Chapter 43: Chapter 43: What is He Thinking

    Zha Zhuoxin communicated with the legal department briefly. When he just put down the phone, he saw the president come out from inside again. He was stunned: "President, you’re not going in?"

    Gu Yikun glanced at him coldly. Zha Zhuoxin shrank back, knowing he asked an inappropriate question.

    Gu Yikun walked toward the car, "Go check that woman’s information, I need it immediately."

    "Understood!"

    An Junxi had no idea what was happening at the door. She sat on the bed flipping through a magazine. Around noon, two nurses came in to administer medication. They glanced at An Junxi from time to time, unable to resist whispering, "Ruined someone else’s family, and still has the heart to read?"

    "It shouldn’t be true. Wasn’t that woman taken to the police station?"

    "Why wouldn’t it be true? Otherwise, the president wouldn’t have come and then left without even entering the ward."

    An Junxi stopped turning the pages and looked at them, "I’m not deaf."

    The two nurses fell silent.

    An Junxi asked, "What are you talking about? Did Mr. Gu come this morning?"

    The two nurses treated her like air, hung up the new IV bag, and left.

    An Junxi felt like her punch landed on cotton.

    Finally, when Lv Jing came to deliver lunch, she asked Lv Jing, "Did something happen at the hospital this morning?"

    Maybe she saw it wrong, but Lv Jing’s expression was strange today. Though her face still had a smile, there was a hint of mockery in it, "Miss An, I didn’t expect you to do such things!"

    An Junxi was confused, "What did I do?"

    Lv Jing felt an inexplicable satisfaction. Even if she lost a chance to see Mr. Gu, she was quite happy. "This morning, a woman brought journalists to the hospital, causing a scene. She called you a home-wrecker, said you seduced her husband and tried to climb into President Gu’s bed. Everyone heard it."

    An Junxi’s magazine fell to the floor. She didn’t need to guess to know that woman was undoubtedly He Mengya!

    Lv Jing saw An Junxi’s reaction, and her pleasure increased. She continued, "Originally, Mr. Gu wanted to visit you. After hearing those words, he didn’t even enter the door and left."

    An Junxi felt a blockage in her heart.

    So, he believed He Mengya’s words and didn’t even bother to come and see her?

    He Mengya’s words, are they worth believing? Did he need to come and leave without entering?

    She didn’t know why she felt so upset, but her heart was blocked and uncomfortable.

    If he hadn’t come to visit her, she wouldn’t feel anything. But he came to the door, heard those rumors, and left... Gu Yikun, what exactly are you thinking?

    An Junxi didn’t want to see Lv Jing’s gloating expression anymore. She tried to stay calm, "I’m going to eat now. You go ahead and be busy."

    "Miss An still has an appetite, that’s really good." Lv Jing said arrogantly, turned her head, twisted her slender waist, and walked out of the ward.

    An Junxi now believed Gu Jinxiu’s words. This woman was not a kind one.

    She used to think Lv Jing was okay, but it turns out she wasn’t as perceptive as Gu Jinxiu.

    An Junxi scooped a spoonful of rice. She now only had one hand that could move, so she ate simple dishes.

    After a few bites, she couldn’t eat anymore. Her mind kept picturing Gu Yikun leaving the hospital. An Junxi put down the spoon, reached for her phone under the pillow.

    She pulled out Gu Yikun’s phone number from her contacts. As she was about to dial, she stopped. Why was she calling him? To ask why he didn’t come to visit her? To ask if he believed He Mengya’s words and thought she was a home-wrecker trying to climb into his bed? What right did she have to ask?

    Thinking that Gu Yikun might actually see her that way, An Junxi suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

    She didn’t have the rationality to clear her mind about why she was acting abnormally, she just knew she felt extremely unhappy.

    In the end, she didn’t dial the number, and put the phone away.

    The nurse aunt came in to help her with rehabilitation therapy. Seeing most of the meal untouched, she turned to leave, "Miss An, eat slowly, I’ll come back later."

    An Junxi stopped her, "Auntie, please help me take the leftovers to the canteen and throw them away, so no one sees."

    The aunt immediately understood, "Did you hear some gossip? Don’t mind other people’s gossip, the most important thing is your health. You can’t skip meals."

    An Junxi’s nose tingled. Out of so many people, only the aunt understood her.

    She took a deep breath, "I really can’t eat anymore. Auntie, help me this once. Don’t let anyone see."

    "Alright, but eat more fruit later. Only just this once, you must eat on time tomorrow."

    "Thank you, Auntie, I will."

    The aunt dumped the food into a bag, covered it with the hospital gown, and took the bag out of the ward.

    When Lv Jing came in, she specifically glanced at An Junxi’s lunchbox, which was emptied clean.

    She was surprised at An Junxi’s good appetite.

    Was she heartless, or did she really not care about it at all?

    For the next few days, An Junxi’s mood was not good. She learned the whole truth from her senior. She didn’t expect her senior had been silently taking care of her. She felt stupid for not realizing it all this time.

    No wonder she could rent such a cheap apartment. It wasn’t good luck, just someone arranging coincidences behind the scenes.

    As for her senior, she didn’t know what her feelings were now. The only certainty was that there was no love anymore. Even if there was, it was only a sympathy for his difficult marriage.

    She didn’t think of thanking him face to face. What’s past is past.

    Gong Xiaoyu told her, Gu Family’s lawyer didn’t back down. They were reasonable and factual. He Mengya was sentenced to one and a half months of detention, leaving her with a record. Her life is marked.

    Gong Tianfan had no objection to this result. Originally, Mrs. Gong wanted to get a lawyer to bail He Mengya out, at least change the criminal charge to civil. Father Gong stopped her.

    "This lunatic won’t learn from her mistakes without some punishment. Let her stay in there for a few days."

    Father Gong and Mrs. Gong stopped intervening.

    An Junxi believed prison wouldn’t help He Mengya at all. She should see a psychiatrist.

    Now she couldn’t stay in the apartment anymore. After being discharged, she needed to find a new place to live.

    An Junxi spent her free time browsing rental information on her tablet. She couldn’t find anything suitable. The good ones were too expensive, and the suburb ones were too inconvenient, commuting would take more than three hours. Considering her work schedule, she feared she might work herself to death, which would be quite short-lived.
