Wen Xinya thought about everything that had happened recently, from Shen Mengting’s assault on Ning Shuqian, followed by her grandfather being admitted to the hospital, Si Yiyan getting injured, the opening of Lanxin Cosmetics, and lastly, the wipeout of Black Sunday. She had been extremely busy with her personal matters and did not have the time to take care of Old Mr. Mo’s health. Staring at how haggard he looked, Wen Xinya could not help but find that his hair had turned whiter.
Tears welled up in her eyes and she asked worriedly,
Grampy, how has your health been lately? Did you take the medicine that I told Mother He to prepare for you regularly? Do you still get aches in your chest?

Old Mr. Mo grimaced at her question. Mother Zhang and Mother He had been treating Wen Xinya’s words like they were a royal edict. They’d been whipping up a large variety of herbal soups every single day and they’d keep their eyes fixed on him during mealtimes to make sure he finished them. He said,
My health is in great shape. Don’t worry.

Wen Xinya could not stop worrying at all. Hence, she decided to ask Mother He about Old Mr. Mo’s health condition later.
I’ll look Ruoruo up tomorrow and ask her for some new recipes that you can try.

With a slight frown, Old Mr. Mo said,
You don’t have to go to all that trouble. My body is very healthy, I don’t need such treatment at all.



Wen Xinya smiled and said,
There’s no harm in nourishing your body and health with some herbal soup.

As soon as Old Mr. Mo left the study, Wen Xinya hurriedly called Gu Junling.
The call was picked up soon enough and Gu Junling answered in a raspy voice,
Hello, Wen Xinya, are you alright!?!

Although she owed him an explanation for breaking his window and sneaking away the night before, he was still rather concerned about her wellbeing, making her feel touched to tears.
Don’t worry, I’m alright. Last night…

She wanted to make things clear to Gu Junling, for she felt the need to be sincere and honest with her friend, especially since she got him involved.
Gu Junling hurriedly said,
Xinya, did Old Mr. Mo get upset with you and punished you? I’m really sorry, I should have thought twice before making the decision to call him. I was really worried after receiving your call at one o’clock in the morning yesterday. I couldn’t find you at Black Sunday, nor could I reach you. That’s why I went to the Mo Family home early in the morning. I didn’t mean to tell Old Mr. Mo about it.

He only felt much less worried after being told that Old Mr. Mo had contacted Wen Xinya. However, he felt rather guilty for causing Wen Xinya to be punished by Old Mr. Mo because he had told on her.
Wen Xinya teared up again. Not only did Gu Junling not blame her for hiding things from him, he even felt sorry for making her suffer a punishment.
I’m alright. Grampy has always been magnanimous and understanding towards me. He only chided me a little and punished me by making me copy the Mo Family teachings. That’s all.

Gu Junling heaved a sigh of relief and said,
Good to hear!

Wen Xinya said,
Junling, I was too rash last night. I…



After a moment of silence, Gu Junling said,
Xinya, I was just worried about your safety. Since you’re safe and well, I’m much more relieved. Everyone has their own secrets. Even though we’re friends, you don’t have to tell me all your secrets.

He was extremely worried about Wen Xinya after finding out that she had snuck out of his home through the window. Hence, he headed straight to look for his grandfather. After much painstaking efforts, he finally found out about Black Sunday and Jiayuan Club. He also found out that the owner of Jiayuan Club was Si Yiyan, the leader of Xiasi Group.
The people involved with Black Sunday had all been sent to prison and put behind bars. Yet, Wen Xinya was still alive and unscathed. It simply meant that she had nothing to do with Black Sunday.
Jiayuan Club had a powerful authority in the city and Gu Junlin’s grandfather had also told him before that the members of the Jiayuan Club would strictly follow their principles. It was not exactly a bad thing for Xinya to be related to them for now. However… it’d be better and safer for her to be careful. I’d better not ask too much about Jiayuan Club, lest I cause trouble for Xinya.

Incredibly touched, Wen Xinya said,
Junling, thank you!

She did not actually wish to hide her relationship with Si Yiyan from them. However, she was way too young and it would not be too appropriate to let them know. Hence, she decided that it would be better to keep it from them for the time being.
Gu Junling said,
Why bother thanking me? That’s a little too formal, isn’t it? However, since you’ve apologized, how are you going to make up for destroying my windows? You should have been less brutal with them. They were imported from Europe! Yet, you ruined them completely.

Feeling a little embarrassed and sorry for her actions, she turned red.
Gu Junling was bent on making her feel guilty and embarrassed.
You have no idea how shocked my maid was when she found out that the window had been destroyed this morning. My parents thought that burglars had broken into the house and even made the servants check the entire house for missing items.

He did not exaggerate things at all. The servants had already gone to bed when Wen Xinya arrived the night before. After hearing that Wen Xinya had left for Black Sunday and Jiayuan Club, he immediately headed to the Mo Family home at daybreak and thus, did not have the time to inform them that Wen Xinya had stayed over the night.


A ruckus had already broken out at home by the time he returned.

I’ll definitely visit your home another day and apologize to Uncle and Auntie,
said Wen Xinya, who could not come clean with Gu Junling at all. She felt extremely embarrassed and awkward after hearing his words.
Gu Junling guffawed and said,
It’s alright, I’ve already spoken to them. My old man is still feeling a little guilty. He keeps saying that the windows were not safe enough and that he feels bad about letting you wander around outside.

Wen Xinya felt even more embarrassed and apologetic. She hurriedly tried to change the subject and said,
I heard from Ouyang Feng that there has been a bullish stock lately, you should buy some units and give it a try! It’d be enough to cover the costs of replacing the windows of your home.

She did not hide her investment company from her friends and they had invested quite a bit of money in order to show their support for her.
Gu Junling smiled and said,
In that case, I shan’t hold it against you for breaking my windows.

Ouyang Feng was trustworthy, and his judgment and foresight were often reliable. Gu Junling had earned lots of money from investing as a form of support towards Wen Xinya. No wonder investment companies are gaining so much popularity, 
he thought.
Wen Xinya rolled her eyes.
Gu Junling said,
By the way, did you read the news this morning? Xia Ruya went to Black Sunday last night and ended up on the tabloids today. The photo of her embarrassing herself at Tianyu’s party has also been published. Miss Innocent has become a wild child.

Wen Xinya chuckled and said,
I saw it long ago. Xia Ruya had always been a goody-two-shoes. How unlucky of her to have been caught and exposed during the first time that she visited a night entertainment joint.
