Chapter 35 part2
Back at Yan's mansion, Yan Wenhong did not ask Gu Xueyi why she did what she did today and just went straight upstairs to rest.
Meanwhile, Gu Xueyi did not even look at the items she bought back and just asked the maid to pack them upstairs.
The maid told her that the study was tidied up, so Gu Xueyi went to check the new study first.
The new study room was completely arranged according to her request, with tables, chairs, bookshelves, sofas, computers, printers, and so on… it was like a home-like office space.
Gu Xueyi had someone move the books she had bought, which were of a complicated variety, over.
Then she casually pulled another book out and continued reading.
Soon it was afternoon.
Gu Xueyi got up and moved around a bit and followed her memory to perform a set of boxing skills that she had once learned from her father and brother.
"Madam, it's time for dinner." The maid came and knocked on the door.
Gu Xueyi responded and put on her coat, slowly buttoning the buttons while walking downstairs.
When she arrived at the dining area, she was alone.
"Where's Yan Wenhong?"
"The young master didn't come down."
"Did he come down for lunch?"
She ate her lunch in her new study, holding her book, without even leaving the room.
The maid said, "He did not. But it was sent to the young master's room."
Gu Xueyi frowned and turned to head upstairs.
The maid was a little afraid of Gu Xueyi but still hurriedly followed up and explained. "The young master is often like this and doesn't like others to disturb him."
Also, the young master was so well-behaved that he never needed others to worry about him ah…
Gu Xueyi stood outside Yan Wenhong's bedroom door.
She only realized that this room and her new study were directly opposite from each other.
Gu Xueyi raised her hand and knocked on the door.
There was no movement inside the door.
Gu Xueyi's face remained unchanged as she continued to knock on the door.
It took a full half minute before someone walked up to the door and asked, "Who?"
"It's me." Gu Xueyi said.
The door opened with a creak.
Gu Xueyi's eyes glanced at the food on the cabinet to the left of the entrance door. It was not touched and hadn't moved at all.
"Are you not feeling well?" Gu Xueyi asked.
Yan Wenhong raised his gaze showing a well-behaved face, he even showed a little smile. "I'm okay sister-in-law, I just want to sleep more…"
Gu Xueyi put one hand against the door, and with a gentle push opened the door.
Her movements caught him off guard and Yan Wenhong could not block her in time.
Yan Wenhong's appearance was completely reflected in Gu Xueyi's eyes.
He was wearing a white cotton nightgown, his messy hair was wet with sweat and pressed against his forehead, his face pale.
Gu Xueyi immediately turned her head and ordered, "Have the driver prepare the car."
"Are you going to walk down there yourself, or should I have my bodyguard carry you down?"
Yan Wenhong: "…"
He whispered, "I'll do it myself."
Gu Xueyi turned around and walked ahead.
Yan Wenhong went back and locked the door.
Gu Xueyi suddenly turned around and said, "If you want to lock your door, I don't mind having the bodyguard cut the door with a machine to open it later."
Yan Wenhong smiled even softer, "Sister-in-law, how could I? I'll be right down."
His gaze flickered.
Not only has she become calmer and has a sweet tooth, but she also has become unyielding.
Yan Wenhong got into the car.
Gu Xueyi sat in right after and threw a jacket at him.
Yan Wenhong grabbed his jacket with his slightly cold fingertips…then Gu Xueyi stuffed a warm hand patch into his palm.
Yan Wenhong couldn't help but look up at Gu Xueyi.
She seems to think of everything in mind…
By the time the car arrived at the hospital, Yan Wenhong's face was already very pale.
He gets examined, gets scanned, and then the results.
It took over half an hour to complete the series of tasks.
"…the patient had been suffering from a history of gastric ulcer which caused vomiting and diarrhea after consuming milk as well as cold foods…" the doctor reported.
The nurse found a wheelchair for Yan Wenhong to sit on.
He sat obediently on it, with his long legs bent up and his pale face looked a bit pitiful, making him even more youthful.
But when Gu Xueyi swept a glance at him, she saw that there was not a bit of extra emotion on his face at all.
It was as if the patient the doctor described was not him.
