Discharged on the 28th day, the Love Summer Garden created just for you.
Xiao Yan's words successfully shut Liang Yuhao up. He imagined Qi Mengying nagging and crying, dragging him to a blind date. He decisively sat down next to Xiao Yan and fawned over him, pulling on his arm.
"Xiao Yan, for the sake of our bedmate... no, our friendship, please don't betray me!"
"How can that be? It's not in line with my style for a heartless and unscrupulous boss like me to do charity work!"
Xiao Yan put down the iPad, took the hand that was on his arm from Liang Yuhao, and looked at Liang Yuhao with a smile in his eyes.
"Xiao Yan, Mr. Xiao, alright, I was wrong! I shouldn't have come. I'm going back to the company now for a meeting to expand business. You can continue to keep your wife company!"
Liang Yuhao got up and ran outside. As he passed Gu Mingxia, he winked at her and teased her.
"Sister-in-law, Mr. Xiao is truly sincere towards you! You two can stay here and take your time. Don't rush Mr. Xiao to go back to the company, really, no rush!"
He came like the wind, and disappeared like the wind. Liu Yan looked at Xiao Yan in surprise, then glanced at the door. How could Xiao Yan, that icy guy, get along so well with such a goofy young man?
This is simply not scientific! Gu Mingxia glanced at Xiao Yan, then lay down on the hospital bed inside, closed her eyes, and tried to sleep.
"Liu Yan, you go back and do your work! I don't have anything to do here anyway."
"Alright then, I won't be a third wheel and interfere with your lovemaking!"
Liu Yan, holding her bag, gave Gu Mingxia a suggestive smile, then leaned down and whispered something in her ear. Gu Mingxia playfully patted Liu Yan's face, and Liu Yan laughed as she left the ward. After she left, Gu Mingxia thought about what Liu Yan had said about uniform fetish and the game between a patient and a doctor, and unconsciously glanced out the window. After looking several times, Gu Mingxia simply pulled the blanket over her head and fell asleep without realizing it.
Gu Family Villa Garden, Lanting Pavilion.
Gu Huaikun stood in front of Nan Lan's photo for a long time, staring intently at the beautiful and elegant face in the picture.
Gu Mingxia looks a lot like Nan Lan, but she is also different from Nan Lan. Nan Lan's beauty is gentle and elegant, while Gu Mingxia's beauty has a strong aggressiveness.
"Nan Lan, don't worry, Ming Xia has grown up and knows how to protect herself! It's just... I'm a terrible father, she hates me!"
Gu Huaikun sat in the chair, his face still cold, and his tone of voice carried a hint of disappointment.
No matter what Gu Mingxia did, she was still Gu Huaikun's daughter. All fathers in the world are the same; no matter how tough they are in words, they never want to see their children suffer.
"Master, the Fourth Madam needs your help."
Lin Fu's voice came from outside the door. Gu Huaikun got up and walked out. As he opened the door, he looked back at the photos on the wall.
Nan Lan smiled sweetly in the photo, her ever-smiling eyes now resembling crescent moons. Gu Huaikun tugged at his lips, as if wanting to return a smile to the person smiling at him.
After leaving Lanting Pavilion, Gu Huaikun headed towards the southernmost house.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, the beautiful woman who had been sitting on the sofa came to greet him with a smile on her pretty face.
"Sir, I just made some ginseng and chicken soup. Would you like to have some while it's hot?"
"good."
Gu Huaikun responded sullenly and sat on the sofa expressionlessly. Qin Yueru smiled and ordered someone to serve chicken soup, then sat down next to Gu Huaikun and took his arm.
"Sir, I heard that Mingxia got into some trouble and was hospitalized. Is it serious?"
"I heard it? Who told you that?"
Gu Huaikun's voice turned cold as he pulled his arm out of Qin Yueru's grasp. He looked at her with a gloomy expression, his sharp gaze causing Qin Yueru's body to tremble involuntarily.
"No...I didn't hear anyone say that. When I was watching TV at noon...it was reported on the news..."
"Don't spread these kinds of nonsense rumors anymore!"
After saying this, Gu Huaikun left the building where Qin Yueru lived with a cold face. Watching his back, a trace of hatred flashed in Qin Yueru's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a smile.
She turned around, swaying her slender waist as she went upstairs to her bedroom. After lying down on the bed, she took out a phone from under her pillow, quickly typed a message, and sent it.
In the Huo family mansion, Huo Jialingling sat on the sofa, anxiously looking at the cold-faced woman in front of her. The woman stared at the documents in front of her for a long time, showing no intention of speaking.
"Attorney Lin, it's my son's..."
"Mrs. Huo, based on the information, the two young men of Huo are very likely to be convicted of rape."
Lin Qingge closed the document, looked calmly at Huo Jialingling, and before she could ask any questions, she pushed up her glasses and continued speaking.
"Judging from the police statements, the evidence at the scene and the circumstantial evidence are mostly unfavorable to the two young masters of the Huo family. Miss Gu's medical report is also very important. More importantly, the judge in charge of this case is a woman. You should know that all women abhor rape. Mrs. Huo, I suggest you... settle this case out of court!"
Lin Qingge also felt contempt for the Huo brothers, but for Bai Zixuan's sake, she patiently sat there and talked to Huo Jialingling about these things.
