The Gu Family
Second Old Master Gu was by the side of a bed, helping a woman who was deeply asleep to wipe her hand. Her face was pale and clear. Her skin seemed to not have been exposed to any sunlight for years. Her eyelashes were really long, and she had thick black hair. Her nose was high, and her lips were red. Her facial features were very delicate. Her face seems to be fixed at the moment of deep sleep. She looked very young. Her fingers were slender and white, and Ah Xi was reporting the big event that happened in the casino today.
Although Second Old Master no longer bothered about these things, something so big that happened could not be hidden from him.
“Is Yuanli hurt?”
“Second Master is not hurt. Master Qian was shot and sent to the hospital.”
Second Old Master Gu nodded calmly and put a handkerchief into a basin of water. He changed a hot towel and wiped her hand with it carefully. It was as if he could not be bothered about such trivial matters.
Ah Xi asked, “Second Old Master, are we not going to interfere?”
“How? Take away Second Master’s rights or kill Master Qian?”
Ah Xi did not know how to answer too.
“Get Old Qian over.” Second Old Master Gu commanded.
“Yes!”
Ah Xi left, and Second Old Master groomed her hair. He noticed that she did not seem to be aging, and he felt nostalgic. “Fangfang, you are still as pretty as a flower, but I have aged. If you don’t wake up soon, I’m afraid you won’t recognize me.”
Everyone wanted to give up on her, but he insisted on not doing so.
As long as she could breathe, he would never give up on her.
In the hospital.
Lin Xiaojuan’s eyes were red. She felt sorry for Shen Qianshu. She was annoyed, and she blamed herself. She was a little angry too. The bullet in Shen Qianshu had been removed. Gu Yuanli managed to point the gun in such a way that no key parts were hurt. No one thought that Shen Qianshu would be so vicious.
“Are you crazy? Why would you shoot yourself for no reason! Even if you have something with Gu Yuanli, can’t you solve things peacefully? What is going to happen to Tong Hua if something happens to you? What about us? Shen Qianshu, are you asking for it!” Lin Xiaojuan yelled at her.
Shen Qianshu admitted to her mistake. “I’m sorry. I was wrong.”
“You aren’t even remorseful.”
Indeed, Shen Qianshu did not feel remorseful in the slightest bit.
This was supposedly a joke. Back then, Gu Yuanli helped her a lot, and once, he was shot in the shoulder. He suffered from a serious injury. She did not know why, but she said, Shifu, I owe you so much. I don’t know how I can repay for this.
Gu Yuanli then said*, Then owe me. If we ever become enemies any day, shoot yourself in the shoulder. Then, we won’t owe each other anything.”*
Back then, no one took that seriously.
Things did not change, but people did.
Gu Yuanli had clearly meant it as a joke, but she turned that into reality.
“Where’s Movie King Gu?” Shen Qianshu asked.
Lin Xiaojuan looked serious. “He’s that guy’s younger brother.”
“I could guess that,” Shen Qianshu said. “Xiaojuan, this has nothing to do with Movie King. I can tell that his relationship with Shifu isn’t very good. In these past few years, Movie King has never appeared in Ghost City too. I bet he has never had anything to do with them, so our issue has nothing to do with him.”
“I know,” Lin Xiaojuan said lightly. “I’m just… afraid that you would mind.”
“Not at all!”
If she minded, Xiaojuan might leave Gu Xie. That would not be worth it.
Gu Xie was such a great person, and he treated Xiaojuan so well. Why would she mind?
Shen Qianshu lost a lot of blood, and she did not have much energy. After causing such a commotion, she was tired. Gu Xie was outside the ward, and he looked serious. Lin Xiaojuan came out and brought him in. The two of them looked at each other.
Gu Xie said, “Xiaojuan, I’m so sorry about my elder brother!”
