Chapter 20: My Ex-Boyfriend Deserves to Die...

After breakfast, the rain had not stopped yet, so Xi Ning had to go back to the company. Before she signed with the company, she was already a well-known blogger. Her writing style and personality were rather wild. She was not a conventional writer. From time to time, she would write some "scary" articles, and the one last night was one of them.

The boss wants to talk to her again.

However, the company has a love-hate relationship with her and receives complaints from all over the country every day. But it must be said that almost every article she writes can stir up the storm and bring heat. It can be said that Xi Ning is making money by standing at the forefront of the storm.

Before she left, she cooked porridge, boiled eggs, and fried two side dishes for Wen Chu to eat. Wen Chu curled up on the sofa, watching the rain, and told her to go without worry.

Xi Ning originally wanted to bring Wen Chu to the company, but Wen Chu was not in a good condition to go. No one could bear what he had just experienced.

After the door closed.

Wen Chu casually flipped through some articles and scripts to kill time and stop himself from overthinking. His phone rang several times with numerous messages, most of them from Gu Cheng.

She ignored it all.

At noon, the doorbell rang. Wen Chu leaned on her cane and peeked out through the peephole. It was her aunt. She was stunned for a moment, then opened the door. Her aunt smiled at her from outside, holding a thermos in her hand and handing it to her. She said, "I was worried you were hungry, so I got you something to eat."

Wen Chu looked at the thermos in her aunt's hand and didn't take it. She said, "Auntie, I have food, don't worry about me."

Auntie looked at Wen Chu's plain face and pale complexion, and she felt distressed. She put the thermos on the ground and said, "If you don't want to eat it, just leave it there."

After saying that, she left.

Wen Chu glanced at the thermos for a few seconds, then moved aside, closed the door, and went back inside. Auntie waited until she closed the door, then came out to take another look. Seeing the thermos still outside, she sighed and went downstairs. She saw Mr. Gu standing by the car, cigarette in hand, and Gu Cheng turned to look.

Auntie said: "She didn't eat it, nor did she take it."

Gu Cheng glanced at his phone.

Wen Chu: Don’t let Auntie bring us food, we have no relationship anymore.

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes, and the smoke lingered, staining his brows.

The crew of "Qing Ping Chuan" stopped filming for seven or eight days. During these seven or eight days, the producer ate and drank with the supervisors until he was about to vomit. Finally, he sent the supervisors away. After receiving the safety permits from them, they started shooting overnight. They didn't know what Mr. Gu would do next. If he invited the supervisors a few more times, "Qing Ping Chuan" would be aborted. So everyone had to rush back to shoot that night, even if the battery was low.

Qi Yuan changed into her costume and came out of the exclusive lounge. The assistant director saw her and beckoned her, saying, "Teacher Qi, you know that the heroine of our "Qing Ping Chuan" is both civil and martial. The martial arts take up most of the scenes. Now that Teacher Wen is recuperating, you have to help shoot some of the action to catch up on the progress."

Qi Yuan glanced at the wirework. Actually, ever since she had Wen Chu as her stunt double, she'd rarely used it. It was fine in the early days, but after her back injury two years ago, she'd barely touched it. She fanned herself and said, "We'll wait until she comes back before filming."

The assistant director's expression changed slightly. "It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. No one knows when she'll be back. Besides, I heard that Mr. Gu is helping her terminate her contract with your company."

When Qi Yuan heard Gu Cheng, she gritted her teeth slightly.

She walked around the assistant director, no longer speaking to him. The head director, seeing Qi Yuan approach, suggested they hurry up and film other things first. Qi Yuan had expected everything to go smoothly, but she'd grown accustomed to having Wen Chu fill in for her on set, taking care of all sorts of shots, back shots, arms, and even standing positions. Without a constant, shadow-like backup, she grew increasingly irritated. This convinced her that Wen Chu, her stunt double, would have to continue.

At this time, Shu Mei received a call and saw the other party's name - Mr. He.

She was startled, then quickly picked up the phone with a smile: "Mr. He."

I don't know what He Sheng said over there. Shu Mei subconsciously glanced at Qi Yuan, then smiled and walked out of the set to answer the call. She was different from Qi Yuan. Although she was already Xinghe's gold medal agent, her background was not as strong as Qi Yuan's. In this circle, if you want to get better, of course you need to have as many resources as possible.

She listened to He Sheng's words, her brows wavering a little. After hanging up the phone, Shu Mei walked back, holding the phone. Qi Yuan wanted to smoke on the side with an ugly face, but no one stood up for her, so she could only stand and listen to the director speak. Shu Mei came to her side and could feel her irritability.

She glanced at Qi Yuan and said softly, "Find some time to talk to Mr. Gu again and ask him not to be so tough. Logically, he treats you..."

Qi Yuan recalled the coldness revealed in his casual attitude in the conference room that day, which she had not expected.

No matter how much Wen Chu stayed at Xi Ning's place, she had to go back to the hospital for a checkup and a dressing change. A few days later, Xi Ning drove her to the hospital early in the morning. After a few days of rain, the sky finally cleared up. The sun was shining brightly. Xi Ning helped Wen Chu out of the car. A Porsche slowly stopped, the door opened, and a tall figure stepped out.

Wen Chu looked up and saw Gu Cheng, dressed in a black shirt and trousers, getting out of the car. Their eyes met. Wen Chu looked away and whispered to Xi Ning, "Let's go."

Xi Ning also saw Gu Cheng. She snorted coldly and helped Wen Chu up the stairs. She said to Wen Chu, "Don't pay attention to him."

