Chapter 476 This matter cannot be known to anyone other than us.
In the morning, Amy went to see his mother first, and then came here to wait for Nanxing at the time they had agreed upon.
As soon as Nanxing got out of the car, she saw Amy standing there. She walked over and was a little worried when she saw the bruises under Amy's eyes and her exhaustion.
"Have you not been resting well lately? You look terrible."
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired," Amy smiled at her and said nonchalantly.
Nanxing learned some things about Amy's mother from Lin Ke these past two days, and also understood why Amy and everyone else were so tired.
"Amy, if your mother needs any help, please let me know, and I will help you."
“I know, but it’s not necessary. She’s fine as she is now. This is her fate, and this is the step she was meant to take.”
Amy spoke calmly. He was tired, but he also understood what he should and shouldn't do. His mother had lived like that for more than ten years, and now it was better for her to leave peacefully.
Nanxing patted him on the shoulder, "Whatever decision you make, we understand you, and we believe you have considered it carefully."
Amy nodded.
Nanxing couldn't bear to look at his dark circles.
"Why don't you go back and rest first? I can find the shop's address myself."
"How can that be? I'm your assistant. Do you want to fire me? Make me unemployed?" Amy looked at her with feigned ease and teasing.
Nanxing smiled helplessly, "I'm just worried that you're not getting enough rest."
"Then you don't need to worry at all. I'm perfectly fine and can handle it. I'd be more worried if you didn't let me come with you to watch the shop."
"Alright then, come back to my place tonight, and I'll cook you a nice meal to help you recover."
"Sure, I'm free tonight anyway, so it's good to have some nourishment."
Nanxing had her eye on three locations for the clinic, but she only saw them in photos Yun Shen had given her. She still needed to visit them in person today.
The final choice was a standalone two-story shop with a fairly large area. It wasn't in the bustling city center, but on a relatively quiet, ordinary street. Across the street was a small park with facilities for the elderly and children to exercise and play.
When the children aren't in school, it's a perfect opportunity for them to come over, have some fun, and relax.
She used to work at a clinic like this abroad. On the surface, it was an ordinary clinic where she would sit and see patients as a regular traditional Chinese medicine doctor when she had free time.
When Amy receives some orders, she goes out to work, and the clinic also hires two doctors and several nurses to take care of her.
This kind of life is enough for her, and she has more time to spend with her children.
After confirming the address, the renovation began. If Nanxing were to do it herself, it would take some time to find a renovation company. However, with the Yun family involved, renovation workers arrived on site within an hour of Nanxing calling Yun Shen to confirm the location.
Nanxing had already drawn up the design plans for the renovation, so he just handed them over to the foreman and mentioned some points to note.
At first, Nanxing was thinking about how to recruit people. Later, she asked doctors and nurses abroad, and they all said they were willing to come back and help Nanxing run the clinic.
Everything is ready now, just waiting for the renovations and for the doctors and nurses from abroad to return.
The renovation is quite simple, and I've roughly estimated the time it will take to open.
"Alright, leave the purchasing of equipment to me. With the previous experience, this will be much easier."
Amy is full of energy, finally going back to her old life.
Nanxing was in a good mood. Her lifelong dream and wish was to open such a clinic and accompany the children as they grew up.
When I have the time and the mood, I draw design sketches, and life becomes easy, pleasant, and fulfilling.
With nearly two hours to go before picking up the children, Nanxing planned to go to the company to find Feng Jiejie and let Amy go back to her apartment to rest.
When she arrived at the company, Feng Jiejie was still in a meeting, so Nanxing waited for her in the office and took the opportunity to check on some of the company's collaborations and the progress of some designs.
With nothing else to do, she picked up her drawing board and sketched out a design for a children's dress.
The children's clothing market is doing very well right now, so perhaps the company could explore this area.
Nanxing was drawing as she thought, her mind slowly going blank, until someone pushed the office door open and came in.
Nanxing thought it was Feng Jiejie, so she subconsciously looked up, but she didn't expect to see Gu Yihe instead.
She frowned, put down her easel, sat up straight, and looked at Gu Yihe as he walked in.
