By the time Gu Yan finished her new plan, spring buds had already sprouted on the branches.

Gu Yan went to the Xie family alone. After explaining her purpose to the people in the Xie family, she waited there quietly.

Xie Yong happened to be at home today. He originally thought that after He Li’s rejection last time, Gu Yan would never come to see him again, but now she was right outside Xie’s door.

"Uncle Wang, do you think my outfit today is okay?" Xie Yong was like a young boy, afraid that he was not dressed appropriately.

"Master, you are already very handsome. It seems that you like that lady very much."

"Don't talk nonsense." After Xie Yong said this, he walked down the stairs with light steps, just like a peacock spreading its tail tail.

Gu Yan didn't expect Xie Yong to come out and open the door for her personally, which made her a little flattered.

After the two of them entered Xie's house, Xie Yong personally brewed the best tea for Gu Yan.

"I don't know if you like it, maybe coffee instead."

Gu Yan waved her hands repeatedly. She wasn't here as a guest. "No, no, this is great. I'm really sorry for last time."

"I wonder what the relationship between you and He Li is?" In Xie Yong's opinion, He Li's behavior last time was clearly jealousy.

Xie Yong's question made Gu Yan stunned for a moment: "Actually, He Li and I were college classmates, and now I'm his employee."

Gu Yan couldn't answer more specific questions because they were too personal.

Xie Yong knew that he was a little too impatient. At least from Gu Yan's answer, she and He Li should not have that kind of relationship.

"By the way, I carefully read the project book you gave me last time. It is indeed perfect, but I'm sorry, I can't agree."

If the person who came to deliver the project book was not Gu Yan, Xie Yong might not have given the other party a good face at all. The four words "lust makes one lose one's mind" just happened to describe him.

Gu Yan quickly expressed her sincerity: "I am indeed sorry. I was not careful enough. I wonder if Mr. Xie is willing to give me another chance."

"Didn't I tell you last time that you can call me Xie Yong or Jeffery?"

Xie Yong's attitude was too friendly. If Gu Yan hadn't come to him first, she would have suspected that he had some ulterior motive.

"Master, this is bad. The young lady is going crazy again. The master is not at home. Go and check on her!"

Uncle Wang had just brought food to Xie Rou, but Xie Rou locked herself in the room, and the sound of things being thrown could be heard from inside.

"Excuse me, please wait here for me."

"I'll go with you, maybe I can help."

Xie Yong thought about what happened to Gu Yan at the Xie family last time, and felt that there was no need to hide it from her.

It was not until the two of them arrived outside Xie Rou's door that they realized the seriousness of the problem. There were constant violent noises coming from inside, as if the house was going to be demolished.

"Sister, it's me, open the door!" For Xie Yong, his sister Xie Rou played half the role of a mother in his life. When he was a child, his father was always busy, and it was Xie Rou who took him and Xie Yan through their childhood.

"I want to see He Li, I want to see him. If he doesn't come, I will die here!" Since the last time she saw He Li, Xie Rou's madness has become more serious.

Xie Yong turned to look at Gu Yan. Now only Gu Yan could call He Li.

"Let me try." Gu Yan knocked on the door: "Xie Rou, can you open the door first, and then I'll call He Li?"

"It's you, you vixen!" Although Xie Rouren was crazy, she had a good memory and could tell the other person's identity just by the voice.

The door was opened the next moment, and Xie Rou looked horrible, with sunken cheeks, yellow eyes, and dead skin all over her lips.

Xie Rou subconsciously stretched out her hand to strangle her, but unfortunately her physical strength was too weak. Before her outstretched hand could touch Gu Yan, she fell straight down.

"sister!"

Fortunately, Xie Yong reacted quickly. He hugged Xie Rou and carried her to the bed.

The ground was in a mess, with debris and papers everywhere. Gu Yan picked up a piece of paper and took a look. There were two big words written on it: "Ali".

The servants of the Xie family were cleaning the house. Xie Rou had just overexerted herself and had fallen asleep. Xie Yong had asked Uncle Wang to call the family doctor.

Gu Yan held the piece of paper in front of Xie Yong and asked, "Is it really He Li that Xie Rou likes?"

Anyone who sees Xie Rou going crazy for He Li will feel that her feelings for him are very deep. If she likes someone so much, would she even write his name wrong?

And if He Li and Xie Rou really had a relationship, how could the Xie family not avenge Xie Rou?

More importantly, Gu Yan believed He Li. If he had done it, he would not deny it.

The servant had cleaned up the room and left, leaving only the three of them in the room.

Xie Yong knew that Gu Yan had guessed it.

"Indeed, my sister doesn't like He Li."

Xie Yong tucked Xie Rou's blanket and said calmly, "My sister was a member of the Jinghai Armed Police Force three years ago. Unfortunately, she was kidnapped by criminals during a mission. Everyone thought she was dead, but she returned safe and sound three months later."

"While our family was immersed in the joy that my sister was fine, we didn't know that she had fallen in love with the person who had kidnapped her."

Gu Yan did not interrupt Xie Yong's thoughts, but just waited quietly for him to continue.

Xie Yong didn't know much about Xie Rou. He only knew that his sister was obsessed with a man named Chen Li, a lowly person who lived at the bottom of society by working as a thug.

"Not long after, my father found out about this. He would never allow the Xie family to stray from the orthodoxy, so he used the Xie family's authority to nearly force Chen Li to death. That's why my sister completely broke off relations with my father."

"and after?"

"Later, my sister planned to elope with Chen Li. She was willing to give up everything to be with that gangster. However, on the day they planned to escape, Chen Li died, and my sister was shot in the head. After waking up, she was completely transformed into what she is now."

I didn't expect that Xie Rou's past was so spectacular. Apart from anything else, few people can compare to her sincerity.

Gu Yan felt sorry for Xie Rou and the deceased Chen Li. Although she didn't know what happened in the end, the courage of a person to pursue his love so bravely was something she couldn't do.

"Then why does she think she loves He Li?"

"The news about Chen Li's death and Haisheng Group's listing were in the same newspaper. My sister couldn't understand what was in it, but she just kept crying. To stop her from being immersed in the vague past, we all lied to her and told her that He Li was her former lover and that he couldn't be with her because she was sick."

Xie Yong's words instantly angered Gu Yan: "How could you do this? Why do you want He Li to bear the crime of being a heartless person? What did your sister do wrong? She has already lost her lover, and you are so cruel as to take away her remaining feelings!"

Gu Yan's words were like a sharp blade that tore off the Xie family's fig leaf, and Xie Yong was unable to refute it.

Because deep down in his heart he also thought it was wrong, and more importantly he discovered Gu Yan's true heart.
