The atmosphere in the room was somewhat stifling.
No one spoke.
Pride makes one forget oneself.
"Sis, you need to see what kind of person he is. This kind of man is unreliable," Gu Xinyan looked up at Gu Xiangyi, whose face was flushed red with anger, and said in a deep voice, "Even if you're moving out, you need to find a good place. Don't throw yourself to the wolves, a man like that is unreliable."
Gu Xinyan was very clever; in this short interaction, she had already recognized what kind of person Xu Xiangbei was.
Gu Xiangyi's face was gloomy; her sister said what she already knew?
The man in front of her, Xu Xiangbei, from the moment she jumped into his bathtub, she knew this man wasn't proper at all. His hands had lingered on her slender waist for so long.
But what other choice did Gu Xiangyi have?
The situation with the Xiangyi Group was already on the verge of collapse. The old man Gu Mingchun's life depended on this man to be sustained.
More importantly, Chen Ban City in Jiangcheng was already eyeing her like a tiger.
Now, only this unreliable-looking man in front of her could offer her some help.
"I've already decided."
In the end, Gu Xiangyi accepted her fate, lightly said, shaking her red lips.
Gu Xinyan understood her sister Gu Xiangyi's character; once decided, even ten horses couldn't pull her back. She immediately shook her head and said resolutely, "Then go, I won't. Even if I die, I'll die in this house."
Gu Xiangyi and Gu Xinyan were ultimately a pair of sisters.
Both had equally fiery, resolute personalities.
Xu Xiangbei scratched his head, indeed having been somewhat presumptuous earlier. Sitting at the table, he gently tapped the table with his fingers and spoke leisurely, "Are you done talking? If so, I'd like to say a few words."
Gu Xinyan immediately turned her head.
Gu Xiangyi also snorted coldly, utterly disappointed with this man.
"Gu Xinyan, right?" Xu Xiangbei looked at the celestial sister Gu Xinyan and lazily said, "This problem of yours was brought from the womb. Since you were young, you couldn't stand up. But this isn't really a problem. I can make you stand up, would you be willing to go with me?"
The voice echoed in the room.
Gu Xinyan instantly turned her head, staring at Xu Xiangbei sitting at the table.
Her almond-shaped eyes finally brightened for the first time, staring at the man at the table in a daze.
Stand up?
These three words hadn't appeared in Gu Xinyan's mind for a long time.
Since childhood, her grandfather Gu Mingchun sought famous doctors for her.
Ultimately, she could only rely on this wheelchair to live.
Stand up?
That was nothing but daydreaming.
The first moment Gu Xiangyi looked at Xu Xiangbei, her eyes were bright and her voice carried a restrained tremor, "Can you truly make my sister stand up?"
A problem brought from the womb was the hardest to treat.
After all, it was congenital.
But Gu Xiangyi recalled Xu Xiangbei downstairs treating her grandfather Gu Mingchun.
How miraculous was that? Even Zhang Xuesong, who had been tirelessly sought, was convinced and knelt down to Xu Xiangbei.
From within, a sliver of hope grew unexpectedly.
"Making her stand up is not difficult." Xu Xiangbei looked at Gu Xinyan, confident and composed, "It's just a Yin Body, not a disease. Even if it were a disease, my Heaven-defying Eight Needles can bring the dead back to life. What, you don't believe me?"
Gu Xiangyi didn't answer.
But Gu Xinyan shook her head, the slight hope in her beautiful eyes had long burned out.
"I don't believe you."
Gu Xinyan's voice was very cold; over the years, there were always such swindlers, flaunting and deceiving.
Stand up?
Ha ha?
Wasn't this just a trick to deceive my sister?
Xu Xiangbei shook his head, his large hand suddenly seized Gu Xinyan's fair wrist like lightning.
Her wrist, like white jade, was crystal clear, touched felt like smooth, creamy jade, making one's heart itch. However, at this moment, Xu Xiangbei had no sense of lechery.
The inner strength surged into Gu Xinyan's body like a river bursting its banks.
Xu Xiangbei had understood Gu Xinyan's problem.
It was merely a Yin Body, naturally cold.
This was not a disease, but a matter of constitution.
If this constitution is not nurtured.
Then, it easily leads to early death.
Like Gu Xinyan's situation, she might not live past twenty-eight.
But, if nurtured.
A truly Yin Body, if adopting a Cold Cultivation Technique, grows to be quite formidable.
But Xu Xiangbei hadn't considered that far yet.
First, make her stand up.
The inner strength went to nourish and warm the cold energy in Gu Xinyan's body.
A quarter of an hour later.
Xu Xiangbei finally released her hand.
Gu Xinyan, who had been held by Xu Xiangbei, couldn't move at all, deep inside was more anger towards this man's roughness.
"Stand up, give it a try."
Xu Xiangbei looked at Gu Xinyan's face with that tinge of angry redness, speaking slowly.
Gu Xiangyi finally understood that Xu Xiangbei was treating her sister, she looked at Gu Xinyan and explained, "Grandpa's life was pulled back from the gates of hell by Mr. Xu. If he says you can stand, give it a try. Maybe Mr. Xu really has a way."
Gu Xinyan herself had some hesitation, but at this moment she felt warm all over.
Like a warm current flowing through her body, it was very strange.
This gave her half belief, supporting herself on the wheelchair, she slowly tried to stand.
The room was very quiet.
The next scene was unfathomable.
Gu Xinyan, who had been sitting in a wheelchair for so many years, surprisingly stood up, supporting herself on the wheelchair.
Gu Xiangyi's eyes instantly brightened.
Gu Xinyan's hands were similarly trembling slightly, she had waited so many years for this moment.
Standing up and seeing the world, turns out this world is so beautiful.
"Sit down, you can only stand for a while. It's not that simple to solve, I just showed you that I Xu Xiangbei have the ability to make you stand. You need long-term treatment; decide whether to move back or not." Xu Xiangbei's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, he also expended considerable energy.
Gu Xinyan felt the strength in her legs slowly fade, eventually sitting back in the wheelchair.
Her small cherry mouth slightly opened, her tone clearly trembling, "I'm willing to move."
"But why should I help you stand?" Xu Xiangbei showed some unwillingness, his whole body feeling weak and exhausted, "What price can you pay?"
The room echoed Gu Xiangyi's fearless spirit of sacrificing herself for others: "I'll marry you."
"I'll marry you." Gu Xiangyi's voice had barely settled when Gu Xinyan's voice immediately followed.
Their voices were very crisp and pleasant.
This was a pair of sisters, equally fiery and resolute.
They saw through Xu Xiangbei clearly, knowing what he wanted now.
"I agree."
Xu Xiangbei clapped his hands, gladly agreeing.
But then exhaustion overcame him, his vision instantly went dark.
At this moment, he fainted.
Gu Xiangyi quickly caught him.
