Chapter 490 What right does he have to hurt you?
Nanxing found it laughable that she had once fantasized about replacing Lu Mingzhu and that Fu Yunchuan would gradually fall in love with her.
How incredibly stupid could she have been to have such a thought? It's truly laughable.
Looking at the faint smile on Nanxing's face, Feng Jiejie felt a pang of heartache and her eyes stung. She pulled Nanxing into her arms.
"Why is he being so unfair to you? If he couldn't do what he said back then, why did he say those things to you? What right does he have to hurt you? What gives him the right?"
Feng Jiejie's voice choked with heartache. Why was Nanxing, whom she had cherished for so many years, being bullied by Fu Yunchuan time and time again?
She now deeply regrets not burning down Fu Yunchuan and Yun Garden back then; she shouldn't have been soft-hearted because of Old Madam Fu and Madam Fu.
They should just burn a barrel of gasoline!
Nanxing rested his chin on Feng Jiejie's shoulder, a genuine smile on his face.
"Don't be sad. I have your love and care, that's enough for me. That's all in the past. I'm not sad at all, really."
How could Feng Jiejie possibly believe that Nanxing wasn't sad at all?
“Or we can just ask Fu Yunchuan directly, why did he have to say something he couldn’t do back then? Was it fun to lie to you back then? He really has no heart!” She released Nanxing and looked into Nanxing’s eyes as she spoke.
Nanxing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she shook her head firmly.
"No, if I bring this up now, it will only make him and Lu Mingzhu laugh at me. He doesn't even remember me from back then, and I've never mentioned it in all these years. Now that I know Lu Mingzhu saved Fu Yunchuan, if I bring this up again, how will they laugh at me?"
“I’m not that despicable or spineless. Just consider what happened before as me saving a dog. Don’t mention to him that I saved him, or they’ll think I’m trying to blackmail him.”
"But I feel indignant on your behalf!"
"There's nothing to be resentful about. I think it's great, don't worry."
Under Nanxing's insistence, Feng Jiejie had no choice but to agree, but she always felt indignant for Nanxing and thought it was not worth it.
She knew that Nanxing had once felt secretly pleased that she and Fu Yunchuan had a past that no one else knew or even knew about, which made them different.
Even after the car accident, Nanxing hated Fu Yunchuan but not the Fu Yunchuan she had only met once as a child. In Nanxing's heart, the Fu Yunchuan from her childhood was different.
Nanxing never expected that she would end up just like everyone else. How could she not be sad? She just chose to bury her sadness inside.
"Okay, when do you plan to go? You need to bring someone with you, or I'll go with you. I'm worried about you going alone."
"No, you can't come with me. What if you come to the company with me? Besides, if you come with me, it'll be easy for us to give ourselves away."
"As for me, I certainly won't go alone. I'll have Gu Yihe find a reliable person to accompany me."
"But can we trust Gu Yihe's people?" Feng Jiejie was still a little worried.
"It's not a big problem. He's basically asking me for a favor now, so he won't let anything happen to me and will do everything he can to protect me. Otherwise, what would be the point of him talking to me twice?"
Nanxing wasn't worried about this matter, especially since her master was there and Gu Yihe wouldn't dare let anything happen to her.
"By the way, let Amy or Lin Ke go along too. Amy is the most suitable. Anyway, you two always do things together, and he is your assistant. I think it's just right for him to go with you."
Feng Jiejie felt that no matter what, Amy was one of their people, and she would feel much more at ease if Amy accompanied Nanxing.
"No need," Nanxing shook his head. "Amy's mother hasn't been doing well lately, and Amy has been feeling down too. I asked my senior brother to visit Amy whenever he has time."
So I can't contact either of them right now, otherwise I'm afraid I might accidentally cause Amy a lifelong regret."
"You mean... Amy's mother might..."
"They just said the situation wasn't good, but Amy didn't want us to get too involved. She just said to let his mother live out her remaining days in peace."
"I heard from my senior that the situation isn't looking good, and I might not have much time left. Besides, I've been keeping it from everyone. If I ask them to come with me, wouldn't that give me away?"
Feng Jiejie didn't know what to say for a moment, but she also gave up the idea of having Amy or Lin Ke accompany Nanxing.
