Chapter Seven: Oh my god, are you sick?
Chapter Seven: Oh my god, are you sick?
Chapter Seven: Oh my god, if you're sick, don't come here.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
They wanted to stop it but were powerless to do so.
Xia Chengjie had already anticipated the outcome and resignedly closed his eyes.
Quietly awaiting the onset of pain.
It's not that he resigned himself to fate, it's that he was too clear-headed.
He knew perfectly well that Gu Tingxiao would not compromise for him, and no one could influence Gu Tingxiao's decision.
Since he has chosen Shen Shuyun, he will always protect him.
This multiple-choice question had no other options from the beginning; he was the one who was willing to be sacrificed from the start.
He knew this would be the outcome, so why did he keep hoping to get an explanation from him?
It was because he was unwilling to accept it, and he still harbored a small hope that Gu Tingxiao would still favor him as he did when they were children.
Even just a little bit would be good.
He and Gu Tingxiao grew up together, and no one understood Gu Tingxiao better than him.
Gu Tingxiao has his own set of principles for handling things.
To put it nicely, it's called stubbornness; to put it bluntly, it's called obstinacy.
Gu Tingxiao is domineering, autocratic, and stubborn.
Once you've made a decision, you won't go back.
He wouldn't listen to any advice; he firmly believed only in himself.
For an ordinary person, this kind of personality would be humiliated and humiliated by society.
Gu Tingxiao was a favorite of heaven, and his life was smooth sailing.
Occasionally, when making decisions, the goal may be achieved due to various unexpected events.
Privately, he often said that he was the favorite son of Heaven and the chosen one of destiny.
Gu Tingxiao didn't care at all, arrogantly saying that it was all due to his own abilities.
This can be considered another form of arrogance.
The engagement seemed like a cruel joke played by fate.
Their two families have been on good terms for generations, even their grandfathers' generation.
By their father's generation, they were even closer friends.
The two families already had a marriage agreement, which was casually decided by the two old men while playing chess.
The mother gave birth to two sons in a row.
Mother Gu hoped that if she could give birth to a daughter, her children could become in-laws.
Who knew she would give birth to Gu Tingxiao, her son?
When his mother was pregnant with him, she often talked about him to Gu's mother.
If it were a daughter, they could easily become in-laws.
Xia Chengjie was the embodiment of the whole family's hopes even when he was still in his mother's womb.
When Xia's mother was six months old, she had a full check-up.
The doctor confirmed with Xia's mother that she was carrying a girl.
The two families were overjoyed and arranged the marriage between him and Gu Tingxiao.
But fate played a cruel joke.
After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth.
It turned out to be a boy.
Both families were in a dilemma: how could the two boys be arranged to marry?
Xia's parents originally intended to talk to the old man and break off the engagement.
After all, the Xia family already had three sons and didn't want to have any more.
Because Gu's mother suffered a difficult childbirth while giving birth to Gu Tingxiao, it is unlikely that she will have a daughter.
But something happened just as they were deciding to break off the engagement at home.
The Xia family suffered a misfortune when a group of tombs was suddenly discovered beneath the land they had planned to build.
The government intervened in the excavation, the project stalled, and the funds were tied up.
Adding to the woes, changes in national policy dealt a double blow to the Xia family's real estate business.
The entire Xia family was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.
Grandpa Xia was also hospitalized with a cerebral thrombosis due to emotional distress caused by a series of news reports.
The hospital issued two critical condition notices in a row.
One thing after another happened, catching the Xia family off guard.
The Xia family had no time to deal with the engagement; they were frantically mobilizing all their connections in hopes of getting through this crisis as soon as possible.
His marriage to Gu Tingxiao was thus delayed.
The Gu family provided strong support and assistance during this crisis.
The adults were busy getting through the crisis and cleaning up the mess.
The children in the family are left to their own devices and no one takes care of them.
The Xia family had three sons at that time: the eldest son Xia Chenggan, the second son Xia Chengjun, and Xia Chengjie, who was less than five months old.
When the incident occurred, Xia's father did not hesitate to pack up his eldest and second sons and send them abroad.
He worried that he would not be able to protect his son during the subsequent turmoil.
It was also to preserve a lineage for the Xia family and to leave a way out for their two sons.
The third child, Xia Chengjie, was too young to leave, so he stayed at home and was cared for by a nanny.
Xia's mother was always running around, so she rarely came home.
Add to that the various rumors about the Xia family going bankrupt.
The nanny didn't take very good care of them, but the kids wouldn't complain anyway.
Xia's mother and the others are too busy to notice.
It just so happened that Gu Tingxiao happened to see it.
Six-year-old Gu Tingxiao boasted to others that he had a fiancée.
He was still a baby. As soon as he saw his face, he smiled like a silly little guy. It was so funny.
The other children didn't believe it, but Gu Tingxiao, the leader of the group, was also a man of action.
He sneaked in with a group of his underlings to see Xia Chengjie.
To everyone's surprise, Xia Chengjie was found abandoned in the nursery, with no one caring for him.
Xia Chengjie's face was flushed from crying, and he looked like he might faint at any moment.
The future domineering CEO Gu Tingxiao immediately became furious.
She hurriedly held the baby and then used her smartwatch to call the housekeeper.
The housekeeper, accompanied by bodyguards, stormed into the Xia family home and arrested both the nanny and the bodyguards.
Gu Tingxiao, who has always been methodical in his work, once he figured things out, sent everyone to Xia's parents to handle.
After a thorough examination by the family doctor, a nanny from Gujia was brought in to change Xia Chengjie's clothes and diapers and even feed him milk.
Looking at that chubby face, Gu Tingxiao showered all his affection on this little boy.
