At 5 p.m., after the Huazhong news conference, Jiang Lin received phone calls of greetings from all sides. He was acutely aware whether they were cordial or preparing to play both sides of the fence.
In Gu Mansion, Jiang Muwan sat in the study, watching the news, leaning back into her chair until the last light of the sunset spilled onto the desk, capturing her gaze.
Only then did she realize that this day still had some light left.
From dawn until now, her full attention had been on how to deal with the Jiang Family. In a fleeting moment, a whole day had gone by.
She rose to her feet, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked down at the backyard lawn, thinking back to the day she first came to Gu Mansion. Gu Jiangnian had arrived back from exercise and bent down to pick up a dirty white cat.
With a smile, she let out a shallow laugh.
Feeling that life hadn't abandoned her.
