Chapter 30: Cardiac Arrest

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Xi was a little nervous as she followed the butler upstairs. Her heart was pounding as if she had made a mistake and was called to the office by the form principal.

When they reached the study, the butler opened the door. “This way, please.”

Yan Xi was nervous about meeting Old Master Gu alone.

In the book, Old Master Gu, Gu Hai, was like a living King of Hell. He was born in a military and political family, but later, he took over the Gu family and started doing business.

He was also a man of few words and smiles. He had three sons and one daughter and had many grandchildren, but only Gu An could feel the love of a grandfather from him.

“Have a seat.”

Gu Hai’s voice was rough and sounded intimidating.

Yan Xi sat down and waited for Gu Hai to continue.

“I called you here because I wanted to ask you about what happened between you and Gu Shen.” Gu Hai poured two cups of tea. “He always refused to tell the truth, so I could only call you here.”

She would have to bear the consequences of what the Host did.

Yan Xi said, “Please ask.”

Gu Hai went straight to the point. “Why did you get injured a while ago?” He had been in power for a long time. Even if he didn’t force her to speak, she still felt frightened.

“I cut myself with a knife.”

“Why? Did Gu Shen treat you badly?”

“No, Gu Shen is very good to me.” Since she couldn’t avoid this question, Yan Xi admitted, “I was stupid and couldn’t see through him. Zhang Ming hurt someone, but I still wanted to defend him and wanted Gu Shen to withdraw the lawsuit. Because of this, I got into a fight with Gu Shen and accidentally hurt myself.”

“Young girl, you have a bad temper.” Gu Hai poured her a cup of tea. “You need to change it.”

“Yes.” Yan Xi thought for a while and continued, “Before we’re constantly quarreling because there were some misunderstandings between us. Since the misunderstanding has been cleared, I will treat Gu Shen wholeheartedly from now on and fulfill the responsibility of a wife.”

Gu Hai was much more satisfied and his expression relaxed.

He said calmly, “It’s good that the misunderstanding can be resolved. If Gu Shen has done you any wrong, come and tell me.”

“Okay.” Yan Xi smiled obediently, but she did not believe him at all.

“But Gu Shen lost his parents when he was young. It’s not convenient for him to move and he doesn’t like to talk sometimes. You should be more tolerant of him sometimes.” 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

Yan Xi nodded and said sincerely, “Although Gu Shen doesn’t like to talk, he cares about me a lot. I don’t mind that he’s a cripple.”

“It’s good that you think that way.” Old Master Gu picked up the walking stick beside him. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest and his face turned ashen. He widened his eyes and fell to the ground before he could even scream.

The incident came too suddenly. Luckily, Yan Xi was a doctor by trade. She immediately went over to check on Gu Hai’s condition, then placed him on the ground.

“Butler!” she shouted. “Come here quickly!”

The butler frowned and was annoyed at Yan Xi for being rude, but he still pushed the door open and walked in.

The moment he entered, the butler saw Gu Hai lying on the ground with a pale face.

He panicked. “What happened to the Master!”

“Cut the crap. If he has any medical history, let me know immediately and get someone to get a doctor.”

Seeing that Yan Xi was methodical, the butler was calmer and said. “Old Master has heart disease. The medicine is in the first drawer under the desk. I’ll go call for help now!”

The butler ran out immediately. Yan Xi put her hand under Gu Hai’s nose and realized that he was still breathing weakly.

As long as he was not dead!

She then placed her hand on the artery on his neck.

For ten seconds, the artery did not throb.

Cardiac arrest!

Yan Xi’s eyebrows twitched and she immediately started to give him first aid.
