Chapter 60 That child, is he my fourth brother's?
Lu Fengqing didn't know how she fell asleep.
She woke up once halfway through the night and found that her fever seemed to have gotten worse. She forced herself to get up, took her medicine, and then sent a message to Huo Huai Sui, asking her to pick up Rui Rui again.
Huo Huaisui knew that Lu Fengqing was sick and guessed that she was in a bad mood, so he quickly agreed.
Actually, she wasn't in a good mood either.
Lu Yuhan's two sentences kept echoing in my mind, and no matter how hard I tried to distract myself, it was no use.
Sigh, she's having such a hard time.
"Why are you sighing?" Huo Huai'an came back to get the documents he had forgotten in the study, and heard Huo Huaisui sighing as soon as he entered the room.
Huo Huai Sui's gaze was deep and unfathomable. "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Huo Huai'an didn't understand, nor did he want to understand. He was in a hurry and didn't have time to chat with her, so he quickly went upstairs.
When he came down with the documents, Huo Huai Sui suddenly called out to him, "Brother."
Huo Huai'an paused, "Let go."
Huo Huai Sui was too lazy to argue with him, "You know Nian Nian..."
Huo Huai'an: "What's wrong with Lu Nian?"
Huo Huaisui hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed and said, "Never mind, it's alright."
This is Niannian's private matter. Even though her brother and Niannian have known each other for many years and have a good relationship, she cannot gossip and spread rumors about other people.
This younger sister's thought process is beyond the comprehension of normal people, so Huo Huai'an didn't bother arguing with her. "Last night, the total bill was 1,242 yuan. I'll round it down for you since we're like siblings. It'll be 1,240 yuan. Remember to transfer it to my account later."
Huo Huaisui: "..."
You're really my brother, give me a couple of dollars off!
Once the topic of money came up, Huo Huai Sui couldn't think about anything else for the time being. She composed herself, picked up her phone, and called her aunt.
The person was introduced by her aunt, and she shouldn't have to bear this unfair expense alone.
-
When Lu Fengqing woke up again, she was lying in a hospital bed.
The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant; it wasn't unpleasant, but it made people uneasy.
"Auntie." A small head peeked in front of Lu Fengqing, a pair of big eyes filled with deep worry.
Lu Fengqing stared at him blankly for a few seconds, "Rui Rui?"
Rui Rui reached out and touched Lu Fengqing's forehead, then touched her own, before climbing out of bed.
When she returned, she was carrying a glass of warm water, followed by a man with an unfriendly expression.
Lu Fengqing felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at the man's face. She took the water glass from Rui Rui, tilted her head back, and gulped down more than half of it.
Hospital beds were in short supply, so Lu Fengqing went home after her IV drip was finished.
They remained completely silent the entire way.
Back in the Milky Way, Lu Fengqing asked, "Did you take me to the hospital?"
Gu Suixing sneered: "Or did you sleepwalk there yourself?"
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Gu Suixing parked the car, said nothing, opened the car door and got out.
Lu Fengqing quickly picked up Rui Rui and followed Gu Suixing into the elevator.
Rui Rui remembered that her aunt was still sick, and she also remembered that her uncle said that a four-and-a-half-year-old child should learn to be independent and not be carried by adults as much as possible, so she said, "Auntie, walk by yourself."
Lu Fengqing had no choice but to put him down.
The man beside her was still radiating a gloomy aura.
Lu Fengqing tugged at his sleeve, "Are you angry?"
Gu Suixing: "I wasn't the one who almost had my brain damaged by the fever, so why am I angry?"
Well, I just made up with her yesterday, and she's angry again today.
Lu Fengqing sighed and didn't say anything more. She took Rui Rui's little hand in one hand and linked her arm with Gu Suixing's arm with the other.
Thankfully, she wasn't so angry that she wouldn't let me touch her.
Rui Rui had already been taken to dinner by Huo Huai Sui, but Lu Feng Qing and Gu Sui Xing hadn't eaten.
