Aunt Zhou watched her leave with a downcast demeanor, worried about what had happened to the girl.
Having heard nothing from Beiming Han all day, Gu Qingxin decided to give him a call. Since Beiming Han called her previously, his number was in her call history, even though it was not saved in her contacts.
Gu Qingxin hesitated for a moment before making the call. After a few rings, the call was answered, and a sweet voice came through.
Gu Qingxin recognized her as Beiming Han’s secretary. Lian Qingruo, the secretary, explained that the CEO was in a meeting and couldn’t answer the call, but if Gu Qingxin had something to say, she could leave a message, and Lian Qingruo would pass it on.
Having no other choice, Gu Qingxin said it was nothing, then disappointedly ended the call.
After school, Gu Qingxin visited her mother in the hospital. Lin Yin was recovering well, and the doctor said she could be discharged soon.
“Qingxin, what’s wrong? You seem distracted.” Lin Yin noticed her daughter’s preoccupation.
“Alt!” Gu Qingxin accidentally cut her finger while slicing fruit, and blood immediately gushed out.
“Oh dear, you must be more careful! Quickly get a plaster from the nurse.” Lin Yin anxiously handed her daughter a few tissues.
Gu Qingxin pressed the tissue against her bleeding finger, saying, “Mom, I’ll go get a plaster.”
Gu Qingxin walked to the nurse’s station and asked for a plaster. After patching up her wound, she asked, “Excuse me, where is Dr. Bai Jingqing’s office?”
“Dean Bai? His office is on the top floor.”
“So Dr. Bai is the Dean.” Gu Qingxin had no idea.
The nurse chuckled, “Dr. Bai is more than just the Dean. He owns this hospital.”
Gu Qingxin felt rather ignorant.
When she arrived at the dean’s office, a young nurse sat at the reception desk. The nurse asked, “Can I help you, miss?” as she approached.
“I am here to see Dean Bai, is he in?” Gu Qingxin went up to ask.
“Do you have business with Dean Bai?”
“Well, do you have an appointment with Dean Bai? He’s currently in a meeting.”
It seemed an appointment was necessary to see Bai Jingqing.
“Could you please give him a call for me and tell him Gu Qingxin is here? Thank you.”
The receptionist was pleasant. She called Bai Jingqing and after a brief conversation, she stood up and said, “Dean Bai will see you now.”
After expressing gratitude, Gu Qingxin walked into Bai Jingqing’s office as a few people walked out.
“Miss Gu, please have a seat.” Bai Jingqing stood up and started to pour her a glass of water.
“Did 1 interrupt you?” Gu Qingxin felt a bit guilty as she settled onto the sofa.
“Not at all. Did you want to speak to me about something?” Bai Jingqing placed the water in front of her and sat down.
“I…1 just wanted to ask about…how is Mr. Beiming Han…”
“Miss Gu, you want to ask about my older brother, don’t you?”
“1 know I’m in the wrong, and I want to apologize to him. I just don’t know how.” Gu Qingxin nervously looked up at him, feeling desperate.
“Just be sincere in your apology.”
“Oh, right. How’s the wound on your back? 1 have a very effective spray medication here. Spray it on the swollen area, and it will work quickly.” Standing up, Bai Jingqing walked over to one of his drawers and handed Gu Qingxin a box..
