Ji Shuyu was startled by the sudden sound.
The bedroom door was ajar, and the light of a night light shone through from inside.
She originally wanted to leave, but the sound just now really made her uneasy, so she gently pushed open the door and walked in.
The bedside lamp was on. Gu Xiuyuan was lying on the bed with his arms hanging down. The bang just now should have been the water cup knocked over.
"Gu Xiuyuan?" She said softly.
The man lying on the bed didn't move. In the dim light of the night light, I looked at his slightly sweaty hair.
Could it be a fever?
"Are you feeling unwell?" Her voice was tinged with worry, and she reached out to test his temperature before she felt relieved.
She breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't bear to leave him alone, so she pulled the quilt over him, then gently lifted his arm and put it back on the bed. The wound on his hand caught her sight.
In an instant, her heart constricted violently, and the hand holding him trembled uncontrollably.
How could he be injured like this!
She was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took out the first aid kit from the cabinet beside her.
She blew gently on the wound while applying medicine to him.
Every time his fingers retracted, her heart ached a little, and finally tears were about to fall.
"Are you sad?"
Ji Shuyu was startled by the sudden grabbing of her hand and the sound next to her ear.
Looking at the man who opened his eyes with a clear look in them, she instantly realized that he had been awake since she came in.
Maybe even the noise was made to lure her in.
"You feel sad." He said confidently.
At this moment, the tears in her eyes were irrefutable evidence.
Ji Shuyu clenched her fists tightly, feeling angry and embarrassed.
Seeing her so useless, was he feeling proud?!
She said that they had drawn a clear line between them and would not interfere with each other, but she would still feel sad and upset because of his minor injuries.
Ji Shuyu really felt that she was stupid. She pulled her hand away coldly and stood up.
"Xiao Yu." Gu Xiuyuan called her, but he was a little slow to get up, and only caught up with her when he reached the door.
"So, you did it on purpose!" Ji Shuyu clenched her fists tightly. "Are you so proud of yourself?"
"No..." He pulled her aside to explain.
"What is that?"
She asked back, but he fell silent.
Ji Shu's tone was full of laughter, and for a moment he didn't know whether he was angry at his deception or blaming himself for not being smart. He just felt that standing there and listening to him say this was hopelessly stupid.
"Get out of the way." She pushed him.
"I don't." Gu Xiuyuan said, stretching out his arms to hug her.
"I said get out of the way." Ji Shuyu roared and pushed him away with all her strength.
Gu Xiuyuan was pushed back a few steps and his body hit the open door with a thud.
He groaned in pain. This time, Ji Shuyu strode out without looking back. Soon, the sound of a door slamming in the guest room was heard.
Bang——
Gu Xiuyuan held on to the door panel to steady himself, and it took him a while to catch his breath. He cursed the little girl in his heart for being so cruel.
But after a moment, he chuckled happily again.
Xiaoxiao was so sad, but she pretended not to care.
I really wanted to hold her in my arms, tell her that I was fine, and ask her not to leave.
But now, he can't do that.
Slowly closing the door, he returned to the bed, then slowly lay back down. Only when all the movements stopped did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
I had just woken up from thirst and was about to reach out to grab the water cup, but every movement of my back caused pain, and my hand shook and the cup fell to the ground. I never expected that she would hear it by chance.
If she saw the injury on my back, she would definitely be sad again.
Knowing that she would feel sorry for him, even if his father hit him hard today, he felt it was worth it. Finally, he sighed in his heart: He is his biological father, there is no doubt about it.
…
Gu
As soon as Gu Xiuyuan entered the room, he saw his mother sitting in the office.
At this banquet, the relationship between the Gu family couple once again became a legend, and Gu's stock price soared. Shouldn't she be busy with various business entertainments at this time?
"What's the matter with you?"
"I can't find you by phone. If I don't come here, how can I see you?" Xia Mei said coldly. "Did your father hit you because of the Zhao family incident?"
Gu Xiuyuan said nothing, slowly took off his coat, and then sat down.
"The Zhao family's affairs end here." Xia Mei ordered.
"Impossible." He refused calmly and decisively.
"Gu Xiuyuan!" Xia Mei shouted. "The Zhao family, that's a partnership your grandfather has had since the beginning."
"If it weren't for Grandpa's face, it wouldn't be as simple as withholding the goods." He looked up at his mother. "Don't you know what kind of person he is?"
"you……"
"You two are truly my real parents," Gu Xiuyuan laughed. "One of you took my wife to a dinner party with ulterior motives, and the other killed his own son for a beast."
When the cane hit his back hard, he was almost knocked to the ground by the force.
"Don't worry about this anymore," Gu Xiuyuan said. "Just continue attending banquets and parties with my dad and maintain your image."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I just want you to know that I'm hitting you for the sake of you." He looked at his mother seriously.
My father didn't know why he had attacked the Zhao family, so when the other party came to my father to plead for mercy and was rejected by him, my father got angry on the spot.
"Gu Xiuyuan, the Zhao family is not what it used to be, but it's not something anyone can manipulate."
"If he doesn't behave himself, then in the future, Yuncheng, the Zhao family will be at the mercy of others."
"You!" Xia Mei was furious.
Seeing that he was determined not to back down, she stood up angrily, took a few steps, then stopped and looked back at him.
The father and son are the same, they can be both ruthless and affectionate to the extreme.
"I don't care whether your defense is sincere or not, but this... is good for everyone."
After Xia Mei closed the door and left, Gu Xiuyuan slowly lowered his shoulders and frowned in pain.
Zhou Rui came in and quietly observed his expression: "Boss, let's go to the hospital!"
Gu Xiuyuan shook his head, "Find someone to keep an eye on the Zhao family and don't let them mess around."
"Boss, why don't you tell the young lady..."
"Just follow quietly and don't disturb her."
He didn't want her to know these things, she just needed to do what she wanted to do.
Zhou Rui understood and then stepped out.
Su Yan called at this time. He rubbed his temples and then handed the phone over.
…
cafes
Su Yan was reminiscing with her former "friend" whom she met at the Gu family's banquet.
Even if Xia Mei blocked the media reports, what would happen? Who at the banquet hadn't seen Xiu Yuan risk everything for her?
"Sister Su Yan, you and Master Gu have a really good relationship." Xia Zhenzhen flattered, "For so many years, Master Gu hasn't seen any other girls around him."
Su Yan just chuckled. She wasn't familiar with Xia Zhenzhen; she only knew her as some middle-class lady who had always had feelings for Qin Chuan. This approach was simply to exploit her relationship with Xiu Yuan and get closer to Qin Chuan!
Because of her?
I wanted to roll my eyes to the sky in my heart, but I responded politely.
Because of this woman's flattery and fawning, she felt extremely comfortable.
Moreover, it would be a shame not to use such a stupid person as a knife.
Originally, she had been angry that Gu Xiuyuan didn't answer her calls, but when she heard her gossip about the Zhao family, Su Yan suddenly realized that she had found her "next step" target...
