Chapter 152 Relations Ease

Xu Zirui agreed with Jiang Xin's idea.

The presence of Bai Yu here will always pose a threat to the Jiang family.

Jiang Xin also had to make her own decision at this time.

Thinking of this, Xue Zirui took a deep breath.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Upon hearing Xu Zirui's words, Jiang Xin immediately shook her head.

"I don't need you to do anything. Just having your approval is enough for me."

Jiang Xin smiled slightly, while Xu Zirui seemed a little dazed.

He hadn't seen Jiang Xin smile like that in a long time.

You look better when you smile.

Xue Zirui burst out laughing as soon as he said this, and Jiang Xin blushed.

He quickly turned his head away.

"Now that you're alright, I'm ready to leave."

Jiang Xin stood up and prepared to leave.

"I also need to go and see Grandpa Gu; I'm still a little worried about him."

As soon as Xue Zirui finished speaking, Jiang Xin also realized what was going on.

"I've investigated the perfume scent you mentioned last night; it should be on Mrs. Lin."

Is there anything I don't know about this?

Jiang Xin looked at Xu Zirui with a puzzled expression.

"This is just a guess. There are some bruises on Old Master Gu's body. I suspect they are related to Madam Lin. When I entered the ward, I smelled a special fragrance."

"But there was a hint of meat in it, so I suspect that someone brought food to Grandpa Gu while I was away."

Xu Zirui spoke his mind.

He had specifically instructed Grandpa Gu to take good care of his health.

He needed to eat a light diet, and this extra meal of meat made his health deteriorate.

Upon hearing Xue Zirui's words, Jiang Xin's eyes also showed a hint of surprise.

Obviously, they didn't expect this outcome.

"If that's the case, what benefit would Mrs. Lin gain from doing this?"

Jiang Xin was puzzled. Once this matter was discovered, Madam Lin would probably not be able to maintain her position in the Gu family.

Xu Zirui was also unaware of this, as it was a matter for the Gu family.

"I understand. I'll remind Gu Shuyan too."

Jiang Xin suddenly remembered something, and an awkward expression appeared on her face.

"The relationship between me and Gu Shuyan is not what you imagine; it's just a collaboration between us."

Jiang Xin explained, but Xue Zirui just smiled.

"This is Miss Jiang's own business, there's no need to explain so much to me."

When Xue Zirui finished speaking, Jiang Xin's expression froze for a moment.

"I thought you had already forgiven me."

Jiang Xin was somewhat embarrassed, but Xu Zirui only sighed slightly when he got to this point.

"We are both single now, and it is our right to be with whomever we want. I will not stop us."

"However, I also think that President Gu is a good choice. If you can really be with him, that would be great too."

When Xue Zirui finished speaking, Jiang Xin's eyes were already filled with coldness.

"Do you think I'm that kind of woman?"

"Or do you think I'm not as good as their Gu family?"

Jiang Xin questioned him, and Xue Zirui was only stunned when he heard this.

"That's not what I meant. I just think the two of you are a good match."

Xue Zirui looked helpless, and Jiang Xin was displeased to see him like this.

"If that's all you're thinking, then I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

"I don't need your pity."

After saying this, Jiang Xin quickly turned and left.

Xu Zirui simply watched that figure leave in silence, a bitter look appearing in his eyes.

What does Jiang Xin mean by this expression? Isn't he the one who abandoned him back then?

In Grandpa Gu's hospital room, Xue Zirui carefully examined the wound.

"You're quite the surgeon, kid."

"No wonder Lao Wu recommended you so highly, but you've worked hard too."

Grandpa Gu smiled.

But what she met was Xu Zirui's cold gaze.

This moment also made Old Master Gu feel somewhat dazed.

“Grandpa Gu, I should have explicitly forbidden you from eating meat before.”

"And you've also been drinking."

Xue Zirui said all of this, and when Old Master Gu heard this, his expression changed for a moment.

He coughed violently, trying to hide the panic in his eyes, but Xu Zirui wasn't having any of it.

"Who sent it to you? And what happened to the bruises on your body?"

Xu Zirui voiced all his questions, and Grandpa Gu sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

"I'm all better now, so there's no need for us to dwell on this."

Xu Zirui frowned upon hearing what Grandpa Gu said.

"Did Mrs. Lin threaten you?"

As soon as Xu Zirui finished speaking, Old Master Gu immediately shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with that woman; it was all my own choice."

Grandpa Gu spoke humbly, but Xu Zirui quickly understood the problem.

“If it has nothing to do with Mrs. Lin, then you wanted to do it yourself.”

"But what is the point of all this?"

Xu Zirui couldn't understand why Old Master Gu didn't know the situation of the people around him.

She seemed to have noticed the curiosity in Xu Zirui's eyes.

Grandpa Gu sighed deeply.

"There are some things you, as a doctor, don't need to know."

"You have done everything you were supposed to do."

Grandpa Gu said this to persuade Xu Zirui that some things were not something he, as a doctor, could get involved in.

"I will be discharged from the hospital soon, and these things will not happen again then."

After Grandpa Gu finished speaking, he prepared to send Xu Zirui away.

But Xue Zirui shook his head helplessly after hearing what Grandpa Gu said.

"If we hadn't discovered it in time last night, you might already be gone."

"Is this what you wanted to see?"

“We pumped your stomach last night and found some irritating medication in your body.”

"I also believe that this is not what you, sir, wanted to eat."

Xue Zirui handed a toxicology test report to Grandpa Gu.

"These drugs are used in very small amounts, but they can damage your internal organs immediately."

"But in general, it will heal on its own in a couple of days. However, if surgery is being prepared, these trace amounts of medication can turn into a highly toxic poison."

After Xu Zirui finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Old Master Gu.

"Now that things have come to this, I hope you can tell me the truth."

Xu Zirui's gaze was serious.

Grandpa Gu remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"You guessed it, I asked that woman to bring me something."

"But I never expected her to drug me. I must have been blind."

Grandpa Gu clenched his fist, then relaxed it the next second.