Yan Wenhong was immediately put on a drip, and the doctor gave him another prescription for the medication he needed to take.
Gu Xueyi walked over and sat down.
She stretched out her legs and hooked the wheelchair on this side with the tips of her high heels.
"You have a stomachache, so why didn't you refuse?" Gu Xueyi asked.
Yan Wenhong whispered in answer. "I didn't know I had a stomach problem."
"Can't you feel pain?" Gu Xueyi's voice turned chilled.
He often feels uncomfortable, has poor digestion, and even feels like vomiting.
Yan Wenhong pursed his lower lip as if he wasn't quite used to being asked like this.
After a few seconds, he said slowly, "That was my sister-in-law being kind to me."
"If a good intention is meant for you turned out to ultimately harm you, it doesn't matter if it was kindness, you should learn to say no."
"…." Yan Wenhong did not answer.
The first three did not listen to anything she said before.
When it was his turn, he listened to everything she said.
"Finish the drip first." Gu Xueyi said, she then got up and went out to call Chen Yujin.
When Chen Yujin's phone rang, he was momentarily in a trance.
"Hello, madam?"
"Secretary Chen, good afternoon." Gu Xueyi paused before she stated the purpose of her call, "Do you know the name of the school that Yan Wenhong attends?"
Chen Yujin on the other end moved the mouse and glanced at the computer calendar.
Yan Wenhong is back?
Chen Yujin pursed her lips, "I'm sorry, I'm not too sure about this. His studies were not arranged by the Yan family but by his mother's side."
Gu Xueyi pursed her lower lip.
Yam Wenbo said that he would visit his mother…she agreed. Master Yao's father's former mistresses were all gone.
Turns out there are still living ones.
"Good. Excuse me."
"Okay, I understand. Sorry to bother you."
"No…not a bother at all." Chen Yujin was about to say something else, but the other side had already hung up.
Chen Yujin had to put down his phone.
Yan Wenhong is back ah …
Gu Xueyi walked back to the hospital room with a cup of hot water and handed it to Yan Wenhong.
It would be better to ask Yan Wenhong directly.
Gu Xueyi opened her lips and was about to ask him, when Yan Wenhong grabbed the cup, and suddenly asked, "Is sister-in-law just as good as second brother and the others?"
Chapter 35 part3
Yan Wenhong was admitted to the hospital while Gu Zueyi was once again on the hot search.
#Gu Xueyi and Baoxin Pei's younger brother#
today's gossip: this afternoon a reporter witnessed the scene of Madam Gu and Baoxin Pei's younger brother crazily buying jewelry and bags…[image]…
Pei Lixin asked her assistant to put the laptop in front of her to open the hot search, turned around, and said coldly. "Gu Xueyi accepted my gifts but didn't take any action at all, then don't blame us. Once this hot search is up, at least in the eyes of others, she has already sided with Baoxin. If she doesn't make a move and Master Yao comes back alive, she will be the first person he will deal with…a divorce paper will make her die."
Pei Zhikang stayed there long enough, hoping to have the reporters they hired take more usable photos.
To demonstrate the closeness between Gu Xueyi and Baoxin.
In the eyes of the general public, this should be what they see. Thus, they specially hired navy troops to set the pace and when it falls in the eyes of interested people, it would be enough for them to get the message from it.
Pei Lixin glanced at the computer screen as she spoke.
But the words on it were small and dense, and Pei Lixin was too lazy to read them, so she called her assistant: "You read it out to me and young master Pei."
The assistant froze, "Read what?"
"Read the comments section."
The assistant stared for a moment and stumbled over the words, "Crying with envy, is this how the rich live?"
Pei Lixin frowned, "Next."
"Ah I'm dead, Gu Xueyi is so beautiful ah ah ah!"
Pei Lixin frowned more tightly, "What's all this nonsense…"
The assistant had no choice and jumped down again, "Emm…amazing, Baoxin's brother is carrying Madam Yan's bag, like a servant."
"Wait! What did you read? Don't read it! Give it to me!" Pei Lixin's expression changed and she violently flipped the laptop back.
Pei Zhikang's expression suddenly became strange.
