Chapter 57 - Gong Jue Didn’t Have This Kind of “Advanced Emotion”
Gu Qiqi bit her lips and looked up slightly.
Through the small window, she suddenly saw Gong Jue’s thin lips move in the ward.
She moved closer to hear what Gong Jue was saying. Was he awake?
In the end, although she didn’t hear Gong Jue’s words, she heard Bai Lang’s voice. “That little vixen Qiqi… She’s plotting against you for your money…”
Gu Qiqi frowned. She swept a glance at the lazy Bai Lang on the recliner.
His friend?
He was speaking ill of her?
He didn’t seem to have any expression on his face. Could it be that he was admitting to it?
As she was thinking about this, the door opened and Special Assistant Lu walked out. “Qi —”
Gu Qiqi hurriedly took a step back and waved at him.
Special Assistant Lu shut his mouth and made a gesture of zipping up his lips. He smiled and brought her to the end of the long corridor. Then, he dug out a black card and handed it to her. “Master Jue said that you can spend the money in the card as you please.”
Gu Qiqi ignored that card. “He’s awake? Is he okay?”
“Young Master Bai will be here to treat him. Young Lady Qiqi, don’t worry. Take this card. Master Jue also said that he was very sorry for burning tens of thousands of dollars of yours previously.”
Gu Qiqi frowned.
Why did he suddenly give her money to spend?
She didn’t dare to believe Special Assistant Lu’s reason.
This tone didn’t belong to Gong Jue at all.
Sorry?
Would a man with erectile dysfunction have such a high-class emotion as “sorry”?
At most, he would be arrogant and say in a charitable tone, “Woman, I allow you to use this card.”
Or rather, he said coolly, “Woman, you owed me a hundred million dollars as compensation the last time. This time, you used my card. You can forget about repaying it even if you work like an ox or a horse in this lifetime!”
“I don’t want this card.” Gu Qiqi’s eyes were clear without a trace of greed.
“Then, I can only go in and tell Master Jue that you came to visit his illness yourself. Perhaps, you can talk to him face-to-face…”
“No… need. I’ll help him safeguard it first.”
“Yes, that’s for the best. Anyway, he doesn’t have anything to spend money on. His life is very simple. He doesn’t have any messy women…”
“Special Assistant Lu, don’t say that I was here before.”
Gu Qiqi interrupted him, turned around, and left.
Special Assistant Lu scratched his head in embarrassment.
He muttered to himself, “Did something go wrong with my lines? Did Young Lady Qiqi see through me and realize that I’m trying my best to flatter Master Jue? Sigh, Master Jue. Do you know that for the sake of your happiness for the rest of your life, I’ve been worrying so much about you? I’m going to become an old matchmaker soon…”
Gu Qiqi returned to her room.
The clock pointed to 7 AM sharp.
She guessed that the caregiver auntie at the nursing home should be awake by now to work.
She quickly made a call over.
“Auntie Liu, you called me that day because of an urgent matter, right? Is my younger brother well?”
“You call yourself an older sister? You’re too irresponsible!”
“I’m really sorry. There was an emergency that day. My phone…”
“Enough! Cut the crap. Hurry up and prepare the money.”
“What happened to Xiao Bei?!”
Upon hearing that she needed money, Gu Qiqi knew that something was wrong. Had Little Bei’s illness worsened?
Her voice was filled with anxiety.
However, the other party said impatiently, “Your father already owes Gu Xiaobei half a year’s worth of medical fees. It’s a total of 2.8 million dollars. This month, Gu Xiaobei’s eye inflamed and he’s going to undergo an operation to stay in the intensive care unit. He’s going to pay the follow-up fees of 200,000 dollars! You have to transfer 3 million dollars over quickly. Otherwise, wait for your brother’s eyes to rot!”
Gu Qiqi’s heart tightened. Xiao Bei’s eyes became inflamed?
Gu Qiushan owed her money?
That’s right. In her previous life, Gu Qiushan almost didn’t pay for Xiao Bei’s medical fees anymore. He also refused to let Xiao Bei stay in a better sanatorium and threw him into an orphanage. He relied on her to take on private jobs to earn money for his medical fees.
It was a pity that she only realized it when she was about to die that even her hard-earned money hadn’t been used on Xiao Bei.
But in this lifetime, Gu Qiushan became more ruthless and heartless.
