Chapter 20: Fighting Gu Yannian
When Lan Yaoxia arrived at the door downstairs, she just saw Li Jinxi driving there.
Li Jinxi drove the car to the door and stopped. Because parking service was provided downstairs, Li Jinxi greeted Lan Yaoxia after getting out of the car and handed the car keys to the staff.
Then, Li Jinxi naturally took Lan Yaoxia's hand. Lan Yaoxia did not resist or object at all, but obediently let her lead her.
Just as they were about to step through the gate, a taxi slowly drove up from behind.
The car also stopped in front of the gate, and Gu Yannian got out of the car in a hurry.
As it was raining outside, his hair and clothes were soaked by the rain, but he didn't seem to care about these details. He stared at the backs of Li Jinxi and Lan Yaoxia leaving, and quickly shouted: "Jinxi"
Hearing this shout, Li Jinxi was obviously stunned for a moment, and Lan Yaoxia also had a look of astonishment on her face.
The two turned around at the same time. When they saw Gu Yannian, who was soaking wet and looked as miserable as a drowned chicken, Li Jinxi asked in surprise: "Yannian? Why are you here? Aren't you still in the hospital?"
However, at the moment when Lan Yaoxia and Gu Yannian's eyes met, a raging fire seemed to be ignited deep in their hearts, bursting out uncontrollably.
The hand that was originally tightly holding Li Jinxi inadvertently increased its strength, even causing Li Jinxi to feel a little pain.
Li Jinxi keenly noticed Lan Yaoxia's abnormality, turned to look at him, and his heart became nervous involuntarily.
Then, she turned her gaze to Gu Yannian and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Why are you coming here instead of staying in the hospital to get treatment?"
Lan Yaoxia's eyes were fixed on the bandaged wounds on Gu Yannian's body that were not covered by his clothes, and she couldn't help but feel an indescribable pleasure in her heart.
Gu Yannian stared at Lan Yaoxia silently, then slowly said to Li Jinxi: "I wanted to have lunch with you at noon, so I went to the company to find you." His voice was low and magnetic, but with a hint of sincerity.
"But when I arrived at the company gate, I saw your car driving out of the gate. So I asked the driver to follow you here."
Li Jinxi listened to Gu Yannian's story and looked at the man in front of her who was wet from the rain and had scars on his body. She couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart.
She wondered if she should invite him in for lunch, but when she thought of her husband, the guilt in her heart surged up like a tide, and she suppressed her sympathy.
Then she said resolutely: "I'm sorry, I really don't have time today. I have to have dinner with my husband." There was a hint of firmness and determination in her voice.
Gu Yannian's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He couldn't understand why Li Jinxi answered like that. When he came, he deliberately walked in the rain, carefully creating a pitiful, miserable and sad image.
According to past experience, if it were any other time, when Li Jinxi saw herself like this, she would definitely leave Lan Yaoxia behind without hesitation and run to comfort him.
However, the reality was completely unexpected. At this moment, Li Jinxi rejected him mercilessly, which made Gu Yannian confused and angry.
After thinking it over, he attributed all his dissatisfaction and resentment to Lan Yaoxia, thinking that it was because of Lan Yaoxia that Li Jinxi changed her attitude towards him. As a result, his hatred for Lan Yaoxia became deeper and deeper.
However, his expression did not change at all, and he still said sincerely: "Since we are already here, why don't the three of us enjoy this meal together." Then, he added thoughtfully: "Coincidentally, I also have some business questions that I would like to ask Jinxi for advice."
Li Jinxi was about to decline, but Lan Yaoxia quickly interrupted and said, "I'm so sorry, I just want to have lunch alone with my wife."
Lan Yaoxia's eyes were firm and decisive, as if there was no room for negotiation. Then, Lan Yaoxia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and continued with a hint of sarcasm: "Besides, seeing that you are still injured, I think the lunch box provided by the hospital may be more suitable for your current condition."
After hearing what Lan Yaoxia said, although Gu Yannian was very unhappy, he did not dare to lose his temper easily because Li Jinxi was present.
So, he suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and said to Lan Yaoxia: "It's just a meal together, Lan Yaoxia, why are you so stingy?" There was an obvious complaint in his tone, as if he wanted Li Jinxi to hear his words.
Li Jinxi couldn't help but feel a little angry when she heard these words.
She had come here with great joy, wanting to improve her relationship with her husband, but she never expected that Gu Yannian would suddenly appear and disrupt the situation.
Lan Yaoxia sneered and said mercilessly, "I have always been so stingy. Don't you understand?"
Gu Yannian was speechless after hearing this. He could only look at Li Jinxi with pleading eyes, hoping to get her help. However, Li Jinxi did not do as he wished, but said calmly: "You should go back to the hospital as soon as possible. You are injured and it is not good for your health to be caught in the rain."
Upon hearing this, Lan Yaoxia sneered again: "Stop pretending here! Go back and eat your lunch!"
After hearing this, Gu Yannian was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His face was full of anger, and he glared at Lan Yaoxia with wide eyes, "You..."
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Li Jinxi, who was worried that Lan Yaoxia and Gu Yannian would clash, quickly interrupted Gu Yannian and urged him anxiously, "Go back to the hospital first!"
As he said that, he pulled Lan Yaoxia into the gate. Lan Yaoxia did not forget to turn around and give Gu Yannian a provocative look.
Gu Yannian was so angry that he clenched his teeth, and kept imagining in his mind that it was himself who was holding Li Jinxi's hand, and it was also himself who gave that provocative look.
In the end, he could only snort coldly, his face full of anger and unwillingness, but he was helpless. At this moment, the driver suddenly rolled down the window and said to Gu Yannian expressionlessly: "You haven't paid yet."
Gu Yannian was obviously stunned, as if he had not expected the driver to say that. He felt a little surprised, but soon the anger in his heart was ignited.
Gu Yannian widened his eyes and shouted angrily at the driver, "Do you think I'd owe you this little fare?" His voice was so loud that it seemed to burst his eardrums.
However, when Gu Yannian subconsciously reached for his pocket, his face suddenly turned ugly. He realized that when he went out, his mind was full of the beautiful scene of having lunch with Li Jinxi, so he completely forgot to bring his cell phone.
At this moment, the cell phone was lying quietly on the hospital bed, but he was penniless.
The driver noticed that Gu Yannian had stopped searching his pockets and immediately understood what was going on. So he urged him bluntly, "Hurry up, I haven't eaten yet, and I'm waiting to collect your money to fill my stomach!" His tone was full of impatience and resentment.
