CH 33

The phone passed around, finally reached Qin Yufei. She pretended to have a natural laughing expression and looked at the phone.

It was a private room in a fancy restaurant, a large table with many people sitting. It probably intended to take a picture of the two people, and Gu Yingjie was next to them, so they also captured him in the photo. There was a girl next to him, the same girl Qin Yufei saw last time, she was giving Gu Yingjie dishes, and Gu Yingjie smiled at her. Of course, the girl was also smiling at him.

Qin Yufei’s heart was severely wrenching. The friend beside her, who was watching with her, swiped her hand across the phone screen to show the next photo.

Next photo is everyone raising a glass. The girl is standing next to Gu Yingjie, smiling sweetly. Next one, Gu Yingjie talking to the friend next to him, the girl stuck to him to listen together, looks very harmonious and beautiful picture. The next few pictures are without them. And then the next picture is them again, do not know if someone beside them said something, Gu Yingjie is laughing, and the girl is also looking at him laughing. The next photos are without the two of them, the last few are group photos, Gu Yingjie sitting in the front row, and the girl standing behind him, holding his shoulders, together with the camera smile.

More than a dozen people in the group photo, Qin Yufei only see these two.

“Who is this girl?” Someone asked.

“Sun Yian’s sister, called Sun Yixue. His family is in the electronics business. Sun Yian was the one who robbed the jade Buddha that the Min family was interested in at the last auction. Do you remember, old man Min was furious?” The friend who broke the news said.

“Oh, I remember. She’s quite good-looking, she looks sweet and well-behaved.”

Well-behaved, my ass. Qin Yufei’s heart is very grumpy, want to steal her man, what well behaved.

“Rely on makeup.” Another friend teased.

Yes, it must be. Qin Yufei thought maliciously, certainly not as beautiful as her.

“Who is chasing who?”

“Didn’t we just say that the girl chased Young Master Gu? Now coming in pairs, it seems to be a success. The other day we had dinner together, talking about Young master Gu, her friend mentioned this. She was quite shy, said still in the effort. But listen to the tone should be a success. Pity Xiao Ting is not here, otherwise we could interview her feelings. Her ability to chase men is really weak. Look at others.”

Another friend laughed out loud. “Why are you talking about Xiao Ting? Xiao Ting is not Young Master Gu’s type. Young Master Gu likes someone who is several years younger than him, who is well behaved and sweet looking. The previous ones were all like that. He also dated an eighteen-year-old model.”

The friend who broke the story laughed: “So Xiao Ting lost at 24 years old? And she is also a well-behaved type, but not as beautiful as Young Master Gu’s girlfriends are.”

Another friend said, “Xiao Ting is good-looking, clean and smooth, but her personality is strange.”

“Why are you talking about Xiao Ting!” Qin Yufei could not listen to it anymore, put that friend’s phone on the table, and got up and said she had to go to the bathroom.

After staying in the bathroom for a while, Qin Yufei was distracted and took her cell phone to call Gu Yingjie. But the hand kept failing to press it, and finally she put the phone away. She stood in front of the mirror to fix her makeup and looked at her face. She should be more beautiful than that girl. Her family background is also better than hers, she will not lose to her.

But the words of the former scum came to mind. “You listen to me, my heart for you has not changed. I love you very much. It’s just that she has been very good to me. You know, men are also soft-hearted. It tempted me for a moment. I will never do it again. Believe me.”

A man’s heart is very soft. Qin Yufei only wanted to sneer.

Gu Yingjie never mentioned this girl. He went to a friend’s party and let that girl sit next to him. Qin Yufei felt a poisonous snake bit her heart. That former best friend had told her after falling out with her. She said she was too self-righteous. What’s the big deal about being rich? Love is something money can’t buy.

“Do you think people should like you because you can afford to buy gifts, live in a mansion, and buy a fancy car? You think you treat me well, but do you know that being your friend is very stressful? Others have to compare me with you, and you act like you don’t care. Of course, you are a Young miss. You are not afraid of being compared, but have you ever thought about the feelings of others? Everyone has to listen to you about everything. Who has ever respected my opinion? I do like him, and he likes me, so shouldn’t you look for the reasons in yourself? Qin Yufei, wake up, take a good look in the mirror. You are just a spoiled young lady, unpleasant personality, domineering, in terms of likability, in terms of charm value, you are simply at the bottom of the list. He can’t stand you at all. He never loved you. I’m gentler than you, more considerate than you, more suitable for him than you.”

Qin Yufei looked at the mirror, looking at her own face, thinking of their words. Later, the scum turned against her and changed his attitude, cursing her, and later the hypocritical best friend begged her for peace, saying that those words were really wrong, and those were not her true words. But Qin Yufei no longer wants to listen, because she can not tell the truth from the false. She can not believe every word they say anymore.

What else can she believe?

Qin Yufei took a deep breath. She said to herself: Don’t be pessimistic, Qin Yufei, don’t be pessimistic. It’s not worth it for them.

Qin Yufei turned around and walked out, and went back to her seat. The friends around the table are no longer chatting about gossip. A friend saw her back and hurried to explain: “Yufei, don’t be upset, just joking around, meant nothing about Xiao Ting.” She knew that Qin Yufei was quite protective of Yin Ting and thought she was making scowls for this.

Several other people said nothing, some looked unconcerned, but Qin Yufei did not have the heart to argue with them, only said: “It’s okay, it’s my bad, spoiling everyone’s fun, I have some headache, so I’ll go back first. This meal is on me.”

“That’s unnecessary. If you have a headache, go back and rest.” The friend who broke the news said.

Qin Yufei take the bag and go. After walking a few steps, she heard the friend whisper: “Tsk, who does not have some money, are we can not afford to eat? Making a scene and then pay the meal. Who is better than who?”

