Su Huan did indeed slap Chu Suosuo yesterday, but only on one side of her face, and it wasn't as swollen as this. Obviously, someone else had given her a follow-up hit. Su Huan found Gu Nanyin's number and dialed it, asking, "Nanyin, what happened to Chu Suosuo's face?" Gu Nanyin burst into laughter, laughing for quite a while before stopping and saying, "Last night she went to the bar to drink, drank until midnight, and on her way home, she was stopped by someone, pulled out of the car, and knocked unconscious, her face beaten to a pulp. She had a bodyguard with her, and that bodyguard was also knocked out. I can't help it anymore, let me laugh for a while longer, hahaha." After waiting for her to finish laughing, Su Huan asked, "Did you call the police?" "Yes, the police checked the surveillance, but the cameras on that section of the road were broken, so the case couldn't be solved." Su Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter who beat Chu Suosuo, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. She paused for a moment, then asked, "Did you go to see her?" Actually, she wanted to ask if Gu Beixian had gone to see her. Some things are almost subconscious and completely uncontrollable. Gu Nanyin seemed to guess her thoughts and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my brother didn't go. He had something urgent yesterday afternoon and took a plane away. My dad and I went to see her. Chu Suosuo cried so miserably, she deserved it!" After chatting with Gu Nanyin for a while longer, Su Huan hung up the phone. After washing up, she came to the living room. Breakfast was laid out on the dining table, and Su Peilan had gone to the hospital. The household registration book was placed next to the breakfast, with a note on top. Su Huan picked it up and looked at it. The note read: "Daughter, I've found the household registration book for you, happy divorce! The sooner you divorce, the sooner you're free from the sea of suffering! In a few days, mom will arrange blind dates for you! Two a day, one in the morning, one in the evening!"

Annoy Gu Beixian to death! Annoy that old bastard Gu Aoting! Su Huan couldn't help but chuckle, but as she laughed, she felt sad again. She felt that after the divorce, it might take her a long time to accept another man. After breakfast, Su Huan put her household registration book and ID card into her bag, having agreed to go through the divorce with Gu Beixian today. Suddenly, her phone rang; it was Gu Beixian calling. His voice sounded a bit distant as he said, "There was an incident at the overseas branch yesterday afternoon, and I came over to handle it. Let's talk about the divorce when I get back." Su Huan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but soon her spirits fell again, and she asked, "How long will it take for you to come back?" "Shortest is a week, longest is half a month." Su Huan paused, then said, "Then I'll wait for you to come back." "Okay." Just as she was about to hang up, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Chu Suosuo's face was beaten last night, it wasn't me who had someone do it." Gu Beixian's tone was calm as he said, "I know." Su Huan was slightly surprised, "You know?" "Yes, it should be the same person who smashed her left hand last time." "Who?" "A Yao." Those two short words suddenly pierced Su Huan's heart. Her emotions suddenly became intense, and almost instinctively, she shouted, "It wasn't him!" Her usually gentle voice became sharp and brittle, even to herself it felt strange. After a pause, she softened her voice and said, "It wasn't him, he passed away a long time ago, in a fire. Last time at my grandfather's house, I took you to see his grave, do you remember?"

Gu Beixian didn't say anything, just uttered a faint 'hmm'. Su Huan felt that he still wouldn't believe her words, and the 'hmm' he responded with seemed perfunctory, just trying to make her shut up. However, she didn't want to argue anymore. Calming her emotions, she said, 'Give me a call when you get back to the country.' 'Okay.' A week later. A young girl named Shen Yuan came knocking on the door, and as soon as she entered, she called out, 'Senior sister, hello, my name is Shen Yuan, Shen Huai is my brother.' Su Huan had already received a call from Shen Huai in advance and let her in. She asked her to sit down and served her some tea. Shen Yuan introduced herself, 'I also studied archaeology at Kyoto University, but only for half a year before going abroad as an exchange student to study international archaeology. I just graduated this year and now work at the city museum. I've long heard of senior sister's great reputation; you were quite a figure back in our school.' Su Huan smiled, 'You don't need to call me senior sister, just call me by my name. I started school early and skipped a grade in elementary school. Although I graduated early, I might actually be younger than you.' After comparing their birth dates, they found out they were born on the same year, month, and day. Su Huan was a few hours younger than Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan's visit was to invite Su Huan on behalf of the museum to participate in the restoration of an ancient painting. It was only when Su Huan followed her to the city museum that she learned the painting to be restored was a 'reclusive' painting by Wang Meng, one of the 'Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty'. This painting was the one that the tall, thin man and the bald man had kidnapped her to restore two or three months ago. At that time, the painting had only been unveiled and not yet restored when the case was solved. Su Huan wondered, 'How come this painting hasn't been restored after such a long time?'

