Maybe Jiang Wanqing hasn't appeared in school for too long.

After some consideration, Counselor Wang called the guardian she had reserved for her.

The call is connected.

"Hello, is this Jiang Wanqing's mother, Ms. Zhou Yuhe?"

On the other end of the phone, there was a deep male voice: "Hello."

Counselor Wang was startled and held the phone away to confirm that the number was correct.

"Oh, hello. Is this Ms. Zhou Yuhe?"

"Yes, she is still sleeping now. What's the matter?"

The man's voice was cold and emotionless.

Although Counselor Wang was puzzled, he still said, "You are her brother, right?"

"Um... Jiang Wanqing hasn't been to school for a week. Did something happen?"

"Do your family members know?"

On the phone, it was still that cold male voice: "Oh, she was in a car accident a few days ago and is recuperating in the hospital."

"Ah! Such a big thing, aren't you going to contact the school? How is she now?"

"She's fine and needs to rest at home for a while."

Counselor Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

But he felt that the man on the phone was too arrogant.

Even though such a big thing happened to his family, he looked indifferent and showed no emotion.

And... the student family situation registration form didn't say that Jiang Wanqing had a brother.

"Hey! Boy, who are you?" He said with some anger.

"Your sister was hit, it's such a big deal, and you still have this tone!"

There was a moment of silence in the air, and the person on the other end of the phone did not respond to him.

After a while, he said coldly: "The principal will tell you who I am."

Suddenly, the phone was hung up and a rapid beeping sound was heard.

Counselor Wang stared at his phone screen in shock, yelling, "What the hell! Who is this?"

At this time, Gu Shiche casually threw Zhou Yuhe's mobile phone aside and sat lazily on the sofa in the hospital.

He looked up at Zhou Yuhe, who was lying on the hospital bed with tubes all over her body, and sneered.

He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.

Zhou Yuhe was awakened by the sound and slowly opened her eyes. She turned her head in a daze and saw Gu Shiche sitting upright on the sofa.

She called out weakly, "It's Master Gu... Master Gu, are you back home?"

Zhou Yuhe wanted to sit up, but she didn't have the strength.

She staggered a few times and sank into the bed.

Gu Shiche put on a gentle smile at this moment and stood up politely.

His cold hands gently covered Zhou Yuhe's shoulders, holding her down.

"Aunt Zhou, I'm here to visit you."

"I heard from Sister Wanqing that you were very ill, so I came to see you as soon as I returned home."

Zhou Yuhe patted his hand gently, then dropped it again. The back of her hand was covered with pinholes.

"Master Gu..."

"I have a request."

Zhou Yuhe had tears in her eyes, and only her eye sockets were red on her pale face.

"You say, Aunt Zhou."

"The Gu family are all kind-hearted people. They are willing to spend money to treat the illness of a useless servant like me."

"This is what I should do. Uncle Jiang saved my grandfather's life."

"It's just... my grandfather just passed away a while ago."

When Zhou Yuhe heard that Mr. Gu had left, her body shook violently and she suddenly panicked.

Soon, she calmed down.

Zhou Yuhe coughed heavily a few times and looked extremely weak: "I know that I won't live long in this body."

"It would be a waste of money to treat it again."

"I...I beg you, Master. Jiang Wanqing and you grew up together."

"Although she is not my biological daughter, in my heart, she is my child."

"Please... please treat her well, Master. At least let her... finish her studies and have the ability to make a living."

"I also want to give an explanation to my husband in the afterlife."

After saying that, Zhou Yuhe began to cough violently, and even the entire hospital bed was shaking.

Although Gu Shiche was unhappy, he did not show it and kept his hand on her shoulder.

"Okay, Aunt Zhou, I promise you."

"I will... treat Sister Wanqing well."

The effect of the medicine did not last long, and Zhou Yuhe fell asleep again.

Gu Shiche took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped his hands with great disgust. Those were the hands he had just touched Zhou Yuhe.

He has extremely severe mysophobia. He hates being touched by others and he also hates touching others.

And this obsession with cleanliness only works on Jiang Wanqing.

The handkerchief was thrown into the trash can next to him. The man walked out of the ward alone and made a phone call.

"What about her?"

On the other end of the phone, he replied respectfully, "Master, Miss Jiang is still in the basement."

"He didn't...he didn't give in, and he didn't eat. He just curled up in the corner, not moving."

Is it so difficult to make her say that she loves him?

Gu Shiche's grip on the phone tightened a little, his brows slightly furrowed.

"The basement door was not locked and was still wide open, but Miss Jiang was unwilling to come out."

"Master, if this continues...Miss Jiang might not be able to hold on any longer."

"The doctor also said that her health condition is very bad and she may not be able to be treated at home."

"If you have something to say, just tell me!" Gu Shiche shouted angrily.

The person on the other end of the phone was visibly shocked, speaking with his tail between his legs: "The doctor said... he needs to be sent to the hospital."

Jiang Wanqing was forcing him and testing his bottom line.

Oh, woman, do you want to be in control so much?

"Go ahead, I'll be there in a moment."

Gu Shiche walked out of the hospital. Zhou Yuhe was the only patient on the entire floor, and everyone was surrounding her.

This is a one-story cage, just for Zhou Yuhe.

This is also Jiang Wanqing's cage, locking her to himself.

He was indeed extending Zhou Yuhe's life, at least until the baby fell in love with him.

This is Zhou Yuhe's only value to him.

……

Jiang Wanqing was very weak and she refused to eat or drink water.

The doctor said she was severely malnourished, had lost a lot of weight, and her skeleton was exposed under her clothes.

Just fainted like that.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the white walls of the hospital.

She...is not in that cage.

Jiang Wanqing sat up and looked at the lively stranger around her.

She wasn't dreaming, she was really in the outside world.

Suddenly, a bold idea came into her mind.
