Chapter 76, Bai Yueguang's Female Supporting Role
Gu Wan turned and looked at him.
"I'm fine."
Fu Jinyu received an urgent call and needed to return to the company. While in the car, he wondered which side of Gu Wan was truly the best? Today's situation would have likely caused anyone else to cry several times, but Gu Wan didn't shed a single tear. She was even surprisingly calm. She had a temper, but she never let him see it. Perhaps she had, once because of the teardrop mole under her eye, and once a few days ago.
Gu Wan stayed with her in the hospital all day, until seven or eight in the evening. She woke up, but was still very weak. She had a gastric tube and had difficulty speaking.
The nurse was also sitting next to him.
"Wanwan, today is your birthday. Happy birthday."
Gu Wan pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Auntie."
At nine o'clock in the evening, the doctor came and said that her condition was stable. Gu Wan had no plans to go back. She had not eaten for a day, so she was going to go out to a restaurant near the hospital to buy some food. However, just as she left the hospital, she saw fireworks not far away, grand and dazzling, in the direction of the amusement park.
Gu Wan stood at the entrance of the hospital where people were coming and going, and looked up. The fireworks were fleeting, just like people's hearts.
Fu Jinyu was reminded by Assistant He and picked up his phone tiredly. He had also been in meetings all day today.
"Wanwan, happy birthday. I can't go watch the fireworks with you."
Gu Wan held the phone and said, "It's okay. I've seen him. He's in the hospital."
Fu Jinyu leaned back in his chair and said, "We will definitely make it up to you in the future."
Gu Wan is not a person with a strong sense of ritual and doesn't care.
"Okay, thank you, Fu Jinyu."
Fu Jinyu hung up the phone with a smile on his face.
The last time Assistant He saw Gu Wan was when he went to deliver clothes. He didn't know what had happened during this period, but judging from his boss's performance, they should get along very well. Miss Gu is a smart person.
Three years passed quickly.
Gu Wan has been studying clinical medicine for five years and is about to graduate. She has published SCI papers during her undergraduate studies. The hospital has made a special application for her and, considering her family situation, wanted to waive her tuition fees, but she refused.
The tutor looked at Gu Wan in the office.
"You should have received the email as well. Everything respects your personal choice."
Gu Wan smiled and nodded, "Okay, I know, thank you." As soon as she walked out of the office, she received a call from Zhao Chaoxu.
"Hey, Miss Gu, what time are you planning to arrive?" Zhao Chaoxu's tone was very teasing. He treated Gu Wan as a friend. Also, because she was the only person besides Xu Wan who could stay with Fu Jinyu for three years, he always felt that the two of them would get married.
Gu Wan smiled and walked out of the school with the book in her hand.
"Right away. I just came out of the office."
Zhao Chaoxu had come into contact with Gu Wan quite a bit in the past few years. "Okay, I'll wait for you. Come on, today is Old Master's 31st birthday. If none of us can't come, you can come too."
Gu Wan hung up the phone, went back to her residence, changed into a dress, and sat down to put on makeup. She rarely wore makeup, and she had changed a lot in three years. Her relationship with Fu Jinyu was getting better and better. She had completed her mission, and the rest was no longer under her control.
She was preparing to go abroad, but she had to finish the play here. She deliberately touched up the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye. The person in the mirror, with bright white teeth, looked even more beautiful. She took a taxi and told him a place.
Along the way, Zhao Chaoxu kept sending her exaggerated messages, asking her to come soon.
Gu Wan just felt helpless. It was not certain whether Fu Jinyu would arrive today.
After getting off the car, Zhao Chaoxu stood at the gate of the villa, pacing back and forth and looking at his watch. When he saw Gu Wan getting out of the car, he hurried over to greet her, with only a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Miss Gu, you look the best today. Old Fu is so lucky."
Gu Wan smiled and accepted the compliment graciously.
"Thank you. Come on in."
Zhao Chaoxu came in with his men and said, "Everything has been arranged. Just prepare your gifts."
