Chapter 72: Contradictory Talk
Qi Yue was stunned, thinking that Dad Gu must have heard what Mother Gu said just now: that she wanted to adopt him as her son and that he and Shuangshuang brothers would support each other in the future.
He was deeply touched, but had to refuse awkwardly: "I'm afraid that's not possible. But even if you change your mind, I have already regarded you as my own parents."
The main reason was that he was no longer human, and being a parent to evil people wouldn't be a good thing. He was afraid that the luck of these two people would not be able to be suppressed, and that he would be the one to suppress them.
Mother Gu understood immediately and slapped Father Gu on the arm, causing him to shudder and loosen his grip on Qi Yue's hand. "Old Gu, you're too impatient. At least we have to find an auspicious day to hold the banquet and have a ceremony."
Qi Yue, fearing the elders would be upset, delayed the matter for now and nodded, saying, "Yes, it would be best if we could have our horoscopes compared." Then, he could have the fortune teller say their horoscopes were incompatible and that it wasn't appropriate for them to become godparents. The plan worked.
Gu's father and mother were also very satisfied. As expected, Qi Yue, who had grown up under their care, was a good boy. Although Nan Nan could not get a marriage certificate now, he did not want to let Shuangshuang suffer and wanted to give Shuangshuang a complete wedding.
Gu Yunshuang watched them talking at cross purposes and thought of the netizens' jokes. Finally, he realized what Gu's father and mother had misunderstood.
My mind felt like fireworks were exploding, and I wanted to cover my face and scream: Aa ...
The doctor came to examine Gu's father. In order not to disturb the doctor, Qi Yue and the others left the ward.
Qi Yue saw Gu Yunshuang's face and immediately asked worriedly, "Shuangshuang, why is your face so red? Did you catch a cold on the way here? Do you have a fever?"
As he said that, he reached out and touched his forehead.
Gu Yunshuang originally firmly believed in his heart that there was nothing between him and Qi Yue, and that it was just pure brotherhood. But when Qi Yue looked at him with concern and worry, and that somewhat cold hand fell on his forehead, he only felt his face burning even more.
Qi Yue became even more worried. This situation didn't look okay at all, so he wanted to drag him to see a doctor.
Gu Yunshuang hurriedly held him back, insisting that he was really fine and there was no need to bother the doctor.
Qi Yue was still very worried.
Mother Gu took a look and jokingly said, "Don't worry, Xiaoyue. This isn't a cold or a fever. It's clearly shyness."
“…”
Gu Yunshuang's face turned even hotter, and he glared at Gu Ma in a reproachful manner. Who was to blame for this? If Gu Dad and Gu Ma hadn't misunderstood him and Qi Yue, and hadn't discussed the wedding ceremony with Qi Yue without any context, how could he have blushed? This was definitely embarrassing.
Qi Yue was completely bewildered. Why was he suddenly shy? Could it be...
Qi Yue suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility. Could it be that Shuangshuang has someone she likes?
Who? Who is that person?
Qi Yue immediately became alert and glanced at the people around him covertly.
The young men around him felt an inexplicable chill on their backs.
Zhou Sheng? Impossible. If Shuangshuang liked him, she wouldn't be blushing now.
Gu Dad's roommate in the next ward? Not as tall, not as handsome, and sickly. He looks like he'll die young from kidney deficiency. Even more impossible.
And then there is…
Ning Yi, the resident doctor on duty today, met Qi Yue's cold and scrutinizing gaze as soon as he came out of the ward. His heart trembled and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, how did they offend this big guy?
He was the last disciple of Doctor Wu, and was also a Chinese medicine and Taoist doctor. He was very knowledgeable about the affairs of the Xuanmen sect and recognized Qi Yue, the heir of the Qi family, at a glance.
He forced a smile, stepped forward and spoke softly about Gu's father's situation, trying to make a good impression in front of the boss.
There is news from Xuanmen now that after the Special Management Bureau takes over Xuanmen, it will open up many metaphysical inheritances, including the most mysterious, powerful, and long-coveted Qi family secrets.
After the Metaphysics Conference, the Special Management Bureau will also organize and set up a metaphysics school, which will not only recruit Heavenly Masters, but also any other metaphysics practitioners from various sects and departments who want to further their studies can sign up.
It is said that a member of the Qi family will be invited to serve as a teaching consultant.
Needless to say, who is left in the Qi family now? Of course, it's Qi Yue. The previous Xue Tinghe was not even worthy of carrying Qi Yue's shoes.
Although Qi Yue is young, his strength and achievements are there. Who in the world of metaphysics dares to disobey him?
The resident doctor has already decided to sign up for further studies. It would be best if Qi Yue could take his eye on him and accept him as his disciple. If not, it doesn't matter, as long as he can learn some other secret techniques and talismans, such as the talisman that allowed Dad Gu to wake up so quickly.
Ning Yi, in order to leave a good impression on Qi Yue, tried to show off himself like a peacock spreading its feathers. But for some reason, the surrounding temperature seemed to be getting even colder. Was the air conditioner broken?
Little did he know that in Qi Yue's eyes, he looked more like a little devil who had captured the hearts of his wife Shuangshuang.
However, when Qi Yue turned around to look at Gu Yunshuang, he saw that Gu Yunshuang was listening carefully to the doctor's instructions. He was just grateful and did not show any emotion at all.
Qi Yue couldn't help but wonder if he had guessed wrong?
