Mr. Gu, stop being abusive, Miss Xu is marrying your brother.

"Absent justice is no longer justice in itself..." In Gu Chenyan's view, he has lost his mother, and even if justice comes, it will be too late.

"But if justice doesn't come, we won't be willing to do it." Xu Yan held Gu Chenyan's finger.

"You are right. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. You will always be punished."

Gu Chenyan nodded.

……

Gu Chengcheng’s residence.

Maybe Gu Chengcheng had really changed. He was busy in the kitchen with Shen Xinghe wearing an apron, and his body and face were covered in flour.

Maybe her son's running away from home scared her, or maybe she really woke up and realized that she had lacked care for her children all these years.

"Xinghe, are you a little rabbit? Are you a little piggy?" Gu Chengcheng smiled, laughing at the little dough his son made.

Shen Xinghe also smiled, happily swaying in his mother's arms. "Mom, this is a little rabbit. This is steamed for Xia Xia to eat."

"Xinghe likes Xia Xia so much." Gu Chengcheng sighed, squatted in front of his son, and spoke solemnly. "Xinghe, mom is sorry for you and Xia Xia. Mom is here to apologize to you."

Xinghe held her mother's face and kissed her forehead. "Mom, I forgive you."

Gu Chengcheng felt warm in his heart and his nose was a little sore. "Mom didn't notify Uncle Zheyu about the baby's birthday. Can you wait until mom takes you back to grandma's house tomorrow and ask uncle to help you make up for it?"

Xinghe asked stupidly. "Why didn't you inform Uncle Zheyu? But I have already...notified uncle."

Xinghe didn't know about the grudges between the adults. She only knew that he was having a great birthday today, so he called his uncle.

Gu Chengcheng opened his mouth in astonishment, this little kid... he didn't open any pot.

If Gu Zheyu comes, Xu Yan will be embarrassed.

Sighing, Gu Chengcheng wanted to call Gu Zheyu and tell him not to come today, but the doorbell rang.

Gu Chengcheng went to open the door, and Gu Zheyu...had already arrived, quite early.

"Xinghe, happy birthday." Gu Zheyu opened his hands to Shen Xinghe, and his assistant brought in two large boxes of toys and gifts from outside.

"Wow, thank you uncle, I love you uncle." Shen Xinghe rushed up and hugged Gu Zheyu, saying happily.

Gu Zheyu picked up Xinghe and went to the side to wipe his face. "What is your mother doing with you? You have a face full of flour."

"Um, Zheyu..." Gu Chengcheng was a little embarrassed. "If you want to make up for it, don't stay for dinner. Just deliver the gift. You can go back quickly. I will take Xinghe back tomorrow. Go back quickly. I have guests at the moment."

Gu Chengcheng chased Gu Zheyu away.

Gu Zheyu frowned. "What kind of guest are you? I can't stay?"

Just as Gu Chengcheng was about to explain, the doorbell rang.

it's over...

Gu Chengcheng was discouraged.

Xinghe happily rushed over and opened the door to see Xiaobao and Xiaxia standing outside wearing Santa Claus clothes and holding gifts.

"Kid Shen Xinghe, are you ready to receive your gift?" Xia Xia said happily.

Shen Xinghe jumped and clapped his hands excitedly. "Yes! Ready."

Xia Xia first gave her greeting card to Shen Xinghe, and Xiaobao also gave her greeting card to Shen Xinghe.

As soon as Shen Xinghe opened it, he was startled by Xiaobao's greeting card. "Happy birthday."

Xu Yan and Gu Chenyan also walked in and gave Xinghe red envelopes and gifts respectively.

The air felt a little awkward for a moment, it was quite like a crematorium.

Gu Zheyu sat on the sofa, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Standing up unnaturally, Gu Zheyu looked at Xu Yan, with only Xu Yan in his eyes. "Yanyan..."

Gu Chenyan frowned. "We came here and you called him."

Gu Chengcheng looked apologetic. "Brother...I'm sorry."

