Gu Qin’s thick skin seed impervious to words, as if she couldn’t understand them. Gu Yan was tired of it, so she decided to lay it all out clearly.
"Gu Qin, do you really not understand what I’m saying, or are you pretending not to? Either way, let make it clear." Gu Yan glanced at her coldly, "Besides changing my dad’s ward, I really don’t want to have a al with anyone else, especially not you. Stop insisting on thanking him. Do you think I don’t know what you’re after? I’d advise you to give up; you don’t stand a chance."
Given Tang Yuxiu’s character, if Gu Qin dared to make a move on him, her end would be quite miserable.
This was just a reminder out of so remaining conscience, to prevent her from heading towards her own doom.
But alas, others didn’t appreciate it.
"Gu Yan, what do you an? I just wanted to thank that person in person, and you’re constantly obstructing it. Do you have sothing to hide?"
Li Xiulan chid in, "Exactly, she’s definitely guilty or afraid that our Gu Qin might outshine her and make that person like our Gu Qin instead. You’d have nowhere to cry then."
Three black lines appeared behind Gu Yan’s head. Like mother, like daughter; both were so full of themselves, thinking they were the most charming in the world, and that everyone should comply with them.
Damn, this is a serious disease, it needs to be treated!
Gu Yan retorted with a cold laugh, "I think you’re the one who can’t understand human speech. Didn’t you hear say he doesn’t like eting strangers!"
Gu Qin’s face turned pale and then red, but years of practice quickly restored her expression.
"That’s just an excuse. How do you know he doesn’t want to without asking?" Gu Qin was eager to know who that man was. If it was Tang Yuxiu, even better. Her target was none other than Tang Yuxiu.
If it wasn’t Tang Yuxiu, as long as it wasn’t Qin Junnan, and the other person had good conditions, he would certainly be her target too.
Gu Yan had no idea of her thoughts, just wanted to smack her on the head.
How did she know he wouldn’t agree?
It’s simple because that’s her man!
She knew him and knew he wouldn’t want to et them. Even if she didn’t know, if she said he wouldn’t et them, then Tang Yuxiu wouldn’t et them!
Gu Yan’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know where her confidence ca from. It seed she had been getting along too well with Tang Yuxiu lately, becoming more and more brazen, and increasingly narcissistic.
"Stop talking; you better cut it out. Even if you talk until your lips bleed or the sky falls, I will never tell him you want to invite him for dinner."
Gu Yan emphasized "you," excluding Gu’s father from Gu Qin’s excuse of inviting soone for dinner, which was actually a ploy to seduce.
"Gu Yan, you really have no conscience!"
More accusations of having no conscience.
Gu Yan nonchalantly cleaned her ears. She’s been hearing this all her life, especially during the ti her dad was hospitalized. Every eting with them included this line.
Initially, she felt indignant, but now, they could say whatever they wanted.
From now on, she would only be responsible for taking care of and supporting her father. The others were already unrelated to her by any ans.
She couldn’t wait to pretend not to recognize anyone familiar she bumped into on the street.
"It’s not like you just found out I have no conscience."
Gu Qin was choked by her words and couldn’t speak for a while.
Gu Qin glared sharply at Gu Yan. This damn girl was becoming more and more sharp-tongued.
Just as she was thinking about how to counter-attack, Gu Yan’s phone rang.
Gu Yan glanced at the na on the screen, hesitated for a mont, and then picked up the call.
"When will you be down?"
It was Tang Yuxiu. He had arrived at the hospital at the sa ti Gu Yan did, but he went straight to park the car, while Gu Yan went directly into the hospital lobby, so they didn’t et.
"I’ll be down in a bit. I need to check with the doctor about when my dad can be discharged and what to watch for after discharge."
There was a brief silence on the other end, "Don’t make wait too long."
"If you’re tired of waiting, why don’t you just leave first?"
"What are you talking about? I’m already here; I’ll just wait."
"Alright then."
Gu Qin noticed that Gu Yan’s conversation didn’t sound like it was with a woman or just an ordinary friend. Her mind spun, and suddenly she took a few steps closer and shouted into Gu Yan’s phone, "Gu Yan, is that the person who changed Uncle’s ward? Since he’s here, why not invite him up for a bit? We should thank him for the good care Uncle received at the hospital."
Gu Yan was startled, and the warmth in her eyes turned cold.
She gave Gu Qin a cold glance, took a deep breath, and tried to keep her voice calm.
"I’ll be right down, gotta go."
Without waiting for Tang Yuxiu’s reply, she hung up the call and looked at Gu Qin with icy eyes, "Gu Qin, you’d better know when to stop!"
But Gu Qin didn’t care, looking at her contemptuously, "What? Are you afraid the man on the phone will find out sothing? Gu Yan, you’re the shaless one, ssing around everywhere."
"Gu Qin, what nonsense are you talking about?" Gu’s father couldn’t take it anymore hearing Gu Qin’s words and reprimanded in a deep voice.