＊＊＊
Although Mr. Gu has woken up, his body is seriously damaged. He needs to be well taken care of and stay in the hospital for a while for rehabilitation treatment.
In the end, everyone relaxed.
Especially Gu Ma, she looked visibly more relaxed and lively.
It's getting late now, so they should go back first. There is a nurse watching over Gu's father here, so they don't need to keep watch.
Mother Gu took them to the hospital parking lot and happily showed off to them the luxury car that Qi Yue gave her.
I was also excited to take them for a ride and have some midnight snacks before going back.
Qi Yue and the others agreed, as long as Aunt Gu was happy.
Mother Gu used to work with Father Gu in a trucking business. She was also an experienced driver and drove the car steadily. When she was about to speed up after leaving the parking lot, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of her.
Gu Ma braked suddenly, and the seat belts tightened on everyone.
Gu Ma's eyelids twitched. Was she really that unlucky? She finally had the chance to show off her car to her son and son-in-law, only to be scammed?
She got out of the car angrily, wanting to settle the score with that man. She could see clearly that she braked in time and did not touch that man at all. That man had no chance of extorting a penny from her!
However, when she saw the person lying on the ground, Gu Ma was stunned: "Boss Zhong, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Yue also got out of the car to check and saw that the person lying on the ground was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie. He had an elegant temperament and his clothes looked expensive. He didn't look like someone who would suddenly rush out to extort money.
Zhou Sheng and Gu Yunshuang stepped forward to help the man up. Boss Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention and scared you."
Mother Gu was speechless: "Boss Zhong, you jaywalked so suddenly that you weren't paying attention to the road. You were deliberately seeking death. Luckily, I braked quickly. If I had been slower, I'm afraid you and your son would have to be in the hospital right now."
Boss Zhong: “…”
Gu Ma advised earnestly, "Boss Zhong, I know you're worried about your son, but there's always a way out. The doctors haven't given up yet, so there must be a way to save him. How can you just let yourself down? If something happens to you, what will happen to your son?"
Boss Zhong hesitated to speak: "..."
"You didn't rush out by yourself just now, but were pushed by something invisible, right?" Qi Yue suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned. Boss Zhong asked excitedly, "How do you know? Can you see it?"
Zhou Sheng immediately took out the Yin Qi detector and said solemnly, "It is indeed detected that there is residual Yin Qi."
Mother Gu was dumbfounded. Just at this moment, a cold wind blew, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the street swayed, and there were heavy shadows.
Gu Ma and Gu Yunshuang stood close to Qi Yue, one on each side.
Qi Yue was incredulous, but Gu Yunshuang let it go, "Auntie, haven't you always been very brave and not afraid of ghosts at all?" She obviously wasn't afraid at all when watching horror movies before.
Gu Ma smiled awkwardly: "Didn't everyone believe in science and not ghosts before? Naturally, they are not afraid anymore."
Because there is no God, there is nothing to fear.
It’s different now. The Heavenly Master is right next to her. Her husband was once cursed by an evil god, and she saw with her own eyes that Qi Yue saved him with a piece of talisman paper. This clearly tells her that there are ghosts and gods in the world.
Qi Yue thought of his previous plan to build up his courage, and for a moment he felt extremely complicated.
Zhou Sheng said: "The Yin Qi value should be decreasing, and that thing should have left."
Immediately, three people breathed a sigh of relief.
Boss Zhong immediately invited them to a famous private chef for a midnight snack.
On the way, Boss Zhong even introduced them with a smile. He said the owner of the restaurant was an old friend of his. He had learned his cooking from a master chef who had served in the palace and his cooking skills were very impressive. Although this private chef was not well-known to the public, he was very famous among the bosses because he was also good at making medicinal dishes.
These bosses and CEOs who often drink and socialize like 007 don't need such medicinal food to nourish their bodies. The restaurant has a membership system. If you are not a member, you can't eat there even if you have money.
However, Mr. Zhong is a senior member and has a good relationship with the restaurant owner. He promised that if they eat well, he can help Mrs. Gu get a membership, which will be just right for Mr. Gu to recuperate.
Mother Gu was a little hesitant, as she was afraid that such a private restaurant would be expensive.
Qi Yue agreed immediately.
Boss Zhong was very happy.
After they entered the private room and the waiter left, Qi Yue and Gu Yunshuang both removed the coverings on their faces.
Boss Zhong was stunned as he looked at Qi Yue.
Mother Gu said with a smile: "You didn't expect it, did you? Gu Yunshuang is my son, and Qi Yue is half my son."
Boss Zhong was stunned for a moment before he finally remembered that Gu Yunshuang and Qi Yue were the recently very popular star on the Internet and his childhood sweetheart.
He had no time to go online because of his son's affairs, but he had heard people mention the two of them.
He quickly said politely, "I didn't expect it would be the two of you. You're both very handsome! Big sister and Brother Gu are both very lucky."
As he said this, he looked at Qi Yue deeply again.
While waiting for the food to be served, Boss Zhong talked about his family.
The short-lived young man with kidney deficiency who lived next to Gu Dad's ward and whom Qi Yue despised was Boss Zhong's son, Zhong Kaiwen.
Zhong Kaiwen loved racing and adventure, often gathering a group of friends to head to remote mountain roads to get stuck in traffic, no matter how dangerous it was, just for the thrill. His ancestors had protected him from death for so many years.
But if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Just three months ago, something happened.