"What did you say to him that you're sorry? I'm Xinghe's uncle. Why did Xinghe call me for his birthday?" Gu Zheyu said unconvinced. He had been suppressed by Gu Chenyan all his life, and now he has to hide it for his nephew's birthday?

Gu Chenyan ignored Gu Zheyu.

Gu Zheyu didn't want to talk to Gu Chenyan either.

"Yanyan..." He just wanted to talk to Xu Yan.

But Xu Yan didn't want to talk to him either.

"What a coincidence." Xu Yan said awkwardly, keeping a safe distance from Gu Zheyu, otherwise her family would be jealous again soon.

"Yanyan, can we chat?" Gu Zheyu took the opportunity to chat with Xu Yan.

"There's nothing to talk about...I heard that Zhong Wantong has been discharged from the hospital." Xu Yan smiled softly.

Although she was using Gu Zheyu now, Gu Zheyu had hurt her before, so Xu Yan had nothing to feel guilty about.

Zhong Wantong was discharged from the hospital, but they were not divorced yet.

"Yanyan..." Gu Zheyu spoke nervously while Gu Chenyan wasn't paying attention. "Yanyan, can you wait for me?"

"I can't wait for you anymore, Gu Zheyu, you've been keeping me waiting since you were eighteen years old."

Xu Yan shook her head, feeling that her past self was ridiculous.

Wait, Yanyan, wait until we graduate.

Wait, Yanyan, wait until we get engaged.

Wait, Xu Yan, wait for you to come out of prison...

Wait, Xu Yan, wait until you have redeemed your sins.

Gu Zheyu's face was not very good, and he sat on the sofa slumped. "Yanyan, Zhong Wantong may have something against my father. He doesn't agree to our divorce now."

"What handle does Zhong Wantong have? Let her take it out and let's take a look." Xu Yan said calmly. "It's a lie if you can't get it out, right? Only you and your dad believe it. It's really sad."

Gu Zheyu was stunned for a moment.

Yes, what leverage does Zhong Wantong have against Gu Xingye?

What if Zhong Wantong didn't have those handles at all, but deliberately threatened Gu Xingye to protect her?

After looking at the time, Gu Zheyu stood up suddenly. "Sister, take care of Xinghe. I have some things to deal with. I'm leaving first!"

He has to go home and ask Zhong Wantong where the handle is!

If she didn't, it was intentional.

Xu Yan woke him up with one sentence.

If Zhong Wantong has evidence and holds it in his hands, then he can also get this evidence to deal with Gu Xingye in the future.

"Goodbye, uncle." Xinghe waved to Gu Zheyu.

In the whole room, only Xinghe liked Gu Zheyu.

Gu Zheyu left, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and let him go home and mess with Zhong Wantong.

"Buzz." Xu Yan's cell phone rang.

It's a strange phone call.

"Xu Yan...it's me." It was Zhong Yunxiu on the other side of the phone. She seemed to be scared and her voice was trembling. "Zhong Wantong is crazy. She wants me dead. She is looking for someone to kill me."

"Don't worry, tell me your address and I'll send someone over." Xu Yan comforted Zhong Wantong.

"I found it, I found the evidence!" Zhong Yunxiu's voice was hoarse. "Xu Yan, I put the evidence in a safe place. I can't give it to you in person. Xu Yan... Zhong Wantong won't let me go. It's too late."

Xu Yan froze.

Zhong Yunxiu, is there no way to escape?

"Xu Yan, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry. Do you remember the lecture room... in our high school? I once put a razor blade in your ballet shoes out of jealousy..."

Zhong Yunxiu seemed afraid to tell where the place was, so she could only remind Xu Yan.

After saying that, she hung up the phone in a hurry.

Xu Yan stood there, recalling those not very good memories.

Cabinet No. 12 is the cabinet where she stores her ballet shoes.

That day, Zhong Yunxiu pried open her cabinet and put a razor blade inside her ballet shoes.