"Mr. Gu, why didn't you knock before coming in?"
"Nanxing, I did knock just now, you just didn't hear it."
Gu Yihe sat on the sofa with an air of familiarity, looking at Nanxing with a teasing expression.
Nanxing paused for a moment, thinking that he must have been focused on the drawing and hadn't been paying attention.
This is her own problem; she automatically blocks out some sounds when she is immersed in drawing design sketches or studying patients.
"Really? Since I didn't hear you, you must not have been allowed in. Isn't it a bit impolite of you to come in without permission?"
Nanxing's calm and unhurried counterattack showed no concern whatsoever for Gu Yihe's remark about Nanxing.
Her identity is no longer something she can hide.
“I’ve been coming here around this time every day for the past few days, so I’m used to it.”
"Have you been coming over these past few days?" Nanxing's already furrowed brows tightened even more, clearly indicating her dissatisfaction with Gu Yihe's actions.
Gu Yihe just smiled and said, "Don't be too hostile towards me. I won't do anything to hurt her. I just wanted to come and see her."
"Your presence here is already causing her trouble. You two aren't a good match, so why bother her any longer?" Nanxing said expressionlessly.
"How do you know we're not a good match? How will you know if we're not a good match if you don't try? Besides, I've been coming here these past few days. Do you think I would have come in if she didn't want to?"
Nanxing sneered, "Do you think I don't know how you got in? If you hadn't insisted on using your status and position to pressure her, would she have let you in?"
Gu Yihe paused, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He knew the two were close, but he hadn't expected them to be so close that they would even share these kinds of things with each other.
“Nanxing, I know you might not have a good impression of us because of Yunchuan. We have a good relationship with Yunchuan, but we are not the same person. How can we be the same as him? You shouldn’t condemn everyone with one blow. You should give us a chance, otherwise it’s not fair to us.”
"Fairness? What do you mean by fairness? Is it only fair when Jie Jie gets hurt? Right now, Jie Jie doesn't like you. Otherwise, do you think I would say these things against her will?"
Gu Yihe paused again, realizing that Nanxing's words did indeed make sense.
The reason he is not accepted now is simply because Feng Jiejie is unwilling to open her heart to him.
Nanxing snorted coldly again and didn't say anything more. Gu Yihe remained quiet for a while.
"Nanxing, about what happened back then, Yunchuan..."
"Shut up!" Nan Xing gave him a cold, hard look. "If you're here to talk about Fu Yunchuan, then get out now. I don't want to hear it."
Seeing Nanxing's resistance, Gu Yihe did not continue to mention Fu Yunchuan.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought him up. But could you please let me say what I have to say next? I really need your help."
Nanxing looked at him coldly, neither refusing nor agreeing, but Gu Yihe understood that silence was a form of acquiescence.
He became more serious and said, "We have a few other people here who have health problems, just like Lu Mingzhu, but their conditions are much worse than Lu Mingzhu's."
"Could you find some time to go and take a look? Just do me a favor. My grandma has also taken those people to see her, but she didn't have any solutions. However, she mentioned that you might have some different insights."
"Master really said that?" Nanxing looked at Gu Yihe suspiciously, she didn't quite believe what Gu Yihe had just said.
"Yes, but she brought it up unexpectedly. I asked too many questions and she didn't realize what was on her mind before blurting it out."
"After she realized what she had said, she never mentioned it again, and she wouldn't even let me mention it or contact you. Didn't you already know last time? So could I ask you to help me go and check on those people?"
Gu Yihe told Nanxing the truth, and Nanxing somewhat believed what he said, because it was indeed like the old lady's personality.
As for whether or not to go see those people...
Nanxing felt conflicted. She had indeed been thinking about those patients, not only because she was curious about what those diseases and medicines were all about, but also because she, as a doctor, couldn't bear to see them suffer.
She remembered her master saying that the final symptoms of those patients would be that they would become increasingly painful and would be tortured to the point of being unrecognizable as human.
There was a similar case abroad, but it was not quite the same as this disease. All the doctors were helpless and thought that person would not live for more than six months. So she, who was not going to return, decided to give it a try.
