chapter
On the other side, Li Suian followed Gu Xiuyi and ran towards the elevator at full speed, his long legs almost giving off a four-wheel drive effect, while he grabbed his cell phone and yelled.
"Hello, is this the nurse's station? Did anyone visit your VIP ward just now?"
"Yes?! Stop him!"
"What, already in?!"
"It's been a while since I went in?!"
bite!
The elevator door opened, Li Suian hung up the phone and strode out, pointing at the confused nurse who was still covering the receiver: "How do you do things! Huh?! You dare to let anyone in? Do you know this is a VIP?!"
The young nurse saw a group of tall men walking with the wind flashing in the corridor, followed by tall and strong bodyguards. The leader, Mr. Gu, looked solemn as if he was going to the battlefield for his country.
The little girl was so scared that she hiccuped and her legs went limp: “I, I, I, I, I…”
"What do you mean by you?" Li Suian interrupted: "If someone comes, don't they know to call Mr. Gu to confirm? They just let him in like this. Haven't you received any training?"
The young nurse was about to cry: "Kekekekeke, Mr. Han didn't call when he came before..."
"Before... before, what Mr. Han?"
"It's Han Han Han Xiaolin," the nurse said in a trembling voice, "I looked at the registration form and he used to come to visit often. He also brought a bouquet of flowers. I, I, I, I let him in."
The young nurse was really aggrieved. Many people knew that Ji Ruan had a friend named Han who came to visit the patient from time to time. In the past, they only had to register every time, so why did they have to report to Mr. Gu this time, and make such a big fuss?
Li Suian's brain short-circuited for a moment, and then he remembered that Ji Ruan had a friend named Han, who had visited Ji Ruan several times with flowers in his arms.
He slammed the table and said, "Is this what Han Xiaolin looks like? He is so skinny that he is unrecognizable."
Nurse: “I haven’t seen him before!”
This was the first time she encountered "Han Xiaolin" coming to visit a patient while on duty. In the past, she was always received by other colleagues. She never thought that the person today might be an imposter, and she had no intention of confirming the surveillance.
Li Suian was choked by the girl and was speechless. He raised his index finger and said, "You, you you you..."
Beep--beep--
The urgent sound of the alarm interrupted Li Suian's words.
Song Ling had been following behind Gu Xiuyi, and at that moment he saw Gu Xiuyi's back stiffen.
Then he raised his leg and kicked the door open with a bang. The door panel hit the wall with great force, shaking the window sill opposite.
In the room, Bai Yue was standing at the end of the bed in horror, but Ji Ruan did not lie down on the bed as Li Suian's doctor had instructed. Instead, he lay prone on the ground with pale cheeks and a string of blood beads rolling on the back of his hand.
Gu Xiuyi's eyes went dark for a moment, and his temples kept twitching, as if the blood was surging up and was about to burst out of his veins like crazy.
He moved faster than he knew and picked up Ji Ruan: "Didn't I tell you not to get out of bed?!"
But Ji Ruan's eyes were full of confusion, his eyebrows were delicately furrowed, and he looked dazed and at a loss after being frightened.
Gu Xiuyi's heart was bleeding. He couldn't imagine what Bai Yue had done to scare Ji Ruan like this.
His chest heaved, his arms were stiff, and his back was slightly hunched like a frightened bird.
After a while, he steadied his breathing and kissed Ji Ruan's ear, with an extremely restrained tenderness beneath his brutality.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I will definitely cure you."
The bodyguard was a man who knew how to be gentle with women. When he saw Ji Ruan's appearance, he was immediately filled with righteous indignation. Without Gu Xiuyi's instructions, he stepped forward, grabbed Bai Yue by the collar and threw him out.
A large number of medical staff arrived shortly afterwards, treated the wound on the back of Ji Ruan's hand, and put the oxygen mask back on him. Li Suian stayed behind to check his ears again.
Bai Yue was thrown into an empty lounge where there was no internet or signal. He sat there waiting for a long time, until his heart was as cold as ice, before he finally waited for Gu Xiuyi.
Gu Xiuyi was no longer as out of control as before. His shirt and tie were neatly arranged. He took Song Ling to sit on the sofa opposite.
He didn't speak immediately, just stared at Bai Yue quietly.
Bai Yue couldn't understand Gu Xiuyi's expression, or rather, there was no expression on his face, making it completely impossible to figure out what was going on. But deep in his eyes, there seemed to be an unspeakable darkness and gloom, which made Bai Yue's scalp tingle.
"I..." He said stubbornly, "I really didn't touch him. I didn't mean to do it..."
Gu Xiuyi gently fiddled with the wedding ring on his ring finger without responding. Instead, he took the information handed to him by Song Ling and threw it in front of Bai Yue.
"But you're going to goad him with this, aren't you?"
Bai Yue suddenly clenched his fingers and licked his lips in panic.
After a long while, he slowly raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes: "...Aren't these the facts?"
