Shen Zhi Qiu paused, her brows furrowing instantly. Before she could react, Lu Jia beside her was shoved aside by Gu Qing Yan.
Gu Qingyan suddenly grabbed Shen Zhi Qiu's arm and said coldly, "Shen Zhi Qiu, I really underestimated you! You're something else. Not only did you play the runaway act with me, but you didn't go home immediately after returning to Nancheng. Instead, you came to the mental hospital! What are you doing here?"
"I came to scout things out for you. I wanted to see what the environment would be like when you moved in, and also check if the medical resources here were good enough to cure you. It seems the doctors aren't skilled enough to cure your ailment." Shen Zhi Qiu was already in a bad mood, so she was even more annoyed with Gu Qing Yan.
"Say it again?" Gu Qingyan's anger surged up instantly, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on Shen Zhi Qiu's arm.
"Hiss," Shen Zhi Qiu hissed in pain, but then remembered that they were at the door of Lin Yun Jin's ward, so she quickly shut her mouth and pursed her lips.
Seeing that he had hurt Shen Zhi Qiu, Gu Qing Yan quickly let go, but his expression was still very unpleasant.
Lu Jia gently pulled Shen Zhi Qiu back a little, then stood in front of her with a stern face, saying in a very cold tone:
"Mr. Gu, please stay away from Zhi Qiu, otherwise..."
"What else do you want?" Gu Qingyan sneered. "Don't forget, this is in Nancheng."
"So what if it's in the south? Mr. Gu probably hasn't encountered any desperate criminals before, has he?"
Lu Jia smirked, revealing a chilling gaze that spoke volumes of threat.
“Your name is Lu Jia, right? Shen Zhi Qiu’s good friend.” Gu Qing Yan glared at him, emphasizing the word “good friend” through gritted teeth. “This is the third time you’ve interfered in our marital affairs.”
"Yes, we're friends, but more than friends, we're family. If you treat Zhi Qiu well, I naturally won't appear in your lives."
"Mr. Gu thought about it carefully. You've been married for three years, and you've never seen me before. If Zhi Qiu hadn't been so determined to leave you, I wouldn't be here."
“Yeah, we should reflect on ourselves more often and find the reasons within ourselves. All we do all day is bully others.” Zhou Xiaoran, standing to the side, was also indignant and said with a hint of disgust, her neck stiff.
"It seems Miss Zhou had a rather comfortable time at the police station last time. If Miss Zhou likes, I don't mind sending you in again. This time she's in Nancheng and will personally pick you up; she won't let anyone else do it for her," Gu Qingyan said coldly, glancing at Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Gu Qingyan, you're insane! I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you still have the nerve to bring this up?" Shen Zhi Qiu angrily pushed Lu Jia aside and stood in front of Gu Qingyan. Looking at him, who still had that arrogant and manipulative attitude, Shen Zhi Qiu felt for the first time that this perfect face was so disgusting.
"That's all because you ran away from home and made me angry!" Gu Qingyan said coldly, not thinking she had done anything wrong.
Without hesitation, Shen Zhi Qiu raised her hand and slapped him.
Everyone present was stunned.
Gu Qingyan looked incredulous. Only when he felt a burning pain on his face did he believe that Shen Zhi Qiu had really hit him.
Still not satisfied, Shen Zhi Qiu raised her hand again, her face tilted back. Gu Qing Yan grabbed her wrist, roaring with fury, "Shen Zhi Qiu, how dare you hit me?"
Lu Jia quickly grabbed Gu Qingyan's hand and said coldly, "Let her go."
"What if I don't let her go?" Gu Qingyan sneered. "Mr. Lu probably doesn't understand the situation. Shen Zhi Qiu is my wife. As long as I don't divorce her, she is my rightful Mrs. Gu."
“Then sign it. I’m back too, so we can get the paperwork done right away,” Shen Zhi Qiu said calmly, without the slightest fluctuation in her emotions.
Seeing that she had just returned and was already bringing up divorce again, Gu Qingyan angrily shook off her hand and leaned close to her ear, saying, "Shen Zhi Qiu, there's a limit to how much you can mess around."
"You ran away from home while pregnant with my child, aren't you afraid of making me angry!" He then sneered, "After you left, my father-in-law, who is also your father, asked me for quite a few business deals. I only gave them to you because of our marriage; if you insisted on divorcing me, that was impossible. If I used my influence, the Shen Group's disappearance from Nancheng would only be a matter of time."
"Besides threatening me and targeting the people around me, what else can you do? Mr. Gu, are your methods in the business world also this despicable?"
"Shen Zhi Qiu!" Gu Qingyan raised his voice, completely enraged.
With a creak, the door to the ward opened.
Shen Zhi Qiu's expression changed, and she looked over in alarm.
Lin Yunjin opened the door and slowly walked out, staring blankly at them. Her hands clenched her trouser legs helplessly as she watched them argue. She asked blankly, "Who are you? Why are you arguing?" Then she tilted her head and muttered to herself, "Shen Zhi Qiu, Zhi Qiu, Zhi Qiu... Who was talking about Shen Zhi Qiu just now?"
"The name Shen Zhi Qiu sounds so familiar." Suddenly, her face turned deathly pale, and she frantically clutched her head, repeatedly muttering, "You've come to arrest me, haven't you? It's all my fault, I killed my daughter, I deserve to go to hell..."
Shen Zhi Qiu's eyes narrowed, and her face turned sorrowful. At this moment, she didn't care whether things would be exposed. She stepped forward, slowly lowered her body, and gently took Lin Yun Jin's hand.
Lin Yunjin was taken aback and looked up at the person in front of her with some surprise. She tilted her head back slightly and slowly calmed down under Shen Zhiqi's comforting words.
The commotion alerted the medical staff, and the nurse in charge of this area rushed over. She quickly knelt down to help Lin Yunjin up and said to them with displeasure, "The doctor repeatedly warned us not to agitate the patient. Don't you family members know that?!"
The nurse instinctively assumed they were Lin Yunjin's family and scolded them, "You never come to see her, except for her ex-husband who comes once a year. She's always here alone. Now that so many of you have suddenly appeared here, arguing loudly will inevitably upset her. Who are you to her?"
"I'm sorry, I am her daughter." Shen Zhi Qiu straightened up, determined that no matter what happened today, she would take Lin Yun Jin away from here.
The nurse looked at her in surprise, muttering, "Impossible, her daughter was clearly already..." But looking at Shen Zhi Qiu's face, which resembled Lin Yun Jin's, she swallowed the rest of her words.
Gu Qingyan looked at Shen Zhi Qiu incredulously and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened?"
