Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 473: Beyond Redemption

Mr. An instructed his son-in-law, "Yi Ke, after we go home, you and Jun Xi should not argue. It’s not good if the kids see it."

Gu Yikun said, "I will take care of Xi Xi, don’t worry, Dad and Mom."

Gu Jinxiu knew that his grandparents were going back to their hometown, "What kind of place is Xinan? Grandma, I want to go play."

An Junxi said, "Xinan is very beautiful. Next year, your dad and I will take you there to play."

Gu Jinxiu asked, "Can I go catch little fish and shrimp in the river?"

"You probably can. I haven’t been back for a long time, so I’m not sure."

After Xinan developed its tourism, the environment wasn’t as good as before. The local government began paying more attention to environmental protection due to some illegal business activities by the eldest uncle. While the clear rivers might be preserved, the small fish and shrimp may struggle to survive.

An Junxi knew that her family lacked nothing, but she still bought a lot of things for her parents to take back, saying, "Give some to the neighbors."

She felt depressed for several days, continuously sensing that something bad was going to happen.

It was normal for her parents to go back to their hometown. What exactly was she afraid of?

Two days before Mr. An was set to depart, Gu Yikun went to the Yuhua Mansion and straightforwardly said, "Dad, I know you want to go back to recover. Listen to me, accepting the surgery in time is the only way to fully recover. I hope you both can watch Ai Xi grow up."

Mr. An sighed deeply, "Yi Ke, there’s really nothing I can hide from you."

"Dad, I will find the best doctor for you."

Mrs. An said, "I’ve advised him to have the surgery, but he just wouldn’t listen."

Gu Yikun understood the old man’s concerns. He earnestly said a lot, convincing Mr. An, "Don’t tell Xi Xi until I’ve recovered."

Gu Yikun didn’t want his wife to know either, "Alright, I will make the arrangements."

Mrs. An asked, "Are we still going back to Xinan?"

"Stick to the plan and go back to Xinan. I will arrange for your treatment abroad. Xi Xi won’t know about it."

Mr. An was more worried, "Can it be done domestically?" If something went wrong with the surgery, he didn’t want to die in a foreign land.

In order to reassure his father-in-law, Gu Yikun said, "I can bring the medical team here."

Mr. An agreed, "Yi Ke, I’m troubling you with this."

"Dad, we are family. Don’t say that."

On the day her parents returned to Xinan, An Junxi saw them off. Gu Yikun arranged transportation for the elderly couple, along with several attendants. Seeing this arrangement, An Junxi felt completely at ease, "Dad, Mom, call me when you get home."

"We will. It’s been a long time since we went home; we really miss it."

Watching the car drive away, Gu Yikun took An Junxi home, "Dad and Mom will be back soon."

Mr. and Mrs. An’s car didn’t get on the highway but instead went to the dock.

The Gu Family had a private island with good environment and air, and the privacy could be protected. Gu Yikun arranged for the two elders to receive treatment there.

Mr. An boarded the ship, still looking back reluctantly. Mrs. An, this time stronger than the old man, said, "Stop looking. We will come back."

Mr. An’s eyes were filled with tears, "I hope heaven will grant me a few more years."

After her parents returned home, An Junxi found herself idle for several days. Gong Xiaoyu, afraid she would waste away, got her to help organize teaching materials, "I put a lot of effort into the new curriculum; you must help me."

An Junxi forced herself to stay busy. During this time, Chen Ming called her a few times, but she ignored him.

After rejecting him this time, Chen Ming should understand, right?

This was what An Junxi thought, but Chen Ming didn’t see it that way.

From anxiety to anger, "Isn’t the family so rich? How come they can’t even come up with a couple hundred thousand? Who would believe it? That Gu family is so heartless, can’t blame me."

He Sirui was all powerful and authoritative in the Yin Family. Even Tao Manqiu couldn’t control her in the hospital. She truly believed herself to be the mistress of the Yin Family and became more excessive day by day.

When Tao Manqiu returned to the Yin Family after recuperating, He Sirui still posed in front of her mother-in-law. Before even sitting down at the dining table, she started eating.

Tao Manqiu had two servants hold her down and slapped that face that disgusted her.

He Sirui hated being slapped the most. The first time Gu Qianlan slapped her caused her psychological trauma. She didn’t expect Tao Manqiu would actually hit her, "You dare to hit me?"

The fierce battle in the hall kept the servants worried yet glued to the scene. Seeing the Young Madam get slapped finally made them feel vindicated!

Tao Manqiu sneered, "You’re a He, and you really think marrying into this family means you’ll live a luxurious life? If I don’t discipline you, you’ll forget how to be human!"

He Sirui indeed forgot how to be human. She thought she had won the war for family status.

She couldn’t break free from the two servants’ grip, "I’ll get a medical exam and sue you for personal injury! I’ll make sure the Yin Family loses all face!"

"Go ahead and sue. I’d love to have reporters ask how that cheap woman Jiang Liu raised her daughter," Tao Manqiu picked up a dish and dumped the whole plate over He Sirui’s head, "Eat it, the whole plate is yours, you uncouth wretch!"

He Sirui screamed like mad, "You old hag, you’re insane!"

Her face, already slapped, now burned even more as hot soup poured over it.

Tao Manqiu smashed the bowl on the ground, "He Sirui, I call the shots in this house. If you provoke me again, just see how I deal with you!"

The whole Yin Family watched the farce unfold. Tao Manqiu said, "In the future, if the Young Madam steps out of line, feel free to remind her for me. Don’t hold back."

"Yes, Madam."

Tao Manqiu sneered, "Haha, it’s nice having a new pet at home."

He Sirui finally felt terror. What kind of family had she married into?

Embarrassed, she returned to her room, thinking it was all An Junxi’s fault!

She called the private detective, "How come you haven’t found an opportunity to strike yet? Is it a money issue?"

An Junxi must have a weak spot. She had to make sure An Junxi died without a full corpse!

The private detective said, "I really couldn’t find an opportunity. An Junxi is always escorted by someone. Even her parents in Yuhua Mansion have bodyguards. There’s no chance to strike."

Initially, they didn’t know the ordinary-looking elders had bodyguards. They were knocked down after just trailing them for a couple of streets.

He Sirui raged, "Those old geezers can’t be protected 24/7!"

"They really are. President Gu arranged a team of bodyguards for them. They left Yan City a couple of days ago; I don’t know where they went."

"Find out."

"Understood."

He Sirui threw down the phone, "Useless!"

At this moment, Chen Ming found her, "Miss He, what do you want me to do?"

He Sirui smiled. Indeed, money makes the world go round, "Why come to me? Didn’t you say not to offend the Gu Family?"

Chen Ming justified, "An Junxi has no benevolence. She’s heartless, not saving lives. If people don’t look out for themselves, heaven will destroy them."

"Good, I appreciate someone like you," He Sirui said, "We’ll discuss this in person. You won’t be short of rewards afterward."

Later, An Junxi understood what the saying "a favor given becomes a grudge if too generous" meant. She should never have transferred that money to Chen Ming from the start.

It was this act of kindness that almost pushed her into an abyss.
