War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon,Please Surrender!-Chapter 256: Gu Yan Searches for Tang Yuxiu
Gu Yan couldn’t describe how captivating the man in front of her was. If there had to be a word for it, it would be enchanting!
A bewitching appearance that could bring down a kingdom.
A man so handsome that Gu Yan thought of how many women would feel inferior enough to consider suicide!
"Miss, are you okay?"
The man spoke up, pulling Gu Yan’s thoughts back to reality.
She hastily withdrew her arm from his hand, feeling very awkward, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, and thank you for catching me."
"No problem, it was nothing, no need to thank me."
"I’m sorry, I’m in a hurry, really sorry."
"It’s okay."
Gu Yan apologized once more to him before leaving in a hurry.
Meanwhile, the man watched her receding figure, a hint of perplexity and contemplation in his enchanting eyes.
On the other side, Gu Yan ran straight to Xiang Linghao’s office to find him, but upon arrival, she realized Xiang Linghao wasn’t there.
Gu Yan panicked, scratching her head, and randomly grabbed a nurse in the hallway to ask, "Miss Nurse, do you know which ward the Tang Family Chairman is in?"
The nurse looked at her suspiciously, sizing her up, seemingly evaluating whether she was worthy enough to know where Chairman Tang was.
Ever since she left Tang Yuxiu, Gu Yan hadn’t taken any of the branded clothes, jewelry, or bags he bought her, and had been wearing her own street-market attire ever since.
Seeing her dressed so plainly, with nothing standout, the nurse assumed she was just someone who had heard the news and came to the hospital to inquire.
Besides, it wasn’t like there hadn’t been people like this these past days, asking where Chairman Tang was, but they were all trying to get close to the two outstanding men of the Tang Family.
Those two were well-known eligible bachelors and wealthy single men in Jiang City!
Even though they exuded a natural air of coldness that kept strangers at bay, there were still countless noble ladies and ordinary girls flocking to them.
Even several female nurses in the hospital secretly liked them.
After sizing up Gu Yan, the nurse spoke indifferently, "Miss, a patient’s ward is their privacy, it’s not something we can tell just anyone."
Implying that they wouldn’t divulge anything to unrelated passersby.
Understanding the sarcasm in the nurse’s words, Gu Yan didn’t have the patience to argue, she just urgently asked, "I have something to discuss with Young Master Tang, I know him, please just tell me."
When Gu Yan mentioned she was looking for Young Master Tang, the nurse was even more convinced she was one of those women trying to get close to the Tang brothers, and her expression turned even colder.
"Miss, let me give you a word of advice, if you can’t achieve something, don’t try to take shortcuts. Now that Old Sir Tang is still lying unconscious in his hospital bed, it’s despicable for women like you to use his critical condition as an opportunity to approach the young masters, aren’t you afraid of karma?"
When Gu Yan heard the nurse’s words, she realized she was being mistaken for someone with ulterior motives.
Gu Yan anxiously tried to explain, "Miss Nurse, you’ve got it wrong, I’m not that kind of person, I really do know Young Master Tang, I urgently need to find him."
The nurse scoffed disdainfully, "Who doesn’t say so when they come here to find the young masters? Miss, you’d better not disturb the peace of Old Sir Tang, the young masters won’t see you."
Gu Yan was about to break down, "Alright, since you’re not telling me which ward Chairman Tang is in, then where is Doctor Xiang? Where did Xiang Linghao go?!"
Hearing her directly use Doctor Xiang’s name, the nurse was surprised, as these past few days, those who came with agendas also mentioned wanting to see Old Sir Tang’s attending doctor, which is Doctor Xiang, but they all just said "attending doctor" and didn’t know it was Doctor Xiang, let alone knowing the name Xiang Linghao.
The nurse became curious again, could the woman in front of her really know Young Master Tang?
After all, they all knew their Doctor Xiang, who is also their hospital’s director, was friends with Young Master Tang.
And when the nurse took a closer look at Gu Yan, she suddenly found her a bit familiar.
"Miss, do you know our Doctor Xiang?"
"Somewhat familiar."
"Then why are you looking for our Doctor Xiang?"
Gu Yan said, "Xiang Linghao is so close to the Tang brothers, even if he can’t treat Chairman Tang, he’d arrange the best doctors for them, not to mention he’s the hospital director, no one knows better than him which ward Chairman Tang is in."
Gu Yan spoke clearly and everything she said was correct, making the nurse have to further believe her identity.
But her attire was just too plain, unmistakably street-market stuff, not hidden branded clothes.
So the nurse still maintained a skeptical attitude.
"Since Miss knows Young Master Tang, why not call him? Or call Doctor Xiang?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
With this reminder, Gu Yan remembered she had a phone with her!
She slapped her head in frustration; how could she be so stupid, forgetting something so useful.
