No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Elderly Lady Gu seemed to be serious about her words, but Qin Muxuan wasn’t afraid of her at all. Just now Qin Muxuan had been thinking that Elderly Lady Gu might not have been involved in this. However, hearing Elderly Lady Gu’s words, Qin Muxuan wasn’t so sure about her former assumption and snorted,

“So, Elderly Lady Gu, you are even willing to drive me away at the cost of your son’s life?!”

The look on Elderly Lady Gu’s face changed right away. Then she said in a sharp voice,

“What the hell are you talking about?!”

“When I arrived at the hospital, Master Gu has already been sent to the emergency room. So I have a reason to doubt that you have tampered with his infusion bottle from the beginning because you wanted to frame me. But Elderly Lady Gu, I believe humans all have feelings, how can you do that to your own son!”

Qin Muxuan said with certainty, making Elderly Lady Gu a bit restless. She did have asked Yan Yuxiao to change the normal saline in Gu Heng’s infusion bottle to glucose, but she had already consulted the doctor about the dosage of the glucose, so there shouldn’t be any problem.

However, according to Qin Muxuan’s words, Gu Heng’s condition had clearly got much worse this time. ‘Did Yuxiao increase the dosage?’ Thinking of that, Elderly Lady Gu was speechless instantly. Qin Muxuan regarded that as a sign of guilt, so she walked upstairs at once. Qin Muxuan really was fed up with the old lady. She had known that Elderly Lady Gu didn’t like her, but she never realized that Elderly Lady Gu would sacrifice Gu Heng, her own son, to drive her away.

She had learned a bit of today’s situation. Gu Heng almost died of cardiac failure. If no one had discovered his condition or saved him in time, his life would have been in great danger. She had never met Gu Heng before, but she could feel Gu Zijin’s pain. So she assumed that Gu Heng must have been a good father before he got sick.

Gu Zijin stayed in the study for the whole night. Qin Muxuan hadn’t slept because she was worried about him. While she was listening to the ticktock of the clock, she closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

At one o’clock in the morning, Qin Muxuan heard a slight sound. Then she opened her eyes right away. She always had a light sleep, so she was extremely sensitive to sound. After that, she sensed a faint smell of cigarette. ‘Is Gu Zijin smoking right now?’ Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan sat up and recognized where Gu Zijin was in the dark with difficulty. Then she said,

“Gu Zijin, are you all right?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. Help me fetch a few pills to ease my stomachache.”

Qin Muxuan got dazed at first, but came back to her sense at once. Then she reached out her hand to turn on the bedside lamp. As the warm yellow light filled the room, she saw the pale face of Gu Zijin as well as the cold sweats on his forehead. Qin Muxuan put on her slippers right away and walked downstairs in a hurry to pour a glass of warm water. After that, she brought the pills to Gu Zijin. After Gu Zijin had taken the pills with the water, he compressed his lips and put his hand on his belly. Qin Muxuan used a towel to wipe the sweats on Gu Zijin’s forehead with a frown, saying,

“Are you feeling uncomfortable now? Do you need to go to hospital?”

“No, I’ll be fine in a while. I’m OK.”

Gu Zijin lay on the bed again and leaned to one side with his eyes closed.

Qin Muxuan couldn’t sleep.

She had been paying attention to Gu Zijin who was lying behind her back. After she found that Gu Zijin truly had fallen asleep, she let out a sign of relief and closed her eyes.

Qin Xiaobai had been accompanying Mrs. Gu in the hospital. The latter was afraid that Qin Xiaobai might get sleepy so she had asked Uncle Chen to drive him home a few times. However, Qin Xiaobai refused to go back and said considerately,

“Grandma, I’m not sleepy at all. I can wait here with you. Grandma will live a long life, he’s going to be fine.”

Mrs. Gu was deeply touched. She never realized that Xiaobai would be so sensible at such a young age. Then she couldn’t help but adore this boy more.

Qin Xiaobai held Mrs. Gu’s hand and said in a tender voice,

“Grandma, when will grandpa wake up? I want to meet him.”

As Mrs. Gu heard that, she showed a sad look on her face while rubbing Qin Xiaobai’s head,

“Grandpa will like you a lot when he sees you. Xiaobai, as long as you want him to wake up, he will be awake very soon.”

Qin Xiaobai blinked while his black eyes were sparkling. Then, he nodded and hugged Mrs. Gu. Although he had never seen his grandpa before, he still had a slightly good impression of the old man. Also, Qin Xiaobai thought, ‘If grandpa could recover from the illness, I could have another playmate.’

The next morning.

When Mrs. Gu and Qin Xiaobai were sent back home by Uncle Chen, it was not fully bright yet. Mrs. Gu’s eyes had already got red and swollen, but she still tried to put Qin Xiaobai to sleep in a tender voice. Gu Zijin happened to walk downstairs at this moment. As Mrs. Gu saw him, with the look on her face changing slightly, she said in a low voice,

“Why did Qin Muxuan show up in the hospital last night? Zijin, tell me the truth.”

Gu Zijin tried to look away and said in a deep voice,

“It has nothing to do with her. Perhaps someone with an evil intention has asked her to go there.”

His words were obviously a perfunctory answer. Mrs. Gu compressed her lips and said,

“I hope that she has nothing to do with this too. The sooner you find out the truth, the better.”

Mrs. Gu lowered her head, trying to hide the sadness in her eyes., She would never let go of the person who wanted to harm Gu Heng, no matter who that person was. It was a secret in the Gu Group that Gu Heng had been sick in hospital. What was more, she had told Gu Zijin to keep that secret from Qin Muxuan before, so Mrs. Gu couldn’t think of anyone who would be so cruel-hearted to harm Gu Heng.

As she remembered the feeling of standing outside the emergency room, Mrs. Gu was overwhelmed with grief.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Gu Zijin told Mrs. Gu to rest early and then the latter walked to her room. Her clothes were a little wet and her face was full of tiredness and bitterness. Gu Zijin seldom saw Mrs. Gu being like this and felt a light pain.

At breakfast time, Mrs. Gu didn’t come downstairs. When Xiaobai didn’t see Mrs. Gu coming on his seat, he couldn’t help saying,

“Dabai, I’ll bring breakfast to grandma later.”

Qin Muxuan stroked Qin Xiaobai’s head and said,

“Good boy, Xiaobai.”

Hearing Qin Muxuan’s compliment, Qin Xiaobai gave a sweet smile. Elderly Lady sat on her seat while still having some doubts about what happened last night. She was quite worried about Gu Heng’s condition, so after she had hesitated for a long while, she still said,

“Zijin, is Gu Heng all right?”

“Don’t worry, grandma, the doctor has already saved him.”

“Saved?”

As Elderly Lady Gu was chewing on that word, she really was heart-stricken. ‘What on earth has happened to Gu Heng? He needed to be saved?’ Having had only several bites, Elderly Lady Gu got upstairs right away with a dazed look on her face. She had never meant to harm Gu Heng. However, now that even Gu Zijin had said that, she couldn’t help wondering if Gu Heng’s condition really was that bad.

Thinking of that, Elderly Lady Gu felt ill at ease at once. Then she told Nanny Chen to contact Yan Yuxiao right away. In the meantime, after Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan finished breakfast, they left for their own companies separately.

The rumors about Qin Muxuan had already died down, so she could go back to work in the Qin Firm. When Qin Feng saw Qin Muxuan coming back, he took off his black-framed glasses with the corner of his lips raised, saying,

“Welcome back.”
