The sick and weak boss relies on me to reach the pinnacle of life

"For so many years, I wanted to find a way to treat you and come to you again, but I didn't expect it to be too late after all. I don't regret telling my heart, although it was a step late, Mr. Gu, I won't give up." Bai Yan nodded slightly at Gu Xiujin, then turned and left.

Gu Xiujin's eyes were very indifferent from the beginning to the end, he didn't even pay much attention to her back, and turned back directly to the study.

"Li Zhao is going to check what Gu Fang has been up to lately." Gu Xiujin took out the mobile phone that was used to contact Li Zhao and told him to pay more attention to Gu Fang.

After talking on the phone, Gu Xiujin felt tired all over his body. He said that home and family are a haven for people to rest, but Gu Xiujin has never experienced this kind of warmth except from his grandfather since he was a child.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the study door, Xie Qingtang poked her head out, holding a bowl of medicinal porridge in her hand, and said carefully: "I heard that Miss Bai left, and you didn't eat anything this morning, so I specially made you a bowl of medicated porridge, I never took my eyes off the whole time, and I will never let others poison you."

"Come in." For some reason, when seeing that cautious woman, Gu Xiujin's mood suddenly became quiet and peaceful, and he said to her with a touch of tenderness on his face.

Xie Qingtang immediately walked in with the bowl of porridge, put the porridge in front of him, and said expectantly: "I prepared these herbs last night, and boiled them for half an hour this morning. It’s true that the medicine is just right, and it’s good for your body.”

"En." Although Gu Xiujin's attitude was still very indifferent, he involuntarily picked up the spoon next to him and drank the porridge.

Xie Qingtang who was standing in front of him hesitated to say anything, but decided to wait until he finished his porridge.After a while, Gu Xiujin looked up at her, as if he could see through her mind, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, you've been staring at me since just now."

"It's like this, since you have identified the suspect who poisoned you, can I complete the task and leave? Should we talk about the reward?" Xie Qingtang said calmly, not at all I feel awkward talking about money with Gu Xiujin.

Gu Xiujin was obviously stunned for a moment, looked up at her in surprise, and replied with slight fluctuations in his eyes: "Don't you help me for free?"

"It's free, how could it be free? I've been here to cook you medicinal meals for free for several days. Of course it's not free. In order to protect you, my Cun Shan Tang has not opened for several days." Xie Qingtang Immediately said as a matter of course, let her be free, how is that possible?

Seeing the little woman in front of him asking for money, Gu Xiujin couldn't help but feel amused, and continued to ask: "But you didn't mention the money when you first came, why do you mention it now?"

"At that time, I thought we were friends, so it was not easy to withdraw money, but now I think it is because we are friends that we need to withdraw money, so as not to hurt our feelings for money, isn't it?" Xie Qingtang said sophistry.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that after seeing Miss Bai, she felt that she should not have even the slightest illusion about a man who belonged to her, so she wanted to clear up her relationship with Gu Xiujin by raising money, and she didn't want to get involved with him. The slightest connection.

What I didn't expect was that Gu Xiujin shook his head directly, and continued: "Feelings are priceless, and raising money really hurts feelings. In order not to hurt our friendship, I also thank you for your selfless help. I won't give it."

"What, how is this possible? I'm not helping you for free, I have to give you the money." Xie Qingtang said a little angrily, and got himself involved while talking, Gu Xiujin in front of him was really cunning.

So the two of them had an abrupt discussion for half an hour on whether the money should be given or not. In the end, Xie Qingtang's throat was dry. She picked up the teacup next to her and took a sip of water. At this moment, her He froze suddenly, and looked at the teacup in his hand with a slight frown.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Gu Xiujin, who was familiar with her, immediately noticed her strangeness and asked.

Xie Qingtang raised the teacup in his hand, and said to Gu Xiujin with some surprise: "We only noticed your diet, but forgot these small details around you. This teacup was also poisoned by others. Every time you drink water, the toxin It will enter your body and accumulate slowly."

"What, the teacup was also poisoned by someone else." Gu Xiu stood up abruptly, his brows twisted into a pimple, while Xie Qingtang nodded with a serious expression. Noticed it.

There were three teacups on the table. Xie Qingtang picked them up and observed them carefully, and finally nodded slightly at Gu Xiujin.He left the study and went back to his room to take out the medicine box, then came to the study again to test the three teacups.

After testing, the surfaces of these three teacups were all coated with poison, probably because they were not sure which teacup Gu Xiujin would drink from, so in order to [-]% poison him, they painted poison on all three teacups.

When the matter came to this point, Gu Xiujin's face turned livid and ugly, he clenched his fists tightly, and said through gritted teeth: "You really took great pains to harm me."

"Who prepared the tea in this study for you?" Xie Qingtang asked suspiciously, Gu Xiujin's face froze, and slowly spit out a person's name.

At this moment, in the kitchen, the butler was inspecting the items inside with his hands behind his back, and when the head chef saw him, he immediately nodded and said, "Butler, you're here."

"Well, you should be careful with the dishes tonight. If the young master only eats the medicinal food made by his wife, then there is no need to hire you. After all, the money for hiring you every month is a lot of money. Don't let me I'm so disappointed." The butler said lightly, and then touched the cooking food and utensils with his hands.

He seemed to be checking these things for any abnormalities, and the head chef didn't doubt it, so he quickly assured him: "Please rest assured, butler, we have been working hard during this period of time, and we will definitely let Gu If you eat two extra bites, I will use what I have learned all my life to satisfy Mr. Gu." The housekeeper nodded in satisfaction.
