YM778.TV Chapter 57 - 57: You Don I t Have to Pity Him
After she went upstairs, he went straight to her room.
Lu Miao asked directly, ” If you want to see him, why don’t you go downstairs?”
“Tsk, I hate him the most. I get annoyed just hearing his voice.
If he hadn’t come back, I would have been waiting for sister-in-law at the door.”Gu Jinxi pursed his lips.
“Why do you hate him?” Lu Miao asked curiously.
Logically speaking, he and Gu Ziheng were about the same age, so they should have been able to play together since they were young.
Gu Jinxi snorted. ” Didn’t he go to the entertainment industry halfway through his studies? Yet he even despises me every day.”
Lu Miao was speechless.
“Have you finished your homework?”
“Of course.”
Gu Jinxi puffed out his chest proudly and ran up to his room on the third floor to get his homework before running down to check on Lu Miao.
During dinner, due to Gu Jinxi’s previous experience of being bewitched away by Lu Miao, Gu Xingyu was afraid that Gu Ziheng would be tempted and taken away by Lu Miao again.
Sitting beside Gu Ziheng, she clung to him and talked incessantly, not even letting him give a glance to Lu Miao.
Gu Ziheng accidentally picked up a piece of chili from the spicy chicken dish and put it into his mouth habitually without even looking at it.
He subconsciously took two bites and frowned.
Seeing this, Shen Qinghe hurriedly called the servant to bring a trash can over for him to spit.
“Tell me, why are you so careless during a meal?”
Gu Xingyu looked nervous. ” Third Brother, how are you? Are you alright?”
On the side, Gu Jinxi sneered and said disdainfully, “Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over eating a piece of chili? If I didn’t know any better, I would think it was poison.”
“Third Brother’s throat hasn’t recovered, you know that.”
As Gu Xingyu spoke, she glared at Lu Miao. “It’s all your fault. Why do you like spicy chicken so much? If his throat relapses because of you, I won’t spare you.”
A few days ago, when Lu Miao passed by the living room, a food program was playing on TV and the chef happened to be making Sichuan cuisine. The screen was filled with bright red chili peppers, and Lu Miao subconsciously looked at them for a few more seconds, which happened to be noticed by Shen Qinghe. She asked if he liked spicy food, and Lu Miao casually replied with a yes.
Shen Qinghe immediately instructed the servants to make at least one dish spicy every time they cooked.
Gu Ziheng’s throat had been bad for a long time, and he couldn’t touch anything spicy or stimulating at all.
When he was at home, these things were never allowed on the dining table.
This time, it was also because he had returned so abruptly that the servants had forgotten his habits.
“Enough, Xingyu. It was your third brother who was careless.”Shen Qinghe frowned and scolded.
Gu Jinxi chimed in from the side. ” That’s right. He’s not a child that still needs
Sister-in-law to keep an eye on him.”
Because Gu Jinxi called her sister-in-law, Gu Ziheng finally turned his head to look at Lu Miao.
He knew Gu Jinxi’s personality very well. He had a bad temper and was stubborn. He refused to submit to anyone and treated his family like enemies.
They had never liked each other since they were young and had never called him brother.
To be able to make him call her sister-in-law willingly and even defend her in public, this Lu Miao really had some tricks up her sleeve.
Thinking of what Gu Xingyu had told him, his expression darkened.
Before finishing the meal, Gu Ziheng’s throat had swelled to the point where he couldn’t speak at all, and even his fair and white face had turned red. He looked very uncomfortable.
Shen Qinghe immediately called the driver and took Gu Ziheng to the hospital with Gu Xingyu following closely behind.
Only Lu Miao and Gu Jinxi were left in the huge dining area.
Gu Jinxi stole a glance at her. He was afraid that she would mind Gu Xingyu’s scolding earlier, so he quickly said to her warmly, ” Sister-in-law, it’s fine.
Don’t worry about them. Hurry up and eat. ‘
Lu Miao put down her chopsticks and thought of how Su MO had been crying out for her heart while hugging her phone every day. She looked up at Gu Jinxi.
” What’s wrong with his throat?”
It looked very serious and did not seem like an ordinary throat pain.
Gu Jinxi pursed his lips and spoke reluctantly.
“Two years ago, halfway through his studies at Harvard, he suddenly gave up his studies to run into the entertainment industry.
He had a good face and a good singing voice. His first song was a hit.
He had just been popular for half a year, and when he was at the height of his popularity, he had once participated in a show. He did not know who had poisoned his cup of water backstage.
Although he was discovered in time, his throat and stomach were still seriously injured.
From then on, he could no longer sing or eat spicy food.”
No wonder she had noticed that Gu Ziheng’s voice sounded hoarse when he spoke, which was completely at odds with his delicate face. She had thought it was natural, but now she knew the reason.
Lu Miao’s delicate fingers unconsciously rubbed the bracelet on her wrist as she asked casually, ” Did you not catch the person who poisoned him?”
Gu Jinxi frowned and shook his head. ‘
At the time, there were a lot of people in the backstage area, including the program crew, the artists’ staff, the organizers’ staff, and a lot of transient people. And there were too many corners and blind spots that the surveillance cameras couldn’t cover in the backstage area. The police practically went through all the surveillance footage in the backstage area, but couldn’t find any clues. The matter was left unresolved.’
The entertainment industry was a cutthroat place, where many people would do anything to become famous.
The so-called “unwritten rules” for getting ahead were commonplace. Some people were jealous of others’ success and resorted to dirty tactics out of a sense of unfairness.
There were just too many dirty tricks that could be used against a newcomer who had just become popular and didn’t yet know the rules of the industry. Lu Miao nodded. ” It’s just an injury to the throat. It should be treatable. ‘
Gu Jinxi casually picked up a piece of fish. As he picked the bones, he said, That poison targets the throat specifically. My second brother has found many famous doctors in this area in the country and abroad. He has also taken all kinds of medicine, but it’s all useless.
After that, he gave up on the idea of treating it and stopped taking medicine.
However, you don’t have to pity him because of this.”
He picked up the fish bones and placed them into Lu Miao’s bowl. ” After this incident, Mom and Second Brother asked him to go back to school, but he refused.O
He wasn’t willing to invest in a movie or TV show either.
He had to spend all his time on some extremely lousy online music programs. He was even lazier than me.
Other than that, everything else was pretty good.
My second brother even assigned him a professional team and security team.” Gu Jinxi complained but did not forget to throw shade at him again.
“Moreover, after that, in order to accommodate him, my mother completely deprived us of the right to eat spicy food.
I think he’s too spoiled. Why should we all accommodate him?
It’s his own fault for not being able to eat and not paying attention. It’s none of your business.
Xingu is an idiot, don’t take her words to heart..”