Just as Nanxing said, it is indeed not appropriate for the two of them to accompany us at this time.
But she was still a little worried, so she had to talk to Gu Yihe. She couldn't just stand by and watch Nanxing get into trouble like she did back then.
Gu Yihe was busy until almost dawn last night dealing with those scumbags and their company. He thought he would go back and sleep for a few hours before going to the hospital to see Feng Jiejie.
The reason he didn't rush over early in the morning was because he knew Nanxing was guarding the place, and if he went too early, he would disturb their rest.
However, he didn't expect that when he woke up after sleeping for a few hours, he would receive the message that Feng Jiejie had been discharged from the hospital. Not only did she not wait for him to come over, but she didn't even ask about him, and there were no phone calls or messages.
He chuckled. Feng Jiejie wanted to stay away from him? Impossible.
After what happened to Feng Jiejie last night, he realized even more clearly how much he cared about and liked her—no, it was more like he loved her.
If something had happened to Feng Jiejie yesterday, he would never forgive himself.
Now that he realized how important Feng Jiejie was to him, how could he bear to let her go?
After making a phone call to order some light lunch, Gu Yihe went back to the company to handle some work. Around lunchtime, he took the lunch he had ordered in advance to Xingchen to find Feng Jiejie.
If Feng Jiejie hides, then he will find her.
Nanxing left before lunch. After finishing some urgent work, Feng Jiejie twisted her stiff neck.
Since Nanxing came over and talked to her about some things, she no longer had any worries about Gu Yihe on her mind.
No, there is still someone who wants to settle scores with Gu Yihe and make sure Gu Yihe protects Nanxing.
She picked up her phone from the side, found Gu Yihe's number, and dialed it directly.
She wanted to go to the Gu Group to find Gu Yihe after get off work that evening. As for why she didn't go outside, it was mainly because she didn't want too many people to see her and gossip. Going to the company would allow her to say that she was discussing cooperation.
But instead of the phone being answered, she saw Gu Yihe walk in from the door.
"What? You finally remembered I was going to call you?" Gu Yihe smiled, holding the insulated box in one hand and waving the still-ringing phone at Feng Jiejie with the other.
Feng Jiejie frowned subconsciously, not expecting Gu Yihe to come over.
But the next second she relaxed her brow and hung up the phone. Perfect, she didn't need to make a special trip to find it.
Gu Yihe raised an eyebrow in surprise when he saw that Feng Jiejie didn't speak. He then closed the office door with his foot, went in, and put the lunchbox on the coffee table.
Feng Jiejie also got up and walked over. She didn't understand what Gu Yihe was going to do with such a big food box.
Gu Yihe carefully observed Feng Jiejie's expression as she approached and asked with concern,
"Why were you discharged so quickly? Are you sure you're alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. Of course I'll be discharged as soon as I'm all better," Feng Jiejie replied casually, then sat down on the sofa.
"But what brings you here, Mr. Gu?"
Hearing Feng Jiejie's still businesslike tone, Gu Yihe smiled silently and sat down next to her.
"What? Can't I come over? Didn't you just call me? Weren't you looking for me? Now that I'm here, why are you unhappy?"
The two were only a hand's width apart. The faint scent of Gu Yihe's perfume wafted into her nostrils, causing Feng Jiejie to stiffen slightly and move away.
Gu Yihe smiled again at her actions, his eyes full of helplessness.
"Am I some kind of monster that you're avoiding me like the plague? Like I said before, didn't you call me? Weren't you looking for me?"
His tone was full of teasing, and Feng Jiejie rolled her eyes at him. How could she not tell that Gu Yihe was mocking her?
"Yes, I did want to talk to you because I have something to tell you."
"If you want to thank me for what happened last night, then you don't need to say it. I'm willing to do it myself. I don't need to say thank you, and I don't need you to bring it up."
Gu Yihe's serious gaze fell on Feng Jiejie's face. At this moment, Feng Jiejie could clearly see her reflection in Gu Yihe's eyes, as well as some emotions that she did not want to understand.
Her throat bobbed, and she looked back at Gu Yihe with a calm expression.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Gu was wrong. I'm not talking about what happened last night, but about something else."
Gu Yihe raised an eyebrow.
