Chapter 474: Chapter 475: His Ruthlessness
 

Lin Anqi seemed not to trust the treatment of my injury and called another doctor to help me.

In fact, Ding Yinuo was already sufficient.

But Lin Anqi’s enthusiasm was hard to reject, so I had to comply with her wishes.

When the doctor gave me another checkup, embarrassingly, he turned out to be Ding Yinuo’s colleague.

While prescribing medication or treating me, he always sought Ding Yinuo’s opinion.

In the end, he even told Lin Anqi,

“Actually, Dr. Ding’s treatment was very appropriate, and there’s no need for any additional measures.”

“Then will my sister have any sequelae in the future?”

“As long as she takes good care of herself, her skin won’t scar, and she shouldn’t have any sequelae.”

“Good, thank you, Doctor!”

Lin Anqi’s left foot seemed to be severely sprained.

She needed a crutch to move around, but this did not affect her concern for me.

She always wanted to take good care of me, seemingly afraid that I wouldn’t eat well, and specifically called Afang over,

“Did you hear what the doctor just said? We need to enhance the nutrition in my sister’s diet, with more calcium. From now on, when you stew bird’s nest, make a portion for my sister too.”

Afang seemed somewhat unconvinced,

“Miss, you’re pregnant, and you’re injured too. Why do you always think about others and not yourself?”

Lin Anqi said,

“Sister is also pregnant, and there’s a baby in her belly that needs careful nurturing as well.”

“Ah, Miss, that bird’s nest is very expensive, tens of thousands for a pound…”

Afang resisted openly and covertly, never wanting to give me any advantage.

Lin Anqi could no longer tolerate it and finally intensified her tone.

“From now on, don’t say such things. Father has said that sister is also a young lady of the Lin Family, and we two should be treated the same, without favoring one over the other. If you can’t treat us fairly, then I may not be able to let you continue in this job.”

This stern tone made Afang’s expression finally become much more restrained.

She bowed her head slightly and replied in a low voice,

“Yes!”

Lin Anqi then took my hand and repeatedly said,

“Sister, please don’t take offense at what she just said. As long as I’m here, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss.”

“Mmm, alright!”

With Lin Anqi’s deep affections for me, I could no longer bring myself to hate Gu Yuanzhou.

After saying these words, Lin Anqi then said to Gu Yuanzhou,

“The doctor mentioned I need to have a prenatal checkup tomorrow. Will you be free to accompany me?”

Gu Yuanzhou’s tone softened considerably,

“Sure!”

After a while, Lin Anqi looked at me again,

“Sister, you’re almost as far along in your pregnancy as I am, you should have a checkup too. How about we go together tomorrow?”

Gu Yuanzhou’s dark eyes looked at me without saying a word.

I couldn’t decipher his emotions.

Did he want me to go?

Or did he want me to refuse?

After a moment’s thought, I declined.

After all, I’m not stupid!

I certainly wouldn’t go with the three of them, allowing him to feel good about himself.

“Anqi, I’d rather not go for now. Ding Yinuo usually takes care of me, so there won’t be any problems. Even for a prenatal checkup, Ding Yinuo should accompany me, you two go ahead.”

“Alright then!”

Lin Anqi nodded and said to Gu Yuanzhou,

“Louis, I’m not feeling well. Could you help me to the bedroom?”

“Sure!”

Gu Yuanzhou assisted Lin Anqi as they walked toward the bedroom.

By this time, Wenya leisurely strolled back from outside.

Seeing this, she felt somewhat emotional,

“I have to say, your stepsister’s skills are really high, aren’t they?”

I poured a cup of tea for her,

“What nonsense are you thinking about now?”

Wenya looked around, and upon discovering that there were no servants nearby, she leaned close to my ear and said,

“Did you notice? She’s really good at handling people! She manages everything so perfectly, down to the smallest detail, and is so warm to you; she’s even better than a real sister!”

I took a sip of my tea and said calmly,

“She’s kind!”

“Kind? I don’t see it. She’s not that good to me.”

“You’re not her sister! If you were her sister, she would be good to you too!”

“Look at you, she stole your man, and still, you’re defending her. It shows you’ve really been brainwashed by her.”

“Wenya, you can’t say that. She didn’t know that Louis was Gu Yuanzhou… and besides, I’m no longer Song Yun. I’m the ex-wife of Ding Yinuo, and with my embarrassing status, I’ve long lost the right to be with Gu Yuanzhou. Moreover, I can tell that Anqi truly loves Gu Yuanzhou, and he cherishes her too. They are a perfect match, and I wish them happiness.”

My tone remained steady.

But Wenya was not convinced; she shook her head in disbelief,

“Ayun, don’t talk like that; I know you. The way you look at Gu Yuanzhou… it’s really telling.”

“Not really!”

“Don’t deny it. After more than a decade of marriage, all the little moments, I don’t believe you’ve truly given up on him. Ayun, stop deceiving yourself; I’m not someone else. There’s no need to put on a facade in front of me!”

“Wenya, I’m really not!”

“Cut the crap… We grew up together like siblings. Don’t you think I know what’s on your mind?”

I found myself getting somewhat angry at Wenya,

“So, what do you want me to do, go fight with her? Start a catfight over a man? In fact, it’s not her problem at all; it’s Gu Yuanzhou’s problem. If Gu Yuanzhou had me in his heart, if he loved me, how could he even think of bothering Lin Anqi? Causing a scene with Lin Anqi now would only inflate Gu Yuanzhou’s ego, and make him think he’s something special.”

Upon hearing this, Wenya sighed deeply,

“Alright, I was being superficial. You’re absolutely right!”

Wenya shook her head with a look of wanting to say more, but ultimately, she swallowed the words she had about Lin Anqi.

“Take care and heal up. I’ll come to see you when I’m free.”

“Mm, I’ll see you out!”

“No need for that; you can hardly walk. Go rest!”

Wenya took her leave with Su Peisheng.

Actually, after that, it seemed as if the matter had died down. Gu Yuanzhou did not bring it up again, and I thought he might have said those things in a moment of anger at Ding Yinuo, not seriously considering putting them into action.

Until a few days later, a sensational piece of news broke out in A City.

A coach bus had crashed into the Long River. The driver and five passengers were onboard; the driver was rescued but all five passengers died.

The security cameras had captured the faces of the five passengers. Looking at them, they seemed to be the same people who had attacked me the other days…

In that moment, my heart fluttered.

I truly had no idea when he had taken action, or how he had done it?

But one look and I knew it was Gu Yuanzhou’s doing; this man was ruthless.

That afternoon, I went to find Gu Yuanzhou.

Right then, he sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette while looking out the window and holding a glass of red wine.

The speakers were playing saxophone music, and his slightly squinted dark eyes carried a touch of profoundness.

“Mr. Louis is in the mood for wine?”

I asked him as I entered.

Gu Yuanzhou stood up, his hand undoing the cuff button of his black shirt, a hint of a smile on his lips as he looked at me, “Today’s a good day, worth celebrating with a couple of drinks, don’t you think?”