Gu Wan simply sat down and waited. On her phone were messages from Xu Zhongzhong, who kept asking about studying abroad. They were in the same major and had gotten along very well in recent years. He was her only friend.
"I'm so jealous."
"fine."
I chatted with her for a while before turning off my phone.
Wait and wait.
From past the time till 8pm.
Fu Jinyu did not show up either.
Zhao Chaoxu called him but no one answered.
"Gu Wan, is there no one there for you to fight him?"
Gu Wan nodded, "Maybe he was stuck on something. Let's wait a little longer."
Zhao Chaoxu saw that she was obviously anxious, but still spoke for him.
"Eat something first."
"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Gu Wan held the phone, looking a little worried, and frowned.
Zhao Chaoxu was not happy either, but a message came to his phone from a group in their circle.
"Fuck, Miss Xu is back, Fu Jinyu's sweetheart."
The following are various candid photos.
Zhao Chaoxu subconsciously glanced at Gu Wan nervously, then quickly turned off his phone as if he was guilty.
"Gu Wan, why don't you go home first? Maybe Old Master is at home and he just wants to spend time with you."
Gu Wan just glanced at him and it seemed to be true. The person had returned.
"No, I'll wait for him here."
Zhao Chaoxu didn't know how to persuade Gu Wan for a moment. It suddenly started raining heavily outside, and some of his friends here were preparing to go back. He went over to apologize to them and arranged for everyone to leave. Finally, he went to a corner and took out his mobile phone. Hundreds of messages had already been sent in the group.
"Miss Xu seems to have lived a good life over the years. I just witnessed Fu Jinyu and Xu Wan arguing, and then someone I didn't recognize showed up and took Xu Wan away."
"Yes, Fu Jinyu is very sad."
"Fu Jinyu is really infatuated. I heard he even keeps a little girl who looks a lot like Xu Wan."
…
Zhao Chaoxu's brows were already knotted. What was going on?
Gu Wan walked to Zhao Chaoxu's side and said, "Give me the car keys."
Zhao Chaoxu just felt that he might not be able to hide it anymore.
In the past three years, Fu Jinyu let her intervene in their lives. Except for the Fu family's old house, Gu Wan has been to almost everywhere and appeared at all parties. Many people did not regard Gu Wan as a kept lover, but thought they would get married. Some people even joked that this was simply the best example of a lover taking the position.
"It's raining so hard it's unsafe for you to drive."
Gu Wan stretched out her hand and looked at him firmly, not allowing him to be refused.
Zhao Chaoxu still handed her the car keys.
Gu Wan took it and strode away.
Zhao Chaoxu made some simple arrangements at the villa and followed them upstairs. When he arrived at the underground garage, he only saw the shadow of a car.
There were lightning and thunder, and heavy rain.
Gu Wan drove to Fu Jinyu's real residence, right in front of the villa. She wanted to make a quick decision. After all, it couldn't delay her going abroad. She had not been idle in the past three years. She didn't spend any of the money Fu Jinyu gave her. Instead, she made some investments with the money she saved. From small to large, she slowly cashed it out step by step. She was no longer the Gu Wan three years ago. She always understood that money is a person's confidence.
She will go abroad as an exchange student. Gu's mother's health is already very poor, but she has never given up on saving people, even though it is not in her mission. The doctor said that her body can only last a few years and it is impossible for her to travel long distances again.
And on the other hand, the plot is so powerful that Gu's mother may still not be saved.
Gu Wan waited in the car all night but he didn't show up, so she drove away.
Zhao Chaoxu was relieved when he saw that nothing happened. He then left and went directly to Fu's, but he didn't find Fu Jinyu.
Gu Wan went home to take a shower, do some skin care, and catch up on some sleep. She went to school in the afternoon and received a call at around three o'clock.
"I'm back. I'll go straight to the hospital soon. You can wait for me at the hospital."
Gu Wan agreed and gave the information in her hand to her junior.
This was a senior brother who lived abroad and whom she had been in contact with via email. He was an authority on Gu's mother's illness.
Gu Wan met him at a forum abroad two years ago and quickly went to the hospital.
