When Gu Junhang went downstairs, he ran into Qiao Xu at the entrance of the apartnt building.
Seeing her standing in front of the apartnt building with hesitation, he approached and asked:
"Why didn’t you go upstairs?"
Qiao Xu had been standing downstairs for a long ti, and she had just found out from Zhang Yang that the toxin in Xia Yumo’s calf had entered her body through an essential oil massage.
She had guarded against all external factors, but had inadvertently provided the opportunity for the perpetrator.
If she told anyone about this, they would tell her not to bla herself, that it was not her fault.
But was it really not her fault?
Qiao Xu was at a loss. She only knew that if she had not asked Auntie Wang to massage Mo Mo’s legs, perhaps the person hiding behind the scenes would not have found a chance to poison Mo Mo.
She ca here to tell Xia Yumo the truth, but as she got closer to the place, she dared not go up, fearing to see Mo Mo’s disappointed and resentful gaze.
Gu Junhang looked at Qiao Xu’s usually decisive face, at this mont filled with hesitation and indecision, and thought about what they were investigating these days. His gaze slightly chilled.
"Was it Auntie Wang?"
Qiao Xu did not hide the truth from Gu Junhang, and nodded, "Auntie Wang’s son was bribed by soone."
Gu Junhang’s expression beca even darker than before.
Intellectually, he knew that he shouldn’t bla Qiao Xu, as all her intentions were for Mo Mo’s well-being.
Even, in taking care of Mo Mo, she was more attentive and thoughtful than Gu Junhang, her fiance.
But emotionally, he wished he could vent all his anger on Qiao Xu.
However, such behavior was too unreasonable, so Gu Junhang didn’t say anything in the end and just said:
"Mo Mo is upstairs; you should go up. She likes you way more than she does ."
He bitterly smiled, his tone sowhat aggrieved.
Mo Mo had forgotten both of them, yet she could still affectionately call her "Xuxu" while always addressing him as "Senior."
She allowed Qiao Xu to be with her every mont, but always tried to drive him away.
Gu Junhang felt increasingly that he was being petty, but he didn’t think it was excessive, and even felt more wronged.
Qiao Xu sensed his aggrievent in his tone and didn’t have the heart to comfort him. Nodding, she mustered the courage and went upstairs.
Gu Junhang got in the car, and the coldness in his eyes resurfaced as he drove ho.
Xia Yumo’s apartnt password hadn’t been changed, so Qiao Xu entered directly using the password.
She saw Xia Yumo sitting in her wheelchair, staring blankly at the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the bustling city street. In this fast-paced city, people ca and went, everyone wanted to beco a prominent figure in this city, and began to climb vigorously, striving not to be trampled underfoot by others.
Xia Yumo had once thought that after completing her studies and returning ho, she would settle down in this city and beco soone who could live as she pleased.
She didn’t rember how hard she had worked, but now, it seed she was back to the starting point, or even...worse than the starting point.
Hearing the sound at the door, Xia Yumo thought Gu Junhang had returned. Frowning slightly, she turned and said, "Why did you...?"
Seeing Qiao Xu, she stopped, smiled helplessly.
As Qiao Xu entered, she saw Xia Yumo sitting desolately in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Seeing her smile at Qiao Xu, Qiao Xu felt even worse.
"Gu Junhang was just jealous of you, and now you’re here,"
Xia Yumo said jokingly as she looked at Qiao Xu.