"Attorney Lin, no matter the cost, I hope you can help me win this case! Just name your price, money is no object!"
Huo Jialingling felt extremely angry whenever she thought of Gu Mingxia's confident voice on the phone, as if she was certain that Gu Mingxia would definitely come to her for negotiations.
"Mrs. Huo, I think you've misunderstood. This really isn't about money!"
Lin Qingge patiently and calmly explained that if it were any other wealthy family, she would have turned around and left long ago.
“If this case continues, both young masters of the Huo family will definitely be found guilty. Even if the judge finds them not guilty in the end, the fact that this has happened will still damage the reputation of the Huo family and the young masters! Based on the current testimonies in this case, I sincerely suggest that Madam Huo settle this privately!”
Lin Qingge's words silenced Huo Jialingling. What she said was indeed true. Even if Jackie Chan and Jackie Hu were ultimately found not guilty, the Huo family would still be implicated because of this incident.
Once the lawsuit starts, who knows how long it will drag on? By then, who knows how much of what the Huo family and Jackie Chan have done will be dug up. The more Huo Jialing thought about it, the more her brows furrowed.
No matter how unwilling she was, this time, she had to fulfill Gu Mingxia's wish and take the initiative to talk to her about how to handle this matter privately!
"I'm sorry to trouble you this time, Attorney Lin. I will transfer the legal fees to your firm."
With a smile, Huo Jialingling stood up to see Lin Qingge out. Lin Qingge, carrying her bag and several file folders, nodded to Huo Jialingling as she reached the door.
"Mr. Bai has already paid the lawyer's fees. I'm sorry we couldn't help Mrs. Huo!"
Watching the direction where Lin Qingge's car disappeared, Huo Jialingling took out her phone, dialed a number, and the call was quickly answered.
"I'm looking for Gu Mingxia."
Xiao Yan held the phone, his face expressionless, and simply handed it to Gu Mingxia, who was sitting on the sofa eating fruit.
"Gu Mingxia, what will it take for you to stop accusing my son of rape!"
Originally a request, Huo Jialingling spoke with such confidence that Gu Mingxia popped a grape into her mouth, took a small bite, and savored its sweet taste. She smiled happily and said...
"Mrs. Huo, please rest assured, I will not take anything from your Huo family. I only hope that Mr. Huo can record a short audio message for me. Of course, this recording will not cause any harm to your Huo family!"
"that's all?"
Huo Jialingling's incredulous voice came from the other end. Gu Mingxia leaned back on the cushion, her eyes smiling.
"Yes, that's all! As long as Young Master Huo makes the recording, I will immediately drop the charges."
"Okay! I'll go to the police station to bail the two brothers out and then let you know. I hope you'll keep your promise and drop the charges!"
After thinking for a while, Huo Jialing gritted her teeth and agreed to Gu Mingxia's request. After hanging up the phone, Huo Jialing called Lin Qingge again and said that she wanted to bail out the two brothers for half a day. Lin Qingge hesitated for a moment, but still agreed to her request.
Two days later, Gu Mingxia had almost fully recovered. Xiao Yan completed the discharge procedures and drove her directly to his villa in the northern suburbs.
"Xiao Yan, why did you bring me here?"
After getting out of the car, Gu Mingxia looked at him with a puzzled expression. Xiao Yan then took her hand. Gu Mingxia tried to pull away, but because of her injured wrist, she couldn't use too much force and failed.
"Close your eyes, and you'll find out soon enough."
Despite her confusion, Gu Mingxia closed her eyes. Xiao Yan held her hand and walked for a while before stopping.
"alright."
The moment Gu Mingxia opened her eyes, she felt a pang of sadness welling up inside her.
This place... is almost exactly the same as the Orchid Garden where she lived when she was a child. Gu Mingxia's eyes were filled with tears. She looked back at Xiao Yan and walked to the side of the carousel.
Her slender fingers stroked the rocking horse, and she seemed to see again the scene of her and Mingdong spinning around on it, with her mother standing not far away watching with a smile.
"This place is almost exactly the same as Lan Garden, Xiao Yan... how did you do that?"
Gu Mingxia ran to the bamboo bridge over the nearby stream, grabbed a net, and scooped up several golden carp from the water, laughing like a child.
Even the fish are the same!
Xiao Yan walked to Gu Mingxia's side, hugged her from behind, rested his head on Gu Mingxia's shoulder, smelled her familiar and pleasant scent, closed his eyes, and had a satisfied expression on his face.
"The place you used to live was called Lan Garden, but unfortunately... it was destroyed. Xiaxia, this is a palace I built especially for you, called Aixia Garden!"
Gu Mingxia stiffened, and before she could react, Xiao Yan turned her around and kissed her lips domineeringly.
His warm lips were irresistible to him. Taking advantage of Gu Mingxia's dazed state, Xiao Yan used his tongue to pry open her mouth and trace the lines of her pearly teeth. Gu Mingxia's mind went blank for a moment, and by the time she came to her senses, Xiao Yan's hands were already around her waist.
Gu Mingxia suddenly pushed Xiao Yan away, her face slightly flushed, and ran towards the swing. Xiao Yan watched her figure and smiled alluringly.
"Xiaxia, once you enter this Love Summer Garden, don't even think about leaving my world!"
I am the free-spirited Xiaxia
