Yu Sheng was discharged from the hospital the day before the wedding banquet.
Gu didn't go to the company. He got up early in the morning, served Yu Sheng breakfast, and then went to handle her discharge procedures.
Yu Sheng's foot injury is about 70-80% healed, and she can walk without problems as long as she doesn't walk too fast or too far.
Gu was also worried and wouldn't let her walk an inch more, insisting that she sit in a wheelchair.
Yu Sheng felt that Gu was making a mountain out of a molehill, but Gu refused to back down and simply pressed her into the wheelchair and pushed her away.
As he pushed the car closer, she stood up to get in. He swept her up in his arms and lifted her into the car, then thoughtfully fastened her seatbelt before getting into the driver's seat.
Just as the car left the hospital, Gu's phone, which was on the center console, rang.
He could easily control the car with one hand and answer the phone with the other, but in order to interact with Yu Sheng, he said, "Sheng Sheng, turn on speakerphone for me."
Yu Sheng saw right through Gu Ye's little scheme.
She didn't say much, picked up her phone, and found that it was Yu Jing calling.
Since Yu Jing used Charles's successful surgery on Xiao Cheng to blackmail her into not divorcing Gu Ye, she hasn't seen her again. She did call her a few times, but all the calls were just to tell her to take good care of her injuries. It wasn't that she cared about her; she was just afraid that she would be laughed at if she attended the wedding with a limp.
Yu Sheng didn't tell Yu Jing about being discharged from the hospital.
But judging from this phone call, Yu Jing knew.
Just as she expected, as soon as the call connected, Yu Jing's cheerful voice came through—
"Gu Ye, when are you and Sheng Sheng coming back?"
"Mom, we just left the hospital. If there's no traffic, it should take about half an hour!"
“That’s perfect. It will take Sister Wang half an hour to finish cooking. You can eat as soon as you get home. I’ll cook your favorite braised pork myself.”
"I haven't had this dish made by you in a long time. Now that you're talking about it, my mouth is watering."
Yu Sheng listened to their conversation and sneered.
When she was discharged from the hospital, her biological mother didn't even offer a word of comfort. Instead, she specially made braised pork, Gu Ye's favorite dish. How ironic!
Although she had long been used to Yu Jing not taking her seriously, these unintentional little things still pricked her heart like thorns.
She couldn't be bothered to listen to what they were saying anymore. She tossed her phone onto the center console and turned to look out the window.
When I saw a shopping mall, I suddenly remembered that I had bought a fountain pen for Shang Yan.
So, I sent Sheng Ning a message: [Are you busy this afternoon? Want to go shopping?]
During Yu Sheng's hospitalization, Sheng Ning visited her once and learned that she was being discharged today.
Soon, Sheng Ning sent a sweating emoji: [Shopping? Girl, are you sure you're not kidding me? The first requirement for shopping is having two healthy feet. Are your feet even up to it?]
It seems... it's really not working!
The mall is huge, and her feet are just right, so she probably won't be able to walk around it once before she gets too tired!
But she really wanted to go!
It's not that I'm in a hurry to buy Shang Yan a fountain pen, it's that I don't want to stay at home and face Yu Jing!
But her feet...
When Yu Sheng had a headache, she suddenly thought of a wheelchair.
Yu Sheng: [My legs are weak, but I can use a wheelchair. You can push me.]
Sheng Ning: 【...Who told you to be my sister? If I don't spoil you, who will!】
As Yu Sheng smiled faintly at the message from Sheng Ning, Gu Ye, who had ended his call with Yu Jing at some point, asked, "Who are you texting? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Yu Sheng turned off her screen, suppressed the corners of her lips, and replied indifferently, "Sheng Ning."
Gu Ye asked again, "What did you say?"
"A topic for girls."
Seeing that Yu Sheng was unwilling to talk to him, Gu Ye didn't want to make a fool of himself by asking more questions.
After pressing a few buttons on the center console display, the piano rendition of "Nocturne in C-sharp minor" flowed out...
Yu Sheng's expression changed drastically, and her mind uncontrollably flashed back to the day she performed on stage while he and Jiang were making a dirty scene in the audience.
Suddenly, a flame of anger ignited in my chest, which had been calm for several days.
Gu was unaware of Yu Sheng's unusual behavior; he was engrossed in the music, his hands rhythmically tapping on the steering wheel.
"Did you recognize it? This is the piece you played at Christmas... Ever since that day, I've been listening to it on repeat whenever I'm driving, completely absorbed in it. You played it absolutely brilliantly that day!"
Are you completely absorbed in it?
Are they captivated by the music?
Or is he still reveling in the thrill of his affair with Jiang Jiang?
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.
She was indeed quite angry when she recalled the despicable things he had done.
But Jiang is dead, and she has decided to divorce Xiao Cheng after his surgery, so there's nothing more to say.
Yu Sheng tapped the screen heavily, and the piano music stopped abruptly.
Gu Ye then noticed that Yu Sheng was acting strangely and looked at her, asking, "What's wrong? You were fine just now, why are you suddenly unhappy?"
"From now on, don't play this song in front of me!"
Yu Sheng finished speaking with an icy expression, leaving Gu Ye with only the back of her head indifferently.
Gu Ye withdrew his gaze, and as he looked straight ahead, his gentle, smiling face gradually darkened.
How could someone as intelligent as him not be able to guess the reason from Yu Sheng's words and reaction?
When he thought about how Jiang Jiang had told him about their affair at the Yusheng performance, he felt it was a good thing she was dead; otherwise, he would have made her wish she were dead!
The two remained silent for the rest of the journey.
The day after tomorrow is the day Yu Sheng goes out, and the merchants have already made preparations.
However, the bright red "double happiness" character pasted on the front door and the decorations inside the house did not exude joy in Yu Sheng's eyes, but rather mockery and sarcasm.
Yu Jing had been waiting inside for a long time. Seeing the two of them enter, she immediately greeted them with a beaming smile: "You're back! Quickly wash your hands and eat. Sister Wang, go and call the master..."
