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.
