Oops! The sickly Mr. Gu fainted again

"Yaoyao, you're too close to him." Ji Yan's eyes were deep and his tone was slow and deep. Suddenly his facial expression became serious.

"It will be dangerous for you to be around him. He is not just what you see." Ji Yan seemed to have something else to say. He spoke slowly and seriously with a frown, as if thinking about something.

Ye Xingyao was a little surprised and confused when she heard this, her pupils were slightly stunned, and suddenly she felt a little angry.

She felt that Ji Yan was exaggerating, and she was an adult now, no longer like when she was a child and had to listen to him in everything.

She felt that Ji Yan's interference in her affairs was a bit abrupt, which made her feel uncomfortable unconsciously.

"What danger? What do you think he looks like when I saw him?" Ye Xingyao's tone was full of obvious dissatisfaction.

"Brother Ji Yan, I don't know what's going on between you two. But what happens between me and Gu Yuchen is my own business."

"If we talk about danger, I think it's only when Gu Yuchen is around you that he's in danger. What I saw was you deliberately talking big and teaming up with others to toast him. What I saw was you pressing him step by step."

Every time Ye Xingyao thought of the time after the cocktail party when they had Japanese food together and Gu Yuchen fell ill and vomited blood and went to the hospital, his face pale and weakly calling out her name, and he almost suffocated during the bleeding due to gastric solution reflux caused by inadequate anesthesia, and even the infusion of antipyretics seemed to take half his life, she felt as if her heart was being pulled with a piercing pain.

In panic and worry, I blurted out the question that I had been holding back for the past few days. After I finished speaking, I wondered if I had said something wrong. I looked at Ji Yan nervously, regretting my impulsiveness.

Ji Yan obviously didn't expect that she would protect Gu Yuchen so much. When he heard the unbelievable words, his eyes suddenly stopped and flashed with surprise.

His mind completely lost its peace at this moment, and he lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

"Do you think I'm the one putting pressure on him?" Ji Yan's tone was heavy, his eyes revealing Mo Luo's shock and disappointment.

"Yaoyao, you are too naive. He doesn't have to drink if he can't. No one can do anything to him with his status. But he still chooses to drink in front of you."

When Ji Yan said the next sentence, he paused for a moment, as if he had considered it for a few seconds before speaking.

"What do you mean, you know he can't drink?" Ye Xingyao was shocked.

Ji Yan lowered his head and smiled helplessly. It turned out that Xingyao was leaning towards Gu Yuchen even when grasping the key points.

She only heard the first half of his sentence and began to question him anxiously, not paying any attention to the second half of his sentence, "He still chose to drink in front of you."

"Yaoyao, you will get hurt if you stay with him..." Ji Yan looked at her with heavy eyes, his eyes filled with heartache and helplessness.

Ye Xingyao thought that the injury he was talking about was related to the incident involving Su Mo in the entertainment news, and that Ji Yan wanted to say that there were a lot of people around him and she couldn't get in.

"Brother Ji Yan, I understand."

"You don't understand." Ji Yan frowned and said solemnly. Then he slowly took out the photo of him and Ji Jie having dinner a few days ago.

"Senior Ji Jie? Gu Yuchen!? How do you have all this? Are you following him?"

Ye Xingyao was just wondering why Ji Yan had these photos, and then she was shocked that these two people actually knew each other. After seeing the intimate behavior of Ji Jie and Gu Yuchen in the photos, she suddenly felt confused. This huge amount of information put together made her feel incredible.

She had just met Ji Jie when she participated in a design competition some time ago. She remembered very clearly that Ji Jie's work was excellent, but she missed the championship by just one vote.

She still remembered that Ji Jie's family was in the luxury goods business, and she was beautiful and rich, so she felt extremely envious at the time.

"We took this photo the day after we had Japanese food together." Ji Yan paused, leaned back in his chair, his tone slightly meaningful.

Ye Xingyao thought about it and her face became even gloomier. She remembered that he had just woken up after gastric bleeding that day, and suddenly said with a stern look that he had something to deal with and hurried out of the hospital.

It turned out that he was going to have dinner with Ji Jie.

She suddenly felt as if her whole body was frozen and fell into an ice river. Her thoughts went blank and her brain suddenly became empty, with only her heart pounding.

He actually dragged his weak body out of the hospital just to have dinner with Ji Jie? She felt as if her body was bound by an invisible force, and was so shocked that she couldn't move.

And what Ji Yan said next shocked her completely.

"Yaoyao, your voting data for the exhibition was tampered with."

Ji Yan then took out the call records of Ji Jie's calls to the United States on the day of the exhibition and the list of staff in the exhibition control room at that time.

