Chapter 492 The Person Who Willingly Let Him Fall
Chapter 492 The Person Who Willingly Let Him Fall
Xiao Wu was startled, but quickly calmed down. He and President Gu hadn't said anything, so they shouldn't have been discovered.
"Xiao Wu, do you know President Gu?" Xiao Li asked doubtfully.
"I definitely know President Gu, but I don't know President Gu personally. Who doesn't know the famous President Gu?" Xiao Wu replied calmly.
Xiao Li nodded, "That's true. I thought you two knew each other when I saw you greeting President Gu."
"I would like to get to know President Gu, but who is he? How could I dare to dream of getting to know him? I'd better get back to work and try to earn more bonus this month. That's more realistic."
As Xiao Wu walked past Xiao Li, he talked and laughed.
Xiao Li smiled in response, and they encouraged each other to get back to work without giving it any more thought.
She hadn't thought much about it at first; she just felt a little confused and curious for a moment.
Gu Yihe had just returned to his car when he received a message from Feng Jiejie. He was initially quite happy that Feng Jiejie had taken the initiative to contact him, but after reading the message, he sighed helplessly, and even let out a sigh. The driver was a little puzzled when he heard this, but did not dare to ask any further questions.
He had been Mr. Gu's driver for so many years, and this was the first time he had ever seen Mr. Gu sigh like this, even though he had been in a good mood when he arrived.
Could it be that Mr. Feng's pursuit of this star is not going smoothly?
Feng Jiejie's message to Gu Yihe was very simple; it was a warning to Gu Yihe not to tell Nanxing about their conversation, lest Nanxing worry about her.
Gu Yihe flicked his fingers and replied to Feng Jiejie.
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
Feng Jiejie didn't reply to any more messages, and Gu Yihe smiled helplessly.
He never imagined that one day he would meet someone he would willingly fall for.
He was fiddling with his phone when Nanxing's message came in.
The content was very simple: Feng Jiejie had told him in the office that Nanxing was going to pick medicinal herbs himself.
Since Gu Yihe had promised Feng Jiejie that he wouldn't let Nanxing agree, he naturally wouldn't reveal the truth. He even pretended to be puzzled and asked a few questions before agreeing. He also said that he would find someone and a car, and that Nanxing just needed to get ready to go to the place the next morning.
Nanxing's reply was quick and concise, consisting of just an OK hand gesture emoji.
Gu Yihe looked down at the chat box, his mind also on something else.
He hadn't originally planned to rush things, but Feng Jiejie's proud expression for the Yun brothers made him a little anxious.
He was afraid that if he didn't do something, Feng Jiejie would really start talking to the Yun brothers directly, since Nanxing was now the youngest daughter of the Yun family.
Given how much Feng Jiejie cares about Nanxing, he has no doubt that Feng Jiejie would be willing to marry into the Yun family even for Nanxing's sake.
[Yesterday, your older brother mentioned wanting Feng Jiejie to be your parents' goddaughter. Did you mention it to her?]
After sending the message, Gu Yihe's expression was inscrutable. He knew he had been too hasty this time, but he had no other choice. He was afraid he would be too late if he didn't hurry.
As long as Feng Jiejie becomes the Yun family's goddaughter, even if she isn't their biological daughter, he has plenty of ways to ensure that Feng Jiejie can only be the Yun family's daughter and can never be their daughter-in-law.
Even if the methods used are somewhat despicable, so what? In love, who can guarantee that they are completely upright?
Nan Xing saw Gu Yihe's message as he came out of the police station.
After leaving Xingchen, she contacted Director Lin and took the opportunity to give Director Lin's mother another medical check-up and change her prescription.
I hadn't been able to find the time before, but now that I do, I thought I'd come and take a look.
She returned to her car and replied to Gu Yihe's message with a frown.
[What does this have to do with you?]
[It really doesn't have much to do with me, but you know how I feel about Feng Jiejie. I'm just a little worried about her. If she had openly become a daughter of the Yun family, what happened last night wouldn't have happened so easily.]
Gu Yihe was telling the truth, but beneath those truths lay hidden thoughts that only he himself knew.
Nanxing indeed did not doubt Gu Yihe's information.
[This is our business; there's no need for Mr. Gu to worry about it.]
