Chapter 75: Chapter 75 An Junxi’s Temper

    An Junxi poured another glass of water and walked up to Liang Huiyun, saying, "Madam, please take your medicine."

    Liang Huiyun waved her hand to dismiss her.

    An Junxi, being quite strong, took a few pills from the cabinet, pried open Liang Huiyun’s mouth and stuffed the pills in. Liang Huiyun had never been treated this way before; she glared at An Junxi fiercely with wide eyes as warm water was poured into her mouth. An Junxi raised her hand and patted her back, causing her to instinctively swallow the pills with the water.

    She coughed violently a few times. An Junxi calmly held the remaining half glass of water in front of her. She took a few sips and finally caught her breath.

    Sister He was so frightened by the scene that she trembled. My god, she never knew Jun Xi could be so bold!

    Liang Huiyun regained her composure and stood up to hit An Junxi. She always held herself with poise and never hit anyone easily. But An Junxi had infuriated her so much that she forgot all about her manners and just wanted to slap her face, pull her hair, and unleash all the favored tricks of a shrew on her. An Junxi came from the streets and was extremely crude. Talking to her about manners was simply the height of stupidity!

    Unexpectedly, having lain in bed for so long, Liang Huiyun’s sudden movement pulled at her stiff spine, and she seemed to hear a "crack" from her tailbone. She fell back onto the bed in pain.

    Sister He was even more anxious now. She stomped her feet in worry. "Madam, did you pull a bone? What should we do?" She wanted to go over and massage Madam, but Mrs. Gu’s severe gaze stopped her: "Don’t touch me!"

    Sister He dared not approach any further.

    An Junxi frowned. This situation was unexpected; a bone injury could be serious.

    Her mother used to work hard for long periods and often had health issues. An Junxi learned a set of massage techniques from an old Chinese medicine practitioner in the village and would often give her mother massages, which truly helped her health.

    She looked at Mrs. Gu like she was a sulking school kid rejecting any close attention and still said, "Mrs. Gu, don’t be so petty. Your body is your own. If you want to hit me or that woman, you need to get better first. Otherwise, those who dislike you will just secretly gloat. What’s the point of that?"

    Sister He asked, "Jun Xi, what do you mean by ’that woman’?"

    Liang Huiyun finally said, "Sister He, please go out first."

    Sister He stood there, hesitating. Liang Huiyun raised her voice and said, "Go out!"

    Sister He didn’t dare stay longer and quickly ran out.

    In the room, only Liang Huiyun and An Junxi were left. Liang Huiyun lay in bed, looking coldly at An Junxi. "Don’t think that just because you overheard something, you can use it to threaten me."

    "Madam, why would you think it’s a threat? Don’t I have a point?"

    Liang Huiyun snorted coldly, her face looking awful. She moved slightly, and a wave of pain shot through her spine. She closed her eyes in discomfort, having no energy to deal with An Junxi, and ordered her out: "Leave now, we’ll settle this in a few days."

    An Junxi flexed her wrist. "Mrs. Gu, let me offer you a free massage package."

    "Don’t you understand human speech? Get out!"

    "Do you want to turn over by yourself, or should I help you?"

    "..."

    Liang Huiyun was at a loss for words as she looked at An Junxi. Her gaze was very intimidating, but An Junxi didn’t show any fear. The two stared at each other for about three minutes before Liang Huiyun silently turned over.

    An Junxi said nothing. She climbed onto the bed and started giving Mrs. Gu a massage.

    Her massage was methodical and had just the right amount of pressure. The comfortable feeling spread from the spine to the rest of the body. Liang Huiyun’s stiff body gradually relaxed, and her agitated emotions slowly became calmer.

    An Junxi softly said, "Mrs. Gu, don’t think about anything, just have a good sleep."

    Liang Huiyun didn’t respond.

    An Junxi turned her head to look at her expression and saw that she seemed a bit sleepy.

    She continued massaging for a while longer, thinking that Mrs. Gu’s waist probably wouldn’t hurt when she woke up the next day. Then she stopped.

    Mrs. Gu had already fallen asleep.

    An Junxi gently turned her over and covered her with a blanket.

    She looked at the sleeping Liang Huiyun. At this moment, Mrs. Gu no longer appeared overbearing or maintained the deliberate grace of a wealthy family. She just looked like an ordinary elder.

