The doctor pondered over the CT scan taken by Gu Xingze.
"You... went to the construction site to carry bricks?"
Otherwise, even after much thought, doctors would be unable to understand why a simple bone fracture, which should theoretically heal in a few weeks, would remain so.
How come cracks can be seen on CT scans now?
The doctor frowned and advised, "You should put aside any physical labor you're doing for now. Your bones haven't fully healed yet. If this continues, I'll have to admit you to the hospital."
Gu Xingze became obedient and repeatedly agreed.
...
Yan Youhe leaned against Su Jin and sniffed her hair. "Sister-in-law, you smell so good."
Su Jin sniffed it casually, "Do you want the link to the shampoo?"
"...That's not what I meant."
Su Jin kept staring at her face, and Yan Youhe smiled shyly, "Sister-in-law, am I not pretty? Why are you staring at me?"
Su Jin turned on her phone with a serious expression and repeatedly compared the pictures on it. "This person looks like you."
Yan Youhe craned her neck to look, "This is me."
She frowned and yelled, "Who the hell came up with this title! It's disgusting!"
That news item was the same one from a month ago: #Gu's CEO and Yan's Daughter Spotted Together#
Su Jin stared at her in shock, "So you..."
Yan Youhe realized what she had done and quickly covered her mouth, "Sister-in-law, it was my second personality that just came out."
"I understand."
Yan Youhe resumed her previous coquettish tone, "Sister-in-law, not to be rude, but I feel my brother is really not good enough for you. With his terrible temper, he could break his own leg. We women still need a gentle and considerate man, don't you think?"
Su Jin sighed, "So what? We're already married. I must have lost my mind."
She still vividly remembers the scene when Gu Xingze proposed to her. His eyes sparkled with starlight, and the melodious piano and violin music in the restaurant blended with Gu Xingze's gentle voice.
"Perhaps you would be willing to marry me... Su Jin."
There was no one else around, and the romantic scene, coupled with Gu Xingze's cautious and expectant look, made it all even more special.
Everything was just right; Su Jin never felt any other emotions from anyone other than Lin Shi and Xie Yunhuai towards her.
Perhaps it was out of novelty, or perhaps it was because of the system, but in any case, she agreed.
"good."
It turns out that you should never make any decisions when you're not thinking rationally.
Actually, this marriage wasn't entirely without its advantages for her. At least when her parents first learned that her fiancé was this kind of person, they showed unprecedented enthusiasm and fawning.
At that moment, Su Jin thought, "It's so good to be a capitalist, to have power and influence."
No matter how disgusting a person is, they have to bow down respectfully to speak to you.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law?"
Su Jin snapped out of her daze. "What's wrong?"
Yan Youhe asked, "What was your sister-in-law thinking just now?"
Su Jin crossed her arms over her chest, thinking, "If I had Gu Xingze's advantages, I would definitely do even better than him."
Yan Youhe raised an eyebrow slightly, "It's not too late now, sister-in-law, I'll take you somewhere."
...
Su Jin stared in disbelief at the rows of male models.
"What are you standing there for? Call for help!"
One by one, the men in their early twenties bowed and greeted, "Hello, Sister Su."
The people Yan Youhe chose were of much higher quality than those Lin Shi chose last time; they were beautiful and had upright postures.
"No..." Su Jin had never seen anything like this before, and she was so frightened that she stammered, "He...didn't he say you had a girlfriend before? What?"
Yan Youhe leaned back on the sofa in the private room and laughed casually, "I've had boyfriends before too."
Su Jin nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Yan Youhe leaned closer to her and lowered her voice, "But, I only sleep with virgins."
Is this something I can say...?
Su Jin was still a little overwhelmed by all the information she had received in one day.
"By the way, there's something I'm curious about. Could you tell me, sister-in-law?"
"you say."
Yan Youhe casually asked, twirling the rhinestones on her nail polish, "Was my brother a virgin when he married you?"
Su Jin nearly choked on her water. "Cough cough cough!"
She held the water, unsure whether to put it down or continue drinking.
Finally, under Yan Youhe's expectant gaze, she said, "I feel... it should be."
Yan Youhe gave a meaningful "oh," and said, "That's more like it."
Yan Youhe reached out and picked out a few male models from the row of models who hadn't looked up to peek at her while they were talking.
"You and you stay."
One of them, quite perceptive, sat down next to Su Jin and politely greeted her, "Hello, sister."
Su Jin was so frightened that she took a step back, but this obvious action clearly hurt the other person.
The boy, who looked to be only twenty, lowered his head and dared not speak again.
Yan Youhe pinched the cheek of the boy next to her and teased, "Sister-in-law, you're not worried about my brother, are you?"
Su Jin awkwardly straightened her collar. "No, I just feel that the men here... pose a safety risk."
She deliberately lowered her voice for the last five words, but the boy closest to her still turned pale.
Yan Youhe's lips curled up slightly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I've carefully selected them all, they're very clean. Besides, you must be a little tired of my brother's face, right? These are completely different types from him."
Upon hearing this, Su Jin carefully observed the young boy beside her; he was indeed quite handsome and innocent-looking.
He became slightly interested and asked, "How old are you?"
The little boy answered in a weak voice, "Nineteen."
"Holy crap..."
Su Jin silently moved further away from him. He was so young; what if he came without his parents' knowledge? If he was discovered, she would be beaten into a foldable screen.
Yan Youhe rubbed the little boy's bottom next to her while typing a message in a chat box to send to Gu Xingze.
[Yan]: Sister-in-law, what are you doing? I just secretly hid your underwear and stockings, what are you afraid of? We're both women, what are you afraid of? Ah, that feels so good, sister-in-law, can you slap me again? And on my right cheek too. What's wrong with me diluting your foot bath water and drinking it? You called me a pervert, right? Can you say it again? Sister-in-law, you smell so good, can you hug me...? Sister-in-law, eat my flying grass!
After admiring her masterpiece, she turned off her phone with satisfaction and started talking about serious matters.
"Sister-in-law, I have a project that needs funding. Would you like to invest?"
Su Jin became interested. "What project is it? Tell me about it."
Yan Youhe explained it to her carefully, held up a seven, and frankly said that she was still short of that number.
"Seven hundred million?"
“…Sister-in-law, if I could handle a project worth 700 million, I wouldn’t have recognized someone like Gu Xingze as my brother.”
Su Jin checked her bank account balance on her phone. "If it's 70 million, then I probably don't have that much."
Over the years, the jewelry and other valuables he owned, plus the "compensation for emotional distress" that Gu Xingze paid him, amounted to approximately five figures.
Furthermore, she didn't fully understand that if she invested all that money and lost it all, she would be completely bankrupt.
