After she finished analyzing, Gu Jiaru secretly clenched her fists and roughly understood Xia Fengnan's plan.
Demonstrate first before you play the game.
In order to hurry him up, she didn't even want to hide anymore. She had truly troubled him.
Thinking about that, Gu Jiaru turned and look at him, her eyes cold.
In the eyes of Han Yunshang, who had his back facing away from his, it was just a normal father and daughter conversation, so Gu Jiaru was not worried that he would mind.
He smiled and said to Han Yunshang, "My daughter, although she is adopted, she has always been treated as her own daughter, and I never thought that there would be any estrangement between us. Now that our daughter has grown up, I respect her choice. "
This voice had a hint of hoarseness to it. If Gu Jiaru didn't know who he was, she probably would have been tricked by him. She thought that Yue Yang would love him dearly. Actually, it was only part of his plan.
Liu Yang's analysis of Xia Fengnan was not wrong, he pretended to be mysterious and never appeared, greeting him with a smile whenever he could, abandoning him when he couldn't, this person was simply unworthy of being a father.
This was something that Gu Jiaru had a deeper understanding of after feeling blessed.
"Jiaru is truly blessed to have such an enlightened father like you." When Han Yunshang said that, he turned to face Xia Fengnan to show his respect, but his eyes were looking at Gu Jiaru, there was a hidden complaint in his calmness.
Gu Jiaru understood that he was blaming herself, and had never brought up this matter. Perhaps today he thought she was talking to a client in the conference room, and she was caught off guard by the sudden introduction.
"No, no. After Jia Ru was with you, she became happier and more cheerful as well." Xia Fengnan also looked towards Gu Jiaru, his doting eyes hiding his threat.
Seeing this, she turned her head away. She did not want to face the two of them directly.
"There are some urgent matters that I need to take care of," Han Yunshang said quickly, he raised his hand and looked at the watch on his left wrist, then turned to Xia Fengnan and said: "Uncle, why don't you go to the resting area first, and we can have a meal together?"
Hearing that, Gu Jiaru felt a bit afraid in her heart, but at the same time, a bit emotional. She really hoped that she and Han Yunshang were just normal relationship, a couple, then in front of Xia Fengnan, she wouldn't need to worry too much. At the same time, she wished to enjoy his respectful manner as her son-in-law.
But even if she was filled with emotions, Gu Jiaru knew that there was nothing she could do.
Fortunately, Xia Fengnan looked at Gu Jiaru and laughed: I'll leave Jia Ru to you, I'm very relieved. "You guys can get busy, don't worry about me, I still have to fly to Hong Kong, it's too late to eat."
"What kind of business is Uncle doing?" "It seems to be very busy." Han Yunshang finally asked his first question out of curiosity.
Gu Jiaru was a little speechless. She wanted to answer quickly but suddenly realized that she did not even know what her foster father did.
Sure enough, Xia Fengnan would not reveal too much of himself, with just a few words of excuse: "Running around for small businesses, barely enough to fill one's stomach, isn't like Director Han who has such a large business to worry about."
After saying this, he said, "You guys go ahead, I should also be going to the airport. If you miss the flight, that would be the wrong tempo."
"Uncle, I'll get someone to drive you." Han Yunshang stretched out his hand politely.
Xia Fengnan raised his hand, and gently smiled as he rejected: "No need."
Then, he turned to Gu Jiaru and said: "Jia Ru, I'll come see you in a while."
"Alright." Gu Jiaru's footsteps were stiff in place, she did not take a step forward, and her reply was also flat. She was a little worried that Han Yunshang would see through her tricks, but she couldn't care less.
She just felt chilled.
Amongst everyone present, only she could hear the threat in Xia Fengnan's words.
The so-called "I've come to see you" was just the second time he was urging them to come.
Gu Jiaru found it hard to imagine the outcome if she still did not make his move, allowing Xia Fengnan to make his move personally.
Not to mention this, even if he only forced Liu Yang to take action, Liu Yang would very likely help him complete the mission with hatred.
What should he do then?
Had she been stuck in a dilemma, unable to find a solution?
Just as Gu Jiaru was distracted, Xia Fengnan had already left. Only Han Yunshang and her were left in the meeting room.
She felt an unprecedented sense of distress, raised her head, and hesitantly looked at Han Yunshang. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know what to say.
"Let's go. Something is about to happen." Han Yunshang acted the same as before, as if what happened just now had never happened. He pulled Gu Jiaru's hand and said anxiously.
"What is it?" Gu Jiaru opened her eyes wide, there was disbelief in her eyes, she did not know what could make Han Yunshang anxious to this extent, but her footsteps kept on following him.
Han Yunshang held onto Gu Jiaru's hand tightly and heaved a sigh of relief: "Hanxiuqing wants to commit suicide."
