She panicked and covered the man's wound with her hands to prevent him from bleeding so fiercely. She quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed 120, but because her hands were shaking too much, the call could not be dialed...

The man's face was getting paler due to excessive blood loss, but he tried hard to smile at her, opened his mouth, and said in a weak voice, "Little girl, can you forgive me now?"

She shed tears uncontrollably and nodded vigorously, "Uncle, don't die! Don't..."

The man's eyes seemed to have lost focus for an instant and closed...

"do not want!"

Gu Xinxin woke up with a start!

"Miss Gu, are you okay?"

Opening her eyes, she saw the maid looking at her with worry, "Miss Gu, you are sweating a lot. Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call the doctor to come and take a look at you?"

Gu Xinxin shook her head in shock, sat up and waved her hands, "No, I'm fine."

The maid handed her a tissue and asked her to wipe her sweat first, and then went to pour her a glass of warm water...

Gu Xinxin's breathing was a little unsteady, and her chest was still throbbing.

The heartbreaking feeling in the dream made her unable to get out of it, knowing that it was just a dream.

She just wanted to draw a clear line with him and didn't want the man to die.

So suffocating!

It's really strange, how could she suddenly have such a dream?

She took the warm water handed to her by the maid, took a sip to calm down her shock, and let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, Jiang Canyang came back with a face...

Um? Did she sleep for an hour?

Gu Xinxin took another sip of water and asked Jiang Canyang calmly, "How is it? Have you charmed Xiao Xi?"

Jiang Canyang had a dark face and said nothing, then went upstairs with a look of dismay!

Sister Yin Xi pretended not to know him, ignored him the whole time, and even refused to eat with him!

Is it really funny that he's dressed like this?

Depend on! So annoying!

Women are so hard to please!

Seeing Jiang Canyang go upstairs dejectedly, Gu Xinxin raised her eyebrows. She was not surprised at all, it was all expected.

Yin Xi hates artificial things the most, so it's strange that he would care about that kid.

She lowered her head and looked at her phone. After Huo Xiangyin sent that sentence "Ignore people again", there were no more harassing messages.

rare!

Gu Xinxin was feeling a little uneasy, but she couldn't tell what was causing her uneasiness...

She must be thinking too much!

Who in this world dares to offend their Huo family, who dares to offend him, Huo Xiangyin? Aren't you looking for death?

After eating the nutritional meal customized for her by the nutritionist Jiang Lieyang hired her at noon, Gu Xinxin began to rewatch old dramas to stop herself from thinking about what was there and what was not.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Jiang Lieyang came back.

Qingyun followed behind his eldest son, holding two large bags of hot pot ingredients purchased from the supermarket.

Jiang Lieyang walked to the sofa and gently touched the head of Gu Xinxin, who was watching the drama. "Xinxin, brother is back. I have bought all the hot pot you want to eat. You can eat it soon."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work." Gu Xinxin responded absently.

After being served by the servants and taking off his coat, Jiang Lieyang sat down next to Gu Xinxin elegantly and said, "There is also the thing you want most. I also brought it back to you."

Gu Xinxin's eyes then moved away from the TV screen and turned to Jiang Lieyang, "What do I want most?"

Is it...

Jiang Lieyang reached out and rubbed his fingers.

Then, several servants carried a painting in front of Gu Xixin, and lifted off the dust-proof white cloth covering the painting...

Gu Xinxin's dim eyes suddenly lit up, it was Qing He's self-portrait!

The woman in the painting has drooped eyebrows, with sadness and despair in her eyes, but she seems to have a very contrasting and tenacious desire to survive, as if there is something else that she can't let go of?

There are some fine lines at the corners of the woman's eyes, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of her nose are also slightly deeper. She doesn't look like she did when she was thirty years old...

If it was really her mother's hand, then after her mother sent her to Gu's family for foster care, she should have escaped pursuit, was still alive, and could have painted this self-portrait for herself many years later...

Could it be that my mother is actually still alive now?

Jiang Lieyang looked at the painting, his expression changed slightly, and he was filled with emotion.

He is ten years older than Gu Xinxin, and his memory of his mother is much deeper than that of his sister...

After a long time, Gu Xinxin came back to her senses from the painting, tilted her head, looked at Jiang Lieyang in confusion, and asked: "How come you got it in just one day?"

She thought Huo Xiangyin would cling to this painting!

Jiang Lieyang actually found it incredible, "It went unexpectedly well! I went to Huo's to find Huo Xiangyin in the afternoon, and without saying a few words, he sent someone to bring the painting directly to me."

Gu Xinxin felt it was a bit outrageous, "Is it that simple? He didn't give you any problems?"

Jiang Lieyang nodded and said, "No, he didn't ask for money either."

Gu Xinxin frowned, "How can you not give him money? It's nothing if you don't want money! Didn't I tell you how much I would give you? If you don't give her money, aren't I taking advantage of him?"

Jiang Lieyang looked at his sister deeply and explained: "I gave it, but he didn't want it. He also said that if he wanted to give it, let me give the money to you. It's the same as saying that I would give it to you. You should take care of the money."

Gu Xinxin frowned and twitched the corners of her mouth.

It's as if there is any relationship between the two of them!

She wanted to draw a clear line between herself and that man, so she muttered, "Who cares about his money! Forget it, I'll ask him how much he paid for the painting later, and I'll transfer it to him myself!"

Jiang Lieyang said warmly: "Brother, will you give me money?"

Gu Xinxin waved her hand, "No, I have money myself!"

Jiang Lieyang sighed helplessly, not knowing when his sister would truly regard him as her own brother and accept his money and care.

"Brother, go and prepare hot pot for you. I'll call you when it's ready."

Gu Xinxin nodded.

After Jiang Lieyang walked away, Gu Xinxin picked up the phone.

After hesitating for a while, she typed out a line of text and sent it to Huo Xiangyin: [Mr. Huo, how much did the painting cost? 】

After waiting for a minute, the man replied: [Not much money. 】

Gu Xinxin made a serious expression: [Say as much as you can, I don’t want to owe you anything! 】

Huo Xiangyin: [You don’t owe me anything. 】

Gu Xinxin didn't want to talk nonsense to him anymore, so she doubled the average market price of Qinghe paintings before and transferred a huge sum of money to the man!

A black car driving on a country road.

Huo Xiangyin lowered his eyes and stared at the large transfer on his phone, his brows furrowed and his eyes dark.

Without clicking at all, the man simply locked the screen and put away his phone.

Zheng Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, turned around and respectfully reported the situation to his superiors:

"Young Master, he's right in front! The sneaky man who sent you the letter we found through surveillance, after he left the company, we found out through the surveillance of the transportation network that he ran here!"
