Chapter 47 Gu Yanchen was heartbroken by her neglect.
However, just as Gu Yanshen grasped her arm, his phone rang.
He let go of her and walked a short distance away.
As soon as the call connected, Xiao Chang's roar came through.
"Gu Yanchen, your wife is treated like a slave by your stepmother. She went out in the rain in the middle of the night to buy porridge and got a high fever. You want to be a filial son and grandson and serve her yourself? You want to be a good-for-nothing but also want to save face. Do you want me to build a memorial arch for you to honor your filial piety?"
Gu Yanchen hung up the phone, his face expressionless. He took two steps toward the stairs and then turned back.
Ignoring Gu Lingxue at the bedroom door, he went into the master bedroom and took a set of clothes that Ji Ying usually wore, carefully putting them into a bag.
When he came out, there was an obstacle at the doorway, so he looked at her.
"You studied etiquette in Aalborg, didn't you?"
"What?"
Gu Lingxue did not understand what he meant.
"Even if you haven't studied etiquette, you should know that you can't just enter the master's bedroom. If you need anything, contact Chen Yuan. Now go back to your own place."
Gu Yanchen avoided her, took two steps, then turned back and said, "Take the pajamas you wore when you leave. She won't want the ones that others have used."
He really liked this nightgown, but it was worn by Ji Ying, which was a pity.
Gu Yanchen walked away without looking back.
Gu Lingxue gripped the lace trim of her nightgown tightly, her fingertips growing cold.
Emergency ward.
Ji Ying slept for a while, and her body temperature wasn't as high, but she still felt weak.
Xiao Chang poured Ji Ying a glass of warm water and was about to give it to her when Zhang Cheng came in with two glucose tablets.
“She needs a quick energy boost right now, and glucose is more suitable,” he said.
But Xiao Chang had a different opinion: "Why drink glucose when you have a high fever and are dehydrated? Warm water is the best thing to drink!"
Zhang Cheng wouldn't back down an inch, "Don't you understand basic medical knowledge? Glucose is a direct energy source!"
Xiao Chang didn't give him any face, "What she needs is water and rest, not for you to quickly replenish her energy and then send her to do hard labor!"
"I...I did it so that she could get better as soon as possible."
"Her body needs to be gradually recuperated."
The two stood on either side of the hospital bed.
One held a glucose cup, the other a glass of warm water; they glared at each other with tense, fighting expressions, like cockfighting.
When Gu Yanchen pushed open the door, he saw his wife being fawned over by her two bodyguards. The anxiety on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a slight hint of jealousy.
"Isn't she a patient? Can a doctor argue with a patient?"
Ji Ying opened her eyes at his voice and sat up, dragging her heavy body.
Without giving him a glance, she took the things from Xiao Chang and Zhang Cheng's hands and drank the glucose and warm water in one gulp.
Then, to the astonishment of the three, he lay back down.
Zhang Cheng and Xiao Chang looked at each other awkwardly, while Gu Yan stood frozen in place, heartbroken by her neglect.
Zhang Cheng and Xiao Chang wisely left the ward, leaving only Gu Yanchen and Ji Ying behind.
The noise outside as patients were being treated contrasted sharply with the quiet inside.
Gu Yanchen placed her clean clothes at the foot of the bed and sat down next to her.
A moment later, his phone rang.
It was Gu Gong calling.
"What's wrong with your wife? I asked her to buy porridge, and she's been gone for ages..."
"It's three in the morning, and it's windy and rainy outside. Why don't you bring your wife some porridge?"
Gu Gong was silenced by his words.
Feeling somewhat guilty, he changed the subject, "She was only taking care of my wife reluctantly in the first place, how could I know she wouldn't slack off or neglect her duties..."
"She has a high fever and is in the hospital ward. Would you like to come and see her?"
Gu Yanchen calmly interrupted him.
Gu Gong was completely at a loss for words, mumbled a couple of sentences, and hung up the phone.
