"You're still a child, and sometimes things aren't as simple as you think. Your mother knows you're smart, but no matter how smart you are, you're still just a child. I hope you don't trust anyone too easily." Ye Wan couldn't say too much, as overreacting would only make her daughter suspect something was wrong.
But she truly didn't want her daughter to meet Gu Yunting, let alone acknowledge him as family. Perhaps bringing her back this time was a mistake. She should have kept her there, no matter how much she threw a tantrum, because she had many people looking after her there.
She had only returned this time to see Mian Mian with Jiang Mi, and they planned to start a company. They would be returning eventually anyway.
However, thinking about her daughter's personality, if she had truly abandoned her there, she might have sneaked back on her own.
It would be even more troublesome if she couldn't find her then.
Ye Wan felt a headache coming on. Why were other people's daughters so soft, sweet, and adorable, while hers was so sharp and cunning? She had to carefully consider her words for days just to try and trick her, and even then, it wasn't guaranteed to work. If her daughter found out, it would be incredibly awkward.
"Mom, I know. Uncle Gu isn't a bad person, but he seems to be sick. When we were eating today, he suddenly fainted. At first, I wondered why he fainted right after you called. Then I thought, he must be sick!" Ye Tuantuan said.
Ye Wan's expression grew colder. "If he's sick, then you should stay away from him even more. Oh, by the way, your Ling Dad is looking for you. Go see what he wants."
"It must be something good! My Ling Dad is definitely going to give me money!" Ye Tuantuan said, happily running into the room to find Ling Dad.
Ye Wan frowned, saying no more. It seemed she had to take her daughter away from here sooner rather than later. She only hoped Jiang Mi's return this time would have a good outcome. She wondered if Mian Mian would be willing to leave with her.
Still worried, she cautioned her daughter a few more times. She had other matters to attend to, so she went out.
...
Ye Wan took a taxi to the rented office space. She still needed to check if anything was missing and buy it. As she was messaging Jiang Mi, she suddenly felt her body lurch uncontrollably forward, her forehead hitting the seat in front with a bang, instantly making her feel dizzy and disoriented.
The taxi driver was also furious. It wasn't pleasant to be rear-ended while driving, and he got out to check the situation. But when he saw the car that had hit him, he instantly fell silent. This, this... it was a Bentley, wasn't it?
One of these cars alone would cost more than a hundred of his humble car.
The taxi driver dared not speak further. Ye Wan got out of the car as well, her hand covering her aching forehead.
The driver was also quite shaken. He kept apologizing to Gu Yunting. Gu Yunting, sitting in the back seat, frowned and looked outside. When he saw the woman standing in front of his car, holding her forehead, his pupils dilated in shock. His heart felt like it was about to explode. Countless fragmented images flashed through his mind, but they were like something in water, unclear, distorted, and deformed. He pushed open the car door, rushed out, and before Ye Wan, he grabbed her arm.
Ye Wan frowned, looking at the person who had suddenly grabbed her. She was about to reprimand him with displeasure, but when she saw who it was, her expression froze, then turned cold.
"Who are you!" Gu Yunting felt a splitting headache. Who was this woman in front of him? Why did she make him feel like living was worse than death? He felt as if he were about to die. A grown man was actually shedding tears like this.
