Shui Xiao was still in the same state without clothes as she was last night, lying naked and motionless on the bed, as if she had no breath.
Gu Chen walked to the bed in fear, bent down to Shui Xiao, "Shui Xiao." The response was silence. He stretched out his hand nervously towards her face, but the temperature shocked him.
It was as hot as boiling water, burning the palms of his hands and also burning his heart.
Gu Chen immediately took the clothes in a hurry, put them on Shui Xiao as quickly as possible, picked her up and rushed out of the house, rushing to the hospital at the speed of a rocket.
The doctor came out of the emergency room and said directly to Gu Chen: "How come the person was brought here with such a burn? He almost couldn't be saved."
When Gu Chen heard that he almost couldn't be saved, his heart was in his throat. If he didn't go back today, he didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
Shui Xiao was lying in the VIP ward, with a bloodless face, and could disappear from his eyes at any time. Gu Chen was sitting beside her bed, his eyes were deep, but his nervousness could be seen.
Gu Chen inadvertently put his hand into his pocket, as if he was taking out a cigarette, but he put it back after a moment.
He stood up and stood at the window, looking at the blue sky and white clouds. The scene from five years ago came to his mind, when he saw Shui Xiao for the first time.
Qin Yaling invited many friends for her birthday that day, and as her boyfriend, he was naturally among them. Because there were too many people, she went to the garden to be quiet. When she walked to the garden, she heard a female voice.
"Grandma, I get a scholarship from school and I can't use up the money. Don't be reluctant to spend the money I send you, and don't go work for others."
He walked forward involuntarily, and when he reached the corner, he saw a little girl squatting under the roses, holding a phone and talking quietly. He stopped and listened to the girl talking on the phone. In fact, he had never eavesdropped on anyone.
He was not very good at talking on the phone, but when he heard the gentle voice and the comforting tone, his curiosity stopped him from taking a step forward.
What the little girl said was nothing more than comfort. At that time, Shui Xiao should have been seventeen years old, in her prime, but she had already started running for life. The childish look on her face was that of a thirteen or fourteen year old. She was thin and skinny.
, tall, but with fair skin, a sensible and gentle face, not the kind of alluring beauty, but also a tough beauty that is unforgettable, just like the bunches of roses.
He saw Shui Xiao crying after talking on the phone, crying very repressedly. A gust of wind blew by, and the petals of the blooming roses fell one by one. The rain of flowers and the tears on her face contrasted with each other to create a heart-wrenching scene.
Shocking painting.
Every night, he would dream about this scene.
At that time, he and Qin Yaling had been dating for some time. To be honest, Qin Yaling was indeed his ideal wife at that time and they had started talking about marriage. However, for some reason, he found that Qin Yaling actually had an ambiguity with Gu Zezhi.
At that time, he was developing his career and was very busy, but after meeting Shui Xiao at Qin Yaling's house, he became a frequent visitor to Qin Yaling's house.
He often walks with Qin Yaling in the Qin family garden. At the same time, he can also see Shui Xiao busy in the garden, but she never stops what she is doing just because there is someone in the garden. She is the kind of person who is the only one in the world.
The state of one person, completing the work in hand.
Later, for a period of time, he became very busy and did not go to Qin's house for about a month. The ambiguity between Qin Yaling and Gu Ze became more and more frequent. It would be a lie to say that he didn't care. After all, at that time, he was very fond of Qin Yaling.
Invested in good feelings.
Because of his reaction, Qin Yaling was happy and paid great attention to her behavior. Seeing that she could sort things out, he agreed to the Qin family's request for an engagement. So under such circumstances, he stepped into the Qin family again and found that the Qin family had no one.
The figure of Shui Xiao was replaced by someone else.
He investigated privately and found that Shui Xiao was coaxed away for stealing the Qin family's property. The so-called property was Qin Yaling's bracelet, which appeared under her bed after Shui Xiao left.
He once went to inquire about Shui Xiao's whereabouts, but there was no trace of her in S City. Why didn't he follow her footsteps later? It was because he didn't think he would be special to a girl he only met once. After all, Qin Yaling was there at that time.
.
But what happened later, Qin Yaling was a big disappointment to everyone, and also to the Gu family. Naturally, the marriage was not consummated, and he also began to leave the country and develop his career abroad.
Abroad, he focused all his attention on his career. In three or four years, he developed the business of Qingtian Group abroad. However, he was getting older and older, and no one could get into the vacant space in his heart.
, because he felt something was wrong, he would occasionally dream of Shuixiao crying, and he couldn't figure out the reason for it.
Perhaps it was fate, but a year ago, he and Qin Bo met, and after hearing Qin Bo's WeChat message, he even called out a name, Shui Xiao.
He learned from Qin Bo about Shui Xiao's situation. This Shui Xiao was exactly the Shui Xiao in his dream, so he began to investigate and got all the information about her.
Once when he returned to China, he went to A University and saw Shui Xiao. He found that she had grown taller, but she was still thin. Her personality was as indifferent as water, and she was not warm to people around her, except for one or two close friends.
