Chapter 1020: Chapter 1019: Gu Anxi Really Is in Qingcheng!
Qin Siyuan patted her head gently and said, "Maybe the license plates are similar."
"That car, Qingcheng can’t find a second one like it," she whispered, "Not many people drive around in a car worth tens of millions like her."
After a while, she added, "But she couldn’t possibly drive here, could she? It’s three hours away, and her health isn’t great right now."
After speaking, she felt a bit dejected herself and lowered her head, saying nothing more.
Qin Siyuan reached out to touch her face, smiling faintly, "Maybe her not coming is also for your own good."
After all, the relationships involved are too complicated.
As he said this, Gu Mingzhu looked up, a bit confused, "Really?"
He smiled, "Yes."
Gu Mingzhu bit her lip, speaking in a small voice, "Then she’s not mad at me, is she?"
She looked at Qin Siyuan, a bit eagerly.
Qin Siyuan sighed, reaching out to pull her into a hug. She resisted slightly; after all, they weren’t truly a couple yet and weren’t that close. She wasn’t used to it.
Yet he was quite assertive, holding her waist firmly to prevent her from escaping, until she obediently leaned against his shoulder. His voice was slightly hoarse, "I always feel you care about her more than you care about me, hmm?"
He finished speaking and turned his head to look at her.
Gu Mingzhu lay in his arms, her body trembling slightly, her voice also somewhat shaky, "No, I’m not."
"Then why do you keep bringing her up?" he laughed gently.
Gu Mingzhu stopped speaking, wanting to get up but was restrained by him, who chuckled lightly, "What’s the rush!"
She was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and kissed her.
After a long, long time, she leaned against his shoulder, not knowing where to place her hands, finally lying them gently on his waist. At this moment, neither of them wanted to speak, only wanting to be close together.
Their situations were quite similar; one had almost lost all family, and for the other, almost all family were no longer close, with the person she liked least becoming her only family.
"Qin Siyuan." She leaned in his arms, speaking softly, "I’m actually not that great; will you regret it later?"
Qin Siyuan smiled, "I never thought you were that great either."
He had to admit, he didn’t value her for her talents or her family background; it was mainly her looks and her stubborn nature, or maybe her reliance on him. He also admitted he liked pretty girls, which wasn’t wrong for a man.
Yet when he said this, she got angry, hitting him a few times, "Qin Siyuan, you’re too annoying."
He laughed, "This is annoying?"
He lowered his head, lightly pinching her cheek, with a bit of mischief.
He was usually steady and self-controlled, but with such a proud and capricious young girl, he seemed to enjoy teasing her.
Gu Mingzhu was furious, chasing after him to hit him, completely forgetting about Gu Anxi.
Later on, she inevitably ended up in his arms, the atmosphere inside the cramped car turned romantic. Just as Gu Mingzhu lost track of time, Qin Siyuan’s phone rang, and she pushed away slightly, "You have a call."
He didn’t want to care, "I’m getting married tomorrow; nothing’s more important."
Gu Mingzhu was terribly shy, dodging him as she fished the phone out of his pocket, trembling as she handed it to him, her voice hoarse, "It’s your sister."
Qin Siyuan let out a long breath, released her, leaned back against the seat, and answered the phone, his voice still hoarse, "Sister, what’s up?"
On the other end, Qin Siling was breathing heavily, trying to keep her voice calm as she spoke to Qin Siyuan, "Little An is sick, and now being taken to the hospital, might need surgery. Siyuan, I might not, sister might not be able to attend your wedding."
Qin Siyuan immediately sat up straight, holding Gu Mingzhu’s shoulder, "Is it serious?"
Qin Siling’s voice was on the verge of tears, "Maybe quite serious, Siyuan, I’ve booked a flight and am heading to the airport now."
Qin Siyuan replied hoarsely, "Alright, update me when you get there."
Qin Siling nodded and hung up.
Qin Siyuan put down the phone, looking at Gu Mingzhu, who seemed a bit dumbfounded and slowly asked, "Is it Sister Siling’s child?"
He nodded, "Yes, she got divorced at the beginning of the year, didn’t get custody of the child, so he stayed with his father."
Gu Mingzhu was in a daze, "Sister Siling must miss her child a lot, is there no chance of getting back together?"
Qin Siyuan said with a hint of bitterness, "They don’t love each other anymore, besides the Qin Family fell back then, the other party probably looks down on the Qin Family now. Maybe before, it was possible, but not anymore, even for the child."
She nodded, hugging his arm, "Should we make a trip to Beicheng or postpone tomorrow’s wedding?"
Qin Siyuan shook his head, "Everything’s already set, how can we postpone it? Plus, your family is all here, no matter what, there’s no way to delay it."
Just as he said, the phone rang again. It wasn’t anyone else but the former brother-in-law, Chu Huan, Qin Siling’s ex-husband.
Chu Huan immediately stated his purpose, "Siyuan, I know you and Little Gu have some connections, now Little An needs surgery. Could you talk to Little Gu to have her operate on him?"
There was a tone of pleading in his voice, "We’re at Yunxi Hospital, the attending doctor is Director Hao of the hospital, but Director Hao isn’t confident. He said Little An’s condition is quite difficult, with only a fifty percent success rate. He also mentioned that if Little Gu or Professor Bo were here, it would be foolproof. Siyuan, I know I owe your sister, but Little An is also your nephew; you can’t just watch him be in danger, can you?"