"What?" Gu Jiaru's voice rose an octave, she was sure that she did not hear wrongly, the person Han Yunshang was talking about, was not Han Xiuqing, who had been abused by others a few days ago, but Hanxiuqing, who was preparing to commit suicide?
She originally wanted to ask something, but after hesitating for a moment, she took a glance at Han Yunshang's serious face and asked, "Is it true or false?"
"I don't know." Han Yunshang answered honestly. He took a look at Gu Jiaru's high heels, then at her staggering steps, and slowed his pace down a bit. He softly said to Gu Jiaru, "It would be better to believe it."
"Mm …" Gu Jiaru replied with hesitation. She didn't know why Han Yunshang wanted to bring her there, nor did she know if it would be more stimulating to Hanxiuqing. At the same time, she didn't know if Hanxiuqing, who was about to commit suicide, would agree immediately if she requested or threatened to commit suicide.
He was putting himself in an extremely awkward position.
Han Yunshang seemed to have completely guessed what Gu Jiaru was thinking. Two seconds before he got on the car, he slowly said, "Don't worry, I won't promise her anything."
"Then …" Gu Jiaru did not hesitate at all. Although she spoke with hesitation, she moved quickly, afraid that her unintentional delay would cause a life to disappear just like that. After all, although Hanxiuqing had said quite a few things about herself, her actions had never hurt her. She did not wish for that woman to die just like that.
"Uncle Li, drive to the hospital." Han Yunshang instructed Uncle Li as he turned around and pinched Gu Jiaru's face. He felt that she was so curious that he was tempted. After a few seconds, he took the initiative to ask, "Are you trying to ask me why I'm still in such a hurry to get over it?"
Gu Jiaru bit the bullet and nodded: "You know, of course I don't want to see her die. "But …"
"Don't think too much." Han Yunshang pulled her into his embrace, and looked straight ahead. Below, he mentioned Han Family, but his tone was cold, "Think about it, if you really forced Han Family into a corner, what would they do? Right now, the matter of business could only cause them great anxiety. Injuring them would not be too big of a problem. "But if someone dies …"
Saying that, Han Yunshang turned to look out the window, and sighed: "Even a dog would jump off a wall if they get anxious."
"I... "Got it." Gu Jiaru lowered her head, feeling guilty for her superficial and childish side.
What Han Yunshang cared about was not Hanxiuqing's life, but rather the deeper level of contradiction he faced in this kind of situation. Let alone Hanxiuqing, even if a servant of the Han Family died, they would probably plot against Han Yunshang.
"I hope it's not too late." Gu Jiaru held onto Han Yunshang's hand.
"Why are your hands so cold?" He held back his weak little hand and frowned. "What are you afraid of? Even if she dies, no one can do anything to you. "
"No, I'm just a little worried." Gu Jiaru also understood that it was better to save than to do too much, so she could not help but reveal a worried look and ask softly.
Han Yunshang instead leaned over Gu Jiaru's face and gently kissed: "There's no need."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his voice again and said to Gu Jiaru with a voice loud enough for only two people to hear, "I've sent two experts to protect you in the dark. So you don't have to be afraid of anything. "
Hearing this, Gu Jiaru was startled for a few seconds.
The people who could be called an expert by Han Yunshang should be the people who frequently appeared by his side.
Or even stronger...
Why didn't he send them to protect me before, after all that had happened?
She lowered her head on purpose, concealing the worry and panic in her eyes.
Han Yunshang reached out and pinched her chin, gently lifting it up so that she could raise his head to look at him, before continuing, "I know you probably don't like people watching you. I can guarantee that if you are not in danger, they will not disturb you. If you need privacy, I don't often ask them for your whereabouts. They are only responsible for your safety when you are in danger. "
These solemn vows almost made Gu Jiaru cry.
She vaguely remembered that the last time she was so touched, it was also because of the usual Han Yunshang who didn't like to speak sweetly, that he spoke those words that he cared about with a serious attitude.
To Gu Jiaru, this kind of understanding made her feel that it was a little hard to believe, and made her feel even more ashamed.
Her left hand secretly held onto the leather chair, trying to suppress her body's trembling. Her previous thought of using a petty person's heart to take advantage of a gentleman was now completely laughable.
It wasn't that Han Yunshang didn't have any intention to protect himself, it was just to show enough respect.
Her heart felt as if it had been struck hard by something, and then there was the sweet feeling of trembling again.
It was not hard to understand Han Yunshang's shocked expression when he saw Xia Fengnan today. Perhaps it was to respect him, but he who was so suspicious did not carry out any investigations.
On the other hand, he had a plan that he was hiding from Ye Xiao, and he had hidden from Ye Xiao all kinds of unfavorable thoughts. It was too submissive of him to think about using escape to solve the problem.
"Sorry …" "About my adoptive father …" Gu Jiaru hesitated and took the initiative to raise it.
