Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 455
Chapter 455 There’s an enemy down the line
Probably because Lu Xiaoxian was staring too closely, Cheng Rui Zhang was very peaceful for a while and did not act excessively.
Lu Ding Shen was collecting chips in the stock market while secretly meeting with shareholders, trying to convince them to resell their shares to him. But the result was very little.
Gu Guangxian has been living in the hospital, and under the careful care of Fang Yaru, his body is getting better every day.
Fang Yaru looked at the calendar and said, “Stay two more days and get out of the hospital, it’s going to be New Year’s Eve and a lot of things need to be prepared.”
As usual, Gu Guangxian did not answer much, after waking up, although he cooperated with the treatment, but his mood has been low, the whole day muffled, only on the weekend Gu Niannian came over, his face only slightly smile.
Fang Yaru glanced at him, sighed, and added, “I want to go to Tongshan to set up a longevity tablet for Nianbin, but hopefully, like Xiao Xian said, one day, he will come back.”
Gu Guangxian still didn’t say anything, so Fang Yaru went to the kitchen to squeeze juice for him, every afternoon, she had to squeeze a cup of kiwi juice for Gu Guangxian.
After squeezing the juice out, Gu Guangxian remained motionless in the same posture as earlier, looking out the window woodenly.
Outside the window was a cloudy sky, it looked like it was going to rain again, Fang Yaru handed the juice to him, “Drink it in one gulp.”
Gu Guangxian took it, but didn’t drink it, and suddenly said, “Yaru, why does he hate me like this?”
Fang Yaru said without a trace of anger, “How should I know? A wolf-hearted guy, he’s all the way with that mom of his.”
“Just talk about him, what’s the point of bringing up his mother?” Gu Guangxian said with some displeasure.
Fang Yaru this time harbor a bellyful of fire, see Gu Guangxian sick in bed, not good with him, the result is that he is still defending that woman, suddenly the fire a rubbed up, yelled, “I said that woman how? I said, “I said what’s wrong with that woman? You’re shameless, you taught your son to be even more shameless, if you weren’t confused by that woman, how could you have gotten into this situation.”
Once Fang Yaru got angry, Gu Guangxian didn’t say anything and silently drank the cup of kiwi juice.
Originally scheduled to be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow, but early the next morning, a sensational news came out on TV. Last night, a fire suddenly broke out and burned down an entire building, the very same Gu’s Centennial Building that had just returned to the Gu family.
Because it is an old house, the wind is strong, burned up fast, received the public alarm, the fire truck arrived when the building has been burned out of shape, although the fire was finally extinguished, but the remnants of the bricks and tiles, wrecked, everywhere is a black smudge, the air emanates a strong paste and charcoal odor. The scene pulled up the police line, many people ran to the neighborhood in the morning to see the scene, have to discuss, the scene is a noisy.
Gu Guangxian watched the TV, his face pale, Gu’s hundred years building has been doing repair, Gu Nianbin disappeared, there was a stoppage, only in the last two months to reopen, want to repair after the year, free open to the general public to watch. How did not expect to suddenly catch fire.
Seeing the ancestral property into ruins, Gu Guangxian was hit hard, like a big needle in the heart, painful and uncomfortable. After a few breaths of air, he suddenly fainted with his head tilted.
Fang Yaru came back and saw it, so scared that she shouted for the doctor. After first aid, Gu Guangxian’s vital signs were stable for the time being, but he did not pass the danger period. The doctor’s face was grave, although Gu Guangxian had been admitted to the hospital a few times and had not been in good condition, this time was the most dangerous.
Lu Xiaoxian received a call, rushed over, Fang Yaru six godless, see her just crying, sobbing, “Xiaoxian, your father he … doctor said, very dangerous … only afraid… …”
“It’s okay, mom,” Lu Xiaoxian hugged her and comforted her softly, “Dad will be fine, he’ll get over it, don’t worry.”
Afraid that Fang Yaru’s crying and wailing would affect Gu Guangxian’s rest, Lu Xiaoxian brought her into the next room, “Mom, you rest here, I’ll go over to check on dad, don’t worry, dad will be fine.”
Fang Yaru leaned against the sofa looking very listless, she had been in fear, and at this time, her physical strength was also obviously not good, tiredly nodded, “You go.”
Lu Xiaoxian went over to look at Gu Guangxian, his appearance was indeed ugly, in the past the onset of the disease was pale, but now it took on a tragic gray color, his cheeks were deeply concave, his mouth was half-open, just like a person on the verge of death, with only his last breath left, no wonder Fang Yaru was so scared.
Lu Xiaoxian sat down and gently held Gu Guangxian’s hand, his nose was sore and his eyes were moist. Although Gu Guangxian has always been sick, but kind eyebrows, always with a smile on the face, when in a good mood, column crutches can be hiking on their own, never now this look.
Gu Guangxian’s hand was thin and bony, but the blood vessels under the skin were thick and bulged out very slightly scary, and there was a needle stuck in the back of his hand, and the drip slowly and evenly dripped down, slowly soaking into his veins.
She sat silently for a while, tucked Gu Guangxian’s blanket in place, and instructed Ling, who was guarding the side, to say a few words, and got up to go next door; Fang Yaru, a bit more calm than just now, saw her come in and asked, “How’s your father?”
How would it be? It had been that slumber, no better or worse, but she nodded, “It was okay, Daddy slept well.”