Qin Siyuan frowned, "Gu Anxi is not in Beicheng right now."
Chu Huan immediately said, "I found out, I found out, she’s now at a new hotel in Qingcheng, Professor Bo is also there. Go ask her now, the private jet is fast, Little An is still waiting. Siyuan, I’m begging you! As long as you can get Gu Anxi or Professor Bo to come for the surgery, I will immediately remarry your sister."
Qin Siyuan almost wanted to curse. He clenched his fingers into a fist, but in the end, he held back.
After a long while, his voice carried a hint of suppression, "These are two different things."
On the other end, Chu Huan said some more useless words, and Qin Siyuan was not in the mood to argue with him, he just said to think of a solution.
After the call ended, Gu Mingzhu said eagerly, "Anxi is in Qingcheng, but if she’s in Qingcheng, why doesn’t she come to see me?"
She seemed a bit foolish, and Qin Siyuan didn’t have much to say to her, so he just quietly gazed at her for a while before saying, "I’ll make a phone call."
Gu Mingzhu was startled and grabbed his hand, whispering, "She’s together with Brother Xichen now."
Her face turned red.
Qin Siyuan probably understood what she meant and warmly smiled, then pulled her into his embrace, "I still want to ask her for help on this matter."
He had gone through family ruin and company bankruptcy, and Qin Siling had to endure the additional pain of separation from her flesh and blood.
Perhaps it’s unfair to Anxi, but he owes her a favor.
Qin Siyuan’s phone called, and after about eight or nine rings, Gu Anxi picked up. He tried to speak about the matter in a calm voice, and on the other end, Gu Anxi was silent for about two seconds, "Alright, I’ll go to the airport immediately. Have Sister Si Lan wait for me there."
Qin Siyuan opened his mouth wanting to thank her, but his throat felt blocked.
Gu Anxi knew what he wanted to say and said calmly that it’s unnecessary.
Then she ruffled her hair, casually searching for clothes to wear, only to be pulled back by Bo Xichen, "You want to go to Beicheng by yourself?"
She was a bit embarrassed, "Yes, Uncle, you’re too tired."
She felt for him, having been busy all day and still having to manage her affairs. She wasn’t heartless.
Bo Xichen caressed her cheek and softly said, "I am indeed a bit tired, but let’s go together."
Having said that, he got out of bed, showered at lightning speed, put on clothes, and was out the door in less than ten minutes, driving straight to the airport using the hotel’s car.
Meanwhile, Qin Siyuan contemplated and decided to take Gu Mingzhu to the airport with him. With a private jet, they could go tonight and return by tomorrow morning to get married in time.
About half an hour later, everyone gathered at Qingcheng’s only airport. Qin Siling was in bad shape, but seeing Bo Xichen stabilized her emotions quite a bit, and Gu Mingzhu, who often spent time with her, thoughtfully took care of her.
On the private jet, everyone was tired and didn’t speak a word, all just resting.
Even if they couldn’t sleep, just leaning back was worthwhile.
Gu Mingzhu looked at Gu Anxi with lots to say but dared not, only daring to sneak peeks at her. In this group, she seemed to have the best energy.
About an hour later, the private jet landed in Beicheng, followed by a direct helicopter ride to Yunxi Hospital, taking less than three hours in total to reach the hospital.
Once they arrived at the hospital’s operating room door, it was crowded with people, after all, he was the Chu Family’s only grandson.
Chu Huan stood at the elevator entrance, and as soon as he saw them approaching, he hurried forward, "Si Lan, you’re finally here."
There was a tone of blame in his voice.
Qin Siling was used to his behavior and said nothing, but Gu Mingzhu quietly remarked, "We’ve flown here immediately."
Chu Huan was taken aback.
At this moment, Director Hao approached, speaking urgently to Bo Xichen, "Professor Bo, this is the medical record and scans, please have a look."
Bo Xichen walked towards his office while flipping through the pages. After reading a few pages, he halted, "Schedule the surgery immediately, we can’t wait."
He looked at Gu Anxi, "Can you assist me? Is that alright?"
Gu Anxi nodded, "No problem."
Bo Xichen continued, "Director Hao, please join us."
With three heavyweight surgeons together, it showed how difficult the surgery would be. The Chu Family members were tense, and Chu Huan wanted to ask, but Bo Xichen spoke while walking, "It’s inflammation that’s invaded the brain. A piece of brain bone is necrotic and must be removed immediately, it can’t be delayed."
He paused, "Too negligent, letting it get to this extent."
Director Hao also sighed.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Chu Huan, knowing he had mostly been out indulging over the past half year, neglecting the child, leaving the care to a nanny, and thus leading to this.
Qin Siling felt a deep sorrow, biting her lip hard.
Gu Anxi followed Bo Xichen to change into operating room attire, and Qin Siling suddenly grabbed her hand, her voice hoarse, "Anxi."
Her face and voice were filled with plea, and Gu Anxi understood, lightly patting her hand, "With Uncle around, don’t worry."
Qin Siling suddenly choked up, having many words to say but unable to utter any.
Gu Anxi hurried off.
Gu Mingzhu came over to support Qin Siling and softly said, "Anxi said it’ll be fine, so it will be fine." (More updates, check tomorrow.)
