The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 346: He Plots Evil Intentions (2)

Quan Yin, a person who believes in Buddhism.

Gu Yuan, experienced in worldly matters, naturally understood the reason behind someone from the Quan Family believing in Buddhism.

Those who carry Buddha Beads are always formidable characters.

Either to restrain their own pathological psyche.

Or... to suppress the murderous aura they carry, generally implying that their hands have...

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, gesturing with a raised hand, "Mr. Quan, please sit. It’s just me here, excuse my lack of hospitality."

"Miss Gu is as polite as ever."

She hadn’t officially entered the gates of the Quan Family, calling Old Madam Quan ’Grandma’ was sufficient, as for the other members of the Quan Family, Gu Yuan had no intention of changing her address.

Moreover, facing such a man, though thirty-five, whose appearance seemed no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight, calling him Fifth Uncle would sound old.

She knew that in Yanjing, others referred to him as Fifth Master Quan, but she called him Mr. Quan out of respect.

Quan Yin’s lips curled upward, lowering his eyelids, he inquired gently, "Miss Gu, how is your health? Are you feeling better now?"

"Much better, thank you for your concern, Mr. Quan."

Gu Yuan maintained an appropriately distant attitude, neither too indifferent nor ungrateful.

Yu Rujin glanced at the person behind them, asking, "Little five, how did you know Yuanyuan was in the hospital?"

Quan Yin rubbed his forehead, "Didn’t Grandma just ask this earlier?"

Yu Rujin sighed, "You didn’t say anything, did you."

Quan Yin chuckled, "As one gets older, memory isn’t as sharp."

"I’m right here, and you dare say you’re getting older, are you out of your mind?" Yu Rujin put on a stern face.

Quan Yin raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, smiling wryly, "Yes, yes, I won’t dare next time."

Quan Yin knew about Gu Yuan being admitted to the hospital even before Yu Rujin.

Originally, Yu Rujin thought waiting at the Gu Mansion, Gu Yuan would return.

Little did she know it had become so severe that she went straight to the hospital after finishing work.

After ending a meeting with friends, Quan Yin called Yu Rujin, probably knowing that people at the Gu Mansion wouldn’t say much, Quan Yin made a special effort to pass on the message.

Gu Yuan remained expressionless, simply listening quietly.

Quan Yin answered systematically, "Today Miss Gu, despite her illness, attended an important meeting all afternoon. This didn’t spread widely, just a friend of mine was also at the table and mentioned it, his words full of admiration for Gu Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan probably guessed which person at the meeting table Quan Yin’s friend referred to.

"Is that so? Luckily, you told me," Yu Rujin sighed again, her heart aching.

Gu Yuan was originally reading to pass the time and intended to return to the Gu Mansion after her IV.

Now with Yu Rujin accompanying her, time passed even quicker.

During the conversation, Yu Rujin didn’t mention Quan Jin.

Primarily because she was embarrassed to.

She initially intended to wait for Gu Yuan to bring it up before explaining and making a slight effort to salvage Quan Jin’s image, but Gu Yuan didn’t mention Quan Jin at all.

Not a single word.

Yu Rujin felt chilled to her core, sensing that her fate with Gu Yuan might end with her unfilial grandson.

With other girls, perhaps they could keep in touch.

But this was Gu Yuan; she had her pride and dignity. If it really ends cleanly, they would lose such a good granddaughter-in-law.

When the IV was finished, it was around ten-thirty at night, Yu Rujin had stubbornly waited until the IV was done.

Quan Yin sat on the sofa, not talking much, occasionally checking his phone. When Yu Rujin asked something, he replied briefly and did not initiate conversation with Gu Yuan.

Afterward, Quan Yin personally drove Gu Yuan and Old Madam Quan back to the Gu Mansion.

Upon reaching the Gu Mansion, Gu Yuan courteously invited Quan Yin to stay over, expecting he would refuse due to pressing matters, but instead, he gladly accepted, "Thank you, Miss Gu, for your generous hospitality."

Gu Yuan: "..."

She suddenly said, "You’re Quan Jin’s Fifth Uncle, this is only appropriate."

Quan Yin, with a pleasant smile, replied, "Being a senior is indeed my pleasure."

And so, Quan Yin stayed, and Gu Yuan personally arranged the best living quarters for him.

The old madam, being elderly, after returning, pulled Gu Yuan aside for a few words, then went off to sleep.

As the night deepened and the dew grew heavier, the night sky enveloped the horizon.

Quan Yin stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, the Gu Mansion’s location was tranquil despite its bustling surroundings, offering a stunning night view.

Initially, he hadn’t planned to lodge at the Gu Mansion, but he stayed because of a growing curiosity about that mysterious aura that Gu Yuan carried.

In the business world, whenever a woman gains prominence, others tend to belittle; most are unwilling to acknowledge a woman’s excellence from the heart.
