After showering, Yan Xi finally calmed down. She lay on the bed and could not help but think of Gu Shen’s legs.
He was a very strong-willed person. He did not want others to pity him because of his legs and stubbornly believed that he could do anything.
Just like today, he would rather be thirsty than let Yan Xi help him get water.
It would be great if Gu Shen’s legs could recover. He would no longer have to bear strange gazes from others, and his pride would not disappear because of his legs.
Unfortunately, she could not help Gu Shen with the surgery for the time being. She could only use massage and acupuncture to treat him slowly.
It would be great if Teacher Zheng Ming was here too. Zhang Ming dared to operate on people he saw for the first time.
Yan Xi felt sad when she thought of her mentor.
She did not know if she had suddenly disappeared in her original world, or if an accident had happened, or if a new person had replaced her.
She hoped it wasn’t the first scenario because she didn’t want her mentor to look for her all over the world.
Yan Xi’s thoughts were in a mess. In the end, she could not resist the drowsiness and fell asleep.
She slept soundly, but Yan Dong and Luo Yun did not sleep at all.
The left half of Luo Yun’s face had been slapped twice and was now swelling. She was in pain and hatred, and she couldn’t fall asleep at all.
Yan Dong sighed at the side. He was upset that he didn’t investigate Gu Shen earlier.
Such a rich son-in-law could definitely help the Yan family rise to be more powerful. However, he only treated Gu Shen, with an awful attitude, as an abandoned son of the Gu family.
If that was all, he could still suck up to Gu Shen and ask him to help the Yan family get some big deals.
But now it was impossible to do so because Yan Xi decided to cut ties with them and definitely would not help them anymore.
Yan Dong gritted his teeth, determined to not let Yan Xi go for the sake of Gu Shen.
…
At six in the morning, Gu Shen opened his eyes. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and sat by the bed, waiting for Gu Yi’s help.
Five minutes later, Gu Yi appeared at the door on time. He knocked on the door and entered, helping Gu Shen into the wheelchair.
“I’ve already taught the people from Jin Sen a lesson. The other one that wants the land is Sheng Huai. Their bid is 340 million.” It was 100 million more than the contract Gu Shen had signed with Jin Sen. It was no wonder that Jin Sen wanted to break the contract.
“What do they want to do with that land?”
“I’m not sure. Probably built an amusement park.”
Gu Shen nodded and instructed, “Send more people to keep an eye on the Yan family. If there’s any movement, remember to inform me.”
“Yes.”
At nine o’clock, Yan Xi came downstairs. She yawned and slowly walked towards the dining room.
Two servants were whispering beside the sink.
“The kitchen might have been robbed yesterday, and it’s a stupid thief.”
Yan Xi pricked up her ears. Was there a thief? She clearly didn’t see any thieves yesterday.
“Exactly,” another person agreed. “He doesn’t even know how to cook dumplings. He wasted those good dumplings the cook made.”
This thief sounded familiar to Yan Xi.
“Don’t bring this up. The cook is pissed off because of this. It is incredible that there are still people who don’t know how to cook dumplings. That pot was directly boiled into meat soup.”
Yan Xi felt extremely hurt by these comments. She walked over expressionlessly from behind the two and saw their names on the name tag.
Xiaolan, Xiaoyue.
Yan Xi silently noted it down and planned to let these two people cook dumplings for her and pick on them.
Before she could make it happen, she was called over by Gu Shen again.
“Grandpa wants us to make a trip home this weekend. Be prepared.”
“Okay..” Yan Xi said, “I also need your help with something.”