Qin Yufei’s footsteps stopped, someone saw, busy whispered: “Do not say so, she heard it.”

“Let her hear it.”

Qin Yufei stopped for two seconds, held back from losing her temper, did not turn around, and walked straight out.

This entire night, Qin Yufei’s mood is terrible. The picture of Gu Yingjie and the girl’s intimacy pierced her eyes and poked her heart. And this night Gu Yingjie did not call her, which is added fuel to the fire. She thought she should not answer the phone when he returned, but complained why he did not call.

The next day, Qin Yufei was not in good spirits and was not concentrating on work. When the meeting was held, she lost her concentration several times and could not answer the questions. Qiu Zhengqing could not stand it, said with a black face: “Manager Qin is not feeling well, it is better to have someone else, there is no reason for a room of people to cooperate with your situation.”

Qin Yufei was kicked out in public and replaced by Robert, who came to the meeting. She didn’t have the spirit to bother about her image, she just kept looking at her watch. According to Gu Yingjie, his flight was in the morning and it was almost time to land. But she waited until the afternoon, Gu Yingjie did not call her.

Qin Yufei was furious, sucked her breath, it’s fine if he didn’t call, she will never call him first. Thus, until almost four o’clock in the afternoon, her cell phone rang. This time the caller’s name was finally “Gu Yingjie”. Qin Yufei suddenly forgot her own harsh words of not answering the phone, only one ring she picked up.

The other end of the phone was a series of coughs before she could speak. Qin Yufei frowned and asked him, “Why are you still coughing?”

“Hmm.” Gu Yingjie spoke up. His voice was mute and weak. “I’m in the hospital.”

Qin Yufei was startled. “What’s wrong with you?”

“I felt a headache last night, thought it was a cold, so I took some medicine, but it turns to be fever. Couldn’t hold out after getting off the plane, and was sent to the hospital. Now it’s on an IV.”

“How many degrees is it? Is it serious? Which hospital?”

“It’s okay, don’t worry.” Gu Yingjie coughed a few more times, “It’s just that I can’t go to you today, so I’m afraid you’ll be worried, so I’ll tell you.”

“Where are you? I’m going to see you.”

Gu Yingjie reported the name of the hospital and added, “No need to come over. I’m in the IV room, it’s full of patients and germs. I’ll go back after the drip, you can come home to see me when I’m better. My sister and my mother are here. I have someone to take care of me. Don’t worry.”

Qin Yufei heard his family around, relieved and do not dare to go. Asked a few more questions, but listened to him speaking very difficult. She did not dare to say too much. After telling him must told her if something happened, the two said goodbye and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yufei is more unmotivated to work, simply go online to check the fever precautions. While looking up, she was angry. This guy, not just attracts the hearts of young girls everywhere, but also does not take good care of himself. He must have been too tired, working continuously, his body can not stand it anymore, the immune system decline, therefore he is having a fever. The more she thinks about it, the more angry she is. She really wants to scold him now. She hasn’t settled the score with him yet.

This afternoon quickly passed, in the evening, no news from Gu Yingjie. Qin Yufei can not rest assured, and give Gu Yingjie a call, but no one answered for a long time. Qin Yufei was about to hang up, the other side through.

“Yufei? It’s Yingci.”

Qin Yufei was startled. Why was it Gu Yingjie’s sister who answered?

“Is there something you need from Ah Jie?” Gu Yingci asked.

“Ah, is he there? There is a business matter I want to ask him.” Qin Yufei panicked and lied.

Gu Yingci did not doubt it, replied: “He is sick, hospitalized, sleeping after taking medicine. Is your business urgent? I’ll see if I can find someone else to help you out.”

“Ah, nothing, nothing.” Qin Yufei is anxious. Is not a fever? How come admitted to hospital? “It’s not an urgent matter, it just suddenly occurred to me, make a phone call to ask. If he is sick, he should rest well. I will find someone else to deal with.”

“Okay, then.”

“Uh, is he in serious condition? Is he burning up badly? Did you check out the problem?”

“It’s a virus, and it keeps recurring, receding and burning up again. My family is worried, so they simply let him be hospitalized. Ah Jie has been in good health since he was a child, but when he gets sick, it’s hard to get well. He worked too hard last week, running around, working overtime all day and staying up all night, and now he is sick, so simply hospitalize him for a thorough examination and rest and recuperation for a few days.”

“Oh, then I wish him a speedy recovery.” Qin Yufei pretended to be an ordinary friend and said a few polite words, then hung up.

Gu Yingci took the phone and walked back to the ward. Gu Yingjie had already been woken up: “Who called?”

“Qin Yufei. She said she had business to ask you, and I told her you were sick.”

Gu Yingjie frowned and coughed a few times. Business? What did that woman think? She could even make this up.

“Go to sleep. There is nothing wrong, and there is no hurry. She can find someone else to deal with tomorrow.” Gu Yingci looked at her watch and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with that phone call. “Huh? How did she know you were feverish? I clearly said you were sick. I didn’t say fever, right?”

Gu Yingjie stifled a laugh and closed his eyes. That stupid woman. “Then ask her.” He said.

Gu Yingci ignored her brother and said to herself, “Well, maybe I said fever too. Can’t remember.”

Gu Yingjie pulled up the quilt to cover half of his face. Sister, don’t be like this. You must have remembered correctly. It must have been she who missed her mouth. This is a rare opportunity. You can call over to question her about it. The woman’s surface is fierce, but she is now weak, scare two times may be confessed.

Unfortunately, Gu Yingci did not do so. She sat on the sofa, picked up the magazine and read it.

Gu Yingjie was disappointed.

The author has something to say.
