Gu Xian: “…”
If the car door wasn't locked, he really wanted to jump out of the car.
"Whatever you want, I won't wear it anyway if you buy it."
Gu Xian turned around, faced the car window, and acted like he didn't want to bother with him.
Xie Yunjing had no sense of being disliked: "Then you agree."
Gu Xian: “…”
He was clearly talking to himself, but the shadow reflected in the car window was filled with satisfaction and joy. Gu Xian stared at the unpleasant face in the car window, but he didn't expect the figure in the glass to suddenly roll its eyes and look at him with the corners of its lips raised.
"Spying on me?"
Gu Xian, whose face was covered with the peacock tail, immediately lowered his head: "Stop being narcissistic."
"What kind of ring would you like? Diamonds or gemstones, or pure platinum?"
The man's voice was filled with anticipation. Gu Xian irritably pulled up his hat and put it on: "I already said whatever..."
The sudden ringing of the cell phone interrupted Gu Xian.
Xie Yunjing held the steering wheel firmly with both hands, letting the phone ring non-stop: "Please answer it for me?"
Gu Xian: “…”
Who would have thought that the famous Mr. Xie of the Xie Group is actually a kid in his twenties who loves to act like a spoiled brat.
Gu Xian took out his cell phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen first: "It's Kang Bo calling."
Xie Yunjing asked curiously, "I told Kang Bo that I would be back late tonight."
Gu Xian picked up the phone reluctantly: "Hello, Cumber..."
I don't know what was said on the other side, but the person who was originally leaning crookedly on the chair suddenly sat up straight, and the reluctance on his face turned into surprise and panic.
"It's me, Kang Bo, Xiao Gu." Gu Xian glanced at Xie Yunjing, then quickly looked away. "He's here, Xie Yunjing, he's right next to me, he's driving. Okay, okay, I got it, I'll have him come over right away."
He paused for a moment, as if the person on the other end of the line was giving him some instructions, and then he promised, "Well, I know. I'll pay attention."
Gu Xian hung up the phone, but did not immediately tell Xie Yunjing what happened with Kang Bo.
Xie Yunjing frowned slightly: "What did Kang Bo say to you?"
Gu Xian pursed his lips: "We'll buy the ring next time..."
He took a breath and then continued with difficulty: "Comber said your grandmother might not survive the night, so he asked you to go to the hospital quickly to see her for the last time."
Xie Yunjing's expression changed drastically, his original relaxed smile disappeared, and veins bulged on his hands holding the steering wheel.
Gu Xian held on to his seat belt nervously, fearing that he would step on the accelerator to the bottom in excitement.
However, the next moment, the gloom and loss of control on Xie Yunjing's face disappeared, leaving only a calm and peaceful state.
His hands were still firmly on the steering wheel, and the car speed remained steady.
"You said you would buy it next time, and you can't regret it."
After parking the car in the hospital garage, Xie Yunjing's actions showed a hint of urgency.
Because he was worried about receiving another call on the way, Xie Yunjing kept holding his phone in Gu Xian's hand. Gu Xian handed the phone over and said, "I won't go up."
He and Xie Yunjing had never had a wedding and had never met their relatives, so they were not a proper couple, and it was not convenient for him to get involved in such family affairs.
Xie Yunjing was stunned for a moment, and without answering the phone, he turned around and got out of the car: "Let's go together."
He came to Gu Xian and opened the car door: "You haven't met my grandmother since you married me. You can't let her..."
Xie Yunjing paused, then forced a laugh: "I haven't even met her granddaughter-in-law since I left."
But after he finished speaking, he did not bend down and reach in like he did before when Gu Xian was unwilling to get out of the car. Instead, he let go of his hand on the car door and stood silently by the door, as if whether to get out of the car or not was entirely up to Gu Xian himself.
The expression on Xie Yunjing's face was not good.
Gu Xian was unusually silent and cooperative, getting out of the car and closing the door.
"Let's go."
Xie Yunjing walked very fast. If Gu Xian hadn't been exercising for a while, he might not even be able to keep up with him.
However, after walking out of the elevator and turning a corner, Xie Yunjing's hurried steps stopped instantly.
The door of the ward at the end of the corridor in front was full of people. Gu Xian had visited the Xie family when he was a child, and he recognized that everyone standing there was a member of the Xie family.
Some people even pinned white flowers on.
Gu Xian noticed that Xie Yunjing's hands hanging by his side were trembling slightly, and hesitated for a moment.
"Xie Yunjing..."
He touched the back of Xie Yunjing's hand, then inserted his fingers into the other's fingers and held them with a soothing look.
Xie Yunjing turned to look at him, seeming a little dazed.
Gu Xian was somewhat at a loss. He didn't know how to comfort someone at this time. He could only tentatively rub the back of Xie Yunjing's hand twice: "Don't dawdle, hurry up...!"
The hand that had not reacted when the fingers were inserted suddenly tightened, and clenched it with a force that seemed to crush his bones and blood. Xie Yunjing pushed him and took him to the other side of the corner, avoiding the area where he might be seen by the Xie family, and immediately hugged him tightly.
Xie Yunjing buried his head in his neck, and the hand that was not held by him pressed hard on the back of his head, as if a fragile dead tree was trying to absorb new vitality.
Gu Xian endured the pain of his finger bones being squeezed tightly, patted Xie Yunjing on the back, and said softly: "Okay... okay. I'll go with you."
Xie Yunjing rubbed the side of his neck hard.
Gu Xian stroked his hair again and sighed helplessly: "Your grandma's time is running out..."
Xie Yunjing finally stood up again. He lifted up Gu Xian's hand, which was left with fingerprints. "Does it hurt?"
His entire palm was numb from the pain, but Gu Xian said nothing. He just pulled his hand back and urged again: "Stop dawdling."
Xie Yunjing didn't touch him again, just looked at him steadily: "You stay with me."
Gu Xian was exceptionally patient: "Yeah."
Xie Yunjing repeated: "You accompany me."
He simply turned around and walked towards the corner, but Gu Xian immediately understood his intention.
He put his hands in his pockets and followed Xie Yunjing with a nonchalant look on his face.
Old Master Xie skipped Xie Yunjing's father's generation and only chose an heir from among his grandchildren. Such a decision was likely to cause dissatisfaction, not to mention that twenty years ago, Old Master Xie had actually chosen an heir from Xie Yunjing's father's generation, but later changed his mind for some reason.
Many members of the Xie family harbored resentment, but the old man possessed immense power and foresight. If anyone was unhappy about donating their assets and shares, no one would reap the benefits. The Xie family didn't dare to provoke the old man, so they could only direct their ire at their competitors.
The old man and the old lady's attention and favoritism towards Xie Yunjing made him a target of public criticism, and also gave rise to many new resentments. Xie Huaihong's targeting was a typical example. The Xie family members gathered at the ward door, watching each of them weep in grief, were unaware of the hidden schemes and ulterior motives.
If he went over holding hands with Xie Yunjing at this time, not to mention what the other members of the Xie family would think, even Xie Huaihong, no matter how stupid he was, would realize that he was being fooled.
His undignified posture drew angry glares from many members of the Xie family, but Gu Xian pretended not to see anything and continued to follow Xie Yunjing in a swagger until they entered the ward.
Old Master Xie stood guard by the bedside, the door to the ward opened and closed, but he didn't move. On the other hand, the dying old woman on the bed, upon Xie Yunjing's entry, rolled her cloudy eyes and glanced over, mumbling happily, "Xiao Jing is here, and the one behind, is Xiao Gu?"
The author has something to say: Xiao Xie acts like a spoiled child and Xiao Xie cries.
