Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Gu Qianci Suddenly Makes a Phone Call
Chi Enen had just left the company.
Her mobile phone rang.
She thought it was Baby Chi calling to ask her to buy something on her way home, but when she picked up the phone, she saw an unexpected number—Gu Qianci.
Why would Gu Qianci call her?
Chi Enen was silent for a moment. Originally she didn’t want to answer, but after thinking about it, she still picked up just before the phone would have hung up, “Hello.”
“Enen.” Gu Qianci actually didn’t call her Miss Chi.
“…” Chi Enen choked on her words with this long-absent form of address and furrowed her eyebrows, even more uncertain of why Gu Qianci was contacting her.
Who knew that Gu Qianci would take the initiative to state her purpose, “1 have something to discuss with you; can you come to the hospital?”
Chi Enen didn’t know why her attitude had suddenly changed, and she refused flatly, “1 have other things to do; I may not be able to come.”
Eearful that she would hang up, Gu Qianci quickly said, “1 want to tell you something very important, related to five years ago.”
Five years ago!
Wasn’t five years ago the beginning of her entanglement with Li Beijue?
Chi Enen clenched her phone, and asked in a deep voice, “Which hospital are you at?”
Gu Qianci gave her an address, and Chi Enen noted it down before saying, “Wait for me, I’ll be right there.”
She hung up the phone, and sent a text message to Baby Chi that she might return home late, then hailed a taxi by the roadside and rushed to the hospital Gu Qianci had mentioned…
*
Kaide Hospital, Room 003.
Gu Xixi was already asleep, with an IV drip in her. Gu Qianci tucked her in gently, and gestured to Chi Enen with a side-glance. She picked up the bag next to her, stepped lightly, and went out first.
In the corridor outside the ward, Gu Qianci suggested, “1 know there is a place nearby to drink water, let’s speak there.”
Chi Enen didn’t want to waste so much time with her, “There’s no need to go to all that trouble, just say it here.”
Gu Qianci could tell she didn’t want to waste time, and the corner of her mouth twisted bitterly, “There are so many people here, we can’t just stand and talk. Come with me, there’s a Small Garden behind the hospital, not many people there, and there’s a gazebo. We can sit on the bench inside the gazebo.”
She was afraid Chi Enen would refuse, and said half pleadingly, half suggesting, “…at least we can sit and talk.”
“Fine.”
As expected, there was a gazebo in the Small Garden of the hospital. Chi Enen sat down opposite Gu Qianci and got straight to the point, “You said you wanted to tell me an important matter related to five years ago, what is it?”
Gu Qianci was still the same coquettish woman she always was, but compared to the previous two times Chi Enen had seen her, that coquettishness was less deliberately affected, as if she had washed away her facade. She didn’t answer Chi Enen’s question right away, instead, she said, “Thank you for that day. If you hadn’t stood up for us, I really wouldn’t know what to do. Really, thank you, Enen.”
That day, if Chi Enen hadn’t shown up, she was truly afraid Wang Jian would have done something to Xixi.
If something happened to Xixi, she wouldn’t want to live either.
Thus, her gratitude towards Chi Enen was sincere.
Chi Enen knew what she was referring to, her bright eyes remained cold, “I didn’t help you; I helped Xixi. If Xixi hadn’t been there that day, I wouldn’t have interfered with your business.”
Gu Qianci didn’t expect Chi Enen to be so direct and was momentarily stunned before giving a bitter smile, lowering her gaze, “1 know, 1 truly don’t deserve your help..”
