Chapter 53: Being pretentious, wanting to act virtuous even after being a prostitute.
Lin Yi's words only made Gu Mingxia want to laugh more.
It seems that Zi Xi's aloofness is not her true nature! From the moment Zi Xi appeared, Xiao Yan's expression became unnatural. He sat on the hospital bed, trying to minimize his presence, hoping that Zi Xi could leave as soon as possible.
On the contrary, Zi Xi shrugged indifferently after hearing what Lin Yi said, seemingly unconcerned about whether she was aloof or not. Looking at Xiao Yan sitting expressionlessly on the hospital bed, she couldn't help but speak again.
"Xiao Yan, you still haven't told me how serious your illness is!"
The persistent problem gave Xiao Yan a headache. He looked at Zi Xi with a cold face and indifference.
"Miss Zixi, what does the severity of my illness have to do with you?"
"How can it be okay? I've already agreed to be your girlfriend, how can it be okay?"
Xiao Yan felt as if a flock of crows had suddenly flown overhead. There were still people in this world who would unilaterally agree to be someone else's girlfriend! This was truly the first time he'd ever seen such a thing!
Gu Mingxia sat on a chair to the side, watching the spectacle with a cold eye, but a sarcastic smile unconsciously appeared on her lips again.
She wanted to see how Xiao Yan would handle this farcical confession.
Xiao Yan looked up and met Gu Mingxia's smile. He frowned, thinking of how jealous she was last night, and felt even more that he should get rid of Zi Xi, this troublesome person.
"I think you should understand one thing: I never agreed to be your boyfriend! If my attitude that day made you misunderstand, then let me tell you clearly now, I will absolutely not ask you to be my girlfriend!"
"Xiao Yan, you... don't go too far! I've already disregarded my status and pride and willingly agreed to be your girlfriend, how can you say such a thing!"
Zi Xi had clearly never been treated so coldly before. Her face was flushed, and she pointed at Xiao Yan angrily, completely losing any semblance of her aloofness.
If her fans were to encounter her at this moment, they would absolutely not believe that this is the idol who is like a god in their hearts.
"Then please don't put yourself in such a difficult position, Miss Zixi."
After saying this, Xiao Yan lay down and turned away, no longer looking at Zi Xi. Zi Xi's face flushed red, she bit her lip tightly, and there were tears welling up in her eyes.
"Grandma, we still have two more scenes to film. Okay, we've finished experiencing the role, let's hurry back to the set to continue!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Yi quickly reached out with her delicate fingers and grabbed Zi Xi's wrist, winking at her as she walked out.
If word got out that Zi Xi's aloof and pure image had been completely ruined after she confessed her feelings to him!
With Zi Xi ruined, his Mercury Entertainment Company lost its cash cow. Lin Yi desperately pulled Zi Xi away. Fortunately, Zi Xi was angry and did not refuse to go back to the film set with Lin Yi. However, when they returned to the ward, she looked back at Xiao Yan lying on the hospital bed with resentment.
Even after everyone had left for a long time, Xiao Yan was still lying in bed, and Gu Mingxia looked at him with schadenfreude.
"Alright, stop acting innocent after getting the benefit. The person has already left."
"You're just gloating!"
Xiao Yan remained lying in bed, replying sullenly to Gu Mingxia, "I don't need you to stay here. You should go see your uncle. This afternoon, you and Liang Yuhao go talk to Xu Ruixuan about the advertising."
"OK!"
When it comes to business, Gu Mingxia is always so rational. She picked up her bag, got up, and walked out.
Listening to the sound of her high heels on the ground, Xiao Yan turned over and stared blankly at the ceiling. Zi Xi... really is a nuisance. If he had known she would stick to him, he shouldn't have rushed in to help her that day. Now look what happened, he helped her and she's clinging to him now!
But when he thought of Zi Xi's words, "disregarding her status and pride to become his girlfriend," a look of displeasure flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. Status and pride? If that's the case, then Xia Xia's status and pride are even greater! She never spoke to him in such a condescending tone back then, yet this little girl…
Gu Mingxia arrived outside the ICU ward and saw Lin Fu washing Gu Huaikun's body through the glass door.
He hasn't woken up yet. I asked the attending physician when I came here, and the doctor said he was fine, but he just doesn't seem to be waking up. I really don't know if he's deliberately not waking up or if there's some other problem.
Gu Huaikun, you have no right to die until the cause of Mom and Adong's deaths is found. If you die like this, I will make sure your body rests in peace! This is what you owe Mom and Adong!
Gu Mingxia touched the glass door, thinking to herself that she had never noticed that the tall and domineering man would one day fall down in front of her, and she never expected that he would be so vulnerable!
Considering that he is already fifty-five years old, he is no longer young. For the past two days, Gu Mingxia has been thinking about whether she went too far that day in the Gu family study.
If she hadn't been so aggressive towards him, would he still be lying in a hospital room like this? But there are no "what ifs" in this world.
"Oh, isn't this the young lady? It wasn't enough that you made your dad faint, you have to do it again? Are you trying to anger him to death?"
