The assistant answered the phone nervously and said, "Ms. Gu, Xiao Tian has had an accident and is in the hospital. Don't worry, he's basically safe now."
On the other end of the phone, Gu Anran's legs went weak. Holding the phone tightly, tears welled in her eyes as she said, "Okay, I'll be right to the hospital."
She hung up the phone, still in her slippers and pajamas, and dazedly took a taxi to the hospital. She didn't even know how she got there; all she knew was that something had happened to her baby.
When she arrived, the patient had already been moved to a regular ward. As soon as she entered the ward and saw that the patient was safe and sound, she hugged Gu Xiaotian and cried.
Gu Xiaotian was almost out of breath from her hug. He patted her comfortingly and said with difficulty, "Mommy, I was almost out of breath from your hug. I'm fine now, don't worry."
Gu Anran only realized what was happening when she heard Gu Xiaotian call her "Mommy." She let go of Gu Xiaotian and checked him over carefully before grinning foolishly and saying, "It's alright, it's alright. Do you know how scared Mommy was?"
Everyone stared blankly at Gu Anran. Only then did Gu Anran realize what was happening and look at herself. She hugged her clothes shyly, bowed, and said, "Thank you for saving Xiaotian."
When she looked up at the people in the room, she noticed Ye Lichuan's icy face.
She looked at Ye Lichuan awkwardly and said, "Hello, President."
The assistant took a hard breath in the oppressive atmosphere of the room before awkwardly saying, "Well, Miss Gu, it was Mr. Ye who saved Xiao Tian. Since Xiao Tian is alright, I'll be leaving now."
The assistant nervously finished speaking in one breath, glanced at Ye Lichuan's dark face, and was so frightened that he wished he could sprout wings and fly away.
Gu Anran, unaware of what was going on, said to her assistant, "You've worked hard, go home and rest early."
The assistant left, and the room instantly became quiet; even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
Gu Anran looked at Ye Lichuan's dark face, puzzled. She said nervously, "President, you've worked hard. You should go back and get some rest too."
Ye Lichuan stood up and walked towards Gu Anran step by step, which frightened her so much that she backed away little by little. She said fearfully, "What... are you going to do?"
Ye Lichuan slowly brought his thin lips to Gu Anran's ear and coldly said, "Stupid woman."
Gu Anran, who had been nervously closing her eyes, opened them wide in anger at those words: "You..."
Ye Lichuan left without waiting for her to speak.
After Ye Lichuan left, when he recalled Gu Xiaotian's face, he always felt like he saw his own reflection.
He took out his phone thoughtfully and dialed a number, his voice low: "Hey, secretly investigate something for me, don't alert anyone."
The other person, diligently taking notes on the keyboard, asked, "Speak, what do you want to find out?"
Sitting in the car, Ye Lichuan rubbed his temples and said wearily, "I need you to find out what happened to me at the hotel five years ago, no matter what method you use."
The other party fell silent for a few seconds, then said with difficulty, "It happened five years ago, and it's very difficult to investigate now. All the clues have been lost."
Ye Lichuan frowned unhappily and said, "Money is not a problem. Find out the truth, and there will be an extra bonus in addition to the original amount."
Upon hearing this, the man on the other end of the phone excitedly said, "Mr. Ye is truly a good friend. Okay, I will do my best, but this happened five years ago, and you know it takes time."
Ye Lichuan frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "You'd better hurry. My patience is limited. Also, please help me check on Gu Anran and her child's situation. I'll have my assistant send you the information later."
The person on the other end looked completely bewildered, and asked in confusion, "You suspect she is... or shouldn't she be Liu Xinrou?"
Ye Lichuan said coldly, "It's unclear now. You'll find out who's behind this once you investigate."
After Ye Lichuan left, Gu Anran, still shaken, hugged Gu Xiaotian and asked, "How did you fall into the swimming pool?"
Gu Xiaotian was too scared at the time to think it through. He looked at Gu Anran and recalled from various clues: "First, it was either an accident, or it was that bad woman Liu Xinrou."
He frowned and said angrily, "We met at the entrance of the venue, exchanged a few words, and then ran into her again by the swimming pool."
After hearing what Gu Xiaotian said, Gu Anran was so angry that she tightened her grip on the water glass in her hand and slammed it down with a thud.
She patted Gu Xiaotian and said gently, "It's Mommy's fault for not protecting you."
Gu Xiaotian shook his head and comforted her understandingly, "Mommy, it's not your fault. I'll be more careful in the future."
After coaxing Gu Xiaotian to sleep, Gu Anran quietly got out of bed and called Yu Hui to tell her about Xiaotian's situation.
Ask her to bring her some clothes and food tomorrow. It's really not very elegant for me to go out in my pajamas.
Gu Anran tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. She thought about many things, but her kindness only led to Liu Xinrou's repeated persecution.
She decided to take the initiative and have Yu Hui take care of Xiao Tian so she could settle accounts with that bitch.
The next morning, Yu Hui brought large bags of clothes, food, and fruit to the ward.
Gu Anran sat up immediately upon hearing the noise. Having not slept well all night, she looked at Yu Hui with dark circles under her eyes and said, "You're here so early. You must be tired."
Yu Hui looked at Gu Anran with heartache and whispered, "I'm fine, how is Xiao Tian?"
She stood up and held out her hand, saying, "You're alright, much better. Here, take your things and sit down and rest for a while."
Yu Hui gritted her teeth and said angrily, "That bitch, how dare she? What are you going to do about it?"
Gu Anran closed her eyes in silence, and slowly said, "Take care of Xiaotian for me today, I'm going to find her."
Yu Hui nervously pulled her along, saying, "Don't do anything foolish."
Gu Anran patted her with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I won't. Everything is still under investigation. I won't do anything foolish."
Gu Anran called Liu Xinrou and asked her to meet him at a coffee shop.
Gu Anran arrived right on time, and Liu Xinrou had been waiting for a while. She irritably cursed, "That bitch actually made her wait." Before she could finish speaking, she saw Gu Anran walk in.
Gu Anran was wearing a light blue dress, which made her look even more fair and beautiful.
Liu Xinrou gripped her water glass tightly in jealousy, pretending to be calm as she said, "Being late for an appointment with someone else, you have absolutely no manners."
Gu Anran calmly sat down, pretending not to have heard.
Liu Xinrou felt like she'd punched cotton; she was furious. She looked at Gu Anran with disdain and said arrogantly, "Speak, why did you ask me out? If you're begging for mercy, then take your son and get out of my sight."
Gu Anran calmly looked at the aggressive woman in front of her. A cold aura emanated from her, and she stared intently at Liu Xinrou, making Liu Xinrou feel uneasy.
He muttered fearfully to himself, "When did this bitch develop such a powerful aura?"
