"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself," Shen Xingyuan comforted him softly. "It has nothing to do with you."
Han Li's head was throbbing: "Is it none of my business? How could it be none of my business? I'm her mother, but I'm her mother, I have to protect her..."
Shen Xingyuan knew that Han Li was having an episode: "Calm down. Yan Yan has grown up. She doesn't need your protection anymore. She can protect herself now. Besides, I'm here. I will protect her."
"You're protecting her?" Han Li asked, confused. "Why would you want to protect her?"
Shen Xingyuan paused, then pursed his lips: "She saved me. I am her patient. She helped me stand up, so I should protect her."
Han Li was confused.
"I'll take you back to your room and then explain it to you," Shen Xingyuan said patiently.
Han Li nodded: "Okay, explain it to me."
Arrived at the room.
Shen Xingyuan picked up the medicine on the table and handed it to Han Li: "Take your medicine first."
Han Li pouted, "This medicine is very bitter."
"I have some candy here." Shen Xingyuan took out a piece of candy from his pocket and said in a coaxing tone, "If you take your medicine, I'll give you candy."
"Okay." Han Li obediently took the medicine.
Shen Xingyuan unwrapped the candy and then put it to Han Li's lips.
Han Li, with a candy in her mouth, said, "It doesn't seem sweet."
Shen Xingyuan smiled helplessly: "It's probably because the medicine is too bitter."
"Yan Yan will be alright, right?" Han Li asked.
Shen Xingyuan nodded: "She'll be fine, I'll protect her."
"Thank you." Han Li grasped Shen Xingyuan's hand, frowning slightly. "I... I don't know how to say it, but thank you anyway."
"You're welcome," Shen Xingyuan sighed. "You never need to be polite with me."
He owed her.
Han Li blinked: "I'm sleepy."
"Go to sleep." Shen Xingyuan helped Han Li lie down.
Han Li fell asleep quickly.
Shen Xingyuan sat on the edge of the bed, gently patting Han Li's shoulder with his large hand.
He looked at Han Li's face, his eyes filled with heartache.

Another day.
Mu Xi pulled me out of bed: "How were you all night?"
"Why are you here?" I asked, puzzled.
"Didn't we agree to celebrate New Year's Eve together?" Mu Xi reminded her, "My parents are bringing things over and are preparing them in the kitchen."
I immediately perked up: "How can we let Uncle and Aunt cook?"
"Oh, don't worry about it, this is their fun." Mu Xi explained, "They have nothing to do now, and they finally have something to do, so let them do what they want."
"Then I should get up too." I pulled back the covers.
"Yan Yan, are you really okay?" Mu Xi looked at me with concern.
I stood up and went into the dressing room.
She followed.
"Hmm, that's fine." I picked up a set of clothes: "What's the point of me making a scene now that it's already happened? Besides, it's really pathetic to act like I'm going to die for a man."
"If you're still upset, you can tell me. I won't laugh at you," Mu Xi comforted. "We're all human, not saints. It's normal to misjudge people. There's no need to put yourself on such a pedestal."
"I'm really fine. Actually, I suddenly felt relieved yesterday." I sighed. "From now on, Huo Yubai and I will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Mu Xi nodded.
"Oh right, I forgot to ask Madam Gu for the evidence." I picked up my phone.
I received several WeChat notifications.
Huo Yubai added me again: Yan Yan, I'm sorry, can you give me another chance?
I ignored it.
What interested me more was the WeChat message from Gu Yunwei.
Gu Yunwei: My grandma gave me all the evidence. When are you free? I'll bring it to you.
Me: I'm free right now.
Gu Yunwei sent it to me an hour ago, and I don't know if he's still there.
A moment.
Gu Yun did not reply: I'm at home, I'll be there in a bit.
Me: Okay, I'll wait for you.
Very good!
Gu Haoran, don't even think about running away!
After I changed my clothes, Mu Xi and I went downstairs.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xingyuan and Mu's father were busy in the kitchen.
Shen Xingyuan's hands and feet are still not very flexible, but he said, "I should move around more, otherwise it will take longer to recover."
Mu's mother was chatting with my mother in the living room.
Surprisingly, the two of them got along very well.
They used to have a good relationship.
Mu's mother is very patient.
"Mother Mu, you've arrived." I sat down.
"We agreed to spend New Year's Eve together, so we bought the ingredients and came over." Mother Mu said happily, "I'll make your and Xixi's favorite dishes in a little while."
"Mom, why don't you adopt Yan Yan as your goddaughter? That way I'll have another older sister," Mu Xi said coquettishly.
"Great!" Mrs. Mu called out to the kitchen, "Old Mu, we have another daughter now."
Mr. Mu smiled and said, "That's wonderful. Daughters are always like warm cotton-padded jackets."
“(＾－＾)V, I have a sister now.” Mu Xi hugged me.
I smiled, because actually, between Mu Xi and me, she was the one who took care of me more often.
She is the older sister.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang.
"It should be Gu Yunwei." I stood up. "I'll go open the door."
I put on my coat and ran into the yard.
As I arrived at the main gate, Gu Yunwei, dressed in a dark black coat, stood at the entrance, smiling as he looked at me through the intricately carved, openwork door.
There was another person standing next to him.
Huo Yubai.
He was dressed in a black suit with a dark blue overcoat, but he looked thin and aloof.
When Huo Yubai saw me come out, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but when he saw that I didn't even look at him, the light in his eyes instantly disappeared.
I opened the door: "Sorry, I didn't tell Auntie that you were coming, so they closed the door. Come in."
"Okay." Gu Yunwei nodded.
As soon as he came in, I prepared to close the door.
"Yan Yan," Huo Yubai said, his eyes red.
I paused, closed the door, and walked inside without looking back.
Huo Yubai's thin lips trembled slightly, but he remained standing outside the door.
Gu Yun glanced back and asked, "Aren't you going to let him in?"
"Why should we let him in?" I asked back.
Gu Yun remained unmoved.
Upon entering the villa, Gu Yun didn't greet everyone before following me to the study.
He handed me a USB drive: "These are the things you wanted."
"Thank you." I couldn't help but joke, "I didn't expect you to be able to hand it over to me so smoothly."
"Not all people with the surname Gu are bad," Gu Yunwei said with a faint smile.
"Of course." I opened the USB drive, and the contents did indeed prove that the person who attacked my mother back then was arranged by Gu Haoran.
I sent the evidence directly to Xia Zhe and let him handle it.
"It seems you're not planning to let Gu Haoran have a proper New Year's Eve," Gu Yunwei said.
"He still wants to celebrate the New Year?" I sneered. "He'll never walk out of prison again in his lifetime."
I've been waiting for this day for a long time.
