Chapter 38 Five Hundred Thousand
After finishing the call with Uncle Qi, Gu Hanye tugged at his tie.
Gu Hanye naturally understood what Uncle Qi meant by "that aspect".
But how can I take the initiative? Should I force myself on someone?
Jiuyao grew up alone in Mingchan Temple and must have suffered a lot of grievances. Gu Hanye still wants to bully her under the pretext of their engagement. Is he still a human being?
At least at this moment, Gu Hanye absolutely could not accept the old man's bad idea.
As for Su Jiuyao, after returning to the bedroom, she still edited a message for Qin Beichuan.
After all, Gu Hanye suddenly interrupted me on the phone and I hadn’t finished speaking.
"I was busy just now and didn't finish talking to you. Remember to take the medicine I prescribed for you last time on time. Tell me when you're done and I'll make a plan for the next course of treatment for you."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Looking at the news about Qin Beichuan, Su Jiuyao smiled.
"Then you should rest early. I'm going to sleep too. Good night."
Su Jiuyao has had few friends over the years, and Qin Beichuan is one of her good friends.
The story of their acquaintance began with Qin Beichuan's father. Uncle Qin was a famous pianist, but unfortunately he was diagnosed with cancer. In the late stage, he was in great pain and came to Mingchan Temple to recuperate and spend his last days.
His condition had progressed to the point where it was incurable, and Jiuyao was helpless, but she used her medical knowledge to help Uncle Qin greatly alleviate his pain, and fortunately he was able to extend his life for two years.
It was during those two or three years that Su Jiuyao learned to play the piano from Uncle Qin.
Because of this, she met Qin Beichuan and became friends with him.
Later, Qin Beichuan was devastated by the death of his ex-girlfriend, so he diverted his attention by working. Eventually, due to overwork, he became seriously ill and developed large stomach ulcers, which could have easily developed into cancer.
Qin Beichuan retired temporarily and recovered his health under Su Jiuyao's care.
In Su Jiuyao's heart, Qin Beichuan is a friend, but more like a relative.
Although he would sometimes joke with her and say things like "Why don't we just get along together", Jiuyao always felt that deep down in his heart he had not let go of his deceased ex-girlfriend, so he didn't care about these jokes.
At this time, Qin Beichuan was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the lakeside villa.
He was wearing a lake blue casual shirt, his face was gloomy, and he held a cigarette between his slender fingers, with the ash falling on the marble tiles.
The phone screen was on, stuck on the chat interface where Jiuyao was saying goodnight to him.
He picked up his phone and typed, "Is your marriage to him really just a fake one?"
Before clicking OK to send, he hesitated for a moment, and finally deleted them one by one, leaving only the word "An" in reply.
He kept recalling the scene of Gu Hanye hugging Su Jiuyao, and finally put out the cigarette in the ashtray.
The next day.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Su Jiuyao received a call from her twin brother Su Moyu.
"Sister, I'm at the Haiyue Bar, and my account has been frozen by Dad. Would you mind coming over and settling the bill for me? I'll definitely pay you back in the future!"
Su Jiuyao felt very confused.
Although she and her brother had a good relationship when they were young, they had not seen each other for many years since she was sent to Mingchan Temple.
What did it mean that Su Moyu suddenly came to her for help or to borrow money?
"Don't your friends have money to pay the bill? Where are your elder and second sisters?"
Su Moyu lowered his voice and said, "Good Third Sister, please don't tell anyone at home. I was betting on a football game and lost... I lost 500,000... If Mom, Dad, and Big Sister knew, I'd be finished!"
"How much? Five hundred thousand?"
