Gu Xinyi was brought to the hospital immediately. Gu Nantian walked over and draped his outer coat on Xu Zhiyin. Xu Zhiyin looked at herself. She was indeed unkempt. She tugged her clothes but did not remove Gu Nantian's outer coat. She pushed his hand away coldly. "I'll go back first."
Compared to her enthusiasm in rescuing Gu Xinyi, her current response was as cold as an iceberg.
She was mad…
Gu Nantian trailed behind her and saw that Xu Zhiyin was angry. He called out to her guiltily, "Darling."
"Thanks for your outer coat. I'll return to you when I get home." Xu Zhiyin shot Gu Nantian a glance, "Mr. Gu, please don't call me darling anymore. I cannot afford that title."
"Are you angry I pushed Gu Xinyi into the water? I didn't do it on purpose, I…"
He wanted to leave but Gu Xinyi blocked him and he accidentally pushed her into the water.
"No." Xu Zhiyin seized the collar of the outer coat and said indifferently, "Mr. Gu, you don't have to be overly concerned about what I think. I have been a doctor for many years and can't accept people who ignore lives. If I hadn't been here today, all of you would have just watched Miss Gu die in this lake."
Gu Nantian paused.
Xu Zhiyin looked at the row of people behind Gu Nantian. All of them were Gu Nantian's subordinates. Their attitude and response toward Gu Xinyi might not represent the current Gu Nantian but they definitely represented the past Gu Nantian. They must have been trained to behave in this manner.
"I know all of them work for you but I didn't expect them to be so loyal to you when it comes to matters of life and death. If you wish someone to die, they will definitely do it for you, won't they?"
Qiao stood by the side. He and the other subordinates dared not speak.
The day they started following Gu Nantian, they had been obedient and dared not defy Gu Nantian's orders. Even if Gu Nantian asked them to do things they shouldn't do, they would still do it.
Because of this loyalty, they remained at Gu Nantian's side till now.
Today's situation was indeed the epitome of the past Gu Nantian. That moment, what Xu Zhiyin said brought shame to them instantly.
Xu Zhiyin continued, "It turns out that money can buy everything, including conscience. You and I are not the same kind of people. I quit this job because I don't need to work for a crazy man."
Gu Nantian's overcoat was long, just like a dress to Xu Zhiyin. With the overcoat draped on her, she walked forward and the image of her back was firm and stubborn.
Gu Nantian looked at her from her back and he was expressionless for a while.
Qiao knew Gu Nantian was concerned about Xu Zhiyin and was worried, "Master, do you want me to get Dr. Xu back here?"
As long as Gu Nantian didn't agree, Xu Zhiyin would not be able to leave.
What if they kidnapped her?
To Gu Nantian, no one could stop him from doing what he wished to do.
Out of expectation, Gu Nantian waved his hand and stopped Qiao. "Didn't you see that she's really angry?"
Qiao replied, "Dr. Xu has been angry before. You just have to say a few nice words and her heart will soften."
"It's not the same this time." She wasn't even this angry when he climbed up her bed and took advantage of her that night.
"What should we do now?" Qiao asked, worried.
"Send her back." This was the Gu family's land. Without a car, she would have to walk several hours on foot.
With the overcoat on her, Xu Zhiyin walked down the stairs step by step. As a doctor, the thing she could not endure was the people who ignored lives.
In circumstances when one was able to help people, one should render his or her help.
But Gu Nantian…
He just stood there watching Gu Xinyi drown.
This man was too scary!
She and Gu Nantian belonged in two different worlds. Even when he lost his memory, he was not very kind.
But she…
She was only an ordinary woman who couldn't understand people like Gu Nantian.
So, she thought she'd better stay far away from such man.
Gu Xinyi was his lover in the past. Now that he had lost his memory, he could see her die.
What about next time?
If Gu Nantian were to get his memory back, by then, she would be a non-important person to him and because she knew too much of his secrets, how would he treat her?
She didn't want to take this risk or to be drawn into Gu Nantian's world.
"Dr. Xu." While she walked, a car stopped by her side.
Xu Zhiyin alertly looked at the person in the car, "Why? Did Gu Nantian send you to catch me?"
Qiao answered, "Mr. Gu asked me to send you back. There aren't any taxis here, you can't just walk out like this, can you?"
Xu Zhiyin looked at the wide road. Besides Gu's car, there weren't any other cars.
When she saw that Gu Nantian had not followed, Xu Zhiyin got into the car.
She had nowhere to go temporarily. So, she went to her friend's house.
Qiao left after dropping her. Xu Zhiyin went upstairs and pressed the doorbell. After a while, the door was opened.
"Zhiyin?" The person who opened the door was Fang Qian, Xu Zhiyin's best friend. Both of them grew up together and they were very close.
"Do you know everyone knew about your divorce? Because of this, your mother was extremely angry and I heard she was ill! Today, my mother went to see her in the hospital. Please go and visit her when you're free!"
Xu Zhiyin was taking a shower in the bathroom when she heard Fang Qian's voice from outside.
These few days, she had been hiding in the Gu Mansion and did not pay attention to what happened outside of the Gu Mansion. This matter had indeed developed to a stage she didn't wish.
After her shower, she came out wearing Fang Qian's pajamas, "Is my mother alright?'
Her mother did not inform her that she was ill so she guessed it shouldn't be something serious.
"It isn't anything serious. I heard she was discharged this afternoon." Fang Qian stood by a side and while browsing her phone, she asked, "Why did you divorce Ji Liunian? Haven't you always liked him?"
"Chuxia is back. What can I do?" Xu Zhiyin sighed helplessly.
When she thought of Ji Liunian's attitude toward her last night, she had completely stopped viewing him through rose-tinted glasses.
"Even if Chuxia is back, you shouldn't agree to the divorce! I bet if you hadn't agreed, Ji Liunian wouldn't have been able to do anything. Let him be if he likes Chuxia! You just continue to become Mrs. Ji and spend his money. Let Chuxia be the third party her entire life." Fang Qian had always disliked Chuxia, so, she was angry at the mention of Chuxia.
Xu Zhiyin looked at Fang Qian and smiled. "It's useless even if I regret now."
She had regretted earlier on.
