Following Su Yan's scream, she fell backwards.
"Yanyan~" Gu Xiuyuan reached out to pull her, and Su Yan was pulled back.
At the same time, Ji Shuyu felt a sharp pain in her ankle, and before she could even make a sound, her body fell down the stairs.
“Xiao Yu!!”
Following this scream, Ji Shuyu was embraced by someone, one hand protecting her head and the other hand protecting her waist, and the two of them rolled down the stairs.
In her mind, she saw Gu Xiuyuan holding Su Yan standing on the stairs...
He was wearing the red suit she had chosen, and standing next to the bright and beautiful Su Yan in red, they were so well matched, so perfect together...
She once again clearly realized that she had never belonged to this class, just like she and Gu Xiuyuan, who had always been worlds apart.
At this moment, falling from the clouds, she finally returned to the earth that belonged to her.
"ah!"
Someone rolled down from upstairs, and the guests screamed in surprise.
The two rolled a distance on the spiral staircase, and the man reached out and grabbed the stair railing tightly, and the two stopped rolling...
"Xiao Yu."
Gu Xiuyuan was shocked. He hurried down the stairs, rushed to Ji Shuyu, and helped her up worriedly.
"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked, calling downstairs anxiously. "Doctor!"
Ji Shuyu was still in a daze, her ears were buzzing and she couldn't hear anything.
"Xiao Yu?" Gu Xiuyuan looked at Ji Shuyu, who was pale with fear. "Speak, is there any pain?"
Ji Shuyu gradually came back to her senses, looked at his anxious expression, and coldly pushed his hand away.
Since I didn't choose her in the beginning, I don't have to choose her in the future.
She never wanted to be second best to him again...
She supported herself on the steps, slowly turned around, and looked at the person who fell down the stairs with her.
"Brother Xiuwen!"
Looking at Gu Xiuwen lying on the stairs, she was shocked.
Gu Xiuwen was still holding the stair railing tightly with one hand, and then loosened it stiffly, as if every movement was full of pain, and his cheeks were pale from the pain.
"How are you?" Ji Shuyu wanted to help him up, and just as she touched his arm, she heard his painful, low groan.
Someone fell down the stairs and the medical team hired by the banquet came rushing over.
Because the banquet was about to begin, Gu Xiuwen was quickly moved outside so as not to delay the progress of the banquet.
From time to time, the guests could hear people talking: "That must be the illegitimate child of the Gu family..."
"What is his relationship with that adopted daughter?"
"Who knows! Such a reckless person, how could this be a legitimate relationship?"
"But who is that girl in red? Is she Mr. Gu's girlfriend?"
"Maybe! Otherwise, why would Mr. Gu be so nervous?"
Both are about saving lives, but one is "tense" and the other is not "open and aboveboard".
Oh……
Just because the person who fell was the illegitimate son of the Gu family and was just a media reporter, he had to make way for the start of the banquet and had to be moved outside for inspection.
After preliminary examination, Gu Xiuwen had a broken arm and needed to be sent to the hospital immediately.
"Xiaoyu, how are you?"
The noise here startled the old lady, and she ran over anxiously, "Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Grandma, I'm fine~" Ji Shuyu sat on the steps outside. "Don't worry, I'll take Brother Xiuwen to the hospital."
"I'll go with you, Xiuyuan." The old lady was worried.
"Grandma, how can Xiuyuan leave when the banquet is so important? Don't worry, I can go." She comforted him.
I twisted my ankle on the stairs just now, so I'm limping.
"Ji Shuyu!" As she approached the ambulance, Gu Xiuyuan ran over and grabbed her wrist. "The party is about to start, where are you going?"
"Hospital." She uttered the two words quietly, and tried to break free but was held tighter.
"I said the party is about to begin..."
"Go find your mother Su Yan." She glanced at the woman at the door. "She's looking for you."
"Then I'll go with you..."
"You are the young master of the Gu family. What's the matter with the host being absent at the Gu family banquet?"
She smiled, and Gu Xiuyuan clenched his hands even tighter.
"What about our business?" He looked into her eyes, his voice a little unsteady.
"Don't make things difficult for yourself." She looked at him with her eyes becoming increasingly calm.
"Look inside." She looked at the glamorous Gu Bin and Xia Mei in the crowd, and at the couples who seemed to be in love but not together. "That's our future."
You and me?
"I don't want to live like that."
Gu Xiuyuan's heart twitched, Ji Shuyu had already pushed his hand away and got into the ambulance.
Bang——
My heart trembled as the ambulance started slowly.
"Xiao Yu..."
"Master." The butler stepped forward to stop Gu Xiuyuan. "The banquet is about to begin. Sir, please come in."
…
Hospital
Gu Xiuwen had multiple abrasions on his body, his forehead required four stitches due to a collision, and his arm was fractured in two places, which required steel nails and a cast.
Ji Shuyu sat on a bench in the hospital, staring blankly at the door of the clinic, but her mind was filled with all the things that had happened during this period of time.
It started from when he suddenly became busy, and when he personally said that Su Yan had returned and asked her to donate blood.
It was clearly the starting point of indifference, but he suddenly changed his attitude.
Perhaps, it was the time when they reviewed their family's situation before the pregnancy checkup that led them to reach an agreement.
So everything that happened afterwards was just his way of comforting her.
He washed her hair for the first time, left Su Yan behind and came back to accompany her gently, and helped her rub her belly when she had menstrual pain. These were the ways he comforted Su Yan when she didn't need him.
For so long, everything he had done, his tenderness, the fireworks photos on their fourteenth anniversary, their fifteenth anniversary, and the ring he had given them, were all for Su Yan.
Later, the contraceptive injection incident was leaked, and then there were the "heart whispers" and the public relationship...
Oh……
She felt happy and sweet in her heart. She thought that happiness was possible, but it turned out that it was just a plan he made for her for another woman.
She closed her eyes in pain, buried her face in her palms, and tears slowly flowed out from between her fingers.
A coat was placed over her, shielding her from the chill of the night.
Ji Shuyu looked up.
"Xiaoyu, are you okay?"
Gu Xiuwen sat next to her.
"What happened?"
Ji Shuyu shook her head, "How are you? Does it hurt?"
"It's just a minor injury. I'm used to it." He smiled and took out a handkerchief from his pocket. "Is it still because of him?"
She knew that the person he was talking about was Gu Xiuyuan.
He heard that Gu Xiuwen was injured abroad and lost his memory of that period. His memory only stayed before he left the country. Therefore, he didn't know about her relationship with Gu Xiuyuan and just thought she was foolishly sad for Gu Xiuyuan and Su Yan again.
"Yeah!" She smiled and sighed. "But I won't do that again."
She couldn't always be so useless, she would definitely make herself forget him.
Gu Xiuwen looked at her and couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe her tears, but before his hand touched her, his wrist was grabbed...
