Bowing her head and looking at her own hands, after encountering these two individuals, Wang Jinhe finally understood why Gu Jiuning and the others didn’t appreciate them.
Seeing Wang Jinhe’s silent demeanor, Su Yu’s eyes were filled with concern.
He worried that Wang Jinhe, seeing the interaction between Gu Sheng and the two, would feel uneasy.
Even though they had given up on this couple, could there still be some expectations in Xiao He’s heart?
Yu Qingfeng, witnessing Wang Jinhe’s silent state, expressed concern, “Xiao He, are you okay?”
Wang Jinhe paused, smiling and shaking her head, “Dad, I’m fine. I knew the outcome a long time ago.”
Her words, however, only heightened the worry of those at home. Gu Jiuning looked at Su Yu, signaling him to take care of Wang Jinhe. Su Yu nodded subtly.
After staying at home for a while, Su Yu left with Wang Jinhe.
Back in their own home, Su Yu led Wang Jinhe to sit on the rocking chairs in the courtyard. “Xiao He, are you really okay?”
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu in confusion, saying with a wry smile, “Why do you all think I would be not okay? Am I not fine now?”
Su Yu remained silent, just staring at Wang Jinhe without uttering a word.
Seeing Su Yu like this, Wang Jinhe realized the misunderstanding, “Su Yu, I’m telling the truth. I knew about their attitude when I found out they wanted to harm me. How could I be sad because of them?”
Her low spirits were not because of the couple but due to other matters.
“Why is that, then?”
“I’m really wondering how Gu Xiruo plans to wrap things up after spinning such a colossal lie,” Wang Jinhe mused. If it were last year when she had just arrived here and didn’t know Su Yu, Gu Xiruo might have succeeded.
But now, she wasn’t the same Wang Jinhe as before. Even without relying on Su Yu, it would be challenging for Gu Xiruo to deal with her.
“It’s none of our business,” Su Yu said with a furrowed brow, not wanting to get too involved with these people.
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu and found him intriguing for the first time.
“Has Wan Feng’s group received the information? Who contacted that master?” Wang Jinhe was eager to know who else, besides Gu Xiruo, wanted her dead.
“Just take a guess, and you’ll know who it is,” Su Yu replied evasively.
Wang Jinhe fell silent. Although she suspected it might be Xie Yang, she had thought it unlikely for someone to be so extreme. Now it seemed she had overthought it.
Su Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “What? You didn’t think it could be her?”
Wang Jinhe nodded with a serious expression.
She had indeed considered it: “It’s clearly your problem. Why wouldn’t she trouble you and instead come after me?”
It was just too absurd.
Su Yu cleared his throat. How was he supposed to know the answer to that question?
“Maybe she thinks that as long as you’re out of the picture, I’ll like her?” Su Yu, after careful consideration, gave Wang Jinhe a rather narcissistic answer.
Wang Jinhe rolled her eyes at Su Yu and said, not pleased, “Why are you so narcissistic?”
“Xiao He, what I’m doing is not narcissism; it’s called confidence.”
Wang Jinhe didn’t engage in banter with Su Yu. Instead, she carefully pondered all the details of this matter.
Gu Xiruo really was persistent.
She wanted to make Gu Xiruo’s dreams come true, but doing so seemed a bit too cruel.
“What are you thinking?” Seeing a hint of reluctance on Wang Jinhe’s face, Su Yu was curious about what she was planning.
“She claimed to be sick, right? I want to make her dream come true,” Wang Jinhe said seriously, looking at Su Yu.
“You don’t need to personally intervene in this, Xiao He,” Su Yu chuckled softly.
Wang Jinhe frowned, looking at Su Yu with a slight crease in her brows. “What do you mean by that?”
“It means Gu Xiruo took a medicine that makes her body appear sick. The people who gave her the medicine only know that it makes her cough up blood, faint, and become physically weak. But what they don’t know is that this stuff isn’t something you can casually ingest,” Su Yu sarcastically explained.
Gu Xiruo was too eager to end Wang Jinhe’s life, and her negligence in confirming the effects of the medicine led to her current situation. However, it could only be said that she brought it upon herself.
Looking at Su Yu’s sarcastic expression, Wang Jinhe’s eyes flickered with a hint of innocence. “What other effects does the medicine have?”
“Long-term consumption is poisonous. Given Gu Xiruo’s attitude towards you, it’s not impossible for her to take this medicine multiple times. According to the letter Wan Feng sent earlier, Wan Gu personally confirmed it,” Su Yu said, gazing at Wang Jinhe with a gentle smile.
Now, Xiao He didn’t need to take matters into her own hands or dirty herself to achieve the desired results.
Wang Jinhe never expected that, in order to deal with her, Gu Xiruo would resort to harming herself.
It’s common knowledge that “all medicines are poisonous if taken excessively,” especially such domineering drugs. Gu Xiruo was indeed naive.
Was it worth it to turn herself into a sickly person just to deal with her?
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe and affectionately ruffled her hair, saying, “Xiao He, everyone has different perspectives. Gu Xiruo is too extreme; she places too much importance on power.”
It was precisely because of this that Gu Xiruo feared Wang Jinhe’s return. She worried that if Xiao He went back, she would lose everything she currently possessed. Accustomed to such a luxurious and affluent life, how could she willingly accept such a fate?
Wang Jinhe wanted to ask Su Yu if power was really that important, but in this era, power did indeed carry significant weight. Just like now, it was because of power and status that they could lead a better life.
“Forget about that,” she said. Instead, she needed to figure out how to suppress Gu Xiruo.
“Su Yu, help me investigate Gu Xiruo. I want to know every detail about her, no matter how trivial. I want to be aware of everything related to her,” Wang Jinhe said seriously, looking at Su Yu.
Since Gu Xiruo had already made a move, she needed to respond thoroughly.
“Alright, I’ll have someone look into it and provide you with the information. What do you plan to do?” Su Yu was curious about Wang Jinhe’s intentions with this knowledge.
Wang Jinhe shook her head, “Nothing much, just want to give Gu Xiruo a little gift.”
“You mentioned before that Gu Xiruo also has some business, right? Tell me more about the business you discussed with me,” Wang Jinhe suddenly remembered what Su Yu had mentioned about Gu Xiruo’s business.
Su Yu instantly understood Wang Jinhe’s implication, “Her business involves embroidery and a jewelry shop, both catering to women.”
“She is quite clever,” Wang Jinhe agreed with this aspect of Gu Xiruo.
In this world, the easiest money to earn is women’s money.
“Why do you say that?” Was Xiao He seriously complimenting her adversary?
“Because women’s matters are lucrative. As long as the things she sells in her shop aren’t too shoddy, her business should be doing well,” Wang Jinhe speculated.
It had to be said that Wang Jinhe’s insights in this regard were indeed keen, and her speculation was entirely correct.
