Ji Shuyu had been absent-minded because of the "䭹开" incident. She was distracted when she was helping her grandmother pack her things and prepare for hospitalization.

"Xiaoyu, what are you thinking about!"

"Ah?" Ji Shuyu was stunned. "It's okay, Grandma."

"Then tell Xiuyuan that I want to drink milk tea." The old lady dressed neatly and waited for her children and grandchildren to pick her up.

"Grandma~" Ji Shuyu was helpless, but still sent a message to Gu Xiuyuan. "Xiuyuan, grandma said she wants to drink..." milk tea

"Why call him Xiuyuan? Call him Laoqi."

Whoosh——

Ji Shuyu looked at her grandmother in shock, and sent the message with a trembling hand.

She was trying to evacuate in a panic when Gu Xiuyuan called.

"What would you like to drink, Grandma?" His voice was mixed with a hint of pleasant laughter.

"Milk, milk tea..." Ji Shuyu said stutteringly and quickly walked aside, fearing that the old lady would say something shocking again.

"How about you?" He seemed in a good mood. "Want some more cake?"

He brings cakes over after get off work these two days.

"No." She sat down tiredly.

cough……

There was a sudden choking sound on the other end of the phone.

Ji Shuyu didn't react for a moment until she heard him say, "You always say this, but what's the result..."

boom--

Her mind suddenly went blank, and then she yelled: "Gu Xiuyuan!!"

The person on the other end of the phone was laughing even more happily.

She was so angry that she hung up the phone. How could he always change the subject to something else?

Grandma heard the sound and looked over. She ran into the bathroom with red cheeks.

Is now the time to blush and get your heart racing because of a little 'teasing'?

She rubbed her face and said, Ji Shuyu, wake up.

The call was hung up, and Gu Xiuyuan sent a message: I'll be there in half an hour, wait for me.

…

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ji Shuyu was urged by her grandmother to go downstairs to pick her up.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I met Gu Bin with a livid face and Xia Mei with anger in her eyes.

During this time in the hospital, the relationship between the two was "excellent", so why...

"Dad, Mom." Ji Shuyu greeted.

In the past, even if Gu Bin's attitude was indifferent, he would not ignore her greeting. This time, he didn't even say a word and just walked into the elevator. Xia Mei called another one.

Looking at the two people driving away, Ji Shuyu was confused.

"Xiao Yu."

Gu Xiuyuan walked into the hall carrying a cup of milk tea and saw the little girl standing at the elevator in a daze.

"Are you here to pick up Lao Xi?" he asked deliberately.

Ji Shuyu choked hard. What's wrong with him? Why has he been acting so weird lately?

"Come to think of it, you've never screamed before!" Looking at her wrinkled face, he deliberately said, "Why don't you scream and let me hear it."

Ji Shuyu frowned slightly.

"Mr. Gu, did you hurt your brain?" she asked, raising her hand to touch his forehead. "Why don't you go get checked out!"

Gu Xiuyuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

Mr. Gu?

Sounds good...

"Okay, you'll accompany me then." He rubbed her hair, then took her hand and called the elevator.

Ji Shuyu lowered her eyes and looked at the two of them holding each other tightly. Suddenly, it felt unreal, just like the last time outside the blood collection room in the hospital, he also held her hand tightly like this.

But later...

…

Outside the elevator, Su Yan stood behind the bonsai, staring at the elevator door.

The last time this happened was when she and Gu Xiuyuan were in the elevator.

It hasn't been long since then, and their positions have changed dramatically.

The difference was that even though they were so far apart, she could see the doting in his eyes when he looked at Ji Shuyu.

Just like when they were young, even though Ji Shuyu was just a little girl at that time, this was something he had never felt before when he looked at her...

Jealousy and hatred burned in her eyes, but she smiled smugly while covering her burning cheeks.

Xia Mei, sometimes I really should thank you.

Because of you, things have turned around, and because of you, the game can go on.

