Fang Cheng tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
He pondered for a while, then put on his clothes and went out.
They knocked on Gu Xingci's door.
Gu Xingci's leg was broken and never put back on. Sister Hong treated his wound in order to get a better price for it.
I can still walk with a limp.
It hurts a lot when I walk.
Gu Xingci has been enduring the pain these past few days.
Hearing the knock on the door, Gu Xingci hesitated for a moment: "Who is it?"
During the days he was in the hands of human traffickers, he lived in constant fear, no better than when he was in the hands of enemy agents.
At this point, they had become like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow.
"Gu Xingci, it's me. Can we talk?" Fang Cheng said softly.
"There's nothing to talk about." Gu Xingci was about to get out of bed, but when she heard it was Fang Cheng, she stopped moving and her face darkened.
"You must have heard about our family's situation, right?" Fang Cheng was unwilling to accept this; he didn't want to be locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Shen family.
That would completely ruin his future.
Gu Xingci twitched the corner of his mouth: "Never heard of it."
He was on an island, focusing solely on his research.
They completely ignored everything else.
“My parents are divorced, and Fang Zhen has nothing to do with us anymore,” Fang Cheng said helplessly. “The one who has a grudge against you is Fang Zhen.”
He had long regretted his actions.
Lu Yi regretted it when she divorced him.
After arriving in the Northwest, Fang Zhen's actions towards Su Jiaojiao, including her unreasonable tantrums, became increasingly repulsive.
Fang Cheng would rather not have a sister like that.
He felt that his parents' divorce and letting Fang Zhen go with Bai Manqi was the right choice.
This surprised Gu Xingci: "You're willing to do that?"
The Fang family dotes on Fang Zhen like crazy, without any regard for right or wrong.
This is what makes Fang Zhen so lawless and capable of doing anything.
Of course, there's also the Bai family.
Fang Zhen wouldn't dare to do that without someone backing her up.
“There’s nothing to be reluctant about. The Fang family has come this far. If we’re reluctant now, the Fang family will be gone.” Fang Cheng spoke from the bottom of his heart.
They are very clear-headed now.
Gu Xingci sneered: "It's too late, isn't it?"
The entire Fang family has been relocated to the far northwest.
Fang Cheng didn't reply; it was indeed getting late.
But they're already like this; if they're trampled on again, they might be completely ruined.
Knowing that Gu Xingci disliked him the most, Fang Cheng didn't press the matter further.
Instead, he left the guesthouse and stood alone on the street, looking at the sky.
It was very quiet at night, with few pedestrians around.
Of course, he didn't give up.
If he could heal Old Master Gu, then he could heal Gu Xingci's leg as well.
Having a limp can have a significant impact, affecting not only travel and appearance, but also causing considerable inconvenience in daily work and life.
However, Gu Xingci's leg had been broken for more than ten days, so returning to the island would take a considerable amount of time.
In fact, Fang Cheng wasn't entirely confident.
He thought of Su Jiaojiao.
He believed in Su Jiaojiao's medical skills.
Su Jiaojiao didn't wake up until it was broad daylight.
Fu Jingchen was quite restrained last night.
When Su Jiaojiao woke up, she saw breakfast on the table, along with a note left by Fu Jingchen.
He told her to eat breakfast first, and then he went to the police station and called home to let them know he was safe.
Breakfast was quite plentiful, including steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and scallion pancakes.
Of course, Fu Jingchen also bought a portion for Gu Xingci and Fang Cheng, and told them to eat in their respective rooms and not to disturb Su Jiaojiao.
