Chapter 88 Do I look so inappropriate?
Gu Xiangsi breathed a sigh of relief and visibly relaxed.
Fu Sinian sneered, leaned back in the back seat, and pursed his lips at her: "Help me get my phone."
He shook his right hand, which was still stained with safflower oil that had not been wiped off.
Gu Xiangsi reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone with some effort.
I glanced at the note on the screen and it looked like a woman's name.
This immediately reminded her of the last time in the villa area, when his mother said she would introduce him to a blind date. This was probably the person.
She handed the phone over, but Fu Sinian didn't take it. "Press speakerphone."
"Hello, Si Nian, it's me. It's so late... am I disturbing you?"
Fu Sinian's voice was emotionless: "What's the matter?"
Rika paused for a moment before saying, "There was a glitch at a factory here. The parts they supplied were all the wrong models. It was my mistake."
"You might have to come over here for this."
"Who is the director in charge of this factory?"
Lijiang Ka paused and said, "He's my cousin. Sorry, Si Nian. I had agreed with Aunt Zhou on the eighth day of the new year that I would come back to meet you..."
Gu Xiangsi heard the sound of her heart breaking.
Exactly the same as that rainy night five years ago.
It turns out that the wounds that I thought had scabbed over the years would still become bloody if I just touched them lightly, as long as they were related to him.
She pulled out a thread from the cuff of her sweater.
Her back teeth were clenched too tightly. She should have smiled, like she did when they broke up, saying "I'm tired of playing around."
That is her pride.
But at this moment, it felt like there was a rusty knife across my throat, and if I opened my mouth, it would cut and bleed.
Fu Sinian raised his eyes and looked at the figure in the shadows with his back to him. He spoke carefully, "We'll talk about your business later."
He changed the subject, "How much has the factory lost so far?"
"If we can't find out who's behind this, we could lose tens of millions."
"Got it. I'll book a flight tomorrow."
After saying that, Fu Sinian hung up the phone.
Gu Xiangsi hurriedly put on her slippers and said in a low voice, "Mr. Fu, you are going abroad tomorrow, go back and rest!"
Fu Sinian took a wet tissue from the back seat, wiped his hands, and packed up his things. When he looked up, he saw Gu Xiangsi had already put on her slippers and got out of the car, limping towards home.
He closed the car door, locked the car, and chased after him in a few steps.
Before Gu Xiangsi could react, he bent down and picked her up. She screamed and subconsciously hugged the man's neck.
"I can walk on my own."
"Why are you trying so hard?"
Fu Sinian took a step forward and said, "You're not honest even though you sprained your ankle. How are you going to work for me in the future?"
"I don't want to wait until I return home and see Assistant Gu recovering from a long-term injury."
As he spoke, he weighed the person in his arms.
"Rika and I are just work colleagues," he suddenly explained. "So, Manager Gu, I'm not the person you think I am."
"Which one?"
Fu Sinian paused, as if looking for the right words.
"Do I look inappropriate?" he asked.
Gu Xiangsi: “…”?
——
When Gu Xiangsi woke up, Fu Sinian had already left, and only Old Lady Zhou and Jiang Xinghe were left in the yard.
Because she sprained her ankle, the few of them just walked around nearby. In the afternoon, Jiang Xinghe sent Old Lady Zhou away, and the yard suddenly seemed empty.
Gu Xiangsi was curled up on the second-floor balcony, lying there, feeling depressed.
Lin Xiu came up and sat down next to her.
"Sisi, tell grandma, are you with that Mr. Fu..."
"No, grandma." Gu Xiangsi sat up straight from the sofa, picked up the pillow and held it in her arms, holding Lin Xiu's hand.
She looked at Lin Xiu's pale face and frowned slightly.
"Grandma, after the New Year, Dr. Lu said he'll arrange for a new doctor to check up on you. Once you're completely well, we can go to Country F, which is where Mom longs to be, okay?"
"How much does it cost to go abroad, kid? Isn't it better to stay in the countryside?"
"Look at me now. After the New Year, I will go to work at Mr. Fu's company. The salary is high and I can save money."
Gu Xiangsi looked at Lin Xiu and saw her smile of relief, but the worry in her heart grew heavier.
The year passed in a flash, and everything returned to normal after that day.
In the sanatorium, sitting opposite Gu Xiangsi was the new doctor, Dr. Li.
Doctor Li pushed his glasses, opened the medical record, and spoke calmly, "Ms. Gu, regarding your grandmother's condition, we have previously discussed the preliminary plan with President Fu.
The old man is quite old, and his leukemia type is..."
He paused, choosing a more understandable statement. "Simply put, it's not the most malignant, but the combination with depression does increase the difficulty of treatment."
Gu Xiangsi clenched the corner of her clothes and listened with bated breath.
“First, we need to adjust the antidepressant medication to ensure there is no conflict with the subsequent chemotherapy drugs. This step requires consultation with psychiatric colleagues.
The chemotherapy regimen will be reduced in intensity, depending on the body's tolerance. After all, the risk of bone marrow suppression is too high for the elderly."
Dr. Li looked up at her. "Family cooperation is crucial, especially emotional counseling. Her mental state directly impacts her treatment compliance, so you need to pay close attention to this."
Gu Xiangsi realized something belatedly, "Mr. Fu?"
"Yes, Mr. Fu contacted me after the New Year and offered me a high salary to return to China. I figured, after all, I have to return to my roots."
Gu Xiangsi's heart sank suddenly, as if hit hard by something.
She always thought that this doctor was introduced by Lu Wang.
I didn't expect that he had remembered it at that time.
"So you and Dr. Lu are..."
"Lu Wang." Doctor Li smiled. "I'm considered his senior. Coincidentally, he also called me the next day."
He smiled knowingly.
When Gu Xiangsi walked out of the clinic, she happened to meet Lu Wang.
"Don't worry, Xiangsi," Lu Wang said. "My senior is quite an authority in this area. If you don't have enough money, I'll cover it for you."
Gu Xiangsi shook her head: "Look at what you said, Doctor Lu. If I really need it, I will definitely talk to you."
"You must speak to me."
"Yeah." Gu Xiangsi nodded.
"Let's have lunch together at noon?" Lu Wang suggested.
Thinking that he had been helping him all the time, Gu Xiangsi nodded in agreement.
When I walked outside the VIP ward, I heard a noise coming from inside.
"Mom, you already have one foot in the coffin, don't you think about your son, think about your grandson?"
Song Ping's voice penetrated the crack of the door, and Gu Xiangsi's hand, which was turning the door handle, suddenly stopped. His knuckles were clenched white and his finger bones were faintly blue.
What are they doing here again?
Then came Chen Fang's voice, sharp and a little anxious: "Yes, Mom, don't you have leukemia? The money Xiangsi gave you for your treatment may not be enough for you. It's better to give it to He Fan, for the future..."
"What did you say?"
When Lin Xiu heard their words, he felt like he was struck by lightning, and his blood boiled in an instant.
She just felt a blackness in front of her eyes.
"Oh, Mom! Xiangsi didn't even tell you this? How could she be so unfilial? Hey, you're sick and you don't even know it!"
Chen Fang laughed.
"Bang."
Gu Xiangsi suddenly pushed open the door of the ward. The door panel hit the wall with a loud noise. She stood at the door.
He just stared at the people in the room.
