Chapter 7 Gu Suixing, who are you implying is fat?
The faint sound of car horns coming from outside the car quickly faded into the distance.
Lu Fengqing's crying stopped abruptly.
Yes, she and he are clearly no longer in that kind of relationship.
In an instant, a feeling even more painful than being framed by her sisters welled up in her heart.
Lu Fengqing closed her eyes and silently let go.
Gu Suixing asked her, "Feeling better now?"
Lu Fengqing moved back without saying a word and continued to stick to the car door.
There were spare clothes in the car. Gu Suixing changed into a clean shirt and threw the one covered in saliva and snot into the trash can.
Lu Fengqing looked out the window and suddenly said, "Stop the car at the pharmacy up ahead."
Gu Suixing raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?"
Lu Fengqing turned around with a cold smile: "What else can we do? Of course, we'll clean up the mess for your 'big deal'!"
Gu Suixing: "..."
Having successfully turned the tide, Lu Fengqing felt a little better. She picked up her phone, opened the front-facing camera, and looked at her eyes.
Do you have sunglasses?
"..."
Gu Suixing pulled out a pair of sunglasses and handed them to her.
Lu Fengqing looked critical. "Why are they men's sunglasses?"
Gu Suixing smiled enigmatically, "If I had any women's things here, do you guarantee you wouldn't jump out of the car right then and there?"
“…Who cares about you?” Lu Fengqing muttered, putting on her sunglasses.
The moment the car door opened, Lu Fengqing reverted to her elegant and aloof demeanor as a young lady.
With a net height of 1.73 meters, she walks with an aura of 2.8 meters while wearing 10-centimeter high heels.
Apart from a slightly red nose, there was nothing unusual about her; it was as if she wasn't the one who had been crying her eyes out in the car just now.
Gu Suixing followed slowly behind, enjoying the sight of her breezy walk.
Upon entering the pharmacy, Lu Fengqing asked the clerk for a box of emergency contraceptive pills.
A hand with distinct knuckles reached out and took the medicine from Lu Fengqing's hand. "Wound the enemy a thousand, but lose eight hundred of your own?"
Lu Fengqing said irritably, "You know that, but you still don't..."
She regretted it before she could finish speaking and hurriedly tried to cover Gu Suixing's mouth.
But it was too late.
Gu Suixing: "You were too hasty and didn't give me time."
The shop assistant, a middle-aged woman, immediately gave Lu Fengqing a disapproving look, saying, "Young lady, you should take care of your health and not be greedy for momentary pleasure."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Gu Suixing lowered his head and chuckled softly.
Lu Fengqing wanted to stuff the whole box of birth control pills into his mouth.
The consequence of showing off for a few minutes after getting off the bus was that her ankle hurt even more.
As soon as the car door closed, Miss Lu's forced composure vanished instantly, her face contorted in pain.
Gu Suixing marveled at the wonder of women, took out some ice-cold mineral water from the small refrigerator to give her a cold compress, and casually threw away the box of birth control pills he had just bought.
"You don't need to take the medicine. I didn't do anything."
Gu Suixing said in a calm tone, "If I did something that would make you so energetic and jumping around, then it's my fault."
Lu Fengqing's eyes widened.
He didn't do anything, so he was just teasing her the whole time?!
Gu Suixing raised his hand and tucked the stray hairs behind her ear, his eyes deep. "Next time might be different."
His patience has its limits, in every respect.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Lu Fengqing got out of the car with a cold face. Just as she was about to walk towards the outpatient building, she suddenly heard the sound of a car door opening and closing behind her.
The next moment, she felt a lightness all over her body as she was lifted up by the waist.
Lu Fengqing was stunned for a moment, then, after regaining her senses, she preemptively asked, "Did the sea-view villa give you the courage?"
"Self-sufficient," Gu Suixing said calmly, then weighed Lu Fengqing in his hand. "Is it filled with lead?"
Lu Fengqing retorted angrily, "Gu Suixing, who are you implying is fat?"
Gu Suixing: "No making noise in public places."
Lu Fengqing's eyes widened slightly. "You think I'm noisy?"
"..."
Gu Suixing simply stopped talking and let her ramble on.
While Lu Fengqing went inside to have her X-ray taken, Assistant Fang stepped forward and whispered, "Madam just called and asked you to come home tonight."
"Also," Assistant Fang paused, "Mr. Lu is hospitalized."