"Uncle, don’t be fooled by Gu Yan’s seemingly obedient and pure appearance. She’s just pretending; who knows how many n she’s entangled with behind the scenes."
Gu’s father’s face darkened, clearly not believing Gu Qin’s words. "I know my own daughter; she’s not that kind of person. You keep your mouth shut."
Listening to Gu’s father defending her, Gu Yan felt warmth in her heart.
Turning to face Gu Qin, she indeed didn’t show any kindness.
"Don’t judge others by your own standards, thinking everyone is as promiscuous as you, addicted to seducing n."
Gu Qin’s face changed, sowhat exasperated, "Gu Yan, stop slandering !"
"Slander? I don’t know how many different n I’ve seen you with, oh, and one of them I know, Xue Jiarui, you rember? He thinks won like you can only please n in bed and have no other value."
After speaking, Gu Yan silently apologized to Xue Jiarui in her heart. He hadn’t actually said such things, she just borrowed his na since among the n Gu Qin had been with, she only knew about Xue Jiarui.
Gu Qin was furious, her face turning livid, losing any semblance of composure, her eyes fierce as if she could pounce on her and bite her any mont.
Gu Yan sneered coldly; if people don’t provoke her, she won’t provoke them. Gu Qin had paraded before her ti and again, spouting shaless words, and she had had enough!
Since she didn’t want any more ties with them, what did it matter if they fell out?
"Gu Yan, if you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I can make your life difficult?"
Gu Yan lifted her chin slightly, looking at her disdainfully, "Go ahead, try it!"
Gu Qin hated her attitude of not taking her seriously, stomped her foot, and rushed forward to slap Gu Yan.
Gu’s father widened his eyes and shouted, "Gu Qin, stop it!" as he tried to get out of bed to stop her.
Mrs. Gu watched coldly, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Li Xiulan laughed with a twisted face of glee and hatred.
Gu Yan watched Gu Qin’s hand approaching coldly, not dodging, and just as it was about to hit her, she was about to strike back, but soone was faster.
Gu Yan was stunned, turning to see Tang Yuxiu standing there with a cold face and a glint of ice in his eyes.
Wasn’t he supposed to be waiting downstairs? How did he co up?
Gu Qin hadn’t expected that just as she was about to succeed, soone would use great force to grab her hand.
The man’s strength was trendous, gripping her hand as if it were about to break, her face flushed in pain, her expression twisted.
But when she looked up and saw the man opposite her, she was stunned, montarily forgetting the pain in her hand.
It was him! The man she fancied, the one she must have! So charming!
Tang Yuxiu glanced coldly at Gu Qin, suddenly pushing her away with force, then taking out a handkerchief from his pocket to repeatedly wipe the hand he had grabbed Gu Qin with, his face full of disgust.
Gu Qin was pushed backward continuously by his force, losing her balance and falling to the ground. Ignoring the pain, she looked up incredulously at Tang Yuxiu, only to see him wiping his hand with disdain, as if it had been contaminated with so terrible germ.
Does she disgust him that much? Even a touch is unbearable?
At this mont, besides Li Xiulan rushing over to help her up, it seed no one was paying her any attention.
Gu Yan asked Tang Yuxiu, "Why did you co up?"
Tang Yuxiu eyed her with disapproval, "How else would I know you’re just standing there waiting to get hit?"
Gu Yan, "...I wasn’t, I was about to strike back when you showed up."
"Ha, did I interrupt your ideal mont to retaliate?"
Gu Yan quickly shook her head, "No, thank you for saving ha."
She put on a fawning face, which gradually dissipated Tang Yuxiu’s anger.
His woman, he couldn’t bear to hurt a single hair on her head, how could he let others bully her!
He turned his gaze, cold eyes landing on the pale-faced Gu Qin, his voice as chilling as it had drifted from a Siberian iceberg, "If you dare touch her again, I’ll make you wish you were dead."
Tang Yuxiu, being from a prominent family and having been in the business world for so long, with his aura and such expressions, such a threat was overwhelmingly intimidating to everyone present.
Especially his target, Gu Qin, who was imdiately scared to the point her legs went weak.
Li Xiulan was also pale with fear, her hands shaking as she supported Gu Qin.
Mrs. Gu, having once experienced Tang Yuxiu’s terrifying nature, instinctively touched her neck, rembering how she almost got strangled by him last ti!
Gu’s father’s heart trembled, feeling this man’s presence was too strong, his deterrence too overwhelming, making him feel afraid involuntarily.
Yet also puzzled, when did Gu Yan et such a man? They seed quite familiar, their relationship not so simple.
Gu Yan silently observed their expressions, reached out to tug on his sleeve, and said, "Don’t be so scary, you’re even scaring my dad."
The underlying aning being, it’s okay for you to scare others, but don’t scare her dad.
Tang Yuxiu, "...For whose sake am I doing this? This ungrateful one."
Gu Yan looked at him innocently, feeling there was nothing wrong with what she said.
