Chapter 410 Things are getting more complicated
As time goes by, Gu Yuan and Jiang Ning's relationship seems to be recovering steadily.
They are like carefully nurturing a fragile plant, watering and fertilizing it cautiously, hoping that it will come back to life.
However, just as the relationship was gradually warming up, an unexpected phone call broke the peace they had just established.
That night, Gu Yuan's cell phone rang, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.
He wanted to hang up directly, but out of professional habit, he still answered the call.
A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding anxious and urgent.
"Mr. Gu, I'm Lin Wei. You may not remember me, but we have met. I need your help, it's urgent!"
Gu Yuan frowned. He really had no impression of this name, but the urgency revealed in the other party's voice made him unable to ignore it.
His heart began to feel conflicted. On one side was Jiang Ning beside him, and on the other side was the mysterious man's request for help. He didn't know how to choose.
He looked at Jiang Ning beside him. She was watching TV intently and didn't seem to notice the call.
Conflicting emotions surged in Gu Yuan's heart. He didn't want to ruin the atmosphere between them because of this phone call, but he felt that he couldn't turn a blind eye to other people's difficulties.
"How can I help you?"
Gu Yuan tried his best to keep his voice steady, while secretly praying that Jiang Ning would not notice anything unusual about him.
"It's not convenient to talk here. Can you come out and meet me? I really need your help."
There was a hint of crying in Lin Wei's voice, which made Gu Yuan's heart wrenched.
He could sense that the other party must be in a very difficult situation, otherwise he would not be so eager to seek his help.
Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment. He didn't want Jiang Ning to misunderstand, but he also felt that the other party's situation might be really urgent.
After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally decided to meet Lin Wei to see if he could help.
He agreed to meet and agreed on the time and place with Lin Wei.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yuan took a deep breath and tried to restore his expression to normal.
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Ning, trying to explain this sudden call to her in the most natural way.
"Honey, I just received a call from a friend. There's something urgent that I need to deal with."
Gu Yuan said softly, with a hint of apology in his eyes.
Jiang Ning raised his head, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he soon smiled and said:
"It's okay, go ahead. But come back soon, I'll miss you."
Gu Yuan felt warm in his heart. He held Jiang Ning's hand tightly and said:
"Don't worry, I will solve the problem as soon as possible and come back to accompany you early."
After that, he stood up and left, secretly hoping that this decision would not bring any negative impact to their relationship.
Jiang Ning shifted his gaze from the TV to Gu Yuan.
There was a hint of doubt in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by trust.
"Well, go quickly then, don't delay other people's business."
Gu Yuan smiled gratefully, kissed Jiang Ning on the forehead, and then left home in a hurry.
He didn't notice the hint of worry in Jiang Ning's eyes after he left.
In the agreed cafe, Gu Yuan met Lin Wei. She was a beautiful woman, but at the moment her face was full of anxiety and fatigue.
She asked Gu Yuan for legal assistance.
After hearing this, Gu Yuan felt a great responsibility and decided to help Lin Wei, but this meant he had to invest a lot of time and energy.
At the same time, Jiang Ning felt an inexplicable uneasiness at home.
She kept telling herself to trust Gu Yuan, but the doubts in her heart were spreading like weeds.
So, she began to silently pay attention to Gu Yuan's every move, carefully observing the specific time when he returned home every time, and even the call records in his mobile phone.
One night, Jiang Ning accidentally found a text message from Lin Wei on Gu Yuan's phone:
"Thank you so much for your help. Without you, I would be really lost. You are like a lifesaver to me."
After reading this text message, Jiang Ning felt dizzy, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.
At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder, was Gu Yuan just lending a helping hand to a client who needed legal aid? Or was there some unknown secret hidden behind this?
After careful consideration, Jiang Ning made up his mind to find out the truth.
In the following days, Jiang Ning chose to follow Gu Yuan.
During this period, she witnessed too many meetings between him and Lin Wei, and each such encounter made her feel heavier.
Finally, one day, when she saw Gu Yuan and Lin Wei appearing at the door of a hospital together, Lin Wei was holding a baby in her arms, and Gu Yuan was asking something with concern.
Jiang Ning's world seemed to collapse completely at this moment. Her heart was like a crumbling building, falling apart in an instant.
Countless speculations and suspicions surged into her mind, drowning her like a surging tide.
She stood there at a loss, not knowing how to face the situation.
Should he bravely step forward and question Gu Yuan, or choose to leave quietly and retain the last bit of dignity?
However, fate always seems to play tricks on people.
Just when Jiang Ning was hesitating, Gu Yuan turned around inadvertently and his eyes happened to meet Jiang Ning who was standing in the distance.
His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his pace quickened involuntarily as he walked towards Jiang Ning.
There was an indescribable tension and anxiety in his eyes, as if he wanted to explain everything to her immediately.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ning had already lost his mind at this time.
She couldn't control her emotions at all, and tears kept rolling down like beads from a broken string.
She used all her strength to turn around and flee from this heartbreaking place.
Her steps were staggering and hurried, as if a ferocious beast was chasing her from behind.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan hurriedly chased after him.
He held Jiang Ning's arm tightly in the hospital corridor and said anxiously:
"Listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think."
His voice was full of earnestness and helplessness, hoping to calm Jiang Ning's anger.
However, Jiang Ning's heart had been hurt too deeply.
She struggled to break free from Gu Yuan's restraints, her voice filled with uncontrollable anger and despair:
"What else is there to explain? I saw you with her with my own eyes! What happened between you two? Why did you do this to me?"
Her question was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Gu Yuan's heart...
