally, her entire neck and ears turn red.
The jewelry of Xifu Jewelry Store indeed lives up to its name. The glittering and translucent blue stone is matched with the silvery platinum collet. The blue and white colors respectively represent the sky and sea. The jewelry has a beautiful name: Love of Sky and Sea. “Really beautiful.” Gu Yan touches the necklace lightly. Her eyes are blurred and she presents a happy and sweet smile. It seems that she has seen the postponed wedding ceremony between her and Wen Yunfeng. Observing her happiness, the shop assistant smiles and incites her: “Miss, don’t you have a try? Your husband really has good taste. The necklace quite matches your skin and temperament.” Try it? Gu Yan’s eyes are shining. Her hands touch the necklace sentimentally. She is a little tempted, but she still hesitates. Will Yunfeng be happy if she puts on it now? The shop assistant explains carefully: “Love between S
Gu Yan bites her teeth with tears. She crouches to pick up the sweater, cleans it and folds it up carefully. “I won’t put it on. What’s the use of treasuring it?” Wen Yunfeng sneers. “It is not for you. I bought it for my colleague.” Gu Yan tries hard to hold back her tears. She holds the sweater in her arms and shows an indifference expression: “I will go now if you have no other things.” After saying this, one of her hands is pulled over by Wen Yunfeng with strength. A sudden dizziness overpowers, Gu Yan is pulled into the room rudely and thrown onto bed heavily. Before Gu Yan has the time to struggle, Wen Yunfeng bends over and depresses her under the body. His evil lips and alienated eyes are full of sneer: “Which colleague of you? Why is such a coincidence? He has the same size, and even the same favorite color as me.” The face which has appeared in Gu Yan’s dreams for numero
Gu Yan thinks that the resentment in Wen Yunfeng’s heart caused by the surrogacy must have been settled after the humiliation to her yesterday. The remaining is that they will be strangers on the same road. It is out of her expectation that he will bring her to the wine table. “Miss Gu, one more drink, otherwise I will feel humiliated.” A corpulent man seems to be greatly interested in Gu Yan. His flirting eyes are always looking Gu Yan up and down. Moreover, he has already propelled Gu Yan to drink five cups of wine at the very beginning of the banquet. Gu Yan has red cheeks and blurred eyes. Obviously, she will soon get drunk. She waves her hands and refuses at once: “Mr. Huang, really sorry. I can’t drink. It’s true.” “Miss Gu, you are modest. Wen takes you out. You must be a heavy drinker. Come on. Cheers.” With this, the man grasps Gu Yan’s arm and tries to pour the wine into her mouth. “Mr. Huang...cou
In trance, the man in front of Gu Yan turns into Wen Yunfeng, who wipes her tears sympathetically in her memory. “Aw...” Gu Yan cries loudly all of a sudden, and she hugs “Wen Yunfeng” tightly in excitement. All her sadness is turned into the grievance. Just like a child being bullied in the outside finally comes back home, requiring no patience or depression, all the grievances burst out in an instant. “I know you still love me. You want me. I know it. They treat me unjustly and bully me...” Gu Yan is crying to hiccups. Her shed streams of tears and mucus smear Mo Yichen’s shoulder. Mo Yichen frowns and raises his hand. Instead of tearing Gu Yan from her body, he just pats her back and comforts her: “All right. Don’t be afraid.” Is he infected by the woman’s emotion? His heart seems to suffer a slight pain as well, which is unable to be ignored. Gu Yan doesn’t quiet down unti
She has already heard such unpleasant voices and words for numerous times. Looking at this acerb old woman, Gu Yan presses the emotions in her heart and says calmly: "Grandma, I am going to discuss withYunfeng. I will leave soon after the discussion." After saying this, Gu Yan shows a misery smile. She looks around and says slowly: “This might be the last time for me to come to Wen house.”She paid all she had and even sold her uterus to engage in surrogacy. However, she fails to obtain any sympathy from the man. Just as the paper shows: cut the knob. She has decided to leave, then nobody will hurt her...The saying of Gu Yan calms down the old lady. She looks at Gu Yan with suspicion, and presents an angry expression on her wrinkled face: “That will be fine. If you dare to come next time, I will ask someone to drive you out with the besom.”She vomits a mouth of saliva under Gu Yan’s feet and leaves in swearing....
Wen Yunfeng sneers: “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to get divorced with me? This is a big customer. If you can satisfy him, and Wen company wins the big customer successfully, I will agree to get divorced with you.” Gu Yan couldn’t expect that Wen Yunfeng would put forward such an outrageous requirement: “What do you want? Don’t you believe that I will agree with your shameless requirement? Do you feel happy by humiliating me like this?”Wen Yunfeng pinches his fingers. He approaches Gu Yan and says in a low voice near her ear: “No? Aren’t you looking for a job? I have asked someone to arrange for you. Nobody dares to recruit you.”After listening to Wen Yunfeng’s words, Gu Yan looks incredulously at the man who is proud of himself. This man is already a stranger in her eyes at this moment. He is no longer the one she loves. She has clearly observed his true face just as pushing aside the clouds and mists till then.After
Mo Yichen held a meeting with the senior administrators of Nanfeng Hotel today. After the meeting, he plans to make an inspection tour of the hotel. He selects one floor randomly. The elevator stops at the eighth floor. Mo Yichen walks out and he checks the empty rooms of the eighth floor. Well, the rooms are very clean.When Mo Yichen comes out of the room, he vaguely hears a woman crying for help. He frowns. Why would someone call for help? Therefore, he looks around following the sound because he wants to check what has happened.He follows the sound and gets to a corner. The sound comes from the corner. When he reaches Room 804, he sees a man pulling a woman into the room. Any brainy person realizes what has happened. Mo Yichen walks over in a hurry.Gu Yan’s struggling head inclines to the direction of Mo Yichen, so that Mo Yichen could see clearly who she is.“Let me go. Let me go. Help...” Gu Yan keeps on s
“Ah, I fail to recognize that she belongs to President Mo. President Mo, it is my careless fault. I make a mistake. Please raise your hand high in mercy. Please do not hit me. Aw, it really hurts.”Mo Yichen looks at Zhang Shi'an with a scorning expression. His tone becomes even colder: “I can let you go. Keep away from the woman whenever you meet her in the future. Moreover, you have to deal with the event today. I don’t want to have any information being disclosed. You know I am not patient.”“OK, OK. I will follow your instructions.” Zhang Shi'an can only answer obsequiously. However, he is indignantly resenting the unlucky day today. He is really very angry.An event pops into Mo Yichen’s mind all of a sudden.He puts down Gu Yan and walks towards Zhang Shi'an. In the end, he says the last sentence in staring at Zhang Shi'an’s frightened eyes: “You are not allowed to cooperate with Wen company in the future for any project. Do
