Chapter 118: Can't You Just Rest Properly?

  "Xiao Qian said, 'Eat slowly, after a while you'll be done eating and then you need to take medicine, don't eat too much, it's not good for your body.'"

  Gu Yu ate while still looking at him with a puzzled expression.

  Gu Yu had never needed anyone to take care of her before.

  Gu Xi still remembered that sometimes Xiao Qian would come back drunk, stumbling and staggering. Gu Xi would go to support him, and he would scold her for a while, saying "Who told you to come over?", "Look at the way you're dressed", and "Don't think that just because you're trying to curry favor with me, I'll pass your project tomorrow."

  Gu Yu's most annoying thing was this, so there was also a time when he threw him outside in anger.

  Xiao Qian will be even more furious tomorrow and scold Gu Yu for being heartless and having no virtue as a woman.

  Gu Yan also had a kind heart and took care of him, pulling him in, wiping his body clean, and brewing a hangover soup for him.

  Xiao Qian is actually a man who can be dealt with gently but not forcefully, unfortunately, Gu Yan didn't have that kind of patience.

  Gu Yu remembered that when she was a child, the aunt next door was always bullied by her husband. In the middle of the night, they would quarrel and fight, and the woman would be beaten back to her parents' home. However, after just a few days, she would return, and the cycle would repeat itself. The husband had scolded her for everything, but she was still a woman who couldn't be driven away by scolding, still obedient and listening, taking care of her husband, and not allowing others to say anything bad about him.

  Gu Yu thought, it's not that there aren't women like this in the world, but she wasn't suited to his path and couldn't be such a woman.

  Gu Yan looked at Xiao Qian, he pulled the quilt on her legs up a bit and said, "I'll be sleeping next door tonight, if you need anything just call me."

  Gu Yan had just finished eating the congee, and her previously dry lips were now plump. Under the crystal lamp on the ceiling, they reflected a hint of luster. After resting for a while, her weak body still looked like it was recovering from an illness. Her hands grasped the quilt, and she pulled herself up slightly, looking at Xiao Qian with her fan-shaped eyelashes fluttering. The amber-colored eyes always had a hint of stubbornness, and her lively eyes would occasionally flicker back and forth when she was thinking. At this moment, due to her illness, they seemed somewhat dull and listless, lacking their usual sharpness.

  She gazed at Xiao Qian and said, "Xiao Qian..."

  Xiao Qian hummed, "What?"

  "Thank you."

  She is not an unreasonable person, if others treat her well, she will also want to return the favor.

  Xiao Qian's heart still had something on it, and his smile wasn't as carefree as usual. Looking at Gu Yan, he said, "From now on, you should be more careful, not many men can tolerate a woman always going against them, right?"

  Gu Yu wrapped herself in the quilt, pulling it all the way up to her neck, leaning against the soft white headboard behind her, looking at Xiao Qian, "Is it just that you always think I'm opposing you?"

  "Isn't that so? You tell me, which time wasn't it because I said east and you insisted on saying west. A woman, how can she not know how to compromise?" Xiao Qian said, "I'm trying to advise you for your own good, do you think I'm a demanding person? Wait until you find another man in the future, I'll tell you, with someone like you, you won't even last three days without being kicked out of the house, and I'll be the one who's embarrassed."

  Gu Yu rolled her eyes and said without any reserve, "It's worth a try, but I don't know who will be kicked out of the house in the end."

  Xiao Qian's voice rose, and he shouted, "Hey, Gu Yu, why are you so competitive? Do you want to fight with people? Let me tell you, don't think that just because you scratched me a few times, your little three-legged cat skills are impressive. That was all because I was being polite. I'm just that kind of gentleman."

  Gu Yan was about to laugh. If he were really as he said, a gentleman with just a bit of elegance, she wouldn't have gotten angry every time and lost control of her temper.

  "Go to sleep."

  Gu Yu nodded and lay down, feeling a bit hot, her legs stretched out, her slender white legs placed outside, moving slightly in a cute way. Xiao Qian looked at her, frowned and walked over, "Look at you, don't even know how to take care of yourself, you have a cold, aren't you cold like this?"

  As he spoke, he walked over and pulled her quilt over, wrapping her body tightly, without leaving any gap, and even tucked the opening at the bottom underneath.

  Gu Yan had just eaten and was sweating all over his body, feeling hot to death, as if he had been wrapped into a zongzi, and he couldn't help but want to strip off all his clothes immediately.

  "Xiao Qian, it's not that cold, is it? You're making me sweat to death like this."

  "You're catching a cold and don't know hot from cold," said Xiao Qian.

  "Let me up," Gu Yan said. "I'm catching a cold, not going crazy, I still know hot from cold, hurry and let me go, I'm burning up."

  Xiao Qian looked at the struggling woman, his dark eyes narrowed, "Gu Yu, do you still want to go against me? I told you what to do, just do it."

