in shot through her body as if she were being pierced, she cried out, but to Gu Wangting it only fueled his desire.She suddenly flung open her tightly shut eyes, "Gu Wang, I hate you." Tears streamed...Gu Chi felt the person in his arms getting warmer, chuckled softly, and finally stopped tossing her around. He simply tucked the blanket around her and whispered, "Sleep."

Su KeXin leaned against Gu Chi's chest, she could hear his strong heartbeat, suddenly really felt her mood calmed down, drowsiness came over.

It's truly amazing.

She could be so nervous by his side that her heart pounded out of her chest, or so calm that she slept soundly.

She slept very well that night.

To Su Kexin's surprise, in the following days, Gu Chi really stayed by her bedside all the time. Occasionally, people would come to find Gu Chi to discuss company matters, but even for major business deals, Gu Chi didn't show any intention of leaving.

And every night, he also slept on the same bed as himself.

As for this, Su Keqin was not affected at all. However, she was always worried that Gu Chi's company would be affected, so on the fifth day, she softened and hardened her attitude, persuading Gu Chi to get her discharged from the hospital.

When going through the procedures, Su Kexin secretly asked the nurse and learned that Gu Yichan's recovery was good, and he had been discharged from the hospital a few days earlier. He stayed at the Gu family and was taken care of by the private doctor.

Hearing that Gu Yichen wasn't seriously hurt, Su Kexin let out a sigh of relief.

It's not that she cared much about Gu Yichan, after all, this time it was her who dragged him down. If something happened to him, she would feel terrible inside.

Upon returning home from the hospital, Su Keixin saw that Wang Ma and Zhang Shu were gone. In their place was a new maid, about the same age as Wang Ma, who also cooked very well. She was just much quieter than Wang Ma.

As for Wang Ma and Zhang Shu's disappearance, Su Kexin didn't ask any further questions.

She wasn't stupid. The day of the fire, she felt it—the flames seemed to start from within. Although Gu Chi's house didn't seem to have many servants, she knew that there were bodyguards outside, and the villa complex itself had plenty of security, not to mention the sophisticated anti-theft system built into the mansion.

So, the biggest possibility is that someone inside started the fire.

Thinking back to her abnormal drowsiness and all-over weakness the previous night, she understood in her heart that this matter was probably related to Wang Ma and Zhang Shu.

And now they were gone, confirming her suspicions even more.

As for Wang Ma and Zhang Shu's motives, Su Kexin knew they must have been acting on someone else's orders.

She originally thought they were both serving Mr. Gu, but Mr. Gu shouldn't harm himself like this, so could it be Gu Xiao

Su Ke Xin thought about it and felt a headache coming on. The twists and turns of this wealthy family were really too complicated. It seemed that she had been too careless before. Now that she was Gu Chi's wife, she was also a member of the Gu family. She must be more careful in the future.

……

On the other hand, Gu's family old villa.

In the study, Gu Xiao sat in his seat with a grim face, apparently just returning from the airport. He still had some fatigue on him and looked weary after a long journey.

And opposite him stood Gu Yichan, his body still covered in many bandages, his face slightly pale, but the expression on his face was no better either.

"Dad," Gu Yichan spoke first, his voice laced with iciness, "The fire at Gu Chi's house... was it your doing"

Although Gu Yichan is impulsive by nature, he isn't a fool. He grew up in the Gu family and has seen countless power struggles since childhood. During his days in the hospital, how could he possibly not figure things out

"It was me, so what" Gu Xiao clearly didn't intend to hide anything from his own son.

Gu Yichen's face contorted slightly, "Dad! Your target is Su Kexin But she's just an innocent woman, why do you want to hurt her!"

When Gu Yichan didn't mention Su Keixin, it was fine. But as soon as he mentioned her name, Gu Xiao's face immediately turned even uglier. He slammed his big hand on the table, jumped up from his chair with a furious expression.

"Gu Yichen, is this how you speak to your father" he roared, "Just for one woman, are you going to rebel"

When Gu Xiao was in America, he learned that his plan to burn Su KeXin had failed, and the reason for the failure was his own precious son, who desperately rushed to save her. He was so angry that he smashed several vases!After a long silence, she finally heard Gu Wang's voice. He spoke calmly, "The Fifth Branch has been acquired by Teng Shang." 。"Over the past few days, she's been hearing these terms too much: "Tencen...
