A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 755 Jinbao's Accident

Since moving to the Shen Mansion, Gui'er has never encountered the oppression she faced in the Sha Mansion, nor has she been involved in the disputes with Jinbao. Her life can be said to be peaceful and harmonious.

Moreover, Gui'er, Miss Shen and Xu Wenjie are colleagues with similar ideals. The three of them can talk without scruples about the future of the country, the development of the party and other topics that cannot be discussed outside.

Miss Shen and Xu Wenjie are both highly educated talents. Naturally, they take care of Guier's studies. They take turns to give her extra lessons and special treatment. Guier's grades were already very good, and now they have made great progress and are always among the top three in the grade.

Another thing that Guier was very satisfied with was that at Miss Shen's house, Guier could call Song Xichen and Sha Yanxiao without any scruples.

Sha Yanxiao was very surprised to learn that Gui'er had moved to the Shen Mansion again. He then bought a lot of gifts and sent them over, some for Gui'er and some for the people in the Shen Mansion. He was very thoughtful and gave everyone something.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Shen both praised her highly, saying, "No wonder Gui'er is so lovable. It turns out that her brother is also a very respectable person."

At first, Sha Yanyao would come over to see how Gui'er was doing. But then he suddenly stopped coming and started picking her up at the school gate after school. After chatting for a while, Gui'er smiled and said, "Brother, is it because my sister-in-law doesn't allow you to go to Miss Shen's place anymore?"

Sha Yanyao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "That person just likes to fantasize. Oh, and the result of the previous case with Zhang has come out. He was found to be a traitor. Most of his property has been confiscated, and he will be sentenced. As soon as his two concubines heard the news, they said they ran away with the money. Although the main wife didn't run away, it's probably because they had nowhere else to go. They are living on the little property under their name. They shouldn't cause any big trouble in the future. So you don't have to be afraid. Come with me to visit Jinbao occasionally."

Having psychological trauma was also an excuse, so Guier readily agreed.

That day, Sha Yanyao drove to the school gate after work to pick up Guier, saying he was going to see Jinbao. He said to Guier, "I told your sister-in-law that it was you who wanted to see Jinbao. Don't let it slip later."

Guier agreed with a smile.

The car arrived at the apartment building where Jinbao lived. Sha Yanyao parked the car and Guier got out first. She found some things that Sha Yanyao bought for Jinbao on the back seat of the car, big and small boxes, which looked quite expensive, so she helped carry them.

The two were about to go upstairs happily when the manager of the foreign company on the second floor saw them and greeted them with a smile: "You are here." His tone was full of respect and flattery, completely different from his previous look of watching gossip.

Perhaps hearing the noise, the servant on the third floor notified Jinbao. When they were halfway there, Jinbao opened the door to greet them, and said with a smile, "Honey, you're here?" Then he opened his arms and came forward to give Sha Yanyao a hug.

Gui'er has long been accustomed to seeing this and is not surprised by it.

Suddenly, Jinbao stumbled and fell down.

Sha Yanyao and Guier were both shocked. Guier threw away the boxes of gifts in her hands and reached out to take them. Sha Yanyao was so scared that his face turned pale and he hurried forward to take them.

Finally catching it, Guier asked, "How is it? Are you okay?"

Jinbao shook her head in shock. Only then did Guier notice that Jinbao was wearing the low-heeled lambskin shoes imported from France that Sha Yanyao had bought for her. The reason she fell was because the heel of the lambskin shoes had fallen off.

Sha Yanyao carried Jin back into the house, and Guier followed behind, picking up the broken shoe she had left on the stairs.

Before entering the door, she subconsciously looked at the heel and found that there was a knife mark on the corner of the heel.

She was shocked.

At this time, the servants in the house heard the noise and ran out to see what was happening. Gui'er pretended not to notice and casually threw the shoes behind the door and said, "They are imported items, so the quality is not very good. Fortunately, there is nothing serious."

Jin Bao didn't care at all and just acted coquettishly with Sha Yanyao: "Honey, I was really scared just now. No, you must give me a gift to calm me down."

Sha Yanyao smiled and soothed him, "It's okay, as long as you and the child are fine."

Gui'er said, "Are you really okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Jinbao said, "Don't worry, I'm in good health."

Gui'er didn't know what to say. She remained calm and secretly observed the expressions of the servants in the room, but didn't find any clues.

Although Jinbao repeatedly asked him to stay, Sha Yanyao still sat for a while and left with Guier.

Gui'er waited until she got in the car, closed the door, and drove away for a distance before she said to Sha Yanyao, "Brother, I don't know if I'm being too suspicious, but I just found Jinbao's shoes and found that her heels were off."

Sha Yanyao frowned and said, "She just loves to look pretty. She's still wearing high-heeled shoes when she's pregnant. I'll just let her wear flat cloth shoes later."

"But I just noticed there seems to be a knife mark where the heel is broken."

Sha Yanyao's expression turned ugly when he heard this: "Do you suspect someone cut off the heel of your shoe?"

Guier said cautiously, "I'm not sure if I saw it wrong, but the rest of the surface is rough, and only a small spot at the corner has any signs of cutting."

Sha Yanyao pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. Let me handle this matter. You don't have to tell anyone else, including your sister Jinbao. Do you understand?"

Guier knew this matter was very serious. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

After returning to the Shen Mansion, she still felt uneasy after thinking about it. After all, trying to murder a pregnant woman was too vicious.

Miss Shen noticed that she was uneasy and asked, "Guier, what's wrong with you? You went to Jinbao's place with your brother today, and you didn't look quite right when you came back. Did you give me a cold shoulder?"

Gui'er sighed and told Miss Shen what had happened. She said, "Don't you think I'm being too suspicious? If I tell my eldest brother about this, and he starts a fight with my eldest sister-in-law, I don't know how it will end."

This time, Miss Shen did not persuade her gently as usual, but said lightly: "Oh, is that so."

Guier sensed something was wrong and asked her, "Sister Fengshu, what's wrong? You seem absent-minded."

Miss Shen looked at her and hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Alas, Gui'er, I didn't want to tell you so as not to worry you, but recently many of our comrades have been secretly arrested without any evidence. Today, Wenjie suddenly lost contact with a comrade from a base we had contact with before. We are afraid that something might have happened, and he has already tried to find a way to investigate."
