They have plenty of ti to contemplate, though I’m unsure if their base can hold out until then.
Ji Yu was deeply curious about when Gu Qixiao would begin taking action.
However, she hadn’t recently had ti to visit Gu Qixiao’s company, so there hadn’t been a chance to inquire about the matter yet.
"Sister Yu, there’s a woman outside looking for you." Tian hadn’t wanted to bring that woman in, but her stubborn insistence, as if she wouldn’t leave until she got her way, forced him to let the woman in before discussing anything further.
Ji Yu wasn’t surprised at all to see Ling Xia.
"What do you want from ?"
Ling Xia stared at her with growing disdain.
"I thought you’d be soone important, but you’re just a lowly costic surgeon. Do you genuinely believe you’re worthy of being with Xiao?" Her tone carried that sa haughty attitude, brimming with contempt.
Ji Yu truly didn’t understand where Ling Xia got this kind of determination — coming all the way to her clinic just to mock her.
"So, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Had there really been sothing between the two of them, Ling Xia wouldn’t be acting so arrogant and self-important. She’d be flaunting it instead.
"I don’t care about whatever might have gone on between you two. Besides, I’m well aware of my standing. I’m not even sure if I’ll ever marry into the Gu family."
Ji Yu, a playful glint in her eye, spoke softly and delicately, as if she genuinely doubted whether she could ever marry Gu Qixiao.
Ling Xia, in response, displayed sheer arrogance.
"At least you have so self-awareness. Since you know your limits, I advise you to stay away from him from now on and stop interfering with our relationship."
So, this condescending performance of hers was all for delivering this line?
To be honest, Ji Yu felt a bit disappointed by such a display.
"Oh, so you two aren’t even together yet? And here you are, acting so bold. Did he tell you that the relationship between us is just casual, and that’s why you dare to confront ?"
Ji Yu appeared so aggrieved, even clasping her stomach as if she were the one being bullied.
"Stop acting like I’m bullying you. I’m only here to talk logic. We’re from well-matched families, and we’ll be working together in the future. Do you really think you stand a chance? And as for the child you’re carrying, it’ll never be recognized as a legitimate child of the Gu family."
At the ntion of the child, her tone turned disdainful.
She even blad Gu Qixiao for his carelessness, allowing a mistress to get pregnant.
"It seems you’re quite knowledgeable and even capable of predicting the future. Are you possibly involved in so kind of peculiar occupation?"
Ji Yu found the entire situation increasingly amusing.
For Ling Xia to think she could maintain such arrogance here? That was absurd.
"If you two end up together, I won’t stand in your way. Just notify , and I’ll disappear from your world." Whether she could truly win over Gu Qixiao remained to be seen.
"Ji Yu, don’t fake such politeness with . Sooner or later, we’ll be together. He had a crush on back in college — I’ve told you that before."
Ling Xia seed utterly convinced about this.
"If it hadn’t been for Song Xuan, how could we possibly have been separated?"
Apparently, Song Xuan had already been in the picture back then, but the way Ling Xia recounted this was astounding.
"Song Xuan is no longer by his side now. He’s already repaid his debt of gratitude. From now on, it’ll just be about us."
She had mapped out a future for herself and Gu Qixiao, utterly convinced that she was the one he truly loved.
Ji Yu had no interest in continuing this pointless back-and-forth with her.
Conveniently, Song Xuan also happened to co looking for Ji Yu.
Hearing Ling Xia’s words, Song Xuan let out a cold chuckle.
"Do you really believe Xiao likes you?" She had simply co to discuss so future matters with Ji Yu, never expecting to run into an old acquaintance here.
"And you are?" Ling Xia couldn’t recognize her at first glance due to her restored appearance.
"Weren’t you just talking about ? Why are you pretending now like you don’t know who I am?" Song Xuan wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with Ling Xia, though those past events weren’t particularly significant to her.
"Ji Yu, I ca to discuss sothing with you. Can you send her away first? She has nothing to do with Xiao."
She stated this with absolute certainty.
Ji Yu grew curious about this supposed crush Ling Xia spoke so confidently about.
Perhaps sensing Ji Yu’s curiosity, Song Xuan gleefully exploited the opportunity to sprinkle salt into the wound.
"Those rumors were spread by her. She doesn’t even rember herself that she orchestrated the whole thing — every claim about Xiao liking her was her doing."
"You’re lying! I didn’t arrange any of that. Why would I? We’re genuinely connected by feelings." Ling Xia beca visibly agitated at hearing this.
Ji Yu hadn’t expected the truth to be like this.
"So, it’s all just in your imagination? What a pity. You two really have no chance, then." Ji Yu saw no need to spare any kindness to soone like this.
After all, they were never going to be friends. She might as well offend her thoroughly.
As expected, upon hearing this, Ling Xia lost control of her emotions.
Her vision darkened, and she outright fainted on the spot.
Song Xuan looked down at her with disdain. "Now, can we have a proper conversation? She’s already unconscious, and frankly, this has little to do with her anyway."
She had co to Ji Yu today with one goal in mind: to convince Ji Yu to leave Gu Qixiao.
Or perhaps the two of them could stay by Gu Qixiao’s side together.
"I really like Xiao, so I will never back down. Between the two of us, he has to choose. But that would be cruel to him. Why not let both of us remain in his life?"
Sotis, Ji Yu couldn’t help but wonder if Song Xuan was ntally unstable. Otherwise, how could she say sothing so deranged?
"Did you even consider my feelings when you said that? Right now, I’m his girlfriend. Why should I give him up for you? Do you think there’s any possibility for the two of you at this point?"
From the current situation, it didn’t seem like they even had the basics of a connection anymore.
"Don’t you feel any sha when you say things like that? Of course, feel free to keep talking — I’m not bothered. But if you want to agree to this, it’s absolutely impossible."
So things needed to be made clear.
