Chapter 23: Double Plastic Surgery?
"""
Originally, when Gu Qixiao accidentally answered the phone, he almost lost his mind upon hearing the other person’s words. It wasn’t out of pity for the other party, but because he felt Song Xuan was being far too unreasonable.
"It’s really not as comfortable as thinking about my ex-wife I haven’t seen in three years," Gu Qixiao thought to himself, suddenly recalling Ji Yu for some reason.
He didn’t pay much attention to this budding thought in his mind. Considering that there hadn’t been many women in his life recently, he naturally regarded it as a normal occurrence.
However, after hearing the news about Song Xuan’s failed surgery, it was impossible for Gu Qixiao to remain entirely indifferent.
Still, he absolutely wouldn’t go upstairs to comfort Song Xuan. To avoid being too entangled with her, he had been trying every possible way to distance himself.
Not long after, Gu Qixiao, who had directly hung up on Song Xuan, dialed Assistant Li again. "Wrap up the situation over there and come down quickly."
"Remember, don’t let her know I came here. If she asks, just say I’ve been busy with company projects."
For the first time ever, Gu Qixiao used the excuse of being busy with work to deceive someone—despite his busy schedule being true—because he was more unwilling than ever to face Song Xuan.
Song Xuan openly admired him, but he didn’t have any romantic feelings for her, let alone now, when she had grown even more unhinged.
Following Gu Qixiao’s instructions, Assistant Li dealt with everything as quickly as possible. Despite being forced to administer a sedative injection to calm the hysterical Song Xuan, no one present—including Assistant Li—escaped her deranged revenge spree.
