chapter 11

Outside the emergency room, the flashing red light cast a pallid glow on Jiang Tingrou’s face.

Gu Xiao hurried over from the other end of the corridor with a group of people, his expression cold as ice.

Ten minutes earlier, Wu Man had called Manager Gu’s assistant, Lucy.

Lucy anxiously reported to Gu Xiao:

“Manager Gu, just now Miss Jiang rushed into Old Lady Gu’s house, and in a fit of agitation slapped Old Lady Gu. She fainted and is being resuscitated…”

Gu Xiao arrived at the operating room door with a frosty expression. Jiang Tingrou immediately stood up in a panic.

“Ah Xiao, I didn’t do anything, she just…”

Gu Xiao cut her off: “Shut up.”

An unprecedented sense of grievance overwhelmed Jiang Tingrou, and she burst into tears: “Why should I shut up? I really didn’t do anything! Why are you siding with your mom and not me? When we were dating, you clearly said you’d always protect me…”

Her sobs echoed through the corridor. Gu Xiao rubbed his brow irritably.

His assistant Lucy stepped forward at just the right moment: “Manager Gu, previously Old Lady Gu installed surveillance in the living room to take care of her two cats, and it happened to catch everything.”

On the iPad in her hand, the surveillance footage was playing.

On the screen, Jiang Tingrou raised her hand high and struck out.

Old Lady Gu collapsed and fainted.

And in the following dozens of seconds, Jiang Tingrou continued to curse and shout at the unconscious Mother Gu lying on the floor.

Gu Xiao couldn’t bear to watch and turned his head away.

Jiang Tingrou was stunned: “No! That’s not how it happened at all! Ah Xiao, listen to me…”

It’s said that when a man loves a woman, he listens to her.

When a man doesn’t love a woman, he tells her to shut up.

And at this very moment, Gu Xiao didn’t even have the patience to tell Jiang Tingrou to shut up.

He said quietly, “Let’s postpone the engagement.”
