Chapter 117 Everyone is a Master of Acting!
As I stood in front of Gu Yunwei's new house, a speechless smile appeared on my face.
The Huo family's houses are really in high demand.
Unexpectedly, another wealthy family has emerged on Hopeless Mountain.
Huo Yubai's house is in the best location in this villa area, my house is next, and then Gu Yunwei's house.
However, these three villas are considered top-tier luxury residences in Xinjing City.
Gu Yunwei actually moved here too.
I pressed the doorbell.
The courtyard door opens.
I got back into my car and drove inside.
The courtyard of this villa is very similar to my home, except that it is full of trees and offers greater privacy.
I drove to the main gate of the villa.
Su Wanqing walked out from inside, a smile on her face.
I got out of the car: "Aunt Su."
"You've arrived." Su Wanqing smiled. "I heard you live not far away?"
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Then I'll visit you another day." Su Wanqing smiled.
"No need, my mother hasn't been feeling well lately and shouldn't receive guests," I declined.
Su Wanqing was a little embarrassed: "Then let's do it next time. I was thinking that since we're both single, we can talk and chat with each other on weekdays."
“My mom isn’t alone,” I said.
Su Wanqing said awkwardly, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."
I nodded slightly, then picked up my bag and went inside.
She led me upstairs.
Gu Yunwei's room is on the second floor. His room has huge floor-to-ceiling windows, making it bright and airy.
He was wearing thick, soft, dark blue pajamas, with a robe draped over his shoulders, sitting in his wheelchair, looking out the window.
I walked over.
I then realized that I could see my roof from here, and that was all I could see.
"It's just a house, what's so interesting about it?" I asked.
He smiled slightly and said, "It's beautiful. Compared to the unchanging scenery at the Gu family home, this place is much more beautiful."
I raised an eyebrow.
"Should I go back to bed?" He looked up at me.
I nodded.
He called the caregiver in.
The caregiver helped him sit on the edge of the bed.
I asked, "How have your legs felt these past few days?"
"A little," he said, looking at me. "It's a little itchy."
I explained, "This means your blood circulation is starting to return to normal. I will begin to increase the intensity of the treatment. You may experience some discomfort, but this process is the most important. If you can't help but give up, it will be useless to come back to me later."
“I’ve endured everything over the years, so what’s a little discomfort?” A hint of sarcasm flashed across Gu Yunwei’s face.
"Then you should lie down," I said.
The caregiver helped Gu Yunwei lie down.
"You can go now," Gu Yunwei said to the caregiver. "I'll call you if I need anything."
The caregiver left without saying a word.
I started preparing: "Did you move out of the Gu family home to avoid suspicion?"
"Now that I've got leverage over Gu Heng and his mother, shouldn't I make a statement?" Gu Yunwei smirked. "Besides, my mother isn't happy there either."
"Then why didn't you move before?" I asked, puzzled.
"Because I couldn't make up my mind," Gu Yun said without explanation.
I lifted the hem of his robe, revealing his legs, and began to administer acupuncture.
This time the needle was indeed applied quite heavily.
At the beginning, Gu Yunwei's forehead was covered in sweat.
Because he cannot move during acupuncture.
I took a handkerchief and wiped his sweat.
His ears turned red.
Without thinking much, I started fiddling with the medicinal herbs.
He watched my retreating figure and asked, "I heard you're collaborating with Gu Heng?"
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Don't you hate him?" Gu Yunwei asked, puzzled.
"Disgust may be my dislike, but the Gu family is undeniably powerful. I came to Xinjing City for fame and fortune, so cooperating with them is a win-win situation," I said calmly.
"Fame and fortune?" Gu Yunwei said meaningfully, "There are outsiders who believe such a claim."
I glanced at him and said, "You're an outsider too."
He paused.
The room became very quiet.
I threw all the medicinal herbs into the trash can: "You don't need these herbs anymore. I'll send someone to deliver your medicine from now on, so you don't need to decoct it yourself."
"Okay." He nodded.
Half an hour later.
I packed up the silver needles, picked up my bag, and went downstairs.
Su Wanqing asked in surprise, "Shen Yan, aren't you staying for dinner?"
"Yes, it's urgent," I said.
Su Wanqing looked disappointed: "Then let's do it next time."
"Sorry." I walked away.
Su Wanqing saw me to the door, watched me get into the car and leave, and then turned around dejectedly.
Gu Yun didn't take the elevator down. He looked at Su Wanqing calmly and said, "Mom, don't force her."
“Yunwei, Mom knows you like her.” Su Wanqing said with heartache, “But with your leg like this, you can’t say anything. But I know that the Huo family’s man and Gu Heng are both pursuing her. If she agrees, you’ll have no chance.”
"Mom, do you really think it's okay to treat her like this and then morally blackmail her?" Gu Yunwei's tone was indifferent: "You know your own regrets, so why create more regrets?"
Su Wanqing's eyes were red.
"Whether it's Huo Yubai or Gu Heng, she definitely wouldn't consider them given her temper." Gu Yunwei paused, "As long as she's not married, I still have a chance."
Hearing him say this, Su Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Yunwei, Mom believes in you. Listen to me, I know Shen Yan. She likes gentle men. Huo Yubai is sinister and ruthless. He didn't even spare his own father. He is a vicious person. She would never consider him. As for Gu Heng, needless to say, who in the entire Xinjing City is more suitable for her than you?"
These words did not comfort Gu Yunwei.
He said indifferently, "Even if I stand up, without the Gu family as my support, I won't be able to protect her."
Moreover, he knew perfectly well that Shen Yan had someone else in her heart.
This is what makes him most powerless.
He had looked into it, but didn't know who this person was.
Who was by her side back then?
He really couldn't think of anything.
-
I drove to the pharmacy.
Before I even entered the door, Gu Heng suddenly rushed out from the side and pulled me directly into the alley.
"Let me go!" I shouted angrily.
He pinned me against the wall and sneered, "You actually came looking for me."
"You actually bribed the pharmacy to continue poisoning Gu Yunwei. Gu Heng, I truly underestimated your ruthlessness." I glared at him.
“You really underestimate me, Shen Yan. I’m not the same person I was five years ago. Do you think Huo Yubai is still the same Huo Yubai he was five years ago?” Gu Heng looked at me with extreme sarcasm. “If he gets back on his feet, I’ll have one more enemy.”
"So you're afraid of him." I said sarcastically. "It seems that if you hadn't interfered back then, you would have been the heir to the Gu family."
"You're wrong." Gu Heng looked at me with a sinister gaze: "The one who attacked him was Gu Haoran, not me. Gu Haoran would never hand over everything he's worked so hard for to a bastard!"
Hybrid?
"So you also know that Gu Yunwei is Gu Wuji's child. You all know this, yet you still maintain a facade of peace. Your Gu family is truly full of acting masters!"
