Chapter 106: Exposing Gu Xin
Chapter 106: Exposing Gu Xin
Fan Mingyang's eyes widened. Didn't the Fourth Master mean that Gu Xinxi liked his wife? !
Fan Mingyang shook his head and pursed his lips and said, "Fourth Master, you must have seen it wrong. Gu Xin is younger than the eldest young master, how could he like Madam? He may simply admire Madam. I like Madam very much too, but it's just the respect and love of a subordinate for his boss."
Fan Mingyang wanted to die now. The Fourth Master stopped him. It turned out to be something bad. Why did he set his sights on Gu Xin?
Gu Xin has never provoked the Fourth Master, and Gu Xin is still lying on the hospital bed and can't get up.
Li Jingyan listened to Fan Mingyang's words, stared at him calmly, and said lightly: "It is not difficult to see that Gu Xin likes my sister-in-law. The pillow jacket he gave to my sister-in-law, you must have seen it since you often go in and out of the old house. It is light green, with a Pikachu pattern, and the right size. He has already crossed the line by giving something to my sister-in-law. Think about it again, why is Gu Xin not afraid of death and is willing to protect my sister-in-law at the cost of his life? Five years of kindness should not make him even want to give up his life."
Li Jingyan's tone was neither warm nor cold, and every word he said struck Fan Mingyang's heart.
Fan Mingyang opened his mouth in disbelief. There was something in his throat but he couldn't utter it. Apart from going out on missions to protect his wife, he and Gu Xin were together day and night. Thinking about it this way, there were indeed some strange things about Gu Xin.
Fan Mingyang knew that Gu Xin was a lonely and aloof person who rejected people of the opposite sex from getting close to him, so he definitely didn't have a girlfriend. He also had never seen Gu Xin often chatting on his phone or going out to play during holidays.
That day, Fan Mingyang asked Gu Xin if he was going to give it away. Gu Xin chuckled for the first time, with tenderness in his eyes. Fan Mingyang thought he had fallen in love and wondered how he could have fallen in love without saying anything.
But the next day, he saw the pillow cover in the living room of the old house. Wasn't it knitted by Gu Xin himself? How did it end up in the hands of the lady? Fan Mingyang thought that the lady had taken it by force, and Gu Xin had no choice but to give it up.
Fan Mingyang was tense and felt cold in his heart.
He asked Li Jingyan, "Is this really the pillow jacket that Gu Xin gave to Madam personally?"
Li Jingyan nodded, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of white rice, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Fan Mingyang was completely unable to stand. The Fourth Master didn't need to lie about such things. But he didn't know what the Fourth Master wanted to do by telling him about Gu Xin.
Seeing Li Jingyan start eating, Fan Mingyang quickly walked over, picked up some food for him, and asked, "Fourth Master, you are telling me all this for some purpose, right? Just tell me, as long as it doesn't hurt Madam, I am willing to listen to you."
Li Jingyan was not polite either. He looked up at Fan Mingyang, his amber eyes showing a smile: "Gu Xin was seriously injured, his bones and muscles were damaged, even if his body recovers, he can't recover as before. I am worried about leaving my sister-in-law's safety in his hands. I'm sure you are also quite troubled by this matter."
Fan Mingyang remained silent and continued to pick up food. What the Fourth Master said was right. Gu Xin's arms and thighs were injured, and his body functions were gradually declining. It would be difficult for him to maintain a higher level of vigilance and combat effectiveness. It was hard to say whether he could defeat Fan Mingyang in the future. The safety of his wife was the top priority. Fan Mingyang had always wanted to mention this to his wife, but he was not able to open his mouth.
One is a good brother and the other is the boss. Besides, his wife would think that Fan Mingyang wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get promoted, which would make his wife have a bad impression of him. So Fan Mingyang gave up the idea.
"Gu Xin can't stay with my sister-in-law, Vice Captain Fan. Opportunities to rise to the top are rare and fleeting. You should know that outstanding people are desperately looking for opportunities. Staying where you are and taking things as they come is the sign of an incompetent and cowardly person."
Li Jingyan's words were like a breeze, floating silently into Fan Mingyang's ears and dealing a heavy blow to his heart.
