In the enormous courtyard, only Sheng Shi remained, kneeling there all alone.
Then, he was overcome by a suffocating discomfort. He wondered, "Lately, things had been going well, how could Gu Lanshan have definitely put a green hat on him?"
***********
Gu Lanshan had not closed her eyes all night. The scene where Han Chengchi was hit by the car kept replaying in her mind, the vivid red, startling and painful enough that her eyes and heart were still throbbing.
The servants had gone upstairs and called her several times to come down for food, but she ignored them completely, even when the housekeeper brought the food up to her room, she didn't move at all.
Just when everyone in the house was at a loss on what to do next, Sheng Shi returned.
Upon seeing Sheng Shi, the housekeeper, as if seeing a lifesaver, approached and loudly said, "Mr. Sheng, you are finally back. Lady Shan hasn't eaten or slept since you left yesterday afternoon."