After replying to the message, Nanxing drove directly to the clinic to check on the renovation progress and ignored Gu Yihe.
Regarding the current relationship between Gu Yihe and Feng Jiejie, she could only follow Feng Jiejie's advice and let things develop peacefully.
Gu Yihe didn't show much emotion when he saw Nanxing's message; instead, he was pondering a question.
He roughly knew when the Yun family planned to simultaneously recognize Feng Jiejie as their goddaughter—the day Nanxing's identity was announced.
Unless Nanxing's identity becomes absolutely impossible to hide, given the current relationship between Nanxing and Fu Yunchuan, and with Lu Mingzhu standing in the middle, she probably won't take the initiative to admit it for the time being.
As long as the Yun family and Nanxing don't take the initiative to admit it, there's no way to talk about this.
He wasn't in a hurry at first, and he could understand what Nanxing and the Yun family had done, but now it was different; he felt he had to do something.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he made up his mind.
The clinic was renovated quickly and without any problems. Nanxing even ran into Amy.
“Didn’t I tell you to focus on staying at the hospital with your mother? Your older brother has arranged for people here, so you don’t need to come to see her so often.” Nanxing looked at Amy, who had lost a lot of weight, and her voice was full of worry.
"I'm fine. She's taking a nap right now, so there's no use me being at the hospital."
Amy smiled at Nanxing, but his smile was full of exhaustion, and Nanxing felt a pang of sadness.
"Have you had lunch?" She didn't ask about the hospital, but instead asked Amy if she had eaten lunch.
Amy shook her head and said, "Not yet. I'm not very hungry, so I don't want to eat. Lin Ke said he'll bring food to the hospital tonight."
Nanxing sighed: "So you're just going to wait until evening to eat? Won't you ruin your stomach by starving?"
"I haven't had much of an appetite lately, and I don't want to eat alone. I can eat more when he's with me," Amy said, scratching her head sheepishly.
Recently, he has dared to openly admit his dependence on Lin Ke in front of familiar people and friends who know about their relationship.
Nanxing looked at him helplessly, knowing that he didn't want to eat because he was in a bad mood, which was also why she had been asking Lin Ke to spend more time with Amy lately.
"You can't skip lunch, can you? I haven't eaten either. Why don't you come with me to get something to eat? I know a really good private restaurant."
Amy glanced at the time and nodded.
"Okay, let's go grab something to eat together, I'm hungry too."
He knew that Nanxing wanted him to eat more, and he didn't want to disappoint Nanxing, nor did he want those who cared about him to worry about him.
During this time, he often recalled that dark period of his childhood. Even his mother would sometimes be lucid, sometimes apologizing to him, and sometimes, when she was confused, she would verbally abuse him, saying he was useless.
He thought he had long since become numb, but he still found those disgusting words laughable.
He laughed at himself for being upset over the fact that his so-called parents were completely unfit to be parents.
He Feng even went to the hospital that day, which further drove the woman to the brink of madness, and her condition worsened considerably the next day.
And He Feng was still pretending to be all brotherly with him, which was really disgusting and unlucky.
Upon arriving at the vegetarian restaurant, the manager immediately recognized Nanxing, as he remembered her from the last time she came with Madam Fu.
Although there were many people at the time, the manager still led her to a private room reserved for VIP guests who would arrive unexpectedly.
Although Amy was in a bad mood lately, after chatting with Nanxing, he seemed to think it wasn't a big deal.
Anyway, he managed to send that woman away peacefully, which could be considered as him fulfilling his so-called filial duty as a son.
He has a long life ahead of him, with good friends and a lover.
After figuring things out, Amy's appetite improved. At first, Nanxing thought Amy was eating like this on purpose so that she wouldn't worry.
"If you really don't want to eat, just eat a little something to fill your stomach. Your senior brother will bring you food tonight. You don't have to force yourself to eat. Seeing you like this makes me feel even worse."
Nanxing said as she served Amy a bowl of mushroom soup.
Amy was taken aback, looked up at her, smiled, and said,
"No, I really want to eat. I just figured some things out and that's why I'm a little hungry. If I didn't want to eat, do you think I could be eating so heartily?"
As he spoke, he put another mouthful of baby bok choy in broth into his mouth.
Seeing that Amy didn't seem to be forcing herself, Nanxing felt relieved and ate slowly with her.
