Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore

When Gu Yan saw the words "Transfer Successful" appear on her phone screen, a complex wave of emotions welled up in her. Regardless of whether He Li would eventually discover this, she clearly realized that she had become the one who owed someone else. This feeling of guilt followed her like a shadow, weighing heavily on her heart.

He Li led her away from the place, and they were silent all the way. He was usually quite talkative, but at this moment he was unusually silent, which made Gu Yan feel a little strange. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling unwell?" However, He Li just responded with a look that said "nothing happened."

After returning home, Shen Anan had already prepared many snacks that Gu Yan liked.

She knew that the mistress would come back with the master today, so she made preparations in advance. Looking at these familiar delicacies in front of her, Gu Yan couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.

In just half a month, she had already experienced so much. But what was puzzling was that when Shen Anan spoke to Asan on the phone, Asan seemed to reveal a hint of resentment when he mentioned his wife.

"Madam, I tell you, you have no idea how worried Mr. was when he found out you were missing. He wanted to turn the whole Jinghai upside down. I've never seen Mr. so upset."

Shen Anan kept saying good things about He Li, and although they were all true, when Gu Yan wanted to say something in response, He Li scolded Shen Anan.

"Don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping. Have you forgotten all these rules?"

He Li rarely spoke so harshly to Shen Anan. After all, she, A Da and Asan were his close friends. So when Shen Anan heard these words, her face turned pale instantly, her body trembled involuntarily, and she almost dropped the chicken wings in her hand.

Gu Yan noticed the strange atmosphere. She frowned and looked at He Li and said, "What's wrong with you? You looked unhappy on the way back. Did something happen? If you have a problem with me, just be angry at me directly. Why involve An An? She's just a little girl. She shouldn't be under such pressure."

He Li did not respond to Gu Yan's words. He just stared at Gu Yan, and then his eyes changed: "I'm wrong, I just have a headache."

It turns out that disguising is such a difficult thing. He Li originally thought that at least before the truth was revealed, he could play the role of a bystander.

"Really? Then go upstairs and rest. I'll call a doctor for you."

"No, I just need a nap."

He Li could no longer tell whether the concern in Gu Yan's eyes was real or fake. He always thought that he was the person who knew Gu Yan best in the world, but he didn't expect that he was still just a fool like he was seven years ago.

After watching He Li go upstairs, Gu Yan turned to face Shen Anan and said softly, "Anan, I'm so sorry. A lot has happened in the past few days, which has caused He Li to be in a bad mood and physical condition. Please believe me, he didn't mean to lose his temper with you. I apologize to you on his behalf and hope you can forgive him."

Shen Anan raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and uneasiness, her lips trembling slightly, and she stammered in response: "No, it's me who doesn't know the rules and has no sense of propriety. In fact, the master has always been very good to us, but I forgot my identity. Madam, please rest assured, I'm fine. You go and take care of the master, I will boil some ginger water for him to drive away the cold." After that, she lowered her head, clenched her fists tightly, and tried to calm herself down.

When Gu Yan went upstairs to see He Li, she found that his door was locked.

It seemed that he needed to be alone more at this time.

In addition, Shen Anan downstairs was about to cut ginger, but was stopped by Asan who came upstairs.

"An An, you don't need to prepare these things. Mr. can't drink now. He is in a low mood and needs time to calm down. Also, the reason why Mr. lost his composure today is because of Madam. Madam betrayed Mr.."

An An stopped processing the ginger and just listened to Ah San continue talking.

"What Mr. scorned most in his life was betrayal, yet his wife still chose to do it. This was one of the reasons he lost his mind. So, don't be so devoted to his wife in the future. After all, she's no longer worthy. Besides you and A-da, Mr. sir is the only person we should rely on the most in this world. We must take care of Mr. sir wholeheartedly and help him get over the pain of betrayal as soon as possible."

