Chapter 29 Injured
Walking into the backstage, Gu Cunxi felt heavy-hearted. She gently placed her guitar back into its case and, instead of returning to the venue, turned and walked out of the hotel...
She didn't want to go back to the scene and sit next to Xiao Peiyin. She was afraid she would burst into tears. She had agreed that after the music ended, she would let go, let Xiao Peiyin go, and let herself go, so that they could both return to their original life paths...
Gu Cunxi walked to the car and put the guitar in the car. Standing at the door, he took out a lighter. His lips trembled slightly as he bit the cigarette...
At this moment, her thoughts were filled with the shadow of Xiao Peiyin, which she could not drive away or shake off. Her smile and frown, her gentleness and delicacy, the softness of her body, the heat of her lips, were all beautiful things she could not forget.
Gu Cunxi leaned weakly against the front of the car, unable to help but think of Chen Feng. She hated him but also envied him, because he could stand by Xiao Peiyin's side openly and spend the rest of his life with her as her husband. How happy this was for her...
At the annual meeting, Xiao Peiyin still hadn't waited for Gu Cunxi to return, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried. She knew that the song Gu Cunxi had just sung was for her, and the lyrics made her heart ache and ache. She wanted to find Gu Cunxi, but... what could she say when she found him? Married people can't talk about love with others...
Silence is the last tenderness for her...
At the entrance of the hotel, Chen Feng's car slowly drove in and stopped in the corner, intending to take Pei Yin home. Although they had such an unpleasant quarrel at noon, they were still husband and wife after all.
Standing in front of the car, Chen Feng looked around. There was a dark shadow in front of the hotel. A woman stood in the darkness, holding a faint red flame. Chen Feng slowly approached and saw the woman's face clearly. Her expression instantly turned cold, and there was a hint of a sneer at the corner of her mouth...
Haha... She actually smokes, she is definitely not a good woman!
Gu Cunxi saw a shadow approaching her from the corner of her eye. She looked up and found that the person coming was Chen Feng. A flash of displeasure flashed across her brows.
She withdrew her gaze and looked straight ahead, ignoring Chen Feng as if she didn't see him!
"Miss Gu, you still smoke?" Chen Feng walked in front of Gu Cunxi, his words full of contempt.
"..." Gu Cunxi didn't want to pay attention to Chen Feng. She didn't say anything and let him talk to himself...
Being ignored, Chen Feng was very unhappy. He curled his lips and continued, "Yesterday! Thank you, Miss Gu, for sending my wife home yesterday!"
He glanced at the Mercedes-Benz in the distance and sneered twice, "The new car you bought is nice. A beautiful woman like Miss Gu, there must be many men who want to give you a house and a car. That old man sitting in the passenger seat must be one of them, right?"
An unhappy look was revealed in her beautiful eyes. Gu Cunxi frowned and glared at Chen Feng, trying her best to suppress the unbearable disgust in her heart. She said in a cold and hard tone: "Mr. Chen, do you have any opinions about beautiful women?"
"There may be men who want to give me a house or a car, but I don't care. My car didn't cost Mr. Chen a penny! Whether it was given by someone else or I bought it myself, it has nothing to do with you. Don't interfere too much!!"
"You..." Chen Feng took a step forward, his eyes showing a hint of viciousness.
Gu Cunxi did not back down at all. He looked straight at Chen Feng and said, "This is a hotel, not Mr. Chen's workplace, and I am not your subordinate. You don't have the qualifications to discipline me!"
After saying that, Gu Cunxi turned around and prepared to leave. She didn't want to say anything more to the man in front of her, as it would insult her ears...
Gu Cunxi's words reminded Chen Feng of the humiliation Xiao Peiyin had inflicted on him at noon because of her, and he became even more angry.
He reached out and grabbed Gu Cunxi's arm, blocking her way.
“!!”
She hadn't expected Chen Feng to pull her back. Suddenly, she felt as nauseous as if she had eaten a fly. She struggled hard, shook off Chen Feng's hand, and said, "Mr. Chen, as a husband, restricts his wife's personal freedom and forbids her from interacting with others. But isn't it inappropriate for him to pull me back in public like this?"
"I'm not forbidding her from interacting with others, but someone like Miss Gu isn't worthy of being my wife's friend!"
"Since she is married to me, she must understand the duties of a wife, obey her husband, take care of the family, manage the housework, and be loyal. Taking good care of the family is what she should do as a wife! Miss Gu is not married, of course you can go out into the world of pleasure, but don't bring my wife into your chaotic circle!" Chen Feng's tone was a hint of warning.
