Be in low spirits

The guard took her to an office and asked her to wait there.

She was a little uneasy, not knowing what to ask or what the purpose of meeting her was.

The office door was pushed open, and a group of people came in talking and laughing. She quickly stood up.

"Are you the daughter of the Gu family?" the president asked after looking her over.

"Yes." She lowered her head, not daring to speak loudly.

"Look up and talk." He walked to the desk, sat down, and ordered someone to pour tea.

Gu Jinluo raised his head and looked at the group of people in front of him. The president sitting there was intimidating without being angry. He was a little older and no other emotions could be seen.

"What's your name? Gu..."

"Gu Jinluo." Ye Liangyun added.

"Well, why did you choose such a name? Is there any meaning?"

"My mother loved hibiscus the most. She died in the delivery room when I was born. In addition, I was born in September. My father said that the day when the hibiscus flower falls is the day when my mother's soul returns to the earth, so he named me Hibiscus Fall." She answered while standing. Thinking of her mother, she didn't know whether she should be sad.

"Look, I told you, Zhiqiu has always been a romantic man. Sit down." He picked up the document in front of him and began to review it.

"I heard that you also went to Shengze?"

"Yes."

"This Xingzhi, he has always been calm and self-controlled, but he has been impulsive many times because of you. It's really rare." After reviewing the documents, he sat on the sofa in front of them and talked to them.

"It wasn't his fault that someone got beaten up in the opera house." Gu Jinluo wanted to explain the reason to him.

"I heard that Shengze's incident was caused by your attack, which enabled him to take such drastic measures. If it were before, he would have been indecisive for ten days or half a month. You have helped him grow a lot, hahaha."

After listening to this, he still didn't get the point. What exactly did he want to ask? He knew all these things.

"Sir, you are so complimentary."

"Ms. Gu, do you not like the engagement between me and your father?" The teacup was put back on the table, and the office was eerily quiet.

"In the New Republic, I believe that freedom and democracy should be upheld, and young people should also have a say." She picked up the tea and took a sip.

Ye Liangyun appeared to be calm on the surface, but after hearing what she said, he still felt somewhat panicked.

"Well, Miss Gu is indeed back from overseas. This makes your father and I seem old-fashioned. So, Liang Yun, please make some arrangements for Miss Gu and let her live in the Presidential Palace for a while."

She stood up and wanted to say something. Why was she being put under house arrest? "Sir..."

Ye Liangyun stopped her and replied, "Yes, I'll arrange it."

The president stood up and explained, "Don't get me wrong, Miss Gu. I just want to see how impulsive this Xing Zhi can be."

"But..." She wanted to say something else, but was carried out by the guards.

The room was fully stocked. She grabbed Ye Liangyun, wanting to know if she had said anything wrong. Before she could ask, Ye Liangyun said, "Since the president has spoken, Miss Gu, just stay here and rest assured. I will send someone to pass on the message to your brother."

"But...Xingzhi..." She frowned, having never expected things to turn out like this.

"Xingzhi is my nephew. Miss Gu, don't worry. The president has his own plans." Ye Liangyun couldn't figure out his leader's routine, so he didn't say much.

The door was closed and she was the only one left. She ran to the window to look, but the floor was a bit high and she couldn't climb down. There was a guard at the door and no phone. The maid in the mansion gave her some clean clothes.

She pulled the maid to ask about the situation outside, but no one spoke to her. She lay on the bed, feeling very bored.

Gu Lang was also surprised when he received the news. The messenger said that the person was safe, but the inexplicable house arrest made him feel uneasy. He paced back and forth in the room, and wanted to see Secretary Ye but was rejected several times. In desperation, he could only ask General Yang about the situation.

When General Yang heard that his future daughter-in-law was put in solitary confinement by the president, he became nervous. Could it be that something bad is going to happen to the Gu family?

After meeting, after hearing what Gu Lang said, he realized that the Gu family didn't know the reason either. He said politely: "I just heard about this too. Don't worry, Master Gu. I'll ask around. Maybe it's not a big deal. Maybe the president wants to hear her play a song." He said this, but in his heart he was wondering whether he should find an excuse to cancel the marriage.