After several months of hard work, the person's body gradually recovered, and both their physical functions and mental state improved.
This was probably why Fu Yunchuan approached her, which at the time made the name Bu Gui famous in high society circles.
Because the person who received treatment was of Chinese descent, and although he wasn't very wealthy, he was a well-known and even highly respected philanthropist.
Fu Yunchuan probably didn't expect that Lu Mingzhu's condition only resembled that of someone suffering from cold-related illnesses, and that it wasn't actually a cold-related illness.
Gu Yihe noticed Nanxing's softening stance and continued earnestly:
"I promise I won't force you. I just want you to go and see it, as a favor to me. I also won't let Grandma know. I can arrange for you to go secretly, and I will definitely ensure your safety, so that you won't be in danger or let anyone else know."
Nanxing's eyes flickered slightly. She was indeed worried about her own safety and didn't want to get involved, because she had to be responsible not only for herself, but also for her children and parents.
If something happens to her, how can she face her children and parents?
But she did not deny that she had always wanted to go and see it.
Gu Yihe waited quietly for Nanxing's reply.
"Okay." After a long while, Nanxing looked up at him. "I can promise to go and take a look, but I can't guarantee whether it can cure him."
"At the same time, this matter can only be known to you and me, and cannot be told to anyone else, especially Fu Yunchuan."
"Of course, I can assure you." Gu Yihe's face regained its gentle smile.
“Xingxing, you…” Feng Jiejie’s voice came from the doorway, but she immediately fell silent when she saw Gu Yihe.
But the next second she quickly walked to Nanxing's side, looked her over worriedly, and asked:
"Xingxing, are you alright? Did he bully you?"
Gu Yihe was so angry he laughed, but his heart felt even more heavy.
Is this how Feng Jiejie perceives him? Does he seem like the kind of person who would hit a woman?
Nanxing: "No, we were just talking about some things. Have you finished your meeting?"
"Yes, the meeting is over. I didn't know he would come over, otherwise I would have come back earlier." Feng Jiejie said with annoyance, then looked up and glared at Gu Yihe.
But Gu Yihe was not angry at her glare; instead, he smiled.
With such beautiful eyes, how could he bear to get angry?
Feng Jiejie's face stiffened, and she felt even more that Gu Yihe was crazy, otherwise why would he laugh even when she glared at him?
"There's no need to rush. I'm not like everyone else; company matters are the most important. I just came over to sit for a bit since the kids haven't gotten out of school yet, and I also wanted to let you know I'm going home for dinner tonight. I'd like to have hot pot, what do you think?"
Nanxing comforted Feng Jiejie, who had no feelings for Gu Yihe and did not think she would be bullied by him.
"Oh? I'm afraid that won't work." Feng Jiejie sat down next to Nanxing with regret.
"I have to work overtime tonight. I have a dinner appointment with the CEO of Huihuang Company tomorrow night to discuss cooperation. I need to work overtime tonight to finalize the contract and cooperation details. If it gets too late, I'll just sleep at the company tonight, so I can't have dinner with you."
When Gu Yihe heard about Brilliant Company, he made a mental note of it, but seeing Feng Jiejie and Nanxing talking and acting coquettishly, he felt a little itchy inside.
He had seen Feng Jiejie in front of others and at work; she was a complete career woman, decisive and efficient, a stark contrast to her current demeanor.
He would be overjoyed if Feng Jiejie could act like that at home with him someday.
"Oh, it's alright. We'll eat again after you're done with your work tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work."
Nanxing didn't feel too much regret, since they could see each other almost every day, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
She was just worried about how busy Feng Jiejie was; Feng Jiejie seemed to have lost weight recently from being so busy.
Feng Jiejie chuckled and said it wasn't hard work, but she was furious to see Gu Yihe still there.
"What are you doing here? Can't you see we're talking? You're getting in our way, get out of here!"
Gu Yihe had no choice but to get up and leave.
"Okay, I'll go first, I won't bother you anymore. I bought some freshly baked peach shortbread today, it tastes really good, remember to eat it while it's hot."
