ruo's words, Cheng Keixin was so angry that her whole body trembled. All this time, it had been Cheng Ruoruo who pretended to be innocent and deceived people. She now actually had the face to say such...On the other side, Su Keqin knew that her current emotions made it impossible to work properly. After swapping interviews with Zheng Jie, she took a leave of absence and went home.
Back at the Gu family villa after taking a taxi, Su Ke Xin walked into the foyer, took off her shoes, and was too exhausted to even want to go in. She just sat down on the doorstep, staring blankly ahead.
"Gu Yihan... Gu Yihan... You're truly amazing."
Every time I thought you had reached the limit of my endurance, you always had a more cruel way to torment me.
You not only gave my things away to another man, but now you even personally use money to humiliate me
Su Keqin's tears were about to well up, when she suddenly felt a lightness in her body. By the time she reacted, she was already suspended in mid-air.
"Ah." Su Ke Xin was startled, she turned her head and saw Gu Chi's sharp and handsome face, "Gu Chi You... how are you home"
It's only noon, shouldn't Gu Chi be at the company at this time
"Come back and get some things." Gu Chi said briefly, his gaze falling on Su Ke Xin's red eyes, his expression slightly sinking, "What about you Why are you back so early"
"I finished early today, so I came back ahead of schedule..." Su Ke Xin said evasively. She suddenly realized that Gu Chi was standing with her still in a princess carry. Her face flushed, "That... you should let me down... people might see us."
"No one's home." Gu Chi said lightly, turning to hug Su Ke Xin and walk into the house. "Sitting on the ground is cool, don't do it again in the future."
Gu Zhi put Su Ke Xin on the sofa in the living room and asked faintly, "Have you eaten"
Su Ke Xin only then remembered that she was so frightened by Gu Yi Han that she hadn't even touched her meal. She shook her head, "What about you"
"Not yet."
"Then I'll cook for you." Since Wang Ma wasn't there, the task of cooking naturally fell to Su Ke Xin, her wife. But as she just got up, she suddenly realized something and awkwardly said, "That...can I just make a simple fried rice"
She knew Gu Chi was very particular about eating this kind of noodles. Usually, when Wang Ma prepared meals, they weren't luxurious dishes but were always meticulously prepared with a full table spread, something she couldn't manage.
Gu Zhi looked at Su Kexin's slightly nervous expression, feeling a bit cute, and couldn't help but purse his thin lips, "Okay."
Su Keqin only then relaxed, placing her bag and phone on the tea table and walking into the kitchen.
Su Keqin was busy in the kitchen when suddenly, her phone outside "dinged," signaling a received text message.
Su KeXin was stir-frying rice, unable to leave her post, and worried that it might be someone important from the company asking something crucial. So she shouted in the kitchen, "Gu Chi, could you please check who sent the text message"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gu Chi had originally been reading today's financial newspaper. Upon hearing this, he only lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on the phone on the tea table.
Su Kexin's phone was the kind where text messages and sender information were visible on the screen even when it wasn't unlocked. So Gu Chi immediately saw a name that made him cringe—
Given the cold.
What's even more eye-catching is the text message content below.
Ke Xin, if your mom really needs medical expenses, I'll lend you some.
Gu Zhi clutched the newspaper in his hand, suddenly squeezing it tightly.
Ke Xin
Well.
Such a sweet and endearing term of address.
And, why did Gu Yichan know that Su Kexin's mother needed medical expenses
Could it be that Su Kexin told him herself
The thought flashed through his mind, and Gu Chi only felt a strange anger rising in his chest.
Su Kexin hadn't told herself that her mother was seriously ill, but she told Gu Yichan
On the other hand, Su Kexin had just finished stir-frying the rice and was carrying it out of the kitchen when she casually said, "Dinner is ready."
Su Kexin didn't notice Gu Chi's displeasure in the living room on the other side. She only wanted to take off the apron she was wearing, but the knot of the apron was tied too tightly, and it was a bit difficult to untie at this moment.
Gu Chi raised his head and noticed Su Ke Xin's awkward situation. He slowly got up, walked behind her, and took hold of her hand which was unknotting something. "Let me do it," he said.
Feeling Gu Chi standing right behind her, his breath brushing against her neck as he spoke, Su Kexin's face flushed red. She quickly retracted her hand and said, "Thank you."
Gu Chi didn't speak, he just helped Su Ke Xin loosen the knot, but coincidentally, Su Ke Xin had just messed it up herself and turned the slip knot into a dead knot, which was rather difficult to untie.
"That..." She could clearly feel the man's breath behind her, Su Ke Xin was a little nervous and had to change the subject, "Whose text message was that just now"
Gu Chijie's hand hesitated for a moment, but he quickly replied, "Gu Yichen."
Su Ke Xin's body stiffened.
"Don't ask him what he sent you" Gu Yichen took the initiative to ask when Su Keixin remained silent.
Su Ke Xin swallowed, forcing a wry smile. "Another insult"
"No." Gu Chi finally relaxed at this moment, personally took off the apron from Su Ke Xin, "He said, he can lend you your mother's medical expenses."
Su Ke Xin widened her eyes, turning in surprise, "How did he know..."
She wanted to ask, how did Gu Yichan know about her mother's need for medical expenses But as she turned around, she met Gu Chi's icy gaze.
Su Keqin was taken aback.
"Gu Chi, you..." Seeing Gu Chi's reaction, Su Ke Xin also understood what, her voice trembled, "You also know about my mother's illness"
Gu Chi lowered his head to look at Su Ke Xin.
Her forehead was beaded with a fine layer of sweat from the busyness in the kitchen, and her bangs had fallen slightly. Gu Chi couldn't help but reach out and tuck her hair behind her ear, seeming to casually say, "Yes, I know."
Su Keqin's eyelashes trembled.
Actually, she should have realized it a long time ago: Gu Chi was the kind of person who knew everything about her, every move and every action she made was probably within his grasp.
Seeing Su Kexin remain silent, Gu Chi frowned, "Are you angry"
"No." Su Keqin shook her head wearily. "As for your wealthy families, it's only right to be more cautious about the people around you."
It's just like how Gu Yichen, back then, deliberately concealed his identity. It wouldn't be strange for Gu Chi to investigate himself.
Su Ke Xin's tone was a bit hurtful to Gu Chi.
He had never thought about guarding against Su Kexin. Besides checking her background before marriage, he hadn't intentionally investigated her again. This time, it was only because he needed to investigate what happened two years ago that he incidentally found out about her mother's situation.
"Su KeXin." Gu Chi felt a strange unease in his heart. He was just about to speak when, suddenly, Su KeXin's phone on the tea table beside him rang.
"I have a call coming in." Su Kexin didn't want to continue facing Gu Chi at this point, and this phone call was like a lifeline. She quickly broke free from Gu Chi and ran into the living room.
Upon seeing the incoming call on her phone, Su Kexin was taken aback and hurriedly answered, "Hello, Dr. Liu, that... regarding this medical bill, I've almost raised the money, please—"
Before she could finish her sentence, a doctor's anxious voice came through the phone, "Ms. Su, your mother's condition has suddenly worsened and requires immediate surgery! Could you please come over now to sign the papers and pay the medical fees That way we can start the surgery as soon as possible!"uickly."Quite the eye you have.""It's okay, I'm a regular guest. There will be other opportunities in the future. Unlike you, who only has this one chance. Once it's gone, it's gone."Gu Kejun's face s...
