"Mom's okay," Zeng Huizhen said she was fine, but her hand was pressing tightly against her heart, looking as if she would die of pain at any moment.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, her face twisted into a distorted mess, her eyes closed, and her body was shaking. She had been sitting properly just a moment ago, but now she was curled up on the sofa. She was also clenching her teeth tightly, and her teeth were even chattering.
"Mom, I'll take you to the hospital," Gu Tianxi rushed over immediately.
He shouted loudly for the driver, "Li Quan."
Only after shouting did he remember that the servants and the driver didn't live here.
It was only after he got married that his grandfather allowed him to come to Haicheng.
He didn't want the servants and the driver to know that he hadn't been sharing a room with Song Keying at all. So, he rented a villa near the main villa for the servants and the driver to live in.
Every day, the driver would come to pick him up for work and be on standby all day. After he returned home, the driver would go back to the rented villa to rest.
The servants would leave after cleaning up everything after dinner. They had left early today.
At this moment, there was no driver or servant around.
Gu Tianxi picked Zeng Huizhen up and walked towards the door.
"Pain, Tianxi, why does my heart hurt? What's wrong with me... hiss..." Zeng Huizhen looked as if she was in spasms from the pain, covering her heart with one hand while making a hissing sound with her mouth.
Gu Tianxi knew in his heart that his mother might be trying to get him and Song Keying together.
He understood her feelings as a mother who wanted to have grandchildren.
But he couldn't go along with her wishes.
"I'll take you to the hospital," he said immediately.
Whether the pain was real or fake, going to the hospital could solve the problem. Besides, he also needed a doctor to detoxify him.
"Um... go to the hospital... Tianxi, I can't breathe... huff..." Zeng Huizhen's body was shaking, and she was gasping for breath heavily. She quietly winked at Song Keying who was running downstairs.
Song Keying had an idea in a moment of desperation and immediately said, "Tianxi, we can't take Mom to the hospital now."
Gu Tianxi shot a bloodshot look at her.
Song Keying braced herself and said, "Tianxi, Mom's symptoms are very much like acute myocardial infarction. We can't change her position, or it's easy for her to have a sudden death."
Hearing the word "sudden death", Gu Tianxi froze all over.
Death was a painful word to him.
His father and elder brother had passed away one after another.
Song Keying took the opportunity to say again, "Put Mom back on the sofa and don't move her. I'll call 120, and then I'll contact the nearest pharmacy to send over quick-acting heart-relief pills."
Gu Tianxi gritted his teeth and urged, "Hurry up!"
He turned back and gently placed his mother on the sofa.
"Mom, how are you? Have you caught your breath?" he asked with concern.
Because he was so worried, the effect of the drug in his body was temporarily suppressed.
"I'm much better..." Zeng Huizhen let out a soft sigh and then reached out to hold Gu Tianxi's hand tightly, chattering, "When Mom couldn't catch her breath just now, Mom thought she would never see you guys again..."
"Mom, you'll be okay," Gu Tianxi held his mother's hand tightly and asked Song Keying, "How long will it take for the ambulance to arrive?"
"About 25 minutes," Song Keying said.
"Why so long?"
"Tianxi, we're in a villa area. 25 minutes is already very fast. I'll massage a few acupoints for Mom to relieve her condition first."
"You do it!" Gu Tianxi instructed.
Song Keying immediately walked over and squatted in front of the sofa. She took Zeng Huizhen's hand and began to massage the acupoints.
"Uh..." Zeng Huizhen covered her heart tightly again.
"Mom, how are you?" Gu Tianxi was so nervous that he completely ignored the fact that he was already sweating on his forehead due to the effect of the drug.
"Huff... I can breathe now. I feel much more comfortable."
"Mom, I'll continue massaging for you," Song Keying immediately continued the massage.
"I feel like there's nothing wrong with me," Zeng Huizhen covered her heart and was about to get up.
"Mom, don't move," Song Keying said with concern.
Zeng Huizhen had already sat up and said, "I feel okay."
She stood up, took a couple of steps, took a deep breath forcefully, and then pounded her chest a few times, saying, "I'm really okay. The angina just now might be because I got up too early this morning. I'll probably be fine after taking a nap."
Gu Tianxi was still worried and insisted, "Mom, let's go to the hospital and have a look."
He also needed to go to the hospital himself at the moment.
"No need. I'm sleepy. I don't want to bother. Tomorrow morning, let Keying accompany me to the hospital for a full physical examination," Zeng Huizhen said as she walked towards her room.
"Okay, Mom. Have a good rest. I'll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow," Song Keying said immediately.
"Mom, you have to go to the hospital," Gu Tianxi saw his mother's light steps and was certain that she had been pretending just now. He also felt a bit relieved.
"No need. You two go and rest. Cancel the ambulance. I'm going back to my room," Zeng Huizhen said as she closed the door of her room.
With his mind at ease, the flames of desire in Gu Tianxi's body began to burn fiercely.
His mind was full of Mo Di's face.
The strange and distant look in her eyes when she looked at him.
The unfamiliar way she called him "Young Master Gu" when she didn't allow him to enter Uncle Shen's ward.
Every expression of hers was like a thousand cuts to him.
What hurt him the most was when she called him on the phone three years ago and said, "Tianxi, those photos, it wasn't me."
He said, "Let's break up. It doesn't matter who it was."
After he said that sentence back then, his own heart was torn to pieces, and he also heard her say just one word on the phone: "Okay."
Then, she hung up the phone.
That "Okay" word stabbed into his heart like a sharp knife every time he thought about it, and it hurt so much that he felt like he was dying.
In these three years, he hadn't had a good night's sleep. Every day, he was thinking about how to quickly gain power and truly take control of his own destiny.
However, business was too difficult. His grandfather required him to increase the market value to over 800 billion before handing over the shares to him.
"Xiao Di..." His consciousness was a bit blurred, and he subconsciously murmured this name.
The voice was very soft, but Song Keying still heard it, and her face changed immediately.
She knew that he would never forget that bitch Shen Mo Di.
"Tianxi, are you uncomfortable? I'll help you upstairs," she immediately got up and came over to support him.
Today, her mother-in-law had already helped her this much. She was determined to make it a done deal no matter what.
She knew that Gu Tianxi was a filial person. He had been sent to live with distant relatives by his grandfather since childhood. His father died in a car accident on the way back from having an affair with his mistress. So, he was extremely filial and considerate towards his mother.
Now that his mother was "sick", Gu Tianxi wouldn't leave no matter what.
Now that he was in this state, she didn't believe that he could still hold himself back.
"Get lost," Gu Tianxi was extremely irritable.
Because he found that his self-control was getting weaker and weaker.
He was becoming more and more eager to pounce on Song Keying.
Even, Song Keying's face kept changing in front of him. Sometimes it was Song Keying, and sometimes it was Xiao Di.
Whenever Xiao Di's face appeared in front of him, he felt like pouncing on her at once.
