Chapter 860: Chapter 861: Already Gone?
The next day.
Qin Sijue found out through investigation that Gu Shijie had his sentence reduced. He hadn’t expected Di Zhengtian to be so pragmatic—to think he would disown his own son once he realized that Gu Shijie couldn’t carry on his family line.
But for someone like Gu Shijie, it was probably deserved.
Early in the morning, Gu Qiangwei hurried to the Huo Family’s residence because she was still worried about Huo Yishan.
She didn’t even know if Li Yuan had left. Last night, the reason Yishan stood in the rain—had she gone out to chase after Li Yuan, or had they fought?
“Ding dong…”
The doorbell rang, and a servant walked over to open the door.
When Shu Yulan saw Gu Qiangwei being led into the living room by the servant, she was somewhat surprised.
“Qiangwei? Why are you here?”
Seeing Shu Yulan, Gu Qiangwei smiled slightly, “Is Yishan here? Is she in?”
Shu Yulan smiled, “Shanshan left early in the morning, she didn’t even eat breakfast and didn’t say where she was going.”
Gu Qiangwei paused.
She left early in the morning?
Did she go to hold on to Li Yuan?
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Early in the morning, Huo Yishan, with her heavy head, visited Li Yuan’s private villa.
However, despite ringing the doorbell for a long time, no one answered.
Afterward, she went to the hospital.
“He already left?”
Looking at the new Dean in front of her, Huo Yishan paused, learning from him that Li Yuan had already left Jingcheng and that the hospital had been fully handed over to this new Dean for management.
“Yes, he was originally planning to leave in the afternoon after handling all the matters this morning, but for some reason, he left suddenly last night and handled some trivial matters through emails.”
Huo Yishan was stunned.
He had left last night?
“I see, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
The Dean gave her a slight smile and then turned and left.
“Achoo!”
Huo Yishan sneezed; perhaps due to being in the rain last night, she had woken up with a heavy head and had now started sneezing.
When she got home, it was already 9:40 in the morning.
“Achoo!”
Just as she entered the living room, another sneeze sounded.
“Shanshan, what’s wrong? Do you have a cold?” Seeing her daughter return, Shu Yulan came over and asked worriedly.
Huo Yishan glanced at her mother, “I might have a slight cold. I’ll go upstairs to take some medicine and sleep a bit more.”
After saying that, she headed upstairs.
“Don’t you need to call a doctor?” from behind, Shu Yulan was still a bit worried.
“No need, it’s just a minor cold.”
Back in her room, Huo Yishan dropped her bag and didn’t take any medicine; instead, she lay down on the bed weakly, staring blankly at the ceiling.
In her mind, resounded the Dean’s voice: He was originally planning to leave in the afternoon after handling all the matters this morning, but for some reason, he left suddenly last night…
Why did he leave early? Not even wanting the hospital anymore…
Was he really planning to return to Country A, marry Ruan Qiuting, have children, and then live a stable life there?
At this thought, Huo Yishan suddenly felt a sharp sting in her eyes, grabbed a pillow beside her, and covered her face as if not wanting the tears brimming in her eyes to fall.
Why does it hurt so much?
The door was pushed open, and Huo Yishan quickly wiped her tears and took a deep breath before removing the pillow from her face.
Turning her head, she saw her mother, Shu Yulan, carrying a bowl of ginger tea as she walked in.
