Chapter 81 Scolding
Ah Feng stared at Gu Ningwei with wide eyes: "Are you saying that the person you knew is no longer alive?"
Gu Ningwei nodded, suppressing the emotion in his eyes. He took a deep breath and smiled kindly, "I won't tell you anymore. You're just a kid, you don't understand."
"Yeah." A Feng lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. He seemed to remember something and said softly, "I know the person you are talking about. His name is He Jun, right?"
"Hmm?" Gu Ningwei frowned, "How did you know?" After thinking about it, he felt relieved. It must be He Lian who told him.
He smiled and said, "You really know a lot."
Just as A Feng was about to say something, the operating room door was pushed open and a doctor came out, pushing the operating table. He asked in the corridor, "Where are He Lian's family members?"
A Feng and Gu Ningwei looked at each other, and Gu Ningwei walked over and said, "It's me."
He Lian was already fast asleep, lying quietly on the operating table.
Gu Ningwei asked: "How is she?"
"No problem." The doctor glanced at him and asked, "Are you a family member of the patient?"
Gu Ningwei said: "I am her friend."
"Friends?" The doctor frowned. "What about her family? No one has been notified?"
Gu Ningwei looked back at Afeng, who shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.
Gu Ningwei said: "We don't know her family, so we can only send her here temporarily."
The doctor stopped blaming them and turned around to busy himself with his own affairs.
The doctor in the emergency room was well-informed and used to all sorts of strange things. He called the nurse to wheel He Lian into the observation room and said to Gu Ningwei, "Since you're her friend, let me tell you. This patient has likely been taking antidepressants, and some of her health indicators are not good. If she hadn't been brought here in time, the consequences..." He glanced at Gu Ningwei and said, "It could have been very serious."
Gu Ningwei nodded.
He Lian has done this kind of thing many times, and he really has nothing to say.
The doctor looked at him again and said, "In her case, you'd better contact her family immediately. Does she often have suicidal and self-harming behaviors?"
Gu Ningwei hesitated for a moment and said, "We are not familiar with her. This was just a coincidence."
The doctor said "oh" and said nothing more.
They pushed He Lian into the observation ward and placed her there. Nurses came in and out, giving He Lian an IV drip and putting her on a monitor. They instructed Gu Ningwei, "We need someone to stay in the ward today. It's best if someone stays here with you."
Gu Ningwei nodded: "Okay, I'm here."
Ah Feng said softly, "Why don't I stay here? I..."
Gu Ningwei glanced at him and said, "Go back, you are not needed here."
A Feng said "oh" and prepared to leave. Just as he reached the door of the ward, Gu Ningwei thought for a moment and called him.
He had taken a wad of cash before leaving the house, and now he took it out of his pocket and handed it to him.
"I told you I'm not a duck..." Afeng's face flushed red and he refused to take it.
"Take it. This is what you deserve. It has nothing to do with that. I didn't say you were a duck." Ning Wei smiled, thought for a moment, then frowned and warned, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Do you understand?"
Ah Feng glanced at Gu Ningwei, intimidated by his aura, and whispered, "I know."
Gu Ningwei then warned, "You'd better not see her recently, and don't contact her anymore."
A Feng's face showed a surprised expression: "Why?"
Gu Ningwei looked at him. His eyes were sharp and his expression was serious. "Don't ask why. Just do as I say. There are only benefits and no harm. Also..." He paused and said, "Give me your contact information and I'll contact you later."
A Feng looked at his stern eyes, took out his cell phone obediently and told him the phone number.
After Gu Ningwei dialed the number, he heard the other party's phone ring. He nodded, saved the number, and said to him, "You can go now. Remember what I said."
A Feng nodded obediently, pushed the door and went out. Before leaving, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and looked back at Gu Ningwei. He saw him sitting on a chair next to the bed, with his face tilted up, looking thoughtful.
The morning sunlight shone on He Lianxing's eyelids, scorching hot and dazzling. She opened her eyes impatiently, and what came into view was an unfamiliar ceiling. She was stunned for a long time before she recognized where she was.
She wanted to turn over and take a look at her surroundings, but the wire in her hand pulled her, and she couldn't help but groan softly.
Gu Ningwei opened his eyes and leaned over to look down at her: "Awake?"
He Lian was stunned: "Why are you here?"
"You ask me?" Gu Ningwei curled the corners of his thin lips slightly, revealing a somewhat sarcastic sneer: "That's all thanks to you. Your little wolf dog dragged me out of bed and brought me here with just one phone call."
He Lian stared at him blankly, not saying anything for a while.
Gu Ningwei then sneered, "He Lian, what's wrong with you? You've been doing this for the past two times, aren't you tired? And that kid just now, did you call him here just to remind me of He Jun's instructions?"
"I didn't." He Lian avoided his gaze a little scared, "I really didn't mean for anyone to look for you."
Gu Ningwei leaned against the wall, folded his arms, and looked at her coldly: "Then tell me, what happened today? Have you not taken your medicine for a long time?"
He Lian pursed her lips and said nothing, agreeing.
