After seeing the true nature of the woman he had been pursuing, the CEO's wife cried and begged

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Being Looked Down Upon

Sitting next to Old Master Gu was Gu's eldest sister-in-law.

She is also Gu Shuyan's stepmother, Lin Zishu.

Mrs. Gu was impeccably dressed and showed no signs of her age; to outsiders, she appeared to be only around thirty.

She looks more like Gu Shuyan's older sister.

Today, Gu Changfeng, the head of the Gu family, did not attend; everything was handled by Gu Shuyan.

This alone is enough to demonstrate Gu Shuyan's status in the Gu family.

Jiang Xin had never met Gu Shuyan's stepmother; at that time, Gu Shuyan's wife was still the legal wife.

Gu Shuyan frowned, and Jiang Xin also felt that this statement was inappropriate.

"Mrs. Gu, Xu Zirui's abilities are obvious to all. The Gu family has always been overseas, so it's natural that they haven't heard of him."

“I was in a car accident before and injured my leg. Even the experts couldn’t do anything about it. It was Xu Zirui who solved it.”

"Besides, he hasn't even made a move yet, so how can you be so sure of Xu Zirui's abilities?"

Jiang Xin spoke with neither humility nor arrogance, which surprised Xu Zirui somewhat, as this was the first time he had seen Jiang Xin speak up for him.

The thought that Jiang Xin had said these words for the sake of the Jiang Group filled Xu Zirui with bitterness.

"Since Dr. Xu is confident, let Dr. Xu take a look."

Gu Shuyan had a cold face, so Mrs. Gu didn't dare to continue to stop her.

There were just too many probing eyes around her, and she was worried that it would backfire on her.

Xu Zirui stepped forward silently.

Xu Zirui smiled faintly as he half-squatted in front of Grandpa Gu.

"Grandpa Gu, don't worry, I will do my best."

Xu Zirui didn't dare to make any boasts; the previous three years had all been about addressing the root causes.

Only in this way can Jiang Xin's condition be guaranteed to improve.

Now that he's suddenly become so proficient, Xu Zirui is also a little nervous.

Gu Shuyan watched intently from the side, glancing at Jiang Xin every now and then, seemingly questioning her.

Jiang Xin also began to worry at this point.

If Xu Zirui can't do it, how am I supposed to explain it to the Gu family?

At this moment, Jiang Xin felt a mix of emotions, and even some regret.

Xu Zirui was unaware of Jiang Xin's attitude towards him; he was currently only looking at the old man in front of him.

"Young man, don't be stressed. I've consulted many people about this leg, but none of them have helped me."

"I've already resigned myself to fate."

Grandpa Gu smiled and comforted Xu Zirui, understanding the pressure Xu Zirui was under at the moment.

Xu Zirui remained silent for a while.

“Grandpa Gu, there is a way to treat your leg, but it is a bit special.”

"If I could go to the hospital for a detailed examination, I would be more confident."

Xu Zirui gave his own answer.

Grandpa Gu was somewhat surprised, and even the Gu family members beside him showed curiosity.

"Are you kidding?"

"Many experts say there's nothing that can be done about the old man's legs. Can you really fix it?"

When the Gu family members spoke, their words were filled with trouble.

Xu Zirui nodded slightly.

"I have no reason to joke about this."

"There's about a 40% chance. If I could get a detailed check-up at the hospital, I'd be even more certain."

Xu Zirui spoke earnestly, but the Gu family fell silent.

Gu Shuyan, in particular, seemed to have doubts.

Seeing the state of the Gu family, Jiang Xin felt a vague unease.

"Jiang Xin, thank you for coming today. You've taken good care of my grandfather."

Gu Shuyan's words clearly indicated that he wanted to get rid of people.

Jiang Xin was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at Xu Zirui.

Xu Zirui frowned.

"Mr. Gu, I'm telling the truth..."

Before Xu Zirui could finish speaking, Gu Shuyan interrupted him.

"Dr. Xu, we need to think about this matter carefully. It's not that we don't trust you, and we appreciate your hard work this time."

Gu Shuyan's words were cold, even revealing a hint of impatience.

Xu Zirui was about to continue persuading her after hearing this, but Jiang Xin quickly stepped forward.

"Alright, come with me, let's not bother President Gu anymore."

After saying that, Jiang Xin took Xu Zirui and left.

The gossip from the Gu family was ignored.

After leaving the restaurant, Xu Zirui simply stood by the roadside, letting the night wind wash over him.

Jiang Xin merely glanced at him disdainfully.

"Let's go, you've had a hard day."

Jiang Xin explained all her actions with a single, understated sentence.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zirui's long-suppressed emotions finally erupted.

"In your heart, I am a dispensable existence, someone you can even use as a bargaining chip."

"Jiang Xin, when did you become like this?"

Xu Zirui questioned, but Jiang Xin only gave a cold laugh.

“Xu Zirui, you should be happy, at least you still have a chance for me to use.”

"Old Master Gu, are you really confident?"

Jiang Xin's gaze held a hint of probing.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zirui sneered.

Even now, Jiang Xin is still worried about these things.

With a helpless smile, Xu Zirui shook his head.

"Jiang Xin, you should have heard what I just said."

"That's all I'm saying."

After Xu Zirui finished speaking, he raised his hand and hailed a taxi.

“I will be taking care of He Yuqing at the hospital for the time being, and I will also take care of my grandmother’s meals.”

"I hope Mr. Jiang can understand."

After saying that, Xu Zirui closed the car door.

Jiang Xin didn't even have a chance to speak before Xu Zirui left.

Secretly clenching her fists, Jiang Xin bit her lower lip, her heart filled with anger.

A car stopped next to Jiang Xin.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Gu Shuyan.

"President Jiang, you left in such a hurry that I didn't have a chance to catch up with you properly."

After Gu Shuyan finished speaking, her eyes were filled with warmth.

Seeing this, Jiang Xin didn't think much of it and got into the car immediately.

"Where is Dr. Xu?"

Gu Shuyan asked curiously, and Jiang Xin was taken aback.

He gave an awkward laugh before continuing, "Xu Zirui will go back first. I'm really sorry about what happened today."

"I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Jiang Xin looked slightly apologetic, while Gu Shuyan chuckled.

"Jiang Xin, there's nothing to apologize for. On the contrary, I should be the one apologizing. The Gu family harbors a certain hostility towards doctors."

"We just encountered quite a few scammers, so we were somewhat wary."

After saying that, Gu Shuyan continued, "But, are you really divorced?"

After Gu Shuyan finished speaking, Jiang Xin was taken aback, and then nodded.

"I was with Xu Zirui out of necessity."

"However, Xu Zirui is indeed capable; perhaps we can take the old man to see him."

After saying these words, Gu Shuyan simply smiled.

"Let the old man decide this matter. Jiang Xin, you must have some purpose in coming to see me tonight, right?"

After Gu Shuyan finished speaking, Jiang Xin was somewhat surprised, not expecting Gu Shuyan to be so direct.

"Mr. Gu, I don't understand what you're trying to say."

Jiang Xin pretended to be stupid, but Gu Shuyan just smiled after hearing this.

"Jiang Xin, I am really happy to see you again, but I also hope that you can be more honest, just like when we were kids."
