Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Chapter 19
Breaking news: Yan Xiu, the future head of Yan Group, has been kidnapped and is still receiving treatment in the hospital.
Gu Ting blinked twice to confirm that she was not mistaken, but her mind became more confused. Didn’t the Yan Group try every possible way to keep the news of Yan Xiu’s kidnapping secret? Even a small fry like her was silenced with 20 million. This shows the determination of the Yan Group. Why did the news leak out the next day?
For a moment, Gu Ting thought of what Yan Xiu said yesterday, asking her to cheat 20 million yuan from the Yan family. Perhaps the word "cheat" is worth further investigation.
Luo Yuan said a lot, then turned around and found Gu Ting watching TV without saying a word. He couldn't help but emphasize: "Tingting, are you listening?"
Gu Ting turned around and squeezed out two hypocritical tears: "Brother Luo, I'm in a really bad mood now. That's 5.5 million, how can I possibly pay it back? I just changed the creditor. Brother Luo, if you really care about me and treat me as a sister, then prove it to me, find a way to help me pay the debt, and find me a business and a job, otherwise no matter how much you say, it will be empty talk!"
Luo Yuan was very angry. He felt aggrieved that he did a good thing but received no thanks and was instead harassed. If it was the previous Gu Ting, she would never have accused him so bluntly. But the Gu Ting in front of him was too realistic, too sharp, and too unforgiving with his words. He had a guilty conscience, felt unjust and had no reason to be angry, and had to endure this humiliation.
Under the scorching gazes of several pairs of eyes, Luo Yuan's expression changed several times before he finally squeezed out a dry sentence: "Time reveals a person's true character. Tingting, you'll know it later."
After he finished speaking, Luo Yuan felt as if his butt was stabbed by a needle and he left the dance studio in a moment.
Gu Ting watched him fleeing with a sneer on her lips. Her intuition told her that Luo Yuan didn't want her to live well at all. On the contrary, the more miserable her situation was, the more at ease he felt. But why was that? She clearly had no quarrels or animosity with either the fake Gu Ting or Luo Yuan, not even to the point of hatred?
While she was thinking, Pan Ruoling squeezed next to Gu Ting, raised her head and said solemnly: "Sister Tingting, I have money, I will help you, don't cry."
Gu Ting wiped away the remaining water stains from the corners of her eyes, couldn't help but pinch her cheek, and whispered in her ear: "Tears are also a powerful weapon for deceiving people. You will suffer if you believe them easily."
Pan Ruoling looked confused.
At some point, Lin Mengmeng and Min Qingluo came over and said generously, "If you need money, I can lend you some."
Lin Mengmeng also said: "I still have some pocket money left from my parents."
Gu Ting waved his hand and said with great pride: "Don't worry, if that day comes, I will hold your legs and pester you to borrow money, and I will make sure that none of you can escape."
Lin Mengmeng and Min Qingluo: "..." Why do I always feel like I'm not careful in making friends?
Of course, Gu Ting would not borrow money from them. She was just joking. When it came to borrowing money to repay debts, Gu Ting couldn't help but think of Yan Xiu. If it weren't for Yan Xiu's help in getting the 10 million for free, she would not have been able to take out 5.5 million at once last night, and she would not have been able to escape from Brother Chong's deadly trap.
After all, it was a revolutionary friendship of sharing life and death, so Gu Ting felt that he should go to the hospital to visit the other party.
The dancing ended in the afternoon and it was three o'clock. Gu Ting handed Pan Ruoling to Lin Mengmeng, bought a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket, and prepared to go to the hospital.
Seeing that it was still early, Gu Ting displayed the spirit of thrift and hard work, scanned a shared electric bike and hit the road. She was familiar with the bike and rode it very easily and skillfully.
The hospital where Yan Xiu worked was close to the city center. The further in he went, the more vehicles there were, so Gu Ting rode slower. When passing an intersection, he saw a few young people pointing at the other side of the road and whispering. Gu Ting looked in the direction they were pointing and saw a person lying diagonally across the road.
