Gu Yanqing remained calm, not even glancing at her, as if it were none of his business, completely unmoved.
"Gu Yanqing! Are you deaf?" Jiang Yi started to go berserk, grabbing things from the bedside table and throwing them at Gu Yanqing.
"Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi... don't do this—" Tang Xiue was terrified when she saw her daughter shake off the IV needle on the back of her hand, and hurriedly tried to comfort her.
Gu Yanqing dodged twice before finally responding.
He remained expressionless and said indifferently, "If you want it so badly, go and take it yourself. I have something to do, so I'm leaving now."
It must be said that Gu Yanqing truly has the courage to accomplish great things—once he makes up his mind, he acts decisively and swiftly, without any hesitation.
Just like a month ago when he decided to abandon me and marry Jiang Yi, he was able to withstand all the pressure and be ruthless and heartless towards me.
Now that he has seen through Jiang Yi's true colors, he has decided to abandon her without looking back, regardless of life or death.
Jiang Yi finally experienced the taste of being abandoned, just like me.
It's like digging their own grave.
I left the ward with Gu Yanqing.
Before the room door could be closed, Tang Xiue cried out, "Doctor, doctor, my daughter is vomiting blood!"
We continued walking without looking back or stopping.
Doctors and nurses rushed down the corridor toward the ward behind them, shouting, "Quickly, get her to the emergency room!" Jiang Yi's condition must be extremely bad.
I didn't turn to look at Gu Yanqing, but calmly asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go back and see him? It might be the last time we see each other."
Gu Yanqing turned to look at me, but did not respond to my words. Instead, he said in a low, repentant voice, "Xiao Wan, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I don't hate you anymore." I turned to him and smiled slightly, calm and collected.
The highest level of not loving is not hate, nor anger, but indifference and a heart as still as water.
I saw his face suddenly contort in pain, and his brow furrowed.
We walked to the elevator together. He turned his head as if he wanted to say something to me, but the elevator arrived and the doors opened.
He walked in, placing one hand on the elevator wall, and looked at me: "Xiao Wan..."
I glanced at him and said calmly and resignedly, "We are already like strangers, so there's no need for us to travel together."
————
On my way home from the hospital, I thought about Jiang Yi's words, and I still felt a little uneasy.
So I called my grandmother.
"Nonsense! Although it's true that your mother was the first to fall for Jiang Haiyang, it was Jiang Haiyang who took the initiative to pursue her. He was quite handsome when he was young, and he dressed very well. Your mother liked this kind of refined and gentle person. Who knew he already had a girlfriend before?"
Grandma became increasingly angry as she spoke, and suddenly realized, "So, maybe Jiang Haiyang and that vixen conspired to deceive your mother's feelings and swindle our family's property. Otherwise, how could that vixen's child be two years younger than you? They must have never broken up!"
After hearing my grandmother's words, I quickly felt relieved.
The truth is pretty much what I guessed.
I also believe that my mother is the biggest victim in this whole affair, and that she was kept in the dark from beginning to end.
Thinking of my mother, I feel heartbroken and regretful for her once again.
Because she chose the wrong man and embarked on the wrong path in marriage, her originally beautiful life became full of thorns, with each step fraught with bloodshed, and she ultimately met a tragic end, dying young.
For my mother, marriage truly became the tomb of love, and also her own tomb.
It's a rare weekend to relax, but I don't dare to be idle.
Because when my mind went blank, I thought of the phone call Su Shenglin made yesterday.
Thinking back on all the moments we spent together in that short period of time.
Fortunately, reason prevailed over emotion.
Although he was incredibly wonderful, like a ray of light attracting me and making me yearn for him.
However, the dubious nature of the goodwill and the vast difference in our family backgrounds made me realize the situation in time and stop in my tracks.
On Sunday morning, I went to the company to work overtime again.
I only realized how troublesome it is to be a boss after I took full control of the company.
I am confident in my professional skills, but I am not good at managing employees. These days have been busy and stressful, and I feel a lot of pressure.
As evening fell and I was getting ready to pack up and head home, Li Yunwei called me.
"Where is it?" Miss Li asked casually.
I said weakly, "I have to work overtime at the company."
"Are you kidding me? You're working overtime on the weekend instead of relaxing and enjoying yourself?"
"I have to rely on myself for everything now. I haven't even established myself yet, so how can I relax and enjoy myself?"
Especially after several friends in the industry invested in the company, I felt even more pressure, worried that if the business wasn't managed well, it would cause my friends to lose money.
"Alright, come out now. I've got a show planned for you, I guarantee you'll enjoy it!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't ask so many questions, I've sent you the address on WeChat, come quickly!"
Li Yunwei acted swiftly, immediately sending the address after hanging up the phone, and urging, "Hurry up and come!"
According to the address, it's an entertainment club offering a one-stop service for eating, drinking, and having fun.
Thinking that going back to my rented room would mean being alone anyway, and that I'd been having a really tough time lately, I figured I might as well go and relax for one night.
As soon as I left the office, Li Yunwei sent me another voice message, specifically telling me not to drive and to take a taxi instead.
I understand, this is going to be a drinking party.
Well, let go of your reason and get drunk, forget all your troubles and unhappiness.
When I arrived at the club, I was secretly surprised as soon as I entered the private room.
This bureau is a bit too big.
Besides my best friend Li Yunwei, I also have seven or eight other friends, including Song Ci, Liang Shan, and Chen Yu. They all helped me when I was in dire need of money recently, and later they invested in my clothing company and are now my shareholders.