Wen Chu hadn't spoken to Gu Cheng for a few days. She was gradually getting used to ignoring him. She was wearing Xi Ning's loose shirt dress today, and her skin was fair, but it was hard for her to walk. Gu Cheng walked behind them with his hands in his trouser pockets. Xi Ning whispered in Wen Chu's ear: "What is he doing?"

Wen Chu shook her head. Her chest ached, but she was trying to numb the pain. Her crutch hit the speed bump on the steps and slipped.

Wen Chu felt a little unsteady.

Xi Ning sighed and quickly pulled Wen Chu towards him. The tall figure behind him moved. Gu Cheng stepped forward and, while Wen Chu was unstable, picked her up by the waist.

Wen Chu dropped the crutch in his hand to the ground and looked up at him.

Xi Ning hurriedly said: "Put her down, I can help her."

Gu Cheng's voice was low and cold: "Can you help?"

He glanced at the crutch on the ground, looking down at it from above, his aura somewhat intimidating. Xi Ning glanced at the crutch on the ground and sneered, "A boyfriend who's broken up with you should be as good as dead. Why are you pretending to be so nice?"

Gu Cheng's jaw tightened, and he walked up the stairs without saying anything. Wen Chu struggled in his arms, and he looked into her eyes, seeing resistance in them.

He said, "You can slap me again, evenly on both sides."

Wen Chu had already seen the finger marks on his neck, scabbed over and buried in his collar. She pursed her lips and turned her head away. These days, she had been unable to move around much, unable to go anywhere, not even to move her luggage from his house. Being restricted in her movements was already frustrating, and she didn't want to argue with him. Gu Cheng smelled the faint fragrance on her body, even with the scent of medicine. He tightened his grip a little, and seeing that she ignored him, he raised his eyes, walked into the hospital, and went upstairs.

It was still the same ward. Gu Cheng did not leave. After entering, he put her on the bed. The doctor came in with the nurse and asked Gu Cheng with a smile: "Have you been staying at home for the past two days?"

Gu Cheng stood aside, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and replied, "Yeah."

The doctor bent down to examine Wen Chu's wound and apply medicine. Xi Ning sat by the bed, protecting Wen Chu, while Gu Cheng stood there watching. The doctor changed the dressing on Wen Chu's foot. Wen Chu, fearing the pain, leaned towards Xi Ning. Gu Cheng saw the tears welling in her eyes and resisted the urge to wipe them away.

After changing the dressing, he looked at the wound on her shoulder again.

The doctor asked Gu Cheng to leave and said to him, "Two doses of medicine will be enough. As for the plaster on her shoulder, she can come back and have it removed in about a month."

Gu Cheng said, "Okay."

The doctor smiled and left with the nurse. Gu Cheng walked into the ward. Xi Ning stood by the door and said, "I heard everything. I'll bring her here for the rest of the process."

Gu Cheng ignored Xi Ning and walked over to Wen Chu, squatting down to get her shoes and put them on. Wen Chu flinched, and Gu Cheng raised his eyes. Wen Chu met his gaze and said, "I can put them on myself."

Gu Cheng grabbed her ankles and put them into her shoes. Wen Chu gritted her teeth and pulled with him, but she couldn't match his strength. Wen Chu whispered, "Didn't you hear what Xi Ning said? You should..."

She wanted to say that her ex-boyfriend should be hung on the wall as if he were dead.

Gu Cheng's voice was indifferent: "What should I do? Hang it on the wall?"

Wen Chu pursed his lips.

"I'm glad you know."

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes and carefully put her shoes on. Then he reached out to pick her up. Wen Chu leaned against his shoulders and looked him in the eyes: "I really don't need you. I can walk by myself."

As she said that, she got out of bed.

Xi Ning coughed and rushed forward to support Wen Chu. Wen Chu's crutches fell to the ground, and the two walked out. Gu Cheng straightened up and looked at the roses in the ward that had not been cleared away. They were already withered.

Xi Ning pressed the elevator and walked out of the hospital with Wen Chu.

Who knew that Qi Yuan was standing outside the door, wearing sunglasses and a mask, wrapped tightly. Xi Ning sneered: "What kind of ghosts have appeared."

Qi Yuan folded her arms. Seeing them, she glanced past them but then looked back. Gu Cheng's tall figure emerged from the elevator. Seeing him, Qi Yuan stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Cheng. She looked up and said, "Let's talk."

Gu Cheng glanced at Qi Yuan and frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Qi Yuan pointed at her arm and said, "What are you talking about? Your feelings."

Talk about your feelings. Wen Chu and Xi Ning heard it in front. Amid the noise, Wen Chu frowned and Xi Ning looked at her. In fact, if Wen Chu broke up with Gu Cheng, then Gu Cheng and Qi Yuan would have a chance, and he wouldn't have to look for Wan Wan Lei Qing anymore.

Gu Cheng met Qi Yuan's eyes. Her attitude was confident, just like the many WeChat messages she sent, she was threatening him with his secret love.

This moment.

Gu Cheng felt annoyed.

He was born into a merchant family with generations of scholarly heritage. The earlier generations were all professors, writers, and scientists. It was not until his grandfather's generation that things changed. They quickly accumulated wealth and established the Gu Group. But even so, most of the family members were gentle and well-educated at heart. The only one who was relatively arrogant was Gu Sui. Of course, he himself was also influenced by his family, so his emotions when he was young were extremely restrained.

But Qi Yuan always brings up this emotion, especially recently.

Gu Cheng said indifferently: "We have nothing to talk about."

He walked past Qi Yuan and headed towards the car. His eyes fell on Wen Chu, who was about to get in. Wen Chu happened to look up. Xi Ning's car was parked under the shadow of a tree. At this moment, Wen Chu's eyes were as cold as water, and she gently met his gaze. Gu Cheng paused.

He watched her get into the car.

A trace of panic welled up in my heart.
