Chapter 62 Jiang Shiyi is back!
Su Mengxue looked at Chen Yanzhi with a playful tone, and then thought about why he spent a huge amount of money to buy the vase, and instantly understood his calculations.
She raised her chin slightly, a sly arc spreading across the corners of her eyes: "Chen Yanzhi, I can see that you really love your sister. You're willing to sacrifice yourself for her. This deep brotherly love is truly touching, but..."
She deliberately fell silent midway through her words.
"But what?" Chen Yanzhi's eyebrows moved slightly, and his warm breath swept across her earlobe.
Su Mengxue's eyebrows curved, and she looked at him truthfully and said, "But you're not my type."
Chen Yanzhi looked at Su Mengxue. Although she had a decent and polite smile on her face, her brows were filled with indifference and alienation that she didn't hide at all. She actually said that she looked down on him? It was really ridiculous.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Mengxue say meaningfully, "That vase isn't worth that much money. Don't do things like this again, or you'll end up being taken advantage of and become a laughing stock."
Chen Yanzhi's eyes darkened. It turned out that Su Mengxue had guessed his thoughts a long time ago. He had underestimated her.
He knew there was no point in staying any longer, so he immediately put away his edge, stood up and said, "Thanks for the reminder, I'm leaving."
After Chen Yanzhi left, Su Mengxue stroked the jade pendant on her neck and fell into deep thought, lowering her eyes to ponder what had happened today.
She clearly remembered Fang Rou's body glowing green as she lunged at her. Frowning, she wondered if the green glow signaled danger. But the car owner who had previously struck and killed the puppy also had a green glow around him, yet he hadn't hurt her at all. How could this be explained?
And the purple light that Tang Qing was emitting today. She had also seen red and purple lights on the old man of the Gu family before. The old man was now in the hospital. The red light was a sign of danger, no doubt. But what did the purple light represent?
She began to recall the past. Apart from seeing the yellow light on her two children, she had never seen the light on anyone else. How could this be explained?
Countless mysteries surged in Su Mengxue's heart. She always felt that this jade pendant contained many unknown secrets. As for how to use this jade pendant to return to modern society, she had no idea.
She tossed and turned in thought until the second half of the night before falling into a deep sleep.
The next morning, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Yuanzhou carrying a bunch of things in his hands and pushing the door open quietly.
Seeing that she had woken up, Lu Yuanzhou showed an apologetic look on his face: "I didn't wake you up, did I?"
Su Mengxue smiled and shook her head, her eyes falling on his hands: "Lu Yuanzhou, what did you take?"
"Some toiletries, and I bought you two changes of clothes. I'm not sure your size, so try them on later. If they don't work, I'll exchange them."
Lu Yuanzhou put the things on the counter and shook the thermos in his hand at her: "I asked the doctor when I left last night, and he said you can eat meat today. I specially asked Auntie to stew braised short ribs and make wontons. You can eat after you wash up."
Su Mengxue felt deeply burdened by Lu Yuanzhou's efforts. She clutched the corner of the quilt, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lu Yuanzhou, don't be so nice to me. I only treat you..."
Lu Yuanzhou didn't want to hear her say those hurtful rejections anymore, so he gently interrupted, "Mengxue, I did all this voluntarily, don't take it to heart."
Su Mengxue saw the burning determination in his eyes and swallowed back the words she had not finished speaking.
The air froze for a moment, and Lu Yuanzhou broke the silence first: "Mengxue, you wash up first, I'll wait outside." After that, he pushed the door and went out.
After washing up, Su Mengxue changed into the dress Lu Yuanzhou had bought her, which was the exact size. She noticed a silk scarf in the bag, which he had bought specifically to cover the marks on her neck.
Her eyes darkened. The nicer Lu Yuanzhou treated her, the more uneasy she felt. She knew that if she returned the money to him, he would definitely not accept it. She could only think of finding another opportunity to repay him in the future.
After she finished her meal, Lu Yuanzhou sat with her for a while before going back to work. After she got the IV drip, she asked the nurse which ward the old man from the Gu family was staying in. She repeatedly adjusted her silk scarf in front of the mirror to make sure the marks on her neck were not visible before going to the old man's ward.
She knocked on the door and soon heard a low answer from inside the house.
After she pushed the door open, she saw the old man lying on the hospital bed. He looked much older and more haggard than the last time she saw him. She felt very uncomfortable.
When Gu Changhe saw Su Mengxue suddenly appear, a gentle smile instantly appeared on his pale face. He struggled to sit up and waved at her: "Mengxue, come here quickly."
Su Mengxue quickly walked over to him and sat down, hiding her worry and asking with concern: "Grandpa Gu, why did you suddenly get sick?"
Gu Changhe still had a gentle smile on his face: "As people age, they have many problems, and doctors tend to make a fuss about nothing. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Su Mengxue said seriously: "Grandpa Gu, if you are sick, you must take it seriously. Don't be careless."
"Okay, okay, I get it." Gu Changhe's eyes fell on Su Mengxue and he suddenly asked, "Mengxue, how did you know I was in the hospital? Did Yun Ting tell you? That brat shouldn't have made you so worried."
When Su Mengxue heard the old man mention Gu Yunting, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty when she thought about the fact that the old man was sick but he was still in solitary confinement because of her.
She immediately replied, "Grandpa Gu, he didn't tell me. I happened to meet Aunt Sun yesterday, and she told me."
"So that's what's going on, kid. You've only been working for a few days. There's no need to take time off just for my illness. Grandpa is fine."
"Grandpa Gu, you're so kind to me, I should come and see you." She scratched her head uncomfortably and added with a look of annoyance, "It's just that I came a little too hastily. I should have brought you something."
Gu Changhe laughed heartily and said, "Silly boy, aren't you being too polite? What are you bringing? Your presence is more important than anything else. Look at this room again. The supplements you sent are almost overflowing."
He paused and said with emotion, "Mengxue, come to think of it, I have to thank you. The night before yesterday, I suddenly fainted when I got up to go to the bathroom. Fortunately, Yun Ting heard the noise and rushed me to the hospital. Later, he said that you told him to keep an eye on me. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid no one would have known that I had passed away."
When Su Mengxue heard this, she secretly thanked Gu Yunting for his advice and his concern.
Gu Changhe's eyes were deep and meaningful as he said, "Mengxue, Yun Ting is a stubborn kid with a righteous mind. I think only you can subdue him. Is there no chance for you and him anymore?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. After Gu Changhe answered, the door was pushed open.
Su Mengxue saw that it was Jiang Weilong who came, and there was a young girl standing next to him. The girl looked a little younger than her. Although she was not tall, she was delicate and pretty. However, she lowered her head and clutched the corner of her clothes, unable to hide her embarrassment.
"Uncle Gu, I'm late." Jiang Weilong's eyes swept over Su Mengxue, and the smile in his eyes deepened a little: "But please don't blame me. I received the news the day before yesterday and rushed to the countryside to find my sister. I brought her back and hurried to see you."
After he finished speaking, he pulled her forward a few steps and urged her, "Shi Yi, hurry up and call someone, this is Uncle Gu!"
Su Mengxue curled her fingertips slightly. It turned out that this was Jiang Shiyi, the person Gu Yunting had been engaged to when he was a child.
