Cao Xue's expression became tense, and her eyes turned somewhat fierce. If Gu Jingyan really discovered any evidence, it would be extremely bad.
Her eyes fell on the pillow beside her, and she was thinking, "Why don't I take advantage of Gu Jingyan's inability to move and smother him with the pillow?"
Gu Jingyan kept a close eye on Cao Xue's expression the whole time, then chuckled.
The moment he smiled, Cao Xue knew he was bluffing, and she felt incredibly resentful.
Then she came up with a good idea.
Cao Xue laughed.
"Oh dear, we're all family, how could I possibly harm you? Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you. These past two days you've been in the hospital, your girlfriend has been waiting outside the whole time. I can tell she's very devoted to you..."
Gu Jingyan's pupils dilated.
His phone was broken in the car accident, so he hadn't been able to contact Xiao Dingdong for the past two days, and he thought she didn't know about it.
"What did you say? Is Dingdong outside?"
"Yes, I didn't want to tell you this, your father didn't want me to tell you this kind of thing, but I saw how pitiful the girl was, so timid and unable to speak. I'm a very kind person, and I can't bear to see girls like that suffer."
Gu Jingyan snorted. Cao Xue, would she be a kind person? Forget it!
"Then hurry up and call her in!"
Gu Jingyan was somewhat excited.
Seeing Gu Jingyan's emotional fluctuations, Cao Xue crossed her arms and chuckled; "I wouldn't dare. Your father has instructed you not to see her again. He's planning to match you with Lin Mengya from the Lin family. You know that, right?"
"I have no interest in Lin Mengya. Now, call Dingdong in right now!"
Gu Jingyan used a commanding tone.
Seeing that Gu Jingyan was anxious, Cao Xue was no longer anxious.
“Jingyan, I really don’t have that right. I have to listen to your dad in everything. But if you don’t want her to come in, I can still help you. I can give you my phone so you two can make a call.”
Cao Xue threw her phone in front of him.
Gu Jingyan picked up his phone and called Xiao Dingdong.
"Hello! Ding-dong! It's me! Where are you right now? Are you at the hospital entrance?"
Xiao Dingdong on the other end of the phone was very excited, but she couldn't speak, so she could only tap her phone with her finger to make a sound.
Gu Jingyan and she also had a great understanding.
"If so, then tap your phone."
Xiao Dingdong knocked once.
"Great, I'm fine now and can be discharged in a couple of days. You can go back now, don't wait for me. I'll come find you later. Knock twice if you understand."
Xiao Dingdong knocked twice more.
Gu Jingyan was finally relieved.
After he finished making the call, Cao Xue took the phone back.
"Heh, aren't you going to thank me?"
Gu Jingyan snorted; it was impossible for him to say thank you to this woman.
Cao Xue sneered, not paying much attention, and put her phone back in her bag.
"Alright, I've finished my task, so I don't have time to keep you company anymore. I'm heading back now!"
She slung her bag over her shoulder and swayed her hips as she walked away.
Cao Xue certainly didn't mean it that way. The reason she did this was because she didn't want Gu Jingyan and Lin Mengya to be together.
Gu Jingyan has already taken the position of general manager. If he were to marry into the Lin family, his son Gu Jingping would have no chance to turn his life around.
...
Two days later, Gu Jingyan was discharged from the hospital.
The first thing he did after being discharged from the hospital was to go back to the house he and Xiao Dingdong had bought.
Xiao Dingdong was indeed waiting for him there.
The two embraced tightly after meeting.
Xiao Dingdong's eyes were red as she kept checking Gu Jingyan's body.
Gu Jingyan smiled.
"It's nothing, just some superficial injuries. Don't worry. You must have been so worried these past few days, right?"
Xiao Dingdong nodded, looking aggrieved.
Gu Jingyan patted her head, feeling very warm inside. He could tell that Xiao Dingdong cared about him a lot, which made him very happy.
Xiao Dingdong is not Lin Mengya; she wouldn't leave him if she saw him in trouble.
Just as the two were deeply in love...
There was a knock on the door.
The two looked at each other, both somewhat puzzled, and then Xiao Dingdong went over and opened the door.
After the door opened, Gu Zhendong stood outside with his hands behind his back and a serious expression, while Cao Xue watched them with an air of amusement.
"Dad? What brings you here?"
Gu Zhendong snorted and glared at Dingdong when he came in. Xiao Dingdong was so frightened that she lowered her head.
Gu Zhendong came up to Gu Jingyan and looked at him.
“Jingyan, didn’t I tell you to break up with this woman? I’ve already made arrangements for you. Didn’t you always like Lin Mengya? I’ve talked to her father and met Mengya. They have no objections.”
"Dad, I don't agree to this. I want to be able to make my own decisions about marriage..."
