Gu Qixiao wasn’t affected by this incident at all.
After work, he went straight to Chongxin.
Seeing Ji Yu’s slightly rounded belly, his heart finally found so peace.
"Why did you co so early today?" Ji Yu looked at him, puzzled by the dazed look at the door.
"I finished everything today and ca to check on you. Besides, I’m worried they might pull sothing else."
Who knows what the Lin family might do?
Ji Yu gave a helpless smile, "Why are all of you so worried about my safety?"
But actually, it’s been pretty quiet these past few days. Perhaps they’re planning so big move.
Even though the online drama had been blowing up, it hadn’t disturbed her life.
"Be careful; your belly is starting to show a bit. I’m worried it’ll inconvenience you later." He knew pregnancy was tough, and his eyes were full of heartbreak.
Ji Yu felt a stir of emotion in her heart, "Actually, this baby is very well-behaved and hasn’t caused much trouble."
Her pregnancy symptoms were barely noticeable.
Hearing this, Gu Qixiao felt slightly reassured.
"Seems the child understands their parents’ intentions and knows not to give you trouble unnecessarily."
He didn’t forget to tell Ji Yu about seeing Lin Chujian today.
"Judging from Lin Chujian’s attitude, the Lin family likely hasn’t given up on rescuing Old Master Lin."
But logically, wouldn’t they hope for sothing to happen to Old Master Lin instead?
After all, while Old Master Lin is still around, the assets under their hands aren’t really theirs, and there’s always the risk of unexpected changes.
"Perhaps Old Master Lin doesn’t hold anything that incriminates them. After all, for soone at his age to still be in control, he surely has a few cards up his sleeve."
Old Master Lin was a capable and calculating person, though he had lived an unfortunate life.
"Anyone who can reach that position must have contingency plans."
Ji Yu didn’t offer any further comnt, only finding the situation unfortunate.
"Maybe things will progress to this point and they’ll be forced to look for other kidney sources."
As they were chatting, Gu Qixiao’s phone rang.
Hearing the sobbing from the other end of the line, his expression turned sour.
"I told them to take good care of you. You just need to stay at school. Why are you calling to complain again?"
He felt perplexed. Everything at school had been arranged for Song Xuan, and the teachers wouldn’t dare mistreat her.
Yet, every ti Song Xuan called, it was to say that classmates and teachers were excluding her and doing outrageous things to her.
"Xiao, please take back. I really don’t want to stay here anymore. They’re all devils! They act so nice in front of you, but behind your back, they keep bullying ."
She sobbed as she spoke.
"Are you aware that I also have a copy of the surveillance tapes from your school?" Which ant he knew everything that happened while she was there.
He was very clear about the kind of life she was living at school.
"Do you understand how much damage your statents could do to your teachers? If I didn’t have the surveillance, I might misunderstand, too."
Such accusations could ruin a teacher’s career.
Song Xuan was speechless.
"But Xiao, I just want to co back. I promise I won’t cause any more trouble. Please let co back—I’ve truly learned my lesson."
She didn’t want to stay here any longer, cut off from Gu Qixiao.
She realized that staying at school ant hopelessness for her and no chance to develop her relationship with Gu Qixiao—only watching him and Ji Yu together from afar.
"Xiao, I know you still have so grievances against . I’ll change, I swear. Could you talk to Doctor Ji about this? I just want to co back, that’s all. I promise I wouldn’t do anything excessive toward her."
She understood that Ji Yu might be able to influence Gu Qixiao.
But how could Ji Yu possibly help her? After learning about her nature, Ji Yu only wanted to keep her distance from such a lunatic.
"Xiao, I’m sick. My mind is all over the place right now. Why don’t you co and see ? I really don’t know what else to do..."
In the end, she was still the sister of his benefactor.
Even if Gu Qixiao wanted her to live a normal life, he couldn’t simply ignore this kind of situation.
"I’ll co over to see you in a while. You’d better sort out everything you want to say."
Looking at Ji Yu next to him, he felt an apologetic pang, "Sorry, Yu. I might need to check on what’s going on with Song Xuan today."
Ji Yu had heard their entire conversation loud and clear.
"If you have sothing to deal with, go ahead. I can get ho on my own, and I have many people around to keep safe. Nothing will happen."
Situations like these couldn’t be forced.
Gu Qixiao was worried but had no choice but to prioritize checking on Song Xuan’s situation first.
When Song Xuan saw Gu Qixiao, she imdiately started crying. "Xiao, I really don’t want to stay here anymore. Wouldn’t living together be better? I know you have so grievances against , but I’ll change, really."
She knew her tears were always effective with him.
"I was so impulsive before only because I didn’t want you to like anyone else. Now I’ve accepted it—I know it’s never going to happen between us."
Gu Qixiao found her hard to believe.
"Are you really thinking that way?" It all felt a little strange.
After all, people say it’s hard to change one’s nature, and yet she was suddenly acting as though she’d beco completely compliant. How could this not seem suspicious?
"Xiao, after living here for a while, I’ve missed you terribly, so I’ve decided to change for you."
Her eyes were filled with deep affection.
"I know I can’t have you, so let just wish you and Ji Yu a lifeti of happiness."
She seed so earnest and fervent.
For a mont, Gu Qixiao couldn’t tell whether she was acting or genuinely ant what she was saying.
"Xiao, please just trust one more ti. I know staying here has been a hassle for you."
This ti, Gu Qixiao finally agreed, but he made it clear that there would be strict conditions moving forward.
"When you co back, your movents will be much freer. But I’ll prepare a small apartnt for you, and you’ll have to live there."
The matter between them needed to be sorted out properly.
"I believe you understand very well where things stand between and Ji Yu."
There was no need to deliberate further.
Her expression froze for a mont.
But thinking about the chance to no longer stay at school, she could only grit her teeth and ask, "Could I visit you sotis when I want to co back?"
She had to lower herself in pleading.
"Fine."