Gu Suixing called her private chef to have the food delivered.
Of course, the food was for Gu Suixing, while Lu Fengqing only got to drink millet porridge.
Lu Fengqing ate her food absentmindedly, her gaze inadvertently drifting to Rui Rui, who was watching the turtles on the balcony.
She's been incredibly irresponsible with the child these past few days, only dropping him off but not picking him up, which is a bit unfair to the little guy.
Fortunately, the little guy's summer vacation will start in three days, and his older brother will send him to the Dou family... The thought of not seeing the little guy for the next two months made Lu Fengqing feel melancholy again.
A sound came from beside me, neither too loud nor too soft.
Lu Fengqing turned around and saw Gu Suixing looking at Rui Rui with a gloomy expression.
“Send him back to your older brother tomorrow.”
"..."
Lu Fengqing didn't dare say that her older brother sent the child over because he didn't want her to be his assistant.
Lu Fengqing softened her tone and discussed with him, "He'll be on summer vacation in a few days, we can send him back then."
Gu Suixing sneered, her tone leaving no room for negotiation: "Either send him back, or get out of here and go to work tomorrow morning."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
How could you be so heartless!
Lu Fengqing tried to reason with him, "If I go to work, who will pick Rui Rui up from school?"
Gu Suixing: "You have time to pick him up from school when you're not working?"
"..." That hurts.
The little guy had seen enough of the turtles, so he ran back and stared longingly at Lu Fengqing and Gu Suixing.
Gu Suixing looked at him for a moment and then conceded, "Let Sui Sui take it."
Then, without further ado with Lu Fengqing, he waved to Rui Rui and said, "Go take a shower."
Rui Rui obediently followed.
Lu Fengqing sat there blankly, watching the two figures walk away, her expression momentarily dazed.
After regaining her senses, she quickly finished the porridge in her bowl and got up to find clothes for Rui Rui.
Practice makes perfect, and this time Gu Suixing didn't linger for long before coming out with the little one in her arms.
Gu Suixing still didn't help the little guy get dressed, and took her phone to the balcony.
The call was from Huo Huai'an.
Huo Huai'an immediately teased, "Do you have to be so vengeful? The engagement has been canceled, and he's almost your brother-in-law..."
Gu Suixing interrupted him: "Did those companies all put pressure on us?"
"Don't worry," Huo Huai'an said. "I guarantee they will never dare to cooperate with Tang Xingzhou again."
They were only forbidden from associating with Tang Xingzhou, not from cooperating with the Tang family. The Tang family isn't just about Tang Xingzhou; there's no need for those people to offend the Gu family's heir for the sake of a young master who might not even be the Tang family's successor.
However, even though the engagement was canceled, this ancestor still didn't intend to let Tang Xingzhou off the hook, which was something he hadn't expected.
Men can be just as petty as women when they're being narrow-minded.
Gu Suixing recalled Huo Huaisui's phone call that morning, in which he said he had encountered Lu Yuhan at the hospital, and said in a deep voice, "Send someone to find Lu Yuhan and take her to the Tang family."
Huo Huai'an didn't understand why Lu Yuhan was suddenly brought up. "What happened to her?"
Gu Suixing: "She is pregnant with Tang Xingzhou's child."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Huo Huai'an's hoarse voice.
Lu Yuhan is pregnant with Tang Xingzhou's child. Tang Xingzhou and Gu Weiwei are about to get engaged. If Lu Yuhan is sent to the Tang family now, it will surely turn the Tang family upside down.
This ancestor, does he have to be so mean?
Meanwhile, Huo Huaisui was also secretly calling Lu Fengqing.
She couldn't hold it in any longer.
If she doesn't find out the truth, she definitely won't be able to sleep tonight.
"Um, Niannian," Huo Huaisui asked cautiously, "is what Lu Yuhan said true?"
Lu Fengqing didn't hide it from her, "Yes."
Huo Huai Sui paused for a moment, then lowered his voice even further: "That child, is he my fourth brother's?"
