novelUnderstand the situation

Seeing Mr. Xu's unfocused smile, Jian Xin didn't say anything else. She covered up the vicious gaze she revealed just now, and her eyes once again became deathly silent.
She was too naive and foolish. After experiencing so many things, she actually thought that someone would help her. She even thought of relying on a man to accomplish what she wanted to do.
She and this Xu surnamed person were just using each other's strengths. It could be said that she didn't have the slightest bit of feelings for them.
Now that she had given him the things that the Gu's should have given him, she was already of no use to him.
He would be here today, probably to watch a good show, to see how deeply wounded she was, to see if she could live.
If she did not recover, it was probably because he wanted to see the final result, because that way he could swallow up the twenty percent that belonged to her.
"You're not talking? You want to stop this idea? " Mr. Xu put his hands in his pockets and asked slowly.
"Since you're so free, then I'll have to trouble you to send me home." Jian Ran retracted her gaze and returned to her cold expression.
Mr. Xu chuckled, "Go home? Which family? "
Jian Xin got off the bed and looked up at him again."What do you mean?"
Mr. Xu took two steps back as he carefully observed Jian Xin. Then, he slowly said, "Miss Jian, you may not know this, but in the half month that you were in the hospital, there was a tremendous change happening outside."
"What change?" Jian Xin asked hastily.
The cold expression that she deliberately made was also seen by the Mr. Xu at this moment. In truth, she still cared about that cold expression, which was not as cold as when she saw it.
He added, "The Gu family has already been seized and sealed. Several core leaders of the Gu's have already been captured. As for your father, he's ru ing really fast. I don't even know where he's gone. Even the police can't find him."
"Haha??" Jian Xin sneered coldly. Gu Nanjing, that beast of a backer had fallen. It was a great pleasure to see him do so.
However, it was her regret that she did not personally witness the Gu family being investigated, nor Gu Nanjing's miserable state.
Mr. Xu continued: "No matter what, I promised to marry you. You have no place to stay, so I can bring you back to my place."
Jian Xin retorted, "The Jane family was also sealed?"
Mr. Xu said: "That's not true, maybe it's because we haven't found any evidence of Jian Zhengtian's real involvement in the crime. But he had a guilty conscience and ran first. Isn't that the same as having three hundred taels of silver in this place?
"Since the Jane family is still here, there is no need for me to go back with you. If Mr. Xu is really that free, then please send me back to the Ji Family." Jian Xin stood up and walked out after saying that.
Looking at her back figure, Mr. Xu's eyes flashed with a cold light.
This seemingly weak woman's heart was far more powerful than her appearance. She had experienced so many things, yet her face was also ruined like this. She was still able to remain so calm.
It seemed that he definitely could not underestimate her, and he absolutely could not show mercy to her. He absolutely could not leave behind any worries for the future.
Thinking to this, the Mr. Xu quickly followed, and very politely supported Jian Xin as he said, "You have been lying on the sickbed for so long, don't walk too fast. If you faint, you will have to continue being in the hospital."
Jian Xin shook off his hand and said coldly, "You and I both know what we want. Don't f * cking pretend to be me."
"I just want to be a little more refined. I have no ill intentions towards the Miss Jian." He laughed.
"I don't need it." Jian Xin ignored him and walked outside with big strides.
Mr. Xu personally drove Jian Xin back to the Jin family. When she got off the car, he called her back, "Miss Jian, I still have some things for you."
Jian Xin stopped in her tracks and turned around."What is it?"
"I was worried you wouldn't sleep well, so I got you a bottle of sleeping pills." Mr. Xu took out an unmarked white bottle and waved it outside the window.
Jian Xin raised her eyebrows and said, "If it's the fall of Gu's, I won't even have the time to be happy. How can I not be able to sleep?"
"Miss Jian really doesn't need it?" The Mr. Xu laughed and said, "There are enough pills here for one person to sleep to death and never wake up. I gave you so much at once just to get a good night's sleep, don't eat it all at once, don't make me bear the responsibility of killing people."
Killing!
Suddenly hearing this word, Jian Xin's eyes lit up. She reached out to receive the bottle and said, "Then, I'll thank Mr. Xu for your concern."
Mr. Xu continued, "You and I will be husband and wife sooner or later, there's no need to be courteous to me."
With that, he waved to Jian Xin before starting the car and leaving in a cloud of dust.
Jian Xin saw the Mr. Xu's car drive off into the distance before she turned back to return home.
When they returned home, Jian Xin found out that there was nothing left in the house but empty shell. All the valuables were sold by Jian Zhengtian and the last servant also left.
It seemed that Jian Zhengtian knew that the Gu's would fall, and he was already prepared to run away.
She returned to her room, which was a mess with dried blood on the floor, proving that no one had cleaned it up since she had left for the hospital.
She sat down at the dressing table and studied herself in the mirror again.
Her face had once been so beautiful that she had thought she would never lose to Jian Ran.
The scars on its face had long since changed. They looked like small worms, which made it look extremely disgusting.
"Ah??" She clutched her head and screamed hysterically.
After venting for a while, she gradually regained her composure.
She stretched out her finger and gently caressed every single wound. The hatred in her eyes deepened with each caress.
Gu Nanjing, Jian Zhengtian, Jian Ran??
The reason why she had such a day was all because of these people.
If it wasn't for the existence of that bastard Jian Ran, Gu Nanjing wouldn't have compared her to Jian Ran, which made it even more impossible for him to do such a thing to her.
At the thought of this, her hand that was stroking the scar immediately stopped, and she turned her head to look at the window.
The weather in the capital had always been like this. It was almost the fifteenth day of the first month, and the weather was still as cold as ever. It seemed like a new round of heavy snow was about to begin.
The snow would melt after it had fallen, melt after it had melted, and everything would begin anew.
As for her, she wanted to start her life anew.
She took out her phone and looked up news about the Gu's. As expected, there were a lot of them, and the most obvious one was the investigation of commercial crimes in the Gu's.
As for that Gu Nanjing, there was no news about him, which meant that he was still fine. He was not involved in the crime case of Gu's at all.
If he wasn't involved, couldn't they do something to him?
Jian Xin retracted her gaze and looked at herself in the mirror again. She smiled and said, "Gu Nanjing, you won't let me have a good time. How can I let you feel at ease?"
