The true record of a female CEO’s loyal dog

Chapter 45: Speaking out of integrity

"you!"

Mr. Shu was so angry that he turned to pull Shu Jing as a reinforcement, "Listen to what your sister is saying?"

Shu Jing is a ghost. He knows that if he doesn't help Shu Xue now, when something like this happens to him in the future, there won't even be anyone in the family to speak for him.

So, he changed the subject and appeased Mr. Shu: "Grandpa, the second sister means that she wants to choose the person she likes. She is already twenty-seven and not a child. Just let her decide on her own."

Mr. Shu was like an unreasonable three-year-old naughty boy, "I didn't let her make do with someone she didn't like. Didn't I let her have a meal with Du Qingyuan first to see each other's eyes? After seeing it, it was really If you don’t like it, just say something else.”

"I've never seen it yet, so why do you think your grandfather is chasing ducks? Am I that unreasonable?"

Seeing that Mr. Shu was getting more and more agitated, Shu Xue felt sorry for Mr. Shu's old age. In addition, she thought that after her parents passed away, Mr. Shu's white-haired man sent the black-haired man away and his heart broke for the three brothers and sisters.

Shu Xue couldn't bear to go against Mr. Shu anymore, so she also made a concession, "Okay, then I will meet Du Qingyuan in Jinzhou tomorrow."

"but!"

Shu Xue giving in now does not mean that she will give in every step in the future.

In order to prevent Mr. Shu from messing around in the future, Shu Xue made a special statement: "It's up to me whether we meet again or not. Grandpa, you can't interfere anymore."

"Good good!"

When I heard that Shu Xue was willing to meet Du Qingyuan, Mr. Shu still didn't agree.

"As long as you meet Du Qingyuan and talk properly and don't be perfunctory, grandpa will not care about you anymore!"

As soon as he finished his bold words, Mr. Shu muttered and laughed softly: "Anyway, I still have several alternatives, I'm not afraid that you won't like any of them."

……

On the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, a typhoon rarely occurs in autumn and gradually approaches the continental shelf.

As a coastal province, on the eve of the typhoon landing, the entire Xin'an Province was shrouded in rain and mist, preparing for the arrival of the typhoon.

At this time, there was a storm in Jinzhou, and the poinciana tree outside the ward had been combed into a chicken coop. The messy appearance made Gu Xu have an obsessive-compulsive disorder attack, and he wanted to have the power of Emperor Ziyang to prune it properly.

Gu Xu was still lost in thought when the door lock clicked, and the wind that had been roaring in the ventilation duct instantly roared into the house.

He thought it was just the doctor's routine ward rounds, but he heard Xiao Tao's surprised tone: "Mr. Shu?!"

Shu Xue responded to Xiao Tao lightly and said nothing more.

She was soaked all over, and her long, slightly curly hair was close to her skin. She looked pitiful that Gu Xu had never seen before.

Lin Ke stood beside Shu Xue and closed her umbrella. Shu Xue was in such a mess, and he, who had been protecting Shu Xue, was no better.

The raindrops dripping from the two people's bodies gathered into a small stream, flowing along the cracks in the floor and all the way to Gu Xu's hospital bed.

Seeing this, Gu Xu jumped up, took the thin blanket and put it on Shu Xue, then grabbed Shu Xue's hand to untie her belt, and took off the wet windbreaker for her.

Although there was no expression on Gu Xu's face, Shu Xue intuitively felt Gu Xu's anger.

She let Gu Xu control her and was pushed to sit down on the hospital bed like an ignorant child.

Without saying a word, Gu Xu pulled the quilt over Shu Xue and began to wipe Shu Xue with a thin blanket.

His strength did not restrain, and he kneaded Shu Xue into a poodle in just a few strokes.

Xiao Tao and Lin Ke sensed something was wrong and hid in the ward bathroom.

Shu Xue probably knew what Gu Xu was angry about. She put her arms around Gu Xu's waist and said softly, "How has my brother recovered in the past two days? Does the wound on your arm still hurt?"

Hearing this, Gu Xu stopped wiping.

He raised Shu Xue's face, his tone mixed with a bit of anger, and asked: "You still know how to care about my body, but what about your own? The Huanhai Expressway from Jinghai out of the city is naked on the sea, and the typhoon How dangerous is it?"

"The typhoon hasn't made landfall yet."

Shu Xue raised her head and acted coquettishly, asking to please: "Are you angry?"

Gu Xu's rationality gradually returned. He thought of the relationship between the Shengshu family and took a long breath, thinking that he shouldn't be so rude.

