Chapter 63
"Xiao Nuo, you still don't believe me? I swear, every word I said just now is true!" Ding Pingzhou said, "Mr. Gu is cruel and ruthless. I've never heard of him liking anyone in his life. He has no feelings at all! Don't be fooled by him. He only values your money. Once he returns to his roots, you will be of no use to him..."
"Wasn't his father kicked out by the Gu family? Why would the Gu family let him return to his ancestral home?" Jiang Nuo interrupted him.
Ding Pingzhou was speechless. "I don't know the inside story. When I met him, he had already received funding from the Gu family and returned to China as a member of the Gu family."
"Then how did you get to know him?" Jiang Nuo continued to ask. He was actually very interested in how Ding Pingzhou got to know Mr. Gu in his previous life.
However, Ding Pingzhou hesitated, "It's just a normal business collaboration. Mr. Gu needs to work with a local company when he returns to China. Otherwise, a team made up of foreigners won't be able to adapt to the local environment."
Lies, Jiang Nuo thought.
Jiang Nuo: "What kind of business cooperation?"
"It's about that piece of land in the development zone... He has the funds, I have the connections, so it'll all be a piece of cake." Ding Pingzhou changed the subject. "Xiao Nuo, let's not talk about this. You really have to trust me. We'll send that plague god away tomorrow, and do it in a nice way."
"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it," Jiang Nuo said. "Besides coming all the way here to call him the God of Plague, Mr. Ding, do you have anything else to say?"
Ding Pingzhou said in disbelief, "Are you still going to chase me away?"
Jiang Nuo: "What else? I asked you a question, but you refused to answer it, and you kept calling me a plague god. Do you think you should be welcomed like this?"
But even when the conversation came to this point, Ding Pingzhou did not confess how he had moved Gu Da Lao in his previous life and made him save him from danger.
This made Jiang Nuo even more curious.
Ding Pingzhou began to play the victim and act pitiful: "Xiao Nuo, after all, we've been through a lot. Look at me, I didn't even have time to change out of my hospital gown before I escaped from the hospital just to see you. Do you really have the heart to kick me out again?"
"Oh, that's right." Jiang Nuo turned serious. "What's wrong with you? How serious is it? Why are you in the hospital?"
Ding Pingzhou thought there was a chance and quickly said, "I got caught in the rain and have a fever! It's high and won't stop. If you don't believe me, touch my forehead; it's still burning hot."
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
"Look at you, your face has changed," Ding Pingzhou said with relief. "I knew you still cared about me. Will you take care of me like before? Will you ask Auntie to make me a bowl of ginger soup? Xiao Nuo, please take me in. Just for one night."
"Gu Jiangkuo!" Jiang Nuo suddenly stood up and shouted upstairs.
Ding Pingzhou: “?”
Bodyguard Gu seemed to have been on standby for a long time. As soon as Young Master Jiang finished speaking, he appeared at the stairs and walked up and down the stairs. "Young Master, what are your instructions?"
Jiang Nuo pointed at Ding Pingzhou and said, "Hurry up, drive him away!"
Ding Pingzhou: “???”
Jiang Nuo hid far away as if he was avoiding the plague: "Wear a mask, he has a cold, don't let him infect you."
Ding Pingzhou:...Fuck?
Gu Jiangkuo seemed to have been waiting for this order for too long. He didn't allow Ding Pingzhou to say another word. He picked up the 1.80-meter-tall Ding Pingzhou like a chick and dragged him out of the door and out of the front gate of the villa.
Gu Jiangkuo held up a black umbrella in one hand and without hesitation, with the other, he pushed Ding Pingzhou into the rain. "Mr. Ding, take care."
Ding Pingzhou: “…………”
But Ding Pingzhou had recovered his memories from his past life, so when he saw Gu Jiangkuo, he didn't even dare to fart. He covered his head with his hands, and finally couldn't help but say, "Gu, Mr. Gu, please don't mind what happened last time."
Gu Jiangkuo: “?”
Ding Pingzhou apologized humbly, "Last time at Chairman Jiang's funeral, I offended you with my words. It's all my fault for not being sensible. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."
At the last funeral, Ding Pingzhou boasted about his wealthy family and advised the poor Gu Jiangkuo to stay away from Jiang Nuo, which seemed like he spat at Gu Jiangkuo in person.
Thinking about it now, Ding Pingzhou still feels trembling with fear.
"Mr. Gu, I'll be leaving first."
