ouldn't be hanging out with her anymore.Xu Zui's heart was filled with satisfaction. She immediately set off, ready to leave.But just as she had turned her body, Zhu Yuxin's icy voice rang out again —...He called just to ask Gu Ke yu to accompany him to visit his father, and he's almost at the entrance of the apartment complex now.
Gu Ke Yu didn't dawdle either, grabbed his bag and turned to go downstairs. When she reached the entrance of the apartment building, Lu Ji Yan just happened to drive over.
Gu Ke's house wasn't too far from the hospital, but this car ride felt like it lasted a century. Throughout the entire journey, neither she nor Lu Jiayan spoke, and the atmosphere was heavy with silence. Looking at Lu Jiayan's tense facial features, Gu Ke didn't know how to break the ice.
She was worried that Lu Jiayan would be deeply hurt because of Lu Yuanzhan's matter, so she could only reach out from time to time to hold his restless hand.
When he came to a red light, Lu Jiayan's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, able to crush a fly. His hands kept tapping the steering wheel incessantly.
After being comforted by Gu Ke'yu, Lu Jiyan turned his head and smiled again, then continued driving his car. It was rush hour now, and there were private cars everywhere on the road. After getting stuck for a while, Gu Ke'yu and they finally arrived at the hospital.
By the time they arrived, Lu Yuanzhan's surgery was already complete. However, he remained unconscious in the hospital ward. The spacious VIP ward was occupied only by Xie Qingqing and Lin Yiyi.
Lin Yiyi was just like Lu Yuanzhan's own daughter, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead and using a cotton swab dipped in water to moisten his parched lips.
If Lin Yiyi was like Lu Yuanzhan's biological daughter, then Xie Qingqing, this legitimate wife, seemed even more like an outsider. She just sat on the sofa beside them with her own bag, even crossing her legs and watching everything coldly.
This person can really be quite cold and hard to approach. They can even ignore their own husband who they spend every day with.
Li Jiyan and Xie Qingqing have always been at odds. He didn't say much about this behavior either, probably used to it. After entering the ward, he didn't even glance at her, and walked straight to Lu Yuanzhan's bedside.
Gu Ke'yu was led by Lu Jiyan to the bedside of Lu Yuanzhan. She lowered her head to look at Lu Yuanzhan lying on the bed, and she felt that he looked much older than before.
The face was gaunt, with protruding cheekbones and deep-set eyes. Underneath the eyes were heavy dark circles, giving the whole person the appearance of a lifeless, withered branch.
After sighing, Gu Ke Yu turned his head to look at Lu Ji Yan. His brows furrowed even tighter, and his face was clouded with worry.
Looking at Lu Yuanzhan lying on the hospital bed, his health had deteriorated to this point, he was probably going to die any day. Gu Ke'yu couldn't help but worry. What would happen to their family afterward Perhaps Xie Qingqing would be in charge. That restless woman might cause even bigger trouble.
"What's wrong with you Bringing everyone here! You haven't even married into the family yet, and you're just standing here watching like this. It's really getting on my nerves!"
When Gu Ke Yu was deeply engrossed in what she was looking at, a sharp voice suddenly came from behind her. She and Lu Ji Yan both turned around abruptly to see Xie Qing Qing half-lying on the sofa, sneering at them.
For such mockery, Gu Ke'yu couldn't tolerate it. She was about to retort when Lu Jiyan stopped her.
Lu Jiyan stepped forward, his face darkening to the extreme. He narrowed his eyes, revealing a cold light, and stared intently at Xie Qingqing. In a frigid voice, he said: "I'm afraid what's bothering people now is you!"
"You! Well, well, look who it is. You've really gone and flipped the script!"
Xie Qingqing, being the mistress of the house, naturally couldn't tolerate someone provoking her like this. Furthermore, this person was Lu Jiyan, whom she had always considered to be submissive.
She was so angry that she slammed her fist on the table beside her, then stood up abruptly and glared menacingly at Gu Ke Yu and the others.
Lu Jiayan didn't want to waste any more time talking to Xie Qingqing. He simply turned his head and blocked Gu Ke's arm, saying softly, "Just pretend you didn't see anything. She's not important anyway, remember that"
After hearing his words, Gu Ke Yu felt that she wasn't as angry anymore.
"Don't worry, I absolutely won't let myself get angry." Gu Ke'yu smiled and nodded to Lu Jiyan, then turned his head and gave Xie Qingqing a mocking look.
Her actions were very clear; she was mocking Xie Qingqing for being completely tactless, arguing loudly in the hospital ward regardless of the patient's safety.
Obviously, Xie Qingqing also understood Gu Ke's meaning in that look. Her face became even worse, and her vicious eyes seemed about to spit fire.
"Hmph! You, a country bumpkin, dare to look at me like that Let me tell you, don't think you're anything special now! This good life won't last forever. Do you really think you can marry into our Lu family It's just a fool's dream!"
Before Gu Ke Yu could retort, she felt Lu Ji Yan grip her hand tighter. He turned his head and coldly said to Xie Qing Qing: "Shut up! My business is none of your concern!"
"Lu Jiayan! Well, you've really turned upside down today! You don't even respect me, your elder I tell you, your father isn't dead yet, and you dare treat me like this. Sure enough, you're just like that bitch in the blood!"
Xie Qingqing was angered by Lu Jiayan's words. She stood up and slammed her fist on the table, causing everyone in the ward to hold their breath. Even people outside the door leaned in to see what was happening.
Xie Qingqing's words were truly hurtful. Even Gu Ke'yu couldn't help but worry a little for Lu Jiayan. She turned her head to look at Lu Jiayan, and sure enough, his face was ashen, with veins throbbing on his forehead. His facial features were even more tense than before.
"Elders You, with your kind, actually want to be my elder Let me tell you, you'll never have the qualifications to mention my mother in your life!"
After Lu Jiyan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Xie Qingqing. His eyes were almost like they wanted to kill her.
Such a terrifying gaze indeed intimidated Xie Qingqing. She dared not speak again, only keeping a straight face and letting out a snort from her nose. Then she immediately sat back on the sofa.
She acted as if she were deliberately throwing things to vent her anger. She slammed cups and tissue boxes, making the entire ward tremble with noise.
Gu Ke Yu stood on the spot, watching Xie Qing Qing's posture, the guess in his heart became even more certain. It must be Xie Qing Qing who secretly tampered with the rigging, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen from such a high place.e was also caught off guard by this crazy bidding, a little dazed, and it took him a while to come back to his senses before he suddenly turned his head.Then, he blurted out in haste."Ms. Zhuoyunxin h...