"Thank you for your attention, General Yang. I have prepared some gifts for you and will have someone take them back later." For Gu Jinluo, Gu Lang took care of everything and spent every penny that was needed.

"Mr. Gu, you are too polite. We are all family." Every time General Yang saw the Gu family, they would take a lot of things. But this time he was a little hesitant.

Ye Fan couldn't find any excuse to see his sweetheart, and all the military affairs in Shengze were reported to him, so he was busy dealing with them. Yang Lin only learned from his old father that Gu Jinluo was locked up, so he hurried to find him.

"Xingzhi, don't worry about military affairs for now, listen to me." He pushed the door open anxiously, and without caring what Ye Fan was holding, he slapped the gourd away and said, "This Gu Jinluo has been locked up by your uncle."

He wanted to be angry at first, but after hearing the news about Luo Luo, he became anxious again, "Locked up? What's the reason?"

"It's not clear yet, but according to my father it has been a few days." He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself some water, scalding his hands in anxiety.

"I'll ask Uncle San." He also became anxious.

Gu Jinluo was very bored staying in the room. He stared at the chopsticks in his hand while eating. He picked up two bites of food and put them in his mouth. Then he started pretending to have a stomachache, holding his stomach, frowning and shouting that he was in pain.

The guards called a doctor for her, but the doctor couldn't find the cause. He asked the servants what they had for lunch. While they were looking up the menu, she asked, "Did they have hairy crabs?"

One of the girls said, "Yes, the chef mixed some crab roe into the rice."

"It's probably an allergy," the doctor concluded. She struggled to sit up and said, "Then I have to go to the hospital for an IV drip." We can't keep her locked up any longer.

"Miss, please lie down first. Doctor Zhang will prescribe medicine for you." The maid arranged the pillow for her and helped her lie down again.

Doctor Zhang prescribed some medicine, and the servants in the mansion skillfully arranged for her to have an IV drip. She lay on the bed, looking at the bottle, speechless.

In the president's office, Ye Liangyun was reporting on his work. The president was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar and asked, "Has Xingzhi not received the news yet?"

"Ji Huai went to see him today, and he's probably on his way to the secretary's office right now."

"Are you used to living here, little girl?"

"The servant came to report that she was sick. Doctor Zhang went to see her and found her on an IV drip. I guess she wanted to be sent to the hospital and run away from the hospital." Ye Liangyun smiled. This little girl had a lot of ideas. One moment she mentioned the vent in the bathroom, the next she used the excuse of buying clothes, and this time she did it herself.

"Haha, interesting. Liangyun, young people are still the best." The president envied their attitude towards love and their vitality.

"I'm young and haven't suffered much." Ye Liangyun still couldn't figure out what this leader was thinking.

"Liangyun, if we move up the engagement date, do you think Xingzhi will try to snatch it away?" He looked at Ye Liangyun and asked tentatively.

"A woman wouldn't make him so impulsive." Ye Liangyun could tell from it, and he just hoped that his nephew would consider the overall situation.

"You are old after all. If Xingzhi were here, he would definitely not think so." The more casually the president laughed, the more panicked Ye Liangyun felt.

"Don't panic. If he dares to rob her, I will agree." The president put down his cigar, walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said, "Go ahead and tell him that the girl is safe with me."

After Ye Liangyun left, he sighed. If he really told Xingzhi about this, he would probably really try to snatch it, and he wouldn't be able to figure out what the leader meant.

Ye Fan was indeed waiting in the Secretary-General's office, pacing back and forth anxiously in the office.

"You came here for your sweetheart, right?" He looked at his nephew and wondered how he could raise such a madman. He said he wanted to lead troops to fight, but he lost his mind just because of a woman.

"Uncle San, she didn't do anything wrong. If anyone needs to be imprisoned, it should be me." He felt that no matter what the reason was, it was not her fault.

"Hehe, thanks to you, the engagement date of the Yang and Gu families has been brought forward."

"If it's because I hit someone, then I can apologize to the Su family, or, or maybe it's not about Shengze and I did something wrong..."

"But your uncle said that you can go and rob it." He didn't know whether this so-called uncle wanted to watch the show or test the Ye family's loyalty.
