Her voice went hoarse from shouting, and she held her head and cried bitterly.
No one paid her any mind, and no one changed their mind to console her.
The sky grew darker and darker.
If she didn’t want to sleep on the streets tonight, she had to find sowhere to stay.
Her eyes were red and swollen as she struggled to stand up, dragging three suitcases to find a place to stay.
She didn’t have much money with her, couldn’t afford a luxury hotel, and could only rent an apartnt for now.
She checked out a few decent apartnts, but none were within her budget.
In the end, with no other choice, she could only rent a small attic room to stay temporarily.
Though hope seed slim, she still held a bit of hope.
Hope that Senior Master Gu was just trying to scare her, to teach her a lesson, and would bring her back in a few days.
The hard days ahead were only temporary.
Senior Master Gu surely wouldn’t disregard her grandfather’s dying wish and treat her so cruelly.
She definitely still had a chance to return to the Gu Family.
Definitely!

In the hospital, Ye Xingbei was full of pride, grinning from ear to ear.
She held the paternity test results in her hand, unable to look at them enough.
She decided.
After being discharged, she would imdiately get the paternity test results frad and locked away with the dowry her mother left her.
The paternity test results were just as precious a gift as the dowry from her mother!
Gu Junzhu playfully touched her cheek, "Why are you grinning so foolishly?"
Ye Xingbei looked at him and smiled, "Before you say I’m foolish, you should look in the mirror as if your smile isn’t foolish!"
Gu Junzhu held her hand, "Alright, today is a good day for the two of us; let’s just be foolish then."
"Yes," Ye Xingbei nodded, moving slightly, "But this injury of mine is quite unsightly. If it weren’t for the injury, I feel like I could run several laps around Jiang City now."
Although her wound wasn’t large, the surgery was successful, and she used the best dicine. The recovery was quick, but ultimately it was a stab wound, and she needed a few more days of rest to fully recover.
But now she was already able to get out of bed and sit, feed herself, and take care of hygiene, which was a significant improvent compared to right after the surgery when she couldn’t do anything and could only lie in bed. She was very content.
Gu Junzhu tenderly touched her cheek, "In a few days, you’ll be fine. After you recover, we’ll..."
He didn’t finish his sentence, as soone knocked on the door from outside.
Ye Xingbei raised her voice and said, "Co in."
Muu Qingwan ca in carrying a al box.
"Wanwan, why did you co again?" Ye Xingbei chided, "We could have had the kitchen send so food over; you didn’t need to keep running here. You have to take care of Ah Jue and still co to see ; it’s too much work for you."
Since the day she was hospitalized, Muu Qingwan had been bringing her als every day.
Three als a day, without missing a single one.
Muu Qingwan ran back and forth every day, and Ye Xingbei felt particularly guilty.
She had told Muu Qingwan several tis that she didn’t need to go through so much trouble, but Muu Qingwan always nodded, and yet the next al would still arrive, delicious and plentiful.
"It’s nothing," Muu Qingwan opened the al box on the bedside table, taking out the dishes one by one, smiling as she said, "I’m on vacation anyway and get bored. When I cook for Ah Jue, I also easily make so for you and little uncle. It’s no trouble at all."
She laid out the al and said to Ye Xingbei and Gu Junzhu, "Little aunt, little uncle, you’d better eat while it’s hot, or it’ll affect the taste. I’ll cook sothing even better for you after little aunt is discharged to nourish you both."
"No," Ye Xingbei said, "Every al you make is already delicious."
