While they were talking, Gu You arrived.
The instant he stepped through the door he saw Xu Bi Ying lying on the hospital bed with an unwilling look on her face, her hair in a ss and her eyes red. Unexpectedly, it was a sowhat frightening scene.
Gu You was silent for a mont before he spoke. “Have you made enough of a fuss yet?”
“You Gege! You ca to see !”
The expression on Xu Bi Ying’s face looked like she was wronged. “Listen to , they’ve all been fooled by that woman Ruan Jiu Jiu. She isn’t at all the kind of person they think she is, it’s all a show she’s putting on, she…”
“Stop talking about this.”
Gu You had a stern look in his eye, no longer appearing as gentle and reserved as he usually did. He walked over to the side of Xu Bi Ying’s sickbed. “If you keep making such a ss, I’ll tell Uncle and Aunt everything that you’ve done. I can’t look after you anymore.”
“No!”
Her parents were still waiting expectantly for the news of her and Gu You’s marriage. Over the last few days, the two of them were still excitedly discussing where they should hold the wedding. Xu Bi Ying absolutely did not want to let them know that there was no hope left for anything between her and Gu You, and more so she didn’t want those useless people to see her making a fool of herself.
Xu Bi Ying helplessly grabbed onto Gu You’s clothes. “Believe , okay? She already knew long ago that you would make huge leaps in your career. The reason she didn’t get a divorce was also because she knew Cheng Jun was rich and that he was a huge CEO. She’s never been genuine or honest at all!”
“Xu Bi Ying!”
Gu You was obviously extrely infuriated. “Did Aunt and Uncle raise you to be soone who slanders others’ reputations outside like this?!”
Xu Bi Ying was still unresigned and bit her lip. “I’m not lying!” That Ruan Jiu Jiu definitely didn’t have any good intentions! The instant a better man appeared, she would definitely fly into soone else’s arms without the slightest hesitation.
The look in Gu You’s eyes as he gazed at her held a deep disappointnt, as well as extre indifference.
“There’s already news dia reporters hanging around outside waiting for a story. It’d be best if you just remain calm and don’t make groundless claims. If Tu Nan intends to sue you, I won’t side with you.”
Xu Bi Ying didn’t dare believe him. “Then you’re going to side with Ruan Jiu Jiu? For what reason? Who’s the person who’s known you for so many years, that has been friends with you since childhood?”
Gu You pulled away the corner of his jacket. “My Bi Ying ii doesn’t exist anymore.”
After dropping that line, he turned and left.
Gu You ca out of the ward. When he lifted his eyes, his gaze bumped into a man leaning on the wall. A black jacket was draped over his shoulders and he leaned against the cold ceramic tiles on the wall without much expression on his face. A pair of phoenix eyes carelessly flickered over towards Gu You, and even the look in his eyes was very indifferent.
Feeling a sense of absurdity, Gu You’s mind whirled as he wondered, back then on the other side of the computer screen, did Liszt also look at him in the sa way as he overestimated himself?
It truly made one feel anger, yet at the sa ti, a kind of powerlessness.
“How’s your shoulder, it’s not serious?” A few months ago, Gu You had injured his wrist and at that mont he felt a slight sense of camaraderie.
Cheng Jun withdrew his gaze, and even his eyes emitted a feeling of coolness. He slowly let out a cold scoff. “Not that bad.”
“Then that’s good. Oh yeah, how’s Ruan Jiu Jiu?”
Cheng Jun took a sidelong glance at him. He couldn’t be bothered to respond.
A few large words were written in his eyes: None of your goddamn business.
Tu Nan had gone out to take care of so matters related to Xu Bi Ying. Hopeful mbers of the dia were still eagerly hanging around outside, so he naturally couldn’t spare Cheng Jun any attention. Naturally, Cheng Jun also didn’t need Tu Nan to look after him.
Therefore, errands like buying Yakult fell into Ruan Jiu Jiu’s hands.
Cheng Jun only wanted to send away Ruan Jiu Jiu as he spoke a few lines to Gu You.
“I won’t let anyone hurt her no matter who they are.”
Gu You had a solemn look in his eyes. “I have the sa intentions as you.”
“Still rember what I said to you? Don’t waste your ti.”
Gu You frowned. “I…”
“Ai? Gu You, what are you doing here?” From faraway ca the sound of Ruan Jiu Jiu’s voice. “Ah…It’s related to our matter, isn’t it.”
When she thought about it, it made sense. Xu Bi Ying didn’t have a single person she recognized by her side. Asides from calling Gu You over to support her, it was likely that she didn’t have any other options. When Gu You realized the words Ruan Jiu Jiu didn’t say, he subconsciously refuted, “I didn’t co here to help speak for her.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll rely on evidence to do all the talking.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu shook her head, not wanting to discuss Xu Bi Ying any longer.
“You’re fine right, you didn’t get hurt?” Gu You asked with deep concern.
Ruan Jiu Jiu laughed as she said, “No, I…”
Cheng Jun suddenly made a suppressed groan, coincidentally breaking off the conversation between the two.
Ruan Jiu Jiu’s gaze quickly shifted over to Cheng Jun. “Does your arm still hurt? Why did you run out here before they said it was okay?”
