The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 273 Jumping Out of the Fire Pit

"You don't know how selfish the Gu family has always been. Besides, Xie Yao is carrying a boy. If I weren't still of use, they might not have given me any of their inheritance, hehe..."

“Boys…yes! If we were all boys, neither Grandpa nor Dad would have disliked us so much…If there is an afterlife, I will never be reborn into the Gu family. Such family life is too painful…” She remembered that when her mother was alive, she often regretted not having a son, which made her feel very awkward in the compound and with the Gu family.

"Lele, you've escaped the fire pit," Yun Shu comforted her.

"Yes, I'm out now, I'm free!" Yun Le said happily after thinking for a moment.

After a long pause, Yun Shu finally spoke again: "If you're free this Saturday, have dinner at the Shengshi Hotel."

"Have a meal? Is there something you need?" He invited her to dinner out of the blue.

"No, it's just a belated wedding ceremony. When Mingkun and I got married, we only registered our marriage. Now that he feels wronged, I want to hold a belated ceremony. It's nothing, just a meal. Consider it my family attending."

Yun Shu thought it best to invite Yun Le and treat her as an ordinary friend; whether Yun Le went or not was her own business.

"I think... never mind, I'll see how it goes... Oh right! Don't let my sister know, she's getting engaged this month too." She was speechless at the thought of Yun Huan's engagement to Gao Yao.

Yun Shu understood her meaning; she was afraid that Yun Huan would cause trouble later.

"it is good."

After Yun Le left, Yun Shu was filled with emotion. Yun Le had helped her a few times, but had also hurt her once. Perhaps the good deeds and bad deeds should be balanced. She was not a saint and could not completely open her heart to accept someone who had hurt her as a good friend. At present, their relationship was already very good.

To her surprise, Yun Huan's mother had only been gone for less than a month, and she was already getting engaged. Was this woman in such a hurry to be reborn? Thinking about it, Li Meng was really pitiful. She gave birth to such a daughter, which caused her to lose her position as the wife of the Gu family. She was kicked out of the Gu family because of her and eventually lost her life.

It's really sad to think about. I'd rather just strangle her than have a daughter like that. I went to work with a heavy heart.

When Yun Le entered the ward, she saw that it was Ah Zhong who was keeping watch over Gu Cheng, who was still lying motionless on the bed.

"how is he?"

"You seem to be feeling better. You've finally remembered to come see him!" It was quite unexpected that Yun Le would come. Logically, after being kicked out of the Gu family, she should hate the old man.

"Hmph! He's my dad after all. He raised me for over twenty years. It wouldn't be right for me not to come and visit him." Yun Le said self-deprecatingly. She no longer had the same admiration and pride for Gu Cheng as she did when she was a child, but she still remembered his kindness in raising her and how he would occasionally stand up for her when she had conflicts with the Sheng family after she married into the family.

“Yes! Master… he can be a bit ruthless sometimes, but he’s not a bad person. He’s just very family-oriented… the responsibility of the family weighs on his shoulders, so it’s inevitable that he’ll be biased in his considerations.” Ah Zhong couldn’t help but explain.

"Really... Hehe... It doesn't matter anymore, Ah Zhong... How old are you this year?"

"Thirty-two years old, why are you asking that?" Yun Le asked him his age, somewhat baffled.

"Aren't you going to get married?"

"People like us don't care about those things anymore..." He smiled bitterly. He was just a servant; what good girl would want to marry someone of their status?

"So what is it that you care about?"

After Yunle finished asking her question, she stared at him. Ah Zhong turned his face away, avoiding her gaze. However, his ears turned red. Yunle's question had successfully stirred his heart, which was as calm as a still pond. What was it that he cared about? The image of someone in his heart gradually became clearer.

"Forget it, he's such a quiet, wooden person. I'll come see him again next time. If he shows any unusual behavior, call me; after all, we were once father and daughter."

Ah Zhong finally nodded.

Ah Zhong watched Yun Le leave. He had watched her grow up and marry. She was the only person in the Gu family who was willing to talk to him. He had grown up in the Gu family, but he was a servant. His parents had taught him from a young age that there was a difference between master and servant, and that he must always be mindful of his place and not do anything beyond his status. Therefore, he could only keep the person he liked deep in his heart. When she asked him what he cared about just now, he almost blurted it out, but he held back. He knew his place.

Even if he likes her, he won't show it. She's already suffered enough; she deserves a better man to protect her...

When Yun Shu came to check on the patients, she saw Ah Zhong lost in thought as usual, and couldn't help but admire him. At such a young age, he sat quietly with Gu Cheng every day, just like Old Zeng, without saying a word. Like a mute, she had once thought he was mute and couldn't speak. Later, she overheard him talking to Yun Le and realized that he could actually speak, but he just didn't want to.

"Are you about to get off work?" Ah Zhong and another caregiver who takes care of Gu Cheng take turns looking after him.

"Okay! He'll be here in a bit." After saying that, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something more.

"What do you want to say?" Yun Shu sensed his hesitation, clearly indicating that he had something to say.

"If Yunle ever gets into trouble in the future, please help her. She's actually quite kind; it's just that she became like that because of Sheng Huainan back then."

"Ah Zhong, do you... like Yun Le?"

Ah Zhong immediately shook his head; he himself didn't know why he was saying these things.

Yun Shu stared at the man. He was very silent in the Gu family. The only time she saw him speak to Yun Le was when Yun Le was kicked out of the Gu family. He was probably worried about her. Actually, he treated Yun Le differently. At least she and Yun Huan had never spoken to him in the Gu family.

"Forget it, we can talk about this later. I promise you I'll help her out when she's in trouble, but I won't treat her like family. You know about my past grievances with her, and about my relationship with her mother."

Ah Zhong nodded hurriedly. It was already quite good that the young lady had done so much. She was the one who took care of things when the master had his accident. As for that Yun Huan, he didn't know what she was busy with every day and never came to the hospital. At least Yun Le was back to normal now.

Has Xie Yao been here?

"That woman? She came once, and then she disappeared. She was... not a docile woman."

"She...she's been with Gu Cheng for a few years, after all."

Yun Shu was surprised by Gu Cheng's reaction. Xie Yao's immediate change in attitude was understandable; she hadn't even married Gu Cheng yet, and this had happened to him. It was no surprise that she was anxious, especially since she was pregnant with Gu Cheng's child.

She planned to meet that woman after get off work that afternoon; constantly avoiding her wasn't a solution.

Yun Shu came out of the ward and saw Ming Yuan. She also told him about going out to dinner on Saturday.

Mingyuan was a little surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he realized that Yunshu and Mingkun had never had a wedding banquet. He nodded in agreement, thinking that his wife at home was complaining about being bored every day because of her pregnancy, so he would take her out for some fresh air.