“…”
Such remarks were like the oppression and exploitation of women in a patriarchal society. Gu Cunxi heard Chen Feng's subtle assertion of gender superiority in these words. She frowned in displeasure and internally despised Chen Feng. This kind of talk disgusted her immensely. Gu Cunxi couldn't understand why a man like Chen Feng didn't know how to respect women! Why did Xiao Peiyin wrong herself like this?
Gu Cunxi felt a pang of pain in his heart, and then he sneered.
"why are you laughing??"
"I'm surprised that there are still people saying such clichés nowadays. It's so pedantic!"
"Mr. Chen, are you really looking for someone to be your wife when you get married?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Feng frowned, his eyes full of hostility.
"What I mean is that Mr. Chen's requirements for his wife might be more suitable for finding a nanny!!"
"You!" Chen Feng was furious, his eyes gradually becoming cold.
"Before meeting Mr. Chen, I was curious about what kind of person Xiao Peiyin's husband would be. But after meeting Mr. Chen, I was really disappointed. Marrying someone like you would probably mean returning to the old society! You are not worthy of Xiao Peiyin. Marrying you is really a huge mistake in her life!!"
Such words were full of contempt and disdain, which made Chen Feng unbearable. Thinking of the quarrel with Pei Yin during the day, it was all because of this woman. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He clenched his right hand into a fist and hit her in an instant.
“!”
The sudden force made Gu Cunxi unable to react in time. She staggered backward and hit the stone pillar behind her. The pain made her dizzy. Her body slowly slid down and knelt in front of the stone pillar.
"Misfortune comes from the mouth. Miss Gu must understand this truth!" Chen Feng shook his right hand, which had exerted too much force, and said viciously while standing aside.
He used all his strength in that punch just now.
Gu Cunxi raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. His mouth was filled with the taste of blood and was very sticky.
Chen Feng watched as Gu Cunxi fell to the ground, her momentum gone. Blood seeped from the corners of her mouth, and she half-knelt in front of him with a painful expression, looking weak and pitiful. The anger in his heart finally subsided a little, and he snorted coldly, "Miss Gu, your words are sharp and aggressive. You must be careful with your words! Otherwise, you will easily get into trouble! I won't bother with you this time, but next time, it will be more than just that. Miss Gu has no one to rely on in this city, so it's better not to cut yourself off in a moment of impulse!"
Chen Feng was about to turn and leave when he suddenly heard Gu Cunxi continue, "Mr. Chen! Is that all you're capable of? You hit a woman when you're angry and embarrassed. I really overestimated you. Not only are you unworthy of Xiao Peiyin, you're not even worthy of being a man!"
"Say that again!"
"I said... you're not worthy!" Gu Cunxi screamed, her vision blurry. Chen Feng's figure left, then returned and approached. The next second, the collar of her shirt was tightly grasped by Chen Feng, strangling her neck and making it difficult for her to breathe...
"You...you don't deserve it!"
The fuse of the gunpowder buried in Chen Feng's heart was completely ignited by Gu Cunxi's words. It exploded in his heart in an instant, shattering his rationality... He could not tolerate such contempt and disdain. He tightened his grip on his collar, his eyes red and vicious.
Before this, Gu Cunxi had no idea how hard a person's fist could be, but now Chen Feng made her understand...
For a moment, the world was spinning, and Gu Cunxi was unable to fight back. He wanted to struggle, but his eyes were blurry and he couldn't see clearly his surroundings or this hideous man... He only felt a burst of pain on his cheeks.
Before she lost consciousness, she saw Xiao Peiyin's face through Chen Feng...
…
As the hotel's annual meeting drew to a close, Xiao Peiyin was the first to leave the hotel, only to witness this scene at the door! Chen Feng was on top of Gu Cunxi, punching her hard, a violent fight ensued...
At that moment, her heart seemed to be pierced by countless fine needles, piercing her whole body with pain.
"Chen Feng!!" Xiao Peiyin quickly ran to Chen Feng's side and pushed him away with all her strength.
She picked up Gu Cunxi and stroked her cheek. The blood oozing from the corner of her mouth stung her eyes. Tears burst out instantly. There was no more indifference and alienation. Her eyes were full of pity.
"Cunxi!!" Xiao Peiyin hugged her and called softly with a choked voice.
When she regained consciousness, Gu Cunxi felt like she was in a warm embrace. She frowned, and what caught her eyes were Xiao Peiyin's tears and anxiety...
