Chapter 141: Domineering, she usually settles her scores on the spot.
Fu Heng watched Misha's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips. His eyes held a meaningful glint, and after a moment, he turned his gaze to the somewhat puzzled Gu Mingxia.
"It's alright, she's always been aloof. But her professional skills are top-notch, so you don't need to worry about that!"
Could Gu Mingxia say she wasn't worried about Misha's professional skills at all? After all, the Fu family's private medical team wasn't one that just any second- or third-rate doctor could join. Misha's ability to serve as the captain of the Fu family's medical team meant her professional skills were undoubtedly excellent, and Gu Mingxia had no doubt about that.
"Do you think any man would dare to approach a stunning beauty like Misha if she always had such a cold and aloof demeanor?"
It has to be said that all women are gossipy, and even Gu Mingxia is no exception. Fu Heng couldn't help but facepalm. Wasn't she heartbroken and crying? Why is she suddenly not concerned about Xiao Yan's safety but instead worrying about whether Misha has any men pursuing her? Their priorities are completely different, okay?
Looking at Gu Mingxia with a hint of helplessness, Fu Heng let out a long sigh, met her questioning gaze, and smiled as he spoke.
"Misha is against marriage, so men pursuing her is a burden for her!"
"Sigh, such a beautiful woman is a staunch non-marriage advocate, what a waste of her perfect genes!"
Gu Mingxia kept shaking her head as she spoke, her face full of regret. After saying that, she didn't say anything more and went into Xiao Yan's room.
Fu Heng, however, was filled with surprise. Could Gu Mingxia really be so silly? Liu Yan looked at him, trying her best to make her smile appear elegant.
"Well, Xiaxia can be a bit silly sometimes!"
"It really surprised me."
Fu Heng answered with an elegant smile, but his gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yan's room. Liu Yan seemed to have noticed something, and her smile deepened. She also looked towards Xiao Yan's room.
"I wonder how Xiao Yan is doing now, Mr. Heng. Why don't we go and take a look together?"
"Then let's go take a look."
Fu Heng naturally did not refuse Liu Yan's thoughtful suggestion. He smiled as he looked at Liu Yan. She was truly a beautiful and considerate woman. However, he already had someone else in his heart. Otherwise, he might really have considered her!
Seeing his bright smile, Liu Yan couldn't help but smile back, then turned and walked towards Xiao Yan's room.
When the two entered Xiao Yan's room, Gu Mingxia was already holding Xiao Yan's hand, sitting in front of the hospital bed with a worried expression.
"Mingxia, don't worry too much. Once Misha's report comes out, she'll be able to find a solution."
Fu Heng has never been good at comforting people, so it was already quite an achievement for him to say such a thing. Gu Mingxia nodded, put down Xiao Yan's hand, and got up to walk in front of Fu Heng and Liu Yan.
"Please sit down!"
The three sat on the sofa in Fu Heng's bedroom, and the room suddenly fell silent; no one knew what to say. After a while, Liu Yan coughed.
"Why don't you stay for dinner, Mr. Heng? Zheng Liu and I will go grocery shopping later."
"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Fu Heng was pleased with Liu Yan's suggestion, but he didn't show any liking on his face.
He secretly wanted to stay, but seeing that Gu Mingxia didn't speak up, Fu Heng politely declined.
"What's wrong with that? Xiaxia, don't you think so?"
Liu Yan nudged Gu Mingxia with her elbow, who was staring blankly at Xiao Yan on the bed. Gu Mingxia let out a soft "ah" when touched, and then looked at Liu Yan who kept giving her meaningful glances.
"Ah! Well, Fu Heng, why don't you stay for dinner? Consider it a thank you for arranging the medical team to give Xiao Yan a check-up today."
Fu Heng never refused Gu Mingxia's invitations. Although it might seem a bit shameless to accept, Fu Heng believed that one couldn't win the heart of a beauty without being shameless!
"Then I'll have to bother you."
Fu Heng smiled elegantly, and seeing that smile, Gu Mingxia inexplicably thought of two words: cunning and ruthless!
He clearly wanted to stay, but he made me beg him to stay. People like that are just...inexplicably annoying!
"Xiaxia, you sit with President Heng for a while. Zheng Liu and I will go grocery shopping." Liu Yan said, turning to look at Fu Heng with a broad smile. "What kind of food does President Heng like to eat?"
"I'm not a picky eater."
"It's good not to be a picky eater! It's good not to be a picky eater!"
With a smile on her face, Liu Yan got up and left Xiao Yan's room, glancing back at Fu Heng every now and then as she left.
This man is so handsome! She used to think Xiao Yan was the most handsome man she had ever seen, but she never expected Fu Heng to be even more handsome, especially those smiling peach blossom eyes, which are so charming no matter how you look at them!
