Matt turned around and prepared to leave, his eyes swept over Zhao Jinheng, as if he saw something strange.
He quickly stopped and took a closer look.
Only then did he notice that there was a hole on the right shoulder of Zhao Jinheng's dark brown suit, and it was covered in blood.
"What happened to Mr. Zhao? Was he robbed?"
Gu Jinlan urged, "He lost a lot of blood and needs to replenish his energy as soon as possible. Go and make something to eat."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Matt stopped delaying and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
"Sorry for the trouble." Zhao Jinheng bowed slightly to Matt.
Matt walked forward, waving his hands and saying, "Mr. Zhao, you're welcome. Since Lan Lan brought you here, you can treat this place as your own home and be at ease."
Seeing that Zhao Jinheng was a little reserved, Gu Jinlan teased, "Aren't you usually quite arrogant? Now you have become more cultured."
Zhao Jinheng was stunned for a moment, "You...may have some misunderstanding about me."
Gu Jinlan smiled noncommittally and said, "Sit on the sofa and take a rest first."
Then Gu Jinlan brought a retro-style wireless landline and placed it in front of Zhao Jinheng, "The eldest brother and the third brother are here to see you. Give them a call first to let them know you're safe and let them go back first."
"it is good."
Zhao Jinheng reached out to take the receiver, but Gu Jinlan quickly pressed the receiver and reminded him, "Don't tell them where you are, in case their phones are tapped."
Zhao Jinheng nodded. At this moment, his serious expression looked as if he would nod and agree no matter what Gu Jinlan asked him to do.
Gu Jinlan reminded again: "Don't tell them you saw me. I don't want them to know about me."
Zhao Jinheng looked hesitant.
Only after he nodded did Gu Jinlan release her hand from the receiver.
Zhao Jinheng dialed Zhao Jinchen's cell phone number, "Hello, brother, it's me."
Zhao Jinchen was surprised when he received the call, "Jin Heng! Where are you?"
Zhao Jinheng glanced at Gu Jinlan and said, "I'm at a friend's house."
Zhao Jinchen breathed a sigh of relief: "Jingchuan and I have come here to look for you, but we have been unable to contact you. We are very worried about you. What happened to you?"
Zhao Jinheng said: "I'll explain it to you when I get back. Anyway, don't worry about me. You guys go back first."
Zhao Jinchen asked: "Where is your friend's home? Let's come to find you now and talk in person."
Zhao Jinheng said, "No, you guys go back first, I'll be back soon. Tell my parents for me so they don't worry."
Then, Zhao Jingchuan's voice came from the other end of the line, "Second brother? Is it inconvenient for you now? If not, just say 'hmm', and my eldest brother and I will find a way to find you."
Zhao Jinheng said: "It's really okay, you guys go back first, I'll be back soon, don't worry about me, don't worry."
Zhao Jingchuan was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and then he replied after a moment: "Okay, then we will go back first, you come back early."
"Yeah." Zhao Jinheng hung up the phone.
Gu Jinlan said, "Third brother is really a person with an extremely delicate and sharp mind."
She was sitting next to Zhao Jinheng and could clearly hear the voice coming from the telephone receiver.
Zhao Jinheng smiled and said, "Among us brothers, he has been the most thoughtful since childhood."
As he said this, he looked at Gu Jinlan, and the smile on his face suddenly dimmed. "Why don't you want them to know that it was you who saved me?"
In his previous understanding of Gu Jinlan, Gu Jinlan saved his life, and he should want to let everyone in the Zhao family know and demand repayment.
It seems that he had misunderstood Gu Jinlan in the past.
Gu Jinlan said: "I just don't want anyone to know about my past. Once they know that I saved you, my past will be dug up."
Zhao Jinheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Gu Jinlan up and down.
She has such a thin body, but has such powerful abilities.
It would be impossible to do this if he hadn't undergone inhuman training.
"Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more questions, but..."
Zhao Jinheng looked at Gu Jinlan with an expression that revealed his unconscious heartache, and his tone became heavy, "It's really hard to imagine what you went through during those years you were living away from home."
Along the way, he remembered Gu Jinlan said twice, "For people like us, sacrifice is inevitable."
In other words, in the past few years, she has lived a precarious life.
When she said that, her tone was surprisingly calm...
Thinking of this, Zhao Jinheng suddenly felt as if his heart was being grabbed.
Perhaps it was because the wound on his right shoulder was pulling at his heart that he suddenly found it difficult to breathe.
"If... you hadn't been kidnapped back then, you wouldn't have gone through all that."
She should have grown up surrounded by love and warmth.
Hearing this, Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Hey, don't look at me with sympathy, I lived a good life during those years away from home.
If I had grown up in the Zhao family, I would have definitely been spoiled like Zhao Shiyun. I am very satisfied with myself now.
Without those experiences, I wouldn’t be who I am today.”
Hearing the name 'Zhao Shiyun', Zhao Jinheng suddenly remembered his previous words, actions and attitudes towards Gu Jinlan in order to protect Zhao Shiyun.
The wound seems to hurt more...
Looking at the seemingly relaxed smile on Gu Jinlan's face, he sighed helplessly, "The hardships in the past not only made you have a strong heart, but also taught you to use an indestructible appearance to protect yourself.
But you are back with your family now, right? You don’t need to pretend anymore.”
In the past, Zhao Shiyun would cry and act like a spoiled brat at every turn, which is how a young girl should be.
But Gu Jinlan is very different.
When she learned that her friend on the farm had an accident, she was obviously very sad, but she still pretended to be calm.
He couldn't imagine how much suffering a person must have gone through to be able to appear so calm and composed in the face of death and loss, completely hiding his inner fragility.
“……”Gu Jinlan blinked in surprise.
"I'm sorry..." Zhao Jinheng's voice became hoarse with shame, "I shouldn't have said you were cold-blooded."
Now he realized that she didn't want to abandon He Feng at that time.
"You...you suddenly talk to me like this, I...I'm a little uncomfortable." Gu Jinlan stuttered. Zhao Jinheng couldn't help her.
"Heh~" Zhao Jinheng laughed at himself.
"It's nothing, don't let yourself imagine so much." Gu Jinlan forced a smile, "Although I did feel bad about my past, now Aye has changed me."
