Chapter 105 She chose his greatest love
Gu Xingnian's hand gripped the knife hilt firmly, her eyes gleaming with a ruthless, desperate light.
"Senior brother, you know that no one can stop me from doing what I want to do." Her voice was not loud, but every word was clear, with a resolute determination to destroy everything. "I know what kind of harm will kill a person the fastest. If you don't want me to bleed on the spot, let me go."
Lu Lie panicked completely. He looked at the faint red mark on her neck where the blade had pressed, and his heart felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.
"Fine! Fine! I'll let you go! I won't force you!" He quickly raised his hands to indicate that he was not a threat. "Niannian, put the knife down first! Be good, put the knife down first!"
Gu Xingnian's eyes remained cold and unwavering. "Have Xinyao bring me reagent number 13."
"Okay! Okay! I'll have her bring it over right away!"
Lu Lie immediately picked up the internal phone and gave an order, his voice trembling.
A moment later, Cheng Xinyao walked in quickly, carrying a small medical insulated box. When she saw the scene in the office, she turned pale with fright.
Inside the box, a purplish-red reagent emitted a faint, cold glow at low temperatures; it was reagent number 13.
"Senior sister! What's wrong? You...you be careful, don't hurt yourself!" Cheng Xinyao cried out worriedly, her voice trembling with tears.
Gu Xingnian didn't look at her; her gaze remained fixed on Lu Lie. She reached out and took the insulated food container.
Then, she backed away step by step until she reached the door, where she suddenly turned around, opened the door, and rushed out.
Lu Lie slumped onto the sofa, his face ashen, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
He was burning with rage. "Send someone to keep an eye on her! Tomorrow, no matter what, we must take her away!"
Cheng Xinyao nodded quickly and hurried out as well.
Gu Xingnian practically rushed out of the Lu's Building.
Her steps were quick and hurried, her high heels clicking on the ground, revealing a sense of panic and desperation.
She quickly flagged down a taxi, jumped in, and said, "Driver, to Yuyuan, please hurry!"
As the car drove away, she kept looking back anxiously, clutching a silver metal insulated box tightly in her arms. The reagents inside were too important; she was even afraid that Lu Lie would chase after her and snatch them away.
At the entrance of the Lu Group, two bodyguards in black suits rushed out in a hurry, seemingly about to get into a car and give chase.
Suddenly, a figure walked over at a leisurely pace.
It was a woman, dressed in a sleek black leather outfit that accentuated her tall figure. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, which drew a cold arc in the air with her movements.
With just a few punches and kicks, the movements were so fast that only afterimages remained.
The two bodyguards who were just moments ago so aggressive were now lying stiffly on the ground, like two puddles of mud.
The woman didn't even glance at them before disappearing around the street corner.
She is Lu Qingzhao—Fu Beichen's shadow sent to protect Gu Xingnian!
The car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the Royal Garden. Gu Xingnian paid the fare and quickly walked inside.
As soon as she stepped into this familiar territory, her nerves, which had been tense the whole way, slowly began to relax.
She walked along the familiar cobblestone path.
A faint floral fragrance wafted in the air; turning through a moon gate, a bright and open space suddenly appeared before us.
A fragrant and pristine white Nianxin Pavilion comes into view.
Gu Xingnian's steps suddenly stopped. She stood there, stunned, her eyes widening slightly.
This Nianxin Pavilion...
Didn't he burn her to the ground? And then he replanted her?
Moreover, it's been taken care of even more beautifully and with more care than before.
The pure white lilies swayed gently in the breeze, releasing a refreshing fragrance.
On either side of the flowerbed, there are two huge fan-shaped carved wooden frames, on which many different colors and varieties of flowers are arranged in a staggered manner, all planted in hand-painted flower pots with exquisite patterns.
Vibrant purple, delicate pink, bright yellow, and that rare mixed purple...
Each one is clearly a rare and valuable variety.
His feelings for Jiang Kexin were truly...deeply in love!
Gu Xingnian's eyes instantly turned cold. Her heart felt heavy, as if something was blocking it.
"Madam, you're back."
The butler had already trotted over at some point and stood respectfully to the side, his voice tinged with caution.
"Young Master is in his bedroom."
Gu Xingnian snapped out of her daze and handed him the insulated box she had been clutching tightly.
"Please put this in the refrigerator immediately." Her voice was devoid of emotion. "You personally oversee it; no one is allowed to approach, understand?"
"Yes, Madam." The butler carefully took the heavy insulated box, nodded solemnly, and then quickly turned and left.
Gu Xingnian took a deep breath and slowly, step by step, walked towards the main house.
The sweet fragrance of lilies filled my nostrils.
It was the taste she used to love the most, but now it made her eyes sting and she felt like crying.
She had walked this road countless times, each time filled with joy and anticipation.
This time, however, every step felt like stepping on red-hot nails.
A sharp pain shot from the soles of my feet straight to my heart, dense and relentless.
The intense, unyielding love that once churned within her mind was no longer what it once was.
Instead, she felt a deep-seated hatred for him.
What comes to mind is his tender expression when he confessed his love to Jiang Kexin, and the pink petals fluttering in the air, beautiful yet dazzling.
What comes to mind is his ruthless and heartless face, as if he were willing to antagonize the world in order to protect Wang Huilan; and his demonic, ferocious expression when he glared at her with bloodshot eyes, fiercely questioning whether she had leaked company data...
Scene after scene, incident after incident.
Unbeknownst to her, the hatred between them had accumulated to such an extent, so deeply... so deep that it was about to devour her.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, unable to move forward an inch. This man… she hated him!
She seemed to have all her strength drained away in an instant, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up.
She slowly squatted down, clasped her hands together, and weakly pressed them against her forehead. Her eyes welled up with tears, and a burning, aching sensation shot through her nose.
Just as she was about to be overwhelmed by the despair and hatred, another scene suddenly rushed into her mind: it was Uncle Fang's vegetable garden.
In the morning light, Fu Beichen looked at the elderly couple supporting each other and at the vibrant vegetable garden.
She asked him, "Do you want to save him?"
He replied, "I would like to, but I am not a god. Medicine has its own limitations. Even the most powerful person cannot save everyone."
She then asked, "If you were God N, what would you do?"
He answered decisively: "Make the formula public! Select qualified pharmaceutical companies and authorize their production. Allow all eligible hospitals to participate in clinical trials. Save as many lives as possible!"
Those words, each and every one of them, echoed clearly in my ears.
Gu Xingnian slowly raised her face, forcing back the moisture in her eyes.
yes!
That was his greatest love.
Little D... Little D is the hope and love he gives to all families in this world who are struggling with illness.
This love should not stop because of Gu Xingnian's personal grudges and entanglements.
She took a deep breath, and the overwhelming weight that was almost crushing her seemed to be held back by something.
She stood up again, took a step, and continued walking towards the main house.
Pushing open the door to the master bedroom, it was dimly lit inside, with only a sliver of light filtering in through the pale blue curtains from the balcony.
She saw it—the figure sitting in the corner, head down...
