Gu Zi hadn't intended to come across as so indifferent, but honestly, Huang Fei had brought this upon herself. There was no room for sympathy—only a mild sense of surprise.
Even after paying restitution, Huang Fei was still sentenced to a month in prison. And what was even more intriguing was that Xu Fan hadn't gone all out to get his woman off the hook. So much for undying devotion.
Xu Fan, however, remained silent, unwilling to dwell on the matter. He had already made up his mind to abandon Huang Fei, and that was all that mattered. Without another word, he summoned Xu Sheng, and the father and son took their leave, slipping out as swiftly as they had arrived.
Meanwhile, back at the Gu household, Lin Miao had fallen ill—again. The last time, she had fainted right outside a restaurant upon hearing that Gu Zi had not only aced the exams but had ranked as the province's top scorer. It had taken her weeks in the hospital to recover from the humiliation.