Boss Cheng, who just had a careless and cool vibe in front of Gu You, half collapsed as Gu You stared, flabbergasted. The sharp and imposing air around him instantly scattered to the winds as he weakly held onto his injured shoulder, saying “I was a bit worried because I couldn’t find you.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu truly wanted to roll her eyes and ask who was the one who had just asked her to go buy Yakult. But every ti Cheng Jun showed his weak side, drooping pitifully and looking as helpless as a baby animal, Ruan Jiu Jiu couldn’t bring herself to put her foot down.
She sighed. “Didn’t I say I’d be back in just a mont? Co on.”
“Okay.”
Cheng Jun went with Ruan Jiu Jiu into his ward, leaving Gu You alone amidst his feelings of amazent and bitterness. He really couldn’t have expected that there was also a day that Cheng Jun lowered himself to use such a disgraceful thod. This kind of thinking where one worried about obtaining sothing and worried about losing it when they had it. But then again, he didn’t know what thoughts were in the mind of the person in question.
To be honest, he actually felt admiring and jealous to death.
……
The doctor repeatedly lectured Ruan Jiu Jiu on the important things to consider, with the main points warning her not to let his wound get wet, don’t let him do any strenuous activity, and to get a good rest.
Originally it was just a small injury and the doctor didn’t even think it was necessary to have a talk. It was rely that Cheng Jun, who was sitting to the side, stared at him with a look that made his scalp go numb. The doctor silently considered to himself that this could be regarded as benefiting the relationship between the couple, and so he conscientiously told Ruan Jiu Jiu a long list of unnecessary things to watch out for.
Ruan Jiu Jiu morized them one after the other.
When the two of them returned ho, Cheng Jun sat down on the sofa and said, “I want to eat stewed lamb chops.”
“You’re injured, how can you eat mutton?”
“Then fish…”
“You can’t eat fish either! What will we do if your wound gets inflad?” Ruan Jiu Jiu was very worried about if the wound took too long to heal, preventing Cheng Jun from functioning normally in the future. That would be very bad. “For the following few days, you can only eat porridge and lighter dishes. Wait until the wound heals, then you can feast yourself.”
Cheng Jun sensed that he was practically digging his own grave and imdiately took steps to redy this. “I think my wounds are recovered.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu glared at him. “You care about eating well more than your health? They say it takes 100 days to recover from a serious injury. Once a week has passed, we’ll get it checked again. Only then can we continue this conversation.”
“…”
God not only closed the window, he even sealed the door so that not a single ray of light could escape. Cheng Jun lay down on the sofa. This ti he really was paralyzed.
Was it too late now for regrets?
The past few days, Xu Bi Ying had undergone unbearable tornt.
She had just settled into this strange, yet familiar city and found a new job. But because of the farce with Jiacheng, her boss at her new job had probably caught wind of the rumors. Now Xu Bi Ying had not only lost her new job, she lost Gu You’s support.
She rarely put any money into her savings and had never paid any attention to the possibility of a crisis. Coming out of the police station, she suddenly realized that if she didn’t think up a way to fix things, she feared that her only remaining option was to go ho.
At this ti, Xu Bi Ying could only think of one person.
Drowning in despair, she dug out that business card and dialed their number.
When the other side picked up, the sound of Nangong Ao Tian’s sneer ca through the phone. “What, you’re calling again? Didn’t you run away with my mistress?”
Xu Bi Ying stood inside a cramped little apartnt.
This studio apartnt was no more than 40 square ters. The appliances were old and nothing was satisfactory. Now, she had fallen to the sa dire and hopeless straits that she had in her past life. How could she allow herself to repeat such a life that cut off all of one’s hopes and dreams? No, she definitely couldn’t!
Xu Bi Ying clutched her phone. The glories and riches in her mind were like a mirage that faded in the twinkling of an eye.
She only wanted to pass her days more comfortably. Was that so wrong? Why did everyone always look at her like she had committed so grave cris?
Xu Bi Ying couldn’t reconcile herself to it.
She wiped away her tears with desperation in her heart. There was nothing left between her and Gu You. Cheng Jun was even more impossible. A guy like that, how could he ever love soone else? She only had one more option left, which was to climb up the ladder at Nangong Ao Tian’s side.
Even though he wasn’t a good partner and compared to Gu You, besides having money, he didn’t have a single good point.
But…being rich was also a kind of strong point.
With every word she said, her voice shook. “I want to follow you.”
Nangong Ao Tian snorted and said with contempt, “Do you think I’m the kind of person who picks up others’ scraps? Don’t fool yourself, I’ve never accepted used goods.”
Xu Bi Ying, who had just been dubbed as “used goods”, tightly gripped her phone. Her whole body trembled as she was so enraged she almost dropped her act. She patiently endured it and said, “What if I have information that can be used against Jiacheng?”
Nangong Ao Tian coldly responded, “Do you think I’ll believe you this ti?”
“…”
Xu Bi Ying took a deep breath. “How about we et in person to talk.”
Once Ruan Jiu Jiu’s sordid past was exposed for the world to see, she wanted to see what they would do!
