It took only ten or so minutes for her throat to become constricted and her eyes to dry up.
No matter how many times one dangled the bucket, one couldn't fetch even a single drop of water if the well was sapped dry. Wu Jinyan knew she already reached her limits. Crying further would only add more pain to her aching throat. She wasn't done yet but knowing that she could'nt go beyond her limits, she gave up wailing and wiped her face clean.
Her heart felt a little relaxed and light as she already cried her eyes out.
Feeling refreshed, she diverted her attention to the food brought by Chen Fei on Gu Zichen's order. Without hesitation, she threw the seafood porridge straight into the trash can and clapped her hands as if removing dirt from her hands.
She grabbed a glass of water and downed the contents in a single go.
She learnt it long ago that crying and resenting would not solve her problems. It just takes a little time to find an appropriate solution to her problems. Every problem has a solution and sunrise follows behind every sunset.
She cried an entire night when she was left alone on streets by her biological aunt, but no one came to look for her until she walked by herself towards an orphanage in her locality. Six months later, Wu Hao adopted her as his daughter. At the age of five, she found a new hope in the form of Wu Hao.
She cried for three days straight when the parrot she received as a gift from Wu Hao was poisoned to death by Wu Meihua. She cried and cried, but what's the use with it. Her pet bird didn't come back to life. Instead, she got a Deutsche dogge next time. Scared by the creature's large size, Wu Meihua stayed away.
When she was kicked out of Wu family three years ago, she was forced to seek shelter on streets. She cried for a whole week, blaming Wu Hao. Gritting her teeth, she endured all kinds of assaults until she met Mu Feng. Following him, she flew to America and lead a peaceful life like a free bird. During her most difficult times, Mu Feng gave her a new hope to live.
Now, the man she loved wouldn't come back even if she kept crying day and night. She could only move on with her own life. It's just that the man she loved was her lawfully wedded husband, who already hada girlfriend. She was really in a troublesome and hopeless situation.
Every single experience in her life taught her a valuable lesson. She met Gu Zichen and was finally enlightened.
"Never trust a man blindly and at any cost don't let your guard down when he's a heart robbing beauty" Muttering to herself, Wu Jinyan exhaled a gust of turbid air.
Hu!
Peering at the darkening sky, she said to herself "Jinyan...you are still young to give up on your life" With a determined gaze, she clenched her fists in agitation.
She decided to rest well instead of thinking about unnecessary stuff that would drain her energy and pollute her mind.

The next day, she expected she would see someone she knew right after opening her eyes but only a doctor and a couple of nurses visited her early in the morning to check on her condition.
"Mrs. Gu, your level of improvement is great. At this rate, you can get discharged from the hospital tomorrow... Mrs.Gu! What's wrong?!" Before the doctor attending her could finish his words, all kinds of articles from fruits to books came flying towards him. If not for his quick reflexes, he could have gotten smacked right on his face.
"Who's Mrs. Gu? Your head" Wu Jinyan howled like a beast, narrowing her eyes at the white haired doctor. She was a calm girl and always behaved respectfully towards elders but this oldie hit right on her wound. He should feel relieved that she didn't kill him on the spot.
"Mrs. Gu, calm down. If not as Mrs.Gu, how do I address you?!" The doctor scratched his head in confusion. He never expected to see a woman who would hate to be addressed as Mrs. Gu. If it was some other woman, she wouldn't mind shaving her head, to be called as Mrs.Gu. That's like a hot seat.
"Listen carefully. I'm not that bastard's wife" Taking a couple of deep breaths, Wu Jinyan said controlling her rage. When she was trying her best to forget her status as Gu Zichen's wife and to never think of him, someone was raising the same topic again and again.
'Women out there are dying to see him but here you are behaving as though you hate him to death. Woman, he's the walking load of gold. That man who can turn the whole city upside down with a flick and you are calling him a bastard. Are you sure that you are sane?' The elderly doctor twitched his mouth. He had seen foolish women, but not someone as foolish as this woman before him. Moreover, he clearly saw how President Gu stayed by this woman's side for an entire week, taking care of her.
The doctor didn't know who's the real stupid person. It could be her for being unconcerned about President Gu's identity and worth, or President Gu for caring for a woman who doesn't even bother about him.
However, the elderly doctor knew if he continued getting involved in other's business, he would become the biggest fool. It would be better for him if he minded his business .
"Miss Wu, you are absolutely alright. I think you can get discharged right away" Taking a look at the patient record, he found out the way to address her appropriately. Watching her scream at the top of her lungs, he was confident she could be discharged right away.