These are accounts relayed by family members.
From the time Xia Chengjie could remember, Gu Tingxiao was his older brother, friend, and playmate.
She is the most important person to him.
He followed Gu Tingxiao like a little tail.
No matter how wildly Gu Tingxiao played, no matter how many people were around, he didn't care.
They would all turn around, as if picking up a puppy, pull him to their side, and introduce him to everyone.
This is someone I've got my back; you can just call him Young Master Xia.
He so domineeringly and biasedly declared that this person was under his protection.
To cause trouble for him is to cause trouble for Gu Tingxiao.
They grew up together like this.
He once thought that even as they grew up, they would still remain the same.
Gu Tingxiao will still take him under his wing and protect him.
Unfortunately, everything changed after that woman appeared.
He was no longer Gu Tingxiao's darling.
The woman forcefully took his place and pushed him out.
Gu Tingxiao forcefully declared that the woman was his true love.
She is the love of my life, and I want to spend my whole life with her.
He disregarded the annulment of the engagement and got engaged in a high-profile manner.
Xia Chengjie was unwilling to accept it and wanted to ask if it was worth it.
For such a fake woman, whose true motives are obvious at a glance.
Is it worth it?
He didn't get to hear Gu Tingxiao say it himself.
He can't see anyone.
Gu Tingxiao refused to see him.
He went to his home, his company, and searched everywhere, but he couldn't find him.
So it turns out, hiding from someone can be so easy.
Xia Chengjie understood that Gu Tingxiao was using this method to tell him.
Gu Tingxiao chose Shen Shuyun.
Xia Chengjie understood, but he was unwilling to accept it.
The pain brought Xia Chengjie to his senses as the knife pierced his body.
He should wake up!
All those good things were just unattainable dreams for him.
Hehehehe.
Xia Chengjie didn't cry, but laughed, a heart-wrenching laugh.
It turns out that when a person's heart is breaking, they truly cannot shed a single tear.
Everyone present was taken aback by this reaction.
Old Yang instinctively roared, "What are you laughing at?"
Xia Chengjie didn't answer, but held Lao Yang's hand tightly and plunged the knife deeper into his body.
Old Yang wanted to teach Xia Chengjie a lesson.
This will dissuade him from his rebellious thoughts.
This also taught Gu Tingxiao a lesson.
Tell him to let them go as soon as possible and not to cause any trouble.
He held back his strength, not intending to stab too deep, and chose a less important spot.
He never expected that Xia Chengjie, who had always been quiet, was also a madman who would actually stab himself.
He met Xia Chengjie's crazed eyes.
Old Yang felt a chill run down his spine.
He cursed repeatedly, "Madmen! They're all madmen!"
Xia Chengjie fell down, and the bodyguards around him took the opportunity to attack.
One bodyguard restrained Lao Wu, while another quickly pulled the terrified Shen Shuyun behind him.
Gu Tingxiao rushed up and kicked Old Yang away.
That kick was too vicious, sending Old Yang flying as he crashed into the trunk with a loud bang.
Zhou Ran, inside the trunk, gripped the gun tightly in her hand.
He sensed something was wrong and had already pulled out his gun, gripping it tightly, ready to fight at any moment.
A loud thud came from above, followed by Old Yang's scream.
Zhou Ran cursed inwardly.
"Don't move! You're bleeding!"
Gu Tingxiao hurried a few steps and squatted down to examine Xia Chengjie's wound.
The knife was still stuck in the wound, and blood kept gushing out.
Gu Tingxiao had some medical knowledge and knew that he couldn't pull out the knife at this time, as it would cause excessive blood loss.
"Cough cough, it hurts so much!"
Meeting those familiar eyes, Xia Chengjie cried out in pain, feeling wronged.
Seeing the fleeting pity in those eyes, Xia Chengjie smiled.
"Don't move, the doctor will be here soon, you'll be fine!"
Shen Shuyun rushed over and leaned against Gu Tingxiao's side, looking equally nervous.
Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
"Young Master Xia, how are you? You're bleeding so much!"
Shen Shuyun shouted in a loud, clamorous voice.
Xia Chengjie frowned. This woman was both noisy and pretentious. He wasn't even dead yet, so why was she crying at his grave?
"Wait until I die before you mourn!"
"Waaah... I'm so sorry!"
Shen Shuyun shed tears of grievance and carefully tugged at Gu Tingxiao's sleeve.
He explained in a low voice, "I didn't mean to curse Young Master Xia."
Gu Tingxiao gently patted Shen Shuyun's hand to comfort him.
“That’s not what A-Jie meant.”
Zhou Ran, sitting in the trunk, couldn't help but roll her eyes.
They've all been stabbed; they're about to die.
They're still talking about love and getting jealous of each other?
Are you risking your life? Are you sick? You're seriously ill!
While the three were talking, they didn't notice that Old Yang had pulled out a hidden knife and rushed towards Gu Tingxiao's back.
If Zhou Ran could see this, she would definitely complain vehemently.
With so many bodyguards, why didn't anyone come over and subdue all the bandits?
Regardless of anything else, first search them and disarm them.
Waiting for the bad guys to seize an opportunity to retaliate is just plain suicidal.
At this critical moment.
Xia Chengjie, lying on the ground, sensed danger and rushed over, throwing himself at Gu Tingxiao without a second thought.
Just as Old Yang swung his knife at Xia Chengjie again.
Shen Shuyun had already been pushed to the ground and watched helplessly as the knife stabbed towards Xia Chengjie, too frightened to move.
Gu Tingxiao couldn't help but shout, "No! Ah Jie, get out of the way!!"
