Chapter 402: Loathed Himself For Being In Such A Sorry State, He Gave Her Everything
Gu Yan walked over and saw the cigarette butts scattered on the ground by the bed. He roughly counted them and found that there were at least two or three packs of cigarettes. His gaze immediately darkened.
He strode to the bed and reached out to snatch the cigarette that had just been lit in Fu Tingyu’s hand. He threw it on the ground and said angrily, “You smoked all night? Do you want to die?”
Fu Tingyu’s hand was in the same position as if he was still holding the cigarette. After a few seconds, he slowly put his hand down and turned his head to look at Gu Yan. His dark pupils were as deep as an endless abyss. He seemed calm and unruffled but the struggle in the depth of his eyes never stopped.
He slowly said, “I can’t sleep.”
As soon as he spoke, he realized that his voice was even more hoarse than last night.
Gu Yan could roughly guess that he had something on his mind when he saw Fu Tingyan acting like this. After all, they had grown up together.
He sighed, “Even if you can’t sleep, you can’t sit around and smoke all night.”
Gu Yan pulled over a chair and sat down. He directly grabbed Fu Tingyu’s hand and started to take his pulse.
Fu Tingyu didn’t say anything. Smoking all night didn’t manage to calm him down. Instead, it made him more and more irritated. However, he couldn’t find a way to vent it out. That suppressed feeling almost drove him crazy.
Gu Yan had been frowning ever since he took his pulse. After he finished, he raised his head to look at Fu Tingyu. He was a little worried. “What’s wrong with you? Did you quarrel with Qin Shu again?”
Fu Tingyu didn’t answer and instead, asked, “How much time do I have left?”
Fu Tingyu was very calm but Gu Yan was a little flustered. He hesitated for a long time before he said, “Halve it. The poison acts faster than I expected.”
As soon as Gu Yan finished speaking, the bedroom fell silent.
Fu Tingyu lowered his eyes as if he was thinking about something.
Gu Yan was afraid that Fu Tingyu would think of unnecessary things so he told him his plan. “I’m already preparing to go into the mountains to collect some herbs. Some herbs can only be found deep in the mountains and forests. I’m sure I can find the missing herbs.”
Fu Tingyu suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Gu Yan. It seemed as though he had already guessed what he was thinking. “What if you can’t find them?”
Gu Yan replied, “I haven’t gone to look for them yet. How do you know you can’t find them?”
Fu Tingyu chuckled. “Didn’t you go into the mountains to look for them before? You didn’t find anything at that time.”
However, Gu Yan was a little excited. “The mountain I went to last time was protected by humans. Even if there were wild medicinal herbs, they wouldn’t grow because they weren’t properly protected. The forest I chose this time is different. I saw some medicinal herbs in a pharmacology book that aren’t available on the market. There is a mountain forest mentioned in thebook but its geographical location is a little unbelievable. You can’t see it from afar. You can only see it when you get closer. I believe that I can definitely find the herbs.”
Fu Tingyu looked at Gu Yan who was a little excited. This was the first time he had seen Gu Yan like this . Even if he did not have much hope, he still nodded. “Then I’ll wait for your good news.”
Gu Yan did not forget to remind him, “I might spend a few days in the mountain this time. If you continue to vomit blood, you can only take medicine. Every medicine has its side effect. This medicine is very strong. Taking too much is no different from taking poison.”
Fu Tingyu grunted.
Gu Yan glanced at the cigarette butts on the ground. “Stop smoking. I’ll get Ning Meng to come up and clean it up.”
Fu Tingyu looked down at the cigarette butts on the ground. There were dozens of cigarette butts. He did not expect himself to smoke so much unknowingly.
After Gu Yan left, Ning Meng came in and started to clean the floor. When she saw Lord Fu’s sick look, she was worried and afraid. She did not dare to say anything and just lowered her head to sweep the cigarette butts on the ground.
Fu Tingyu lifted the blanket, got off the bed, and walked into the bathroom to wash up. He looked at himself in the mirror. His features were still distinct but his face was pale. There was a clear patch of blue-black under his eyes and the red blood vessels in his eyes were obvious. He looked a little like a terminally ill patient.
There was also a barely visible dishevelled look.
He lowered his eyes and stopped looking at himself in the mirror. He seemed to hate this sight of himself.
After washing up, he walked out of the bathroom. When he walked to the bedroom, Ning Meng had already finished cleaning and left the bedroom. He walked straight into the cloakroom, took off the light-colored robe he was wearing, opened the closet, and took out a black suit with a white shirt inside.
When he changed his clothes, fixed his hair, and looked in the mirror again, the sickly look he had before had disappeared. The man standing in the mirror was in a suit and tie. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s. He was the Lord Fu of the business world, the one who controlled everything. He was also the Lord Fu of Jiangcheng, the person feared by everyone.
Fu Tingyu stared at his face for a while. He didn’t seem satisfied.
He withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked out of the cloakroom. When he passed by the bedroom, he bent down to pick up the phone on the bedside table and held it in his hand. Then, he walked out of the bedroom.
Shi Yan happened to be walking over from the stairs. He was holding a pot of medicinal porridge that had just come out of the pot. When he saw the neatly dressed Lord Fu, he was shocked. “Lord Fu, why are you up?”
Fu Tingyu raised his eyebrows. “I’m not crippled.” There was a big drop of cold sweat on Shi Yan’s forehead. It was at the edge of dripping down. “No, Lord Fu, that’s not what I meant. You just woke up last night. You need to rest more.”
Fu Tingyu ignored Shi Yan. He walked past him and went downstairs.
Shi Yan immediately followed. “Lord Fu, Young Master Gu said that you need to rest more.”
Fu Tingyu replied, “My legs are on my body.”
Shi Yan was speechless: …
It is on your body. Otherwise, you would still be lying on the bed.
Fu Tingyu walked straight down to the dining room.
Shi Yan looked at Lord Fu’s tall and straight back view. On the surface, he looked as if nothing had happened. After yesterday’s coma and loss of too much blood, even an iron man would not be able to withstand it.
However, Lord Fu… He did not dare to say much to his master.
While Shi Yan was in a daze, Fu Tingyu had already walked to the dining table and sat down. He turned on his phone and looked at the time. Today was the weekend. His original plan was to return to Jiang City on Monday morning.
Shi Yan quickly followed and placed the porridge on the plate in front of Lord Fu. Then, he retreated to the side.
Fu Tingyu glanced at the steaming porridge in front of him. He put his phone aside, picked up the spoon, and began to eat casually.
After breakfast, Fu Tingyu went straight to the second floor.
Shi Yan quickly followed him.
In the study room
Shi Yan stood at the side and looked at Lord Fu who was sitting in front of the dark brown desk. He was holding a pen in his hand. He didn’t know what he was writing but he didn’t dare to ask.
Time passed by, minute by minute. Shi Yan’s gaze was fixed on Lord Fu, who was sitting in front of the desk.
Finally, Lord Fu, who was sitting in front of the desk, stopped writing. He closed the pen case and handed him the things he had written.
“Print it out and then give it to me to sign.”
Shi Yan took the papers and had a look at it. He knew what he was going to print just by looking at the first page. It was a share offer letter and the beneficiary was Qin Shu. He looked at the next page. It was for the transfer of the properties under his name. He looked at the next few pages. They were all transfer letters and the beneficiaries were all Qin Shu.
