No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Yan Yuxiao looked at Qin Muxuan with a cold look crossing her eyes. At last, she still hid the vicious look because the words that Gu Zijin had said to her still rang in her ears, which was why she had behaved herself during this period of time. Now that Yan Yuxiao saw that Qin Muxuan was still living a good life in the Gu’s house, the grievance she had nursed for a long time suddenly started to grow crazily.

“Muxuan, it’s been a long time. You look a bit thinner.”

Yan Yuxiao said that with a smile. Then Qin Muxuan poured a glass of water for her. When Yan Yuxiao took the glass, she accidentally dropped the cup on the ground. The glass was smashed to pieces while the hot tea water was flowing on the ground. Yan Yuxiao cried out in surprise and then squatted down to pick the pieces of the glass at once.

As Qin Muxuan was about to say something, she saw Yan Yuxiao moaning in pain as well as the bright red blood that dropped from the latter’s fingers which had been cut by the pieces.

“Yuxiao, what happened to you?”

Elderly Lady Gu walked downstairs with a walking stick in a hurry and looked at Yan Yuxiao worriedly. The latter hid her hands behind her back and said,

“Grandma, I’m fine. I have knocked over the glass by accident.”

Elderly Lady Gu was concerned about Yan Yuxiao a lot. ‘Zijin has given Yuxiao the cold shoulder several times because of Qin Muxuan. Now this woman even dares to bully Yuxiao!’ Thinking of that, Elderly Lady Gu showed a sullen look and snorted,

“Yuxiao, I’m afraid that your kindness would only let you be bullied by others.”

Qin Muxuan knew that Elderly Lady Gu was making an allusion to her, but she still lowered her head without saying a word. After all, the impression Elderly Lady Gu had for Qin Muxuan had already been deeply rooted and Qin Muxuan didn’t know what she could do to change that.

Seeing Qin Muxuan being like this, Elderly Lady Gu got even angrier. Then she took Yan Yuxiao’s hand and walked toward the sofa. After that, the old lady and Yan Yuxiao started to chat.

Yan Yuxiao smiled tenderly with every movement of her looking graceful. Qin Muxuan felt herself unwanted in the living room. Then she walked upstairs quietly.

After she left, Elderly Lady Gu showed a more disdainful and sarcastic expression in her eyes. Yan Yuxiao then said,

“Grandma, since Zijin likes Miss Qin, why don’t you let them be together?”

“In her dream! That’s never gonna happen!”

“But the people out there all know that Xiaobai is Zijin and Miss Qin’s son.”

Elderly Lady Gu twitched her mouth and held Yan Yuxiao’s hand, sighing,

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you. The Young Madam of the Gu’s family has to be you!”

Yan Yuxiao couldn’t help but show a joyful look in her eyes. When Elderly Lady Gu had said that she wouldn’t help with the advertising thing, Yan Yuxiao had assumed that this old lady would never take her side anymore. Now she realized that Elderly Lady Gu had been supporting her the whole time. Then she let out a sigh of relief, ‘Even if Zijin doesn’t love me, I still have support from Elderly Lady Gu, and that’s enough.’

Yan Yuxiao then pretended to be sad, saying,

“But grandma, there’s no room for manoeuvre in the things Zijin has decided. Are you sure we can change his mind?”

“Since I can not persuade him, I’ll find a person who can!”

With a shocked look appearing in Yan Yuxiao’s eyes, she wondered if Elderly Lady Gu was talking about…

At midnight.

When Qin Muxuan heard the rustling sound in the room, she opened her eyes in a daze. Then she found Gu Zijin changing his clothes right now with a serious look on his face. Qin Muxuan got up and held his hand while asking,

“Where are you going?”

As Gu Zijin saw that Qin Muxuan was awake, the look on his face turned gentle. Then he answered tenderly,

“Don’t worry, I need to deal with something. Stay at home and do not go out.”

Qin Muxuan looked outside worriedly while listening to the pitter-patter of rain. Then she couldn’t help but say,

“Why can’t you deal with that tomorrow? Do you have to leave in the middle of the night?”

Gu Zijin pulled off her hand softly and gave a slight nod,

“If I can’t go back early, you should go to sleep then.”

Although Qin Muxuan had lots of doubts right now, she still listened to Gu Zijin tamely. After all, she would never be able to learn about the things which Gu Zijin didn’t want her to know from him no matter how much effort she made.

Xiaobai and Mrs. Gu’s voices came faintly from outside. After Gu Zijin got changed, he walked out of the room. Qin Muxuan opened her eyes in the dark and finally got off her bed with bare feet. After that, she walked to the door and opened it a crack. The little figure of Xiaobai seemed to be running in her direction, but was held up and brought away by Gu Zijin halfway.

Qin Muxuan bit her lips. A woman’s instinct was always accurate. Something serious must have happened tonight, otherwise Gu Zijin wouldn’t have left with both Mrs. Gu and Xiaobai in the middle of the night. Qin Muxuan assumed that Elderly Lady Gu had left too. After a long while, the outside became quiet again. Then Qin Muxuan pushed the door open, to find the place completely empty with no one there. As she was about to go back to her room after she stood there for a while, she heard the sound of someone walking with a walking stick, which made her back go stiff.

“If you like Zijin, I can agree to let you two be together, but you have to do one thing first.”

Elderly Lady Gu walked to Qin Muxuan slowly and said that. Qin Muxuan didn’t understand what was on the old lady’s mind because she remembered clearly that during the day, Elderly Lady Gu had still been very hostile toward her. Now the old lady suddenly changed her mind at night. Seeing that Qin Muxuan didn’t say anything, Elderly Lady Gu snorted and said,

“I’m too old to control Zijin anymore. If he really likes you, I can do nothing about it.”

“Elderly Lady Gu, it’s not like what you think…”

“Now, I want you to go to VIP Ward No. 301 in the central hospital to meet a person. If that person also agrees to the marriage between you and Zijin, I won’t say a word or do anything to interfere in your relationship any more.”

Hospital? Qin Muxuan felt her mind going blank at once. She didn’t understand why Elderly Lady Gu asked her to go to the hospital, nor did she know who the patient in the VIP ward was. However, Elderly Lady Gu had no intention to explain to her and turned around to go back to her own room with these words, “It’s up to you whether you want to go or not.”

Qin Muxuan took a glance at the pouring rain outside. ‘If I go to the hospital, will Elderly Lady Gu accept my existence here?’ Although Qin Muxuan didn’t know if Elderly Lady Gu had been telling the truth, she was still persuaded. ‘If she can accept me, I’ll try harder to become a better person, to be able to deserve Gu Zijin.”

One o’clock in the morning.

Gu Zijin had been waiting outside the emergency room with a frown. Gu Heng’s condition got worse. Gu Heng didn’t wake up and was in danger of getting a cardiac failure. Qin Xiaobai looked at Gu Zijin with an innocent look in his eyes and asked,

“Dad, is grandpa really lying in there?”

Gu Zijin answered yes. Mrs. Gu’s eyes had already turned red, but she forced herself not to cry because she didn’t want Gu Heng to worry about her.

It was still raining outside. When Qin Muxuan arrived at the hospital, she found there were few staff in the hospital and no one even came to ask whether she was a relative of any patient. In the meantime, after Yan Yuxiao who was wearing a peaked cap watched Qin Muxuan entering the hospital, she showed a satisfied smile and left secretly.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
