A dark light flashed in Fu Huaiyuan's eyes behind his glasses. He looked at Gu Jinhe who was walking towards him step by step, and said in a low voice: "Did Wu Shuran come to see you?"

Gu Jinhe sat down opposite him and looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows: "Are you here to support her?"

Fu Huaiyuan frowned: "What did she do?"

Gu Jinhe frowned and said calmly: "I didn't do anything, I just said a few words. She came to me specially because of you and asked me to stay away from you."

Fu Huaiyuan's expression froze slightly, and he looked at Gu Jinhe: "Did you promise her?"

"I told her to get out." Gu Jinhe said with a curved lip.

Fu Huaiyuan's expression relaxed imperceptibly. At this time, Shuhua handed over a cup of tea. The tea fragrance was light in the smoke, and there was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms. He paused and explained: "Wu Shuran was spoiled by Wu Qian'an since she was a child. Her temper is too extreme. If you meet her outside in the future, you'd better not get close to her alone."

Gu Jinhe looked at Fu Huaiyuan steadily, not knowing what he meant by these words.

Is he telling her not to bother with Wu Shuran, or does he think she is easy to bully and anyone can climb over her head?

It seems that Fu Huaiyuan has some understanding of Wu Shuran's personality. Does Fu Huaiyuan know about what Wu Shuran did to her in her previous life?

She knew it but kept silent and watched her being targeted by Wu Shuran?

But judging from Fu Huaiyuan's current expression, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would stand idly by and watch Wu Shuran like this.

Now he comes to remind her to be careful of Wu Shuran, but why didn’t he remind her in his previous life?

Seeing that Gu Jinhe just looked at him without any reaction, Fu Huaiyuan said again: "If Wu Shuran causes trouble for you in the future, tell me."

Gu Jinhe looked at him and asked, "What will you do after I tell you this?" Go find Wu Shuran for her?

Wouldn't that be even more irritating to that crazy Wu Shuran?

Fu Huaiyuan said in a deep voice: "Go to the Wu family and ask them to discipline Wu Shuran."

Without the help of the Wu family, Wu Shuran would not be able to do anything she wanted to do.

Gu Jinhe curled his lips: "Don't forget, Wu Shuran's brother is the heir of the Wu family. Who in the capital doesn't know how much he loves Wu Shuran?"

Fu Huaiyuan: "I will let Wu Qianan know whether his sister is more important or his family is more important."

In families like theirs, most of the children are married out of wedlock, and there is almost no possibility of free love. The interests of the family are always put first.

Gu Jinhe picked up the teacup on the table and toasted to Fu Huaiyuan: "Then wait for good news."

If Fu Huaiyuan could resolve this matter, as long as Wu Shuran could be quiet for a while, Gu Jinhe would be able to free up time to implement her plan.

As for Wu Shuran, sooner or later she will pay the price for what she has done.

After Fu Huaiyuan left, Gu Jinhe stood up and said to Shuhua, "I'll go downstairs and take a look around."

Shuhua stood up quickly: "But Miss, your injury has not healed yet. The doctor said that you should rest well and not walk too much, as it is not good for the wound to heal."

Gu Jinhe smiled and said, "There are elevators all the way up and down here. I'll just go down and take a look at the ginkgo tree in the backyard. It won't be in the way."

Seeing that he could not persuade her, Shuhua went to the closet in the house and took out a thick coat and put it on Gu Jinhe: "Although there is still sunshine outside, the wind is still cold. Miss, please wear more clothes and don't get cold."

Gu Jinhe pinched the corner of his clothes and turned to walk towards the door: "If Xu Cheng comes back, let me know."

"Yes, Miss."

Gu Jinhe stood under the ginkgo tree. The ground was covered with several layers of yellow and green leaves. At first glance, it looked like he was standing on a golden carpet, soft, clean and bright.

Gu Jinhe looked up at the not-so-high treetop. There were still a few leaves sparsely on the branches. A rain a few days ago had knocked down all the leaves of the ginkgo tree.

In a trance, Gu Jinhe seemed to be standing on the old streets of Jiangcheng, looking up at the cool and fragrant golden osmanthus.

It has been nearly three months since I left Jiangcheng, and the osmanthus flowers on both sides of the streets have long since withered.

Gu Jinhe looked down at the fallen ginkgo leaves on the ground. The fan-shaped leaves were golden yellow, with only the roots of the leaves having some emerald green.

She squatted down, picked up a leaf and held it in her hand, looking at the delicate lines on the leaf, which seemed like the veins of the human body. Only the beating of the heart can drive the vitality of the body.

That touch of green seems to be the comfort of the soul. As long as you are alive, there will be hope and you can do what you want.

At this moment, there was an unfathomable depth in Gu Jinhe's aura.

Fu Huaiyuan stood behind a tree, looking at Gu Jinhe with frowned brows. Between her brows, he could not see the lively and dazzling look he had just seen in the living room, but rather the melancholy of many things.

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves in Gu Jinhe's hands were blown to the ground. She looked at the leaves falling again. Ups and downs in life are normal. In autumn and winter, trees will remove nutrients from their leaves, and use these nutrients to survive the cold winter, and they will sprout again in the spring of next year.

Just like people, when faced with a threat to their lives, they will sacrifice the enemy to protect themselves.

Gu Jinhe gathered her thoughts and stood up. Looking at the tree trunk that she could hold with both hands, she reached out and patted it gently, muttering in a low voice: "Let's work hard together and grow together..."

Let's spend this winter together.

After a while Shuhua came to find her. It was Xu Cheng who returned.

In the ward's living room, Xu Cheng handed the information in his hand to Gu Jinhe: "These are the people that the eldest lady asked me to investigate. Some of them are not in the capital, some are poor and destitute, and one is still in prison."

Gu Jinhe looked at the information and asked, "The one in prison, when will he be released?"

"next month."

Gu Jinhe said: "When the time comes, send someone to pick him up and bring him to see me."

Xu Cheng lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Gu Jinhe looked up at him and said, "I'm sorry for the old lady punishing you last time."

Xu Cheng: "Miss, you don't have to apologize to me. I am willing to be punished. It is my fault that I failed to protect you."

Gu Jinhe: "It happened suddenly, no one expected it to happen, but fortunately we are all still alive, this is the best outcome."

"By the way, how is Xiaoheng?" Gu Jinhe suddenly thought of Xie Hengzhi. She has been in the hospital all this time. The old lady doesn't allow her to go out or let anyone disturb her, so she hasn't seen Xie Hengzhi yet.

Xu Cheng said: "My cousin has recovered, he just got a little frightened and is currently recuperating at the Xie family."

Gu Jinhe asked: "Do you know why he fell into the lotus pond?"

Xu Cheng: "After the cousin woke up, the Xie family asked him about it. The cousin said he didn't know, but he felt like he was pushed down."

Was he pushed into the lotus pond?

Gu Jinhe frowned. Why had he never heard of it in his previous life?

Could it be that because Xie Hengzhi fell into the lotus pond in his previous life and was not rescued, no one knew that he was pushed into the lotus pond?
