The evil stepmother is also doing her best for the motherland today.

Chapter 48
Xu Jingyi felt a little depressed because of what happened this morning. She looked at the chat history between herself and Gu Minzheng. Gu Minzheng did not send any messages to her.

This feeling made Xu Jingyi feel bad.

After resting for a while, Xu Jingyi was afraid that she would have random thoughts in the hotel, so she forced herself to cheer up and contacted the guide to take her out for a walk.

The guide seemed to notice that Xu Jingyi was not in a good mood, so he volunteered to take Xu Jingyi to a nearby temple.

"This is the most effective temple here. It is said that as long as you make a wish sincerely, it will usually come true. Miss Xu, would you like to make a wish?"

The guide looked at Xu Jingyi and introduced.

Xu Jingyi looked at the sculpture in front of her and shook her head: "I don't have anything to wish for. I want to go out for a walk."

"Then, Miss Xu, please pay attention to your safety and call me when you want to leave later."

Xu Jingyi nodded and walked out of the lobby. She wrapped her coat tightly and walked to the center of the courtyard. Maybe it was too quiet around her, which made people's hearts gradually calm down.

She walked and walked until she stopped under the wishing tree, watching the tree full of wishing ribbons swaying in the wind.

Xu Jingyi walked to the side and bought a ribbon, wrote a line of words seriously and piously, and tied it to the branch.

When they went down the mountain, the clouds in the sky thickly piled up and the sky became gloomy. For the guide, who was a local, he could tell at a glance that this was a sign that it was going to snow.

"Ms. Xu, looking at the weather, it's going to snow soon. Should we find an indoor place to hang out now, or take you back to the hotel."

Xu Jingyi looked at the gloomy sky and chose the latter.

Not long after returning to the hotel, the snow fell. Unlike the snow in the south that melts like salt particles when it falls on the ground, the snow here is really as described in the book, like goose feathers, scattered in the air. Floating down in the air.

It snowed heavily at the beginning, and soon there was snow, and the whole world became covered in silver. Xu Jingyi's excitement when she saw the snow temporarily replaced her discomfort.

She took a few photos on the rooftop outside the hotel, and her childlike innocence also made a snowman and posted it on WeChat Moments.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Xu's circle of friends."

Xu Jingyi's actions in City A are always reported to Gu Minzheng, so he knows everything about her.

Gu Minzheng took off the arm that was pressing on his forehead and opened his eyes. His eyes were red and bloodshot, and his fatigue was visible to the naked eye. He took the phone and looked at the photos in the circle of friends to enlarge, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Suddenly the door of the emergency room was opened and the doctor came out. Gu Minzheng stood up after him.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Ji's condition is under control. Just don't have too many emotional ups and downs in the near future."

Gu Minzheng nodded, and then Ji Min was pushed out from the emergency room. There was no trace of blood on his face. He was lying on the hospital bed, looking extremely weak.

"Brother Zheng, I've caused trouble for you."

The moment Ji Min saw Gu Minzheng, tears fell from her eyes. Her face, which was already a pretty face, became even more pitiable because of her crying.

"have a good rest."

Facing Ji Min, Gu Minzheng comforted her expressionlessly, then turned around and planned to leave.

"Brother Zheng, are you married?" Ji Min's words stopped Gu Minzheng from leaving and turned to look at her.

Looking at the corridor with people coming and going, Gu Minzheng did not answer her words and asked the nurse to take Ji Min back to the ward.

After arriving at the ward, she asked the question again without getting an answer.

"Yes."

"Brother Zheng, why? You obviously know..."

"Ji Min, I told you a long time ago that you are my sister."

"But we are unrelated brothers and sisters, why can't you accept me."

After Ji Min finished speaking stubbornly, he felt a pain in his heart when he looked at the indifferent figure with his back turned to him. He clutched the corner of his clothes and his expression became a little paranoid.

"I know. Sure enough, you were seduced by the vixen outside."

"Ji Min, be careful what you say."

When Gu Minzheng heard Ji Min's words, his expression was serious, his jaw tightened, and there was a warning in his words.

"I'm going to tell."

Ji Min looked at Gu Minzheng walking towards the outside of the ward. All the vicious words in her mouth were stuck in her throat. She pulled off the needle of the infusion and shouted hoarsely to Gu Minzheng who walked to the door:

"If you walk out of this ward today, I will die for you. I will see how you will explain to my brother then."

Sure enough, after Ji Min said these words, Gu Minzheng's body froze, and he turned around with an anger and seriousness on his face that she had never seen before.

"The worst I can do is give your brother his life."

Ji Min was startled by Gu Minzheng's serious look and did not dare to say another word.

The blush that appeared on his face due to emotion quickly disappeared, and he fainted in the next second.

