Su Yaoyao and Shen Jia drank and chatted at the bar until the early hours of the morning. When they finished, Shen Jia's face was flushed with an unnatural redness. Su Yaoyao reached out to support Shen Jia, whose steps were already unsteady, and frowned.
"How are you? How about I take you home?"
Shen Jia waved her hand at her; "No...no need, I've already arranged for a designated driver to pick me up."
Su Yaoyao knew she was flying to the US tomorrow, and pursed her lips; "Will you be able to board the plane tomorrow looking like this?"
Shen Jia smiled at her; "Of course it's okay, I've arranged everything."
Hearing her say that, Su Yaoyao didn't say anything more.
She helped Shen Jia walk out, and after finally finding her car, she discovered that a tall and imposing figure was standing next to it.
Gu Tingmo was dressed in a white casual outfit, exuding elegance, nobility, and extraordinary demeanor.
Su Yaoyao was stunned; "Young Master Gu, what are you doing here?"
If she hadn't ridden in Shen Jia's car before, she probably would have thought she had gotten the wrong car.
As soon as Su Yaoyao finished speaking, she noticed that the woman in her arms suddenly stiffened.
Gu Tingmo's lips curled slightly, revealing an incredibly handsome smile, but the smile was devoid of warmth, and the voice that came out carried a sinister undertone.
"I'm looking for Shen Jia."
Su Yaoyao didn't think much of it. Nan Jiangmu and Gu Tingmo were friends, so it was normal for them to know each other, but...
"She's drunk."
Gu Tingmo nodded; "Okay, give me the keys, I'll take you back."
Before Su Yaoyao could speak, Shen Jia jumped up first: "No! We've already called a designated driver!"
Shen Jia's voice sounded anxious, as if she particularly disliked Gu Tingmo.
Su Yaoyao was in a bit of a dilemma. She could tell that Shen Jia and Gu Tingmo were probably up to something.
"I won't trouble you, Mr. Gu. The designated driver should be here soon."
Regardless of what happened between him and Shen Jia, she couldn't hand over the drunk Shen Jia to Gu Tingmo right now.
Gu Tingmo looked at the two of them with a faint smile on his face; "I've already sent your designated driver away."
He leaned against the car door, his tone nonchalant.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jia's order information notified him that it had been cancelled five minutes earlier.
Shen Jia was so angry that she was about to rush over and tear Gu Tingmo apart, but Su Yaoyao stopped her in time.
"Gu Tingmo, you bastard, who gave you permission to let my designated driver leave!"
"You bastard, I'm..."
Su Yaoyao held Shen Jia tightly, and seeing Gu Tingmo's gloomy face, she felt a chill run down her spine for Shen Jia.
"Um, Mr. Gu, she's had too much to drink."
Gu Tingmo stepped forward and pulled Shen Jia into his arms.
Seeing his actions, Su Yaoyao's eyelids twitched. Just as she was about to say something, Gu Tingmo spoke first.
"Miss Su, I heard that Madam Yu has been good to you. Now that she is unwell and hospitalized, why don't you go to visit her? Instead, you're here eating, drinking, and having fun with others?"
As Gu Tingmo spoke, he glanced at Shen Jia.
Su Yaoyao was stunned for a moment; "What did you say? Grandma is in the hospital?"
Gu Tingmo smiled and the corners of his lips curved up; "What, you don't know?"
"If you go at this time, you'll probably just make it in time for her to be taken off the emergency room."
Su Yaoyao panicked. Emergency room?
Is Grandma's illness that serious?
Which hospital is Grandma in?
Seeing her anxious expression, Gu Tingmo smiled and said, "How about I have my assistant take you there?"
Su Yaoyao frowned as she looked at Shen Jia, who could barely stand.
Seeing Su Yaoyao's hesitation, Gu Tingmo spoke again: "You can leave Miss Shen to me. In fact, she's like a little sister to me, so you don't need to worry about me bullying her."
Su Yaoyao thought to herself that what he said made sense. If he really dared to do something, he would probably have a hard time explaining himself to Nan Jiangmu.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Gu."
Gu Tingmo revealed a smug smile; "You're welcome."
Shen Jia probably never expected Su Yaoyao to abandon him and run away, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Su Yao... Yao, you're disloyal!"
Gu Tingmo grabbed her collar and suddenly moved close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive nape.
“They’re going to see their mother-in-law. As for you… Shen Jia, let’s settle our accounts.”
Shen Jia froze. The extremely dangerous light in the man's eyes made her feel a little scared. Had Gu Tingmo already noticed something?
...
Su Yaoyao arrived at the hospital close to one in the morning.
They sped along, shortening the journey from forty minutes to half.
After finding out which ward Madam Yu was in from her assistant, Su Yaoyao got out of the car and went straight to the emergency room where Madam Yu was.
There weren't many people in the hospital at night, but the floor where the old lady lived was unusually lively.
"Chi Yan, don't worry, Grandma will be fine."
Yu Chiyan leaned against the wall, the cool-toned light shining on his face, making his already indifferent and handsome face even more aloof and cold.
Su Qingqing looked very tired, but she still patiently comforted Yu Chiyan.
The man suddenly looked up and glanced at her. His cold gaze made Su Qingqing's heart skip a beat.
She forced a stiff smile; "Wh...what's wrong, Chi Yan?"
The man frowned slightly, his tone heavy: "You can call me President Yu, just like them."
Su Qingqing's smile instantly froze. What did Yu Chiyan mean by this?
This old geezer is sick and hospitalized, and she has been staying with him here until now. The first thing he said to her was that he disliked how she addressed him. How could he be so heartless?
Su Qingqing's eyes reddened, filled with grievance and resentment; "Chi Yan..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the emergency room suddenly went out, and Nan Jiangmu, wearing a white coat, walked out.
"Chi Yan, the old lady is fine now, you don't need to worry."
Su Yaoyao, who had just reached the corridor, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Grandma is alright, that's great.
"That's wonderful, Dr. Nan, thank you so much for today."
Su Qingqing stood beside Yu Chiyan, expressing her gratitude. Her worried and anxious appearance made her seem like a relative of Old Madam Yu.
Soon, the semi-conscious Madam Yu was wheeled out by two nurses.
The elderly man was wearing a blue and white hospital gown, his aged face showing fatigue and illness.
"Madam, you're finally alright. Chi Yan and I were so worried about you."
Su Qingqing immediately knelt down in front of the old lady's bed, her voice filled with lingering fear.
Yu Chiyan also stepped forward and took her aged hand in his; "Grandma, how are you?"
When Madam Yu saw Su Qingqing, there was some displeasure in her eyes, but considering that Su Qingqing had been waiting here with her until now, she restrained herself a bit, though her tone remained somewhat indifferent.
"Miss Su, thank you for your hard work today."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yu Chiyan. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed Su Yaoyao, who had been standing at the end of the corridor for who knows how long.
The old man's eyes lit up, and he became excited. "Yaoyao, is that you, Yaoyao? You've come to see me?"
