Shu Mo was closest to Gu Jinhe, so she stood in front of Gu Jinhe immediately.

Wu Shuran covered her face with her hands. When she felt the burning pain on her cheeks, she was stunned for a moment and then couldn't hold it anymore. She pounced towards Gu Jinhe like crazy.

"I am going to kill you!"

At this time Shuhua also came to Gu Jinhe. She and Shumo stopped Wu Shuran and prevented her from getting close.

Gu Jinhe looked at Wu Shuran, who was looking at him with an excited expression and eyes that wished she could cut him into pieces. He slightly curved his lips and said softly:

"You are still more pleasing to the eye like this."

Hearing this, the hatred in Wu Shuran's eyes almost solidified into substance. She couldn't push away Shuhua and Shumo who were blocking her way. She could only point a gloomy finger at Gu Jinhe and said viciously: "You will regret it! I will definitely make you regret it!"

"Snapped!"

But what responded to her was another loud slap.

"I've said before, I hate it most when people point their fingers at me." Gu Jinhe frowned and spoke lightly.

She was slapped on both sides of her face, and she could even smell the taste of rust in her mouth. Wu Shuran stood there with her eyes wide open, stunned for a moment.

At this time, the girls standing outside the pavilion also reacted. They stepped forward, pushed Shuhua and Shumo away, and pulled Wu Shuran out of the pavilion, away from Gu Jinhe.

The round-faced girl looked at the slap marks on Wu Shuran's face. It was obvious that the slap was done with great force, and her whole face turned red.

She looked at him in disbelief, and never expected that when she turned around to buy a glass of water, Wu Shuran was slapped twice.

She turned to look at Gu Jinhe, her face showing obvious anger. She shouted, "Ms. Gu, won't you explain? Why did you hit Shu Ran?"

Gu Jinhe tilted his head slightly to look at her. The round-faced girl was pretty and charming. Even though she looked angry now, her brows and eyes showed the carefreeness of having been spoiled since childhood and being ignorant of the world. It was hard to imagine that a year later, she would be wrapped in a straw mat and eaten by wild beasts.

Gu Jinhe's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile on her lips. She said calmly, "Some people are like cherries. If you can eat them, eat them. If you can't eat them, throw them away. Don't expect yourself to be a flower that is carefully taken care of by others."

Flowers also wither, they are gorgeous for a moment but end up with dead branches and rotten leaves.

The round-faced girl glanced at the plate of cherries on the table and the cherry in front of Gu Jinhe's seat, and didn't understand what she meant.

But she knew that she didn't get the answer she wanted, so she stood in front of Gu Jinhe.

She insisted, "I know you are the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and Madam Gu thinks highly of you. You have the capital to walk sideways in the capital, but this is not a reason for you to hit someone for no reason. If you don't give an explanation today, no one can leave."

Shuhua and Shumo wanted to stop her, but were stopped by Gu Jinhe. She looked at the round-faced girl and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

The round-faced girl frowned: "I am not afraid to tell you, my name is Wang Meng, even if you are a lady from a noble family, you cannot hit someone in public. You must give an explanation today, otherwise the Wu family will definitely investigate this matter to the end."

Wang Meng's words were also indirectly telling Gu Jinhe that if she didn't give an explanation, the Wu family would definitely intervene in this matter.

After all, everyone knows how much Wu Qian'an dotes on his sister. If he knew that Wu Shuran was beaten, he would definitely not let it go.

Gu Jinhe didn't know whether Wang Meng was being loyal or just couldn't stand this matter, but no matter what, she was indeed courageous. The girls behind her were all timid and didn't dare to step forward.

Only Wang Meng dared to stop her, and even though he knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, he still said her name without hesitation when asked.

Gu Jinhe looked at her and suddenly thought of Shuhua. Late that night on Dahu Mountain, she had bravely and fearlessly stood in front of Han Sheng and prevented him from taking the four kidnappers away.

Just to protect her secret from being spread.

And now Wang Meng stood in front of her just to ask Wu Shuran for an explanation.

Both were equally brave and reckless.

The indifference between Gu Jinhe's brows faded a little. She looked at Wang Meng and said, "Were you present at the banquet that day?"

Although Wang Meng didn't understand why Gu Jinhe asked these questions, she was well-educated. Although she was angry, she did not deliberately avoid answering.

She said, "I'm here."

"Then you should have seen me being brought out of the garage by Fu Huaiyuan, right?"

Wang Mengxin said of course she saw it and was very shocked.

For many years, Fu Huaiyuan has never been interested in women and never got close to other women. Even a polite handshake would be just a light touch and then separated immediately.

People say he is heartless, but he is very respectful and polite to women. People say he is affectionate, but I have never seen him treat any woman differently.

Even Wu Shuran, who had followed Fu Huaiyuan for many years, had never received this honor.

But that night she saw Fu Huaiyuan announce in front of everyone that Gu Jinhe was his fiancée.

I also saw the fierceness and threat in his eyes.

Later, after watching media interviews with him and hearing his narration, I realized that he had been like this for so many years just because he was waiting for someone to come back.

And this person was none other than Gu Jinhe.

For a moment, Wang Meng felt jealous. If that person was Wu Shuran, she might not feel so bad because everyone knew Wu Shuran's feelings for Fu Huaiyuan.

However, Fu Huaiyuan never treated Wu Shuran in a harsh manner. Even though he sometimes had to take care of her because of the elders in his family, it was limited to the interactions between old friends.

Perhaps it is because of this that Wang Meng has never had any emotions towards Wu Shuran.

But Gu Jinhe was different. Her appearance attracted all of Fu Huaiyuan's attention, and he even fought with others in public for her.

That night, he talked about their relationship in front of everyone.

This made Wang Meng feel very uncomfortable for a while.

Later, she asked someone to investigate Gu Jinhe and find out what had happened to her during the six months she had been at Gu's house.

They also knew that she had the title of the eldest daughter of the Gu family, but she was also experiencing things that they would never experience.

For example, assassinations involving guns and knives have never happened before.

Gu Jinhe is a strange person. She should be someone people are very jealous of, but after knowing some things about her, people can't be jealous of her anymore.

For example, what happened at the Penglai Art Exhibition and Baosheng Auction House were all controlled by her, but the profits went to others, while the troubles came to her.

Wang Meng also found out that Gu Jinhe had been assassinated because of this incident. He was a very admirable person as he could make such a choice for the sake of others.

So when she saw Gu Jinhe beating Wu Shuran, she couldn't understand it.

Because in her heart, Gu Jinhe is not such a person.
