Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 284 The Boomerang Stabs Himself

Lin Qingping: ...

Lin Qingping now understands what a boomerang is.

Recalling all the things she had done and said since her rebirth, all the care she had given him while he was injured, all the things she had done, all the things she had said, now came back to haunt her.

For example, she would now have to repay him for everything she had done to an injured patient before—how he used to use the toilet, how he changed his clothes, how he ate.

Is this what they call the cycle of cause and effect?

But why, Gu Juncheng? Even if Chen Xia doesn't want you anymore, you can't possibly consider me, your ex-wife, again, can you?

Speaking of cause and effect, the cause and effect will soon come to pass.

She's been on an IV drip; she needs to use the restroom...

She can go hungry and not eat, and she can hold back from showering and changing clothes, but this is the one thing she can't hold back anymore...

She stole a glance at Gu Juncheng, and finally, her urgent need overcame everything else. "Could I do you a favor?"

"Hmm?" He leaned down to listen, as if to say: Aren't I just sitting here causing you trouble?

"Could you please call Xiaotian's mother over for me?" She had no choice but to trouble Xiaotian's mother.

Gu Juncheng immediately understood what she meant. He drew the curtain, bent down to pick up the things she needed from under the bed, and prepared to pull back the covers.

"No!" Even if he were still the same Gu Juncheng as before, she would still feel embarrassed if she relieved herself in front of him, let alone now that he was her ex-husband.

“Are you very familiar with Xiaotian’s mother? Why do you have to call her that? She only needs to take care of one person. Aren’t you afraid of troubling her?” he said.

Lin Qingping was speechless.

When people are sick or injured, they may become more delicate, and she suddenly feels very wronged.

Look, four people are injured. He Xin and Gong Jing have family members who care for them and came from the capital overnight to pick them up. Although Zhong Xiaoxiao is currently being taken care of by Xiao Tian's mother, her family has also been notified and they will arrive soon.

She was all there was; she had nothing else.

The entire meaning of her rebirth was for one person; when that person left her life, she had nothing left...

Her parents don't care about her, and now they've lost contact with her. Her only close relative is her second sister, who is currently studying abroad. Then there's Gu Youlian, with whom she has a good relationship, but Gu Youlian is her older sister!

She also has good friends, Wu Tianjiao and Mei Li, but why would she call them here to take care of her?

She remembered why, in her previous life, even though she knew her parents and brother were sucking her blood, she still did it willingly—it was because she was a human being…

She was so lonely, she longed for family. Even though she knew they only wanted her money, she still handed it over, hoping that her money could buy her some affection, someone to be with her when she needed it most and was most lonely. And at that time, she truly believed they would…

When sadness hits, tears just start to flow.

She buried her face in the pillow and silently wiped away her tears.

Gu Juncheng's voice rang out again, "Just don't treat me like your ex-husband. Even if you hire someone to take care of you, just treat me as an employee and pay me a salary."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingping immediately recalled how she had asked Chen Xia to take care of him, and she became furious. "If I were to ask someone for help, it would be a woman! Would I ask you?"

"Then just pretend I'm a woman!"

Lin Qingping: ...

Is this even possible?

Lin Qingping's gaze involuntarily swept down to below his belt.

Gu Juncheng frowned when he saw her look. "What are you doing?"

Lin Qingping asked him, "Do you know of any martial arts manuals that can help you master unparalleled skills?"

"What?" Gu Juncheng was also impressed by her. She had seemed quite sad just now, but suddenly she brought up martial arts manuals and peerless skills.

"The Sunflower Manual." Lin Qingping blinked.

Gu Juncheng: ...

"If you practice the Sunflower Manual, I might consider asking you to," Lin Qingping said. "I might even consider becoming your sworn sister."

Lin Qingping's thoughts suddenly jumped to a new level: Wow! Her ex-husband became her sister, and a real sister at that! Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like this!

Gu Juncheng's eyes blazed with anger. "Lin Qingping, you're quite knowledgeable! Were you always like this?"

Lin Qingping: ...

Okay, I'll take that as a compliment!

"You can still hold it in?" he hissed. "Don't hold it in, it's bad for your health. I won't watch it."

Lin Qingping hesitated, but ultimately couldn't resist the physiological metabolic needs. Oh well, she comforted herself, since she had forced him like this before, so they were even!

After resolving the major issue, I felt much more relaxed and free of worries, and I gradually became a little dazed.

Gu Juncheng went to the end of the corridor to empty the urine basin and clean it. When she came back, she looked listless.

"Do you want something to eat? I'll make you a cup of milk powder?" Gu Juncheng asked her.

Lin Qingping shook her head. Perhaps because she was sick, the thought of milk powder made her feel a fishy smell and she had no appetite at all.

"Chicken soup? Or porridge? I'll go buy some?" Gu Juncheng glanced at her medicine; there was still plenty, enough for him to make the round trip.

Lin Qingping didn't want to eat either, but she didn't feel nauseous like she did when the topic of milk powder came up, so she kept quiet.

"Okay, I'll go buy it and be right back." After he finished speaking, he pulled back the curtain and asked the patient and their family in the next bed to look after her.

Hearing him leave, Lin Qingping forced herself to open her eyes and glance at the medicine. Seeing that there was still a lot left, she felt relieved and let herself rest.

Not long after she closed her eyes, she became dizzy and seemed to see herself in her past life.

At that time, her business encountered setbacks. In order to get back on track, she worked day and night, choosing a new shop, sourcing building materials herself, and decorating the premises herself. After a lot of hard work, she finally opened for business. She was the chef herself, and in order to save costs, she would go to the wholesale market to buy vegetables from farmers before dawn every day, buying cheap vegetables...

After working non-stop for two months, she fell ill.

The doctor wanted her to be hospitalized, but she refused. She said if she was hospitalized, her newly opened restaurant would be ruined. Besides, hospitalization would cost so much money! Her restaurant had only just started to take off!

She only took the medicine and went home to take it.

But even while she was lying at home, her body was so weak that she had difficulty even getting up to pour a glass of water.

Just then, her brother and mother returned.

Seeing that she was at home, the first thing she asked for was money.

She couldn't remember why she needed the money, but she remembered clearly that she gave the money to her brother.

She was sick and couldn't bear to be hospitalized, so she gave the money to her brother.

When she got up to get the money, her vision went black and she fell to the ground. It was then that her mother realized she was ill.

I helped her to bed, poured her a glass of hot water, fed her her medicine, and even went to the kitchen to cook her two poached eggs.

At that moment, as she drank the hot egg drop soup, her heart warmed as well. No matter what, money is just an external thing; she could earn it back. But like just now, when she fainted on the ground, if her mother and brother hadn't helped her up, she might have died at home without anyone knowing. Besides, her mother was there to make her soup...
