Chapter 88 In Front of Me, No Need to Force Yourself
d for a moment her heart couldn't help but be moved. 。"Don't be swayed, don't be swayed, absolutely don't let yourself fall for something so trivial... " She repeated the mantra in her heart, Cheng K...In the meeting room, the finance manager who was originally reporting on this quarter's profits saw Gu Chi suddenly turn gloomy and broke out in a cold sweat.
Could it be that there's something wrong with the report But no, profits have increased by several percentage points, haven't they
The supervisor wiped his sweat and reported the last bit of information, carefully asking Gu Chi: "Gu General, may I ask... do you have any questions"
Silence.
Gu Chi seemed to not have heard the manager's report at all, merely nodding his head, his cold gaze fixed on the phone screen on the table.
On her phone, it was Su Kexin's WeChat.
Gu Chi, I've moved back home to take care of Mom after she gets out of the hospital.
The simplest tone of voice could make Gu Chi's chest fire burn fiercely upward.
Your own home
Shouldn't her home be the same as his
This woman really knows how to provoke his anger!
Gu Chi's silence, however, caused panic among those present. All the department heads present, who were usually at the top of their game, were now looking at Gu Chi with fear, terrified that he was unhappy with their performance this quarter.
Time passed by every second, and just when everyone felt like their backs were soaked with sweat, Gu Chi finally lifted his head.
Everyone thought he was going to comment on the current quarter's earnings, but unexpectedly, he just blurted out, "Meeting adjourned for today. We'll continue tomorrow."
Having said that, he completely ignored the shocked gazes around him and directly wheeled his wheelchair away from the conference room.
Even Yang Zu was stunned at that moment, he was dumbfounded for several seconds before hurriedly chasing after him.
"顧少," he quickly caught up to Gu Zhi, "What's the big deal Did something happen to our nuclear power plant in Japan Or a hurricane at our power plant in America"
In his mind, Gu Chi interrupting a meeting meant something huge had happened.
Gu Zhi just suddenly stopped his wheelchair and looked at him coldly, "Yang Zuo, find out where Su Kexin's family lives."
"The mistress's family" Yang Zuo was dumbfounded.
Ke Guchi had already stopped paying attention to him, simply sliding his wheelchair away again and coldly tossing out a sentence, "When we find out, we'll go right away."
……
At this very moment, Su Keqin, carefully feeding Su Yaofen at home, was completely unaware that her single text message had ignited such fury in the man.
She bought all kinds of congee and soup from outside, but she didn't expect that the congee made by this restaurant was simply cold rice mixed with water, hard and tough. Su Ya-fen ate a few mouthfuls and couldn't eat any more.
Su Ke Xin was getting a little anxious now, she took a handkerchief and wiped her mother's mouth. "Mom, you haven't eaten much, I'll go buy you some more."
Saying that, she got up and put on her coat.
Su Yaofen frowned, "It's almost ten o'clock, where can I still buy you dinner."
"But you can't go without eating either, how about this If there are no hotels left, I'll just go to the supermarket and buy some things back."
Saying that, she walked straight out of the room.
As Su Keqin descended the stairs of the apartment building, she was counting the loose change in her purse when a pair of headlights suddenly appeared before her.
She shielded her eyes, adjusting to the light with difficulty, just as a black Bentley slowly drove towards her.
Su Keixin was taken aback.
This car is....
Her house in S city was a rental, the most common kind of small apartment building. This black Bentley really stuck out against the surrounding scenery.
She was still in shock and hadn't reacted when she saw the car door suddenly open, and a familiar wheelchair slowly slid down.
Su Ke Xin couldn't believe her eyes. She watched as Gu Chi's wheelchair rolled in front of her, and she stammered, "Gu... Gu Chi, how did you get here"
Gu Chi looked at the little woman in front of him. She was wearing pajamas and sweatpants, with a sports jacket thrown over her, slippers on her feet, and her hair haphazardly tied up in a bun. She looked a bit disheveled, but for some reason, he still found her cute.
But thinking of her text message, he couldn't help but turn cold, "Why did you suddenly come home"
Su Ke Xin didn't expect Gu Chi to suddenly appear downstairs at her house, just asking that one sentence. She could only answer half-truthfully: "My mother wants to be discharged from the hospital, so I brought her back and take care of her."
Gu Chi raised an eyebrow, but didn't press further. "What are you doing out at this hour"
"Go buy dinner for Mom."
"Dinner Ten o'clock" Gu Chi frowned, "All the restaurants are closed."
"Then I'll just have to go to the supermarket to buy rice." There's nothing at home, not even enough to cook porridge for mom.
Gu Chi looked at Su Ke Xin, his eyes holding a hint of helplessness.
This woman, sometimes she seems so tough, but other times she's kind of clueless. She can't even take care of herself, how could she take care of her mom
"Yang Zuo," Gu Chi spoke, "You go find the hotel next door and ask them to have their kitchen send some food over immediately."
Su Keqin was taken aback and hurriedly waved her hand, "No need, I can cook it myself."
"It's already ten o'clock, are you still making your mom wait for you" Gu Chi raised an eyebrow. "Don't forget, your mom is still a patient."
Su Keixin was speechless now.
She of course knew it was late, but she could only blame herself for being too busy today and not getting anything done until now.
Thinking of her sick mother who was also hungry, Su Kexin stopped forcing it and readily accepted Gu Chi's help, whispering, "Thank you."
Gu Chi's expression softened slightly, "Let's go upstairs."
"Up the stairs" Su KeXin was stunned again.
"Or what" Gu Chi looked at the startled woman in front of him, his face even more helpless. "Are you going to let me wait for Yang Zhao downstairs in the wind"
Su Keqin's face turned red again instantly, and she hurriedly pushed Gu Chi into the building.
Taking the elevator upstairs, Su Keqin pushed Gu Chi into her own home and saw that the room was in disarray.
"That... I just got back, and I haven't tidied up yet, I'm so sorry." Being a girl, Su Kexin was also a little embarrassed to have her messy house seen. She quickly started cleaning up.
Strangely enough, her hands weren't very nimble. As she moved them, she pulled at the wound and let out a hiss of pain.
Gu Zhi keenly noticed Su Ke Xin's tightly furrowed face, couldn't help but frown, and immediately got up from his wheelchair. "I'll do it."
Su Ke Xin couldn't possibly ask Gu Chi, this young master, to tidy up her room. She quickly waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little slow, but it'll be done in a while."
"No need to put on a brave face in front of me." Gu Chi grabbed Su Ke Xin's hand and pressed her down onto the sofa.
Don't try too hard in front of me.
Such a matter-of-fact statement left Su KeXin stunned. She suddenly forgot to struggle, simply sitting stiffly on the sofa, watching Gu Chi tidying up back and forth.look. When they saw the scene before them, a dull thud echoed in their chests, as if struck by five thundering bolts of lightning. Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, and some even had their mouths...
