Chapter 34: Qin Corporation Bankrupt

Gu Yan Zhi sat beside her, taking her hand, and gently brushed her slightly messy hair behind her ear. He looked at her pale face, filled with heartache, “Does the wound still hurt? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Have you eaten?”

He asked three questions in a row, showing his worry and heartache. Ruan Yu reached out, covering his cheek, and answered each of Gu Yan Zhi’s questions seriously, “The wound doesn’t hurt anymore, I’m not feeling uncomfortable, and I’ve eaten. Auntie had Zhang Shen send it over.”

She looked at the thermos on the bedside table, then smiled, “But I’m not full, I want to drink lotus root and pork bone soup, Yan Zhi Ge Ge, feed me.”

She opened the thermos for Yan Zhi, scooped out a small bowl, and used a soup spoon to scoop out a spoonful. She blew on it gently, feeling that the temperature was just right before carefully placing it to Ruan Yu’s lips.

Ruan Yu drank the soup from his hand. Although Gu Yan Zhi didn’t say anything, she could feel his guilt and worry.

He wasn’t good with words, everything was in the details.

Ruan Yu drank a small bowl of lotus root and pork bone soup, “Yan Zhi Ge Ge, I can’t drink anymore, you have some.”

She knew clearly that Gu Yan Zhi hadn’t eaten lunch and came here. Thinking of this, Ruan Yu couldn’t help but feel heartache. He was such a fool, he didn’t know how to take care of himself.

Gu Yan Zhi looked at Ruan Yu deeply, he hummed in agreement.

Ruan Yu stared at Gu Yan Zhi, watching him finish the soup, then she smiled again. The news was playing on the TV in the ward, a female official voice sounded, “Nancheng’s Qin Corporation suddenly went bankrupt overnight. No one knows what happened behind the scenes. A billion-dollar company has fallen from grace.”

She was attracted by the news, she watched for a few seconds. She knew about Qin Corporation. In the previous life, Qin Corporation had regarded Gu Yan Zhi as a thorn in their side. That time when Gu Yan Zhi was injured, the mastermind behind it was Qin Corporation, but this time, she had disrupted their plans.

In the previous life, when Gu Yan Zhi found out who was behind it, he only made Qin Corporation pay a heavy price. It didn’t go bankrupt, but it lost a few partners and a few big projects. Qin Corporation became an empty shell company.

This time, she changed Gu Yan Zhi’s fate, and Qin Corporation went bankrupt overnight. There was no doubt that Gu Yan Zhi did it.

After all, Qin Corporation’s position in Nancheng was unshakable. The only one who could have done something like this was Gu Yan Zhi, but everyone knew it and didn’t say anything.

Ruan Yu also guessed it. Gu Yan Zhi did it for her. He wouldn’t let anyone who hurt her go, he had always been like this since he was a child.

Gu Yan Zhi followed Ruan Yu’s gaze, when he saw the words “Qin Corporation” on the screen, his eyes turned dark and bloodthirsty.

“Yan Zhi Ge Ge.”

As Ruan Yu called out to Gu Yan Zhi in a sweet voice, the moment he turned around, the ruthlessness and bloodthirst in his eyes disappeared, leaving only gentleness, doting, and heartache.

The girl smiled sweetly at him, patting the space beside her, “Take a nap with A-Yu.”

A subtle smile appeared on Gu Yan Zhi’s lips, he reached out and rubbed her head, “Okay.”

He lay down beside Ruan Yu. How could he not know what the little girl beside him was up to? Actually, she didn’t want to sleep, she was just afraid that he hadn’t rested well.

Ruan Yu didn’t ask about Qin Corporation. Anyone who wanted to hurt the person she cared about most deserved to die, they didn’t deserve sympathy.

She felt a strong gaze on her face. She turned sideways and met Gu Yan Zhi’s gaze, she chuckled, “Is it because I’m too beautiful, Yan Zhi Ge Ge can’t take his eyes off me?”

Ruan Yu teased him. Gu Yan Zhi’s expression didn’t change, “A-Yu is the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”

Ruan Yu covered his lips and lightly pecked them, “Close your eyes, sleep, good afternoon.”

Gu Yan Zhi carefully held her in his arms, afraid of touching the wound on her arm, afraid of hurting her, “A-Yu, good afternoon.”

Ruan Yu obediently nestled in Gu Yan Zhi’s arms, motionless. After a while, she heard his even breathing. She looked up at him, her lips curled up.

His even breathing was like a lullaby. Ruan Yu, who wasn’t sleepy at first, wanted to stay with Gu Yan Zhi, but in the end, she fell asleep listening to his even breathing.

When she woke up again, Gu Yan Zhi was gone.

She opened her phone and saw a message from Gu Yan Zhi, 【I’ll be back at five.】

Ruan Yu didn’t know where he had gone, maybe he had something important to deal with.

A bodyguard knocked on the door, saying that a Miss Mu was outside and asked if Ruan Yu knew her.

Ruan Yu thought it was Mu Luoxi, so she told the bodyguard to let her in.

Because of her injury this time, Gu Yan Zhi was extremely nervous. There were dozens of bodyguards guarding outside the door, no one was allowed to get close, even her close friends had to be confirmed twice before they could enter her ward.

Mu Luoxi came in and looked at Ruan Yu in the bed, her eyes filled with worry, “A-Yu, are you okay? Who is so cruel, they went for the kill.”

The coffee shop was about to open, so she had resigned. She originally wanted to go find Ruan Yu to discuss the coffee shop’s arrangements, but when she arrived at the Gu residence, Tang Ma told her that Ruan Yu was injured and in the hospital, so she rushed over in a panic.

When she saw the bodyguards at the door of the ward, she knew that this wasn’t simple, otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a big deal.

Ruan Yu didn’t intend to hide it from Mu Luoxi, “I’m fine, I just got stabbed in the arm with a dagger, I’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”

A dagger? Stabbed in the arm?

Was this a small matter? Why did she sound so casual, as if it wasn’t her arm that was stabbed.

“Ruan Yu, you were stabbed in the arm, not the brain. Why do you sound a little excited?” Mu Luoxi felt a little relieved after hearing her relaxed tone.

It was undeniable that Ruan Yu was quite happy, because her actions had minimized the damage.

Because in the previous life, Gu Yan Zhi had been in the intensive care unit for half a month because of this incident. He had been on the verge of death many times, and he had been resuscitated countless times in those half a month. Everyone thought he was hopeless, but in the end, he survived because he was lucky.

And this time, many things were changing. She was very scared. What if Gu Yan Zhi was injured this time, what if he didn’t end up safe and sound like last time?

She wouldn’t mind even if her arm was crippled, let alone just being stabbed.

Ruan Yu said, “That dagger was aimed at Gu Yan Zhi. If I hadn’t rushed forward, Gu Yan Zhi might have lost half his life. Now I’m just injured in the arm, it’s worth it, shouldn’t I be happy?”

Mu Luoxi looked at her with resentment, what was going on? She had come to care for and comfort the patient, but now she was being fed a mouthful of dog food, “It’s worth being happy when neither of you are injured. What’s so happy about this?”