Half an hour later, Amy put down her chopsticks and slowly scooped up some soup with a spoon to drink. Nanxing did the same.
"I haven't had such a satisfying meal in days, Nanxing, thanks."
Nanxing rolled her eyes at him and said, "What kind of relationship do we have? Isn't saying thank you too polite? Besides, I'm the one who brought you back to China this time. How can I be at ease if you're unhappy or something happens to you?"
"Besides, putting that aside, do we really need to be this polite to each other?"
Amy smiled from the bottom of her heart.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Can I be lenient with myself?"
"How are the kids these past few days? I haven't had time to look for them. I wonder if they're upset with me. I wonder if they've forgotten about me after not seeing them or playing with them for so many days?"
"Don't worry, how could they forget you? They think about you every day. But they know you're busy, so they haven't dared to bother you much. They just asked me to say hello when I see you and tell you to take care of yourself."
"Really? I really miss them. I'll go see them as soon as I'm done with these next couple of days. I can't let them forget me."
Nanxing looked at him and still asked that question.
"Amy, are you sure you don't need me to go and take a look? Or your senior brother could take a look too."
She knew what Amy was thinking, but as a friend, she had to ask one last time. This would make everyone feel better, and she was also worried that Amy might regret it later.
Amy's smile faltered for a moment, then she shook her head firmly and said with relief, "No need. I've thought it through very clearly and I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about me."
"Okay, since that's the case, I won't ask anymore. Like I said, no matter what you do, we understand you and support you."
"it is good."
As the two left the private room and reached the stairwell, Amy accidentally bumped into the manager who was walking out from around the corner.
"Excuse me, are you alright?" Amy asked the manager.
The manager had even less to say when he saw that it was Nanxing and Amy. After all, the guests who came to eat here were all gods, let alone those who could enter the private room, especially since the female guest in front of him was someone that Mrs. Fu had personally brought over last time.
"It's alright, it's alright. I was in such a hurry to deliver the goods that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Are you two alright?" the manager said with a smile.
"We're fine."
"Well then, please wait a moment. I'll take this lunchbox to Miss Lu and then personally pack a dessert for you as an apology. I accidentally bumped into you two earlier."
The manager clearly saw how much Mrs. Fu cared about this young lady last time, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity to build a good relationship or become familiar with her.
However, Nanxing and Amy's attention was focused directly on the phrase "Miss Lu".
Amy glanced at Nanxing before asking the manager.
"Manager, is the Miss Lu you just mentioned the CEO of the Lu family? The one with millions of followers online?"
"Oh yes, yes, it's her. Who else could it be but Miss Lu?"
The manager answered as he walked downstairs, with Amy and Nanxing following beside him.
"Well, she just called in a hurry to order some food and go to the Fu Group to see President Fu. I was just worried about taking up their time, that's why I was a little anxious. He's President Fu, how could I dare to delay him?"
The manager didn't think anything was wrong when he first spoke, but after he finished, he suddenly looked at Nanxing's reaction.
This person has such a good relationship with Madam Fu, could there be something going on? Were there any problems with what he just said?
Nanxing's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unconcerned about what the manager had said, which finally put the manager at ease.
"I see. Then you should go and deliver the food to her. We'll be going now. We don't need any apology snacks, since we weren't injured or anything."
Amy maintained a smile throughout, and the manager chuckled upon hearing this, no longer dwelling on it.
"Alright, then I'll definitely bring you some snacks myself next time you come. Please take care, I'll go deliver the food now."
The manager smiled and nodded to the two of them before quickly heading downstairs, clearly in a hurry.
Amy's smile vanished instantly after the manager left, and she subconsciously looked at Nanxing's reaction.
"Why are you looking at me?" Nanxing asked Amy without changing his expression. "I haven't said a word just now. You're the one asking the question."
Amy paused for a moment, then smiled as well.
"I was being too nosy just now."
"It's not your fault. People will instinctively ask that when they hear someone they know. It's normal."
As the two walked out the door, they saw the manager handing a lunchbox to Lu Mingzhu.
Lu Mingzhu was about to leave with her things when she unexpectedly saw Nanxing.
She paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly and even nodded to Nanxing before getting into the car and leaving. Anyone who didn't know better would think the two had a very good relationship.