Watching Ding Pingzhou nodding and bowing without complaint as he walked into the deeper rainy night, Gu Jiangkuo returned to his room full of suspicion.
"Master, what did you say to him?" Gu Jiangkuo asked curiously, "Why is Mr. Ding suddenly so polite to me?"
He suspected that his young master had threatened Ding Pingzhou and was secretly supporting him.
Jiang Nuo said vaguely: "Some things he thinks are important, but I already knew about them. They are no big deal."
"Oh right, he actually has a bad cold!" Jiang Nuo couldn't hide his disgust. "What bad luck! If I had known, I would never have opened the door for him. I sat face to face with him for so long, I must not get infected!"
"I'll make some ginger soup for you." Gu Jiangkuo forgot to ask any further questions and said hurriedly.
"Boil two bowls, and you drink one bowl too!" Young Master Jiang ordered.
.
Heavy rain fell all night long. Ding Pingzhou dragged his heavy sick body out of the villa area on foot again. He waited on the roadside for a long time but couldn't get a taxi. Finally, he used his last bit of clarity to remember that he should call an ambulance, and then he successfully left the cold and damp roadside and was admitted to the hospital again in a miserable state.
In the Jiang family villa, Young Master Jiang was lying lazily on the bed. He had just been served a large bowl of hot brown sugar ginger soup by bodyguard Gu. His hands and feet were warm. He leaned on the fluffy and soft pillow, half-closed his eyes, and listened to a bedtime story.
Mr. Gu seemed to treat "Youyang Zazu" as a bedtime story. In just one night, he could look at the classical Chinese text, automatically translate it into vernacular, add a little of his own innovation, and tell it vividly and emotionally.
Young Master Jiang was so amused at first that he twisted the quilt and pounded the bed, laughing so hard that he forgot his image. Later, he gradually became sleepy and ordered his bodyguards to stop talking nonsense and just read what was written in the book.
Gu Jiangkuo followed the young master's orders and read two chapters. Then he could not hear Jiang Nuo's response. At this moment, only a warm lily of the valley lamp was on at the head of the bed. With the soft light, he could see the sleeping face of the young man on the bed, with thick and long eyelashes, light-colored thin lips, jade-like cheeks, and a long leg exposed outside the quilt.
Gu Jiangkuo closed the book and gently covered Jiang Nuo with a blanket. Before turning off the light, he couldn't help but lingeringly stroke the young master's face with his fingertips.
Today is also the day when Mr. Gu desperately restrains the beast in his heart and forces himself to endure.
However, Gu Jiangkuo didn't know that after he closed the door and left, Young Master Jiang, who should have been asleep, slowly opened his eyes. In the darkness, his eyes were clear and bright, and even the slight sleepiness he had felt before had disappeared.
Jiang Nuo sighed silently, feeling the touch of rough fingertips on his cheek. Mr. Gu's hands were as rough as his own. It hurt him a little at first, but now that the pain was over, that small piece of skin began to slowly feel hot.
"Why."
What should I do?
Now, even Jiang Nuo couldn't ignore Gu Jiangkuo's affection for him. In fact, Gu Jiangkuo was really good in every way, especially his sincerity towards him. However, if the window paper was really broken, after he changed from "Gu bodyguard" to "Gu general manager", would their relationship still be the same as it is now?
With the experience of Ding Pingzhou as a lesson, Jiang Nuo didn't dare to fall in love again. He knew very well that he had a spoiled temper and was always the willful one in intimate relationships. That was why Ding Pingzhou later became disgusted with him and even did everything he could to cheat on him. Not only did he hurt him emotionally, but he also took away Jiang.
The opportunity to start over is not easy to come by, and Young Master Jiang doesn't want to lose it again in any way.
He hugged the quilt and thought gloomily: When Gu Jiangkuo becomes a noble and wealthy young man, how could he still unconditionally accommodate and serve me like he does now?
Rather than waiting for him to become the second Ding Pingzhou, turn against me, and even implicate the Jiang family, it would be better not to start at all and pretend that I didn't notice anything.
"Why."
It's so hard to pretend that you don't notice anything.
Jiang Nuo found that she was enjoying being with Gu Jiangkuo more and more, and she became close to him unknowingly.
Young Master Jiang finally buried his head in the quilt and rubbed his face against it, trying to rub off the heat from the skin that Gu Jiangkuo had rubbed.
The whole person shrank into a silkworm, with only a tuft of hair on the top of his head showing.
