Chapter 52 Recuperation at Lingjiang Manor
Twenty minutes later, the helicopter landed smoothly at Lingjiang Manor.
Located just 20 kilometers from downtown Haicheng, this place boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, and offers a wide view.
It was also very convenient for Fu Beichen to return to the company and handle company affairs.
This was a mountain he bought years ago, originally planned to be developed into a top-tier resort.
Later, when his grandfather's health deteriorated, he had this manor built, nestled against the mountains and beside the water.
Inside, there are meticulously maintained luxury gardens, organic fruit and vegetable gardens, and even a horse farm, exuding a tranquil and luxurious atmosphere perfect for relaxation.
Unfortunately, the old man is nostalgic and doesn't like living here, preferring to stay in the old house.
This huge estate has remained empty ever since.
The hatch opened with a "whoosh".
Fu Beichen leaned down and used his long, slender fingers to unbuckle Gu Xingnian's seatbelt.
He put his arm around her and was about to pick her up.
Gu Xingnian shoved him hard, her tone curt: "I can walk by myself!"
Fu Beichen raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything, just stared at her.
Gu Xingnian bit her lip and struggled to stand up.
As soon as her right ankle touched the ground, a piercing pain struck, her body went limp, and she fell forward uncontrollably!
Fu Beichen reacted quickly, stretching out his long arm to catch her steadily in his arms.
He lowered his head, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Oh? So, you want to throw yourself into my arms?"
A warm breath brushed past her ear.
Gu Xingnian's face flushed red instantly, both angry and annoyed.
"Let go of me! Let Assistant Lin help me up!"
Lin Qi, who was standing to the side, silently craned his neck, just about to step forward.
Upon meeting Fu Beichen's icy gaze, he immediately shrank back, forcing a standard professional smile onto his face.
"Madam, it's really unfortunate. I injured my wrist yesterday while moving things, and I can't use my strength right now. This kind of strenuous work, Mr. Fu, will have to do it himself. I'll clear the way for you!"
Fu Beichen ignored her struggles, picked her up in his arms, strode off the helicopter, and headed straight for the main building of the villa.
At the villa entrance, the servants, having already received the news, respectfully lined up in two rows, heads bowed.
"Good morning, sir! Good morning, madam!" The unified voices rang out in the empty courtyard.
Gu Xingnian felt a little uncomfortable with this scene. Her lips moved, but she swallowed back what she wanted to say.
Forget it, there's no point in talking to this jerk.
Fu Beichen carried her without any obstruction, going straight upstairs to a surprisingly large bedroom.
He carefully placed her on the soft, large bed.
Gu Xingnian glared at him unhappily. "Fu Beichen, are you trying to imprison me? I want to go back to my apartment!"
"The environment here is very good, suitable for recuperating. When you can run on your own again, I will take you back."
It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone or muscle!
"No, that's too long!" Gu Xingnian thought for a moment. "I'll stay here for a few days at most, and I'll decide when to go back!"
She really needs to avoid the Chris family, at least to ensure the summit ends smoothly.
It seems she won't be able to attend the summit.
Afraid that she would get angry again, Fu Beichen nodded, "Okay!"
He turned around and took out a brand new set of cotton loungewear from the dressing room.
He placed the clothes beside her and asked in a low voice, "Can you change by yourself?"
He paused, then added, "Or, I can call a servant in to help you."
Gu Xingnian immediately gripped her clothes tightly, looking at him warily: "I can!"
Fu Beichen gave her a deep look, said nothing more, and turned to walk out.
But he didn't go far; he leaned against the wall outside the door and waited quietly.
It was quiet inside.
Suddenly, a sharp "clang" shattered the silence!
Fu Beichen's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in!
The sight before him stunned him for a moment.
Gu Xingnian had already changed into her beige loungewear and was standing on one leg, somewhat disheveled, as she jumped out of the bathroom door.
On the ground, a glass was smashed to pieces.
Seeing him rush in, a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she explained softly:
"Um... I just accidentally knocked something over."
Fu Beichen's tense expression relaxed, and he took a few steps forward, picking her up again without saying a word.
"Clumsy," he muttered, then picked her up and turned to walk downstairs.
Downstairs, a sumptuous breakfast, a fusion of Chinese and Western styles, has already been laid out.
A maid brought down the chicken soup. "Madam, this is a soup that the eldest young master specially ordered to be made for you."
Gu Xingnian's face immediately darkened, and she said nothing.
Fu Beichen waved his hand, signaling her to step back.
"What happened before will never happen again. The people here are very clean; they were all personally selected by Lin Qi. If there are any problems, I will personally twist their heads off!"
Lynch: I have reason to suspect you're jealous of how good-looking my head is.
Fu Beichen already knew about what happened at the Imperial Garden. Zhu Yongmei was dishonest, which was why she suffered these misfortunes.
He would never let the same thing happen a second time.
In addition, the security here is top-notch; not even a fly can escape the electric fence.
Gu Xingnian lowered her head and drank a few mouthfuls of meat porridge, not wanting to say anything.
My heart feels heavy!
Fu Beichen placed a glass of milk in front of her, saying, "You're not eating enough. You can drink some milk to supplement your nutrition."
Gu Xingnian gave him a cold look and put down her spoon.
Just then, Lin Qi led two doctors in, followed by two nurses.
"Mr. Fu, this is Dr. Lu, who is treating your wife's wounds, and Dr. Dong, the nutritionist, who is in charge of helping your wife recover."
Gu Xingnian spoke first, "Assistant Lin, please address me as Miss Gu from now on."
Lynch: "......."
If he were called Miss Gu, would he still be able to save his head?
Fu Beichen said, "It's just a form of address; you can call me whatever you like!"
What a double standard!
Lin Qi quickly spoke up, "From now on, everyone must take good care of Miss Gu!"
"Yes!" the servants responded in unison!
Gu Xingnian waved to Dr. Dong, "Could you help me back to my room?"
Dong Yu quickly reached out to support her, "Of course, I'll help you, but please be careful."
Dong Yu put her right arm over her shoulder, wrapped her left arm around her waist, and then led Gu Xingnian up the stairs step by step.
Seeing this situation, Fu Beichen's face darkened completely.
Lin Qi inwardly cried out in alarm, "I should have known better than to hire a female doctor."
They stole the boss's job!
As they walked, Dong Yu asked, "Miss Gu, is there anything you particularly like to eat, or anything you don't like? I'll customize a menu for you based on your tastes."
Gu Xingnian calmly replied, "I'm not a picky eater, but I'm allergic to milk!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Beichen's face turned as black as ink.
What kind of information did Lu Qinglin investigate that he missed such important details?
Looks like he doesn't want that dog's head anymore!
Lu Qinglin: Why does my neck feel so cold?
Lin Qi: Lao Lu, be more careful. Aren't you afraid the boss will call the author and kill you off?
Lin Qi quickly instructed the housekeeper, "Miss Gu... cough, Madam is allergic to milk, please be careful, from now on, do not serve any food containing milk."
After saying that, he quickly took out his tablet and wrote a note.
Fu Beichen suddenly remembered the camera and headed towards the study, with Lin Qi quickly following.
In the study, Fu Beichen tapped his long, slender fingers a few times, and the video footage instantly filled the entire screen.
