CHAPTER 329: CHAPTER 205: WIFE

Zhuo Yufeng had a piece of steak, chewing it several times before saying, "You mean there’s a conflict involving money and power between Gu Yucheng and Gu Qingchen, and it’s possible that Gu Yucheng framed Gu Qingchen and his cousin Song Chenxi for having a child!"

"Of course, the conflict between men is either for money and power, or for women and love," Bei Ran firmly believed in this, "As you can see, Ji Su and Gu Yucheng are very affectionate towards each other; they must have had disputes over the Gu Group previously."

Zhuo Yufeng continued to eat his steak and took a sip of red wine, before speaking, "If Gu Yucheng and Song Chenxi were together, then Gu Yucheng is also Song Chenxi’s biological cousin. Given the good relationship between Gu Yucheng and Ji Su, would he personally get involved with another woman? That doesn’t add up!"

"Right!" Bei Ran agreed, "Gu Yucheng had me organize their sixth anniversary wedding celebration. You could tell that he cares a lot about Mrs. Gu and also loves her deeply. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be that kind of person..."

As the two discussed the matter, Gu Yucheng returned and approached Zhuo Yufeng and Bei Ran’s table, "Mr. Zhuo, Miss Bei..."

"Mr. Gu, hello!" Zhuo Yufeng nodded indifferently.

Bei Ran also greeted him, "Mr. Gu..."

Gu Yucheng spoke with the ruthless professionalism customary in business, "You two should not waste your time on me. As you can see, I love my wife and daughter very much. I do not want to hear any negative gossip about these matters. Mr. Zhuo is an elite in the police force, and Miss Bei, you had planned our sixth anniversary wedding celebration. I won’t mind this time, but if I hear anything about it again, I won’t be so polite."

After Gu Yucheng finished speaking, he didn’t look at Zhuo Yufeng and Bei Ran but turned away indifferently and strode outside.

Bei Ran stood up at this point and followed up, "Mr. Gu, you once said we met six years ago. Where was it?"

"You just reminded me, at that time, you were Tang Baijin’s girlfriend!" Gu Yucheng said coldly before leaving.

Bei Ran sat back down, picked up her wine glass, and gently swirled it, watching the red wine slide slowly down the glass wall. The red liquid had the most exquisite flavor.

Zhuo Yufeng watched her, "What are you thinking about? If Gu Yucheng can’t see what’s on your mind, how can he be the president of the Gu Group, commanding a company with thousands of employees?"

"You’re right!" Bei Ran raised her glass, "Here’s to us!"

Hospital.

When Duan Feixun was brought in by Zheng Tong and others, Yang Junyi came to receive the case. After asking about the situation, he said to Zheng Tong and Tian Xin, "Please wait outside for a while, I’ll go and treat the wound."

"Okay..." Zheng Tong nodded, looking a bit anxious.

Tian Xin helped Zheng Tong sit down, and nodded to Yang Junyi.

Yang Junyi gave her a slight smile before going to treat Duan Feixun’s wound.

Yang Junyi asked the nurse to cut off the cloth wrapped around Duan Feixun’s hand. As he cleaned the wound, he remarked, "Luckily, it didn’t reach the bone, but it’s still a deep stab..."

Duan Feixun was sweating from pain, yet didn’t say a word.

Yang Junyi looked at him, "Cry out if it hurts! No one here will blame you!"

"I won’t!" Duan Feixun endured the pain.

"Aren’t you always howling in front of Doctor Zheng?" Yang Junyi teased him for a change.

Duan Feixun glared at him, "What do you know, that’s the fun of it! You, if you don’t have any fun and act like a dummy in the hospital, be careful that Tian Xin might not fancy you anymore!"

Yang Junyi cleaned his wound and began to stitch it up, "Tian Xin likes me for who I am, and I like her for who she truly is. That’s the essence of life."

"The essence of life? The day Tian Xin isn’t your wife, you’ll be howling!" Duan Feixun snorted.

Yang Junyi didn’t look at him as he stitched up one hand and then the other, "Everyone has a different lifestyle, and likes different things. Just like Doctor Zheng likes luxury goods, Lawyer Duan likes to handle divorce cases, I like being a doctor, and Tian Xin likes doing stock and securities trading..."

"You’re right about that, now tell me, how to get the best deals on luxury goods?" Duan Feixun never used luxury goods, so he asked Yang Junyi.

"As you know, I’m a doctor, not interested in luxury goods!" Yang Junyi finished the last stitch, "Besides, Lawyer Duan, you’re not short on cash, you should be generous with your wife!"

Duan Feixun: "..."

When Yang Junyi and the nurse brought Duan Feixun out, Zheng Tong and Tian Xin approached, and Song Ziyu had already parked the car and was waiting for news.

