From Gu Xiuyuan's sneer, everyone received only one signal: they were finished.
This matter seems not to have passed.
Ji Shuyu was trembling constantly. Gu Xiuyuan lowered his eyes to look at the pale little girl, then turned around and quickened his pace to leave.
Su Yan followed him with difficulty, and was left here like this. Where would her face be?
But she couldn't keep up with his hurried pace at all, and gradually the trend of discussion in the crowd changed. She was jealous and embarrassed.
"Mr. Gu." The driver came forward.
"Send Miss Su back the same way she came."
After he finished speaking, he carried Ji Shuyu into his car.
Su Yan was stunned. When she came, Gu's car picked her up. She thought he was busy and that he would still accompany her despite his busy schedule. But now he was going to leave her to the driver?
What does he mean?
"Xiuyuan, Xiaoyu." She was still chasing after him, acting like a generous and caring "sister".
She couldn't lose face in front of these people, absolutely not.
Gu Xiuyuan closed the car door and Su Yan caught up with him, panting.
"How is Xiaoyu? Let me take you to the hospital!" she said, reaching out to open the door.
Gu Xiuyuan stretched out his arm and pressed it against the car body: "Let's go back."
It's not a discussion, but a notification.
Su Yan was twisted with hatred, but she still looked worried. "I'm just worried about Xiaoyu." As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe the water droplets from his face.
Gu Xiuyuan grabbed her wrist. "I don't want to say the same thing for the second time."
When he touched her bracelet, he remembered how a group of girls praised it at the banquet. Only then did he realize that it was "the only one" and understood why that little girl suddenly tore off "Heart Language".
Feeling Gu Xiuyuan staring at the bracelet, Su Yan instinctively reached out to protect it, but was a step too late.
The bracelet was broken.
"Xiuyuan?!" she cried.
"This bracelet doesn't suit you." Gu Xiuyuan said calmly, "I'll ask my secretary to choose a better one later."
As Gu Xiuyuan spoke, he had already gotten into the car.
The car started quickly.
䜭䜭's teeth were chattering, but she still had to smile and wave to the receding car, pretending that she was not left behind.
She knew that it was pointless to say more in the current situation. Instead of engaging in a useless argument, it would be better to leave herself some wiggle room and be a little more "sensible" so that he could still feel a little guilty...
But why wasn't she allowed to ride in his car?
At first, she thought he changed the car depending on his mood, but now she feels that things are not that simple.
And those men in black, they didn’t come with Xiu Yuan, so it’s because of Ji Shuyu again, right!
This is the one who protects her!!
…
Both of them were soaked, and Ji Shuyu was shivering constantly. She would definitely catch a cold if she returned to Yuyuan like this, so she drove to the nearest hotel.
After being exposed to the sun for two hours and then falling into cold water, she felt dizzy and nauseous. When Gu Xiuyuan carried her out of the car, she didn't even dare to move, for fear that she would vomit as soon as she opened her mouth.
When they arrived at the room, Gu Xiuyuan quickly ran hot water for her to take a bath, but before he finished, Ji Shuyu began to feel nauseous and vomit. Finally, she vomited until her stomach cramped and she had no strength to get up.
Seeing her in pain, Gu Xiuyuan's heart tightened and his clenched fists made a crackling sound.
"How is it?" He looked at the family doctor.
"Master, the young mistress has a bit of heatstroke and has suddenly caught a cold. Give her some anti-nausea medicine first, and then we'll see how she does. If she doesn't get better, give her an IV drip."
Hearing that he was going to get an injection, Ji Shuyu, who had already lost all strength from vomiting, immediately shrank back.
The family doctor has been in the Gu family for many years. The old lady's baby has always been well-behaved, except for the fact that she never cooperates with injections or medication.
Seeing her frightened expression, Gu Xiuyuan's heart ached. On the one hand, he felt sorry for her fear, and on the other hand, he was worried that she would not listen to the doctor and become unwell.
"Please prepare the medicine and stay across the street. I'll call you anytime if anything happens."
The doctor went to prepare the medicine, and Gu Xiuyuanzi sat down beside the bed. "Xiaoyu, let's take the medicine first, okay?"
Ji Shuyu pushed him away weakly, not allowing him to touch her.
Knowing her rejection, he did not go against her wishes, but coaxed her softly to take the medicine.
It seemed that she really didn't want to waste time talking to him or hear his voice. She even took her medicine more happily than before.
As a result, Gu Xiuyuan didn't know what he felt in his heart.
She wouldn't feel so bad after taking the medicine, but did she really hate him to this extent...
After taking the medicine, the vomiting gradually stopped. She curled up weakly in the quilt and fell asleep in a daze.
As time grew later, Ji Shuyu, who was originally sleeping soundly, began to tremble.
She kept curling up in the quilt and grabbing the quilt tightly.
It was so cold. Those people gathered by the swimming pool seemed like orphans who were watching her being bullied.
She felt as if she was back in that cold room again...
The water was so cold that her skin felt like it was being pricked by needles. She kept shrinking her body and then choked slightly.
"Daddy, don't hit me..." She murmured shiveringly, and shook her head, as if she had done something wrong, and protected her head with her arms defensively.
"Xiao Yu."
Seeing her action, Gu Xiuyuan's heart twitched fiercely, as if he saw her weak, being whipped but unable to resist. The "Daddy" she called out to please him was rewarded with an even harsher beating...
She said that the man from that family would beat people up whenever he got drunk. He got upset when she called him uncle, and beat her even harder when she called him dad. He took out his anger for not having children on her, a weak girl.
He held her in his arms with heartache, only to find that she had a fever.
"Xiaoyu, wake up."
Ji Shuyu was delirious from the fever, and the voice in her ears seemed very close, yet so vague and unreal.
She looked at it with her eyes hazy, then fell asleep again in a daze.
She had always disliked injections and medication, so Gu Xiuyuan temporarily tried to help her reduce her fever physically, first using a fever-reducing patch, then wiping her chest, back, and palms with wet wipes.
After several attempts, her body temperature gradually stabilized and her cheeks were not so red.
Gu Xiuyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he wanted to help her change her wet clothes, he touched the scar on her leg.
That was left in a car accident more than half a year ago.
The car accident was serious and many people were injured, but he was in a neighboring city due to an emergency and didn't even receive her call...
His chest felt stuffy and heavy, and he realized how many times he had disappointed her.
The cell phone rang at this moment. It was Zhou Rui calling.
"Boss, the Xia family called and said they want to apologize in person."
"They don't deserve to apologize to me in person." Gu Xiuyuan's eyes were full of coldness.
Looking at Ji Shuyu lying drowsy on the bed, and thinking of her vomiting so much that she was unable to get up, his hands clenched even tighter.
"However, since the Xia family wants to show their sincerity, I'll give them this opportunity." He suddenly changed his mind. "Send someone to the bank to exchange some coins for the amount his daughter spilled..."
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Rui took a breath silently.
"Also, go check something for me. I want to know the outcome immediately."