Because of Ji Min's fainting, the entire ward fell into panic. Ji Min was pushed into the emergency room again. Zhou Zheng looked at Gu Minzheng standing at the door, blaming himself, and hesitated to speak.

In the next few days, Xu Jingyi deliberately put Gu Minzheng behind and no longer cared about any news about him. She turned off her phone directly and followed the tour guide on the streets of City A.She experienced a different life. She entered a bathhouse for the first time and was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear because of the splendid decoration of the bathhouse.

The first time she took a bath, the sour feeling opened her eyes as a southerner. She also learned to ski. She found that traveling alone was also very good.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. You took me to so many places."

"Ms. Xu, you're too polite. It's because I'm in love with you that I don't know if I'm honored to be your friend."

The guide's character was characterized by the generosity and hospitality of northerners. When they parted at the end, he looked at Xu Jingyi and said.

"Of course, it's my honor to be your friend. When you have time to go to H City, I will be your guide and we will have some fun."

"Okay, it's settled, then I wish you a safe journey."

After bidding farewell to the guide, Xu Jingyi got on the plane and landed in City H a few hours later. After getting off the plane, Xu Jingyi finally turned on her mobile phone that had been turned off for a week.

The phone vibrated crazily in her hand in the first few seconds after it was turned on. After the vibration stopped, she saw all the messages or calls from Gu Minzheng, Yang Yang, Cheng Wan and almost everyone she knew.

Faced with this pile of names, Xu Jingyi first clicked on Gu Minzheng's message: "I will explain to you when you come back."

There is only one message in the dialog box, which seems a bit empty.

Yangyang: "Mr. Xu, look at the hot searches this morning."

Following this sentence, a link appeared immediately behind it.

After Xu Jingyi clicked in, a huge title popped up first.

"The president of the Gu Group left the hospital with a beautiful woman in his arms. Is it possible that good things are about to happen?"

There was a photo attached below the title. Even if it was just a back view, Xu Jingyi could tell at a glance that it was Gu Minzheng.

He was indeed holding a thin woman in his arms, but due to the shooting angle, the frontal face was not exposed.

After Xu Jingyi ran through the people she knew in her mind, she confirmed that she had never seen this person before, and there was a bit of ridicule in her eyes.

Almost masochistically, she clicked on the comment below.

"Wasn't it rumored that Xu Jingyi and Mr. Gu got married before? What's the situation now?"

"Sure enough, rich men are unreliable. Xu Jingyi's wish to fly up a branch and become a phoenix has come to nothing."

"Our sister is so good and doesn't need to rely on men. She perished early in the morning. Cut your braids."

"Looking at the tight hugging posture, it feels like true love."

-

Xu Jingyi looked at the comments one by one, felt her eyelashes tremble slightly, raised the back of her hand, quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, and put on her sunglasses to hide her embarrassment.

The phone vibrated in my hand again. I looked down at the name dancing on the phone. When I was about to hang up, I pressed the connect button.

"Ms. Xu, have you got off the plane? Mr. Gu asked me to pick you up."

Listening to Zhou Zheng's words, the corners of Xu Jingyi's mouth curved, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"I'm already in the car, thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Zheng's heart lifted when he heard Xu Jingyi's calm tone. He smiled and continued:
"Okay, I will tell Mr. Gu that Miss Xu has had a hard time traveling."

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Zhou Zheng's mouth disappeared without a trace, replaced by visible anxiety.

Although he has never been in love, he has seen pigs run away. Any woman who sees her man not only breaking the date with her but also holding other women on the hot search will definitely not act so calmly. She feels that things are going wrong. Big deal.

Not daring to delay, Zhou Zheng immediately called Gu Minzheng and informed him of the situation.

"Well, I understand. You can go back to the company directly."

With a snap, the lighter's flame came out and ignited the cigarette on his fingertips. Unfortunately, nicotine could not suppress the irritability in his heart.

I picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number, but no one answered until the ringing ended and the phone hung up automatically, and the same thing happened after that.

After Xu Jingyi watched Zhou Zheng leave, she took a suitcase and took a taxi directly to the apartment under her name.

The apartment will be cleaned by hourly staff every day, so you can just move in with your bags.

Xu Jingyi looked at the clean and tidy apartment and was even surprised that she was still in the mood to praise her foresight at this time.

After collecting the souvenirs one by one, she asked the hourly worker to cook for herself. Xu Jingyi washed herself early and went to bed to rest.

For her now, she urgently needs to get more sleep. As for other things, she chooses to escape first and talk about it tomorrow.

But maybe there was something on her mind that night, and Xu Jingyi didn't sleep very well.

Half asleep and half awake, she heard the beeping sound of entering the password from the door, and her chaotic consciousness suddenly became clear. In just two or three seconds, many social news such as home invasions and robberies appeared in her mind.
