BXBX NOVEL Chapter 763 - 763: Gu Rou Is Sick
“You still say that this is a small illness? Look, you’re so weak that you can’t even speak properly.” Zhang Yue’s tone was anxious, his concern obvious.
Gu Rou smiled smugly, but her words were still delicate and weak. “Brother Zhang, I’m sorry to make you worry. I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”
“You’re at the Gu residence now, right? Wait for me. I’ll be right there.” Zhang Yue’s tone was anxious as he hurriedly hung up.
Gu Rou looked at the phone in her hand that had been hung up. There was no unhappiness on her face. Instead, the corners of her lips curled up proudly.
With her capital, wouldn’t it be easy for her to firmly hold Zhang Yue in her hands? Then wouldn’t the Zhang family’s assets be easy to obtain?
Since Zhang Yue was already here, their scenes could continue. The rest was up to Gu Man.
Gu Rou sneezed. She also realized that she had been in the cold water for too long. If she continued to stay, something might happen.
She stood up from the cold water, but when the cold wind blew, she had goosebumps all over her body. She endured it and went to the bed. She put on her pajamas and wrapped herself in the blanket before her body warmed up slightly.
In order to maintain the gentleness of the muscles on her body, Gu Rou had not exercised much. She was already dizzy after soaking in cold water and her consciousness gradually blurred.
The last thing Gu Rou saw was Qu Bei’s flustered face.
This was her and Gu Yuan’s plan. The others did not know, but it was also to prevent them from knowing the truth and affecting the effect of the final performance.
She forced herself to look up. “Mom, I’m fine. 1 just feel a little uncomfortable. I’ll be fine after a nap.”
Qu Bei looked at Gu Rou’s delicate appearance and her heart ached. She stroked the side of her cheek. “My Rou’er must have suffered too much recently, causing your old illness to flare up. It’s all Mom’s fault for not being capable and not being able to protect you. Believe me, there will definitely not be a second child in the Gu family. You don’t have to worry about this anymore.”
Gu Rou did not expect to be pleasantly surprised. She coughed violently and pretended to be magnanimous. “Actually, 1’11 like having a younger brother very much too. You don’t have to care too much about my feelings. I’m already so old and can’t keep dragging you guys down. Someone has to take over the Gu family.”
As she spoke, the corners of her lips twitched, but her smile looked a little forced.
Qu Bei looked at Gu Rou like this and her heart ached even more. “What are you talking about? I’ve brought you up since you were young. Don’t I know you? You keep everything to yourself. Sometimes, you should be willful.”
Gu Rou suppressed the smugness in her eyes and nodded weakly. “This is between Dad and you. I can’t interfere. If you want a child, I don’t mind. Mom, you don’t have to care too much about my feelings.”
“You’re my daughter. If 1 don’t care, who do you care about? Don’t worry, with my word, there will definitely not be a second child in the Gu family. Even if there is, I’ll abort him!” Qu Bei’s eyes were exceptionally firm.
She looked down at Gu Rou again and gently stroked her cheek with both hands. Her eyes were filled with nostalgia, as if she was looking at another person through her.
Gu Rou’s vision gradually blurred and she could not focus on Qu Bei’s face.
Although she was still in the next scene, with someone here, Gu Rou could rest assured and faint because Qu Bei would help her perfect her image as a pitiful and strong person.
Downstairs.
The news of Gu Rou’s illness quickly spread throughout the Gu family, and the entire Gu family was especially busy.
And Gu Man slowly stepped into this busy environment.
The butler, who was standing at the side, frowned when he saw Gu Man’s indifferent expression. “Miss Gu Man, don’t blame me for being nosy. Miss Gu Rou is still sick. Why aren’t you doing anything? To think that Miss Gu Rou treated you so well before. She’s simply fed an ingrate.”
Gu Man stopped in her tracks and looked at the butler at the side. Not to mention that she did not know that Gu Rou was sick at all, even if she knew that Gu Rou was sick, what did it have to do with her? No matter how bad it was, it was really related to her. It was not up to a butler to teach her..
