Joke #213: Cousin, can you do me a favor?
"Sisters? Gu Mingxia, don't you think that's a huge joke?"
Ah Xin stood up and walked step by step to Gu Mingxia. Her heavily made-up face had a somewhat ferocious expression, but the corners of her lips still carried a bewitching and alluring smile.
She stopped two steps away from Gu Mingxia. The alluring smile on A Xin's lips turned into a mocking one. She stretched out her hands, playing with her slender fingers, and then spoke word by word.
"Are there people in this world who claim to be sisters while actually killing their own sister's mother? Gu Mingxia, are you such a hypocrite?"
A Xin suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Gu Mingxia. However, that hatred vanished in an instant, and she suddenly smiled, her alluring red lips like the greatest temptation.
"Whether you're hypocritical or not has nothing to do with me! What I'm here to do is make sure your Gu family is destroyed and your family is ruined, and make you taste the pain I went through back then!"
After hearing her words, Gu Mingxia only frowned. Indeed, there was no sisterly affection between her and A Xin, but she never thought of killing her after she returned.
But judging from Ah Xin's current attitude, she wishes Ah Xin would die sooner rather than later. All this hatred is because of what she did when she was a child. Gu Mingxia doesn't blame anyone for these things, but she feels a little uncomfortable.
"Ah Xin, I know you hate me. No matter what you do to me, I won't blame you. But please don't lay a hand on Fu Heng again. He has nothing to do with our grudges!"
Gu Mingxia's words lacked force, because she was experiencing waves of nausea again, and her face had turned very pale as she struggled to hold it in.
"Whether it's related or not is not for you to decide! Since you were able to do such a terrible thing to my mother, you should have known you would get your comeuppance. Now, all of this is because of your cruel heart, Gu Mingxia! So, you have no right to blame anyone!"
Ah Xin's words were very heartless, but Gu Mingxia knew that what she said was true. Her heart was indeed very cruel, but Ah Xin was not her, so how could she understand what she felt back then?
"If you insist on hurting Fu Heng, then I will no longer be polite to you!"
All along, Gu Mingxia's tolerance of A Xin was because A Xin was also a daughter of the Gu family. Although Gu Mingxia was reluctant to admit it, the fact was that A Xin would always be her sister!
"Whatever! I won't regret a single thing I've done!"
Ah Xin gave Gu Mingxia a cold look, then sat down on the sofa and picked up a magazine from the coffee table to read it idly.
Gu Mingxia gave her a deep look and then walked out without saying anything. But when she reached the living room door, she suddenly turned back to look at her.
"You're a member of the Longevity Cult, aren't you?"
"You've managed to find the Longevity Cult, so you do have some ability. But I advise you not to continue investigating, or you'll only end up hurting yourself!"
Ah Xin didn't even raise her head; only the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her current mood. Gu Mingxia didn't understand the meaning behind her words, but she instantly thought of the masked woman behind that video.
"My affairs are none of your business!"
After saying that, Gu Mingxia strode out of the living room. When she left the Bone Ring Villa, she leaned on the front of the car and vomited profusely. After vomiting up some bitter fluid, her stomach finally felt much better.
After getting in the car, she called Liu Qianhua while driving. After the call was connected, she spoke first without waiting for Liu Qianhua to speak.
"How is Fu Heng now?"
"He hasn't woken up yet, but the doctor said he's fine after the blood transfusion."
Liu Qianhua's tone was somewhat weak, and Gu Mingxia's eyebrows twitched, knowing that it was because she had donated blood for Fu Heng.
"Are you feeling very weak right now? Come to my room and rest. I'll be at the hospital soon. We can talk about it when we meet!"
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingxia thought that Liu Qianhua was actually very kind-hearted. If Fu Heng were to be with her, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
However, these are all just hypotheticals, because Fu Heng's attitude was very firm. Based on Gu Mingxia's understanding of him, Fu Heng was definitely not the kind of man who would give himself to someone just because he was moved.
But this is for the best, because Liu Qianhua never really liked him anyway, so she won't be saddened by Fu Heng's rejection.
According to Liu Qianhua, she came to Xiangcheng to find Fu Heng entirely to fulfill her grandfather's wish. After meeting Fu Heng, she felt absolutely nothing for this thin and weak pretty boy.
It seems that love really does depend on first impressions. Fu Heng, who is regarded as the best dream lover by countless women, is just a skinny pretty boy in Liu Qianhua's eyes. I really don't know whether Fu Heng should be happy or not!
Soon, Gu Mingxia arrived at Maria Hospital. When she reached the VIP ward area, she went to Fu Heng's ward first.
"The patient has a knife wound to the abdomen. Although the weather is not very hot now, we still need to prevent the wound from becoming infected and inflamed. For the next three days, you need to pay close attention to whether the patient develops a fever. If everything is fine, the patient will be fine. If the patient develops a fever, remember to go to the on-duty doctor."