Gu's mother is now in a semi-vegetative state. She can speak but cannot take care of herself in many ways.
After the senior brother arrived, he looked at the previous examination materials prepared by Gu Wan and helped him analyze them. An hour later, he called Gu Wan out of the ward.
"Gu Wan, don't waste your energy. Auntie's illness can't be cured, and it's difficult to maintain her condition. I'm afraid she only has a month left. Be mentally prepared."
Gu Wan knew what was going on, but she just didn't give up.
"Okay, thank you, brother."
The senior brother sighed and patted her shoulder. "Gu Wan, when you really become a doctor, you will understand how insignificant humans are. But I also want to tell you something: everything depends on human effort."
Gu Wan nodded, "Senior Brother, you've worked hard, I understand."
After the two of them finished talking, the senior brother left again.
Gu Wan stood at the door of the ward, looking at the person on the bed, and finally transferred double one month's salary to the nurse.
"Auntie, thank you for your hard work."
The nurse has not changed in the past few years. She feels that it is rare to see a child as filial as Gu Wan. She is still in school and has to take care of her mother.
"This, this is too much, Wanwan, do you have enough money to spend? You don't have to give me anything. Even if you don't have money, Auntie will help take care of it for you."
These are all true words.
Gu Wan smiled and nodded, "I should thank Auntie. You have been helping me all these years. It's okay, I'm fine." After explaining a lot to the nurse, she checked the time and said, "I'm going to buy food."
Just as she returned to the hospital lobby with her meal, she saw Fu Jinyu hugging a woman. The woman seemed to be crying and very sad, but her back was facing her.
Gu Wan and Fu Jinyu looked at each other in the hospital lobby, and time seemed to stop at that moment.
Fu Jinyu just frowned slightly and glanced at Gu Wan, then gently shifted his gaze away, as if he were a stranger.
Gu Wan clenched the rice in her hand tightly and did not let go. Not wasting food was one of her principles. She had watched a lot of TV shows when she was bored before. The heroines were stunned by sudden events and would drop the rice or fruits in their hands. She laughed at herself in her heart. It was already this time, and she could still think of these things.
After calming down, she didn't go forward to ask, but just walked past Fu Jinyu without saying a word. She heard him whispering comfort to the person in his arms. It turned out that this was his most gentle side. The way he treated his true lover was completely different from the way he treated his lover perfunctorily. The original owner was deceived so confusedly. Thinking of this, she sighed with some regret.
Gu Wan brought the meal back to the ward and gave it to her aunt. The two of them chatted and laughed while accompanying Gu's mother. There was not much left for her to do at school. At half past six, she gave her instructions to her aunt and prepared to go back. June is always a rainy season. It was sunny at noon, but now it started to rain.
She walked home step by step along the road with an umbrella. The hem of her skirt was stained with mud and water and was a little dirty.
Fu Jinyu drove past her. Xu Wan was so tired from crying that she fell asleep in the passenger seat. There was a red light ahead, so they stopped.
Gu Wan happened to be standing on the sidewalk.
Fu Jinyu turned to look at her, his eyes unclear for a moment.
Gu Wan recognized his cars, the ones he often drove. This was the one. If she guessed correctly, the heroine was sitting in the car. The green light came on and she walked towards the place where they lived together.
Fu Jinyu looked at her back and she went home.
Gu Wan returned home and changed her shoes at the entrance. She had lived in the same place for more than three years and had too many things.
The photos displayed in the bedroom were taken on her and Fu Jinyu's birthdays. They spent that day at home.
There is also a photo of them traveling together, standing on the top of a mountain to watch the sunrise.
There are so many memories between them, including the amusement park, welfare home, beach, and barbecues they had together.
The most important photo was the one taken during the mudslide. Fu Jinyu went to find her and the two of them hugged each other. It was captured by a passerby and later someone posted it online. It didn't attract much attention, but she accidentally saw it and contacted that person privately to ask for it.
Gu Wan ignored the mud on her skirt, took out a suitcase, and packed all her clothes into it one by one. Another suitcase was filled with books. She took out a bank card from the bag and put it on the table. In it was the monthly living expenses he had paid for himself, as well as the money he had paid for his mother in the early years.
