Chapter 35: Cornered
es, lending a touch of eeriness to the landscape. It felt as if it were mourning the passing of a young life.Wen Man's face was covered in tears, and she seemed to have lost her soul.Have you really g...Wen Man froze.
Auntie Ruan, pale-faced, said again: "Your father committed suicide inside! People are now rescuing him, but the situation is very bad! Wen Man, Auntie begs you to think of a way to let me see him! He has always been in poor health, and this blow was too great!"
Aunt Ruan covered her face and cried out in pain.
Wen Man's heart was in turmoil. She refused to believe that her father, a towering figure of strength, would take his own life. He had seemed perfectly fine the day she last saw him! She immediately called Jiang Ming, pleading with him to go through the proper channels so they could see Wen Boyer.
Jiang Ming also received the message and was about to discuss it with Wen Man. He invited Wen Man to the firm to talk.
Wen Man comforted Aunt Ruan, and the two went to the firm without having breakfast.
< Lawyer Jiang's expression was grave. >
He made several phone calls in front of Wen Man and her daughter, finally hung up the phone and shook his head: "The person is fine but can't be bailed out, still has to receive medical treatment inside."
Because of Ginger Rui, Ginger Ming tactfully said a few more words: "Wen Man, your father's case involves the Gu Corporation, you... try to find Mr. Gu and see if there is any room for maneuver"
Mr. Gu...Gu Changqing!
Wen Man painfully closed her eyes. She should have guessed it was Gu Changqing's doing! He had done so many wicked things, all just to force her back to him.
But how could she go back
If she, Wen Man Ru, were to become someone else's mistress, her father would be so angry he'd spit blood! But she refuses to give in. What will her father do What about Aunt Ruan Will they really have their family destroyed
Wen Man sat woodenly.
Lawyer Jiang looked at her with some pity. He handed Wen Man a cup of warm water and said softly, "Why don't you talk to Shaoting again I heard from Jiang Rui that you two have been getting closer recently."
Wen Man's heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle.
That pain, dense and pervasive…
Lawyer Jiang is someone who has been through it all, he continued in a gentle tone: "Shaoting isn't as heartless as people think. The other day, he even came to me and..."
He suddenly remembered Huo Shaoting's instructions and didn't say it.
What if Shao Ting changes his mind Wouldn't that disappoint the young lady again
Wen Man listened to his advice, she nodded.
As she was leaving, she held her phone, hesitating whether to call Huo Shaoting. But she had just rejected him last night. Would he still be willing to answer her call if she asked him now
Wen Man was unsure.
But for her father's sake, she still mustered the courage to call.... The phone went unanswered. Huo Shaoting had switched it off.
Wen Man was somewhat desperate; she almost dared not face Aunt Ruan.
Wen Man thought Aunt Ruan had gone to the restroom and looked around, but she couldn't find her.
She began to feel uneasy and called Aunt Ruan's phone: "Answer the phone... Answer the phone..."
The phone rang, but no one answered.
Wen Man suddenly remembered something, she ran quickly towards the elevator and frantically pressed the elevator button... When she stood in the closed elevator, her whole body was trembling.
Aunt Ruan...don't do anything foolish!
Don't...
Wen Man was ultimately a step too late. When she arrived at Gu's CEO office, it was in utter disarray.
Gu Changqing clutched his abdomen against the rosewood desk, blood seeping through his fingers.
The scene was horrifying!
Aunt Ruan clutched a fruit knife tightly in her hand, speaking incessantly as if possessed, but her words were unintelligible!
Wen Man trembled as she called out, "Aunt Ruan!"
Aunt Ruan's gaze was unwavering, her voice a hushed whisper: "I killed Gu Changqing, so he wouldn't harm Bo Yan or you anymore... Wen Man, Auntie told you long ago that he wasn't right for you."
Wen Man's face was full of tears.
She stepped forward and gently hugged Aunt Ruan, choking back tears and saying, "Aunt Ruan, don't be afraid... I'm here!"
Gu Changqing covered his wound, blood constantly dripping down.
The secretary wanted to help him first, but he pushed her away and asked Wen Man word by word: "Can't you see that I'm bleeding Wen Man, do you not care whether I live or die"la where Li Siqi lived. He had come to city B on a whim, simply wanting to see Li Siqi and make sure she was doing well. If he could even catch a glimpse of her… he’d give her another New Year's red e...
