Chapter 38 Gu Xiangsi, you really have a lot of bad peach blossoms!
When Lu Wang entered the ward, he saw Fu Sinian gently put Gu Xiangsi down and covered her with a blanket.
Fu Sinian raised his hands and clasped his arms. Lu Wang glanced at the person who was sleeping soundly and gestured to him. The two of them walked to the balcony.
"Is your hand injured?" Lu Wang's eyes fell on Fu Sinian's arm.
"It's okay." Fu Sinian rubbed his hands and said nothing more.
Fu Sinian looked at him and asked, "Are you Lu Liang's cousin?"
Lu Wang nodded.
"How long have you known her?" Fu Sinian asked again.
"You mean lovesickness?"
"That's quite affectionate."
Fu Sinian's eyes darkened.
"Mr. Fu, I can see it." Lu Wang said frankly, "You are the one Xiangsi has in mind, right?"
"Has she mentioned me to you?" Fu Sinian was curious about how Gu Xiangsi viewed him in front of outsiders.
"She and I met abroad, five years ago."
He paused and continued, "When she first arrived abroad, she looked lifeless and listless."
"One time she had a fever, probably from being tired from doing part-time jobs, and fainted on the side of the road. I saved her and took her to the hospital."
Lu Wang turned his head and looked through the window at the people in the ward with a more determined look in his eyes: "She is very strong, but also very stubborn."
He paused and continued, "I heard your name from her mouth when she had a fever that year. And considering how you resolutely saved her today, I guessed that you must be the person she's keeping in her heart."
"Then I have to thank you." Fu Sinian said in a light tone.
"You're welcome."
Lu Wang responded, and suddenly raised his eyes to look directly at him, "I like lovesickness."
He said frankly, "I returned to China for her."
Fu Sinian looked at him, his eyebrows slightly raised: "So?"
“We compete fairly.”
Lu Wang met his gaze, "I don't think Mr. Fu would be a mean person!"
"You have to have the ability to do that." Fu Sinian's voice became a little colder.
Lu Wang smiled, "Sometimes, being stubborn isn't a good thing."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on his arm again, "Go and see if there's any injury."
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Gu Xiangsi woke up.
I turned my head to look out the window. It was already dark and there was a light drizzle.
She turned her gaze back to the sofa.
Fu Sinian was leaning on the armrest, his eyes slightly closed, and his left hand was bandaged.
Is he injured?
Gu Xiangsi sat up, lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed. Fu Sinian heard the noise and opened his eyes.
"Awake? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
He stood up and walked over.
Seeing her stunned, he coughed awkwardly, "I'm an investor in the hospital. You're injured here, so I want to express my condolences on behalf of the hospital."
Gu Xiangsi said, "Oh."
"Mr. Fu, are you injured?"
"Yeah." Fu Sinian responded, his tone a bit deliberately casual, "I saved you again."
"Tell me, Gu Xiangsi, how can you repay me?"
Gu Xiangsi was stunned. She didn't expect him to be so direct when he spoke. "Thank you, Mr. Fu... I'll pay for the medical expenses."
"Gu Xiangsi, you're quite good at changing the subject."
Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows, "That's not what I want."
He paused, "Remember, you owe me a favor."
Gu Xiangsi looked up at him in disbelief.
"Don't worry." Fu Sinian added, "I won't violate your principles, and I won't ask you to do anything illegal. I'll ask you for it when I think it over."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiangsi's stomach growled at an inopportune time.
"Hungry?"
She nodded a little embarrassedly.
"Assistant Li has gone to buy food and should be here soon."
Li Xiaoyao delivered the food and quietly left.
What was delivered was a custom-made private chef's dish. Every dish was Gu Xiangsi's favorite, with a hint of spiciness that she preferred. She was really hungry, and with her head lowered, she ate the rice in her bowl clean.
Fu Sinian glanced at her and suddenly said, "Why didn't you tell me about your mother's incident?"
Gu Xiangsi was stunned. She thought he knew.
Forget it, it’s been so long.
She lowered her eyes. "There's nothing much to say. After all, it's not a good thing."
Fu Sinian felt very upset.
When the two were together, she only reported good news and never bad news.
He still remembered one time when she had a cold and a fever. She knew he had an exam but she refused to say a word. By the time he found out, she was already in the hospital.
Coming back to his senses from his memories, he looked at the person in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Gu Xiangsi, there's no need for a girl to be so stubborn."
Gu Xiangsi raised her eyes and met his serious gaze: "I think... sometimes it's more reliable to rely on yourself."
Fu Sinian was speechless.
He understood what she meant, but was powerless to refute her. It was like punching cotton, making him feel suffocated and uneasy.
At this time, Gu Xiangsi said softly: "Mr. Fu, can I discuss something with you?"
"you say."
"That contract...can it be canceled? I'll return the five million to you."
She paused and lowered her voice, "I've already made money, so..."
"What?" Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "You want to let go after you've used me?"
"Gu Xiangsi, is this how you treat your savior?"
He paused, then continued, "It's a signed contract. If we really breach it, the consequences won't be as simple as paying five million."
"I... I really can't be your assistant. My major is not suitable." Gu Xiangsi said anxiously.
Fu Sinian looked at her with a half-smile: "Do you not want to leave the Zhao Group, or are you hiding some secret?"
"No!"
Gu Xiangsi immediately retorted, then thought for a moment and said, "I have a cooperative relationship with this hospital."
"So, it's for Lu Wang?" Fu Sinian's eyes grew colder.
"What does this have to do with Dr. Lu?" Gu Xiangsi frowned.
"nothing."
Fu Sinian leaned back and said casually, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, "I asked Special Assistant Li to acquire this hospital."
He looked at Gu Xiangsi, who looked stunned, and continued, "You can be my personal assistant, and you can still do design work and earn more money. I'll give you a 10% commission."
Gu Xiangsi was stunned.
What does he mean by this?
Isn't this equivalent to giving her money openly?
She really wanted to ask, Mr. Fu, you are such a nice person!
But he opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Fu, what do you want me to do?"
"I'm a businessman, so I'm naturally profit-driven."
Fu Sinian replied indifferently.
"Boss Fu, are you doing this out of charity to pity me?"
Gu Xiangsi raised her eyes and stared at him with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Fu Sinian chuckled, with a sense of nonchalant control, "Gu Xiangsi, am I that kind?"
"You owe me a lot. If you keep going like this, you'll have to help pay back any relatives who lend you money at high interest rates, and you'll have to pay for any relatives who are hospitalized. I can't pay you back even if I work for you my whole life."
Gu Xiangsi choked suddenly, as if her heart was pierced by a needle.
This person really knows how to poke her sore spots.
My uncle and aunt are like ticks. Once they know that I have an identity that can make money, they will stick to me like parasites and ask for money endlessly.
But he was my mother's only brother after all, and because of my grandmother's feelings, she couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
You could say she was soft-hearted or just had good intentions, but family ties are inherently complicated.
All she could do was to help them one last time for the sake of her grandma and mother.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, I will definitely pay you back. Thank you for helping me again and again."
"Yeah." Fu Sinian responded, "You've said thank you many times."
His eyes fell on the bouquet of flowers sent by Lu Wang on the table. His eyes twitched almost imperceptibly. When he turned back to look at Gu Xiangsi, that beautiful face made his tone suddenly stiffen.
"Gu Xiangsi, you really have a lot of bad peach blossoms."
"What did you say?"