  "But..."

  "Alright, just bear with it for a while, sweat it out and the cold will be gone."

  "Alright, you understand." Without another word, he helped her with the quilt. Seeing that she seemed a bit impatient, he said to her, "I'll play some records for you to listen to, and you can fall asleep while listening to the music."

  He walked a few steps to the opposite side, where there were records on the shelves, and it was unclear when they had been put there. Over the past six years, the room had long been filled with all sorts of things, many small trinkets that seemed to hold a little memory of the past.

  He casually put a record on the phonograph and walked back, sat down, saw Gu Yu still staring with her eyes wide open, frowned and said in a domineering tone, "What are you looking at? Go to sleep, close your eyes."

  The gentle music flowed slowly, Gu Yu had no choice but to close her eyes.

  Xiao Qian was right this time, after a while, it seemed that it wasn't so hard to get through, she gradually fell asleep, in her dream, it seemed like she had returned to the time when they just got married.

  This bed, this room, is too familiar, so sometimes it's hard to distinguish between time and place, and forget who I am.

  Xiao Qian waited until she fell asleep, then lowered his head to gaze at her serene face.

  Xiao Qian actually knew she was supposed to be a good girl.

  She is excellent, charming and capable.

  The person grandfather has taken a liking to won't be an empty shell.

  He is too demanding.

  It's just that things have come to this...

  Xiao Qian just didn't quite like this kind of reckless girl after all.

  He let out a deep sigh, gazing at her delicate face as she slept, with a hint of a smile on it, looking like an innocent and flawless baby, making one want to go over and caress her lovely cheeks.

  He thought to himself, if she were always so obedient and well-behaved, what a perfect woman that would be.

  Unfortunately, he knew that the recovered Gu Yu would not be like this for long. The recovered Gu Yu would soon start to act out again, continue to provoke him and make him angry.

  What an annoying woman.

  Thinking of this, he didn't dare look at her again and strode out quickly.

  He didn't go to sleep, he went to the study, turned on the computer, and looked at a day's work, which had already achieved some results.

  Gu Yu's offshore company, registered as an air conditioner manufacturer, is called Kayute Air Conditioning Foreign Trade Group. The way to transfer funds was to buy a machine from a European manufacturer at a high price, with one machine costing 30 million yuan, while the actual price of the machine was only tens of thousands of yuan. It can be imagined that the remaining 29 million or so was successfully transferred, and then handed over to Kayute Air Conditioning.

  This European manufacturer is a black account for human fund transfers, Xiao Qian saw that the person who investigated him was behind the scenes of this manufacturer's name to help people transfer funds, and the backstage black hand was Qi Zhi Guo, a wealthy and powerful man in B City.

  Xiao Qian pinched his chin, rubbed his fingertips, and stared at these three words.

  A bit of trouble...

  Xiao's family and Qi have no relationship in governing the country, it can be said... there is no relationship at all.

  How can there be any friendship between them, one is a cunning businessman who only cares about making money, and the other is a noble merchant with a rich heritage from the old imperial city. Xiao Yi said that his family still has a lot of honors and titles passed down from the older generation.

  That's completely two different paths, how can they be related?

  It's not that the Xiao family hasn't done anything bad before, in this line of work, who hasn't caused trouble for others or set traps behind their backs? But it's different with them, the Xiao family is a special case, they're directly upfront about it. Although no one can catch any evidence, everyone knows what's going on. Later on, he even got tired of hiding and spoke openly about it.

  Xiao Qian thought, Gu Yan must have offended some evil spirits, it's really worrying to death, with her being like this, if she were to find another man, who else would have the ability of the Xiao family to help her block these open and secret attacks?

  Xiao Qian thought for a moment and called Yin Xiu Jie. He said that the road is relatively wide and not so straight, maybe there's something to hang on to, pull a line and build a bridge, ask for help, maybe you can find out who is doing business with this company, and then investigate which offshore company has Gu Yu as its legal person, and finally figure out who is behind the scenes.

  Yin Xiu Jie heard Xiao Qian ask this, but said to him, "I really don't know about this, I'll help you find out, but I'm not close with him either. Although neither of us is very upright, we're not on the same path."

  Incidentally - when writing this article, I thought the music should be like this one

  It's been ages since I last saw you, I thought you were somewhere else

  Originally lived in my heart, accompanying my breath

  How far is the distance that I thought I couldn't smell your breath

  Who knows your silhouette is so long, turned around and saw you

  The past is gone, it's too late to start liking you from scratch

  White clouds wrapped around the blue sky

  If

  Can't walk together forever

  At least give us the courage to miss

  The Right to Hug

  Let me make it clear to you the marks of my heart racing

  Chen Jieyi

  Afraid of feeling forced, didn't write it down, listening to the song and thinking about him playing music for her is also full of love, the former husband's feelings are understandable.
