No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 45: Elderly Lady Gu Was Sick



Seeing the changes of Elderly Lady Gu’s look, Yan Yuxiao couldn’t help but get joyful. ‘Qin Muxuan, let’s see if you’ll be allowed to stay here this time!’

“Yuxiao, you should go back now. I might have to deal with something later.”

Yan Yuxiao didn’t want to be leave at this moment because she preferred to watch Qin Muxuan being kicked out. Then she held Elderly Lady Gu’s hand and said,

“Grandma, are you blaming me for taking those photos? If you don’t want others to know about this, I’ll delete the photos right away. I promise you there wouldn’t be a third person learning about this… I’m afraid that you’ll get ill because of the photos. Why don’t you let me stay here tonight to accompany you?”

“My stupid girl, how can I blame you? If you want to stay, I’ll let Nanny Chen prepare a room for you.”

Late at night.

After Qin Muxuan had cooled herself down, she took a taxi back. When she arrived, the Gu’s house was already brightly lit. Gu Zijin happened to get out of the car at the same time. As he glanced at the living room, he heard a car parking behind him. Then he looked back displeasedly with his eyebrows knitted. As he expected, Qin Muxuan was getting out of the car. Gu Zijin compressed his thin lips and said,

“It’s already very dark. Where have you been?”

Qin Muxuan paused for a second. Then she realized that he wouldn’t find that she had cried since it had already been so long, so she answered,

“Nothing, I just went out for a stroll.”

“Fine.”

Gu Zijin loosened his collar gently and said,

“Let’s eat dinner together then.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“OK.”

As they walked into the room together, there was a porcelain cup being smashed to Qin Muxuan. Gu Zijin reacted very fast and caught the cup right away. With a frightening expression, he looked to the direction where the cup was from. Only when he saw the one that had thrown the cup did he restrain his anger a bit. Still, he said in a sullen voice,

“Grandma, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing? Zijin, how many times do I have to tell you! You can not pamper this woman! She doesn’t deserve your protection! Do you know what she did today?!”

When she heard that, Qin Muxuan’s heart thumped. She didn’t know what Elderly Lady Gu meant. Thinking that Elderly Lady Gu might have followed her, Qin Muxuan got scared instantly. Although she hadn’t done anything wrong, she knew that she would be doomed if Elderly Lady Gu had seen Yin Youting hugging her. Then, with Qin Muxuan’s palms sweating, she looked to Gu Zijin and wondered how to explain to him.

Gu Zijin put down the cup. The look on his face was not angry at all but actually very calm. Then he raised his head slightly and said in a cold voice,

“Grandma, I know what I’m doing, you don’t have to be so concerned about me. I don’t know what Qin Muxuan went out for today, I don’t need to know either.”

Elderly Lady Gu’s face turned pale with rage. Yan Yuxiao happened to bring the tea into the living room from the kitchen. Seeing the look on Elderly Lady Gu’s face, she served tea for the elderly lady right away and said,

“Grandma, calm down. Have some tea first.”

Elderly Lady Gu pointed to Gu Zijin with her trembling finger and said in a fierce tone slowly,

“I’ll never allow such a dirty woman stay in our family! I want you to kick Qin Muxuan out today! Or else…”

“Or what?”

Gu Zijin looked into Elderly Lady Gu’s eyes, not willing to make any concession. Then he reached out his hand and held Qin Muxuan’s hand very tightly. Qin Muxuan was also stunned by his action. She had thought that Gu Zijin only treated her nicely because of Qin Xiaobai and that all the sweet interaction between them was just playacted. But now, she felt a strong sense of security from him and she only wanted to rely on him and indulge in this feeling…

“You, you…”

Elderly Lady Gu was so angry that she couldn’t even utter a word. She had watched Gu Zijin grow up over all these years. This boy had always been filial and obedient. However, that filial grandson of her was gone because of Qin Muxuan! Yan Yuxiao hurried to show her support for Elderly Lady Gu,

“Zijin, you truly have wronged grandma this time. Miss Qin has dated another man behind your back. She and that guy even held each other’s hands and hugged. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the photos.”

Gu Zijin fixed his cold eyes on Yan Yuxiao, making the latter feel a bit terrified. Her hand even shivered when she passed him the phone. After a while, she heard Gu Zijin asking,

“So, you just happened to be around Qin Muxuan and take those photos?”

Yan Yuxiao, her face turning stiff, shed tears right away,

“Zijin, are you suspecting me now? How was I able to know that Miss Qin would go out today? It’s a total coincidence that I have run into her. How can you misunderstand me like this! Why do you have to protect Miss Qin even though you already knew about the truth! Don’t you see how angry grandma is now?”

“Yuxiao, don’t talk to him anymore!”

Elderly Lady Gu interrupted her with coldness in her eyes and then continued,

“If you don’t drive Qin Muxuan away today, I’ll leave!”

Mrs. Gu didn’t know what had happened. After she saw Elderly Lady Gu truly was furious this time, she stepped forward right away and said,

“Mother, how can you say that? Where else can you go?”

“Well, hasn’t he already prepared a villa for me?!”

Elderly Lady Gu walked to the door with her walking stick. Yan Yuxiao followed her right away. Gu Zijin didn’t say anything and only kept walking to the inside while still holding Qin Muxuan’s hand. However, Elderly Lady Gu suddenly got a heart attack as she walked a few steps and then fainted. Yan Yuxiao cried out in panic and held Elderly Lady Gu, saying,

“Grandma! Grandma! Don’t frighten me! What’s wrong with you?”

Seeing Elderly Lady Gu collapsing, Qin Muxuan also felt a bit panicky. Gu Zijin let go of her hand the moment he heard Yan Yuxiao’s voice. Then he strode to Elderly Lady Gu. With Mrs. Gu’s eyes turning red and her legs getting limp, she almost fell onto the ground. As she saw Gu Zijin coming over, she slapped on his face straightly,

“Your father is still in hospital! Now you want to send your grandma there too? Don’t you know how old your grandma is?! Why can’t you talk to her nicely?!”

The expression on Gu Zijin’s handsome and cold face still didn’t change, but there were red finger marks appearing on one side of his face. Mrs. Gu looked at those marks and then at her own hand, starting to weep in a low voice. After Gu Zijin called the hospital, the ambulance came very quickly. Then Elderly Lady Gu was sent to hospital.

In the Central Hospital.

Gu Zijin was smoking by the window alone while Qin Muxuan was sitting in the hallway. Yan Yuxiao who stood in front of Qin Muxuan looked at the latter with a resentful look and said,

“Miss Qin, are you satisfied now? Grandma fainted in rage because of you! Zijin wouldn’t have talked back to grandma if it were not for you!”

Qin Muxuan didn’t say anything and only grabbed the hem of her clothes gently. Mrs. Gu stared at the emergency room with a worried look. After a while, Qin Muxuan stood up and walked toward Gu Zijin. The latter had already heard the soft steps behind him, but he didn’t turn around and only looked at the busy street which was crowded with people and vehicles outside the window.

Qin Muxuan dragged Gu Zijin by the sleeve. Then Gu Zijin looked to her, saying,

“I’ll let Uncle Chen drive you back later. Sleep early with Xiaobai tonight.”
