Gentle and virtuous Song Yi harbors a secret: years ago, when she was desperate, she sought help from a man. She witnessed his wildness and endured his disdain.

She thought they would never m...

Chapter 447: Not Together

Chapter 447: Not Together

Perhaps because of preconceived prejudice, Jiang Yuxu never believed the "like" that Gui Qing said. When she said, "Jiang Lu, I really like you," he just regarded it as her way of teasing him.

He didn't think he was her type.

He had never thought about why Gui Qing was pestering him before. He had no experience in love, and it was difficult for him to understand the subtleties of certain behaviors between men and women.

Many human abilities need to be learned, and he must admit that he doesn't have much talent in this area, and can even be described as dull.

There was silence in the ward for a while. Finally, Jiang Yuxu said, "It's my fault. I was too prejudiced against her."

"Now that you've realized the problem, it should still be in time." Song Yi didn't dwell on this matter. "But, how are you going to make up for your car accident?"

Gui Qing is so smart, there is little chance that he can fool her with his pretense.

With such a big scene, the injuries will definitely be serious.

At this critical juncture, if Gui Qing knew that he was testing her with this kind of thing, she would be really angry and it would be difficult to explain.

Jiang Yuxu had the same concern - he had started thinking about this issue since he came to the ward with Fu Xijing.

Jiang Yuxu looked at Fu Xijing.

When Fu Xijing saw the look in Jiang Yuxu's eyes, his eyebrows jumped and an ominous premonition arose.

Sure enough, the next second, Jiang Yuxu said, "Do me another favor."

——

Because of Jiang Yuxu's car accident, Gui Qing didn't even eat lunch. She kept holding her phone waiting for a reply from Song Yi.

I was so restless and anxious that I couldn't even concentrate on my work.

When Lin Di came in to deliver the information to her, he saw Gui Qing pacing back and forth in the office, staring at her phone.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her whole body exuded an air of anxiety.

Lin Di has worked with Gui Qing for almost four years, and this is the first time he has seen her so restless. Although she is not very old and does not have much experience, she is famous for her composure in the face of emergencies, and no emergency will make her panic.

It’s definitely not because of work that I’m like this today.

Lin Di almost instantly thought of the news of Jiang Yuxu's car accident - from morning till now, Xu Yang had been gone for more than five hours and had not brought any new news. He heard colleagues in the law firm discuss that Jiang Yuxu's car accident might be related to the lawsuit that Dasheng won yesterday.

"Sunny day?" Lindy called out tentatively.

Gui Qing looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

"This is the approval document that needs your signature," said Lindy.

Gui Qing pointed to the desk and said, "Put it over there first. I'll take a look at it later."

Lindy placed the documents on the desk as she instructed and looked at her again, a little worried: "Are you okay?"

She paused and asked softly, "Is it because of Jiang Lu?"

Gui Qing didn't answer but asked, "Is there any new news outside?"

This question was equivalent to giving a positive answer to the previous question, and it was also equivalent to indirectly acknowledging that her relationship with Jiang Yuxu was not simple.

If you really don't know each other well in private, you won't worry to the point of losing your mind.

But now wasn't the time for gossip. No matter how curious Lin Di was, he knew the situation. "Assistant Xu hasn't been contacted yet, and there's no new information from my colleagues at the law firm. But there haven't been any relevant reports in the media, so Lawyer Jiang's family must have handled it."

Everyone is quite clear about Jiang Yuxu's background, so it is easy to block this kind of news.

"Well, go get busy first." Gui Qing glanced at the desk: "Are there any documents that need approval urgently?"

Lindy: "No rush, there's still time to sign after you can concentrate on it."

Gui Qing: "Okay."

After Lin Di left the office, Gui Qing picked up the phone again.

When I looked at the time, it was already 3:50 in the afternoon.

It was 12:40 when I spoke to Song Yi on the phone. More than three hours had passed, and Song Yi still hadn't brought any news.

Song Yi is a member of the Jiang family, so there is no information gap.

She hadn't replied for such a long time, so Jiang Yuxu...

Buzz.

A short vibration interrupted Gui Qing's thoughts.

She quickly picked up her phone and after seeing the WeChat message from Song Yi, her fingers trembled unconsciously, not knowing whether it was because of excitement or nervousness.

After opening the dialog box, Gui Qing saw the content.

Song Yi: [Qinggong, don't worry, Brother Xu is fine. He only has a comminuted fracture in his arm, and the rest of his injuries are just superficial. The doctor said he just needs to rest.]

After Gui Qing silently read the message, he let out a long sigh.

She raised her hand and touched her chest, and the strong feeling of suffocation and the increased heart rate due to anxiety were relieved at the same time.

Gui Qing replied to Song Yi with a "thank you" and then asked her: "Have you investigated the cause of the accident?"

Song Yi: [Yes, it was because he wasn't paying attention while driving.]

Gui Qing didn't quite believe it. It was not like she had ever ridden in Jiang Yuxu's car before. He was the kind of person who would wait for the red light as soon as the green light countdown started. He was very cautious. If she said a few more words while he was driving, he would remind her not to disturb him.

What on earth could distract him while driving?

Just as Gui Qing was getting curious, Song Yi sent another message: [Qing Gong, excuse me, is there any misunderstanding between you and Brother Xu?]

Gui Qing: [Why do you say that?]

Song Yi wasn't very familiar with her. Given her personality, she wouldn't ask such a private matter for no reason, unless—

Song Yi: [He was calling your name when he was unconscious just now, and asked "Why aren't you talking to me?", so I guess there might be some misunderstanding between you.]

Gui Qing took a deep breath.

She didn't expect that her small decision would have such a big impact. She originally just wanted to take the opportunity to let Jiang Yuxu experience the feeling of being subjected to cold violence, but she didn't expect that he would get into a car accident because of this.

Yes, he has a stubborn personality and wants to solve problems as soon as they arise. He can't understand why she suddenly ignored him. I'm afraid she must be thinking about him all the time.

Gui Qing felt a little guilty. She rarely regretted a decision, but now her biggest feeling was regret.

Gui Qing stared at the phone screen for a moment, then asked, "Is he awake now? Is it convenient for me to visit him?"

Song Yi: [He hasn't woken up yet. Everyone at home is here. Do you want to come?]

Gui Qing: [Let’s do it another day.]

Song Yi: [Okay, I'll contact you when he wakes up.]

Gui Qing: [Thank you.]

Song Yi: [Excuse me, Qing Gong, I know that Brother Xu is pursuing you. You must have feelings for him, right?]

Gui Qing: [What happened between him and me is not as simple as him pursuing me.]

Song Yi: [I know you two have been together for the past two years.]

Gui Qing: [Did he tell you?]

She twitched her lips in self-mockery: [That doesn't count as being together.]

Song Yi: [On Christmas Day two years ago, I saw you guys go to the hotel.]

Gui Qing's eyelids twitched, and because of Song Yi's words, her memory was pulled back to that Christmas Eve.

At that time, she and Jiang Yuxu had just gotten entangled.

Song Yi actually saw it?