    She murmured to herself, "No matter how rich you are, everyone has their struggles. Mrs. Gu, there are many people who care about you, so why suffer for those who aren’t worth it?"

    She tucked her in snugly, adjusted the lights to the softest setting, and quietly walked out of the room.

    Sister He was waiting outside the whole time. Seeing An Junxi come out, she quickly asked, "How is Madam?"

    "She’s asleep. We’ll take her to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. It shouldn’t be anything serious," An Junxi replied.

    Sister He said, "Jun Xi, how dare you treat Madam like that? Madam won’t spare you tomorrow. Be careful."

    "I’m leaving soon. Mrs. Gu is very busy, so she probably won’t go out of her way to trouble me," An Junxi responded casually.

    "Leave? Where to?"

    Sister He didn’t know that An Junxi was leaving soon. An Junxi didn’t want to elaborate, so she said, "Sister He, leaving aside everyone else, you and Sister Li have been with the Gu Family for decades. You’ve been by Mrs. Gu’s side for so long, how can you let her be so willful? If she says she won’t take medicine, she won’t take it. If she says don’t bother her, you don’t. How can that be okay?"

    Sister He listened as if hearing some intriguing news. "Jun Xi, do you know what kind of person Madam is? Who would dare to disobey her? You’re young and fearless like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger." Madam was already a powerful figure in the business world when you were still in diapers!

    An Junxi responded indifferently, "So what if she’s powerful? Those who truly know her won’t be that afraid of her. Sister He, you don’t really understand your Madam."

    Sister He cried out, "Are you saying you understand her?"

    "I don’t understand her either, but I don’t need to be afraid. Sister He, you should have a stance of your own. People need to vent their emotions. If everyone around Mrs. Gu is like you, her health will only get worse."

    Sister He thought about it and agreed, "But I’m immediately scared whenever she glares at me."

    An Junxi sighed, "Just go back and sleep."

    The two slowly walked away, their voices gradually fading. Liang Huiyun, lying in bed, opened her eyes.

    Her eyes shone briefly in the gentle light before she closed them again and fell into a deep sleep.

    The next morning, An Junxi woke up late. When she went downstairs to have breakfast, she discovered that Mrs. Gu and Gu Jinxiu were already sitting at the dining table.

    Mrs. Gu wasn’t eating anything, just accompanying Gu Jinxiu while he ate.

    She greeted Mrs. Gu with a good morning, but Mrs. Gu remained aloof and didn’t respond, nor did she bring up the events of the previous night. An Junxi secretly observed Mrs. Gu’s complexion and noticed that she looked much better.

    She must have slept well last night?

    Seeing that his grandmother was feeling better, Gu Jinxiu happily left for school. As he was about to leave, he generously gave An Junxi a sweet kiss and said, "Sister Jun Xi, you always know how to coax my grandma into taking her medicine."

    An Junxi ruffled his hair, sent him off to the car, and returned to the hall. She heard Sister He suggest to Mrs. Gu, "Madam, shall we go to the hospital for a check-up later?"

    Liang Huiyun sat on the sofa. "No."

    Sister He looked at An Junxi for help.

    An Junxi walked over and said, "Mrs. Gu, I am very strong. Do you want to walk to the car yourself, or do you want us to carry you out?"

    Liang Huiyun glanced at her, then silently picked up her purse... and headed out to the car.

    An Junxi and Sister He exchanged glances. What is this? Mrs. Gu clearly doesn’t mind going, yet she has to make me play the bad guy?

    Why does it feel like dealing with a child?

    Sister He covered her mouth and whispered to An Junxi, "It seems Madam is a bit afraid of you after last night."

    An Junxi was puzzled, but to prevent Mrs. Gu from being uncooperative at the hospital, she still got into the car with them.

    South Africa.

    Gu Yikun was unsettled after hearing that his mother had returned to the country. He knew she had gone back to "handle" the trouble caused by the news but didn’t expect it to be so soon.

    Would the little woman at home be bullied to tears by his mother?

    Thinking of this, Gu Yikun couldn’t wait to return home immediately. Zha Zhuoxin saw the anxious look on the CEO’s face and hesitated to say, "CEO, for some reason I have a feeling that with Miss An’s temper, even Mrs. Gu wouldn’t be able to deal with her."
