Chapter 37 She saved my life

"Gu Xingnian!"

Fu Beichen's pupils suddenly contracted!

The marriage certificate, Jiang Kexin, and all anger were instantly forgotten.

Without a second thought, he quickly took off his bespoke suit jacket, wrapped it tightly around her limp body, and then picked her up in his arms.

The person in my arms was light and weightless, with only an astonishing heat emanating from through the thin fabric.

He carried her and strode downstairs.

As soon as I arrived in the lobby downstairs, I was surrounded by a throng of media waiting for me.

The flashes were so bright they made it hard to open your eyes.

"Mr. Fu, is the woman in your arms Mrs. Fu?"

Is the information about marriage certificates circulating online true?

"Mr. Fu, is your relationship with Ms. Jiang Kexin... just a publicity stunt?"

A flood of problems came one after another.

Fu Beichen's face was ashen. He used his suit jacket to cover Gu Xingnian's face tightly, preventing the camera from capturing her.

He exuded a low-pressure aura that kept strangers at bay, and his cold gaze swept over the crowd.

Four bodyguards quickly stepped forward, forcibly blocking the reporters who were pushing their way forward, and clearing a path.

Fu Beichen carried Gu Xingnian and quickly got into the car that was already waiting outside.

The car door slammed shut, shutting out the noise from outside.

Inside the car, Gu Xingnian lay in his arms with her eyes closed, her face as pale as paper, her lips bloodless, only her forehead and cheeks still bearing an abnormal blush.

Fu Beichen looked down at her vulnerable appearance, his heart filled with worry, and his previous anger vanished without a trace.

He recalled her words before she fainted.

What did she mean by 12 years?

They had only met for the first time before their marriage!

He reached out and felt the temperature of her forehead; it was alarmingly hot.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he gave the driver a deep command:

"Drive faster!"

...

When the car arrived at the Central Hospital, Fu Beichen carried her out.

The driver quickly called Lin Qi and instructed the bodyguards to guard the hospital entrance.

Upon arriving at the emergency room, four doctors hurriedly took her temperature and drew blood for testing.

"Why did you come to the hospital so late? Your fever has reached 41.2 degrees Celsius. We need to bring your temperature down quickly."

Fu Beichen stood guard by his side, not daring to leave for a moment.

She can only be admitted to the ward after her condition stabilizes and the procedures are completed.

For the first time, Fu Beichen signed his name in the family member section, and his eyes reddened when he saw the word "spouse".

Before long, Gu Xingnian was taken to the top-tier VIP suite, where he sat by the bed and watched over her.

Watching the IV drip slowly being administered into her body, he felt a pang of sadness.

She moved slightly and murmured:

"Little brother... don't go, don't go!"

"Hey bro, when are you coming back?"

She seems to be dreaming. Who is the "little brother" she's talking about?

Could it be Lu Lie?

He bent down and gently took her hand in his, while his other hand lightly stroked her hair, softly calling, "Gu Xingnian!"

She frowned slightly, and a string of tears suddenly slid down her cheeks.

It scalded Fu Beichen's heart.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Qi walked in, carrying an elegant lunch bag.

"Mr. Fu, the old man has arrived at the company and is waiting for you."

Fu Beichen's icy expression returned. "You stay here and take care of her. Let me know when she wakes up."

He took a couple of steps, then suddenly turned back. "Have someone investigate her childhood, down to the smallest detail. I need to know everything."

"OK!"

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief as the door closed.

It's rare that he's started paying attention to his wife.

Could there be a turning point in their relationship?

That Jiang Kexin is still bouncing around there, it's giving me a headache!

However, the wife's trump card was truly brilliant: she threw a bright red marriage certificate at them.

This shut up those brainless fans, and Jiang Kexin was finally slapped in the face.

Although the Fu family is also in crisis, President Fu certainly won't protect her first.

......

Around noon, Fu Beichen returned to the company.

The atmosphere in the top-floor office of the Fu Group was so heavy it could be squeezed out of you.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the city remains bustling, but inside the office, the air is icy cold.

"The stock price plummeted to its daily limit! A full 10 billion yuan! Tell me, how are we going to clean this up?"

Grandpa Fu's cane struck the expensive floorboards heavily, producing a dull thud that sent shivers down one's spine.

His chest heaved violently, and his withered fingers pointed at the glaring stock market chart on the table.

Fu Beichen stood by the window, his back straight, yet exuding an indescribable desolation.

He didn't turn around, but just looked at the bustling traffic outside the window.

"Hold a press conference immediately." The old man's voice was hoarse, carrying an unquestionable command. "Announce Niannian's identity. She is the eldest grandson's wife of the Fu family. This news is enough to bring the stock price back up!"

Fu Beichen turned around abruptly, his handsome face expressionless, with only a barely perceptible struggle deep in his eyes.

“Grandpa, that’s too cruel to Kexin. If I really do that, it will only make things worse for her.”

His voice was low and weary.

"Cruel?" the old man sneered, tapping his cane on the ground again.

"Compared to the Fu family's losses of tens of billions, and to the Fu family's reputation over the years, what is a woman's reputation?"

"You forgot, when you were in a car accident and went blind, she ran away to a foreign country. A woman like that is destined not to be worthy of entering our Fu family."

"This has nothing to do with her. I've been indulging her all along, and I also want to... give her a proper status!"

Fu Beichen raised his voice, and a vein throbbed slightly on his forehead.

"Unrelated? What are they saying about her now? They're calling her a mistress! They're saying our Fu family is corrupt and filthy! And you still want to... give her a proper status?"

The old man was so angry that his beard stood on end. "What kind of bewitching potion did she give you? How could you be so... unable to resist? You unfilial son!"

He just couldn't understand why he didn't cherish such a good wife as Nian Nian.

In the past, he could keep one eye open and the other closed.

However, now that he was in deep trouble, he could no longer stand idly by.

"Grandpa, she saved my life! I can't..."

Fu Beichen finally blurted out the words he had kept hidden in his heart for a long time.

Fu Shihong: "..."

He composed himself, remained silent for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke.

"What exactly happened?"

Fu Beichen lit a cigarette, his mind replaying that memory.

Four years ago, he received his degree ahead of schedule. When he was about to return to China, his classmates prepared a farewell banquet for him.

The weather was great that day, and a dozen or so close classmates boarded a yacht and went out to sea.

Everything was going smoothly until, on their way back, dark clouds suddenly gathered and a strong wind picked up.

The waves at sea were rough, and it started to rain. The students all went into the cabin, and Fu Beichen was also about to go in.

Suddenly, he was touched by something, and then his body went numb. He fell straight into the sea.

At that time, it started raining heavily, and the students were only looking out for the rain, so they didn't notice that one person was missing.

He struggled helplessly in the sea, then sank deeper and deeper.

He felt that suffocating, deathly sensation, the cold, the despair, the fear... and the light was getting weaker and weaker.

Just as he closed his eyes, he saw the figure of a girl swimming towards him with all her might...

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Jiang Kexin's beautiful face.

She was soaked to the bone, and water droplets from her hair dripped onto his face!

That day, there were two other yachts nearby, and he was rescued and taken to Jiang Kexin's boat.

After hearing his story, Fu Shihong was still somewhat shaken.

If it weren't for Jiang Kexin, he might have lost his only grandson.
