Dong Qian was so angry that he ended up in the hospital.
He wasn’t in serious condition, but still called Gu Linhai and ng Qian to the hospital in the middle of the night.
The couple rushed to the hospital, thinking he was in critical condition. When they arrived, they found him standing by the bedside, inhaling oxygen and cursing people.
The sound was deafening.
It was obvious he was fine.
Yelling in the ward in the middle of the night, despite several attempts to calm him, the doctors and nurses couldn’t do anything about it.
The couple stood at the doorway, breathing unsteadily, looking at him sowhat dumbfounded.
Dong Qian, cursing, spotted them and imdiately regained his composure, though he was still very angry: "Sister, brother-in-law."
ng Qian didn’t imdiately react.
It was Gu Linhai who stepped in first, asking, "What happened? What’s going on?"
Dong Qian sat on the bed, struggling to breathe even with the oxygen.
After a mont he said, "It’s Qiao Yuxian."
"Did she hit you again?" ng Qian asked.
"I’d rather she had." Dong Qian grumbled.
"What’s really going on?" ng Qian asked urgently.
Pressed by the question, Dong Qian suddenly found himself tongue-tied. In the end, he just mumbled vaguely, "Anyway, I have to take her life."
When he said this, both Gu Linhai and ng Qian glanced towards the door.
Then ng Qian quickly closed the door to the ward.
Returning, she gave Dong Qian a nudge on the back: "The matter is being handled. Don’t ntion a word about this again."
"Sister, why are you so scared?" Dong Qian said, "She’s just a brat."
"Watch what you say." ng Qian warned him.
"Alright." Dong Qian replied unwillingly.
ng Qian glanced at him, and continued, "Why did you clash with her again? The matter over there is almost settled, if you pick a fight with her now and sothing happens, you’ll be the first suspect."
"She was asking for it; I didn’t do anything to her." Dong Qian said.
"You should have settled it tonight, then the account would be clear. Saves trouble later if sothing happens and you get blad." ng Qian asked again, "So what actually happened?"
Dong Qian opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
"You..." ng Qian wanted to say sothing more, but Gu Linhai held her hand.
She looked at Gu Linhai.
Gu Linhai, sitting on a chair by the bed, patted her hand and said, "If he doesn’t want to say, don’t force him."
The couple exchanged a glance.
ng Qian understood, raised her hand and gave Dong Qian two more nudges on his back: "Haven’t you seen a woman before? Don’t you have a wife at ho? Stirring up trouble everywhere."
Dong Qian said nothing.
Gu Linhai continued, "Get it done soon, it’s just a matter of days. Keep your head down these days, and keep your mouth shut."
"Got it." Dong Qian replied.
"It’s not a big problem, even if they suspect you, without evidence they can’t do much." Gu Linhai said, "For you, Yanjing would give so face. So don’t worry."
ng Qian, sowhat appeased, agreed with him.
"If it were up to , I’d just take her life." Dong Qian murmured, "Once she’s dead, Gu Yanjing will forget her in a few days. Saves the trouble."
"No." Gu Linhai opposed very firmly.
Dong Qian looked at him in confusion: "Brother-in-law, why? That brat almost took my life.
"I have my plans." Gu Linhai replied.
Seeing he didn’t wish to elaborate, Dong Qian looked towards ng Qian.
ng Qian said, "Just listen to what he says. There’s a reason for doing it this way."
Dong Qian said nothing more.
Gu Linhai and ng Qian sat in the ward for a while and, seeing that he was fine, then left.
Once they were gone, Dong Qian sat up in bed, and after a while, called his assistant: "Are you out of the country yet?"
The assistant replied, "Not yet. Qiao Yuxian’s itinerary is uncertain right now, so we’re waiting for the right opportunity. There’s no confird ti, so Second Master Gu wants to finalize things in a few days before leaving."
"Then tomorrow, pay a visit to that truck driver." Dong Qian said.
The assistant was silent for a mont, then asked, "Mr. Dong, has sothing changed?"
"Yes." Dong Qian leaned against the headboard, glanced at the ceiling light, and said softly, "Tell that driver that if he hits, don’t leave Qiao Yuxian alive."
"This..." The assistant was silent again, hesitantly asked, "But Second Master said..."
"Do as I say." Dong Qian instructed, "If sothing happens, just say the driver lost control."
The assistant paused, then said, "Understood. I’ll handle it promptly."
...
Because of the gathering before Qiao Yuxian’s internship.
For several consecutive days, Mr. Gu, after finishing work in his study, would wait for his little wife out enjoying herself to return ho.
Tonight was even later.
When he heard the sound of parking outside, it was already after eleven twenty.
He got up and walked out.
Outside, he saw Qiao Yuxian talking quietly with Shang Chen.
From the looks of it... it seed like they weren’t reaching an agreent.
He walked straight over.
Qiao Yuxian, hearing footsteps, imdiately fell silent and turned to Gu Yanjing with a very obedient smile.
Gu Yanjing glanced at her ingratiating smile, then at Shang Chen, and asked, "What are you plotting?"
"Nothing, nothing." Qiao Yuxian hooked her arm around his, pulling him towards the villa, "Just chatting casually after getting out of the car."
Gu Yanjing looked at her, stopped, and turned to Shang Chen.
Seeing he wasn’t moving, Qiao Yuxian tugged at him, took two steps forward, but couldn’t move him. So she could only look at Shang Chen too, glaring at him, subtly giving him a aningful look.
Gu Yanjing watched her slightly widened eyes.
Shang Chen also received her gaze and understood her aning.
But he glanced at Gu Yanjing, and reported, "Mr. Gu, we ran into Dong Qian tonight."
Qiao Yuxian’s eyes widened even more, glaring fiercely at him.
Shang Chen completely ignored her and continued, "Dong Qian tried to assault soone, but my wife stopped him."
Qiao Yuxian looked at him in surprise, gritting her teeth, "Couldn’t you phrase it better?"
Shang Chen pursed his lips, thought seriously for a mont, and said, "My wife said Dong Qian is cheap, said the person wasn’t interested in him, and he still wanted to force himself. Also said Dong Qian is ugly, bad physique, and unskilled."
Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian opened her mouth, looked at Shang Chen, then at Gu Yanjing, and said, "I..."
Before she could finish, Shang Chen added, "My wife also said he’s weak, couldn’t last halfway. Everyone likes young, handso, fit n, not ones like him who can’t perform."
"When did I say that!" Qiao Yuxian exclaid.
She had told him all the way not to ntion to Gu Yanjing about seeing Dong Qian.
Because she instinctively felt that whatever ca out of his mouth would get twisted.
If he had to say it, at least be tactful.
Turns out he was counter-tactful.
Shang Chen looked at her angry expression, paused and said, "That’s roughly the aning. My wife wanted to report it more tactfully."