When Gu Mingxia went in, she happened to see the doctor giving instructions to the Fu brothers. When Nan Ze saw her, he noticed that she had changed from her hospital gown into a black pantsuit, but her face was still pale, which made him a little worried.
"Thank you, doctor. We'll remember that."
"This is my business card. If the patient's condition worsens tonight, you can call me."
The doctor left a business card and left the ward. Only then did Nan Ze walk up to Gu Mingxia and ask her with concern.
"Cousin, you look terrible. Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing, it's probably just the heat." Gu Mingxia hadn't planned to let anyone know she was pregnant, and faced with Nan Ze's concern, she instinctively chose to lie. "Fu Heng hasn't woken up yet, I'll go back to the ward to check on Qianhua first."
“I’ll go with you.”
Nan Ze spoke earnestly, feeling that he should tell Gu Mingxia what Fu Heng had said before he fell into a coma.
"good."
Gu Mingxia didn't harbor much malice towards this suddenly appearing cousin, because he had now shown her absolute sincerity.
After entering the ward, Gu Mingxia saw Liu Qianhua taking a nap in another ward inside, so she didn't disturb her. After closing the door, she went to the living room outside.
"Cousin, please have a seat. I never imagined that our first meeting would be in the hospital."
Where we meet isn't the most important thing; what's important is that I have something to tell you!
Nan Ze's expression was very serious, which made Gu Mingxia nervous. She frowned and looked at him intently.
"When I went to the 24h opening ceremony today, I didn't expect to see Fu Heng being stabbed. But before he lost consciousness, he told me to help him. Although I don't know what he meant by that, I think I should tell you."
Gu Mingxia looked down at the tips of her shoes. She had never imagined that Fu Heng was thinking about her before he lost consciousness. Gu Mingxia felt that she owed more and more favors, so much so that she didn't even know how to repay them.
"Cousin, have you encountered some trouble? Is it related to the Gu family? Or the Nan family?"
It has to be said that Nan Ze is very smart; he was able to make so many connections from Fu Heng's words and Gu Mingxia's expression in just a moment.
Gu Mingxia frowned slightly. She thought about it for a long time and finally decided to take a gamble. Maybe she could find some clues from this cousin who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
With that thought in mind, Gu Mingxia immediately looked up and stared intently at Nan Ze.
"Cousin, have you been going back to the Nan family often these past few years?"
“I only come back once a year for my grandmother’s birthday, but I don’t stay for long. I always go back to Switzerland after a day or two.”
The Nan family's overseas headquarters is located in Switzerland, so Nan Ze has lived there for many years. This time, for some reason, Nan Chengyuan insisted on transferring him back to Xiangcheng from Switzerland despite the old lady's objections, and made him take charge of the domestic market work.
Although Nanze didn't understand what Gu Mingxia meant by asking this question, he still answered truthfully. However, after answering, he seemed to have discovered something and let out a loud "Oh".
“Cousin, it suddenly occurred to me that I’ve never seen Uncle take you to Grandma’s birthday parties over the years. Is there some misunderstanding between you and Grandma?”
Gu Mingxia smiled bitterly, but still chose to tell Nan Ze the truth.
“Since my mother passed away, my grandmother has had a lot of complaints about my father and me, and the Gu and Nan families have stopped communicating.”
"Oh, I see! It's probably because Grandma was too saddened by Aunt's passing. Cousin, you're not being taken too seriously either."
Nanze felt he had no right to question the old man's behavior, so he could only comfort Gu Mingxia with these words.
“Cousin, I can understand Grandma’s behavior. After all, what happened between my dad and Auntie broke her heart, and I won’t blame her. But I would like to ask you for a favor.”
"Oh? What is it? Is it to help you reconcile with Grandma? You know, my relationship with *** isn't very close either."
Nan Ze spoke up with some concern, but Gu Mingxia simply smiled and shook her head.
“I visited my grandmother recently and she got very emotional when I mentioned my mother. During the visit, a maid mentioned the eldest daughter, but my grandmother beat her up. Combined with some discoveries I made, I still believe that my mother did not die back then, and that my grandmother knew about this!”
"Auntie is still alive? That can't be!"
Nanze was clearly surprised by this, but his composure prevented him from showing too much astonishment.
"It should be. Cousin, I'd like to ask you to keep an eye on Grandma's movements and see if she's contacting my mother. If Mom is really alive, she'll definitely contact Grandma if she doesn't contact the Gu family. Mom will ask Grandma for help with everything, whether it's for living expenses or money!"
Gu Mingxia looked at Nan Ze with an expression of absolute trust, which made him a little embarrassed.
"I'll try my best. You know, I'm not very close to ***, and I don't get along well with my parents and grandmother either. She's always been alone."