Sigh, did Gu Mingxia save the galaxy in her past life? How come every man who pursues her is more outstanding than the last! Thinking about herself, Liu Yan suddenly felt that her life was so dark that there was no sunshine.
It's true that you can't compare people; comparisons only breed feelings of inferiority. Liu Yan deeply understood this saying. Sighing, she listlessly carried her shopping basket and went to the supermarket with Zheng Liu.
After a pleasant dinner at Xiao Yan's villa, Fu Heng happily had his driver pick him up and take him back to the Fu family home. Gu Mingxia gave Liu Yan a reproachful look, while the latter shrugged innocently and went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.
"Mingxia, Song Jia and the others will arrive in half an hour."
"Make sure they get a good rest tonight, and we'll discuss things in detail tomorrow morning," Gu Mingxia said after thinking for a moment. "By the way, just wait for me at the building across the street tomorrow morning."
"good!"
The next day, Gu Mingxia got up early. After looking at Xiao Yan, who was still unconscious, she felt that she should get Professor Wei and the others to start the experiment as soon as possible.
Before leaving, Gu Mingxia kissed Xiao Yan on the cheek and gently stroked his slightly pale face.
"Little Swallow, I promise you, it won't be long before I get you back to your former health, I promise! I'm going out now, you get some sleep and wait for me to come back!"
At this moment, Gu Mingxia was as gentle as the most tender and affectionate woman in the world. After saying these words, she reluctantly got up and walked out.
Leaving their floor, Gu Mingxia squinted at the sunlight outside. The weather was so nice; how wonderful it would be if Xiao Yan could see it!
However, he would see it soon! With this thought, Gu Mingxia was filled with fighting spirit, and her steps unconsciously quickened.
When she arrived at the building where Zheng Liu had arranged for Song Jia and the others to stay, Zheng Liu and everyone else were already waiting for her in the lobby.
"Mingxia, these are Song Jia and the others."
Upon hearing Zheng Liu's words, Song Jia immediately gave everyone a wink, and everyone except Zheng Liu stepped forward.
"I've met Miss Gu."
"Thank you all for making this trip. I'm sure Zheng Liu has already explained the mission to you. What are your thoughts on it?"
Gu Mingxia smiled slightly, her gaze carrying a hint of authority. Zheng Liu stood steadily beside Gu Mingxia, without saying a word.
"Ms. Gu, rest assured, we will definitely comply with the demolition requirements and do our best to complete the task."
Everyone spoke in unison, which pleased Gu Mingxia greatly. She took a check out of her dress pocket and handed it to Zheng Liu.
"This money is for everyone's expenses. Zheng Liu will tell you about the specific arrangements."
"Don't worry, I'll explain everything clearly and assign tasks to everyone!"
Gu Mingxia nodded, then turned her gaze to Song Jia and his group. A faint smile played on her lips.
"I have no other requirements for you, but there is one thing: during the time I employ you, I do not want any of you to hide anything from me, nor can you betray me!"
"Miss Gu, rest assured, we mercenaries have principles, the first of which is that we cannot betray our employers!"
"Song Jia said loudly," Gu Mingxia said with a smile. She walked around all of them. They were all wearing camouflage uniforms, and most of them were over 1.8 meters tall, with tall and strong builds. She was very satisfied to have these people help her, and her lost confidence gradually returned.
"From now on, you can call me Mingxia, just like Zheng Liu! But there's one thing I want everyone to remember: in private, we're friends, but when it comes to business, you still need to take it seriously!"
Gu Mingxia walked around to the front of everyone, looking at them with a slight smile, her assertiveness evident in her eyes.
These people were no strangers to Gu Mingxia. Song Jia had researched Gu Mingxia's information beforehand for this mission, and they were quite impressed with her information from seven years ago. However, they didn't know why Gu Mingxia had suddenly become a pure housewife after getting married.
However, seeing her speak like this, Song Jia and the others were still somewhat intimidated, because this woman possessed an innate domineering aura of someone in a superior position.
"Miss Gu, rest assured, we mercenaries will always prioritize the mission. No matter how difficult the environment, we will do our best to complete the mission."
"That's great. To help everyone get to know each other, let me start by introducing myself! I'm a very easygoing and approachable person. I don't hold grudges if anything unpleasant happens, so you can rest assured about that!"
Song Jia and the others breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this. As soldiers, they were used to speaking without restraint, and when they encountered a young lady from a wealthy family like this, they were afraid of saying something they shouldn't have and making her angry!
"That's good, that's good! We're just roughnecks, so please don't hold it against us, Miss Gu!"
"Of course!" Gu Mingxia smiled slightly, gracefully sitting on the sofa, and looked at Song Jia and the others with a somewhat cunning expression. "I don't hold grudges; I usually settle scores on the spot!"
