Chapter 32  : Apologize To Her

“Grandpa was in a coma because of heart disease. He is old, so his heart is in bad condition. The sudden shock was probably due to insufficient blood supply.”

Yan Xi explained. Her voice was very soft, but it was not to be ignored.

Gu Ling snorted, “I doubt it. Who knows if it’s because you said something to agitate Father?”

“We didn’t say much, nor was it agitating. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Grandpa when he wakes up.”

Yan Xi tried her best to remain calm, but her hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Her hand was suddenly held by a cold hand. Yan Xi shivered and looked down.

It was Gu Shen.

He was also looking at Yan Xi. Underneath that pair of angry eyes, Yan Xi could see self-blame and guilt

“I’m fine.” She smiled.

He tightened his grip on her hand.

Gu Shen closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Gu Yi, bring the chair over.”

“Yes.”

Gu An also took the ice pack and placed it on Yan Xi’s face. The painful and numb sensation was then gone.

“Auntie.” Gu An sounded displeased. “You hit her before knowing what is actually happening. That’s too much.”

Gu Ling did not reflect on herself and instead felt wronged, “She is making that up. Now that Father is still unconscious, she can say whatever she wants!”

As if to refute Gu Ling, the butler stepped forward.

“Old Master is safe now. It happened so suddenly, but fortunately, Fourth Madam was here to give first aid. If he received it a few minutes later, he might…” He did not finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

The butler walked to Yan Xi’s side and bowed. “Thank you.”

“You don’t have to do this.” Yan Xi was a little clumsy. She wanted to stand up.

Gu Shen held her down and asked, “How is Grandpa now?”

“Old Master is currently not in danger. The other doctors are still diagnosing him.”

“Okay.”

His words forebode something bad was gonna happen, making people inexplicably afraid.

“Gu Yi, close the door.”

As the door was slammed, the world was divided into two.

Gu Ling gulped and looked at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen said very slowly, “It is clear now that Grandfather had a sudden shock and it has nothing to do with Xixi. He’s safe now because Xi saved him.”

He paused, his eyes cold and murderous. “So, those who treated Xi unfairly just now, apologize to her.”

Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment. He had always been proud and arrogant, never lowering his head to anyone, let alone admitting his mistake.

However, he indeed treated Yan Xi, who saved his grandfather, unfairly this time, so it was only right for him to apologize.

After thinking it through, he said frankly, “I’m sorry, Yan Xi. I was too anxious just now and offended you.”

He didn’t think it was a big deal to apologize, but the people standing around were stunned.

Having lived in the Gu family for so many years, they never saw Gu Cheng apologize to anyone. This was the grandson that Old Master Gu valued the most, who was most likely to take over the Gu family in the future.

When did Gu Shen become so influential?

“It’s alright.” Yan Xi said, “I understand it.”

Seeing Gu Cheng’s apology, Gu Ling pursed her lips in disdain. She would not bring herself to apologize to someone who was lower in status.

She turned around and was about to leave when a cold male voice sounded behind her. His words were full of threat.

“If you step out of this door today, you can forget about entering the Gu family’s door in the future!”