"I'll take you to the hospital, don't be afraid!" Xiao Peiyin carefully lifted Gu Cunxi up and held her in his arms, then walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Chen Feng quickly stopped her and asked, "Are you going with her?"
Facing Chen Feng at this moment, Xiao Peiyin's heart was filled with hatred. She could not tolerate Chen Feng's insult to Gu Cunxi, and she could not tolerate Chen Feng hurting the person she loved like this. This time he completely touched her bottom line!
"Do you want me to call the police? If this matter is recorded in the file, your career will end here, Chen Feng! You really make me feel sick! Get out of here!" Xiao Peiyin said in a cold tone, looked at Chen Feng hatefully, and walked past him.
"!" Chen Feng stood there in astonishment, his eyes full of surprise.
At this time, people who had just finished the annual meeting came out of the hotel one after another. Xiao Peiyin didn't want others to see Gu Cunxi like this, so she quickened her movements, started the car and drove away at high speed.
Her palms were covered in cold sweat, and she was extremely anxious. She kept turning her head to look at Gu Cunxi, who was almost unconscious and breathing weakly.
"Cunxi! Don't fall asleep yet, hold on a little longer, we're almost there!" Xiao Peiyin nervously gripped the steering wheel, occasionally looking sideways at Gu Cunxi, fearing that she would faint.
"Hmm!" Gu Cunxi squeezed out a little sound from his throat, nodded weakly, and a forced smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
People holding medical records were rushing in and out of the hospital entrance. Xiao Peiyin didn't care about anything else and parked the car at the entrance. She called Gu Cunxi softly, but when she didn't respond, she panicked...
"Gu Cunxi! We... are at the hospital!" Xiao Peiyin quickly walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, and carefully helped Gu Cunxi onto her back. She was so light that she couldn't even feel the weight of her body.
"Hey! Girl, you can't park here!!"
Xiao Peiyin ignored the guard's warning and walked quickly towards the hospital...
In the emergency room, Gu Cunxi lay on the hospital bed. The bloodstains on the snow-white sheets pierced Xiao Peiyin's heart through his eyes...
She unconsciously clenched her hands, loosened them, and clenched them again...
The scene in front of the hotel was lingering in her mind. Gu Cunxi collapsed there, and the darkness seemed to have opened its bloody mouth, swallowing up her life...
Xiao Peiyin had never been so scared before. She was afraid that something might happen to Gu Cunxi, and how would she face it? She had lived with Chen Feng for seven years, and no matter how much they argued, as long as it didn't touch the bottom line, for An An, she was willing to forgive...
She didn't know why Chen Feng had hit Gu Cunxi so hard, but she couldn't forgive him this time. Gu Cunxi was her bottom line, and she wouldn't allow Chen Feng to cross it again...
After a series of examinations, the doctor came out of the clinic. Xiao Peiyin walked up quickly and asked anxiously, "Doctor! How is she...?" Her voice trembled.
"I have a mild concussion and a fractured cheekbone. Fortunately, my nose isn't broken, just a subcutaneous hematoma in the surrounding tissue. I need to be hospitalized for a few days for observation. Go and complete the hospitalization procedures!"
After the doctor left, Xiao Peiyin stood at the door for a long time, holding the hospitalization form with trembling hands... His frail body was about to collapse.
Fractured cheekbone! Mild concussion! How hard of a blow must have been struck to cause this?
Xiao Peiyin didn't dare to think about how much pain Gu Cunxi was in at that time! She tried to calm herself down and walked towards the toll booth with heavy steps.
After completing the hospitalization procedures, Gu Cunxi was transferred to the ward and was still in a coma.
Xiao Peiyin sat in front of the bed with a look of heartache in her eyes. The blood on her face was cleaned up, revealing a shocking wound. The redness and swelling at the corners of her mouth were like a brand on her heart.
"Silly! I'm a married man, is it worth it for you to do this?" Xiao Peiyin's slender fingers trembled and gently touched the wound on Gu Cunxi's cheek, carefully afraid of hurting her.
"Gu Cunxi! I...can't hold on any longer!! I can't push you away, and I don't want to push you away anymore! I really...like you!"
The choked and hoarse voice broke the silence of the ward. At this moment, Xiao Peiyin could no longer avoid her true feelings. All her emotions came out from the bottom of her heart.
She leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on Gu Cunxi's lips! Tears slowly slid down her face and dripped onto the corners of her mouth...
