Chapter 25: Sick of Looking

  Lu Qinghuan nodded vigorously, but still couldn't help choking back sobs, her small face red and white with tears, making one feel the depth of her emotions.

  "What about Xiao Qian?" came a voice from outside, strong and slightly panicked.

  She pushed open the door and saw Lu Qinghuan hastily getting up inside.

  Gu Yu was taken aback, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his pale face before he finally managed to compose himself.

  On the sickbed, Xiao Qian saw Gu Yu's tightly pursed face as soon as he entered the door, and his whole person became unhappy.

  What's with this expression? How come she has to go to the hospital and is very unhappy about it?

  Gu Yu took a deep breath, sizing up Xiao Qian, the man lying on the bed, who was now bandaged and wearing a striped hospital gown. The injuries on his face made him look even more rugged.

  But looking at Lu Qinghuan, that face which had just been washed by tears, was truly a sight to behold.

  She has finally arrived at the right time.

  "What's the situation here?" She turned and asked the doctor on the side in a calm tone.

  "Oh, Mrs. Xiao... Over here, Mr. Xiao has a minor fracture in his ribcage, which has been treated. The head injury is external, with no intracranial hemorrhage. There's an abrasion on the leg, which will likely affect mobility over the next couple of days and requires attention. Currently, there are no other issues, but we'll need to observe him for a few more days..."

  Gu Yan looked at Xiao Qian, "Oh, I just came to take a look. I heard you had a car accident and were in the operating room. I'll come over and see if there's anything wrong with you. If you need anything, you can tell me. My family hasn't been told yet. If everything is fine, I'll go tell Grandpa first, so he won't worry."

  Xiao Qian looked at Gu Yan's expression that couldn't wait to leave and immediately got angry almost jumping up.

  "Gu Yan, if you don't want to come, then don't come. What's with this attitude? Who forced you to come here? I'll help you tell them, was it Grandpa who forced you to come? I'll call Grandpa right now. If someone doesn't want to come, they shouldn't come. Coming here and putting on a sour face, it's even more annoying to look at."

  Gu Yu pursed her lips, he was indeed annoyed when she came, it would be fine if she didn't come. Besides, the one who made the phone call was Lu Qinghuan, knowing that there were people here, what was she coming to join in on the commotion for?

  It's her fault.

  "You've seen this old face of mine for six years, it's about time you got tired of it. I'll leave now and won't bother you anymore." With that, Gu Yan raised her foot and walked out.

  Xiao Qian's face turned red with suppressed anger, looking at Gu Yan's proud and upright demeanor, he felt like someone was fanning the flames, wave after wave of heat that couldn't be released, making him feel stifled.

  This is the wife he brought back, look at her, her own husband had a car accident and she came to the hospital, but she seems like she's being bothered by wasting her time.

  "Give me back!" Xiao Qian slammed his hand on the table, momentarily forgetting that he had a fractured rib. His chest hurt and now all his anger was directed at Gu Yei. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Gu Yei! You heartless woman, you're waiting for me to die, aren't you? If you dare take one step out of this sickroom, I'll make sure you pay with your life. For the rest of your life, don't even think about setting foot in the Xiao household again. The 10 million dowry you brought when you married into our family, plus all the wealth you've embezzled from us over the years - not one cent will you be allowed to take away!"
