Xia Yangyang followed Gu Qichen into his office.
Once inside the office.
Xia Yangyang said, “Actually, I don’t think this is right.”
Gu Qichen chuckled, “What do you think is not right?”
Xia Yangyang said, “I mean your decision to fire Lin Yuanyuan, even though she deliberately made things difficult for me, it didn’t necessarily have to go as far as her resigning. Plus, the Lin Family is not an ordinary one…”
“I just want to ask you one thing.” Gu Qichen interrupted Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang was taken aback.
Gu Qichen asked: “Was it satisfying for you when I fired her?”
Xia Yangyang hesitated for a long time, then spit out one word: “Yes!”
Gu Qichen laughed lightly and ruffled Xia Yangyang’s hair. “Well, that’s all I need to hear. Also, this was a warning for others. Do they think they can just bully my wife? Let’s see who dares to cause you any trouble in the future.”
Gu Qichen spoke those words with an unusual casualness.
But Xia Yangyang felt as if she had been submerged in a pot of honey.
She took a step towards him and hugged him around the waist. “Husband, you’re going to spoil me .”
Gu Qichen turned around, cupped Xia Yangyang’s face, and gently placed a kiss on her forehead. “If spoiling you is what makes me happy, then so be it.”
Xia Yangyang’s heart was brimming with sweetness.
Just as the two of them were making plans to go out for a feast, Xia Yangyang received an unexpected call from Gu Mingzhu.
She said that the old man had just suffered a heart attack and had been hospitalized.
Thus, the two of them rushed to the hospital.
The old man had already been put into a VIP ward.
Seeing Gu Qichen and Xia Yangyang arrive, the old man scolded Gu Mingzhu, “I told you this is just a condition of old age. This little incident was not worth calling Chen and Yangyang about.”
Xia Yangyang came to the bed, “How can we not be told about it? If we aren’t told, we will worry even more.”
The old man, seeing Xia Yangyang’s worried expression, couldn’t help but smile. “I understand my body better than anyone. A person cannot ignore their age. But that you have come to see me, that makes me very happy.”
Gu Mingzhu, however, said, “It was fortunate that I found him in time. He had collapsed and was hardly able to draw breath. The maid at home was negligent and forgot to give dad his medicine. I’ve let her go.”
The old man replied, “You’re always making a big fuss over small things. Now the house has no one to serve tea or run errands.”
Gu Mingzhu turned to Gu Qichen, “Ah Chen, I need to go to France for a fashion show. I think you should move back home for a while. I don’t quite trust the new hires at home. We need someone to keep an eye on them regularly.”
Gu Qichen nodded: “Okay.”
On their way out of the hospital, Xia Yangyang regretted, “We should have moved back home earlier. Today was too dangerous. I can’t even imagine what would have happened if anything had gone wrong?”
Gu Qichen showed a calm expression: “Don’t worry. It’s just my sister and grandfather’s trick to draw sympathy. They pull stunts every year, hoping I’d move back home.”
Xia Yangyang was stunned, “You’re saying that the old man was faking it?”
Gu Qichen nodded: “Didn’t you see how robust he looked? And if something really happened, why wasn’t Xiao Han there?”
Perhaps he doesn’t know?
He just doesn’t want to play along.”
Xia Yangyang said, “Then why didn’t you expose him?”
Gu Qichen smiled faintly, “The old man has his pride. It would hurt him if I exposed his act, so let’s just move back for a while. It’s the least we can do for his effort.”
So, the very next day, Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen officially moved back to their previous residence, with no set date for moving out..