Shen Yuan let out a sigh, 'Stolen goods have to go through procedures, and after they are handed over to the national treasury, they are distributed to museums. Once in the museum, experts need to authenticate and study them, and then restoration experts will produce a restoration plan. This process takes two or three months. We asked you to come this time to participate in the restoration together with other restoration experts, because it was you who unveiled the painting. Of course, this is also my brother's intention.' Su Huan understood that Shen Huai was doing this for her own good. The work of civilians, no matter how well done, always has a bit of a backdoor flavor. Official work seems more formal. Having her participate in this restoration could add a layer of gold plating, although she didn't really need it. Upon arriving at the Cultural Relics Protection Department. As soon as Su Huan entered the restoration room, she saw a dense group of experts sitting inside. The youngest among them were also in their forties or fifties, with the majority being white-haired, all elite talents invited from all over the country. Su Huan was the youngest. But because she was the granddaughter of Su Wenmai and had a bit of a reputation in the industry, no one dared to look down on her. She discussed restoration plans with those experts for a whole morning. When it was time for lunch, Su Huan didn't really want to eat at the same table with a room full of old men, so she left. Coming out, Shen Yuan was already waiting for her at the door, smiling and saying, 'Our curator asked me to entertain you separately.'

Both were majoring in archaeology, shared a common language, and were roughly the same age, so they quickly became acquainted. Of course, the main reason was that Shen Yuan had a lively personality and was easy to get along with. As they walked, Su Huan received a WeChat message from Shen Huai, asking about the situation today. Su Huan replied to him while walking. Suddenly, Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, and she covered her mouth with a gasp of surprise: 'Wow, a handsome guy! Our curator is accompanying a super handsome guy, coming this way. Oh my goodness, he's so handsome!' She fumbled to touch her face, straightened her hair, adjusted her clothes, and elbowed Su Huan, 'Quick, help me check, is my makeup smudged? Are my hair and clothes okay?' Su Huan was bowing her head to send a message, and when she heard this, she glanced up at her and said, 'They're fine.' Shen Yuan's face turned red, 'That handsome guy looked over here, and he even smiled at me, do you think he's interested in me?' Su Huan followed her gaze. The man was indeed handsome. Young, handsome, tall and upright, with cold white skin, noble and three-dimensional facial bones, and facial features as delicate as sculpture. Dressed in a dark suit, he was elegant and had an extraordinary aura. But this handsome guy was her husband, Gu Beixian, from whom she was about to divorce. His gaze was clearly directed at herself, not Shen Yuan. Maybe women like to be delusional, Su Huan thought. Their eyes met, and Gu Beixian smiled slightly, nodded to her, exchanged a few words with the curator, and then strode towards them. Shen Yuan stopped in her tracks, vigorously wiping her clothes. Su Huan also stopped, looking at her with slight confusion, 'Why did you stop walking?'

Shen Yuan's eyes were fixed, staring intently at Gu Beixian, so excited that she couldn't even respond to Su Huan's words. When Gu Beixian approached them. Shen Yuan hurriedly reached out her hand, enthusiastically saying, 'Handsome guy, hello, my name is Shen Yuan, Yuan means eagle. Nice to meet you, what should I call you?' Gu Beixian didn't reach out to shake hands, just glanced at her indifferently and said, 'I'm looking for Su Huan.' Shen Yuan quickly linked arms with Su Huan, smiling sweetly and said, 'She's my good friend, we were born on the same year, same month, same day, it's the same whether you're looking for her or me.' Su Huan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She hadn't expected Shen Yuan's personality to be so amusing. Gu Beixian obviously had no patience to entangle with her, he directly raised his hand, placed it on Su Huan's shoulder, pulled her into his embrace, and said, 'Lunch together at noon?' 'Okay,' Su Huan replied. Shen Yuan was dumbfounded, 'Su Huan, do you know this handsome guy? Who is he to you? Why is he hugging you?' Su Huan smiled, 'I know him, we're somewhat related.' Husband and wife, the closest and most distant of relations, when close, they share an intimate bond, when distant, they are strangers. Hearing they were somewhat related, Shen Yuan thought they were relatives, her eyes began to shine again, just about to speak. Gu Beixian's patience had completely vanished, he directly hugged Su Huan and strode away. Shen Yuan was in chaos.
