It all happened so suddenly that he didn't even have time to withdraw his hand...
Their eyes met.
The atmosphere instantly fell into dead silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
Gu Xiuyuan withdrew his hand.
"Did you sleep well?"
His voice was still a little hoarse, and gradually became normal later on.
"Grandma said it was already midnight when you came back yesterday."
He acted as if he had just come in, but he didn't realize that his cheeks were covered with marks from the wrinkles of his clothes.
"Oh, I came back just in time." Ji Shuyu rubbed his neck and stood up.
Gu Xiuyuan felt heartbroken when he saw how tired she was, but he couldn't say anything to show his concern. It seemed that he could only keep it in his heart.
He hypnotized himself over and over again: This is good.
…
Ji Shuyu took care of her grandmother's washing and brushing her teeth, while Gu Xiuyuan bought them their favorite breakfast.
While wiping her grandmother's face, Ji Shuyu suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
She was unwilling to accept the cruel fact that time was counting down.
Sensitively aware of her granddaughter-in-law's emotional changes, the old lady held her hand and smiled soothingly.
If it had been two years earlier, she might have been uneasy and unable to let go, but now her little girl has found her family, and she can die with peace of mind.
"Silly girl." The old man hugged her with heartache.
Although she herself was reluctant, this was the reality and no one could change it.
In the bathroom, Ji Shuyu secretly wiped away her tears.
Gu Xiuyuan came back and saw this scene, and slowly walked over.
When I was young, I always felt that I could do anything, but when I grew up, I realized that there are so many things that cannot be changed by human power.
He patted her shoulder gently, not knowing how to comfort her, unable even to give her a hug. Then, he slowly raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Click——
The door of the ward was pushed open and Gu Xiu walked in.
Seeing the two people standing "intimately" together in the bathroom, he was stunned and couldn't even control his shocked expression.
Gu Xiuzhen today is completely different from the one he was three years ago. Wearing a suit and tie, he looks like a business elite.
Three years ago, not long after Gu Xiuyuan went abroad, Xia Mei's arson was discovered.
Gu's stock plummeted, Gu Bin became seriously ill, and Gu Xiu took over the position of president temporarily.
He had exposed several major civil cases without fear of danger and had a very good reputation in Yuncheng.
Perhaps because of this, he stabilized the turbulent stock market of Gu's, and now he has established a firm foothold in Gu's.
"Brother Xiu."
Gu Xiu looked at the two people in front of him for a long time before he looked away.
He greeted Ji Shuyu with a faint smile, then looked at Gu Xiuyuan, "Xiuyuan, when did you come back?"
Gu Xiuyuan didn't respond.
Gu Xiu's hands at his sides clenched a little, as if he had long been accustomed to his ignoring him.
"I'll go in and see grandma." Gu Xiuyi hurried into the ward. "Grandma, how are you?"
His tone was full of worry, and anyone who saw it would think he was caring and filial.
"It's nothing, just my age and I'm having some issues." The old man smiled. "Did your business trip go well?"
"Yeah." Gu Xiu nodded, "But it took a while, otherwise... I should have been back two days ago."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Shuyu. He originally wanted to come back to attend the school anniversary and watch her speech, but was delayed due to some unexpected events.
"Xiuyuan just bought breakfast, let's eat together!"
Gu Xiu㫧 did not refuse, but the atmosphere was a little weird.
Seeing Gu Xiuyuan and Ji Shuyu accompanying his grandmother on either side, Gu Xiuyuan tightened his grip on the chopsticks.
He once had a place next to grandma.
But as soon as Gu Xiuyuan came back, everything changed.
He didn't even need to do anything to easily occupy that position and occupy all of Xiaoyu's attention.
…
When the old lady was in the hospital, Gu Xiuyuan's relatives and distant friends came to visit her.
This group of people grew up under the old lady's care. In front of the old lady, they were like children, trying to make her happy, and the ward was very lively.
Gu Xiuyuan had never been able to fit in, either because he had no chance or because he couldn't fit in.
As more and more people came to visit, Gu Xiu㫧 found an excuse to leave.
Gu Xiuyuan glanced at Gu Xiu'er who was leaving, then looked away for a moment and looked at Ji Shuyu who was temporarily handling work inside.
Looking at the unconcealable love in his eyes, Qin Chuan got a headache.
Since you can't let go, why torture yourself!
"This Gu Xiu has been a bit attentive to Sister Yu'er in the past two years." Qin Chuan said.
"Hasn't he always been like this?" Gu Xiuyuan didn't take it to heart.
"I think you should pay more attention to him." Qin Chuan glanced at his friend who was indifferent, "This box of Green Arrow is different from Sheng Kai's younger brother."
"That one is a real villain, and this one... is a hypocrite." Qin Chuan looked at the man's back, "I always feel that this guy is very evil, and it makes people uncomfortable to look at him."
Although they didn't have much interaction, during those years when Guo Xuan was with him, he felt that he was just a bit of a tea lover. But in the past two years, he has gradually become more active in front of people, and he also feels that Guo Xuan underestimated him a little.
It smells like... a beast in human clothing.
"The Huo family took care of him because he saved Sister Yu'er twice, and he did seize the opportunity." Qin Chuan said, "But I always feel that the care given by the Huo family is not enough to get him to where he is today."
…
Gu Xiu went directly down to the underground parking lot.
Without anyone else around, he no longer needed to hide the emotions in his eyes.
The clenched fists made a creaking sound.
He got in the car, turned on the hidden system on his phone, and dialed the number directly.
There is only one letter on the screen, K
"When will Gu Xiuyuan come back?!" He gritted his teeth, unable to hide his anger.
"Landed a few hours earlier than Ji Shuyu."
"Then why didn't I know this?!" Gu Xiu was angry.
There was a scoff from the other end of the line.
"Mr. Gu, why are you reacting so strongly?"
On the other end of the phone, K's casual tone revealed a hint of disdain.
"What happened to you when he didn't come back? Did Ji Shuyu even look at you?"
"you……"
"Gu Xiu, I want you to understand one thing: I'm following your orders, not following your commands." K's voice grew colder. "Next time you speak to me, be more polite."
Gu Xiu's hands gradually clenched.
"Tell me, if Gu Xiuyuan knew that you tampered with his medical report and caused him and Ji Shuyu to separate, saying that you would rather die than live, would he leave your body intact for the sake of your brotherhood?"
That nonchalant tone irritated Gu Xiu'er greatly.
"K, watch your attitude." Gu Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, "No matter what method I use, I want Gu Xiuyuan to leave Yuncheng."
laugh……
"I remember you said last time that he should be eliminated from Yuncheng."
K was laughing over there, as if mocking his "knowledge of the times". He couldn't get rid of him, so he just let him go.
"I remember that Gu Xiuyuan's examination results were written by you." Gu Xiuyuan reminded.
"Since you're following orders, then cooperate." Gu Xiu's expression turned cold. "What they mean is that you cooperate with me, understand?"
