Lu Anqing's heart ached when she looked at Yan Rumei and heard what she has said. She wanted to tell her not to jump in front of danger ever again, especially just for her. But she knew that her silly little girl will not listen and will even reprimand her.
She thought that, as the mother, she should be the one protecting her child instead.
She also honestly did not expect that someone would dare to try and murder her.
She knew of the dangers of being rich. There are some business competitors that will do dirty deeds just so they can pull down, even just a little, their opponents so that they can gain some advantage. It could also be some people who went bankrupt because of bad decisions, and they will blame it on their competitors. She knew Gu Feng, as a very successful businessman, had to deal with those kinds of people over the years.
But she really never expected that someone would attack her, the new wife, and want her dead. It was even another lady in high society who openly did the assault.
Even Gu Feng, her now-husband, also didn't imagine that someone would attack his wife and not target him instead. It was usually him who would be the target of these assassinations or schemes. He also doesn't remember anything similar that happened to his late wife, Ye Jie.
This noon, however, they found out from the Mo family that Mo Yu has always liked Gu Feng. Even long before, she has already shown signs of madness, but they were able to send her away when he first married.
This time though, the marriage of Gu Feng and Lu Anqing was kept secret from the public until yesterday at the hotel. So, the Mo family was not able to prepare. But for some reason, someone notified Mo Yu of this and was even in contact with her for the past month. He was even able to obtain Gu Feng and Lu Anqing's schedule of going to City D and specifically their meeting with Yan Rumei in Tianlong Hotel.
In the end, it was her daughter who sacrificed herself and pulled her away from that danger.
Therefore, the two decided to go back to City A tomorrow morning. They did not want any more danger to come to Yan Rumei's way.
With the arrangements they made to stop any photos of Yan Rumei from being released to the public, only a few people would know what she looks like, so there will be less headache on that.
They have also already instructed Tianlong Hotel to increase their security measures and even left a handful of their own men to help. The only problem will be when she leaves the penthouse.
She still refuses to have more bodyguards. She only wanted Bodyguard Bo, Assistant Li, and Driver Chu to accompany her.
Although Gu Feng trusts the trio, especially Bodyguard Bo's fighting skills, he still could not help but worry for his new daughter's safety.
"Ha… You two, why the long face?", Yan Rumei finally broke the silence. "It's just City A and just about 1 to 2-hour flight away, don't be so sad mom… dad. City H was even farther from here, which is a 4-hour flight."
Of course, Yan Rumei is also aware of their worries. Their situation now wasn't the same as before where she and her mom were just nobodies. They have now become targets of some people.
-Sigh-
Lu Anqing sighed and moved forward to lightly hug her, "My silly girl, come visit us on City A during the Mid-Autumn Festival, okay? You can meet your two brothers by then."
"Mnn. Okay, mom." Yan Rumei just assented.
In all honesty, Yan Rumei doesn't have any reason to stay here in City D. It's just that she is reluctant to join the high society.
If she goes with them to City A, she would be kind of somehow forced to go public as the new daughter of the Gu family and even socialize with rich kids. She didn't want that. Who knows if some of them would bully her, a girl from the low-ranked City H?
She just wants a quiet, retired life.
Well… before that, maybe open a small but profitable business so she can have money to spend for herself. She has always believed that if you want to live a life with less worries about money, you have to open your own business.
That was actually her next plan after she buys a house for herself and her mom, before after all this happened.
Surely though, she can't tell her parents what she is currently planning to do here in City D. If she did, they might just give her the best and unlimited resources like money, great staff, good location, etc., and that would just defeat the purpose of her doing it with her own skills.
She wanted to be the one to find all of these. Well… maybe she needs a little financing or a loan, but she would just worry about that later by using Assistant Li to the fullest.
After about an hour, Gu Feng left the mother and daughter pair. He has some things he needs to do for the company, so he proceeded to their room to work.
Assistant Xiong followed him out.
When they reached the corridor and Assistant Xiong closed Yan Rumei's private room door, they were greeted by Doctor Tan. She stood up and bowed to Gu Feng.
"Doctor Tan, please take care of my daughter, not only while she's here at your hospital but also check on her from time to time." Gu Feng instructed the female doctor.
"Of course, this request from me is not free. I heard that you are very focused on your research and need some funding, if you need any help on that matter, you can tell my daughter or her assistant. If you have something important to report, you can call my assistant here." After he finished, Assistant Xiong handed Doctor Tan his business card.
She reached out to receive the business card and replied, "Understood. Thank you, CEO Gu."
After that Gu Feng and Assistant Xiong entered the next VIP room.
As soon as they're out of sight, Doctor Tan cheered quietly in excitement.
[Yaaaaaaaas! Yeah, baby yeah!!!]
This surprised the other bodyguards that are still out in the corridor. They looked at her and slowly and awkwardly moved their head away pretending that they did not see her act like that.