When anxious, everything gets messed up, indeed it does.
Gu Yan immediately searched for her phone in her bag, but no matter how she pressed it, there wasn’t any response.
Gu Yan, "..." When did the phone run out of battery?
No wonder she hadn’t heard it ring these past two days rushing back, always feeling something was missing in her drowsiness; it turned out she hadn’t received a call from Tang Yuxiu.
Fortunately, she was busy hurrying back, physically and mentally exhausted, not having the mind to overthink, otherwise, she would’ve misunderstood that Tang Yuxiu forgot her as soon as he returned, not even making a call.
"Damn it!" Gu Yan cursed, at critical moments, nothing works!
She looked up at the nurse and pleaded once more, "Nurse, please, can you tell me the room number of Chairman Tang?"
The nurse began to hesitate but didn’t outright refuse or say anything else, giving Gu Yan a glimmer of hope.
She looked at the nurse expectantly, but before the nurse could nod or continue to refuse, someone approached them.
"I know which room they are in, I’ll take you there."
Gu Yan quickly looked up, her gaze passing the nurse and landing behind her, surprised once again.
It was the enchanting man she had bumped into downstairs.
"Sir?"
The man gave Gu Yan a friendly smile, "I happen to be going there too. Since the nurse won’t tell, and I’ve run into you, I’ll just take you along."
Gu Yan was surprised and delighted, "Really? You really know where they are?"
"Yes."
He nodded, "Let’s go. They are on the VIP ward floor upstairs."
Gu Yan was overjoyed, "Thank you."
"You’re welcome. Let’s go up first."
"Okay!" Gu Yan nodded. She followed him almost without hesitation.
The nurse, upon seeing the man’s incredibly attractive face, was so enraptured that she didn’t know how to react.
How could there be such a handsome man in this world, even rivaling women?
Gu Yan followed the stranger into the elevator. Both remained silent as they watched the numbers climb.
The man’s eyes subtly observed Gu Yan from the reflection in the elevator, his gaze somewhat unreadable.
The VIP ward floor was large, but few people lived there. After exiting the elevator, Gu Yan followed the man, encountering almost no one along the way.
They turned a corner and reached the innermost part of the floor.
Gu Yan couldn’t help but look around, her eyes suddenly fixing on the figure standing at the end of the corridor in front of a window.
"Tang Yuxiu..." she murmured.
Even from a distance, Gu Yan could recognize him at a glance.
Turns out, she’s so familiar with everything about him.
So familiar that one look is enough to confirm it!
As she saw Tang Yuxiu’s back, Gu Yan’s eyes could see nothing but him, forgetting momentarily the man who brought her up here.
She murmured his name and stepped steadily toward the figure at the corridor’s end.
The man who brought her here raised an eyebrow slightly when he vaguely heard her call out "Tang Yuxiu."
He had long heard of a woman daring enough to challenge Young Master Tang’s authority and boundaries without being "beaten to death" and had always wanted to see this person.
Now that he’s seen her, he finds her quite ordinary. To those who don’t know her, it’s hard to see what stands out about Gu Yan.
But seeing her reaction to Tang Yuxiu, the heartfelt emotion slightly moved him.
He had also heard that Young Master Tang had problems with the woman he liked, and after the obstacles were finally cleared and he went to get her himself, he didn’t have enough time to spend properly with her before family matters rushed him back.
Suddenly, he thought Young Master Tang was quite pitiful!
The man watched as Gu Yan walked determinedly towards the lonely figure of Tang Yuxiu and slightly curled his lips.
He also stepped forward but stopped in front of the only room on the floor, knocked on the door, and soon someone opened it.
When Tang Mubei opened the door and saw the man standing there, he was slightly stunned, "Lu Fusheng?!"
Damn! Lu Fusheng is finally willing to return!
Lu Fusheng teasingly raised an eyebrow at Tang Mubei, his face always holding a faint smile.
"Seeing you so surprised satisfies me," Lu Fusheng joked.
Tang Mubei wanted to roll his eyes a hundred times at him, but someone as serious and cool as he didn’t do that, so he only thought about it.
"I suggest you talk less."
Whenever Lu Fusheng opened his mouth, it was usually annoying, just with varying degrees.
Lu Fusheng said, "...Second Young Master Tang, after all, you should treat guests well. I’m here to see Uncle Tang, your father, so why leave me standing at the door."
Tang Mubei gave him a cold look and stepped aside, "Come in."
Lu Fusheng smiled devilishly, "By the way, I came up with a girl just now."
Tang Mubei was about to say, "What does that have to do with me?" but then heard Lu Fusheng add, "That girl’s name seemed to be Gu Yan."
Tang Mubei looked up in surprise, "Gu Yan?"
"Uh-huh."