She is not short of money and it is not difficult for her to make money.
I bought a two-bedroom apartment in the same community half a year ago, so moving is not difficult.
Gu Wan only used two large suitcases to move all her things out of the house. The mission was completed. She could finally live the life she wanted and graduated from university successfully.
Fu Jinyu drove Xu Wan to the gate of the residential complex where she now lived. He sat there quietly, not moving. He was thinking about Gu Wan. Why didn't she come to question him in the hospital? It was not like her. It was very unusual. He frowned, feeling a little irritated. This shouldn't be the case.
Xu Wan woke up and saw Fu Jinyu.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Fu Jinyu stopped thinking about Gu Wan, turned around and forced a smile, "You are too tired, have a good rest."
Xu Wan nodded, "Fu Jinyu, how have you been these years?"
It was very quiet in the car.
Fu Jinyu didn’t know what was good or bad. It was bad at the beginning, but after he came into contact with Gu Wan, it became good again.
"good."
Xu Wan looked at the wound at the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm sorry. He was too impulsive yesterday."
Fu Jinyu shook his head. "It's okay. I owe you. Does he like you? Is he pursuing you?"
Xu Wan admitted frankly, "Yes, that year my father passed away and my mother was seriously ill. He helped me, took me away, and took care of my tuition and my mother's medical expenses. I am very grateful to him over the years. If it weren't for him, I really don't know what I would do."
Fu Jinyu didn't know what to feel. "I should thank him. I'm very happy that you've been doing well all these years."
Xu Wan felt a little tired. This time her mother came back to China because the treatment for this disease in China was better than abroad.
"Fu Jinyu, I just treat him as a brother." After she said that, she pushed open the car door and got out.
Fu Jinyu sat in the car without moving. He reached out to touch a cigarette, only to find that no cigarette had been smoked in the car for a long time. He turned on his phone, and it was full of missed calls and text messages. He swiped his finger and saw Gu Wan's name.
"Fu Jinyu, where are you?"
"Fu Jinyu, are you okay? Remember to call me back if you see me."
"Fu Jinyu, did something happen?"
"Fu Jinyu, I'm downstairs from your house."
…
A hundred missed calls from her.
Fu Jinyu leaned in the car. He knew he needed to give Gu Wan an explanation. He drove away, arrived at their residence, went upstairs and opened the door.
"Gu Wan."
He called out subconsciously, but no one answered. He walked into the bedroom again, but there was nothing on the dressing table. He went to the cloakroom, and most of her clothes were there, but all of them were bought by him. Her own clothes were gone. Did she know everything?
He stood in the living room with a frown on his face, picked up his cell phone and called Gu Wan.
Gu Wan was cleaning up her new home. Although she wouldn't be living here for long, it was still a good investment. Her cell phone rang and she reached out to answer it.
"Gu Wan, where are you? Come back and let's talk."
Fu Jinyu's voice was a little cold.
Gu Wan thought she would have to wait several days before being contacted, but unexpectedly it was only a day. It seemed that the interactions over the past few years were very effective.
"Um."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
She changed her shoes and took out the previous contract. They were all in the same community, so she went over quickly and rang the doorbell.
Fu Jinyu opened the door and saw Gu Wan, his face shrouded in gloom.
"There's your fingerprint. Why ring the doorbell?"
Gu Wan walked into the living room with her long hair loose and wearing a green long skirt.
Fu Jinyu closed the door.
The room was very quiet.
Gu Wan was waiting for him to speak.
Fu Jinyu didn't know how to start. Did he need to explain? Actually, he didn't need to. He had already made his choice, Xu Wan.
"Why are you packing up?"
Gu Wan looked at him and said, "Mr. Fu has someone new he likes, so I should leave." Her eyes were calm, as if she was narrating something very ordinary.
Fu Jinyu thought she knew about the substitute, but now it seems that's not the case.
"You didn't even ask me, so why do you make the decision on your own?"
Gu Wan handed him the contract.
