Chapter 293 - 271: Owe Him a Favor
Since it was a natural delivery, Jiajia was discharged from the hospital after a week. He Ye came to pick her up on the day she went home. Watching them together, Gu Qimiao couldn’t help but feel they were a perfect match, while she herself felt like a third wheel sitting in the car.Probably because of her presence, the two of them didn’t talk much, and the atmosphere was awkward.
Jiajia was still staying in the house that Gu Moming had bought earlier. Now that no one was living there, it was better to let a friend use it.
Seeing He Ye seem reluctant to leave after sending her off, Gu Qimiao wasn’t sure if her guess was right, but she thought He Ye was a good person. Since he had been around Shen Yanchen for so many years, he couldn’t be that bad. Gu Qimiao started to think that maybe she could matchmake the two of them.
"Brother He, I need to go see my brother later. Can I trouble you to take care of Jiajia for now?"
He Ye nodded immediately, "No problem, you go ahead. I’ve got this covered."
Gu Qimiao noticed his straightforward answer, smiled at Jiajia, said goodbye to the child and Jiajia, and then went downstairs to catch a ride to see Mo Ming.
Inside the house, Jiajia felt uncomfortable with that subtle smile from Gu Qimiao just now. They had never been in the same room before, and it felt awkward. Plus, she probably looked horrible right now.
Pale face with some pimples, and her hair hadn’t been washed for days. "Um, Brother He, you should go about your business. I’ll be fine alone."
"It’s okay. Women during confinement shouldn’t be left alone. There are many things you can’t do. Someone has to look after you. I’ve taken leave and will stay here to help. I also hired a monthly nurse, who will be here this afternoon."
"Ah?" Hearing that he had arranged everything so well, Jiajia felt a bit guilty. She thought she indeed needed someone to take care of her and also a monthly nurse. After a moment of silence, she said, "Um... how much is the monthly nurse? I’ll give you the money later."
He Ye frowned, not liking her distant attitude, "We’re friends. Don’t worry about such small matters."
Jiajia pursed her lips, gave a dry laugh, and thought, a little money is nothing to him. If she insisted, it would make her seem petty. At worst, she owed him a favor and could repay it in the future.
He Ye had known her family situation for some time, so he didn’t ask about her parents. He just thought she had it tough alone. If he hadn’t done that thing that night, her life wouldn’t be like this, right?
Although she had broken up with her ex-boyfriend, with her looks, she could easily find a good man to marry. He didn’t expect her to choose to have the child. Now, seeing the adorable son on the bed, he was grateful for her decision.
At the same time, he felt guilty for not having the courage to admit his mistake.
Mo Ming had already been discharged and was staying at the Gu home, managing Gu Corporation’s affairs. So Gu Qimiao took a ride directly to the Gu Corporation building.
After the last shareholders’ meeting, everyone knew she was the daughter of the Gu family, so she wasn’t stopped. She took the elevator straight up.
She pushed open the office door and saw the man in the wheelchair, "Brother Mo Ming."
The man looked up, frowned at her without showing any emotion.
Gu Qimiao was used to his attitude. She stepped into the room and closed the door, "Are you busy?"
He lazily glanced at her, returned his gaze to the document, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