He worked several jobs every day, and later he invested an extra amount of money in the school's scholarship, all so that Shuixiao could suffer less.
Every time he returned to China, he would go to University A to see her from afar. After more than a year of watching her, he determined her character, calm and not coveting glory and wealth, unlike most female college students nowadays who are kept by rich people.
Xiaomi, she all relied on her own ability and hard work to obtain it, because there were many rich people pursuing her, Gu Ze and Qin Bo were one of them, but Qin Bo became the emotional leader and won Shui Xiao's heart.
, but she never asked Qin Bo for a penny.
It was precisely for this reason that he believed that marrying this wife would do him no harm at all, so when he returned to China, he began to use tricks to force her to marry her, but he also found that marrying her was quite difficult.
She did not abandon Qin Bo because of his better conditions than Qin Bo, which made him happy, but at the same time, she was also faintly worried that he would never have a corner in her heart with such a tough temperament.
To be honest, he didn't marry Shui Xiao because he loved her. He just felt that marrying such a wife would be safer than those rich young ladies who are greedy for pleasure, or Cinderella who is looking forward to marrying into a wealthy family.
Qin Yaling is the best example. He is busy with work and often cannot take care of his family. Marrying such a sensible girl will give him peace of mind.
Even though grandpa let her get into this situation, he still didn't change his mind.
But after marrying her, I discovered that she is really the kind of person who protects herself very tightly. She won't let anyone take advantage of her, and she is even less willing to do anything to disgrace her boyfriend.
But looking at her like this, he felt very uncomfortable. Thinking about the many women outside who wanted to be his wife, but she actually dismissed him, he became more and more angry. Every time he heard her speaking softly to Qin Bo
The sound made me really want to throw her phone.
Later, he and Yao Feifei attended a dinner party to see if she had any thoughts in her heart, but she was treated calmly and without any jealousy at all. Later in S City, he saw her eager to push him to someone else.
He was so excited about the woman that he couldn't care less about it. He only had one idea: to possess her first. Women are intimate with each other during sex, so he forced her.
He is a man, and he also hopes that his wife can pretend to be herself, but with Shui Xiao, he found it really difficult and frustrating.
This does not mean that he loves Mizumi, but it is a wish.
She broke up with Qin Bo and got drunk, which showed that she had deep feelings for Qin Bo, but as far as he knew, it was impossible for her to enter the Qin family. The Qin family always valued the other party's family background. Shui Xiao had no intention of doing anything about it.
Advantages, and also worked as a servant in the Qin family, which makes it even more difficult.
Qin Bo is a filial son and naturally respects his parents' opinions. In the United States, he had already seen Qin Bo dating the person his family identified as his wife. Only she, a fool, had been waiting.
Yesterday, when he saw her and Qin Bo hugging each other, he was angry and frustrated. She already knew that Qin Bo was dating another woman, and she still couldn't let go.
It was only in this game set by his grandfather that he learned the ultimate goal. Grandpa figured out the details of Shui Xiao early on. Grandpa's play was to redeem his father's mistakes many years ago, and grandpa also agreed to him.
As long as he can get the most important evidence, he will not interfere with who he marries, but that important evidence may be in Shui Xiao's hands.
To be honest, he didn't want to hurt Shui Xiao. Even though he didn't love her, he didn't want to hurt a defenseless woman. But the evidence related to the family, so he had to do it.
"Dong dong..." The knock on the door woke up Gu Chen who was deep in thought. He turned around and opened the ward door.
"Mr. Gu, let me take the patient's temperature now." The nurse at the door looked at Gu Chen shyly.
Gu Chen looked at the nurse's face and nodded like a gentleman, but he was thinking in his heart that if Shui Xiao could be as affectionate towards him as the nurse was, she wouldn't have entered the hospital today.
After the nurse finished everything, she smiled at Gu Chen: "Mr. Gu, the patient's body temperature has slowly dropped."
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Chen responded in a distant and polite tone.
The nurse still looked at him shyly: "You're welcome. If you need anything, just call me. I won't disturb you."
Shortly after the nurse left, Shui Xiao slowly opened her eyes and vaguely spotted a figure, but she didn't see it clearly. She softly uttered a sound: "Water."
Her voice was mute and deep, but it still fell into Gu Chen's ears. He suddenly turned around and walked towards her bed.
"You're awake. Do you want to drink water? Wait a moment." His voice was very gentle.
Shui Xiao saw clearly that it was Gu Chen, with a colorless face. She watched him go to pour water. She looked around and found that the decoration was a hospital.
Gu Chen poured a glass of water, put a straw in the cup, and brought it to Shui Xiao's mouth. Shui Xiao took the straw in his mouth without hesitation and drank most of the water in the cup.
"Thank you." She said politely.
Gu Chen was startled, but he felt relieved for a moment. He tugged his lips, put down the cup, and cast his deep eyes on her face.