Both siblings gathered in front of the computer screen.
The assistant quickly and awkwardly waved his hand and said, "Ms. Pei, just now that wasn't what I said, it's the comment that I read, the comment said…."
Pei Lixin did not make a sound; she was so angry that everything she wanted to say was choked in her throat.
In the photo released by the marketing account, Gu Xueyi was wearing high heels, with a graceful figure and outstanding temperament, like a naturally noble young lady.
Pei Zhikang who was following her behind, on the other hand, was loaded with bags from his right to left hand, and because Gu Xueyi and Yan Wenhong were walking side by side, he had to walk behind them.
Looking at this! Wasn't he looking like a dog running after the eldest lay while carrying her things?
She look at the comment section again:
[Who can educate people about Baoxin?]
[It's a very awesome company, few people know that it's a subsidiary of Yan Clan, right? Anyway, it's awesome, the unspeakable kind of awesome.]
[666. I seem to have heard of the name of the Pei family, which is said to be quite fierce in the industry, but it turns out, Master Pei looks more like a kitten in front of Madam Yan?]
[Pei Lixin's younger brother? Pei Zhikang? High school classmate here, em, this guy is very arrogant and has a bad character. I didn't expect him to be so humble in front of Madam Yan. OK, I feel good]
[It must be Pei Zhikang's honor to carry Madam Yan's things!]
…
…
Pei Lixin and her little brother were from a poor family in a mountain village, when they were at their poorest, Pei Lixin went to the garbage dump to pick up thrown food.
Later, Pei Lixin received funding from Yan Xunhua and went to college, married Yan Xunhua after his first wife died, and now that she was married to the Yan family, the siblings lived a good life.
What do they hate most in life?
They hate that others say they have no money and that they are inferior…
Pei Lixin was so angry that she smashed the ashtray in her hand, "What exactly does Gu Xueyi mean by this? Did she already know that we had arranged for reporters to take pictures? That's why she's bullying you so deliberately? So that everyone could see you are her servant!"
Pei Zhikang moved his lips, "She may … just be naturally arrogant."
Pei Lixing thought of Gu Xueyi's previous behavior and had to admit that indeed, Gu Xueyi was just naturally arrogant.
Pei Lixin swallowed the words into her stomach.
It took a while for Pei Lixin to regain her composure.
"If we can't cover up Baoxin's matter, we will lose all our glory and wealth. If we don't solve the matter of Master Yao, we may not just end well but we may also lose our lives. Master Yao this person's methods … are too vicious, too insidious. If he comes back alive, no one will have a better time… "Pei Lixin inhaled a breath as if she was trying to restrain the fear in her heart when she thought of Master Yan.
"It's better to invite her to the charity dinner. President Feng will be there that day, and surely President Feng will teach her a lesson for us and make her obedient…not knowing how to be polite and what is good or bad, she can't blame us either."
Pei Zhikang recalled Feng Yu's appearance and said, "Sister, will this work?"
Why does he feel that when dealing with Feng Yu was like dealing with a tiger's schemes?
"I think maybe Mr. Feng wouldn't want to do such a nasty thing …"
"Nonsense." Pei Lixin exploded, "He, Feng Yu, has never been a gentleman to achieve his goal. He wished that Master Yan died completely!"
"Achoo–"
A sneeze came out, and the young man was stunned for about ten seconds, probably not expecting such a reaction.
After a while, he slowly furrowed his brow.
The door behind him pushed open, and soon his brow relaxed.
The young man spun the wheelchair under him and slowly turned around.
The one who came was a dark-skinned foreign man, who made a bunch of scowls at the young man and asked in a soddy tone, "How is it? That female student from your country, is she taking care of you well?"
The young man lifted his eyelids, his brows handsome and sparse with a hint of indifference, "Not good."
"She talks too much and doesn't wear a mask, so I suspect she's given me the flu."
Dark-skinned foreign man: "?"
Outside a think panel door.
A young and thin-skinned female college student had a reddened face, turning white, and then a combination of green, red, and white. Then she suddenly turned around and met the puzzled gaze of several young man's subordinates.
She shed a couple of tears as she runs away.