Gu Ting stopped the car and joined the young people. After listening to a few words, he asked curiously, "You are so concerned about the person on the ground, why don't you go over to help him? Is that person a liar who is deliberately extorting money?" Gu Ting has heard a lot of news about this.
Several young people chattered, "We don't know if it's a scam, but we just saw her lying there from a distance, and no one has paid any attention to her."
"I think he's a scammer. He doesn't even pay attention to other passersby. He might be trying to scam us students. We're young and easy to fool!"
"I would like to save him, but my family's financial resources do not allow it. When I become wealthy one day, I promise that if I encounter such a situation, I will go up to him without blinking an eye and help him!" However, when saving people, he was forced to speak with the courage to face death as if he were carrying a bomb.
Gu Ting was speechless for a while. Her eyesight was not very good. She took two steps forward to observe the other person. Judging from her clothes, she looked like an elderly grandmother. Gu Ting was a little anxious now, because the elderly cannot withstand falls.
If she had encountered such a thing a year ago, she would not have dared to step forward as she was struggling on the poverty line. But now is different. She decided to follow Yan Xiu's example and be the Leshan Giant Buddha. So she asked the young man to turn on the camera function of his mobile phone, and she also took a photo with her mobile phone. Then she ran to the other side of the street with a heroic step to save people.
The moment she helped the old lady up, the people around her gathered together as if iron met a magnet and started talking crazily.
"Look, she's helping the old lady! She's helping the old lady!"
"In broad daylight, he dared to help the old lady with his bare hands. It seems his family is really rich!"
Gu Ting, who was pinching the old lady's Ren Zhong, couldn't help but tremble.
She raised her head and said, "Uncle and aunt, I grew up in an orphanage. I just graduated from college a year ago, and a scumbag cheated me out of all my money. I'm now a pauper."
The man nodded: "It seems that your family is really broke. No wonder you dared to help the old lady with your bare hands. People can't extort money from you even if they want to."
"Don't worry, there are so many of us filming it. If you try to blackmail us, we are all witnesses."
Gu Ting: "..."
Some people looked worried and said, "Beautiful lady, remember not to pay for the hospital expenses yourself! Otherwise, it will be difficult to get your money back!"
"Oh, young people are kind-hearted. They are the easiest to be blackmailed!"
"Beautiful lady, remember to record the entire process and be vigilant!"
Gu Ting's heart tightened when she heard the worried chatter, but the situation did not allow her to hesitate. She saw that the old lady was still breathing and did not respond even when her Ren Zhong was pinched. Fortunately, someone around helped to call 120.
In less than five minutes, the ambulance arrived. Gu Ting was overjoyed to see that it was from the Xiqiong Hospital where Yan Xiu was. He quickly locked the shared electric car and sat in the back seat of the ambulance.
You should save money when you should.
The ambulance sped up and arrived at the hospital in less than ten minutes. Gu Ting watched the old lady being taken to the emergency room.
The situation that was worried about before did not happen. The old lady had enough cash in her bag, so Gu Ting did not need to advance the medical expenses.
Gu Ting waited outside the emergency room for half an hour until the nurse came out and said that the old lady was sent to the hospital in time, her condition was stable, and her life was not in danger. However, she still needed to be observed in the emergency room for another half an hour. She finally felt relieved.
After confirming that the nurse had contacted the old lady's family, Gu Ting's excitement for saving a life faded, and instead she felt a sense of relief—finally, she didn't have to worry about her wallet. She slipped away, clearly a good person who had saved someone, and abruptly walked away from the perpetrator with stealthy steps.
Yan Xiu lived in the hospital's VIP ward. The entire floor was very quiet, so quiet that even the sound of turning pages of a book could be heard clearly.
Gu Ting knocked lightly on the door, and a male nurse opened it. The first thing he did was to silence Gu Ting: "Mr. Yan is taking a nap. He only accepts visitors in the morning. Don't you know?"
