As Gu Yunzhen looked at the last two messages she sent, her eyes darkened.
Finally, he put down his phone and maneuvered his wheelchair into the bathroom.
Only after lying in bed did he pick up his phone and reply with two words: 【Goodnight】
The next morning.
Shangguan Wu woke up groggily, rolled around on the bed a couple of times, and then reached for her phone.
When she opened WeChat and saw Gu Yunzhen's reply, her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
He actually replied?
But he was busy until midnight?
Shangguan Wu frowned slightly and said in voice message, "Good morning, honey! A wonderful day starts with thinking of you!"
But now, I'm not your sweet little cutie, but your doctor, and I'm telling you very seriously, you've offended me!
Acupuncture treatment doesn't just treat your legs; it often affects the whole body. I should have reminded you that you must be in bed before 11 PM. For your own good, and for my own sexual well-being, I hope you'll strictly adhere to this rule, okay?
The voice message took a full 58 seconds to send!
Gu Yunzhen was having breakfast when she opened Shangguan Wu's voice message.
The cheesy phrase, "A beautiful day begins with thinking of you," made Gu Yilou suddenly look up at him.
Gu Yunzhen paused the voice call without changing his expression.
Gu Yilou smiled at him and asked gently, "Is this your sister-in-law? Just keep listening, pretend I'm not here."
Gu Yunzhen looked up at him and said in a low voice, "Did your sister-in-law and the child go out to play?"
"Hmm." Gu Yilou nodded, his expression slightly serious: "Her mother accidentally fell last night and strained her back. She went to the hospital and was diagnosed with an acute illness, so she took the child home overnight to see her mother."
Gu Yunzhen was just trying to change the subject; she didn't have any particular thoughts after listening.
He then ate his breakfast.
Gu Yilou didn't expect his younger brother to say anything. After finishing breakfast and wiping his mouth, he reminded him as he stood up, "You should let Mom and Dad know about your marriage as soon as possible. I don't think you have the ability to handle them."
Gu Yunzhen's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
“I understand,” he said.
His marriage to Shangguan Wu was fake; she only demanded a one-year contract, after which they would divorce, so he was trying to keep it a secret as much as possible.
She ran into her older brother on her very first day in the capital, something he hadn't expected.
No, he had considered the possibility, but it was only a possibility, the probability was very small, and he didn't take it to heart.
As fate would have it, Shangguan Wu met with his elder brother.
There were also outsiders present.
His marriage is probably impossible to keep secret.
But if he tells his parents now that he's married, and then a year later tells them he's divorced...
Gu Yunzhen felt that he was very likely to go to Antarctica and spend a year and a half with penguins!
Seeing that he had taken his words to heart, Gu Yilou strode out of the dining room and headed to the Gu Group.
Gu Yunzhen opened the audio message she hadn't finished listening to.
His eyebrows twitched when he heard "sweet little cutie".
Then, when he heard "you offended her," his eyebrows twitched twice.
When he heard "for my sexual happiness" again, his older brother's excited voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Is your sister-in-law treating your leg? Is she confident in her abilities? How's the treatment going? Has your leg injury improved?"
Hearing this, Gu Yunzhen snapped out of her reverie and turned to look at him: "You ask too many questions."
Gu Yilou hurriedly draped his suit jacket over a chair, pulled out a chair and sat down next to him, his tone somewhat heavy and unusually serious: "I'm not in a hurry, you can speak slowly!"
"I don't want to talk about it."
Gu Yunzhen maneuvered her wheelchair away.
Gu Yilou was taken aback, then got up and chased after him, saying, "Which one don't you want to talk about? Let's not talk about that for now, let's just talk about your current situation, is that alright?"
Gu Yunzhen stopped her wheelchair, looked up at him, and said in an unquestionable tone, "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, he maneuvered his wheelchair toward the elevator.
Gu Yilou stared at the back of his head, and as he entered the elevator, he suddenly spoke up: "Are you sure you don't want to tell me? Then I'll have to go ask your sister-in-law for clarification."
Gu Yunzhen's eyes were deep. After entering the elevator, she turned her wheelchair around and said in a cold voice, "She is still undergoing treatment. It's been too short to see any significant results."
Gu Yilou: "..."
He wouldn't tell us before, but as soon as he mentioned looking for his younger brother and sister-in-law, he told us everything in one go.
Has everything he's done for him over the years been in vain?
Gu Yilou's eye twitched.
However, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. His fourth brother, who was supposed to be ascetic and abstinent, had actually become enlightened earlier than his second and third brothers. Amazing!
"No significant effect? So it's effective? No wonder Old You went back to the capital city before, it turns out your sister-in-law treated your leg!"
Gu Yilou clapped his hands happily and said "good" several times.
Gradually, his eyes welled up with tears.
Gu Yilou looked up at the snow-white ceiling and recalled how his whole family was extremely anxious when his fourth brother was in a car accident. They rushed to his side from all over the country, but they still couldn't change the fact that his fourth brother was disabled in both legs.
Whether it was a renowned doctor from home or abroad, by the end, the fourth brother was numb, and his emotions were building up day by day. He wanted to leave the capital, and they didn't want to upset him, so they agreed.
But his mother made You Song follow him and asked him to cultivate flowers to cultivate his mind, so as not to change his temperament and ruin himself.
The longer it drags on, the smaller their hopes become.
But now the seeds of hope have sprouted and are about to blossom and bear fruit. Gu Yilou was so happy that he wanted to tell his parents right then and there.
At this moment, Gu Yunzhen suddenly spoke up: "Big brother, I hope you can keep this a secret until I stand up."
His tone carried a hint of pleading.
Gu Yilou met his gaze and knew exactly what he was thinking. On one hand, he hoped he could stand up, and on the other hand, he was worried about repeating the same treatment results as before. He was afraid.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Thank you, brother."
After Gu Yunzhen finished speaking, she closed the elevator door.
On the other side, Shangguan Wu got up and went downstairs, only to see her grandfather returning from his morning exercise.
Good morning, Grandpa.
"Um, what time did you arrive last night?"
"It was probably around nine or ten o'clock. You and Grandma were both asleep, so I didn't wake you up," Shangguan Wu replied.
Old Master Shangguan nodded: "Go have breakfast."
Shangguan Wu hummed in agreement and walked briskly into the dining room. Looking at the people at the table, she greeted them sweetly, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, good morning."
"Wu Bao, come sit here."
Madam Shangguan beckoned to her. She knew her adopted son and his family had ulterior motives, and she deeply regretted adopting him.
She didn't even acknowledge Shangguan Xiong, so she certainly wouldn't acknowledge Shangguan Xinyi's identity. But as a result, Wu Bao became the third daughter, which really bothered her, so she started calling her granddaughter Wu Bao, just like her son.
Shangguan Wu smiled brightly and sat down next to her.
Before she even started eating breakfast, her phone rang. It was Song Hongying calling.
"Hello."
As soon as I answered the phone, Song Hongying's anxious voice came through: "Boss, something bad has happened! There's a lot of negative comments about our company online!"
