Chapter 10: Don't Use Honorifics



Gou Anting wanted to know what He Ran thought about Lu getting into He Jinxing's car at night, so she stood at the school gate and did something that was very consistent with her identity as a "bad-ass female supporting role" -

She took a photo of the license plate number at the back of He Jinxing's car, and then sent a message to He Ran.

[Don't be afraid, I can win: Is this Mr. He's car? Why is your girlfriend sitting in it? She doesn't look well, is she sick? ]

He Ran didn't reply to her.

But about ten minutes later, Gou An felt that he should have known about this for a long time, because she saw He Ran, who was anxious and anxious, waiting at the door. This guy ran out of the campus holding a motorcycle safety helmet and climbed onto his motorcycle worth half a million yuan in a panic.

He was so anxious that he didn't notice Gou An standing next to him.

He casually threw his helmet onto the hump at the rear of the motorcycle and started the engine. Amid the earth-shaking exhaust roar of the four-cylinder motorcycle, he was just about to shift gears and leave when a safety helmet was pulled off his head.

He was stunned, and the goggles of his safety helmet were lifted up from the outside. Standing next to his motorcycle was the expressionless Miss Gou.

"Are you in such a hurry to go home and poop?" Gou An asked calmly, "Are you hanging your helmet on the back of the car just for show?"

“…”

He Ran opened his mouth. For some reason, he felt as if he had been caught cheating.

He was not like this before. He could accept love letters from other female classmates in front of Gou An without batting an eyelid, and he could also drink wedding wine with other women in the bar with a smile on his face. He never cared what Gou An was thinking, nor did he care whether she lived or died.

But things are a little different now.

"Where are you going?"

"Hospital," He Ran said honestly, "Lu Wan is sick. She said she met a kind person who sent her to the hospital..."

"Mr. He is that kind-hearted person."

He Ran didn't seem to think his uncle could pose any threat or shake his position. He watched him nod and replied calmly, "Probably."

Gou An was still shocked by his honesty when he heard him ask again in a rather surprising tone: "What's the matter, do you want to go with me?"

Gou An: “?”

Gou An: "...I will go with you next time you have your brain treated?"

In fact, He Ran was speechless. He didn't know why he invited Gou An. Was he dissatisfied with the messy relationship? But he was honest. He took out another safety lock key and got another helmet from the back of the motorcycle next door. "You can go and have a look. I'll ride my bike to knock you down?"

In the past, Gou An always wanted to ride his motorcycle and ask him to take her for a ride, but He Ran always refused.

In order to avoid carrying her, he removed the back seats of all his cars and replaced them with humped back seats that could not accommodate anyone.

Gou An didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and originally wanted to continue to refuse, but a stupid cat in his mind jumped up and down and asked her to go to the hospital with him. It would be best not to give the hero and heroine too many opportunities to spend time together...

She thought so too, frowned, and reluctantly tried to take the safety helmet from He Ran's hand that had just been unloaded from someone's car.

As he stretched out his hand, Young Master He retracted his hand as if he remembered something... He quickly took off his own safety helmet and put it on Gou An's head, while he himself put on the helmet of the nameless master.

The safety helmet is close to the face to provide protection.

It's something you wear close to your face.

Gou An was surrounded by the track and his head was covered by a helmet. He was about to warn Master He that if the foundation liquid rubbed against the lining of your helmet, don't go crazy and let me compensate you...

At this time the locomotive started again.

Amid the deafening noise, Gou An heard He Ran reluctantly explain: "This is Zhou Yanji's helmet. He doesn't wash his hair every day... You can just wear mine."

In the hospital, Lu Wan was already on an IV drip, with the pale blue veins on the back of her hand taped. She lowered her head, looking very unfamiliar with the environment of the VIP ward.

If possible, she wanted to go back to the infusion hall and squeeze on the hard iron bench with other people. That would be more comfortable.

Her hands unconsciously rubbed the bed sheet. Opposite the bed, the man was lazily leaning on the sofa playing with his phone. His suit did not have too many wrinkles due to his relaxed sitting posture.

Lu Wan already knew the identity of the man in front of him. His name was He Jinxing, and he was He Ran's uncle.

Who doesn't know He Jinxing? His name is probably well-known to anyone who is not from Jiangcheng... The youngest of the He family, he is a precious child that Mr. He had in his old age.

With such a background, he should have been more likely to be spoiled into a playboy, but the fact was quite the opposite - he was less than 30 years old, but he graduated with a Ph.D. from an Ivy League school with an excellent IQ, and even established his own company abroad during his undergraduate studies, earning his first pot of gold.

Some time ago, Mr. He just returned to China after reorganizing his overseas companies, and now he has taken over all of He's. Under the control of He Jinxing, He's can now be said to be omnipotent in Jiangcheng.