"What right do you have to make decisions? I'll decide your marriage. Mengya is a wonderful girl, a hundred times better than this kind of sleazy woman!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Dingdong's eyes reddened, and she lowered her head even further.
"Dad, you can't say that about Dingdong. Dingdong is a good woman, and we're doing very well together..."
"What do you know? You are the future heir of the Gu family. How can the future heir of the Gu family marry a technician? If this gets out, what will our colleagues think of us?"
"Dad! Dingdong is no longer a technician; she has resigned."
"Is it enough to just resign? Does a reformed prostitute no longer count as a prostitute?"
Gu Zhendong's words were very offensive, and Gu Jingyan got angry with him.
He knew perfectly well that Xiao Dingdong was innocent, and he could testify to that.
"Dad! You can't insult Dingdong like that, the situation isn't what you think at all..."
"What do you mean it's not what I think? Jingyan, I was young once too, and I've been with women like this before. You're not getting any younger, I don't believe you can't see through this kind of thing?"
"Dad, it's not what you think. When Dingdong was with me, she was still..."
"Or what?"
Gu Zhendong continued to press for answers.
"This is her first time!"
Gu Jingyan said those words with a flushed face.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhendong and Cao Xue looked at Xiao Dingdong with some surprise.
But then, Gu Zhendong smiled coldly.
He turned and walked towards Xiao Dingdong, looking at her; "I knew it! No wonder Jingyan was so infatuated with you, so you used this kind of trick!"
"means?"
Gu Jingyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at his father.
"That's right! This woman used this method! Jingyan, are you really that stupid? This woman is quite attractive, and she frequents those kinds of places all the time. You're telling me this is her first time? Hah, who do you think would believe that?"
"I believe you!"
"You'd be an idiot to believe that!!"
Gu Zhendong turned his head and looked angrily at his son; "This kind of surgery can be done in a minute at the hospital. Our hospital has this kind of service. Didn't you know that?"
Gu Jingyan was stunned for a moment.
Their company owns a private hospital that does indeed perform this type of reconstructive surgery.
Hearing the other party slander her like this, Xiao Dingdong felt extremely wronged and shook her head frantically with tears streaming down her face.
Then, facing Gu Jingyan, he frantically explained with hand gestures.
Gu Jingyan hesitated for a moment. To be honest, he didn't want to believe it either, but what his father said wasn't entirely unreasonable. Ding Dong was so beautiful; it was indeed unlikely that she could survive in such a place...
Seeing that Gu Jingyan hesitated, she did not continue to defend herself.
Xiao Dingdong's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she rushed over to grab his hand to explain.
Gu Jingyan took a deep breath and then pressed her hand.
"It's okay, Dingdong, I don't mind..."
Xiao Dingdong was still shaking her head, not wanting Gu Jingyan to misunderstand her. But Gu Zhendong was still saying, "Jingyan, I came here today to tell you that if you insist on being with this woman, you will have to bear the consequences yourself. My Gu family will never allow her to enter the house. You need to think carefully about whether you want her or the company."
Gu Jingyan was shocked and looked at his father with some confusion.
"Dad, what do you mean by that?"
“My meaning is very clear: if you insist on being with this woman, then you can forget about being the general manager and you can forget about inheriting the Gu family business.”
"dad……"
Gu Jingyan was somewhat incredulous. He had previously vowed to hand over the company to his father, but he changed his mind so quickly.
“You don’t need to say anything more. I’ve reminded you before that if you really care about the Gu family, you should understand that marrying into the Lin family is your best choice. A powerful maternal family is very important to you.”
From Gu Zhendong's perspective, he was right. Gu Jingyan was disabled, and if he wanted to take over the Gu family in the future, he would need someone to support him. If no one supported him, he might not be able to control the people under him after he was gone.
This is what Gu Zhendong was considering.
Seeing that Gu Jingyan remained silent, Gu Zhendong seemed to understand.
“I’m not forcing you. This is a choice you have to make yourself. Today, let’s have a heart-to-heart talk. I’ve been in the same situation before. Before I married your mother, I had a very good girlfriend. Your grandfather also made me make this decision. I chose the Ye family, which has a good family background, your mother’s family. That’s how you came to be. Do you understand?”
Gu Jingyan lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly, feeling extremely unwilling.
Gu Zhendong glanced at him, then glanced at Xiao Dingdong.
"I'll give you one day. Give me an answer after one day."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Gu Zhendong didn't offer a large sum of money to make the woman who was clinging to his son leave, as is often done in TV dramas or novels; he had other options.
He believes that if his son doesn't know how to be ambitious and weigh the pros and cons, he won't be qualified to manage the Gu family in the future.
The door was closed.
Only two people remained in the room.
Compared to the sweet nothings the two had just exchanged, only endless silence remained in the room.