…

When Old Madam Gu was in the hospital, she insisted that Ji Shuyu and the other two stay with her at night. Now that she is at Fu's home, she still wants Gu Xiuyuan and the other two to stay with her.

The old lady had just recovered, and they naturally wanted to comply with her wishes. To please her, the Gu family also held a banquet in the name of the 30th anniversary of Gu Bin and his wife's marriage.

However, the relationship between the Gu family couple is so distant, so this banquet is really ironic.

Ji Shuyu and her grandmother came in the same car, but Gu Xiuyuan didn't show up until evening when he appeared again. Xia Mei also came with him.

The atmosphere between the two of them was filled with a suppressed familiarity. This was the "sharpness" honed over the years. She vaguely felt that the matter might be related to Su Yan.

"What's going on?" The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law and grandson, frowning. "If you two have something to talk about, go outside and talk. Don't bring your emotions home."

How could the old lady not know the cause of the conflict between the two? She held Ji Shuyu's hand, feeling worried.

The two children have finally gotten along better recently, and she doesn't want the woman surnamed Su to influence them again.

"And you!" The old lady looked at her son coldly. "This has nothing to do with you. My blood pressure goes up just by looking at you. Get upstairs!"

Gu Bin didn't dare to anger his mother, nor did he want his youthful feelings to be mentioned in front of the younger generation. After comforting his mother for a few seconds, he went upstairs to the study.

Looking at her husband walking upstairs, Xia Mei felt a surge of anger in her heart. Looking at her son's angry expression, her anger grew even stronger.

The two of them are of the same character, but that face... is it really that attractive?!

The more they did this, the more frantically she wanted to stop them, at any cost.

"Xiuyuan, remember what you said."

Ji Shuyu felt oppressed after hearing this suffocating and nonchalant warning.

Xia Mei went upstairs, and Ji Shuyu looked at Gu Xiuyuan: "What happened?"

Gu Xiuyuan paused, then shook his head. "It's okay." He sighed softly and then pulled her outside. "Su Yan had an accident. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to tell you."

Ji Shuyu only then learned that Gu Bin and his wife met Su Yan in the hospital that morning.

Because of Gu Bin's concern, Xia Mei lost control and slapped Su Yan, and soon after, Su Yan fell down the stairs.

It was said that the pedestrian was hit accidentally.

Ji Shuyu knew that Xia Mei could not tolerate Su Yan.

She transferred all her hatred for Gu Bin's infidelity to Su Yan's face. Her hatred for Su Yan even exceeded that for Gu Xiuwen and his mother.

But……

"Mom wouldn't do that." Ji Shuyu said.

With Xia Mei's means, if she really wanted to take action, she wouldn't do it so easily.

However, this is also Su Yan's brilliance.

If something were to happen, Xia Mei would be the biggest suspect, and this would earn her the sympathy of the Gu family's daughter. If they were to investigate, it would be just an accident, giving her both offensive and defensive options.

Gu Xiuyuan frowned as he listened, and loosened his grip on her hand a few inches.

Ji Shuyu noticed it, but it was quickly grasped, as if everything before was just an illusion.

"Whether it's true or not, I can't care about her." Gu Xiuyuan said seriously. "Su Yan has had a very hard time in the past few years, and it's all because of mom."

Ji Shuyu listened with a slightly bitter feeling.

so what?

Does he intend to keep "taking care" like this?

"I understand." Ji Shuyu pulled her hand away.

Gu Xiuyuan noticed it and held on tighter the next moment.

"I've missed a lot of work during this period, and we have a family banquet coming up soon. Once I'm done with these things, Yan..." He paused. "Her health will have improved, and I'll send her away from Yuncheng then."

Ji Shuyu suddenly raised her head, what?

Send her away from Yuncheng.

"Xiao Yu, let's get married at the party at home!" He held her hand and then hugged her. "From now on, we will be fine, okay?"

Ji Shuyu's body was a little stiff.

So, he really means it?