Shen Anan had actually stopped crying a long time ago, but when she heard what Asan said, she became excited again.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Both the wife and the husband are very good people. No matter what the situation, I firmly believe that the wife would never betray him. You men always blame women, believing that everything is their fault. However, you only see the husband's dedication and true love for the wife, but turn a blind eye to the wife's sacrifices and efforts. You have no idea how much the wife has given up her own dreams and pursuits for the husband, and how she has silently endured pressure and difficulties just to support the husband's career. She manages the family with her heart, takes care of his daily life, and ensures that the husband has no worries. Her efforts and sacrifices are selfless, and you are completely unaware of this. So, please don't blame the wife so easily, and respect her choices and decisions."

Shen Anan and Gu Yan had only known each other for a short time, but the strange connection between people quickly formed a deep bond. From their first meeting, Shen Anan had a fondness for Gu Yan, and upon learning she was Mr.'s wife, this affection intensified, becoming almost impossible to conceal. Even after learning that Gu Yan had abandoned Mr. seven years prior, Shen Anan remained convinced there must be a hidden story, and this did not diminish her sympathy and understanding for her.

Ah San wasn't surprised by Shen An'an's attitude. He knew it was the result of years of overprotection from him and Ah Da. She lived in a relatively isolated environment, lacking understanding of the harsh realities of the outside world. In this world, the law of the jungle reigns supreme, and people often pursue their own interests at any cost. Love, friendship, and even family ties can be exploited. This reality left Ah San feeling helpless, but he also understood that this was the essence of survival.

Ah San stepped forward and grasped Shen Anan's shoulders. "I'm telling you this so you can be careful and not tell anyone everything. As for Madam, you haven't had much contact with her lately. Even if you don't want to believe it, you must at least do it before the 10th."

After hearing this, Shen Anan was even more confused: "Why is it number 10?"

Because that was the bidding day, San knew that that was the day when Mr. He would completely tear off his wife's disguise.

"Don't ask so many questions, just remember it."

Shen Anan hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded. She believed in the lady, but she believed even more that San would not lie to her.

After returning to her room, Gu Yan hid in the bathroom like a frightened rabbit. She closed the door tightly, as if this would isolate her from the outside world. With trembling fingers, she dialed Gu Yihuai's number. Each ring was like a knock on her heart, making her heartbeat faster and faster. However, there was no answer on the other end. Time passed, and just when Gu Yan was about to hang up, she finally heard that familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

"Is there something wrong? Why did you take so long to answer?" Gu Yan tried hard to keep her voice calm, but couldn't help revealing a hint of anxiety and dissatisfaction.

"What could it be? It just happened that my cell phone was not with me just now." Gu Yihuai's answer was still cold, even with a hint of sarcasm.

Gu Yan bit her lip. She was already used to Gu Yihuai's bad attitude. She took a deep breath and decided not to argue with him anymore. Instead, she spoke directly about what she cared about most. "I've already given you what I need to get you. When can you let my mother out?"

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then Gu Yihuai's cold voice came: "It's not that easy. At least you have to wait until I win the bid. Don't worry, your mother is doing well with me. After the 10th, you and your daughter can meet." After that, he hung up the phone.

Gu Yan listened to the busy tone and couldn't hold back her tears. She knew that Gu Yihuai's words meant that her mother would continue to endure pain and torture, and she was powerless to do anything about it. She felt extremely remorseful and guilty. If it weren't for her negligence, perhaps none of this would have happened...

Gu Yan could never have imagined that her mother had vanished from Gu Yihuai's sight. That morning, the nanny responsible for caring for Gu's mother called Gu Yihuai in a panic, informing him that Gu's mother had quietly slipped away while she went downstairs to buy breakfast. After checking the neighborhood surveillance footage, they only found her getting into a taxi and then completely disappearing.

Gu Yihuai had already used all his connections and means, but he could only find out the last place where the taxi stopped. Mother Gu seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and no one knew where she had gone.

If Gu Yan knew about this, there was no telling what would happen, so Gu Yihuai had to keep it secret, at least until he won the bid, then the matter could be exposed.

When he was on the phone just now, Gu Yihuai was afraid that Gu Yan was going to talk to her mother, so he hung up quickly.

Since returning to the manor, He Li has been using a cold as an excuse not to leave his room.

No one except Ah Da could go in to see him. Gu Yan had also been planning an escape route during these few days.

She knew that after the 10th, someone would want to kill her, so she had to prepare in advance.