"Fourth Master, I won't betray my brothers. Besides, if I do, Gu Xin won't be able to stay with the Madam anymore. He will be without a job and salary. What's the difference between this and killing him?" Fan Mingyang put down the chopsticks that he was using to pick up food for Li Jingyan and looked at him with a firm gaze.
Li Jingyan looked at the steamed sea bass on the plate and said slowly, "The Li family has strict rules and values etiquette. If someone finds out about Gu Xin's feelings for his sister-in-law in the near future, what do you think will happen to Gu Xin?"
Fan Mingyang was startled: "This——"
"The people in the Li family are not fools. Besides, just because you are not jealous of Gu Xin doesn't mean that the other bodyguards are. There are many thoughtful people among them. As long as Gu Xin stays in the Li family, he will be exposed one day. Some of them already know about Gu Xin's evil intentions towards my sister-in-law. Otherwise, how would I know?"
Fan Mingyang's face turned very ugly. The Fourth Master was using Gu Xin's future to force him to make a choice. If he didn't reveal it, sooner or later he would be exposed by others.
Gu Xin's end was even more tragic.
The person who exposes the truth and helps the lady eliminate the evildoer with ulterior motives will surely have a bright future.
Fan Mingyang didn't want these two things to happen. He clenched his fists helplessly. Today he finally witnessed how scheming the Fourth Master was. Such a smart and vicious person would be a disaster sooner or later if he kept him around!
Fan Mingyang only dared to curse in his heart, but on the surface he was still very respectful and polite.
Fan Mingyang stared at Li Jingyan, biting his lower lip until it was swollen, and then said: "You said so much, isn't it just to drive Gu Xin away? You definitely don't care whether I am the captain of Team A or not. If Gu Xin has offended you in any way, I apologize to you, and I hope you will show mercy."
The smile on Li Jingyan's lips gradually faded, his eyes were deep and cold: "He did offend me, if he stays in the Li family, I will never let him go."
Fan Mingyang felt like a huge rock was placed in his heart, depressed and uncomfortable. After a long while, he said to Li Jingyan: "I can reveal Gu Xin's evil intentions to Madam, but after this, you can't embarrass Gu Xin anymore. He has lost his job, and his life will be very difficult in the future."
Li Jingyan's eyes were hollow and his tone was cold: "Everything has its consequences. He should have thought about the consequences of his wrong thoughts."
Fan Mingyang was afraid of Li Jingyan, so he pushed the empty dining cart and quickly left the ward, and sent a bodyguard to clean up the table for Li Jingyan later.
After Zhan Ruoyin left, she stayed in Gu Xin's ward. She knew that Gu Xin did so much to protect her, so Zhan Ruoyin compensated Gu Xin well.
When Gu Xin saw Zhan Ruoyin peeling an apple for him personally, he would be lying if he said he was unhappy. However, his wife was so precious that she never had to do housework. Even the apples she ate were peeled by Mrs. Chen. Gu Xin did not dare to let Zhan Ruoyin peel the apple for him.
"Ma'am, I can peel it myself. You don't have to do these things for me."
Gu Xin leaned on the pillow at the head of the bed. Although the color of his lips had slightly regained its rosy color, they were still chapped. He kept staring at Zhan Ruoyin with his eyes, and his tenderness was about to overflow.
Unfortunately, Zhan Ruoyin was busy peeling an apple with her head down and didn't notice this scene.
"You fought with them for so long with your bare hands and suffered such serious injuries that it's difficult for you to even sit up. How can I let you peel the apple? Let me do it." Zhan Ruoyin said while peeling the apple without looking up.
In fact, Zhan Ruoyin had something hidden in her heart. She was afraid that if she let Li Jingyan go, something unexpected would happen in the future. Li Jingyan was vicious and cunning. He seemed to want to die, but he was actually using this method to protect himself and win the sympathy of others.
Her father just called and asked her to spare Li Jingyan's life. After all, he was a member of the Li family, and he would be embarrassed if he killed someone. Besides, so many people pleaded for him. If she really killed Li Jingyan, Zhan Ruoyin would definitely not be able to stay in the Li family, and her two sons would resent her.
My father also said that when Li Jingyan was sent to an isolated island abroad, he should be taken good care of and nothing should happen to him. Servants could be easily bribed and their words could not be believed. If there was time, I should try to go to the island in person to take a look to prevent Li Jingyan from leaving with any evil intentions.
