After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter 131

"Are you OK."

Fu Yiran quickly ran to my side. Seeing that I kept vomiting, he reached out and patted my back with a light but firm touch.

I shook my head, my pale face even whiter than the wall, which startled Fu Yiran.

"Come on, I'll take you to the hospital first."

Upon hearing that we were going to the hospital, I quickly stopped her. If we had another check-up, the fact that I was pregnant would be impossible to hide.

"No, I'm just feeling nauseous."

I patted my chest, feeling nauseous, and suppressed my disgust as I followed him out.

Fu Yiran was afraid I would fall, so he took my arm. As soon as we came out, we saw Gu Jinhuai standing there dumbfounded at the door.

His complexion was not good, his eyes turned sharp and fierce, and he exuded a suffocating aura. His cold and detached voice was like an icicle, freezing the entire room.

"What are you doing?"

Fu Yiran, who was standing to the side, looked displeased and was about to argue when I stopped her.

"It's nothing, senior, you can go back now."

I forced a smile.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yiran did not leave as instructed. Instead, she turned her gaze to Gu Jinhuai and pointed to the express delivery boxes on the table: "These things need to be investigated thoroughly."

"Let me confirm first."

As Fu Yiran was speaking, he took out his phone and called Aunt Hui.

When asked if she had sent any packages to Beijing, Aunt Hui looked confused and said she hadn't. She was planning to have Su Qi bring some fresh food when she came on Sunday.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Aunt Hui's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, and I quickly said, "It's nothing, I just really want to eat the cookies Aunt Hui makes."

I tried to sound casual as I spoke.

"Oh, when Suqi goes there, Auntie will make you a lot. It's been so long since I've seen you. Come to Lincheng during your holiday, and Auntie will make you something delicious."

Aunt Hui's tone was joyful, and just by listening to her voice, you could tell she was very kind.

"it is good."

I readily agreed, but after hanging up the phone, I felt Gu Jinhuai's cold gaze lingering on me.

Fu Yiran noticed Gu Jinhuai's gaze, frowned slightly, and said in an unhappy tone: "Instead of staring at Nanzhi, you should see who prepared these things to intimidate her."

As Fu Yiran spoke, Gu Jinhuai's gaze fell on the express delivery box. When he saw the blood-red prosthetic limb inside, his brows furrowed.

"what happened?"

Gu Jinhuai looked at me with worry in his eyes.

"do not know."

I shook my head.

"Blood is the pigment."

Gu Jinhuai reached out and gently touched it, then smelled it. His brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, and his voice was low and cold.

Watching Gu Jinhuai's actions, I felt nauseous, but I couldn't help myself and ran to the bathroom again.

Just as Fu Yiran was about to go in, Gu Jinhuai stopped her: "This is my wife, Fu Yiran. Keep your distance. You and she are just friends."

"Madam? The marriage certificate is fake. Only Nan Zhi has a good personality and is willing to play along with your act. You're really boring. If I were you, I would investigate immediately and find out who is being threatened. Nan Zhi can't take a scare."

Fu Yiran looked at Gu Jinhuai with a cold expression, showing no fear whatsoever.

“Even if it’s an act, it’s not your place to bark here. This is our home. Please leave. As for this matter, I will handle it. You should spend your time thinking about how Mrs. Shao can avoid leaving with nothing.”

Gu Jinhuai glanced at him casually, quite pleased with the astonishment in his eyes. He reached out and patted his shoulder, raising his chin proudly like a victorious rooster.

"If I were you, I would be dealing with my own affairs right now."

Gu Jinhuai looked at Fu Yiran, who was standing still, and said nothing more before quickly walking towards the bathroom.

I heard footsteps and knew without guessing who it was. I quickly composed myself and washed my face.

"Are you OK."

Although I concealed it well, Gu Jinhuai saw my pale face and the lighter color of my lips as soon as he came in, which looked very scary.

"How are you?"

I ignored the concern in his eyes, a warm current flowing through my cold heart. I suppressed the strange feeling in my heart and said coldly, "You won't die."

I walked straight past him into the kitchen, poured myself a glass of vinegar, tilted my head back and drank it down. My whole mouth felt sour, but it worked; it suppressed the nausea.

Seeing my distressed expression, Gu Jinhuai frowned even more. Thinking of the packages, he asked, "Where did you pick up the packages from?"

"downstairs."

