Chapter 673: Chapter 674: Don’t Recognize the Check?
Knowing where he was injured, Ling Xi suddenly spoke up from the doorway.
At the sound, Gu Qiangwei turned her gaze.
When she saw the girl standing there, her expression clearly stalled.
However, she quickly refocused on the matter of Qin Sijue’s injury, turning her head and looking at him with a touch of heartache, “You’re injured?”
Qin Sijue hooked his lip, “It’s nothing, I’ve almost fully recovered.”
He had barely finished speaking when Ling Xi hurried over, staring at Qin Sijue, “Where have your wounds healed? The doctor said you still need a few days before you can be discharged!”
Ling Xi remembered Doctor Du’s words very clearly.
And her straightforward words shifted Gu Qiangwei’s attention back to her, her clear gaze fixated on Ling Xi.
This girl, she had been with Qin Sijue?
And judging by her demeanor, she seemed to care a lot about him.
Her gaze turned to Qin Sijue, silently, just staring at him with a hint of surprise.
Feeling her gaze, Qin Sijue’s smile grew tender and indulgent, “She saved me, and because of me, her home was destroyed, so I brought her back here directly.”
She looked at him, her calm face revealing no emotion, just eager to know how he planned to arrange for this girl after bringing her to Jingcheng.
Qin Sijue hadn’t thought about that.
During the escape, the situation was critical and he naturally took her on the helicopter.
He was a man who distinguished clearly between gratitude and grudges, and if it weren’t for Ling Xi, he might not have been able to make it back to Jingcheng alive.
He turned his eyes, looking at Ling Xi, “Do you still have any family?”
Ling Xi paused, her gaze suddenly shot a glance at Gu Qiangwei.
Then, with a melancholy dip of her head, “I… am an orphan.”
The word ‘orphan’ caught Gu Qiangwei somewhat off guard.
Although she wasn’t an orphan, she could very well understand how difficult and lonely life without parents could be.
She couldn’t help but ask, “What’s your name?”
Facing her quietly smiling lips, Ling Xi was somewhat surprised, “My name is Ling Xi.”
Gu Qiangwei lowered her brows, then looked up again and asked, “Was your home destroyed because you saved Qin Sijue?”
Ling Xi instinctively paused, because up until that moment, she hadn’t known Qin Sijue’s name.
Meeting her slightly surprised look, Gu Qiangwei seemed to realize that this girl hadn’t known Qin Sijue’s name until now.
“Him.” She smiled, pointing at Qin Sijue.
Ling Xi turned her head, blurting out, “So, your name is Qin Sijue?”
Qin Sijue remained silent, his eyes deep and impenetrable.
Suddenly, Qin Sijue got up and walked towards Luo Chen, who was standing at the doorway, and then turned back a moment later, his palm holding something resembling a piece of paper.
Walking back, he directly handed a cheque to Ling Xi.
Ling Xi looked down, shocked as she received the cheque. She had never seen a cheque in real life before, only on TV, and now that it was in front of her, she could hardly recognize it, seeing only the striking figures.
Three million!? What’s this?
“What?” she looked up, staring blankly at Qin Sijue.
Qin Sijue slightly furrowed his brow, “Don’t you recognize a cheque?”
“What are you giving this to me for?”
“You saved me, this three million is enough for you to buy a nice house back in K County.”
So it was to repay her with money.
But why did seeing this money make her feel so suffocated?