Fang Yaru actually knew that, but it was just that she needed someone to say a word like that to make her heart feel better.
Sighing, she asked Lu Xiaoxian, “Did you go to the scene to see how the fire started in reverse?”
“I went there last night, it was dark and I couldn’t see anything, and the firefighters wouldn’t let me in after putting out the fire, and I went over there again this morning, and the fire department is still checking it out, and said they’d let me know if they had any news.”
Fang Yaru shook her head, “It’s really a bad year, for no reason, how could a fire start? A good house burned when it was said to burn.”
“There were no casualties, it’s always a blessing in misfortune.” Lu Xiaoxian said, “But I also think it’s strange, it’s always cloudy and rainy lately, it doesn’t make sense that it would be easy to catch fire.”
Fang Yaru frowned in thought, “Xiao Xian, this can’t be man-made, right?”
Lu Xiaoxian was shocked, “No way? Mom, who has a grudge against us, why did they go and burn down the house?”
Fang Yaru snorted coldly, “There is one enemy.”
Lu Xiaoxian knew that she was talking about Cheng Rui Chang as soon as she heard him, although he had done so many bad things, he wasn’t as bad as this, was he?
“It’s still under investigation, let’s wait for the results to come out.” Lu Xiaoxian’s heart was a little messed up, unwilling to believe that was true.
As they were talking, Gu Shanshan walked in quickly and greeted them with red eyes.
Fang Yaju asked, “Have you gone to see your father yet?”
Gu Shanshan nodded and said with a sobbing voice, “Mom, how did dad become like this? Isn’t he all set to be discharged from the hospital?”
“In the morning he watched the news on TV and was stimulated, and he became like this.” Fang Yaru pulled her daughter to sit beside her and sighed mournfully, “The doctor also said it’s not good, I’m afraid that he won’t be able to make it, I’m really afraid!”
“It won’t be, dad has been able to get through it every time, and he’ll definitely be able to this time too,” Gu Shanshan hugged her mother, “Why don’t I take a few days off and stay here with you and dad.”
“Good thing too,” Fang Yaju sniffled, “Your father will be in a better mood with you around.”
“Shan Shan, are your TV station people still at the fire scene?” Lu Xiaoxian asked.
“It shouldn’t be there anymore, but it’ll do a holding report,” Gu Shanshan said, “It’s strange, how could it catch fire in this weather? I went to the scene to see it, it burned very badly, and I heard the firefighters say it seemed to be burning from the inside.”
“It burned from inside?” Lu Xiaoxian said, “The workers were off duty at that hour, no one was inside, how could it suddenly catch fire?”
Gu Shan Shan said, “That will have to wait for the results of the investigation.”
“I think it’s that wolf-hearted guy who’s up to no good, and he won’t stop until he’s pissed off at your dad.”
Gu Shanshan’s almond eyes glared, “If he dares to gaslight dad, I’ll fight him to the death!”
Lu Xiaoxian’s heart was in turmoil, although she didn’t want to believe that Cheng Ruizhang had anything to do with this, but she intuited that the fire had started in a strange way.
Someone knocked on the door outside, it was Ling, saying that Gu Guangxian had woken up, as if he was looking for someone.
The three people hurriedly went to the ward, the doctor was checking Gu Guangxian, Gu Guangxian’s face was still miserable gray, but his eyes would follow the person, he looked at Lu Xiaoxian, his lips wriggled as if he wanted to speak.
After the doctor examined him, he said, “Don’t talk for too long, try to let him rest as much as possible, the situation is better than just now, but it’s not optimistic, it’s better to focus on observation.”
Fang Yaru nodded her head repeatedly, “Fine, we know.”
Lu Xiaoxian put her head over and heard Gu Guangxian’s very faint voice, “Call, him, come.”
He spoke with great difficulty, popping out one word at a time, and although he didn’t name names, Lu Xiaoxian knew who he was talking about, so he nodded, “Okay, I’ll go now.”
Fang Yaru followed her out and asked Lu Xiaoxian in the corridor, “What did your father ask you to do?”
Lu Xiaoxian told the truth, “Dad wants to see Cheng Rui Chang.”
“What?” Fang Yaru almost screamed, “To see him at this hour, this old fool, must he be angry with him before giving up?”
Gu Shanshan also walked out, “Mom, keep your voice down, didn’t the doctor say that he would fulfill all of dad’s requests? Since dad wants to see it, let’s see it, after all, he’s dad’s son too.”
Fang Yaru’s chest was stuffy, and she almost cursed again, fearing that Gu Guangxian would hear her, she lowered her voice, “What son, I think he’s a ghost who is begging for his life! When he didn’t show up, everything was fine, but when he showed up, our Gu family became like this! Your brother’s life and death are unknown, your father is so angry with him that he’s lying in the hospital.”
Gu Shanshan was a bit helpless and said, “Mom, you can’t blame him for what happened to brother, I know he’s not good, but dad’s already like this, if he wants to see it, let him see it.”
Lu Xiaoxian, who had been silent the entire time, interjected at this point, “He’s very resistant to the Gu family, I don’t think he’ll come.”
“Xiao Xian, you must find a way to get him to come,” Gu Shanshan sniffled a little, “Dad’s not doing well, and him coming might make him a little happier.”
Lu Xiaoxian nodded, “Okay, even if I tie him up, I’ll still tie him up.”
