Damn it, I'm surrounded by insane Alphas!

Fu Yanshen strode over with Shi Ran by his side.

Shi Ran practically ran into the ward, only to find her mother perfectly fine, leaning against the headboard, even... holding Gu Chen's hand.

It looks more than just harmonious, it's practically buzzing!

Fu Yanshen, who entered next, glanced at the clasped hands and his expression darkened.

"Ouch!"

The mother was startled by the sudden intrusion of the two people, clutching her chest, "My heart can't take this... Ranran, why are you in such a panic?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Mom, please don't get upset."

Shi Ran quickly stepped forward, but her eyes involuntarily drifted to Gu Chen. "You... why did you suddenly come?"

Gu Chen slowly released his grip, stood up, and said calmly, "I saw you sunbathing this afternoon, and I thought I'd come and visit your aunt."

Shi Ran's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously avoided his gaze.

He did see that post on WeChat Moments after all.

Actually, he posted that message on WeChat Moments on purpose, just to see Gu Chen get angry.

But he regretted it just seconds after posting it, feeling incredibly childish, and quickly deleted it.

I didn't expect to be caught anyway.

But Gu Chen had no idea what Shi Ran was thinking. He thought that Shi Ran had restricted him to a group and that he didn't deserve to see Shi Ran's daily life.

The mother discreetly observed the subtle atmosphere between the two and thought to herself: Xiao Gu, I think you don't need to worry anymore, it's nothing.

But the next second, her mother's gaze fell on Fu Yanshen, whose face was clearly not good at the door. Sigh, but little Fu was worried again.

Son, how will you treat everyone fairly in the future?

This is just Fu and Gu, what about Cheng and Wen?

Shi Ran: Mom, you didn't know there was another Xiao Lu...

Fu Yanshen then stepped forward and stood subtly beside Shi Ran.

"Visiting is fine, but Auntie needs to rest, so let's not disturb her."

Shi Ran nodded immediately, afraid that the two of them would start arguing in front of her mother.

The three of them said goodbye to their mother and headed out the door. But before they left, their mother smiled and specifically told Gu Chen, "Little Gu, remember to come tomorrow too. We promised."

Gu Chen turned around, his lips and eyes full of smiles: "Okay, I'll definitely be there on time tomorrow."

Fu Yanshen's face instantly darkened.

Shi Ran was also dumbfounded.

No… Mom, I’m your real son, right? Why are you talking to me like I’m giving instructions to my own son?

Zhou Jin, who was standing at the door to greet the three, was stunned. How could it be... See you tomorrow?

It's only been a short time! What do you all mean by this?!

Am I just a tool? Why is everything progressing so fast the moment I appear?

Last time he rode the Ferris wheel with me, the two of us were inseparable as soon as we came off.

Now look what's happened! We only spent a few hours together, and now they're already so reluctant to part!

Oh no, how am I going to explain this to the boss?

The three walked out of the ward, with Zhou Jin following behind, his expression complex. He heard the eldest brother speak coldly, "Isn't it impolite of President Gu to come without a word?"

Gu Chen turned to the side and replied unhurriedly, "Whether it's polite or not depends on Auntie's opinion. I think... Auntie likes me quite a bit."

He turned his gaze to Shi Ran, who was trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible. "Shi Ran, what do you think?"

Suddenly, his scalp tingled.

Again!

You guys do your thing, why are you looking at me!

Just then, Professor Weber walked over from the other side, carrying a medical record folder.

Upon seeing them, the professor smiled and nodded.

Just as Shi Ran was about to introduce Professor Weber to Gu Chen, the professor spoke up on his own initiative.

"Mr. Gu?" Professor Weber extended his hand. "You've come to Paris in person?"

Shi Ran was taken aback: "Professor, you... know each other?"

Professor Weber laughed heartily and explained, "Just two days ago, our institute reached a cooperation agreement with Huanyu Group. A batch of key monitoring equipment was provided by Huanyu free of charge."

As he spoke, he nodded slightly to Gu Chen again, "Thank you so much. If we were to follow the normal procurement process, it would take at least several months."

He remembered something and looked at Shi Ran, "Speaking of which, your mother was able to receive treatment so quickly thanks to the arrival of this batch of equipment."

Shi Ran was completely stunned. Gu Chen had never mentioned any of this to her.

He asked instinctively, "Universe...providing it free of charge? How much would that cost?"

Wang Cheng stepped forward, emphasizing, "Based on the current calculations, it's approximately 23 million."

Zhou Jin couldn't help but roll her eyes. Fine, fine, the whole world knows that your CEO Gu has spent money, okay?

Shi Ran glanced at Gu Chen opposite her, surprised by the number of people...

And just two days ago, was Gu Chen... making amends for something?

Or is it really just a coincidence?

Gu Chen met Shi Ran's gaze and said softly, "Money isn't important, as long as I can help you."

Two days ago, after finding the address where Shi Ran's mother was receiving treatment, he immediately had someone contact the organization, stating that Huanyu could unconditionally assist with any needs.

To their surprise, the other party explained that they were in need of a crucial monitoring device and that there had been some issues with the customs approval process.

Gu Chen immediately granted special approval, demanding that the contract be signed as quickly as possible and that air freight be arranged.

He had already missed one opportunity and didn't want to miss any more chances to make up for it.

Shi Ran felt a little uncomfortable; this person had gone to such lengths to help her, and yet she had just rushed into the ward and suspected him.

Shi Ran hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and whispered, "Then, how about I don't take the year-end bonus?"

"Why not?" Gu Chen bent down to look at him, her voice softening considerably. "You've done a great job with Azure, Speed ​​Heart, and that charity project. You deserve it. Besides... the year-end bonus is for Assistant Shi. I want to help... Shi Ran."

Shi Ran subconsciously looked up and met Gu Chen's faint smile. "Thank you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Yanshen stepped between the two of them and looked coldly at Gu Chen.

Very good, they've even found another way.

Professor Weber was unaware of the subtle relationship between the group, remembering his main purpose for coming here today.

"By the way, based on the current situation, your mother will need to continue her treatment here for about another week. After that, she can be transferred back to China for the maintenance phase, as a familiar environment will be beneficial to her both physically and mentally."

I can go back to China!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up; this was indeed good news.

But it would take another week, which didn't bother him, since the others who came with him were all very busy.

He glanced at the two people in front of him and tentatively asked, "Since it's still another week... if you have things to do back home, you can go back first, it's really okay..."

Fu Yanshen replied almost immediately, "I'm fine, I can stay. Nothing else matters."

Zhou Jin immediately stepped forward, much like an NPC pretending to stop a streamer in a live broadcast: "But boss! Several meetings in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia can't be held without your presence..."

Fu Yanshen raised his hand and repeated, "I said, none of that matters."

Zhou Jin shook his head with a look of regret, "It seems that work still can't compare to Shi Ran's status in your heart."

Shi Ran: ?

Wang Cheng thought to himself, "Good heavens, even our opponents are putting on a show. We can't lose!"

He immediately adopted a worried expression, his tone heavy: "President Gu, our multi-billion dollar acquisition project with the German side is about to enter the most crucial closing negotiations next week, this…"

Gu Chen didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone even more indifferent than Fu Yanshen's: "It's only a billion or so, is it that important?"

Shi Ran: ? ? ?

What is this doing? What should I say? Should I post a link?

I'm here with an extra chapter!

Quick! Praise me!

By the way, the new cover looks good, doesn't it?