He was a man who could probably use his time so efficiently that he could measure it in seconds, but out of laziness he sent an unfamiliar college student who was dying to the hospital... Along the way, He Jinxing received many calls, including from secretaries or other people who asked anxiously where the boss was. He sent them off with a few words, but had no intention of turning back.

From Lu Wan's perspective, she could only see Mr. He sitting on the sofa, relaxing, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

With a sharp jawline, a high nose bridge, and thin lips, he looks naturally majestic when he is not smiling.

God was never fair when creating humans. He gave a person elegance and a smart brain, and also gave him the most perfect appearance.

Lu Wan's face felt a little hot. She didn't know if she was sick or what. Her heart was beating very fast, but she didn't dare to say a word. She just sat there obediently and received the infusion in silence.

After a long while, as if sensing Lu Wan's gaze, He Jinxing lazily raised his eyelids, "Miss Lu, do you mind smoking?"

The sudden voice made Lu Wan's face flush even more. She raised her head and looked at the no-smoking sign above her head, and suddenly remembered that this was a special ward... so she shook her head.

He Jinxing glanced indifferently at her red cheeks, stood up, walked to the window, opened it, lit a cigarette, and took the initiative to talk, "Are you short of money?"

The doctor just said that Miss Lu is not seriously ill, she is just worried and lacks rest.

While speaking, He Jinxing saw Lu Wan's hands unconsciously retracting, with many small wounds on his hands left by odd jobs.

Lu Wan nodded, her voice soft, "There are elderly people at home who need medical treatment."

"What's wrong?"

"Kidney disease, requiring regular dialysis."

“That does cost a lot.”

He Jinxing's voice was gentle but somewhat distant. Apparently, he also realized that he accidentally met a person of special identity by doing good deeds every day.

After that rainstorm night, He Jinxing learned a little about the story of his nephew He Ran's savior or white moonlight -

We roughly know that her last name is Lu. Her parents died early in her life. She lived with her grandmother in the lower city area. Her life was very hard. When she was seven or eight years old, she went to the mountain to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival and accidentally rescued Master He who was kidnapped to an abandoned factory on the mountain.

He Jinxing just listened to it. After all, the matter of repaying a favor had little to do with him, and he was not the one who was saved.

I didn’t expect to meet Miss Lu in person today.

"You are in such a difficult situation, and you helped He Ran before. Has he ever thought of helping you?"

"He wanted to give me some money," Lu Wan said quietly, "but I didn't take it. It would be a bit weird. After all, I didn't save him for money."

He Jinxing didn't react much after hearing this.

I was even a little surprised. I originally thought that no matter from which aspect - He Ran even dared to slam the table and yell at his uncle in the study room for this girl - then he should be able to properly arrange for this girl behind the scenes...

Unexpectedly, what he called proper placement was that when people politely refused a sum of money, he really gave up and did not follow up, and naturally let them continue to struggle on the poverty line, work, and finally end up in the hospital.

He Jinxing flicked the ash off his cigarette and felt a little headache. The He family never liked to owe debts to others.

Just like how Mr. He owed the Gou family a life back then, now with the support of the He family, the Gou family has been rising rapidly.

Thinking of the Gou family, He Jinxing thought of the little girl in the Gou family.

Unlike Lu Wan, who was pretty but obviously malnourished and looked pitiful, she was well taken care of by Gou Yu.

An unintentional smile flashed across his dark eyes, and soon disappeared without a trace. He Jinxing did not notice that his thoughts had strayed a little -

He stared out the window in a daze until the door of the ward was hurriedly pushed open from the outside and a young voice rushed in shouting "Lu Wan".

The man leaning against the window frowned slightly and turned his head. What he saw was another figure following the noisy figure, walking slowly and calmly.

The weather is a little cold today. Gou An is wearing a long-sleeved thin hooded sweatshirt and a short skirt. The canvas shoes worth several hundred yuan on her feet make her calves look white and straight.

The skirt is a bit short, just a few centimeters above the knee.

In fact, He Jinxing was a little surprised why He Ran brought her with him.

His nephew may not be mentally normal.

But he didn't meddle in other people's business. When Gou An respectfully called him "Mr. He", the man just nodded nonchalantly...

Then I found that I couldn’t express how much I liked this “respect from the younger generation”.

The man's eyes slid indifferently over the motorcycle track-type safety helmet in Gou An's hand.

Three seconds later, his gaze slid away, paused, and then slid back.

"Did you come here by bike?" He Jinxing asked.

Gou An didn't know why Lord Yama was interested in the means of transportation they used to come here. He nodded a little stupidly, and then he found that He Jinxing frowned.

