Gu Chen took the book, which was already worn and frayed from being read so many times, and looked at the title on the cover: "One Hundred Ways to Make Your Girlfriend Love You More and More".
He couldn't help but show a look of disgust, but his hands flipped through the book faster than his brain, and he even looked at the table of contents and flipped to the thirty-eighth method that Qin Huan had mentioned.
Gu Chen frowned even more disdainfully as he looked at the subheading: "Skilled at using ambiguity to highlight one's own value."
He quickly skimmed through the specific steps, which can be summarized as: find a suitable girl, flirt with her, make his girlfriend jealous, and thus make her realize his importance.
When Gu Chen was thinking about a problem, his long, slender fingers habitually tapped lightly on the seat.
Although he felt uncomfortable when any female creature other than Little Softie got close to him, he inexplicably felt that doing so was acceptable.
Isn't it because he feels uncomfortable that Xiao Ruanruan is getting too close to Chen Jie?
If he could make Xiaoruanruan feel this discomfort in a proper way, Xiaoruanruan would probably understand, right?
The problem now is where he can find a suitable girl who won't make Xiaoruanruan completely misunderstand their relationship?
After getting out of Qin Huan's car, Gu Chen pondered this question as he walked home.
He walked, and Qiu Shun will naturally come and take the car he drove out later.
As Gu Chen walked to the manor gate, he saw Qiu Shun hurriedly leading Uncle Zhong out of the manor. At the manor gate, a young girl wearing a faded blue cloth dress was pushing a wheelchair, in which sat a gaunt man.
Uncle Zhong followed Qiu Shun out, and when he saw the middle-aged man, his eyes were filled with surprise and excitement. "It's you! What brings you here?"
Before the man could even speak, his lips were already trembling, not from excitement, but from physical weakness and exhaustion.
The man seemed to have used all his strength before finally speaking, "Uncle Zhong, I've come to see Mr. and Mrs. Zhong. May I go and see them?"
As he spoke, he took out an old men's pocket watch from his pocket with trembling hands.
This was a keepsake given to him by Gu Chen's father, Gu Zhi, after he saved Gu Chen's mother, Jian Shi. Gu Zhi said that if he encountered any difficulties, he could take the keepsake to the Gu family for help at any time.
Uncle Zhong looked at the pocket watch in his trembling hand, a hint of sadness appearing in his already somewhat cloudy eyes. "The master and madam are both gone..."
The man's eyes also lowered, and his expression darkened.
Gu Chen walked over and said, "What do you want from my parents? You can tell me. They're gone, but I can repay the favors they owed."
The man looked at Gu Chen, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes. He excitedly reached out and took the little girl's hand beside him, his voice trembling as he said, "I don't have much time left. The only thing I can't let go of in this world is this child. I came to find you and your wife because I wanted to entrust this child to them so that they could take care of her and help her study so that she could grow up properly."
If possible, I would also like to ask the young master to help take care of him.
After the man finished speaking such a long sentence with all his might, his body could no longer support him. He was panting heavily, but he was still exhaling more air than inhaling!
Gu Chen glanced calmly at Qiu Shun and said, "Take him to the Su family's medical room!"
His manor doesn't have a medical room, mainly because the manor lacks one function, which gives him another excuse to go to the Su family's place.
Qiu Shun immediately picked up the man and rushed towards the Su family.
Gu Chen followed closely behind.
Bored, Xiao Ruanruan was fishing with her sister by the lake when she saw Uncle Qiu Shun carrying someone into the house. Forget about fishing, she dropped her fishing rod and ran into the house after him.
They bumped right into Gu Chen, who was following closely behind Qiu Shun.
Little Ruanruan instinctively grabbed Gu Chen's hand. "Brother Gu Chen, what happened? Who was the person Uncle Qiu Shun carried inside just now?"
Gu Chen felt that soft, boneless little hand, and the gloom in his heart dissipated a bit. "An old friend of my parents' came to me for help. I want to try to see if I can cure him."
“I’ll go with you,” Little Softie said immediately.
Although she didn't enjoy treating people, treating people was still more interesting than just sitting around fishing.
Gu Chen looked at Xiao Ruanruan with his dark, deep eyes. The two nodded in tacit agreement, changed into sterile gowns together, and entered the medical room.
In the medical room, the man had already fallen into a coma.
Gu Chen and Xiao Ruanruan immediately began to examine him, but the results left them both speechless: melanoma, with cancer cells that had spread throughout his body.
There was truly no hope left; in fact, it was a miracle that this man had managed to hold on until now.
Xiao Ruanruan looked at the man lying on the hospital bed wearing an oxygen mask. She knew that if the oxygen mask were removed, the man would die within half an hour.
When the illness reaches this stage, any medical intervention is no longer meaningful.
Even if we use machines to prolong a patient's life, it only means that the patient has to endure the pain and suffering for a longer period of time.
Gu Chen, through the sterile gown, led Xiao Ruan Ruan out by the hand. Uncle Zhong had already arrived and was waiting outside with Qiu Shun, keeping the girl in the blue dress company.
Seeing Gu Chen and Xiao Ruanruan come out, the girl in the blue dress looked at Gu Chen, and her thin hands nervously and awkwardly clutched her skirt. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Mr. Gu... how is my father?"
She didn't know how to address Gu Chen, so she hesitated for a moment before deciding on "Mr. Gu".
Gu Chen shook his head slightly, then changed out of his protective suit and said to the girl, "Melanoma. The cancer cells have spread throughout her body. The equipment can extend her life by about three days."
He will die within half an hour of the equipment being removed.
You can go in and see him first, then make a decision.
The girl in the blue dress burst into tears as she walked into the medical room, wiping them away.
Little Ruanruan is small, so she was a bit slower changing out of her protective suit. By the time she finished changing and came out, the girl in the blue dress had already entered the medical room.
She glanced habitually at Gu Chen, who was frowning and staring at the medical room. Gu Chen felt Xiao Ruanruan's gaze and instinctively wanted to tell her about their identities and what he knew, but he swallowed the words back.
Be indifferent, be aloof!
Only then can the plan to make Xiao Ruanruan jealous be implemented.
