Nie Qinru did not fall asleep. After Lin Xiaoya left, she sat up from the bed and hugged her knees in a daze.

Lin Xiaoya asked her if her illness was because of Han Qi, and she denied it. But she knew in her heart that this was one of the reasons.

Because of Han Qi's appearance, the strong barrier she had built in her heart collapsed. It turned out that she was still willing to accept the truth that Gu Shenyan was dead, so she kept looking for the shadow from Han Qi.

Heart ailments still require heart medicine, but there is no cure for her heart ailments. Unless Gu Shenyan appears in front of her alive, she will look for his shadow as if she has been possessed by a demon.

When the phone rang, Nie Qinru came to her senses and was surprised to find that her face was covered with tears.

Whenever she thought of Gu Shenyan, she couldn't control her tears.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, cleared her throat, and then pressed the button to answer, "Mom."

"Nanny, you and Shenyan bring your brothers and sisters over to reunite with us. It's the Chinese New Year, so at least we can meet as a family."

Yang Limei's smiling voice sounded, "The day after tomorrow happens to be your dad's birthday. If you leave tomorrow, you can make it in time."

"I……"

Nie Qinru couldn't help but want to cry again. She pursed her lips and waited until she calmed down before saying, "Mom, we can't go. Shenyan is still working on an important project abroad and won't be able to come back during the New Year."

.You need to say sorry to dad."

"That's it, then you can come here with your two children."

Yang Limei didn't think much about it, but Nie Qinru still refused, "Mom, I have some things to do, and I can't leave. Let's wait and see next spring."

"Otherwise, your father and I will take our two children back to the city and have a family reunion."

Yang Limei smiled and said, "The little brothers and sisters haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."

"Mom, it's better not to give up. They are still young, so don't go back and forth."

Nie Qinru pursed her lips and advised Yang Limei, "I will take the children over to meet you during the summer vacation."

She could only delay, as long as she could, for a day. If Yang Limei knew about Gu Shenyan, she would definitely be worried about her.

"Okay."

Yang Limei no longer dwelled on the matter, "I'll start the video and you can meet the children."

"Mom, I still have a mask on my face, don't scare them."

Nie Qinru knew that her face must be ugly now. If Yang Limei saw it, she would definitely ask questions, and most likely just buy a ticket and fly back.

"Then after you finish applying the mask, you can send the video over."

Yang Limei did not raise any suspicion, "I'm going to work, waiting for you."

After hanging up the phone, Nie Qinru bit her lip and cried silently. Gu Shenyan was not here, all the pressure was on her, and she couldn't tell anyone yet.

Whether it's Gu family or her own parents, she can't show her sadness and pain just to reassure them.

She made it so hard for herself, really afraid that one day she wouldn't be able to hold on anymore and would explode.

…

The Spring Festival holiday was over in a flash, and Nie Qinru's illness was almost healed, except for the occasional cough. But she knew that the depression in her heart was getting worse.

"Qinru, you'd better rest for a few more days and let Zhiyuan handle the company's affairs."

The old lady was worried that Nie Qinru's health would not be able to bear it, "As a woman, it is difficult for you to take on such a large group."

"Grandma, I'm fine."

Nie Qinru put down the spoon in her hand, "Today I am going to the company to give out red envelopes to the employees. How can I not go?"

"Then if you feel uncomfortable, come back and rest."

The old lady felt sorry for Nie Qinru, "You can't make enough money. There is no need to ruin your body just to make money."

"I see."

Nie Qinru stood up and said, "Grandma, I'm going to the company."

She is wearing a decent business attire. From today on, she must be the strong woman who takes charge of herself.

As for Han Qi, he was just a sideshow, and she had to forget about him completely.

The person she loves is Gu Shenyan, and even if Han Qi is very similar to him, she cannot deviate from her feelings. A substitute is a substitute, and it is never real.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the Gu Group. As soon as Nie Qinru got out of the car, a group of media people with cameras and microphones surrounded them with a 'clatter'.

"Mrs. Gu, there are rumors that Mr. Gu is dead. What explanation do you have for this?"

A woman asked a pointed question, and Nie Qinru was stunned. She couldn't figure out how the news leaked out for a moment.

"Mrs. Gu, you were afraid that Gu Group's stock price would fall, so you deliberately concealed the news of Mr. Gu's death, right?"

"Mrs. Gu, if Mr. Gu dies, will the situation of the Gu Group change?"

Sharp questions came one after another. Nie Qinru felt her ears buzzing. She could only see those people's mouths opening and closing. As for what was said, she heard nothing.

"Everyone, please give way."

You Zhiyuan arrived and rushed into the crowd to protect Nie Qinru, "Sorry, what do you want to know? Gu will hold a press conference to give a formal answer."

"You can explain it clearly in front of us now."

The media people present refused to let Nie Qinru go. They also knew that You Zhiyuan's so-called press conference was just an excuse.

Nie Qinru's face softened slightly, she looked at the media people in front of her and said in a strong tone, "Don't make baseless lies, I will hold you accountable."

"Mrs. Gu, there are comments on the Internet that President Gu died unexpectedly. If you want to pursue accountability, you must first pursue the comments on the Internet. We are just here to verify the truth of the matter."

"Yes, we have the right to tell the public the truth and give investors an explanation."

"Yes, if we dare to come today, we won't be afraid of you holding us accountable."

Several media people spoke sharply and seemed to refuse to give up until they achieved their goals. They knew this breaking news, and what they wanted most was to get first-hand information.

Nie Qinru looked at them with a cold expression, "I will only say this once, Gu Shenyan is still alive and well, please don't make random guesses."

Someone asked, "Where is he now?"

"He is focusing on a big project abroad and will not come back in the short term."

Of course Nie Qinru knew that some people on the board of directors were eyeing Gu. Ever since Gu Nansheng suddenly took over the position of chairman again, someone had been preparing to make a move.

If the news of Gu Shenyan's death is acknowledged at this juncture, and those who are interested in the board of directors unite to force him to die, things may really change for the Gu Group.

She would never allow Gu Shenyan's hard work to be ruined, so she could only grit her teeth and deny the news of his death. As for what would happen in the future, she really couldn't predict.