He stared at Gu Xiuyi's eyes intently, afraid of missing any hidden emotions in them.
"You used to like me..."
"That's why you subconsciously chose to marry someone who looks like me. Even though you don't love me now, you have to admit that I was the one who made you fall in love in the beginning."
His tears slid down his cheeks, and he looked at Gu Xiuyi with an extremely sober yet extremely out of control look: "Is it wrong for me to tell him the truth?"
To be honest, Bai Yue is not bad looking, with a fair face, regular features, and a thin but straight back. When he looks at people with tears in his eyes, there is a sense of pity in him.
At least most people in the world would be moved when they see this picture, regardless of whether they know him or not.
But Gu Xiuyi turned a blind eye. There was no ripple on his face and he was unmoved by Bai Yue's tears.
All he could think about was how to tell Ji Ruan about the surgery. The child seemed to be unusually afraid and resistant to surgery.
Feeling depressed, Gu Xiuyi was in no mood to deal with Bai Yue, and said directly: "I think you misunderstood."
Bai Yue chuckled: "Why, do you want to deny it?"
Gu Xiuyi shook his head: "Although I have never liked you, and marrying Ji Ruan has nothing to do with you, but I want to tell you that Ji Ruan is not the person I chose to marry."
Bai Yue was startled, then laughed as if he had heard something ridiculous: "What do you mean, do you want to say that someone forced you to get married?"
Gu Xiuyi leaned loosely on the sofa, with his legs crossed and his fingers clasped together. This posture made Bai Yue feel particularly irritated.
He remembered clearly that the first time he saw Ji Ruan in the studio, that person was sitting in this posture, looking at him with a very nonchalant look.
Gu Xiuyi said calmly: "It may be difficult for you to accept this, but I have to tell you that my marriage partner was carefully selected by the secretarial team according to the needs."
"At that time, they thought Ji Ruan was young, excellent, had no relatives and could be free from worries, and had a good image and temperament, so they took the initiative to contact me and sincerely invited Ji Ruan to complete a marriage relationship with me."
"It's a pity that they don't know you." Gu Xiuyi smiled: "And I don't care who I marry."
As he spoke, a hint of tenderness suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Because he is Ji Ruan, things began to turn around and become different. All the variables are on him, just because he is Ji Ruan, it has nothing to do with anyone else."
"As for your mistaken belief that I like Ji Ruan because he is similar to you ten years ago, I feel very sorry. This is probably a manifestation of delusion."
He raised his eyebrows: "Anyway, I am very grateful to my secretarial team. When Ji Ruan is better, we will invite them to sit at the main table at our wedding."
"Do you have any more questions?"
Bai Yue sat there stiffly.
Gu Xiuyi's words were calm but extremely hurtful. He has always been good at using the simplest words to hurt and attack others, but his temper has been improved a lot by Ji Ruan in recent days, and it seems that many people have forgotten that this is his usual image.
Bai Yue's fantasy of many years was ruthlessly shattered. He was unable to react for a moment, and even felt a sense of weightlessness as if his faith was shattered and the earth was collapsing.
Countless indescribable painful emotions flashed across his face, eventually turning into confusion and collapse.
"Delusion?" Bai Yue laughed out loud in extreme disappointment. "So you want to put me in a mental hospital as well? Treat me like a beast just like Lin Qing?"
Gu Xiuyi pursed his lips, as if puzzled: "Of course not, don't you know that your family has gone bankrupt?"
He knew very well that telling Bai Yue this now would undoubtedly be a second critical hit, but he didn't care. There were very few things in the world that he cared about.
"Not only are they bankrupt, they are also heavily in debt. I heard that your parents packed up and fled abroad early in the morning. Those debts will probably fall on you."
At this moment, Bai Yue looked really miserable.
Gu Xiuyi paused and gave a hint of comfort: "But it doesn't matter. The customs and airport had received a notice restricting exit before then. They can't leave. Your family still has a chance to reunite in prison."
Bai Yue's face turned red and veins bulged on his forehead. It seemed that there was a mouthful of blood pressing on his heart, and he would vomit it out with the slightest stimulation.
Gu Xiuyi was not a person who would take advantage of others' misfortunes. He would not go too far. He stood up, straightened his collar and prepared to leave: "You must be very busy today, and there are people waiting to see you later. I will not take up your precious time."
Bai Yue's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Gu Xiuyi with his remaining rationality: "Who is it?"
He clearly didn't make any appointments with anyone today.
Gu Xiuyi frowned: "Don't you know that your father borrowed money from a loan shark?"
Bai Yue suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with unspeakable fear.
Song Ling added quietly: "He knows. He borrowed the money on his own initiative. Now people are coming to his door."
Gu Xiuyi understood and ordered Song Ling: "Hand him over, don't let those people make a fuss and disturb Ji Ruan's sleep."
Song Ling suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
Gu Xiuyi nodded, opened the door and left.
Before turning the corner, he heard a "bang" from inside, probably Bai Yue had fainted.
