Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Mr. Gu, I Will Absolutely Never Like You
Zhong Xiaoyi walked to the front passenger seat to get into the car.
Gu Hanchen frowned and said, “Co sit in the back.”
But Zhong Xiaoyi still sat in the front passenger seat. “I’m just a nanny’s daughter; I don’t deserve to sit in the back!”
Gu Hanchen said, “Did you hear what I just texted my mother? I didn’t an to look down on you, I… I just…”
Gu Hanchen didn’t know what else to say.
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “You don’t need to explain, I understand my own status.”
Gu Hanchen frowned; she knew what her status was, “Co over, sit in the back.”
After Zhong Xiaoyi fastened her seatbelt, she closed her eyes. Although she had successfully accomplished sothing in one try, it was extrely exhausting, and the prop gun felt so real that her hand hurt.
Additionally, because of the rain, Zhong Xiaoyi was very tired.
After Gu Hanchen got into the car, he frequently looked at Zhong Xiaoyi in the front passenger seat. “Are you angry?”
Gu Hanchen didn’t hear her reply. He furrowed his brow — it seed Zhong Xiaoyi was genuinely upset, but he didn’t know how to appease her.
After all, apart from cajoling his little niece, Gu Hanchen really didn’t know how to pacify soone he had upset.
Previously, during his relationships, his girlfriends rarely dared to act up in front of him. Whenever one did, Gu Hanchen would choose to break up.
He wasn’t surrounded by many won, so Gu Hanchen truly didn’t know how to mollify Zhong Xiaoyi.
Gu Hanchen opened the WeChat chat with Liang Suisui, “If soone made you angry, how would you want them to apologize?”
Liang Suisui replied, “Gift a mansion in A City or an estate in Jiang City, or a Gulfstream plane… Which girl are you upsetting now?”
Gu Hanchen: “My secretary, Zhong Xiaoyi. I accidentally said she’s my nanny’s daughter and I swear I never ant to look down on her, but I blurted it out and now she’s really angry.”
Liang Suisui: “…But she is your nanny’s daughter, you didn’t say anything wrong. What’s there for her to be angry about? Why are you apologizing?”
Gu Hanchen, reading Liang Suisui’s ssages, sank into thought. Yeah, why should he apologize?
He hadn’t said anything incorrect, she was indeed his nanny’s daughter.
They arrived at the underground garage of Jiangjing No.1.
Gu Hanchen got out of the car and sat in his wheelchair, noticing that Zhong Xiaoyi in the front passenger seat was still closing her eyes. He wheeled over to her side and nudged her, “We’re ho now, wake up.”
Zhong Xiaoyi groggily opened her eyes, feeling a severe soreness in her nose and a severe headache.
Zhong Xiaoyi got out of the car and staggered.
Gu Hanchen grabbed her arm, but Zhong Xiaoyi still couldn’t stand steadily and fell into Gu Hanchen’s arms.
Gu Hanchen, caught off guard with a person in his arms, gasped sharply, “Zhong Xiaoyi, even if I said you are my nanny’s daughter, I wasn’t wrong. Do you have to retaliate by sitting on ? My injury hasn’t fully healed yet!”
Looking at the pained expression on Gu Hanchen’s face right in front of her, Zhong Xiaoyi deeply looked at Gu Hanchen, rose using the wheelchair, and said, “I might be coming down with a fever from getting drenched in the rain and sitting in the car with the air conditioning.”
Suddenly, Gu Hanchen rembered that they had indeed kept the air conditioning on throughout the journey.
Gu Hanchen glared fiercely at the driver, “Get in the car, I’ll take you to the hospital!”
Zhong Xiaoyi shook her head, “I just need to take a shower and so fever dicine.”
Gu Hanchen didn’t insist on taking Zhong Xiaoyi to the hospital.
Zhong Xiaoyi returned to her room and went to take a shower.
Gu Hanchen stood outside Zhong Xiaoyi’s room door, feeling terribly agitated. He then made a call to Chu Lin, “Co to my place, drink with , I’ve been quite bothered lately.”
Chu Lin replied, “You’re still injured and could need antibiotics at any ti, how can you drink alcohol?”
“Lately, I don’t know why, I feel so irritated. This blasted weather gets hotter and stuffier each day, I have no idea when this unbearable heat will pass.”
The rainy season was the most agonizing ti in Jiang City.
Even though Gu Hanchen’s house had a dehumidifier and a constant temperature system, the humid and hot air was still unavoidable as suffocating as being in a sauna.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Hanchen looked for cigarettes. He wasn’t heavily addicted to smoking, and after Yuan Xi got pregnant, he rarely smoked.
But now, he found himself wanting a cigarette.
After a call to Special Assistant Wang, it wasn’t long before Special Assistant Wang ca up with cigarettes and a lighter.
Gu Hanchen lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. He wasn’t sure if it was because he hadn’t smoked in a long ti or if Special Assistant Wang had bought fake cigarettes, but it made him choke.
Gu Hanchen stubbed out the cigarette and knocked on Zhong Xiaoyi’s door, “Xiao Yi, open the door.”
Gu Hanchen waited for a long ti without Zhong Xiaoyi inside opening the door. He tried pressing down the door handle, realizing she hadn’t locked it against him, and it opened.
Inside, Zhong Xiaoyi lay on the bed with her hair still wet from her shower. Gu Hanchen wheeled himself over to her, “Do you like the manor? I heard from Huo Shiyuan that there will be a few manors available in Ruohu area. I’ll buy one for you when the ti cos.”
Zhong Xiaoyi felt like she was in a dream, her head aching severely, and looked at Gu Hanchen, “Mr. Gu, why would you give a manor?”
“A manor is a gift for you, so don’t be mad. When I said you were the daughter of my nanny, it was thoughtless of .”
Zhong Xiaoyi whispered softly, “I’m not mad. I really am the daughter of your nanny. I’ve always known since I was young—I don’t deserve to like you…”
Gu Hanchen listened to Zhong Xiaoyi’s hoarse voice, frowning slightly.
Zhong Xiaoyi coughed again and said, “You don’t need to give a manor. If you did, I couldn’t even afford the maintenance fees.”
Gu Hanchen said, “You don’t have to pay maintenance fees for a manor.”
Zhong Xiaoyi continued, “A manor with hundreds of rooms—I can’t afford to hire cleaners for them, and I certainly don’t have the money to decorate. I’m not mad at you. You’re right, I’m just a nanny’s daughter, not fit for you, and not worthy of liking you…”
So even though she had liked Gu Hanchen for so many years, she could never voice her feelings.
Fortunately, she kept her feelings well hidden.
“Mr. Gu, rest assured, I absolutely will never like you. Even if all the n in the world died, I wouldn’t choose you. You can be assured of that.”
Gu Hanchen heard Zhong Xiaoyi’s words and scoffed, “Ungrateful little thing. Who was it that helped you with your high school math howork when I first started my business? Do you think your high school math howork was that simple? I never studied calculus this hard before when I kept failing it. I even revisited high school content to teach you, and now you despise like this?”
“Ungrateful wretch, I really do good for nothing! And about all the n in the world dying—you wouldn’t choose ? If all the n in the world really died, who wouldn’t I be able to find? Do you think I’d still covet you choosing ?”
Zhong Xiaoyi: “…”