"Not angry."

He stopped wiping Shu Xue's wet hair, took two steps back, and laughed at himself: "Maybe I've been too busy these days."

Shu Xue noticed Gu Xu's change in mood, took the thin blanket, stood up and walked to Gu Xu.

"You said you weren't angry, but look at your face before and after. It's just like the weather in September. It changes at any time."

Shu Xue didn't think deeply about the reason for Gu Xu's change of attitude, but was only happy that Gu Xu cared about her.

With a smile on her face, Shu Xue said coquettishly and weakly: "Okay, I understand, and I will never go out on a typhoon day again."

"Brother, don't worry, I'm very obedient."

The corners of Gu Xu's mouth began to rise uncontrollably, and he gave a shallow "hmm" as a response.

Shu Xue tilted her head slightly, put her feet in front of Gu Xu's face, and asked teasingly: "Am I very good?"

Gu Xu was unprepared, and his heart was beating wildly due to the sudden close distance between the two.

He swallowed subconsciously.

Gu Xu looked away and said duplicity: "It's just average."

"what?"

Shu Xue was amused by Gu Xu, thinking that a man's heart is really like a needle in the sea. Just a moment ago, he was in a irritable mood, but in the blink of an eye, he could joke with himself again.

Gu Xu's mood was indeed uncertain.

Gu Xu explained what he had not said clearly, "What I mean is that there is still room for improvement, so we must continue to maintain it and continue to observe."

Shu Xue saw through it but didn't say anything, and scolded Gu Xu affectionately: "Mensao."

Gu Xu pretended not to hear, changed the subject and asked, "Are you busy with any work in Jinzhou this time?"

Shu Xue helped Gu Xu back to the hospital bed to lie down, and replied: "There are indeed some small real estate matters here in Jinzhou that need to be handled by me, but it doesn't really matter whether I come or not. I mainly come to see you. How can I rest assured when I'm lying in the hospital?"

After hearing the answer he expected, Gu Xu was like a pool of melting spring water.

He was lying on the hospital bed with gentle eyes and a calm tone: "I haven't had any delicious food while lying in the hospital for the past two days. Since you have no work arrangements, give me a chance to treat you to a meal tonight. Rice, thank you, Mr. Shu, for your care and concern, and I’ll also treat myself by the way. How about it?”

"Okay!"

It was the first time Gu Xu took the initiative to invite Shu Xue, and it was too late for Shu Xue to be happy. How could she refuse?

"But while you're recovering from your wounds, shouldn't you eat anything too spicy or too cold?"

Out of concern for Gu Xu, Shu Xue couldn't help but become a guest.

"Jinzhou Hotel has hired a new Huaiyang cuisine chef. His seasoning and knife skills are excellent. Huaiyang cuisine is fresh and mild in taste, and has a moderate sweetness and lightness. It is most suitable for you who still need to avoid dietary restrictions. Yes. What do you think, brother?"

Gu Xu smiled and nodded. Originally, his purpose was just to have a meal with Shu Xue. As for what to eat, he originally planned to let Shu Xue choose.

He was worried that Shu Xue would catch a cold due to being exposed to the rain, so he straightened the quilt and covered Shu Xue.

In this way, at a glance, the two of them seemed to be sleeping together.

"You arranged it well, I have no objection."

Shu Xue seemed to be soaked in honey, the smile on her lips never faded.

"Then I'll let Lin Ke make arrangements."

After saying that, Shu Xue turned around and called: "Lin Ke!"

Gu Xu's ward was specially arranged by Shu Xue. Even though there was a strong wind outside, the ward was still quiet. Except for the faint sound of wind in the ventilation ducts, there was no noise in the ward.

Therefore, even though Lin Ke and Xiao Tao avoided the bathroom, they almost heard the entire conversation between Shu Xue and Gu Xu.

Lin Ke knew that Shu Xue was happy to see Gu Xu and had completely forgotten about Du Qingyuan, whom she had no interest in.

But Mr. Shu gave the order and asked his uncle to call him on the way to warn him. Lin Ke could not let Shu Xue let Du Qingyuan do it.

He opened the photo of Du Qingyuan sent by Butler Yu, raised his phone and tapped the screen at Shu Xue.

Only then did Shu Xue react belatedly, "That's right, I forgot about the blind date tonight."

"Blind date?!"

Shu Xue's tone was calm, as if she was talking about someone else's business, but Gu Xu and Xiao Tao's eyes widened in surprise.