Gu Ningwei said, "He Lian, others may not know your condition, but I do. Why did you stop taking the medication? Did you consult your doctor before you stopped? Send me the diagnosis. I want to know what the doctor said."
"I..." He Lian didn't dare look at him and could only stammer, "I can't take that medicine anymore. You don't know that after taking it, I can't do anything. I'm dizzy all day long and have severe brain fog. I'm afraid that if I take it again, I won't be able to paint at all. If I don't paint, what's the point of living?"
"How is it boring?" Gu Ningwei squinted at her and said sarcastically, "You have so many younger brothers, young and handsome guys, and your life is so colorful. So what if you don't paint? You're already successful and famous, a famous emerging painter. What else do you want?"
"Ah Wei..." He Lian looked at him pleadingly and whispered, "Can you please not treat me like this? I don't want to be like this either. You don't know how tiring and hard life is for me."
"Bullshit." Gu Ningwei interrupted her self-pity and sneered, "You're tired of living? You're having a hard time living? He Lian, if you tell anyone about this, will you get beaten? How much assets does the He family have? What kind of life do your parents, uncles, cousins live? What kind of life do you live? Go and see how they live. How can you have the nerve to say such things?"
"I..." He Lian wanted to argue, but she looked up at Gu Ningwei's gloomy eyes and didn't dare to say anything else. She curled up and buried her face in the pillow.
After a moment of silence, Gu Ningwei said in a deep voice, "I'm warning you. This is the last time. You should take your medicine, see a doctor, and get treatment. If you cause trouble like this again, don't come to me. I don't owe you anything."
He Lian hummed softly, sniffed, and after a while, she quietly defended herself, "I really didn't mean to do that today. Someone threatened me today..."
"Threatened you? Who?" Gu Ningwei asked with a frown.
"I don't know him either." He Lian said
She didn't know the man named Xie Ming today, and she didn't know how he knew her contact information. However, as an investigative reporter and a big V in self-media, it was easy for him to know the contact information. But He Lian didn't know why he was staring at her gallery.
She hadn't been to that gallery for a long time. All matters were handled by her agent Yang Yun, and the group had sent a manager to help manage it.
He Lian didn't like to be associated with the He family's business and had refused it before, but her grandfather said that neither she nor her agent were in business and didn't understand the clerical work like finance and taxation, so he wanted to send someone to help her manage it.
He Lian couldn't go against his wishes, so she had to let them do whatever they wanted. She herself never went.
But unexpectedly, Xie Ming knew about it and said that once the information in his hands was exposed, it would be enough to ruin He Lian's reputation.
He Lian was deeply shocked, and thinking back on the past, she felt heartbroken.
Gu Ningwei was silent for a moment, then softened his tone, "Where did you find Afeng? Is he reliable?"
"Where else?" He Lian said, "I asked Yang Yun to find a model online. She showed me his photo, and as soon as I saw his photo, I..."
Gu Ningwei snorted: "Then she really is a model. That guy didn't lie."
"Awei, I actually..." He Lian opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
Gu Ningwei glanced over indifferently without saying a word.
There were footsteps coming and going outside the ward. The doctors and nurses had come to work. The corridor was bustling with people coming and going in an endless stream.
Gu Ningwei stood up and looked down for a while, "Send Yang Yun over, I need to go back."
After he finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the ward and left. When he passed by the doctor's office, he paused and hesitated for a moment, but still left.
When Gu Ning and Gu Ningwei returned home, the house had already been cleaned and the clothes and sheets had been thrown into the washing machine and washed and dried.
Han had already left, leaving his newly bought bag on the coffee table unopened. He stared at it for a while and smiled silently.
As the mid-year sales promotion is approaching, although luxury brands have never looked down on the domestic price war, they still have to put on a show and give back to old customers.
Gu Ningli received a phone call from the brand inviting her to visit the store and take back the gift given by the brand.
The weather was hot and humid, and Gu Ningli had been feeling listless these past few days and didn't want to go out, so she made an excuse to refuse. The other party said, "Miss Gu, come and visit. Your brother came over a few days ago, and his girlfriend is very beautiful."
"My brother? Gu Ningwei?" Gu Ningli was surprised. Gu Ningwei never cared about these things and bought luxury goods only as gifts.
"Yes, Mr. Gu came here to buy gifts. He also bought a bag for his girlfriend..." Qiu Min and Gu Ningli were very familiar with each other and spoke without any reservations.
"Buy a bag? What kind of bag?" Gu Ningli asked.
"It's just a small vegetable basket."
"A vegetable basket? He just bought someone a vegetable basket? How stingy." Gu Ningli sneered.
"Yeah, I originally wanted to recommend it to her. After all, Mr. Gu is also our VIP, but his girlfriend refused to sell anything. Mr. Gu persuaded her for a long time..." Qiu Min smiled, "She is a very honest person."
"A real person?" Gu Ningli couldn't help but snort. "That female companion of his is really scheming. She's trying to play the long game and get a bigger fish. She's planning to get into our house."
"Ah? Is that so?" Qiu Min was shocked.
Gu Ningli said disdainfully, "She doesn't even think about who she is. She's just a gold digger. My brother has treated her very well, yet she's still greedy."
