Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 709 - 706: The Woman Who Called Gu Chen

She turned around, and her gaze just happened to meet Lu Jinyang’s, causing her heart to skip a beat. Could he have already noticed something was amiss with her...

As she was thinking of a countermeasure, she heard the man’s voice: "You go to sleep, I’m going out to make a phone call."

Xiao Qing hadn’t even let out a breath of relief when she saw the man turn back and ask, "Could you make a call for me?"

Me, make a phone call?

Who would she call in the middle of the night?

Seeing the puzzlement on her face, Lu Jinyang quickly said: "Call Gu Chen’s woman, I don’t have her number."

"Isn’t Gu Chen’s woman Gu Li?" Xiao Qing’s heart skipped a beat. Was it really that Gu Chen was going to have surgery? So they had decided to tell Gu Li about it.

Without hesitating for long, Xiao Qing immediately took the phone, dialed Gu Li’s number, and handed it to him.

But he refused to take the phone, "Turn on the speaker."

"...Okay."

"Sister Qing?" Gu Li’s voice came from the other end of the phone, devoid of any sleepiness, obviously, she hadn’t slept after they hung up the phone earlier.

"It’s me, someone wants to talk to you." After saying that, she looked at Lu Jinyang.

In his dark eyes, there flickered an unusual emotion, and after a long wait, his deep voice came through: "Gu Chen is having surgery tomorrow, a gastrectomy, and is now at Li Yan’s hospital."

After speaking, the man quickly hung up the phone.

He looked up, into the astonished face of Xiao Qing, and indifferently handed her the phone: "Go to sleep, have your parents come over to take care of the child tomorrow. I need your help."

Xiao Qing, who was pulled onto the bed, still hadn’t come back to her senses. He actually didn’t avoid her while making the phone call?!

But thinking it over, Xiao Qing found her own thoughts laughable. She had no relation to Gu Chen; whether she knew about it or not, it made no difference.

However, whether Gu Li would go to the hospital after receiving the call was the critical issue.

With this thought in mind, she asked, "Lu Jinyang, is Gu Chen’s condition very serious?"

"Yeah, there’s a malignant tumor in his stomach."

"Then... what if Gu Li doesn’t go, what will he do?"

"Why worry so much? You’ll know the result tomorrow."

...

At this moment, Gu Li was still staring blankly at the now-dark phone screen, unable to snap back to reality.

The person who called her just now was definitely Sister Qing, so that must have been her husband, President Lu. What did he say?

Gu Chen was hospitalized?

How could that be, wasn’t Gu Chen on a business trip? Why would he be hospitalized?

In her heart, he was like a deity, invincible as long as the sky didn’t fall.

But now, he was sick. Also, what did President Lu say? He needs a gastrectomy?

At this thought, Gu Li felt a stab of pain in her stomach.

Although she thought this way, she couldn’t help but walk out of the room, chuck on a coat, grab her keys, and head outside.

Stepping outside, the chill wind sobered her up considerably.

Looking at the keys in her hand, she even had the urge to turn back and go home.

Gu Chen was hospitalized but told her he was on a business trip instead, indicating that he didn’t want her to know about his illness. What if she impulsively went there and he got unhappy?

All these years, even though he was strict with her, he had never said a harsh word to her.

With that in mind, Gu Li resolutely walked forward and hailed a taxi from the roadside.

She had made up her mind; she was going to see him.

If he scolded her, if he despised her, she would bring up their relationship. She wanted to see what he would have to say.
