Chapter 10 - Her head is hurting.

Gu Zhang could sense Xingren's nervousness and the way she panicked when Han Zihao talked about bringing the CCTV footage.

He is not stupid. He is running the Gu enterprises for years, so he knows how to assess the situation. If Xingren is innocent, then she would not have reacted like this.

If she has not done anything, then she would not mind if Han Zihao brought the CCTV footage. She should be glad for Han Zihao to offer a solution to bring the footage, this will prove her innocence after all.

However, he couldn't ask her about this in front of Xu Nuan. He accepts it or not, he still treats Xu Nuan as an outsider and never really believed that she is his biological daughter.

He is just fulfilling his duty by keeping Xu Nuan in the house since his father brought her back from the orphanage. He has no option other than to take her in.

Even if Xingren has done something wrong, he would never call her off in public and humiliate his daughter. The best thing he could do right now is to ask Xu Nuan what she wants.

He knows that she doesn't have big ambitions, so it's better to shut her mouth by using some money. If this issue can be solved easily then why go the hard way?

However, when he asked this question, Lin Ran shouted and stared at him as if he had done something terrible.

He could feel his wife's feelings as well. She doesn't want him to make a deal with Xu Nuan. This will only confirm that Xingren has done something wrong.

Even though she doesn't want to accept, but he can see that Xingren was indeed hiding something. And the settlement is the best option for all at this moment.

Xu Nuan raised her brows when she heard this question, a smile popped up on her face as she said, " What do I want? Hmm, so Mr. Gu wants to settle this matter like this. Seems like you also believe that I am saying the truth." She laughed but soon furrowed her brows.

She gritted her teeth as laughing seemed difficult at this moment. Since she just had an operation three days ago, her stitches have not healed yet, and even laughing seems to be painful.

" Ah, #&[email protected]$" she cursed in a low voice when the pain made her difficult to breathe.

"-_-"

"-_-"

Gu Zhang was speechless when he heard her cursing. Even though Xu Nuan came from the orphanage, she has a very timid and gentle personality.

She never talks back neither talks in a loud voice, swearing was out of the syllabus. But he was surprised seeing her cursing so casually.

Since he was talking to her earlier, he wondered if she was cursing at him.

Han Zihao who was standing on the side raised his brows hearing her crude words. Swearing is not something that big but hearing it from someone who is supposed to be timid and gentle, feels different, and that too in front of her parents.

" Xu Nuan, you're cursing at me? At your father?" Gu Zhang could not believe his ears.

Xu Nuan raised her head slowly and shot him an annoyed look.

She is already bearing the pain and here this annoying man keeps asking questions.

' Does she really have to deal with all of this on the day she just woke up from her long sleep?'

Just as she was about to say something, someone knocked on the hospital door and a nurse entered.

" Ms. Xu, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere or need something?"

"-_-"

Xu Nuan was speechless when the nurse asked this out of nowhere. She was still figuring out what's happening when she heard a rare voice from the side.

" Her head is hurting. " Before Xu Nuan could say anything, Han Zihao replied nonchalantly.

While saying this, his expressions did not change and remained indifferent as always.

At that time she realized that he had called the nurse using the switch on the side. Did he notice that she was uncomfortable?

The nurse was surprised when the handsome man suddenly spoke. Her actions became polite and gentle, she walked towards Xu Nuan and checked her bandage if it needed to be changed.

" Your stitches are perfectly fine. But since they are still fresh, you need to be careful and avoid doing any movements. I am giving you this antibiotic. This will help in reducing your pain as well." The nurse said politely while giving her the pill from her medicines.

After the nurse finished, Xu Nuan asked, " Sister, am I allowed to eat now?"

She woke up from the coma after three days, even though she was given glucose for energy, she was still hungry. She needs food, but rather than asking to eat something, Xu Nuan's parents are asking her what she wants to settle this matter.

" I think you can start eating since all of the tests have been done and the doctor has not recommended you to do fasting. But you can't eat solid or oily food. You can have porridge, yogurt, or juices. For a few days you need to follow the recommended diet because you were in the comatose earlier and had an operation, your body could not handle fatty foods yet." the nurse said while checking the file which was placed on the side table.

Xu Nuan frowned but nodded anyway. She doesn't like porridge but does she have any choice?

" Do you want me to send your food?" the nurse asked because many patients do not like to eat hospital food, so their family arranges their meals as instructed. She also asked thinking the same.

The nurse glanced at Lin Ran since she is her mother but the latter turned her head away.

"-_-"

The nurse was about to say that she will send the food from the canteen when she heard Xu Nuan's words, " There is no need. I will get someone to bring my meal."

The nurse glanced at Gu Zhang and nodded before leaving.

" Xu Nuan, don't even think about it. I am not bringing food to you. If you want to eat, ask the canteen to send some. Why are you being so picky?" Lin Ran said irritatingly.

She was already pissed off from her, how can she arrange food for her in this mood?
