Chapter 31: You Don’t Have to Explain to Me
Elderly Lady Gu burst into anger right away, not daring to believe that Gu Zijin had just tried to drive her away. Now she finally realized that her grandson was a grown-up man who would never be controlled by her anymore!
Seeing what had happened, Qin Muxuan lowered her head and said,
“Elderly Lady Gu, I know you don’t like me. But I’ll leave your house in one month and a half, so there’s no hurry to kick me out now.”
Hearing that, Elderly Lady Gu finally decided to restrain herself. She was well aware of Gu Zijin’s character. If she pushed him too hard, he might really send her to another place to live.
By then, everything would be beyond her control. What if Gu Zijin walked into Qin Muxuan’s trap…
Qin Xiaobai’s face had been gloomy for a long while. He remembered that Qin Muxuan told him not to be angry with his great grandma, but it didn’t stop him from bursting with fury inwardly.
After the breakfast.
Gu Zijin went to his entertainment company and Qin Xiaobai was taken to school. As Qin Muxuan was about to leave, Elderly Lady Gu stopped her and said,
“Miss Qin, you should be well aware that I will never accept a girl like you as my grandson’s wife!”
Qin Muxuan, her back going stiff, gave a wry smile and said,
“Elderly Lady Gu, what if I say I never want to be his wife? You don’t have to be so afraid of me. Moreover, you know better than I do that it all depends on Gu Zijin. If he doesn’t want me, I will never become his wife no matter how hard I try. If he wants me, no one would be able to stop him, right?”
Those words hit the soft spot of Elderly Lady Gu. All these years, she had witnessed his grandson growing up to be a resolute man like her husband. She was not able to control him long ago.
At present, even the whole Gu Group had been taken over by Gu Zijin.
“Huh! You do have a clear mind!”
Elderly Lady Gu turned around furiously and walked to the inside with the support of Nanny Chen.
Qin Muxuan got cold sweats in her palms already. She knew that if she showed weakness in front of Elderly Lady Gu just now, her life in the next one and a half month wouldn’t be easy. So she decided to make things clear first.
Uncle Chen had already driven the car over. After Qin Muxuan got in the car, she looked out of the window with a sad look in her watery eyes. There was only one and a half month left. Every time she was reminded that she would leave Qin Xiaobai soon, she would feel constant fits of pain.
She was the one that had endured the ten months’ pregnancy and raised Xiaobai to five years old. However, she still had to give Xiaobai to the Gu’s family under the pressure of them.
One day… She would justifiably get the custody of Xiaobai back!
At noon, Qin Muxuan was still thinking of how to improve her drawings. The duration of the project was long, and she was trying to see if she could avoid some unnecessary waste on time.
Suddenly the phone on the desk rang. Qin Muxuan picked up the phone,
“Hello.”
“The president needs you to send a contract to our entertainment company. He needs to sign on it.”
It was Lisa’s neat voice from the other side of the phone. Qin Muxuan compressed her lips slightly and said,
“Lisa, I’m from Qixing Group. Isn’t it inappropriate for me to send the contract?”
“The president named you specifically. You don’t need to mind if it is inappropriate or not.”
Qin Muxuan exhaled deeply and agreed. ‘What is Gu Zijin thinking anyway? He wants me to see the intimate interactions between Yan Yuxiao and him?’ She thought.
Qin Muxuan took her purse and fetched the contract from upstairs. Then she took a taxi to Gu’s entertainment company.
It was quite foggy today. When Qin Muxuan got out of the taxi, it already started to sprinkle. Then she hurriedly ran into the studio according to the address which had been given to her by Lisa.
However, she was stopped by the guard by the door.
“Do you have the pass?” He asked.
Qin Muxuan, with an awkward look on her face, shook her head. Then the guard said,
“Sorry, you are not allowed to come in without a pass. It’s for the safety of the actors.”
“I’m here to send a contract to President Gu…”
Before Qin Muxuan could finish her words, she heard a loud noise coming through from the studio. The next second, she saw Gu Zijin walking out in a hurry, with Yan Yuxiao whose body was covered with blood in his arms…
Qin Muxuan’s body shook fiercely. She was pushed away by the crowd and the contract in her arms almost fell onto the ground. Gu Zijin glanced at her and moved his thin lips, trying to say something. However, right at this moment, the ambulance came, so Gu Zijin brought Yan Yuxiao into the ambulance right away.
After the crowd had scattered, the guard finally came back to his sense and looked to Qin Muxuan, saying,
“Miss, what were you saying?”
“Nothing.”
Qin Muxuan turned around and took another taxi to go back, with the contract still in her arms.
The guard looked to another guard questioningly and said,
“It’s so strange. I have heard her saying that she wants to find President…”
In no time, the sudden news broke on the Web,
“Breaking news! Yan Yuxiao, a B-list actress, ran into an accident on the hanging wire! Gu Zijin, the secret man behind her, accompanied her in the hospital for the whole night!”
Under the huge headline, there were a set of pictures. Some of the loyal and crazy fans of Gu Zijin started to comment right away.
Peppa Pig: “So Master Gu is the one supporting Yan Yuxiao the whole time! Ahhhhhhh! Damned woman! How dare you steal my husband away!”
Dudu Girl: “It’s true that beautiful women are all protected by powerful men. I am so jealous now!”
Piggy: Wow! Even though the image quality of those photos is poor, I still got to appreciate Master Gu’s gorgeous face! I love him so so much!
…
Qin Muxuan glanced over the tons of comments. Though Gu Zijin wasn’t a star, people still seemed to pay more attention to him than Yan Yuxiao… Eighty percent of the comments were denouncements of Yan Yuxiao from heartbroken young girls.
Qin Muxuan turned off her phone. There were gossips spreading in the company already. She suddenly remembered the nervous look on Gu Zijin’s face when he held Yan Yuxiao in his arms.
‘Men, they always say they don’t want it… But they are always betrayed by the looks on their faces. Well, Yan Yuxiao has a pretty face and a wonderful figure. There must be lots of men losing their hearts to her.’ Qin Muxuan thought.
When it was time to get off work, Gu Zijin still hadn’t shown up. Qin Muxuan stood outside of the company, preparing to call a taxi again since she didn’t expect him to show up. Then a black Bentley stopped steadily in front of her.
As the car window was rolled down, Gu Zijin’s handsome face appeared. He said,
“Get in the car.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Qin Muxuan got in the car with hesitation. Gu Zijin glanced at her calm face and pondered for a while before saying,
“What happened today…”
“President Gu, you don’t have to explain to me.”
Her words provoked Gu Zijin at once. He had felt sorry and worried about her before. However, those feelings were all dispelled by Qin Muxuan’s indifferent attitude.
He had been afraid that Qin Muxuan would be injured after being pushed away by the crowd, so he rushed back hastily after sending Yan Yuxiao to hospital.
At that moment, he didn’t approach Qin Muxuan because there were too many cameras outside the studio. Now he only found that thought of him quite unnecessary because this woman didn’t mind it at all!
“Fine.”
Gu Zijin curled his thin lips and started the engine, with the look in his gray eyes as cold as the icy lake.