"However, we really owe a great deal to you, Mr. Gu, for what happened last night. I was thinking of visiting you in person to express my gratitude when you have some free time or it's convenient for you, Mr. Gu, but right now..."
"In that case, let's do it next week." Gu Yihe seemed to know what Feng Jiejie was going to say and interrupted her directly.
"What?" Feng Jiejie was startled, and the calm expression on her face cracked slightly.
She had originally intended to thank Gu Yihe in person since he was coming today, so as to avoid bothering him later. However, Gu Yihe had already chosen a time and did not give her a chance to continue.
"What? You don't want to? Didn't you just say you wanted to thank me in person? Are you going to change your mind now?" Gu Yihe looked at her with a smile on his lips.
He genuinely had no intention of getting anything out of Feng Jiejie based on what happened last night, or of getting her to compromise with him.
But now that Feng Jiejie has taken the initiative to speak, he has no reason not to respond.
"Of course not!" Feng Jiejie looked at Gu Yihe with a forced smile. "But why does it have to be next week?"
"It's my father's birthday next Tuesday, so if you come over then, it will save me some time. I've been quite busy these past few days."
Upon hearing that it was Gu Yihe's father's birthday, Feng Jiejie's expression changed slightly.
"It will be your father's birthday that day, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go. Perhaps you could reschedule, Mr. Gu?"
"I am the one you should thank, and of course I decide when it's time and whether it's appropriate."
Gu Yihe's words were pointed, and the seriousness in his eyes never diminished from beginning to end.
Feng Jiejie's heart skipped a beat for a moment. She seemed to understand the deeper meaning behind Gu Yihe's question about whether they were suitable or not.
She steadied herself and calmly replied, "Okay, since it's your request, Mr. Gu, I will definitely keep the appointment and personally come to thank you!"
She knew all too well that she had to thank him and do as Gu Yihe said, otherwise she was afraid that Gu Yihe would keep using this matter to make all sorts of demands of her.
Even if Gu Yihe didn't ask for it, she would always keep it in her mind, and it would make her feel uneasy. So this time she admitted it, and it was indeed Gu Yihe who saved her.
But that’s all.
Gu Yihe's smile deepened as he reached out and opened the insulated box he had brought.
Feng Jiejie paused for a moment when she saw his actions.
"Mr. Gu, I haven't finished what I wanted to say yet."
"We can talk about anything after we finish eating. It's lunchtime, and I'm hungry. I didn't eat breakfast, and I'm really hungry."
Gu Yihe laid out all the dishes he had brought.
Feng Jiejie was so angry that her composure, which she had been maintaining, completely collapsed.
"Gu Yihe! Can't you at least let me finish? If you're hungry, go home and eat! This isn't a place for you to eat!"
When he heard Feng Jiejie finally call his name in a fit of anger, Gu Yihe's smile deepened.
"So you finally know to call me by my name? You're no longer pretending to be a stranger and calling me President Gu? I still prefer to hear you call me by my name, not the so-called President Gu. It feels too unfamiliar, and it makes me feel uncomfortable."
He didn't even look at Feng Jiejie as he spoke; he simply laid out the last two dishes.
Feng Jiejie was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, Gu Yihe stuffed a pair of wooden chopsticks into her hand.
"No matter what you want to say to me, you have to finish eating first, otherwise I won't listen to you."
"you……"
"I specifically asked someone to order these dishes to be light, so they're suitable for you to eat now."
Gu Yihe placed another bowl of pork rib soup in front of Feng Jiejie before looking up at her.
"Eat up, and I'll listen to whatever you want to say after you finish eating."
Feng Jiejie gripped her chopsticks tightly, her gaze falling on the row of dishes laid out in front of her.
Stir-fried asparagus, steamed grouper, stir-fried shrimp with snow peas, poached chicken, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, and finally a corn and pork rib soup.
These dishes are all very ordinary home-style dishes, and the flavors are very light, which is indeed suitable for Feng Jiejie to eat now.
She pursed her lips, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat without saying a word.
She knew Gu Yihe wasn't joking; he wouldn't listen to her if she didn't eat.
Moreover, it would be a shame not to eat such good food, and it would be shameful to waste it.
Seeing Feng Jiejie finally pick up her chopsticks, Gu Yihe's smile softened.
"Eat more." Gu Yihe placed a piece of fish on her plate.