Seeing Gu Jinhuai about to leave, I quickly walked over and said, "I'll go too."

I think this is my business, and I should handle it myself.

Gu Jinhuai glanced at me, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he uttered a single "good".

"Hello, I'd like to ask, who delivered that package this morning? Did you see who it was?"

I asked politely, but the woman ignored me and said impatiently, "I'm sorry, we're very busy right now, and so many people come and go every day, how could we possibly remember them all? Please don't disturb our work."

After the woman finished speaking, she looked down at her phone and started playing games. I glanced down at her and saw that she was playing a game.

I gritted my teeth; I was really angry.

Gu Jinhuai, who was standing to the side, didn't tolerate her. He raised his hand and slapped all the packages on the table onto the ground.

"I'll give you one minute to speak properly, or next time it will be your boss who comes to talk to you."

Sure enough, the woman opposite was startled by Gu Jinhuai's imposing manner. She stared at Gu Jinhuai in astonishment, and after a moment of stunned silence, she stood up from her chair. A hint of fear flashed across her face. But she was the boss's relative, so what was he? However, he was indeed quite handsome.

However, what good is good looks? The woman composed herself, her narrow eyes sweeping over the two men before she replied with a forced smile, "Sir, we are indeed busy right now. You can wait here for a moment, or perhaps this afternoon..."

Before he could finish saying "two more," Gu Jinhuai was already impatient. His gaze fell on the sign hanging in the middle, which had the contact number for the person in charge. He quickly dialed the number.

Before the woman could stop him, the call was already connected. Gu Jinhuai's voice was deep and cold, carrying an air of authority: "Have your boss come to Fengning Street on Nantong Road immediately..."

Gu Jinhuai hung up the phone, slammed the package he was holding onto the table with a bang, and his sharp gaze swept over her. The woman who was about to speak immediately shut up.

He glanced back and forth between me and Gu Jinhuai a few times, knowing he couldn't afford to offend them, and immediately put on a standard smile.

"Sir, do you know our boss?"

Hearing her probing words, Gu Jinhuai ignored her, but his expression remained cold and aloof.

The woman, having been rebuffed, turned her gaze to me, which I completely ignored.

You really are playing favorites. I've been too easygoing, which has made you so confident.

Finally, the woman gave a low hum and left.

Her uncle was coming later, so she couldn't slack off and had to make a good impression on him.

"Get out of my way, I'll do these things."

The girl next to her, who was diligently sorting packages, was pushed and stumbled. Looking at her job being taken away, she bit her lip, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes, but there was nothing she could do, since the other person was related to the boss.

A few minutes later, a man dressed in black casual clothes and wearing a hat of the same color walked in and saw Gu Jinhuai.

"You just want to see me?"

However, when he saw Gu Jinhuai's face clearly, the man's indifference lessened, and he warmly welcomed him upstairs.

Seeing this, the woman beside him tugged at her uncle's sleeve and asked, "Uncle, do you know him?"

"Shut up."

The uncle gave a cold rebuke and looked at Gu Jinhuai.

"I wonder what business Mr. Gu has with me?"

When was this package delivered?

Gu Jinhuai spoke succinctly, his gaze falling on the few people present. Apart from fear and respect, their faces were expressionless.

"This……"

The man looked somewhat troubled: "I wasn't in the store yesterday, so you'll have to come and talk to me."

After asking around, I found that the store staff did not pay attention to the express delivery box.

I frowned. With so many people sending and receiving packages every day, it's normal not to remember them all. My gaze fell on the surveillance camera in the corner.

Gu Jinhuai also saw it and asked, "I wonder if it's convenient to see the surveillance footage?"

"Convenient, Mr. Gu's presence is certainly convenient."

The man looked eager.

Gu Jinhuai ignored his attempts to please him and asked him to lead the way directly to the monitoring room.

As I watched Gu Jinhuai's retreating figure, I murmured to myself, "It's really nice to be rich and powerful."

Gu Jinhuai, who was walking ahead, seemed to have noticed something and suddenly turned around. I felt a little guilty and quickly followed with a blank expression.

"This is all the surveillance footage from yesterday."

The staff retrieved yesterday's surveillance footage as instructed by General Manager Ling.

It was a long show with lots of scenes; I felt like my eyes were about to go blind from looking at it so much.

I glanced at the time; I had class in the afternoon. I frowned, about to speak, when Gu Jinhuai seemed to sense my thoughts, straightened up, looked at me, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
