Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Noble Lady vs. Reborn Foster Daughter (Part 11)
Gu Shengyin woke up to find herself back in her own room at home.
“System,” she called out to the system, “what happened after I passed out?”
The system directly played a series of images in Gu Shengyin’s mind, starting from when her consciousness became blurred until Cheng Boxuan carried her away.
Gu Shengyin wanted to cover her face.
Not only did she cling to someone unwilling to let go, but she even let Yuen Hang give her a bath!
She felt awkward just watching the playback and could imagine what Yuen Hang must have felt at the time.
Gu Shengyin decided that since she had passed out then, she knew nothing about it.
“However, I still don’t know if Yuen Hang is really Ji Yu or not,” Gu Shengyin felt a bit troubled.
“Xi Xi, baby, you’re awake?” Mrs. Cheng pushed the door open and came in, very happy to see Gu Shengyin awake, “Boxuan said you drank too much, and he was worried you would feel uncomfortable, so he even insisted on calling Doctor Jiang over to have a look. This child, making a fuss over such a trivial matter and having Doctor Jiang come all this way in such hot weather.”
While Mrs. Cheng complained, her eyes clearly showed satisfaction with her eldest son’s actions.
Doctor Jiang is the private doctor of the Cheng family. Gu Shengyin understood that probably Cheng Boxuan didn’t tell Mrs. Cheng about the drugging incident.
“I’m fine now,” Gu Shengyin quickly got up from the bed and even deliberately turned in a circle on the spot to show she was in good condition now.
Mrs. Cheng said with a smile, “That’s good. The Yuen family’s two sons have come to visit your father. You should take some time to get along with Yuen Hang.”
The matter between Cheng Xizhi and Yuen Hang was an open secret in both families, and Father Cheng and Mrs. Cheng never thought of hiding it from Cheng Xizhi.
In their eyes, Yuen Hang was handsome and polite to elders, making him a good choice for a husband. But it would be best if Xi Xi liked him too. If Xi Xi really didn’t want to, they wouldn’t force their precious daughter to marry a man she didn’t like.
Gu Shengyin’s eyes lit up. Yuen Hang was here too?
Mrs. Cheng saw her daughter’s eyes sparkle at her words and thought her daughter was looking forward to meeting Yuen Hang, feeling greatly relieved in her heart. It seemed the person they chose for their daughter wasn’t wrong after all.
Gu Shengyin went to the front hall and indeed saw Yuen Hang and Yuan Xu sitting there, with her brothers Cheng Qixuan and Cheng Yiru also by their side.
“Xi Xi, you’re awake?” Cheng Qixuan immediately got up and came over to Gu Shengyin as soon as he spotted his sister descending the stairs, stretching out his hand to touch her forehead and only relaxing when he felt she didn’t have a fever.
Gu Shengyin greeted both men.
Yuan Xu was indifferent to everyone while Yuen Hang, on the other hand, was somewhat indifferent to Gu Shengyin.
Cheng Qixuan frowned at this.
“Cheng Xizhi, I have something to say to you.”
While Gu Shengyin was on the balcony admiring a new flowering potted plant, she heard Yuen Hang’s words.
“If Second Young Master Yuen has something to say, feel free to speak,” Gu Shengyin said indifferently without turning her head.
The tone of Yuen Hang was not pleasant, and Gu Shengyin was not one to repay evil with kindness.
“My older brother said Yiru drugged you, trying to harm you. Yiru is so kind, how could he possibly do such a thing? Did you say something bad about Yiru to my older brother?” Yuen Hang questioned.
Gu Shengyin straightened up, seriously sizing up Yuen Hang for the first time since she arrived in this world for her mission.
Cultured and elite, indeed he looked like a top-notch gentleman; he didn’t seem to be someone with a problematic mind.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Yuen Hang felt uncomfortable under Gu Shengyin’s gaze.
