Chapter 1137 - Divorce? (3)
Gu Lingsha sniffled, then took the tissue that Xi Xinyi handed her to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
“Manager Xi, what are you doing here?”
As someone who could control her emotions well, after a while, Gu Lingsha returned to normal and breathed in as she looked at Xi Xinyi.
“I came to the hospital for some medication. I’ve been having a cold for the past two days.”
She could hear that Xi Xinyi’s voice was slightly raspy and nasally.
“Manager Xi, you’ve been working too hard for the South River Project as of late. You should watch out for your health,” Gu Lingsha said with considerate concern.
When Xi Xinyi heard that, a bitter smile spread across her face. “It’s fine. It’s just how things are.”
Then, she turned to look outside the corridor and realized that it was getting dark. She thought about it and said, “It’s getting late. Manager Gu, you should get home soon. I saw reports at the entrance earlier. I think you should go down to the second floor and walk out via the stairs,” Xi Xinyi mentioned kindly.
Recently, Gu Qiwu and Doris’s incident had caused quite a buzz that did not stop these past few days. In fact, it seemed to be increasing in trend, especially since the news of Gu Qiwu’s hospitalization leaked out. It had indirectly caused another wave. If the whole thing with Doris happened…
Upon hearing that, Gu Lingsha turned to look out at the sky. She thought about it and then said, “Since we bumped into each other, how about we have dinner together? You’ve been working hard for the South River Project since I was busy with the wedding a while ago, and I should thank you properly.”
“Manager Gu, you’re too courteous. That’s just part of my duties,” Xi Xinyi said humbly.
Gu Lingsha smiled. “Unless you’re not willing to give me the honor, Manager Xi?”
Stunned, Xi Xinyi nodded. “Since you’ve invited me, I’d obviously be happy to go along with you!”
“Let’s go then!” Gu Lingsha quickly returned to normal and turned around to walk towards the elevator.
…
Gu Qiwu was too tired, so he slept all the way till the next day. When he woke up with a heaviness in his body, the pain that came from his stomach made him frown involuntarily. He was about to sit up when Ah Yong, who had been guarding at the side, went up to him.
“Boss! You’re awake!” His concerned tone had a hint of a pleasant surprise as he went up to help Gu Qiwu sit up. Ah Yong had been worried for a whole night!
Gu Qiwu leaned back against the bedhead weakly. He looked frail, and there was a sickly pale on his face, making him look wan and sallow.
“What happened to me? Why am I here?” His raspy voice was heard. When he looked up and saw that his hands were needles in his hand, he frowned.
“Boss, you drank too much and had internal bleeding. Thankfully, we sent you to the hospital in time. The doctor says you should be more careful. You can’t do that anymore. Otherwise, the situation will get worse. Your gastric has always been bad. Whatever it is, you have to watch out for your health,” Ah Yong advised worriedly as he poured Gu Qiwu a cup of warm water.
Upon hearing that, Gu Qiwu shut his eyes tiredly and took a deep breath. He calmed himself down for a while before opening his eyes. He remembered the things he had said to Gu Lingsha.
“Miss Lingsha came earlier, but she’s gone back now. She’ll come over tomorrow morning. You’re still very weak. The doctor said that you need to stay in the hospital for treatment before you can be discharged. I’ve done my best to lock down the news, so, Boss, please recuperate at ease. Nothing’s more important than your health. If you collapse, there’ll be nothing else.”
He knew that Gu Qiwu had been in a poor state recently, so Ah Yong tried his best to enlighten him. Even though Gu Qiwu was usually a man of few words and was extremely stern, he carried a lot of weight in his heart. However, Ah Yong could see that his boss had not had it easy, especially with Madam.
Right now with the latest incident, how could he not feel bitterly disappointed?
Gu Qiwu did not say anything. He just silently lowered his gaze and drank a few sips. Soon, some radiance returned to his pale lips. He returned the glass and reached out to hold his faintly aching stomach. Suddenly, he fell silent and did not move. You could not guess what he was thinking about.
Ah Yong thought about it, before he responded, “Boss, recover in peace. I know that recent incidents have caused a lot of frustrations for you. As long as we don’t respond, they can’t do anything about it.”
Gu Qiwu sighed. There was a faint sneer on his stern face as he looked up at Ah Yong. “How’s the company doing? Bring me my laptop!” He had already thought that if things out the way they were right now, the company would definitely be affected, so he executed some precautions.
“Don’t worry, Boss. The company’s alright for now. Even though there were inevitable effects in the stock market, it’s all within controlled parameters. It’s just that…Boss, yesterday Miss Lingshi went looking for Madam. According to the subordinates, Madam seems to have mentioned ‘divorce’. Boss, Madam might be thinking of getting a divorce with you.”
When he said the last few words, Ah Yong looked hesitant and concern colored his eyes.
Indeed, as Ah Yong said that, Gu Qiwu’s handsome face immediately sank!
“Divorce? In her dreams!” Gu Qiwu’s cold voice did not have a hint of warmth as he smirked coldly. “I’ve been so good to her all these years, yet she cheated on me! This witch! Did she think I’d let her off so easily?” When he said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
“But, Boss, if you persist, Madam might use the route of the courts. After all, if Miss Mu Lingshi…that’s hard evidence right there, and it wouldn’t be great for us. When the time comes for the court to decide, we might lose out big time. Boss, we’ll have to think this through,” Ah Yong pondered over the reasons and said softly.
Upon hearing that, Gu Qiwu laughed grimly. “Does it make sense even when Doris has cheated on me? You know very well how I’ve treated her all these years! Even if it’s because of Lingshi…so what? That illegitimate child that she bore wasn’t mine! The other day, I told you to do a DNA comparison of that illegitimate child and Lingsha. When will the results be out?”
Gu Qiwu looked up coldly, his sharp gaze landing straight on Ah Yong.
