Novel Full Chapter 6 - Cut the Knot
Chapter Six: Cut the Knot
In trance, the man in front of Gu Yan turns into Wen Yunfeng, who wipes her tears sympathetically in her memory.
“Aw…”
Gu Yan cries loudly all of a sudden, and she hugs “Wen Yunfeng” tightly in excitement. All her sadness is turned into the grievance. Just like a child being bullied in the outside finally comes back home, requiring no patience or depression, all the grievances burst out in an instant.
“I know you still love me. You want me. I know it. They treat me unjustly and bully me…” Gu Yan is crying to hiccups. Her shed streams of tears and mucus smear Mo Yichen’s shoulder.
Mo Yichen frowns and raises his hand. Instead of tearing Gu Yan from her body, he just pats her back and comforts her: “All right. Don’t be afraid.”
Is he infected by the woman’s emotion? His heart seems to suffer a slight pain as well, which is unable to be ignored.
Gu Yan doesn’t quiet down until the second half of the night. After covering the quilt for her, Mo Yichen pinches his eyebrows and goes into the next room. He doesn’t go to bed, but sits on the sofa staring at his left hand.
No other meaning, but…the hand was close to a heart just now…
The intimate assistant next to him: Wu Gang is rather helpless. Boss keeps on staring at his hand like this for a long time. What’s wrong with his hand? Shall I call a doctor?
Just when Wu Gang is imagining crankily, Mo Yichen asks suddenly: “Wu Gang, tell me how to abandon love?”
“Ah?” Wu Gang is stunned. It is incredible that his boss who finds someone for surrogacy would ask such a problem today.
As to the problem unable to be solved by himself for one night, Mo Yichen absolutely doesn’t expect him to answer. He commands: “Investigate the business condition of Wen family…and the emotion between the president and his wife.”
“Ah?” Wu Gang is more surprised than before. His widely opened eyes are full of astonishment.
Mo Yichen’s sight skips over him, ordering: “Go.”
Looking up at the pitch dark world outside, Wu Gang resigns himself to destination and walks out, keeping on comforting himself: my boss doesn’t take a fancy to another man’s wife, he does this probably for a business plan.
Yes, a business plan.
…
“Hello…” Gu Yan’s voice is weak. She is woken up by the phone bell. Her eyes are still not opened and the hangover headache makes her a lump of paste in the brain.
“Mrs. Gu, your grandma: Wu Xiufang fell in a faint at the door entrance today, and she has been sent to the hospital by her neighbor…”
“What?”
All her sleepy feeling is expelled by the news. She puts on the clothes and asks: “How is the condition now? Is it serious? I will come soon…”
After hanging up, Gu Yan starts to realize that she is in a strange place. The memory comes back and she stands on the spot with an ashamed expression. She hugged a strange man, cried and created disturbances for one night. Moreover, she …she lets the man touch her breast!!!
The ringing belt in Gu Yan’s heart is alarmed: “Leave now. I must leave now.”
If I don’t leave immediately, it will be awkward if the man comes back again.
When she is collecting her belongings, Gu Yan finds a piece of paper on the night table. It shows: cut the knot.
Gu Yan is surprised. She takes up the paper and presents a bitter smile. However, her sight becomes rather solid.
After dealing with the grandma’s illness, her love with Wen Yunfeng should be settled…
She asks: How to abandon love?
He answers: Cut the knot.
…
After reaching the hotel, Gu Yan finds that her younger cousin: Liu Lanfei has been there. Seeing her coming, the doctor says: “Miss Gu, your sister and neighbor sent Mrs. Wu to the hospital. The patient’s condition is very stable. Please don’t worry about her. But you have to pay for medical expenses. The little girl has just paid two thousand dollars, but it still needs eight thousand.”
Liu Lanfei’s appearance is similar to Gu Yan. No wonder the doctor believes that they are full sisters. Gu Yan smiles and expresses the gratitude to the doctor, and then looks toward Liu Lanfei. On seeing Liu Lanfei smiles to her bashfully, she can’ t help approaching and pulling her hand: “Thanks, Lanfei.”
“Cousin, please do not mention it. I feel embarrassed about it.” Liu Lanfei replies with a red face.
Gu Yan pats her shoulder with a smile, saying: “Ah, don’t be so shy. I will invite you to have a big dinner.”
“No, thanks.” Liu Lanfei waves her hand and says shyly: “Cousin, you are the young mistress of Wen family. Can’t you find an internship for me in Wen Company? I have been a junior student, but I haven’t found an internship opportunity until now.”
“Internship…” Gu Yan feels rather awkward in her heart. All relatives know she is the young mistress of Wen family, but they indeed do not know that she fundamentally has no standing in the company. As a matter of fact, she is similar to an ordinary staff. She is unable to arrange a position freely.
“Is it difficult? Forget it. I can help myself.” Liu Lanfei further lowers her head and looks very depressed.
On seeing her helplessness, Gu Yan bites her teeth: “Don’t worry. I will manage it. You will get the news this week.”
“Really? Thanks!” Liu Lanfei pulls Gu Yan’s arm and shows a pleasant expression. Her smiling almond eyes have a flash of complacent glow.
These days, Gu Yan hurries between the hospital and the company. To accumulate more medical expenses for the grandma, she still finds a temporary work in the evening, so she is as busy as a spinning top.
In addition to this, she still takes time to help the manager of the Human Resource Department even though she is tired to death every day. She can’t do any other thing. This is her only choice to recruit Liu Lanfei as an internship.
It is out of her expectation that it works. Liu Lanfei is recruited into Wen company as an internship successfully one week later. Gu Yan at last finalizes one affair.
Gradually, her grandma’s physical condition becomes more stable. Gu Yan knows it is the time to talk with Wen Yunfeng. Now that they are bound to be strangers, it is better to disconnect more thoroughly. There should be no barriers.
She goes to Wen house once again, the old steward opens the door.
Gu Yan shows a kind smile, and she asks: “Grandpa steward, is Yunfeng at home? I come to see him today.”
“The childe…Alas!” The old steward sighs and says: “Young mistress, you are still young. Please care more about yourself. As to others…do not take them seriously.”
Gu Yan feels a little inexplicable on seeing the strange expression of the old steward. She is about to ask the reason, but the old lady rushes out. She points at Gu Yan and blames her in a loud voice: “Why does this bitch come to my house once again? Do you feel shameless? You are not welcome.”
The old steward persuades: “Old lady, the young mistress seldom comes back. Please do not always blame her like this.”
“Do not blame?” The old lady screams just as being stepped of the tail, “This is my house. Why couldn’t I blame her? Why doesn’t the little bitch scourge the wild men outside? Why does she fix her attention on my Feng?”
