At the Gu Family’s mansion in A Land.
Gu Siting’s hurried departure from A Land had made Ling Yan very uneasy.
She had called him, but Gu Siting had not answered.
She had called Kuroda Shio, but he had not told her where they were either.
After Ji Fang received her call, she rushed to the Gu Family and tried to persuade her to leave with her. However, Ling Yan still did not believe that Gu Siting would know everything.
So she insisted on staying at the Gu Family and waiting for him to come home.
“Yanyan, he left in a hurry and did not tell us where he was going. He must have found out something. Just to be safe, let’s go.” Ji Fang worriedly tried to persuade her again.
Although Ling Yan was a bit uneasy, the thought of becoming Mrs. Ling overrode her anxiety.
“He is very busy with work, and it is not like he has not rushed out before.”
Especially when he wanted to break off the engagement with her, so it was normal that he did not tell her where he was.
Now if they left A Land, they would look very suspicious.
“But if he really knows something and comes back, it will be too late.” Ji Fang felt that Gu Siting’s departure this time was a bit strange.
Yet these two days, no matter how much she tried to persuade her, Ling Yan still refused to leave with her.
She was not leaving, and as her mother, she would not leave her alone.
“No, that person never showed up,” Ling Yan said firmly.
Although he had received many people at home during those days, she had always asked someone to keep an eye out for him. He only received people who had business dealings with the company.
Also, the Fu Family had been looking for the Chinese person he was talking about.
Because of that, the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl’s master did not appear.
And there was no such person.
Ji Fang looked at her stubborn daughter, not knowing what to do.
Ling Yan cut a small piece of freshly-made cake and gave it to her mother.
“Mom, try it, how well have I made it?”
Gu Siting liked this kind of cake and Gu Weiwei had made one for him before.
She had tried many times before succeeding.
When Gu Siting was back, she should be able to do a better job than Gu Weiwei.
Ji Fang absentmindedly took a bite and nodded.
“Great, just in time for dessert.”
Satisfied, Ling Yan took a bite and wrapped it up in the box.
“Mom, take this cake back with you and dad, I am fine here.”
Ji Fang thought for a while and tried to persuade her.
“Yanyan, what about… spending the day with me? We can come back if there’s nothing else.”
The anxiety she was feeling inside told her that staying in A Land was very dangerous.
“Mom, I told you that it is okay, you are just worrying too much,” Ling Yan whispered as she untied her apron.
The mother and daughter were just talking when the sound of a car came from outside.
Ling Yan and Ji Fang exchanged a look, restrained their emotions and walked towards the living room.
From afar, she saw Gu Siting, who had been away from home for days.
“Brother Siting, where have you been these past few days? You are finally home.” Ling Yan smiled gently.
Gu Siting looked at the woman who was walking towards him. He had been blinded by her gentle and weak look.
He had never expected that it was her, Weiwei’s friend, who had killed her.
