CHAPTER 59: SO PITIFUL

When Yi Shu said this, he almost felt like slapping himself.

It might work on kids!

But deceiving President Gu?

Chi Yu really thinks he can.

Gu Yuan thought Yi Shu was rushing to find her for something important, but upon hearing this, her eye twitched fiercely.

"If someone is at death’s door and has some last words, it’s understandable." Saying this, Gu Yuan crossed her arms and said blandly, "But I’m in a hurry to leave, so I’m afraid I can’t go see him. You go back and tell him what I said, and once he’s gone, I’ll go offer incense for him."

Yi Shu: "..." President Gu is ruthless!

Dao An next to him wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to. Chi Yu really won’t give up until all hope is lost. A grown man still playing such childish tricks.

Seeing Yi Shu not responding, Gu Yuan asked, "What is it? Was there something wrong with what I said?"

Yi Shu, utterly helpless, held his head and said, "Chi Yu hasn’t exactly kicked the bucket yet, he just wants to see you, President Gu."

"See me? And seeing me would heal him?" Gu Yuan retorted.

Yi Shu wanted to say of course, but then swallowed his words. President Gu was so sharp, yet Chi Yu thought of such a lousy idea. It’s not like they haven’t seen President Gu’s indifferent side before.

Yi Shu adopted a serious tone, "President Gu, there’s clearly a misunderstanding between you and Chi Yu. This has gone on for so long, I believe your anger should have subsided by now. Why not just go and see Chi Yu?"

Gu Yuan remained unmoved.

Yi Shu, pressing on, continued, "Chi Yu came back last night with a high fever, all due to his wound getting infected. In his feverish delirium, he kept calling your name, President Gu, repeatedly. It was heartbreaking."

"Hearing you say it like that, it does sound quite pitiful." Gu Yuan said helplessly.

Yi Shu nodded vigorously, speaking so sorrowfully, "Chi Yu truly is pitiful. He’s almost unrecognizable now, getting worse by the day. If this continues, he’ll look like a walking skeleton."

Gu Yuan: "..."

Is it that exaggerated?

But Chi Yu really is quite thin...

"Is he already half-dead?" Gu Yuan asked.

Yi Shu nodded, "Pretty much, Chi Yu has been murmurously repeating your name, President Gu, he’s really pathetic."

"..."

Rural Homestay.

Li Yan was touching up her makeup with a compact she found very cheap.

She honestly found it super distasteful, but on camera, she had to act like she loved it. It was nauseating!

Seeing a group coming in, Li Yan glanced casually, and then she spotted Gu Yuan among them. She immediately closed her compact and stood up, striding toward the entering Gu Yuan.

"It’s you!"

Gu Yuan: "It’s me."

Li Yan glared, finding this woman really brazen and shameless, directly showing up at the rural homestay this time.

"Here to see Chi Yu again?" Li Yan crossed her arms and blocked the way, "I’m telling you, Chi Yu isn’t seeing anyone right now. We’re filming a show, please be considerate."

Gu Yuan tugged at the corner of her mouth, turned around, and left.

Seeing Gu Yuan, whom he had managed with difficulty to persuade, suddenly turn around and head back, Yi Shu hurriedly stepped forward, "President Gu, why are you suddenly leaving?"

Gu Yuan said coldly, "I’ve come and still have other important matters; it’s time to go."

Yi Shu looked completely baffled.

At that moment, Li Yan walked over, smugly saying as if seeking credit, "Yi Shu, you’re here. This woman just entered the rural homestay, and I stopped her. You’d better get rid of her, or she’ll bother Chi Yu again."