Qin Yueru, carrying a thermos, stood behind Gu Mingxia and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Turning around, Gu Mingxia revealed an elegant and sweet smile, and looked Qin Yueru up and down with a disdainful gaze.
"Who do we have here? It's just Gu Huaikun's lowly concubine!"
"You... Gu Mingxia, let me tell you, if anything happens to your father, I will definitely go to the Gu family mansion and cause a scene!"
Qin Yueru was furious. Over the years, she had outlived the other two concubines of the Gu family. Finally, Gu Huaikun took her everywhere, which gradually made her put on the airs of the Gu family's legitimate wife.
"Want to go to the Gu family mansion? Sure! But you'll have to get Gu Huaikun to marry you first! You might not know this, but the Gu family mansion has a rule: concubines... are never allowed to enter the mansion!"
Gu Mingxia spoke in an exceptionally gentle and elegant voice, with a perfect smile on her face. Seeing Qin Yueru's face contorted with anger, her smile became even sweeter.
"If this were ancient times, wouldn't you be considered a concubine? Let alone ancient times, even now you'd be a detestable mistress!"
She hated all the women around Gu Huaikun. If it weren't for these women, how could her mother have been so depressed and ended up with liver cancer? Qin Yueru was about to get angry, but Gu Huaikun, who had come with her, stopped her with a look.
"Yes, I'm a concubine, a secondary wife, but your father likes me! Your mother is the official wife, the first wife. Does your father like her?"
When Qin Yueru said this, her heavily made-up face showed a smug expression. Gu Mingxia was not angry, but her smile deepened. Gu Huaixin thought to himself that something was wrong. Just as he was about to warn Qin Yueru to be careful, a loud clapping sounded in the quiet corridor.
"Who do you think you are, talking to my mother like that? In the end, you're nothing but a whore that Gu Huaikun keeps at home with his money, and you still dare to push your luck! Today I'll show you what the Gu family rules are!"
Gu Mingxia's face turned cold, her once watery eyes filled with anger. What she couldn't tolerate most was Gu Huaikun's other women slandering and mocking her mother, and Qin Yueru had just stepped on her landmine.
Gu Mingxia used all her strength in that slap, and four clear finger marks immediately appeared on Qin Yueru's face. She was about to speak when Gu Mingxia slapped her again hard.
"According to the Gu family rules, concubines have no right to discuss the legal wife! Nor do they have the right to comment on the legitimate children!"
Gu Mingxia and Gu Mingdong had memorized these ancient family rules by heart since childhood. Seeing Qin Yueru dressed seductively and elegantly while Gu Huaikun was in a coma, they couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Gu Mingxia, although I am not your father's legally wedded wife, I am still your elder. Is this how you talk to your elder?"
Qin Yueru had never seen Gu Mingxia with such a powerful aura. Although she was a little scared, she still wanted to save face.
"You know you weren't married through proper channels! Since you weren't married through proper channels, you're just a bastard. Why should I respect a bastard? You were with Gu Huaikun, he paid you and you were good at it. It was a transaction of money and sex. You sold yourself. What's so respectable about you?"
When Gu Mingxia speaks, she is quick to use her sharp tongue, making Qin Yueru bite her lip and tremble all over.
She lowered the insulated food container, watched Gu Mingxia glare at her fiercely, rolled her eyes, covered her mouth, and ran out of the hospital.
"Young Miss, you've driven the Fourth Madam away. What if the Master wakes up..."
"To be honest, she's just a whore who sells herself for money. How can she expect to be virtuous after being a whore? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
Lin Fu looked at Gu Mingxia with concern. Although he didn't like Qin Yueru either, she was, after all, someone close to Gu Huaikun. He was really worried that the two of them would have another conflict because of this woman.
Just as she was about to ask about Lin Fu and Gu Huaikun's situation, Gu Mingxia's phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Liang Yuhao calling. She frowned, but still answered the phone.
"Sister-in-law, Zixi's agent, Lin Yi, called and said that Zixi wants President Xiao to personally come and invite her before she'll agree to shoot an advertisement for us; otherwise, they'd rather break the contract!"
“Tell Lin Yi that we don’t absolutely need Zi Xi for this advertisement! She wants to break the contract, is that it? Well then, let her read the agreement carefully. If she breaks the contract, she’ll have to pay triple the compensation, which is 18 million. Make her transfer the money to Maoguang’s account right now and get the hell out of here. Get as far away from me as you want!”
"But Xu Ruixuan personally selected Zi Xi to shoot this advertisement..."
"Since I told you to tell her, then go tell her. It's just Xu Ruixuan, right? I'll bring up the matter of changing models with him this afternoon!"
Gu Mingxia was very unhappy. Wasn't this Zi Xi just taking advantage of Xu Ruixuan's attitude that he couldn't live without her? She had seen many celebrities who were willful and acted like divas. Wasn't she capable of dealing with her?
"Yes, yes, yes, if my sister-in-law can win over President Xiao, she can naturally win over... no, persuade Xu Ruixuan! I'll have Zixi pay the breach of contract fee right now and then let her go wherever she wants!"
