After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter Sixty-Four: I Really Just Came to Visit

"Mr. Huo, you've misunderstood." Shen Yuan became even more humble: "Her grandmother is seriously ill, and I asked her to go and see her."

"What does her grandmother matter?" Huo Yubai scoffed. "My life is more important!"

Shen Yuan: "..."

That's not human language!

Gu Heng frowned: "Huo Yubai, what you're saying is too heartless. Is your life worth more than other people's?"

"It would be better if that old woman died," Huo Yubai replied coldly.

Gu Heng said in a deep voice, "Huo Yubai, do you know what you're saying?"

"Gu Heng, Huo Yubai is right." I stepped forward: "Gu Heng, I just won't treat the old woman. If you're unhappy, you can report me. I'm not afraid!"

After saying that, I pulled Huo Yubai away.

It's too dangerous to leave him here.

I came out of the hospital.

I released Huo Yubai's hand and said coldly, "Don't tell me you've come to see a doctor again?"

"I'm here to visit you in the hospital. I have a friend who is sick and hospitalized. I just saw Liu Shengyan and her mother and that's when I found out your grandmother was here for treatment, so I came to find you."

"Don't worry about my affairs. Don't you know that worrying too much is bad for your heart recovery?" I frowned. "Also, in the future, you don't need to argue with Shen Yuan and Gu Heng in front of me. I can handle it myself."

Huo Yubai was protecting me.

I know.

I just don't want to accept this favor.

Regardless of whether this kindness came from his own heart or was entrusted by someone else.

"I really just came to take a look." Huo Yubai looked at me cautiously.

A man who is 1.89 meters tall acts like a puppy in front of me.

"Go back now." I waved my hand. "I have something to do."

He pursed his lips and remained silent.

I took two steps.

A black sedan stopped in front of me.

Then a man who looked like a butler got out of the car.

I narrowed my eyes slightly.

"Professor Shen Yan?" The middle-aged man walked up to me. "I am the Gu family's butler. They all call me Fifth Uncle. Madam Gu requests your presence."

"What do you want me to do?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"She's not feeling well, and she's heard that Professor Shen is very skilled in acupuncture. She wants you to treat her," Uncle Wu explained.

“Sure, but my consultation fee is very expensive.” I raised an eyebrow.

"The Gu family is not short of money," Fifth Uncle said in a deep voice.

"Let's go then." I smiled lazily.

Fifth Uncle opened the car door.

After I got in the car, he closed the door and drove away.

Huo Yubai watched the car drive away, feeling very worried.

He called a car and decided to go and see what was going on.

Half an hour later.

I finally arrived at the Gu family's old house.

The collateral branches of the Gu family have already moved out.

Only Gu Heng's lineage remains here.

With Madam Gu in charge of the old house, the collateral branches of the family dared not cause trouble.

My fifth uncle invited me to the villa.

He asked me to sit in the living room and wait a moment, then went to invite Madam Gu.

"Have some tea." A familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out.

A middle-aged woman placed a cup of hot tea in front of me.

I looked up: "Aunt Liu, is that you?"

The woman in front of him was Gu Heng's mother.

Although her complexion wasn't great, it was much better than it had been five years ago.

I just never expected her to show up at the Gu family's old house.

Liu Yanran smiled and said, "Shen Yan, it's been a long time. You've become more and more beautiful."

"Thank you for your compliment." Although I had many questions in my mind.

But this is not the right occasion to ask.

Liu Yanran seemed to want to say something more to me.

Uncle Wu came out of the room: "Professor Shen, the old lady invites you to her room."

"Okay." I got up and left.

After I entered the bedroom, Liu Yanran immediately sent a message to Gu Heng, telling him that Shen Yan had come to the Gu family's old house.

After she sent the message, she turned around and was startled by her fifth uncle standing behind her.

Fifth Uncle looked at her with a gloomy expression.

"Fifth Uncle, is there something you need?" she asked with an awkward smile.

"The old lady wants chicken soup, go heat it up," Uncle Wu said and left.

Liu Yanran clenched her fingers, thinking that once the old man died, she would be the mistress of the house.

Let's see who dares to talk to her like that now!

in the room.

I met Madam Gu.

She had a full head of silver hair, a dignified appearance, and a solemn expression.

"Are you Shen Yan?" she asked in a cool and indifferent tone.

"Yes." I replied calmly. "I heard that the old lady sought my medical advice. Is that true?"

"What, you suspect I'm faking illness?" Old Madam Gu sneered. "At my age, I'm riddled with ailments. If you think there's a problem, you can take my pulse."

"There's no need for a pulse diagnosis." I smiled slightly. "After all, the old lady's purpose isn't to have me treat her illness."

"You're quite clever." Old Madam Gu narrowed her eyes. "Let's not beat around the bush. Are you trying to stir up trouble for the Gu family this time?"

"How do you know?" I asked, looking at her.

"Because of your mother." Old Madam Gu was quite direct: "Back then, your mother was assassinated and had an accident. I heard that you pinned the blame for this on the Gu family."

"Isn't that right?" I looked at her with a seemingly cold expression. "Madam Gu, I spoke with the person who attacked my mother, and he admitted that he had taken money from the Gu family."

"Heh." Old Madam Gu glanced at me: "How do you know he didn't take money from others and then slander the Gu family?"

"That's why I came, wanting to hear Madam Gu's explanation," I said calmly.

Madam Gu said coldly, "I don't like Gu Heng. Although he manages the company quite well, his mother is really unpleasant. She seems gentle, but she's actually petty and narrow-minded. Not to mention her family background, her parents spend money on her not to cultivate her studies, but to teach her how to seduce men. It's a joke that a woman from such a family can enter my Gu Jue's door!"

She looked down on Liu Yanran from the bottom of her heart.

"Since Madam Gu dislikes her, why did she let her move in?" I asked, puzzled.

"If I let it go unchecked, she'll start disturbing Yutong and the others' lives," said Madam Gu, sipping her tea.

Yutong should be Gu Heng's biological father's legal wife.

“Miss Shen, you are a smart woman. I hate them so much. Since Gu Heng likes you and doesn’t marry Zhao Baixue, it’s a good thing for me, and it’s also a good thing for Yutong and her son. Do you think we would hurt your mother to give you this warning?”

"I understand what you're saying." I snorted. "That's why I didn't put all the blame on you. I know who to talk to."

"Men are different from women. Sometimes, even if a child isn't their biological child, they'll treat the child as their own if it's born to a woman they love." Old Madam Gu said meaningfully, "It's right for you to avenge your mother, but I don't want you to drag the entire Gu family down with you."

I narrowed my eyes: "So, Madam Gu has tacitly approved of this? I laid a hand on Gu Heng's biological father, won't you interfere?"