"Gu Yuchen instructed Ji Jie to tamper with the voting data of the international exhibition, and you were the only one whose data was tampered with. Do you think he is still the same as you saw?" Ji Yan's face was heavy, but when he saw Ye Xingyao's panic, his eyes were filled with pity and heartache.

"Brother Ji Yan, I have only known him for a short time. He has no reason to tamper with my data."

Ye Xingyao felt very confused at this moment, but she still didn't want to believe that Gu Yuchen would do this. Maybe they were just having dinner together.

"Yaoyao, but I have known you for a long time." Ji Yan looked at her, paused, and did not say the rest.

But Ye Xingyao suddenly understood what Ji Yan meant, and the fear in her eyes was visible. But in her heart, she was still defending Gu Yuchen.

"Brother Ji Yan, these are just a few photos. They don't mean anything. Besides...my work isn't that great to begin with." Ye Xingyao felt dizzy and unable to think clearly. She just subconsciously wanted to defend him.

Seeing that Ye Xingyao had been completely bewitched by Gu Yuchen to the point of losing her mind, Ji Yan froze in place, speechless for a moment.

After a long while, he opened his mouth, "Yaoyao, do you know how my mother died three years ago?" Ji Yan looked at a certain place with a firm gaze, resentful and sharp.

Ye Xingyao was a little surprised, and her eyes were shocked. Then she asked: "Auntie...what's going on..."

Ji Yan's eyes flickered a few times, and he took a sip of water as if trying to suppress his emotions. After a long time, he slowly spoke, "Nothing."

"Yaoyao. I just don't want you to get hurt. Gu Yuchen, I know him better than I know myself." Ji Yan's words ended at the right time, and the girl in front of him was obviously a little flustered again.

Ye Xingyao's mind raced, trying to piece together every word Ji Yan said, capturing every bit of information in it. Finally, she figured out what Ji Yan wanted to say to her.

It turned out that Gu Yuchen had a grudge against Ji Yan and knew that Ji Yan had known her for a long time, so he used her as a target to let Ji Jie tamper with the data in order to slander Ji Yan. Ji Yan should have been tracking and investigating Gu Yuchen. Knowing that he couldn't drink, he deliberately toasted him continuously, causing him to vomit blood after drinking and be hospitalized in an emergency.

But these are clearly just disputes between the two of them, why should I be dragged into it for no reason?

Her mind was repeatedly struck by a strong electric current, and every nerve was trembling and wandering. Gu Yuchen, Ji Jie, Su Mo. She smiled bitterly in her heart, feeling that she was like a clown these days, so funny that even she found it ridiculous.

But whenever the image of him vomiting blood and lying on the bed, frowning and trying hard to endure the pain appeared in my mind, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Gu Yuchen, is what Ji Yan said true?

"Yaoyao... I know that what I said might make you sad, but I don't want to hide it from you. Gu Yuchen, the competition between him and me is not just business..."

Ji Yan stopped talking halfway, his eyes became colder. After thinking for a while, he decided that it was better not to tell her some things for the time being.

"This exhibition is international, and the data he used was tampered with by a foreign system. If it is discovered, the problem will be very serious." Ji Yan told Ye Xingyao seriously.

Ye Xingyao was shocked when she heard this, and suddenly she seemed to understand something. "Brother Ji Yan, what are you going to do?"

Ji Yan did not answer her directly, but just spun the cup in circles with one hand. After a long while, he said, "Yaoyao, I don't want anyone to hurt you. But this time I have implicated you, I'm sorry."

"What are you going to do and what will happen to him?" Ye Xingyao felt a little inexplicably panicked and scared when she heard this. She was afraid that Ji Yan would really make a fuss about this matter.

No matter what, Gu Yuchen's body just needed a good rest now. She didn't want to get anything back, but she felt a little relieved knowing that she didn't really get the last place because of her ability.

Only at this moment did she realize that she cared so much about Gu Yuchen. After receiving a huge amount of complex information, she still wanted to stand on his side. Even if the data of her work was really tampered with, she didn't seem to care that much.

"Brother Ji Yan, can you please not tell anyone? I don't want to pursue the matter of the work anymore," Ye Xingyao said while looking into Ji Yan's eyes with pleading eyes.

She didn't want to push Gu Yuchen to the top of the wave with her own hands.

When Ji Yan saw her defending Gu Yuchen in this way, he felt his heart suddenly ached.

The little girl whom he had silently loved and protected for more than ten years had not only grown up now, but was also standing against him, begging him to let his opponent go.

He lowered his head and smiled bitterly, feeling helpless and heartbroken. "Yaoyao, I will always protect you."

Even if you run into a sea of ​​fire, as long as you choose, I will protect you. It's just that if someone hurts someone around me, no matter who it is, I will never choose to stand by and watch again.

Ji Yan's eyes darkened and he said to her silently in his heart.
