After returning from the court, Jin Mingzhu lay in the Sheng residence in a daze for a few days. She didn't eat much and just remained silent. She had lost a lot of weight.

"Ms. Jin, can I bring the porridge to your room?" the maid asked, tucking the corner of the quilt.

Jin Mingzhu just waved her hands weakly, signaling the maid to go out.

The curtains on the balcony were not drawn tightly, and some light leaked in diagonally, reflecting on Jin Mingzhu's thin hands, which was very warm. She greedily wanted to absorb more.

The phone rang and she picked up.

"Mingzhu, I have something I want to discuss with you." It was Lin Lang.

"Okay, senior brother." Jin Mingzhu's voice was very weak.

It’s enough to be sad for a few days, Jin Mingzhu thought; the problem will not be solved easily, you have to face it.

She got up from the bed, took a shower, changed her clothes, and put on makeup to look more energetic.

Jin Mingzhu came down the stairs and saw a lively atmosphere downstairs. Sheng Yichen had invited his friends to a party at his home. She looked up and saw Gu Huaijin.

Gu Huaijin looked at her with some concern. She laughed at herself and said that she was confused because of the fever. How could a cold-blooded person like him care about others?

"Sister Xianxian, how do you feel today?" Sheng Yichen was a little surprised to see her coming down.

"I'll ask them to prepare some food for you, please eat some."

Jin Mingzhu refused: "No, I don't want to eat."

"Yichen, give me the car keys. I'm going out for a while."

"Where are you going? I'll ask the driver to take you." Sheng Yichen asked with concern.

"No, I'll take care of some things. I can do it."

Seeing that she insisted, Sheng Yichen handed her the keys and told her, "Drive carefully."

Jin Mingzhu took the car keys and went down to the underground garage.

"Yi Chen, what's going on?" Lin Shaoyu asked after Jin Mingzhu's figure disappeared.

"She became like this the day she came back from the court. This incident was such a huge blow to her. She didn't speak and didn't want to eat. She just cried all day long." Sheng Yichen's tone was full of worry.

"You've seen how hard Jin Mingzhu beat me before! But now she looks listless and doesn't seem angry at all." Sheng Yichen shook his head and sighed.

"What's going on with the Wynn Group?" Lin Shaoyu asked.

"Zhao Ming caused such a big disaster, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to have a good ending..." someone else sighed.

"It's strange. Brother Minghao was planning to take action to clean up the Wynn Group, but the Wynn Group disappeared inexplicably. Could it be that Zhao Ming has offended other people?" Sheng Yichen asked in confusion as he thought about it.

Gu Huaijin put the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and motioned Chen Chuan to come over.

His voice was very low, "Send someone to follow her."

Seeing this, Lin Shaoyu just smiled and said nothing more.

In the cafe, Lin Lang handed all the information to Jin Mingzhu. Seeing that she was in such a bad state, he comforted her:

"Mingzhu, you have tried your best, and this is the best result we can achieve now. Don't dwell on your sadness anymore."

He paused for a moment and then continued.

"Xu Yang doesn't want to see you like this either."

Jin Mingzhu almost cried when she mentioned Xu Yang. She held back her tears and forced a smile at Lin Lang.

"I will, brother."

Jin Mingzhu handed over a bank card.

"Brother, this is some of my savings. In addition to the compensation and lawyer fees, there is still some money. I would like to ask you to transfer it to Xu Yang every month as living expenses."

"He doesn't want to see me. If I give it to him, he won't accept it." Then she smiled bitterly.

Lin Lang accepted the bank card, and Jin Mingzhu asked again.

"Brother, please take care of Xu Yang."

Lin Lang is Xu Yang's good brother. He watched them all the way to their wedding. He was waiting to drink their wedding wine, but he didn't expect it to end with such a sad ending. He sighed and just told Jin Mingzhu to rest assured.

After meeting Lin Lang, Jin Mingzhu returned to her and Xu Yang's home.

She seemed to see Xu Yang cooking in the kitchen, and he came out to let her wash her hands and eat.

Xu Yang was arranging the flowers and plants on the balcony and cut the most beautiful rose to give to her.

She sat on the sofa, leaning on Xu Yang's shoulder, watching the sunset slowly set over the mountain.

……

Now, there is only an empty room, without Xu Yang.

The bitterness and pain in Jin Mingzhu's heart grew deeper and she collapsed on the sofa, crying bitterly.

The bar was as noisy as usual, the singer was singing slightly sad folk songs, and the store was packed with men and women seeking excitement.

Jin Mingzhu sat in the corner, pouring glass after glass of wine in front of him.

She held the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The iced wine was icy cold at first but soon warmed up her whole body. After just a few glasses, her eyes became a little dazed. She saw Xu Yang sitting opposite her, looking at her tenderly.

"Xu Yang, you're here."

She said this happily, but when she looked closely, Xu Yang was gone.

She poured another glass and drank it, wanting to keep Xu Yang longer.

After repeating this several times, a blush crept up her face, and her movements of holding the wine glass became slower and slower. The world around her was spinning...

She leaned on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, tears quietly sliding down her sides.

Gu Huaijin postponed the meeting and rushed over, seeing Chen Chuan waiting at the door.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Jin is inside."

"Is she drunk?" Gu Huaijin asked.

"I'm drunk. Shadow just stopped a few people with bad intentions." Chen Chuan reported.

Gu Huaijin walked into the noisy bar and saw Jin Mingzhu, drunk, lying there crying and laughing, with empty wine bottles all around her. He frowned.

"I'll take you back." Gu Huaijin stepped forward and tried to pick up Jin Mingzhu.

Jin Mingzhu put her hand on his chest and struggled, "I won't go back. I want to drink more."

"Be good!" Gu Huaijin used some strength to hold her in his arms and lifted her legs.

Jin Mingzhu kicked around and her high heels fell off.

After carrying her to the door, Jin Mingzhu raised her head and bit Gu Huaijin's shoulder hard. Gu Huaijin put her down in pain. Jin Mingzhu pushed him away and rushed into the flowers barefoot to vomit.

Jin Mingzhu didn't eat anything in the afternoon and drank so much alcohol that her stomach felt churning.

Gu Huaijin walked quickly forward and patted her back gently.

Seeing her so uncomfortable, Gu Huaijin became a little more worried.

"Is it better?"

After vomiting, Jin Mingzhu collapsed on the ground and continued crying.

Gu Huaijin coaxed helplessly: "Let's go back first, everyone is looking at us, Jin Mingzhu, it's embarrassing."

Seeing that she refused to move, he threatened again: "If you don't leave, I will leave you here!"

"I want to go, not stay here..." Jin Mingzhu supported herself and stood up crookedly.

"Trouble!" Gu Huaijin's eyes darkened and he went forward to hug her.

Jin Mingzhu's body was supported and she fell into his arms with peace of mind.

He made another request: "I want to be carried on your back. I feel uncomfortable if you hold me."

Gu Huaijin chuckled. Miss Jin was acting like a spoiled brat. He took off his coat and gave it to her. He helped her stand and then squatted in front of her.

"Come up."

Jin Mingzhu put her arm around his back and put her arm around his shoulder.

Gu Huaijin carried her steadily on his back and walked towards the car.

Chen Chuan couldn't bear to watch it, so he lowered his head, picked up Jin Mingzhu's shoes and quickly followed.
