"What?! You're my cousin's fiancée?!"
Gu Family's uncle and aunt also looked surprised.
It's common knowledge in the wealthy circles that Gu Jinhuai has never been interested in women, so how come he suddenly has a fiancée?
Chu Yu maintained her smile but didn't say anything more.
She turned and walked into the ward, her smile fading as she regained her composure.
Chu Yu had been thinking about this the whole way here.
How can the simultaneous crisis facing both the Chu Group and Gu Group be resolved to avoid a sharp drop in stock prices and even greater losses?
After thinking for a long time, Chu Yu still had no clue.
Just now, Gu Family's uncle's question, "What is your relationship with Gu Jinhuai?" reminded Chu Yu.
Negative news has a significant impact on stock prices.
Therefore, once news of the Chu Group's construction materials scandal and the Gu Group's leader's car accident and coma spreads, it will definitely affect stock price fluctuations after the stock market opens tomorrow.
However, if an even more positive piece of news were to emerge at this time, the negative impact of these two events would be quickly minimized.
For example, the daughter of the Chu Group and the head of the Gu Group got engaged through marriage.
The Chu Group and Gu Group are the two most powerful groups in the Capital.
If they were to actually get married, it's easy to imagine the huge sensation it would cause.
Chapter 66
Upon entering the ward, the world around me immediately became quiet.
Gu Jinhuai, still unconscious, lay quietly on the hospital bed with his eyes closed.
His assistant was watching over him carefully. Upon seeing Chu Yu, the assistant quickly stood up, " Miss Chu."
A barely perceptible hint of nervousness flashed in Chu Yu's eyes as she looked at Gu Jinhuai.
How is he now?
The assistant sighed and shook his head. "The attending physician and professors have all examined him. They said it was just a temporary fainting spell caused by a slight head injury, nothing serious, but they don't know why he hasn't woken up yet."
Chu Yu approached the hospital bed and looked down at Gu Jinhuai.
The electrocardiogram monitor next to the hospital bed was still operating steadily, and it was clear that Gu Jinhuai's heart rate was normal.
Chu Yu gradually relaxed. She bent down and tucked the blanket covering Gu Jinhuai in.
"Take good care of your President Gu."
After giving his instructions, Chu Yu stood up again, preparing to leave.
But before he could take a step, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Chu Yu's expression froze for a moment, then she subconsciously turned around, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"You... you're awake?"
Looking at Gu Jinhuai, who had already opened his eyes on the hospital bed, Chu Yu couldn't hide her joy.
Seeing this, the assistant excitedly approached the bedside, " President Gu, you're finally awake!"
Gu Jinhuai slowly sat up from the hospital bed, grabbed Chu Yu's wrist, and glanced at the assistant beside him.
The assistant immediately understood, and quickly turned and left the ward without a word, closing the door behind him, leaving Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu some alone time.
The three uncles of the Gu Family, who had been discussing the distribution of assets outside the ward, immediately questioned the assistant when he suddenly emerged from the room, "Why did you come out? Didn't we tell you to stay inside and take care of Gu Jinhuai?"
The assistant glanced at them expressionlessly. " President Gu is awake and talking to Miss Chu."
"What? He's already awake!" Gu Family Gu's exclamation rang out immediately.
The three of them originally stayed at the door to discuss the distribution of Gu Jinhuai's estate if he really didn't wake up.
Before they could reach any conclusions, Gu Jinhuai woke up.
Gu Family reacted the fastest, quickly greeting his assistant with a smile, "Okay, we understand."
However, Gu Family's aunt and cousin did not look too happy.
After all, they had been coveting Gu Jinhuai's fortune for a long time.
Inside the ward.
Gu Jinhuai was still holding Chu Yu's hand.
Chu Yu lowered his head and coughed softly, "Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"
When questioned, Chu Yu tried to quietly pull her hand away, but no matter how hard she tried, Gu Jinhuai on the other side refused to let go.
At this moment, Gu Jinhuai lacked his usual powerful aura in a suit and tie. His blue striped hospital gown hung loosely on his body, his face was pale and weak, and his thin lips were slightly dry.
Unable to break free from Gu Jinhuai's grasp, Chu Yu could only offer a helpless expression, "What?"
Gu Jinhuai slightly raised the corners of his mouth and forcefully pulled Chu Yu back, "Stay with me for a while."
Seeing the pitiful, pleading look on the man's face, Chu Yu couldn't bring herself to refuse him.
Chu Yu swallowed hard and looked away. "Then I'll stay for ten minutes, just ten minutes."
Gu Jinhuai, who was always cold and aloof to outsiders, instantly broke into a smile, like a child who had received candy.
"Good."
While the two were enjoying a warm and sweet time together in the hospital room, Chu Chen, burdened with a mission, was suffering immensely.
Inside a villa halfway up a mountain.
Huang Yinian was sitting in the living room, his face dark, facing off against Chu Chen.
The two of them had been sitting there staring at each other for the past ten minutes.
The servants around them were so intimidated by the atmosphere that they didn't utter a sound, only silently pouring water and adding tea for the two of them.
"Cough--"
After finishing his second cup of tea, Huang Yinian finally broke the silence.
"Young Master Chu Chen's sudden late-night visit must mean he has something important to say, right? No need to keep me in suspense, just tell me directly."
Chu Chen pressed down hard on his other trembling hand to calm himself down.
"It's nothing important, I just heard that Director Huang seems to know a lot about chess, so I thought I'd come and learn from you."