"Mr. Fu, this is a three-year contract. Party A can terminate the agreement at any time during the three-year validity period, but the time has passed."
Fu Jinyu chuckled and shook his head. He never expected that after more than ten years in the business world, there would actually be a day when someone would hold up a contract and tell him that the contract was terminated.
"I disagree."
"Gu Wan, are you angry with me?"
Gu Wan pursed her lips.
"Fu Jinyu, you were the one who disappeared on your birthday and didn't reply to calls and text messages. What's the point of you saying this now?" She looked very sad, with tears welling up in her eyes.
Fu Jinyu was stunned by the question for a moment.
"That was an accident."
Gu Wan's tears fell to the ground.
"Fu Jinyu, what do you mean by an accident? Is it an accident that you appeared in front of me holding another woman after disappearing for 24 hours?"
Fu Jinyu never thought that Gu Wan would be so sad.
Gu Wan looked at him, "Fu Jinyu, I admit that I have no right to say anything. It was you who paid for my support, but now the agreement has expired. Let's part ways amicably. Just pretend that we have never met, just like you did this afternoon. Treat me as a stranger."
She left immediately after she finished speaking.
Fu Jinyu did not stop her again, but just stood there quietly.
Zhao Chaoxu had been unable to contact him, so he called again and heard that the phone was finally connected and was not turned off.
"Old Fu, what's going on? You finally answered the phone. Where are you now? Gu Wan waited for you at the manor all night, and then drove to the door of your villa and waited there all night. You should contact them quickly."
Fu Jinyu sat dejectedly on the sofa before he noticed the bank card on the table.
"Where are you?"
“The same place.”
Fu Jinyu hung up the phone before picking up the bank card. The password was written on the back.
When Zhao Chaoxu saw Fu Jinyu coming, he immediately sat next to him.
"What's going on? I just found out Xu Wan is back. I kept it a secret from Gu Wan, but I think the truth will come out sooner or later."
Fu Jinyu chuckled lightly.
"No need, she ran into Xu Wan and me at the hospital."
Zhao Chaoxu looked at him in surprise. "Fuck, no way, then what?"
Fu Jinyu took out the bank card and said, "She told me to separate. This is the bank card she left for me. It contains all the money I gave her over the years, as well as the money for her mother's medical treatment."
Zhao Chaoxu clicked his tongue twice. This really seemed like something Gu Wan would do.
"So what are you going to do?"
Fu Jinyu didn't know, but he knew that Gu Wan would not leave him. He knew very well how much she loved him.
"Let's all calm down for a while."
Zhao Chaoxu poured him a glass of wine. "That's not right. This is Gu Wan's reaction. Doesn't she know that she's a substitute?"
Fu Jinyu looked at him coldly.
Zhao Chaoxu knew he had said the wrong thing. "Okay, let's not talk about those two words, but seriously, who are you going to choose?"
Fu Jinyu didn't say anything.
Gu Wan put Fu Jinyu's matter aside for the time being. She would stay in the hospital whenever she had time and prepare for the worst. However, when she received this call, she still found it quite interesting.
In the coffee shop outside the hospital, Gu Wan identified the man as soon as she entered. She walked over and sat opposite him.
"Lu Jin."
Gu Wan looked at him. He was the second male lead in the original novel. When the heroine was at a loss as to what to do with her sick mother, it was the second male lead who had always liked the heroine who helped her. He took her abroad, helped her go to school, supported the heroine's mother, and gave her a good living standard.
"Gu Wan."
It seems that there is such a second male lead in every article.
"You can take a look at this photo first."
Lu Jin took out a photo of Xu Wan from his phone.
"You two are very similar."
Gu Wan had never seen the heroine before. This was her first time. She took it and glanced at it. "Well, what does Mr. Lu want to say?"
Lu Jin laughed, "I didn't expect Miss Gu to not be surprised at all."
Gu Wan suddenly felt disgusted with him. This infatuated second male lead, yes, the second male lead who was only infatuated with the female lead, so had he also approached the original owner in the same way? But what qualifications and position did he have?
The author has something to say:
