Chapter 51: Medical Expenses

Chi stopped at the door, thinking to himself that he was probably still waiting here. It would be better to avoid making things complicated. 。As soon as Cheng Keixin stepped into the house, the nanny..."It's nothing." Gu Chi said calmly, giving Su Kexin a bowl of white porridge for dinner. "Eat."

Su Kexin didn't think much about it, she just sat down and ate, staring blankly into space the whole time, still thinking about her mother's medical expenses.

While Gu Chi scanned Su Ke Xin's tightly furrowed brows with an enigmatic gaze, he finally understood what troubled her.

Gu Chi picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it on Su Kexin's plate, and whispered, "Kexin, when you have time, let's go see your mother."

Su KeXin was taken aback, and she raised her eyes to look at Gu Chi in a flustered manner. She found that he was looking straight at her.

"No, it's okay..." she evaded Gu Chi's gaze, "My mom isn't feeling well lately...she needs to rest..."

Su Ke Xin's words were vague, without mentioning her mother's serious illness or the medical expenses.

Gu Chi's black eyes were slightly cold.

Over the years, he's met his fair share of women in the business world - some fleeting flings, some working girls, and even a few from wealthy families. But none of them were like her. They all liked to play the damsel in distress, relying on him for everything, whether it was a small favor or money.

But, Su Kexin was different from all of them.

Although their marriage wasn't long, she had never asked him for anything, or more precisely, she was deliberately avoiding receiving any benefits from him.

Such estrangement and distancing came out of nowhere, making Gu Chi inexplicably irritable.

"Really" A touch of displeasure colored Gu Chi's voice, making it a few degrees colder. "Well then, I wish your mother a speedy recovery."

Su Keixin frowned slightly.

What did she say wrong Why does Gu Zhi seem unhappy

But she didn't say much, just ate quietly and let Gu Chi take her to the subway station and go to work by subway.

Upon arriving at the magazine office, Su Kexin didn't go straight to her desk. Instead, she went to the finance department, trying to persuade them to pay her one month's salary in advance.

Yet, she had already prepaid for next month's salary half a month ago. Paying again would be for the following month's wages.

"Ke Xin, it's not that we don't want to help you. We know your difficulties, but we really can't decide on this matter," Xiao Zhou from the finance department said awkwardly, looking at Su Ke Xin.

Su Ke Xin's eyes darkened, just about to say something, when suddenly she heard a cold voice from behind her.

"Su Ke Xin, during work hours, why aren't you preparing for the afternoon interview and instead are you in the finance department"

At the sound, Su Kexin's heart skipped a beat. She reluctantly turned her head and saw Gu Yichen standing behind her, looking at her coldly.

"Some things," Su Keqin didn't want to say anything extra to Gu Yichan. She replied briefly and quickly walked out of the finance room.

As soon as she stepped into the corridor, Gu Yichan suddenly caught up to her, grabbed her wrist, and slammed her against the wall.

"Gu Yichan, what are you doing!" Su Ke Xin was afraid that Xiao Zhou and the others in the finance department would hear, so she could only lower her voice and say angrily.

“Do nothing.” Gu Yichan still had that mocking smile on his face, looking down at Su Ke Xin, “It’s just a concern. Why does my fiancee’s sister need to advance her wages again and again”

Su Keqin knew that her conversation with Xiao Zhou just now was probably heard by Gu Yichuan. She angrily rubbed her sore wrist, pretending to be indifferent and said, "Editor-in-Chief Gu, didn't I tell you I just want to buy a bag."

"Gu Yichen laughed bitterly, his anger reaching its peak. "Su Keixin, do you really think I'm a fool"

He just didn't believe it. If Su Keixin really wanted a bag, wouldn't Gu Chi buy it for her given how much he cared about her

She must have something urgent she needs the money for, or maybe there's something she can't tell Gu Chi.

Thinking of this, Gu Yichan's lips suddenly curved into a cruel arc. He suddenly pressed his hands on Su Ke Xin's sides against the wall, confining her whole person.

"Gu Yichan, what are you doing!" Su Keixin was a bit flustered now.

Su Ke Xin, it seems you really need this money," Gu Yi Han leaned down slightly, getting closer to Su Ke Xin. "A month's salary... I'm guessing, you probably need ten thousand yuan"

Su Keixin frowned, "This is none of your concern."

As she was about to push Gu Yichen away, his next words froze her whole body.

"Alright, you spend the night with me and I'll give you ten thousand dollars. How about it"

Su Ke Xin stared in disbelief at Gu Yi Han before her, his face twisted into a mocking sneer.

"How are you doing" Gu Yichen lowered his head, looking at Su Ke'xin's pale face. He felt a little irritable, but when he thought of yesterday she and Gu Chi flirting with each other, his anger rose uncontrollably. "You know, 10,000 yuan a night, this is far higher than the market price, you don't lose at all."

Saying that, Gu Yichan suddenly thought of something again, the sarcastic curve of his mouth deepened, “Oh, no, I forgot, you sold it at this price two years ago. But that was your first time, wasn't it The one I'm buying now... is a worn-out shoe that has been played by countless men. You should be grateful for me giving you this price—"

Smack!

Before Gu Yichan could finish his words, Su Kexin finally reached her limit. She raised her hand and slapped Gu Yichan hard across the face.

Gu Yichen hadn't expected Su Kexin to suddenly come over like that. He was completely stunned, covering his face and looking down in astonishment at the little woman on the wall.

Su Keqin's originally pale face was now flushed red with anger, her eyes filled with tears, but she gritted her teeth and refused to let them fall.

Gu Yihan only felt that his heart was hit hard.

Although his intention was to hurt Su Kexin, for some reason, seeing her like this, he couldn't feel any joy at all, only heartache.

Su Ke Xin glared at Gu Yi Han, trying her best to hold back tears. From between her teeth, she squeezed out a word at a time.

"Gu Yihan, I truly regret it, falling in love with you."

After speaking, she no longer looked at Yi Han again. She shook off his hand and quickly left the corridor.

Gu Yichan was left alone, as if his soul had been lost. He didn't know how long he had been standing there. After a while, Xiao Zhou from the finance department came out of the restroom and saw Gu Yichan, who looked just like a stone statue.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Editor Gu" Xiao Zhou jumped in fright.

Gu Yichen only then came to his senses, looking at Xiao Zhou and suddenly asking, “Xiao Zhou, do you know why Su Kexin paid out the wages in advance”

Xiao Zhou was a little embarrassed, but the other party was after all the editor-in-chief, she couldn't lie, so she could only tell the truth: "Ke Xin's mother is seriously ill and urgently needs medical expenses, that's why he had to pay in advance. Editor-in-chief, please don't blame him."

Severely ill Medical expenses

Gu Yichan never expected such an answer, and was dumbfounded for a moment.ack silently, slowly. Lu Jiting's ward was right next to Tang Lijia's. As they passed by, Lu Jiayan paused for a moment, probably also worried about his older brother.Gu Ke'yu saw that Lu Jiayan was w...