Gu Yanchen put down his phone, his eyes turning cold.
Ji Ying was woken up and couldn't fall back asleep. She propped herself up, her body still burning hot, to get out of bed.
Gu Yanchen stopped her, "Where are you going?"
“Take care of your mother? I questioned her, which offended your ancestors for eighteen generations. It’s outrageous and you should atone as a slave.”
"Don't go!" Gu Yanchen frowned. "Lie down, I'll go talk to him."
Ji Ying shook off his hand and sneered.
"What are you going to say? Gamble with my bone marrow again?"
"Yingying, you don't understand the situation..."
Gu Yanchen was about to explain when Ji Ying interrupted him.
"What's going on? You're afraid your sister will be unhappy, so you're betting my bone marrow. If you win, you'll get the truth; if you lose, they'll take my bone marrow. Your sister and your mother will both be happy, and you won't lose anything. As for me, I'm just a sacrifice. That's the truth. I'm telling you for you, so you don't need to come up with any excuses to lie to me."
Gu Yanchen was provoked by her words.
Is this how you understand my situation?
"Your situation?" Ji Ying scoffed. "I'm truly guilty of disturbing President Gu's romantic night."
Gu Yanchen left.
He was so angry that he left.
The next morning, Ji Ying's temperature had returned to normal.
Chen Yuan came to her hospital room to ask if she was going to work today.
If she wants to turn things around, she should definitely go to Qingsui Power.
How else can we use this as a pretext to go to the Ruige Testing Center?
Just as I was passing by the outpatient hall, I happened to run into Lin Meizhen, who had brought her grandfather for a follow-up appointment.
Ji Ying instinctively hid her hands.
"Yingying, your grandpa said you were busy and told me not to bother you, so I took a taxi and brought him to his follow-up appointment myself. You have no idea how hard it is to get a taxi with your grandpa's wheelchair. So, how are things? You and Yan Chen have made up, right?"
Chen Yuan stared at his toes, remaining silent.
Anyone could tell that she wanted her adopted son-in-law to buy her a car.
Ji Ying pretended not to understand, "Grandpa has trouble going out, so call me in advance next time to avoid troubling others."
"It's not really troublesome, it's just that the transportation options when going out are a bit..."
Lin Meizhen was about to give a further hint when her grandfather interrupted her.
"One minute you're saying Yingying is busy and telling me not to bother her, the next minute you're talking to her nonstop. Is she actually busy or not?"
Lin Meizhen was speechless at her grandfather's words.
Chen Yuan stepped forward with a smile and said, "The old man is so wise. I asked the lab yesterday, and your medicine for this month should arrive in a couple of days. I hope you take care of yourself."
Grandpa nodded, not responding to his question, but said to Ji Ying, "You don't look well. Are you having a hard time?"
The sudden concern brought tears to Ji Ying's eyes.
"No, I just have a bit of a cold. Yan Chen couldn't come, so he had his assistant come with me to the hospital to get some medicine."
Chen Yuan nodded in agreement.
"Then you go ahead and do your work, but take care of yourself and come visit me often, okay?"
Fearing she would lose control of her emotions, Ji Ying immediately said goodbye to her grandfather and hurriedly left.
Lin Meizhen was very pleased: "President Gu is so good to Yingying, they can finally make up."
Grandpa looked at the hurried crowd and said, "Do you think I'm too old to be easily fooled?"
"Dad, isn't Ji Ying perfectly fine?"
"Her ten fingers are so red, tell me, that's not from being burned, but from deliberately dyeing them?"
Lin Meizhen: "..."
Grandpa gripped the handrail tightly, saying, "The Gu family is taking advantage of the Lin family's lack of talent."
...
After Ji Ying went to Qing Sui Power, she took the opportunity to secretly come to the Ruige Inspection Center.
It was the time to go back to work after lunch break.
Standing in the corridor leading to the testing room, she accurately found the person she was looking for based on the photo on the notice board at the entrance.
"Wang Peng!"
