"Mr. Gu—" Yu Jing hurriedly opened the back door of the car for Gu Qishen.
Gu Qishen stood still for a moment, his face suddenly flushed red, and he vomited a mouthful of blood!
"Mr. Gu!" Yu Jing exclaimed!
After spitting out the blood, Gu Qishen's complexion visibly paled.
He felt groggy, as if the most important thing in his life had been brutally ripped from his body.
In the future—was he to face a future without Qin He?
Gu Qishen's vision went black, and he fainted, collapsing to the ground with a thud!
On the second floor of the Qin family's residence, Qin He returned to her bedroom and hid behind the window, peeking through the gap in the curtains to see when Gu Qishen would leave.
She gripped the curtain tightly, her eyes dimming: Leave, perhaps leaving would be for the best.
After making things clear with Gu Qishen, she should no longer be trapped by these feelings for him.
She couldn't figure out her own emotions lately.
But this conflicted feeling made her anxious, kept her awake at night, and even in her sleep, she dreamed of Gu Qishen.
Perhaps after officially breaking up with Gu Qishen, she would feel better.
A short pain was better than prolonged agony!
Qin He had thought this, but after resolutely speaking harsh words to Gu Qishen today, her heart felt as if it were being torn apart, aching so much that she could barely breathe.
When she saw Gu Qishen collapse, that feeling intensified, and Qin He felt as if her heart had been struck a heavy blow!
She cried out and turned to rush outside.
The main building of the Qin family's residence was some distance from the main gate.
Qin He's heart was pounding violently, her mind filled with only one thought.
Gu Qishen! Would he be alright!
He would be alright!
By the time Qin He rushed to the main gate, the black car had already driven away.
She stood at the entrance, gasping for breath, tears streaming down her face.
"Gu Qishen, I'm sorry— I really don't have the courage to face you again."
Qin He muttered to herself, the ocean-like pain in her chest surged, waves of palpitations making Qin He bend over in pain—
...
Gu Qishen was sent to the hospital by Yu Jing. After examination, it was found to be gastritis caused by irregular eating habits in recent times.
The doctor frowned as he looked at the X-ray film.
"Skipping meals on an empty stomach is one thing, but drinking so much alcohol is another. You must monitor the patient and ensure he eats normally!"
Yu Jing responded from the side, a hint of bitterness in his heart.
Monitor Mr. Gu and prevent him from drinking?
It was unlikely anyone in the entire Qingcheng could do that, except for— Miss Qin, but Miss Qin had now abandoned Mr. Gu.
Gu Qishen did not remain unconscious for long; he woke up at the hospital around two in the afternoon.
In the ward, Yu Jing carefully brought in the hot congee he had just bought.
"Mr. Gu, the doctor said your stomach needs rest," Yu Jing said softly. "Should we inform the old residence and have madam send some maids over?"
He was a man, capable of fighting and killing, but when it came to taking care of someone, Yu Jing felt he was not meticulous enough.
Gu Qishen, lying on the hospital bed, had been silent since waking up. Gradually, his eyes began to show a hint of indifference and malice.
His aura was even more terrifying than usual.
Hearing Yu Jing's words, Gu Qishen reached out and pulled off the intravenous drip.
A few drops of blood splashed out as the needle was removed.
Gu Qishen got out of bed.
Yu Jing, by his side, anxiously said, "Mr. Gu! The doctor said you need to be hospitalized for a period of rest."
Gu Qishen's voice was cold and hoarse: "Return to Sen Garden!"
At two in the afternoon, Gu Qishen's car drove out of the hospital—
Beside the hospital entrance, in a taxi, Qin He looked at the window of that car.
She could vaguely make out the silhouette of the person in the back seat.
It was him—
Qin He's heart, tense all day, finally relaxed.
If Gu Qishen had come out any later, she feared she would have rushed into the hospital to check on him, regardless of the consequences. Fortunately— he had come out.
Qin He lowered her head: "Driver, let's go back the way we came."
...
Qin He's notice of breakup was very effective. The next day, Gu Qishen's car did not appear at the Qin family's gate again.
At eight in the morning, when Qin Yun went out, he glanced at the spot where the car usually parked; it was now empty.
His brow furrowed slightly.
Yesterday, after Qin He and Gu Qishen finished their conversation, he had watched the surveillance footage that night and saw Gu Qishen faint in front of the Qin family's gate and be taken away by his assistant.
And his sister, Qin He, had chased after him, only a step too late.
These two clearly had feelings for each other.
Qin Yun sighed softly.
Having come this far, his sister and Gu Qishen were truly a fated entanglement.
But no matter how Qin He chose, he would always respect his sister's decision!
When Qin Yun arrived at the Qin Corporation, as soon as he reached the top floor, his secretary, who was resting in the lounge, came out and hurried over upon seeing him.
"Mr. Qin, a young lady claiming to be your cousin is waiting for you in the lounge."
Cousin?
"Is her surname Ming?"
"Yes." Qin Yun raised an eyebrow slightly.
Ming Xue had come to the company to find him; he wondered if she had gotten into trouble at school.
In the lounge, Shen Yizong was sitting with Ming Xue.
While they were chatting earlier, Ming Xue learned that Shen Yizong was Shen Yilin's brother and enthusiastically chatted with him.
They talked about everything from the Qin family to the Ming family.
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Shen Yizong stood up.
"It should be Mr. Qin. Miss Ming."
The next second, the door to the lounge was pushed open.
Qin Yun stood at the door and, seeing Ming Xue inside, laughed heartily.
"It really is you. Why did you come looking for me here? Did you do something at school?"
Ming Xue blinked her eyes and glanced somewhat awkwardly at Shen Yizong beside her.
"Cousin, let's talk in your office."
They went to the office, and after Qin Yun inquired, he learned that Ming Xue's recent grades were not ideal. Ming Yu Sheng was very angry and froze all her cards, leaving her only a savings card with three thousand yuan.
As Ming Xue spoke, she looked pleadingly at Qin Yun.
"Big Cousin, three thousand yuan would normally be enough for me to spend. I'm not extravagant, but my boyfriend's birthday is in a week. So... I want to borrow some money for a gift from you."
Qin Yun laughed: "Your boyfriend?"
"Yes, yes!" Ming Xue nodded. "My sister has met this boyfriend of mine."
Qin Yun trusted Qin He's judgment. Since Qin He had vetted him, he didn't think much of it.
"How much do you want to borrow?"
Ming Xue blinked: "I've been eyeing a watch, it costs about two hundred thousand."
Qin Yun pressed the intercom: "Zhou Yang, go and write a check for two hundred thousand for Xue'er."
Zhou Yang acknowledged, and Ming Xue immediately became elated.
"Why don't you go to your sister for something like this? Isn't it going out of your way to come to the company to find me? Qin Corporation seems to be closer to Qingda University than the Qin residence is."
Ming Xue said weakly: "How dare I go to my sister? Isn't she troubled by the matter with Gu Qishen lately?"
The relationship between the Qin and Ming families was good, and Qin Yun treated it as giving his cousin pocket money. However, Ming Xue still solemnly signed a small IOU for Qin Yun.
"Cousin, wait until my grades improve next semester. My dad will definitely reward me then, and I'll repay you with the principal and interest together," Ming Xue said with a smile.
