The call went through, but no one picked up.
Chen Yan 'er thought for a moment and dialed Pei Ying's number.
In Xiaoya's villa.
Pei Ying stood outside the bedroom on the second floor and looked at the person sitting by the bed with a hunched back. He walked to the balcony with his phone ringing.
"Young Madam, you're awake?"
Chen Yan 'er's worried voice came from the other end of the phone."Yes, Pei Ying, is Gu Jinhan by your side? I called him, but he didn't pick up."
"Young Master Han is with Old Madam, so it's not convenient for him to answer the phone now.”
"Oh, is he okay?"
Pei Ying paused for a moment. What should I do?
After returning from the Gu Manor in the morning, Young Master Han ordered Young Master Yi to hire a group of hired guards. After that, they stayed in the old madam's room for four to five hours without moving.
"Pei Ying?" Chen Yan 'er's heart was in her throat when she didn't hear Pei Ying speak for a long time.
"Young Madam, you don't have to worry. I will take good care of Young Master Han.”
"Will he come back today?" Chen Yan 'er asked.
"I don't know. It depends on the old madam's situation.”
"Is Auntie awake?"
"Not yet."
Chen Yan 'er hesitated for a moment before asking weakly,"Then can I go to Little Ya Qing Yuan to accompany him?”
He definitely needed someone to accompany him now.
"I can't make the decision." Pei Ying replied. After all, Xiao Ya Qing Yuan was a forbidden place in Gu Jinhan's heart.
As long as it involved the old madam, he could not make his own decisions.
"Alright then." Chen Yan 'er's disappointed voice came from the other end of the phone.
She told Pei Ying to take good care of Gu Jinhan and to call her if anything happened before hanging up.
Pei Ying walked back and saw Aunt Julia standing at the bedroom door worriedly. When she saw him, she quickly walked over.
"Mr. Pei, the doctor said that Old Madam wouldn't wake up so soon. Let Young Master Han eat something. I'll go watch over Old Madam. He hasn't had a drop of water since this morning.”
"Aunt Julia, don't you understand Young Master Han? Every time, he would wait until the old madam woke up before coming out.”
Aunt Julia looked at Gu Jinhan's back and her face was full of regret." Sigh, it's all my fault. To think that I've worked here for so many years, yet such a mistake actually happened. I've let Young Master Han down…"
"Aunt Julia." Pei Ying patted her shoulder and said," Be more careful in the future. The servants here must be clean and loyal. You must also take what Young Master Han said last night to heart. What happened last night must not happen again.”
"Yes, Mr. Pei, I understand, I understand.”Aunt Julia wiped her tears and said," The doctor said that the old madam will wake up at night at the latest. I'll get someone to prepare some food so that Young Master Han can enjoy it when the time comes.”
Pei Ying nodded and gestured for her to go.
……
Chen Yan 'er sat in the living room all afternoon, waiting for Gu Jinhan to come back.
She still remembered the first time she met Gu Jinhan. When she was five years old, her mother had just passed away. Ye Hongsheng took her to a banquet.
She hid in the garden and cried. That was how she met the ten-year-old Gu Jinhan.
He gave her a candy and told her that if we shed tears for the people we love, then the hearts of the people we love will bleed.
She didn't understand what it meant, but she still stopped crying.
She told him,"Big Brother, my mother went to a very, very far place."
He also told him that his mother had gone to a very, very far place and would not be able to come back…
Later on, Chen Yan 'er gradually became more sensible. She understood that if a person did not come back, they would be dead.
So she had always thought that Gu Jinhan's mother had passed away.
Most importantly, the outside world was also man-made. Gu Jinhan's mother died when he was seven years old, and then Gu Qihe married Bai Fenghua.
Chen Yan 'er suddenly thought of Gu Tianling. He was only three years younger than Gu Jinhan, so Gu Tianling was already four years old when Gu Qihe married Bai Fenghua.
A person like Gu Qihe would never help someone else raise a son. Therefore, Gu Tianling was definitely his bell. In that case, didn't that mean that Gu Qihe had cheated on his wife and had an illegitimate child?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan 'er thought about how Gu Jinhan's mother looked last night. She guessed that perhaps she couldn't stand her husband cheating on her, so she had a mental problem. Then, Gu Qihe divorced her and made the mistress his mistress.
But why did Gu Jinhan tell her that his mother would not come back…
Did he mean that his healthy mother wouldn't come back?
The more Chen Yan 'er thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She did not expect her and Gu Jinhan's experiences to be so similar.
Both of them had a scumbag father who cheated on them during their marriage.
However, people like Gu Qihe were different from Ye Hongsheng. The Gu family had been prosperous for several generations. When Gu Qihe was young, he was not as strong as Gu Jinhan now. If he did not love Gu Jinhan's mother, why did he marry her?
Chen Yan 'er suddenly smiled bitterly. Didn't Gu Jinhan marry her without loving her?
At the thought of this, Chen Yan 'er felt as if someone had ripped a hole in her heart. It hurt so much that she could not breathe.
The afternoon passed just like that.
Chen Yan 'er had something on her mind and did not have much of an appetite. After Uncle Liang and Xiao Lan persuaded her to eat dinner, she casually ate a few mouthfuls and returned to her room.
Gu Jinhan was still not back by 10 pm.
Chen Yan 'er was hesitating whether she should call Pei Ying to ask about the situation when her phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was Gu Jinhan. She was surprised and happy.
Who knew that before she could press the answer button, the call was hung up.
Chen Yan 'er was confused and immediately called him back.
" I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is busy..." A mechanical female voice came from the phone.
Chen Yan 'er was so anxious that she thought he was calling her as well. She hung up the phone and waited for his call.
After waiting for five to six minutes, he still did not call, so she called him again.
This time, the call went through…but Gu Jinhan didn't pick up.
Chen Yan 'er's heart felt like it was on a rollercoaster ride. She was worried that something might have happened, so she called Pei Ying again.
As soon as the call connected, Chen Yan 'er asked anxiously without waiting for Pei Ying to speak,"Pei Ying, did something happen? Gu Jinhan called me just now, but he hung up. I called him, but he didn't pick up.”
On the other end of the phone, Pei Ying was obviously stunned for a moment before saying,"Maybe it's the wrong number. Young Master Han just called Young Master Yi and Young Master Nan Feng.”
Chen Yan 'er suppressed the disappointment in her heart and asked," Why did you call them?”
"... Let's drink."
Chen Yan 'er was speechless.
Pei Ying did not hear Chen Yan 'er's voice. He paused for a moment and said," Young Madam, you don't have to worry. Old Madam has already woken up. Young Master Han…is just in a bad mood. He'll be fine after letting him vent…"
Before Pei Ying could finish, Chen Yan 'er interrupted him," Where are you? I'll be right there!"
