CHAPTER 102: CHAPTER 102: ON THE BOSS’S ORDERS, ESCORTING MISS GU TO THE HOSPITAL

Gu Jiayin and Lu Xiya went shopping, but in fact, they didn’t buy anything, it was purely to pass the time.

She had an important mission and didn’t dare delay for a moment in finding the Blood Tears Jade, so she wasn’t in the mood for shopping or playing around; she did all this just to confuse Qin Zhennan’s spy.

She wanted to make him think she was satisfied with being a wine taster, with no other thoughts.

This past month, Qin Zhennan’s spy had been constantly around her, causing many obstacles to her plan.

Lu Xiya, on the other hand, was very interested.

In the past, Gu Yachen, Pei Nianchen, she, and Gu Jiayin were like a small group, inseparable, but suddenly one day, she was the only one left, and she felt very lonely these past few years.

Now that Gu Jiayin was back, she felt that her previously dull life was illuminated again. Holding Gu Jiayin’s hand, she visited all the places they used to like to shop at in their youth.

When they came out of the mall, Gu Jiayin’s hands were empty, but she was carrying seven or eight bags, large and small.

Gu Jiayin laughed and helped her share the load, "Now that you have no debts weighing you down, you’re being so extravagant again, shouldn’t you be saving for a dowry?"

Speaking of the dowry, Lu Xiya sighed, gazing at the clouds in the blue sky, and regrettably lamented, "You say that I can like Brother Nianchen, but I feel I am no longer a match for him, his mother surely wouldn’t think much of me."

In the past, because she and Gu Jiayin were so close it was like they were one person, Zuo Qianhua couldn’t stand Gu Jiayin and, by extension, couldn’t stand her either, but considering the reputation among families, nothing excessive was done.

But now, with the fall of the Lu Family, how could Zuo Qianhua possibly regard her favorably?

Gu Jiayin naturally agreed with this reasoning, so she didn’t say much. She still didn’t know how they would face each other once Pei Nianchen came back.

At this time, Mo Jun parked the car in front of the mall and got out.

He looked at Gu Jiayin with a respectful smile, "Miss Gu, Young Master Chi asked me to take you to see a doctor."

Sheng Qianchi instructed him to bring a doctor to see Gu Jiayin, but he changed his mind; he wanted to take Gu Jiayin to the hospital because he could tell how much his Young Master Chi wanted to see her.

Seeing Gu Jiayin somewhat puzzled, Mo Jun continued, "Young Master Chi said he lost control last night and injured Miss Gu."

Only then did Gu Jiayin recall the injury on her forehead. She smiled faintly, "No need, I’ve already treated it; please thank your Young Master Chi for me."

This demeanor was indifferent like a lake on an autumn night, neither bone-chillingly cold nor warm-hearted, just cold and indifferent.

Hearing that Sheng Qianchi had gotten into a car accident and was injured, her first feeling was one of irony; falling into the sea at midnight with Qin Yishu, perhaps they lost their self-control amidst their passion?

The vivid image of the spring night on the beach was still etched in her mind.

If Qin Yishu weren’t around, Sheng Qianchi confining her based on his preferences wouldn’t have made her so resentful, but she hated that he was in love with Qin Yishu while still imprisoning her.

The entanglement with Qin Yishu’s man made her feel disgusted.

But Mo Jun didn’t understand; he only felt deep helplessness.

Why couldn’t Young Master Chi move Miss Gu despite doing so much?

Gu Jiayin tugged Lu Xiya’s arm, intending to leave, but Mo Jun hurriedly blocked their path, "Miss Gu, please consider my job responsibilities; Young Master Chi is very worried about your injury and ordered me to ensure you see a doctor. If I can’t complete my job..."

He looked seemingly pitiful and smiled slightly, "Young Master Chi is very strict with his subordinates."

Gu Jiayin chuckled and raised her lips, "What does that have to do with me?"

Mo Jun, "..."

Knowing full well how cold-hearted this woman was, why employ the sympathetic card?

"Miss Gu."

Just when Mo Jun was in a bind, a black luxury car suddenly stopped, and Xia Mubai, with a roguish air, got out, a half-burned cigarette in his mouth.

He approached Gu Jiayin and spoke half-respectfully and half-recklessly, "Miss Gu, under my boss’s orders, I am to take you to the hospital. You know I’m a rough person; if I can’t invite you, I may have to use force."

Gu Jiayin glanced behind Xia Mubai, where a dozen bodyguards in black stood at attention, and she smirked sarcastically without saying a word.

Was this not indicating that Sheng Qianchi wanted to see her?

Beside her, Lu Xiya widened her eyes in shock and anger; how could she not recognize Xia Mubai? Seven years ago, this henchman often harassed her along with Chi Ye.

So she abruptly turned cold, "Xia Mubai, have you become Sheng Qianchi’s lackey now?"

Xia Mubai, "..."

Back when Miss Lu was a wealthy young lady, she was already disdainful and harsh toward him; now having fallen into commoner status, she was still so insolent.

But he could only endure it because she was the woman his boss had his eyes on.

Xia Mubai awkwardly smiled without offering any retort, "Miss Lu, there’s no need to speak so harshly; I’m just doing my boss’s work, and since the police haven’t come after me, that means I’m not breaking any laws."

He added ingratiatingly, "Besides, we just want to invite Miss Gu to the hospital to check her injury; Young Master Chi said he was disoriented last night and fears he might have hurt Miss Gu unintentionally."

He certainly couldn’t admit that Chi Ye ordered him to take Gu Jiayin away.

Hearing this, Lu Xiya looked at Gu Jiayin with concern, "Jiayin, are you really okay? Maybe you should go to the hospital, I’ll go with you."

Gu Jiayin also felt it was unnecessary to start a conflict over this matter, so of course she went since Sheng Qianchi wanted to see her; she couldn’t evade the contract with him for another month anyway.

Thus, Mo Jun respectfully opened the car door for her, and she quietly got in, with Lu Xiya following suit.

...

At the hospital, Mo Jun immediately found the best doctor to examine Gu Jiayin’s injury—it was just a superficial wound, nothing serious.

After the examination, Gu Jiayin took the initiative to speak, "Assistant Mo, may I see your Young Master Chi?"

Since she would end up being taken there anyway, why not choose a more relaxed way to do it.

Mo Jun was overjoyed, "Of course, I’ll lead the way for you."

However, he was a bit hesitant because Chi Ye was still in the ward, "Miss Lu, how about I send someone to take you home?"

Lu Xiya also felt she had no reason to continue following, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

When Gu Jiayin pushed open the ward door, she happened to see a very eye-catching scene: Chi Ye was holding a bowl of porridge, feeding Sheng Qianchi one spoonful at a time.

She couldn’t help but pause her steps.

The scene was indescribable, tantalizing, and suggestive.

Even though they were both men, just because the two men were so handsome, one with fierce restraint and authority, the other with charming gentleness, it immediately brought to mind one word: Brokeback.

Mo Jun was also momentarily stunned; the scene was more bashful than an intimate couple.

Seeing Gu Jiayin, Sheng Qianchi was first stunned, then a bit of joy overflowed at the corner of his eyes.

She had come to see him.

However, a murky and ambiguous phrase emerged from her lips, "Am I interrupting something?"