Gu Ting, who had not been informed in advance, was speechless for a while, thinking that visiting a friend was not a big deal. However, thinking that Yan Xiu was recovering from his injuries after all, he endured it and just handed the fruit basket and flowers to the male nurse: "My name is Gu Ting. When he wakes up, tell him I will come another day."
The male nurse took the things and was about to see the guest off when suddenly a slightly hoarse male voice came from inside.
"Is it Gu Ting?"
Yan Xiu must have just woken up. His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of laziness, which made Gu Ting think of a cat for no reason. When Gu Ting stepped into the ward and saw him in person, he felt that Yan Xiu had more in common with cats.
Slightly messy hair, sleepy eyes, cold white skin, lips that have become rosy due to pursing the lips, and the movement of sitting up lazily... It really looks a bit like a big cat that has just woken up.
"What are you laughing at?" Yan Xiu sat down, and a smile appeared in his slightly misty eyes.
Before Gu Ting could answer, the male nurse beside him showed a look of surprise. Since Xiao Yan was rescued yesterday, he had never looked so relaxed.
Gu Ting kept clicking his tongue at the huge ward and replied, "I'm so happy to be debt-free! There's even a movie theater in the ward. This isn't just for recuperation, it's clearly for enjoyment. This is how rich people live? Luxurious, too luxurious..."
Yan Xiu's smile widened a little more, and he said to the male nurse, "Kaifeng, go down and buy a few bottles of water. I can't get used to the hospital water."
Du Kaifeng's eyes quickly moved back and forth between Yan Xiu and Gu Ting, and he replied, "Okay, Xiao Yan, call me if you have anything."
Seeing Yan Xiu nod, he closed the door and left.
There were suddenly only two people left in the room. The ward was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
Yan Xiu was the first to break the silence: "Isn't it a bit like the cave from the night before?"
Gu Ting sat down casually on the sofa in front of him and shook his head: "If there was an air conditioner, refrigerator, sofa and movie theater in the cave, I could live in it forever. Are you feeling well?"
Yan Xiu was stunned at first, then her beautiful eyes drooped slightly, revealing a sickly and lazy look: "It's okay, it's just that it's not very convenient to move around, and even eating fruit is a bit difficult."
Gu Ting couldn't help but feel sympathy. Yan Xiu had fought the kidnappers so fiercely and fiercely, but now he was lying in bed sick and unable to move. It must have been hard for him. And the nurse was a grown man after all, so he was careless and probably didn't take good care of him.
Gu Ting stood up from the sofa and said, "What kind of fruit do you want to eat? I'll help you."
Yan Xiu's smile faded slightly, and he said helplessly, "My mouth is full of juice, and I feel a little embarrassed. Forget it."
Gu Ting felt even more sympathetic after hearing this, and simply said, "I'll just help you clean it up, it's a small matter."
Yan Xiu hesitated for a moment, but finally smiled and said, "Thank you."
After a while, Gu Ting peeled a plate of oranges and placed it on the bedside table of Yan Xiu's bed. Yan Xiu smiled at her, picked up an orange slice and put it in his mouth. The orange was sweet, and Yan Xiu ate it slowly. After a while, some juice remained on his lips.
Gu Ting kept his promise and helped him wipe it off with paper. It was nothing at first, but when he looked up and met the other person's smiling and frank eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Well... no matter you are in the den of thieves or in the hospital, you have the same good attitude as always and can even smile." If it were someone else who had gone through this, they would have turned evil or become bitter and resentful. Unlike him, he smiled brightly.
Yan Xiu tilted his head slightly, thought, and finally concluded: "In terms of mentality, I really can't compare to you." It is really impossible for ordinary people with ordinary mentality to mock the evil kidnapper leader and stir up hatred.
Gu Ting: "Haha...you're so kind." After being choked on the kidneys hundreds of times in another world, my heart has long been as cold and hard as a butcher's knife. How can my mentality not be outstanding and extraordinary?
Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Ting suddenly closed the distance.