Why was the King of Hell unhappy again? Gou An didn't understand.

White smoke from tobacco drifted in from the window, and Gou An sneezed because his nose was itchy.

He Jinxing put out his cigarette without leaving a trace, and said to He Ran, who was busy asking Bai Yueguang about her health by the bedside, "Return your motorcycle keys to Secretary Liu later."

He Ran thought there was something wrong with his ears after this sudden punishment and turned his head away in confusion.

He Jinxing said expressionlessly: "I will return the keys to you when you learn to ride safely."

He Ran: “???????”

He Ran: "I'm wearing a helmet?!"

Gou An, who was rubbing her red nose, had no idea why Mr. He suddenly got angry, but she was quite happy. After all, He Ran was defeated...

You deserve to live a few more lives.

She casually put the helmet in her hand on the sofa in the ward, raised her hand to press the hem of her pleated skirt, and the wind blew over her thighs, making them cold. When they came, He Ran was in a hurry to see Lu Wan, and the car was driving fast. She had to hold He Ran with one hand to prevent herself from falling out of the car, and hold down her short skirt with the other hand to prevent her from exposing herself.

The hump on the back seat of that broken motorcycle was designed to prevent passengers from being carried, and the raised edges pressed against her butt, which hurt.

Damn, I never want to ride a motorcycle again.

The heroine is still happy, she has a Maybach to ride in.

As Gou An sighed, he looked enviously at the sick beauty Lu Wan who was sitting on the hospital bed with a pale face.

Lu Wan noticed her gaze and raised his head. The two looked at each other. The former seemed to have just noticed that there was an uninvited guest like Gou An in the room... Maybe he was simply afraid, or maybe this moment of staring at each other reminded him of the scene of the cat that killed the rich lady on the cruise ship last time and was retaliated by her -

The poor heroine looked even sicker.

"He Ran said you were sick, so I came to see you."

Gou An said without any emotion.

The male lead and the male supporting role are here, how can I do this to you? What are you doing looking like you’re going to get pregnant if I look at you?

After He Ran arrived, he really occupied all of Lu Wan's attention.

Perhaps out of pity for his serious fiancée being left out like this, He Jinxing took Gou An out of the ward, which was a Shura field with no lethality.

It would be better if the male protagonist spoke less to the female protagonist.

Gou An followed He Jinxing to the ward corridor.

The two of them didn't chat.

The man was at the end of the corridor, holding a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it. He just lowered his head, frowned, and pressed keys on his phone. He was probably directing his subordinates to charge in some area. She thought for a moment and said considerately, "Mr. He, this is not a no-smoking area."

The person whose name was called looked up.

Against the light, Gou An felt that he seemed to raise the corners of his lips in a mocking manner, revealing his sharp white canine teeth.

"Why, you like secondhand smoke?"

There was no emotion in his voice.

Gou An's hair stood on end, and she shook her head blankly -

She had rhinitis since she was born, and she wanted to sneeze when she smelled cigarettes. She hated He Ran smoking and once wanted him to quit, but he asked her if there was something wrong with her.

Anyway, He Ran has always been mean to her, this bastard.

While Gou An was daydreaming, He Jinxing had already crumpled up his cigarette and thrown it into the trash can. "Why did you follow me?"

You and Lu Wan want to cause trouble.

"I came to see Lu Wan. You know, I feel a little guilty towards her." Gou An said, "I heard that she put a lot of thought into getting first place in the opening test. He Ran originally asked me to give way to her, but I got angry and refused. I didn't expect to tire him out."

She is like a walking Tieguanyin tea, fresh, natural and sweet.

He Jinxing didn't expose her little trick. He snorted and asked, "Did you get first place in the opening test?"

Gou An seemed a little embarrassed and said "hmm".

"The scholarship that He gave to the school ended up being your pocket money."

Gou An was really a little embarrassed now, but also a little proud. He raised his chin slightly and looked at the man, "Is it not possible? I rely on my strength... Are you unhappy?"

"Don't use honorifics."

"?"

"Let's go." He Jinxing put the phone back into his pocket. "I'll take you home. Don't mess around here."

Without even returning to the ward to say hello to the people inside, they went straight down to the parking lot.

Gou An climbed into the passenger seat of the Maybach. The driver disappeared for some reason, so He Jinxing drove the car himself and also answered a phone call during the drive.

It was He Ran who called and asked his uncle where Gou An had gone.

The man calmly turned on the car's audio system, with one hand on the steering wheel. He glanced at the little girl sitting in the passenger seat, who was staring blankly with her head down and not saying a word. She had long eyelashes and looked very well behaved.

He raised the corners of his lips silently.

"I took it with me."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, not sure if it was out of confusion or shock.
