For no reason at all, the scene of the first time she delivered medicine to Ji Pianran came to mind.
She was ragged, her hair a mess, and her face was as pale as paper.
Lying on the small dry board bed propped up in her own grocery store, she looked as miserable as she could be.
If Shen Cuizhi hadn't brought her back, she really could have died out there.
And the culprit for all this was her uncle, Ji Changming!
He was the one who caused her to suffer so much out there!
Thinking about this, Gu Chen's good-looking eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly, and his eyes became much sharper.
At this moment, the voice of Ji Guangsheng came from the ward.
'Bai Guang, come in.'
As long as Ji Guangsheng was around, Bai Guang would never leave without saying goodbye.
Hearing Mr Ji call his name, Uncle Guang hurriedly bowed his head and walked towards the room.
Gu Chen followed behind him.
He should not have gotten involved in the Ji family's affairs, and he didn't want to get involved.
But since this matter involved Ji Pianran, then he had to get involved.
His daughter-in-law could not be bullied for nothing!
Although it is true that without Ji Changming's evil deeds behind the scenes, he probably would not have met Ji Pianran.
But there are no ifs in life.
And it is impossible to make what is wrong right just because of a hypothetical situation.
What is wrong is wrong.
If you do something wrong, you must pay the price.
Although Gu Chen is usually carefree and not easily offended, in this matter, he must not only be offended, but also make him pay the price he deserves.
'Sir,' Bai Guang walked over to the wheelchair and nodded slightly towards Mr Ji, looking like he was at his complete disposal.
Ji Guangsheng didn't say anything, but just raised his hand, and Bai Guang understood what Mr Ji meant.
He wanted him to handle this matter.
Right now, the person definitely had to be replaced.
But the price for doing something wrong was that he had to bear it too!
The so-called price was nothing more than informing the catering industry in Sichuan Province that this person was no longer usable.
The first thing adults learn is to bear the consequences.
He looked at Guangzhuo's face and spoke resolutely.
'Go.'
Hearing that he had to go, Guangzhuo was terrified. His face turned red, and his expression was even more hideous than if he were crying.
Even the blue veins on his forehead were faintly visible.
His hands were clenched together so tightly that they looked scared.
He finally gritted his teeth and knelt directly on the ground.
'Mr Ji, I really know that I was wrong. It's just that our family is so poor, and we had no choice. We have three children to support, the eldest has to get married, and the second one is going to university. I just lost my head. Please don't make me go, I promise, it will never happen again.'
His whole body was shaking as he spoke.
It was clear that he really didn't want to leave.
Uncle Guang looked at him with impatience, 'If you'd known this was going to happen, why did you do it in the first place? The Ji family has not given you no chance!'
You should know that he is working for the Ji family.
The Ji family is not a place where you can just casually work.
'Please, I really won't do it again,' Guangzhuo was almost in tears, his bloodshot eyes full of pleading.
'Please, have mercy, please beg Mr. Ji,'
he knew that with the Ji family's power, it would only take one word to end his career in the catering industry for life.
His future would be completely ruined.
The family would also lose their financial support completely.
The dowry and house for the eldest son, the tuition fees for the second son, and the living expenses for the youngest daughter.
It was all over.
To be honest, a burly man kneeling on the ground and begging so piteously did look quite pitiful.
'Why don't you let her stay?' Gu Chen said slowly.
As soon as he said this, Guang Shu's expression changed instantly.
Are you kidding me? This kind of person actually wants him to stay?
The Ji family is not a market!
Even if it is a market, it can't have all kinds of bad fish and rotten shrimp.
'Don't worry about this,' said Uncle Guang, looking at Chen with a serious expression.
Even the usually silent Guangsheng couldn't help but speak up.
'Kindness is not always a good thing.'
It seems that this kid still lacks the experience.
Chen gave a slight smile and spoke in a calm tone.
'I just think that his words will have a significant impact on Uncle Guang.'
He wasn't reluctant, he just felt that it might be useful to keep this person around.
If he were to keep him, then Ji Guangsheng wanted Ji Changming to know something. Then he would know something.
And in Ji Changming's heart, the authenticity of this matter was unquestionable.
In that case, it might bring unexpected benefits to Ji Guangsheng.
Many things would also be a lot simpler.
Gu Chen spoke with complete calm.
It was as if he were talking about the weather.
Ji Guangsheng's dark eyes lit up imperceptibly.
This son-in-law is no ordinary person, no wonder Bai Guang appreciates him so much.
It seems that I really don't understand him.
Since this cook can pass on a message to Ji Guangsheng, as long as I make use of him a little, he will pass on whatever I tell him to, in which case, dealing with the second son may only take a few words.
Uncle Guang's eyes stared straight at Ji Guangsheng, as if waiting for his verdict.
His mind was filled with shock.
How much more does this boy Gu Chen have that I don't understand?
I originally only thought that he was good at business and quick-witted, but now I realise that he is both rough and subtle.
I never thought that this boy would also be able to do this.
He suddenly realised that he had never truly understood this person, Gu Chen.
He was truly unfathomable.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as half-Buddha and half-demon.
Ji Guangsheng slowly blinked his eyes and said after a while, 'Just do what Gu Chen says.'
Ji Guangsheng's words were like a reassurance for Uncle Guang.
Hearing this, he hurriedly looked at Guang Zhuo on the ground again, his tone cold.
'Did you hear what Mr. Gu just said?'
Guang Zhuo nodded desperately, "I heard it, I heard it!'
After saying this, he hurriedly knelt down and turned to Gu Chen, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, thank you, Mr. Gu!'
Gu Chen's words not only changed his own fate, but also the fate of his entire family.
He was his benefactor!
Seeing that he was about to kowtow to him, Gu Chen hurriedly squatted down and grabbed his arm.
'No, don't. A man's knees are like gold.'
To be honest, he really couldn't stand people who kowtow at every opportunity.
It was the modern era, and people were still kowtowing to others.
Moreover, we are all adults. If you hurt someone's interests, do you really think that a simple kneeling will make it all go away?
How could it? Kneeling only makes people look down on you even more, and it doesn't serve any purpose.
At least that's how Gu Chen sees it.
Kneeling is the most unpromising thing ever!
He carefully surveyed the man kneeling on the ground, and after a while, he spoke indifferently.
'It's not a good habit to worship Buddha indiscriminately. Everyone can only have one Buddha in their heart. Once you decide on one, you can't worship another. Worshipping this one today and that one tomorrow is really not a good habit.'
Gu Chen spoke very slowly and his voice was not loud.
However, it gave an indescribable sense of shock.
Even Ji Guangsheng in the wheelchair couldn't help but take another look at him.