Gu Suixing glanced in the direction of the inpatient department, his dark eyes revealing no emotion.
The scan results came back quickly, and there was nothing seriously wrong. The doctor prescribed some topical medication and gave a few instructions.
Assistant Fang, understanding the situation, took the prescription to pay and collect the medicine.
Lu Fengqing glanced at Gu Suixing's left shoulder. "Since we're already here, why not take a look around?"
"Since we're already here," Gu Suixing said lazily, "why not get a rabies shot while we're at it?"
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Go to hell!
Just as Lu Fengqing was about to speak, she suddenly received a call from Uncle Chen, who said that Grandpa Lu had come to the hospital for his routine check-up today, but he suddenly fainted after receiving a phone call and had just come out of the emergency room. He asked her to come to the hospital immediately.
As luck would have it, it was the very hospital where she was now.
Lu Fengqing's face instantly drained of color, and she instinctively ran towards the inpatient department.
"Why are you running?" Gu Suixing picked him up horizontally. "Are you a doctor who saves lives, or a prince charming who can kiss Snow White awake?"
Lu Fengqing's mind was filled with thoughts of her hospitalized grandfather, and she had no mood to argue with him.
Gu Suixing put Lu Fengqing down at the elevator entrance, took the medicine from Assistant Fang, and stuffed it into her hand. "No need for verbal thanks. When you have nothing to do, use your pig brain to think of a way to 'thank' me for my hard work from last night until now."
"You're the pig-brainer!" Lu Fengqing took off her sunglasses and threw them back at him, then pressed the close button on the elevator.
Gu Suixing calmly instructed, "Compile a list of the projects Tang Xingzhou has and send it to my email before dinner."
Assistant Fang nodded in response: "Yes."
Gu Suixing asked, "Is the person still alive?"
Having worked under Gu Suixing for many years, Assistant Fang was used to her boss's rambling questions and had learned the art of replying: "...Not dead."
Gu Suixing turned around and said, "Send it to Lu Fengyang and tell him to give me an explanation within three days."
Assistant Fang: "Yes."

Upon arriving at the inpatient department, Lu Fengqing first met the attending physician of Old Master Lu.
"The old man's health was not good to begin with, and even though he is out of danger, his condition is not optimistic... It seems that the latest he will die is the end of the year, so the family should be prepared."
Birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural course of life. Lu Fengqing knew that day would come, but she never thought it would come so soon.
Lu Fengqing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and arrived at the door of the ward, almost bumping into her aunt Dou Meijuan who was coming out of the ward.
Dou Meijuan looked a little tired. When she saw her, she simply said, "Spend some time with your grandfather. I have things to do at the company, so I'll be going now."
Lu Fengqing nodded and went into the ward.
The old man looked very unwell and lay weakly on the bed, a sight that made Lu Fengqing's heart ache.
Uncle Chen gently reminded him, "Sir, Miss has come to see you."
Grandpa Lu turned his head with some difficulty, calling out his granddaughter's nickname: "Niannian, Niannian."
Lu Fengqing walked over quickly and grabbed the old man's outstretched hand. "Grandpa, I'm here."
Looking at his granddaughter's face, which so closely resembled his deceased daughter, tears welled up in Grandpa Lu's eyes. "My Sisi met the wrong man, and so did my Niannian..."
Lu Fengqing immediately guessed that her grandfather knew about Lu Yuhan and Tang Xingzhou. "Grandpa, I'm fine. I'm not sad at all. You shouldn't be sad either."
The old man affectionately stroked his granddaughter's hair, saying, "There are many good men in the world. Niannian, don't be discouraged, don't despair, and never... never follow in your mother's footsteps. Your grandfather is getting old, and I just want to see our Niannian get married in style before I go to see your grandmother."
In his early years, he and his wife were busy with their business and couldn't take care of their children. Their sensible eldest daughter raised their two younger brothers.
But by the time her two younger brothers grew up, her eldest daughter was also getting old.
She finally found someone she liked, but she was unlucky in love and ended up getting pregnant out of wedlock, suffering from depression, and attempting suicide.
His granddaughter lost her parents at a young age, so he and his wife raised her and made up for all the guilt they felt towards their daughter by raising her.
I thought I could raise my granddaughter very well, but I never expected...
Lu Fengqing was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Grandpa, I'm all alone..."
Old Master Lu interrupted her, "Are you still thinking about that boy from the Gu family?"
