Gu Jinyu felt as though she had gone from heaven to hell overnight. Overwhelm, fear, sadness, and the anguish of losing her parents intermingled at the bottom of her heart, like a gigantic net ensnaring her entire being. "Your mother wants to find a time to arrange a meeting between you and the Gu Family…"
Yao had said much more, but Gu Jinyu did not hear a word of it.
Yao gently took her hand, urging her to rest well.
That night, as Gu Jinyu lay in her luxuriously plush bed, she tasted insomnia for the first time.
A great wind began to shake the leaves outside, causing them to whirr loudly.
Gu Jinyu lifted the blanket and left her bed, opening the door to a fierce gust of wind pulling at her robes and hair.
"Ah! Miss, why are you outside? The wind is so strong! You might catch a cold!"
The night maid quickly approached, intending to usher Gu Jinyu back inside.
With a glacial demeanor, Gu Jinyu said, "I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to take a walk."
