Chapter 731: He Has a Knot in His Heart
Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, a look of understanding flashed across Gu Jingyi's eyes.
They are a family.
Lu Ye explained, "My wife is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and my maternal grandfather is the renowned Dr. Ye. Your condition requires the cooperation of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, so my wife is also one of your attending physicians."
"I see."
Gu Jingyi is still very weak. He had been arguing with Lu Shan all day, talking too much and expending too much energy.
He was completely exhausted.
It's especially mentally exhausting.
He said to Lu Ye, "Lu Ye, there are some work-related matters I'd like to discuss with you privately."
Upon hearing that Gu Jingyi wanted to talk to Lu Ye about work, Bai Zhi tactfully pulled Lu Shan aside and asked her to leave the ward with her.
However, Lu Shan looked puzzled. Shouldn't work-related matters be reported to the leader? What was she talking about with Lu Ye?
But Bai Zhi still pulled her out of the ward.
After the two left, Lu Ye looked at Gu Jingyi and asked, "Battalion Commander Gu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Gu Jingyi said succinctly, "Let Lu Shan go back and not stay here any longer."
"Why?" Lu Ye frowned slightly.
"In what capacity did she stay here to take care of me?"
Gu Jingyi said coldly, "I've already broken up with her. I don't need her care, and I don't want to owe her anything. I don't know what she's thinking, why she insists on staying here to take care of me, and I don't want to say anything unpleasant to her. You're her brother, and I hope you can persuade her not to stay here and wallow in self-pity."
"Self-satisfaction?" Upon hearing these four words, Lu Ye's expression immediately turned serious. He didn't care that Gu Jingyi was his superior, nor did he care that Gu Jingyi was a wounded patient who had just been out of danger.
If he were a healthy person, he would not hesitate to punch him twice at this moment.
His face was grim, and his tone was icy. "Gu Jingyi, do you know what you're saying? Anyone can say things that hurt my sister, but you're the only one who can't."
He stood looking down at him from the bedside, sneering, "Do you know how she's been these past two years? Ever since you went missing, she's been living in pain and torment every day."
Your family blamed her, saying she ruined your life. She herself felt incredibly guilty and took all the blame upon herself.
She's thirty-one years old this year. She bears pressure from her family and the outside world, rejecting any advances from men, silently waiting for you.
“Everyone advised her to let go, everyone said that your disappearance was not her fault, you were a soldier, you had your beliefs and principles, and she shouldn’t have to pay the price for your choices. But she just couldn’t get over it. She was like a walking corpse, only able to numb herself with work, hoping for news of you every day, and inquiring about your whereabouts everywhere. Do you know that she’s been almost obsessed for the past two years?”
Lu Ye thought of the pressure and pain Lu Shan had endured over the past two years, and looking at Gu Jingyi's attitude towards Lu Shan, he felt even more sorry for her. "Now that we've finally waited for you to come back, you actually say she's just being self-indulgent?"
Gu Jingyi's emotions were clearly affected by Lu Ye's words.
She is still single.
She had been waiting for him.
He sighed deeply, his eyes lowered, his voice weak and feeble, "Lu Ye, it's over between us. Now that I'm back alive, she should let go of the past. Talk to her, tell her not to blame herself anymore, and let her start a new life."
He stared at the ceiling, murmuring, "She's so outstanding, so dazzling, she deserves a better life."
But he was already ruined.
His face was ruined.
I don't know how well my leg will recover.
More importantly, he knew that he had been injected with that substance.
If you get poisoned like that, you're ruined.
He was no longer good enough for her.
Lu Ye stood with his hands on his hips, quite angry. "You're determined to get rid of her, aren't you?"
Gu Jingyi remained silent.
Lu Ye pressed further, "Are you really sure you don't want a future with her?"
“I…” Gu Jingyi lowered his eyes.
He himself has no future.
How could I dare to hope for a future with her?
Moreover, her family background did not allow her to be with him.
Whether he wants to admit it or not, his father...did indeed desert on the battlefield back then.
Even more unfortunately, his father turned out to be a soldier in Lu Shan's grandfather's army.
Therefore, they have no future.
Gu Jingyi's negative attitude infuriated Lu Ye.
He said, "If you've really thought it through, I'll let her go now. You're right, since you've come back alive, she really shouldn't blame herself or feel guilty anymore."
"Even if you went on a mission out of spite because of what she said two years ago, now that she has performed surgery on you and saved your life, it can be considered that she has repaid your kindness."
Also... I want to tell you that the poison in your body needs my wife to help you detoxify. She and her grandfather are experts in this field. Since you want to distance yourself from my sister, it means you don't want to have anything to do with our family.
"In that case, I'll have my sister and my husband return to Nancheng tomorrow. The poison in your body can be treated by the doctors at the military hospital."
"Um."
Lu Ye, “???”
Does this kid still not realize how serious things are?
He already said that his wife is an expert in detoxification.
Who in the military hospital would know how to detoxify the drugs in his body?
Of course, if he said these words himself, it would be considered a threat.
He didn't say anything more. "Battalion Commander Gu, you should get some rest. I'll persuade my sister to go back to Nancheng tomorrow."
After speaking, he took a long stride and left the ward.
As soon as Lu Ye left, the ward fell into a deathly silence.
Gu Jingyi lay stiffly on the hospital bed, his eyes filled with despair.
........
As soon as Lu Ye left the ward, Lu Shan couldn't wait to turn around and walk back into the ward.
Lu Ye grabbed her arm.
"Sister, don't go in yet."
Lu Shan asked in confusion, "Why? I need to go take care of him."
“He doesn’t need your care for now,” Lu Ye stopped her and said. “I think he has a problem with him. Even if you take care of him, he won’t change his mind.”
“If you really want a future with him, then come with us first, and we can discuss this further.”
Bai Zhi also advised, "Sister, just listen to Lu Ye. Anyway, Battalion Commander Gu is lying there, and he can't run away anytime soon."
Lu Shan realized that her relationship with Gu Jingyi seemed to have reached a dead end. Gu Jingyi was determined to sever ties with her, and going in now wouldn't change anything.
The atmosphere will only become more awkward.
She also wanted to know what Gu Jingyi and Lu Ye had talked about earlier.
What exactly is the knot in his heart?
With that thought in mind, she left with them.
Lu Ye rode his motorcycle and took Bai Zhi and Lu Shan back to the family compound.
"Sister, we're home." Bai Zhi happily took Lu Shan's arm and introduced her to everything in the family compound.
"We live on the second floor, let's go upstairs."
Lu Ye locked the motorcycle and said to Bai Zhi, "You guys go home first. I'm going to Political Commissar Zhang's house. I'll be back in a bit."