"Because Lawyer Duan’s wound is a bit deep, it’s recommended he stays in the hospital for observation for three days. If the wound heals well, he can be discharged," Yang Junyi said.

Zheng Tong nodded, "I’ll go handle the hospitalization procedures."

After taking a few steps, Zheng Tong also spoke to Song Ziyu, "You should go back and rest! It’s okay now, as for Tian Xin..."

They both looked over, and Tian Xin was talking with Yang Junyi!

"I understand!" Song Ziyu nodded his head, "Sister Tong, I’ll take my leave. Call me if you need anything!"

Just as they were about to leave, Gu Qingchen came out from another operating room. As soon as he saw them all here, and Duan Feixun injured, he immediately strode over: "What happened?"

"Cousin, cousin-in-law was attacked, and it was Duan Feixun who took the knife for her," Song Ziyu immediately came over and said, "But cousin-in-law is unharmed, you don’t have to worry."

Gu Qingchen frowned: "Where is she?"

"She’s with Zhuo sir!" Song Ziyu said, "However, cousin-in-law mentioned she would come to the hospital later."

Gu Qingchen nodded, then asked Yang Junyi, "How serious are his injuries?"

"Quite deep. The knife was very sharp. I’ve already bandaged and treated the wound. Now he’s under observation in the hospital," Yang Junyi said, "I’m going to grab a meal with Tian Xin, want to join us?"

"No need!" Gu Qingchen said, "You guys go ahead!"

Tian Xin and Yang Junyi went to eat together. Yang Junyi changed out of his surgical gown, then walked out hand in hand with her.

Tian Xin noticed that he was holding her hand particularly tightly today. She looked at him, and Yang Junyi said softly, "I’m worried about you getting hurt."

"I’m fine." Tian Xin’s heart warmed. He was always like this; even at night, just a single word could warm your heart, as if bathing in sunlight.

The light shone on the two of them.

Their shadows overlapped under the light.

Yang Junyi pulled her into his arms, having found out that there was an assassination attempt on her at the club. Luckily Duan Feixun was there; otherwise, they might all have been injured. He felt heartache.

Tian Xin reached out to hug his waist, her warm breath piercing the cool autumn night with heartwarming tenderness.

Song Ziyu said goodbye to Gu Qingchen, "Cousin, I’m leaving, aren’t you going to walk me out?"

Gu Qingchen glanced at her, "No!"

"Alright then!" Song Ziyu said, "I’ll tell you something. I found out that Zhuo sir is so manly and masculine. Cousin-in-law is very charming; and now she’s your ex-cousin-in-law! Cousin, don’t you feel a sense of crisis?"

It was his fault for hiding the fact that he and Bei Ran were married, making her play matchmaker like a fool!

Song Ziyu sure wanted to vent about that!

Gu Qingchen, of course, was not someone to be trifled with. He indifferently said, "Whether I feel a sense of crisis is none of your concern. However, how long has Su Tianqing not been home?"

As soon as Su Tianqing was mentioned, Song Ziyu huffed, "He doesn’t come back, and I live happier!"

After speaking, she left!

Gu Qingchen watched Song Ziyu leave, yet he still hadn’t seen Bei Ran’s figure.

Zheng Tong had already completed the hospital admission procedures and returned to see Gu Qingchen still there, "You haven’t gotten off work yet?"

"Almost!" Gu Qingchen said.

"I’ll go inside first." Zheng Tong went inside the hospital ward.

Duan Feixun was lying in the bed, both hands wrapped in a layer of white gauze. As soon as he saw Zheng Tong come in, he immediately said, "Wife..."

Zheng Tong walked to his side, seeing his head sweating profusely. The saying goes that "every finger is connected to the heart"—how could it not hurt?

"Thank you for today!" Zheng Tong looked at him and said softly.

However, Duan Feixun just grinned and said, "Wife, what outsider’s talk is this! You’re my wife, and Bei Ran is Gu Qingchen’s treasured darling; how could I let you get hurt! I’m a man, protecting women is a natural duty."

Zheng Tong took a towel to wipe his sweat. Though the words were especially cliché, they had a taste that felt quite different when heard.

"Wife, my whole body is sweaty too, it feels wet and itchy, very uncomfortable..." Duan Feixun took the opportunity to make a request.

Zheng Tong’s face turned red, and she scolded in a soft voice, "Duan Feixun, don’t take an inch too far!"

Duan Feixun could only say, "Alright then! I’ll just bear with it. I’ll wait until my palms are healed to wash..."

"We have professional nurses!" Zheng Tong said irritably.

"I don’t want them!" Duan Feixun was adamantly loyal, insisting, "I only want my wife to take care of my body..."
