Chapter 1980: The Miserable Fiancée vs. The Young Lady of a Wealthy Family (Part 15)
Gu Shengyin stood by the column of the corridor, quietly watching Chang Fei flailing in the water.
Chang Fei couldn’t swim; he needed to suffer a bit.
She feigned a shocked look on her face and shouted in a sharp voice, "Brother, brother, are you okay? Come up quickly!"
As Chang Fei splashed around: "..."
He actually wanted to say, if I could come up, would I need you to tell me?
Don’t just yell; how about you go get someone!
But as soon as he opened his mouth, cold water rushed into his mouth and nose, making it impossible to speak.
Gu Shengyin "frantically" called for a while and finally seemed to remember that there was another person in the house.
She let out an "ah," and said urgently, "Uncle Yuan is in the house, I’ll go get someone!"
After saying that, she turned and ran off.
Chang Fei: "..."
Gu Shengyin leisurely walked towards the west wing where Uncle Yuan was, taking the time to glance at the rose flowers she was growing.
Estimating that almost enough time had passed, she raised her voice and shouted, "Uncle Yuan, Uncle Yuan, brother fell into the water!"
...
By the time Uncle Yuan fished Chang Fei out, he was already somewhat unconscious.
Gu Shengyin watched coldly; he definitely wouldn’t die, but suffering some hardship was certain.
Sure enough, after the doctor checked, he said, "No major issues, but the patient may have been frightened and caught a chill, needing bed rest for recovery."
That night, Chang Fei began to develop a fever.
Chang Gensheng came home late at night, and after hearing that Chang Fei had fallen into the water, he went to see him specially, with a worried look between his brows.
After all, he had raised the child for nine years; how could there be no feelings at all?
He returned to his room and found his daughter sitting there.
"Jiujiu?" Chang Gensheng called out in surprise.
Usually, if there was nothing, his daughter wouldn’t wait for him like this.
Gu Shengyin glanced at him and suddenly said, "I was the one who pushed brother into the pond."
Chang Gensheng’s eyes widened: "Jiujiu, you..."
He stared at Gu Shengyin for a long time, and his tense expression suddenly relaxed: "Was there a special reason?"
Hearing this, Gu Shengyin felt warmth in her heart.
Chang Gensheng still trusted his daughter.
He didn’t immediately blame her but asked for her reason.
Her eyes reddened as she looked at her father, seemingly very aggrieved: "Brother, he, brother he..."
She took a deep breath and recounted what happened during the day.
"What did you say!" Chang Gensheng, who had just sat down to drink tea, stood up directly upon hearing.
"That beast!" Chang Gensheng looked at his daughter nervously, "Jiujiu, are you okay?"
Gu Shengyin shook her head: "I struggled, and somehow, he fell into the water by himself."
Hearing that his daughter was okay, Chang Gensheng’s face relaxed: "It’s good that nothing happened. This matter has nothing to do with Jiujiu."
He said to Gu Shengyin, "Jiujiu, don’t be afraid. As for your brother, father will have a good talk with him."
Gu Shengyin nodded obediently.
She knew that if a timid girl encountered such a thing, she might be too afraid and ashamed to speak up.
But this approach would only increase the arrogance of people like Chang Fei and wouldn’t be of any use.
Under Chang Gensheng’s repeated concerned care, Gu Shengyin returned to her own room.
She didn’t see Chang Fei for quite a while afterward.
She asked Chang Gensheng and found out.
It turned out that Chang Fei had been recuperating for a while, and once he recovered, Chang Gensheng found an excuse to send him away.
