Gu Lanshan answered the phone, and through the line, a trace of oppression could still vaguely be heard, "Lanshan, do you have time now? I'd like to meet you for a chat."
...
After Gu Lanshan had hung up the phone, she thought that what was meant to come had come back. Her heart was tumultuous for quite a while before she got up from the bed. She took a bath, chose a simple and elegant dress to wear, then applied a very light nude makeup in front of the mirror before taking her car keys and heading downstairs.
Since Gu Lanshan had returned home after her suicide attempt, she rarely went out except for work.
It seemed as if she had disconnected from the outside world; going to work punctually in the morning and returning right after work in the evening. Now, this rare outing truly delighted the housekeeper.
Gu Lanshan was joyfully seen off by the housekeeper, then skillfully turned the steering wheel and drove the car to a teahouse that had been arranged beforehand.
