At this time, the waiter started to serve the dishes. Jin Mingzhu was still in shock and had not yet recovered. She did not hear the waiter asking her to move aside. As she turned around, the boiling hot soup suddenly poured onto her hands, and her fair skin instantly became red and swollen.

Mingzhu only felt a burning pain in her hand and screamed in shock. Tears instantly filled her eyes and she was about to cry.

Gu Huaijin, who was standing beside him, was startled and grabbed Mingzhu's wrist. Seeing how seriously injured she was, he felt distressed and furious. He shouted, "Get some cold water!"

The incident happened too suddenly, and no one reacted. When everyone came to their senses, they saw Gu Huaijin holding Jin Mingzhu's wrist and dipping it into the water. The scalding soup burned blisters on the back of her hand, and it also turned red.

Jin Mingzhu sobbed softly, tears falling like pearls from a broken string. One by one, they dripped onto Gu Huaijin's hands and also hit his heart hard. Her eyes gradually turned red, revealing a cruel aura.

The waiter next to him felt that he had made a big mistake and kept apologizing, his tone full of fear and anxiety. Gu Huaijin just felt that it was noisy and signaled Chen Chuan to take the man away and punish him severely.

The girl in her arms raised her tearful eyes and looked at her. She choked and said, "I was distracted and didn't hear your reminder. It's okay, you don't have to be afraid."

Mingzhu looked at Gu Huaijin and said earnestly, "I was wrong. Don't punish her."

Gu Huaijin just found it ridiculous. Why didn't she see how badly she was injured? Instead, she was worried about being punished and pleaded for others.

Even so, he still spoke. "Get out, I won't punish you, go find the manager and accept the punishment yourself."

The waiter thanked me repeatedly and left quietly.

When the pain subsided, Mingzhu was shocked to find that her hand was held by Gu Huaijin, so she used brute force to try to break free.

Gu Huaijin's hands, which had turned white from being soaked in water, held her wrists tighter and ordered, "Don't move. Be quiet."

Everyone around her was concerned about her injury and gathered around her. Mingzhu felt embarrassed and kicked Gu Huaijin fiercely. The man felt pain but did not let go.

Wei Wentao warned earnestly: "Jin Mingzhu, why don't you be more careful. It's all thanks to Mr. Gu being by your side."

Jin Mingzhu could only respond repeatedly, feeling aggrieved: "If you hadn't forced me to come, I wouldn't have suffered this misfortune."

After soaking in cold water for a while, he found that the injury was still serious. Gu Huaijin decided to take Mingzhu to the hospital for treatment and arranged for the head of Gu Group to answer questions for the students.

There was no reason for everyone to refuse, so everyone happily accepted this arrangement.

When they got to the underground garage, Mingzhu shook off the man's hand and said unhappily, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for taking care of me just now. I can go to the hospital and take care of it myself. I won't bother you anymore."

Gu Huaijin just felt angry, and his tone became colder, "Look at your current condition, how can you go to the hospital?"

Chen Chuan also advised, "Ms. Mingzhu, the wound on your hand is quite serious. You need to treat it quickly, otherwise it will leave a scar. It will be bad."

"Boss Gu has just arranged for me to contact a doctor. I can go over there and take care of it right away."

Mingzhu looked at the large blisters on her hands and was afraid of leaving scars on them. She obeyed the arrangement and got into Gu Huaijin's car.

Mingzhu got on the car and sat close to one side of the window, clearly trying to avoid Gu Huaijin. Gu Huaijin cooperated and sat on the other side when he got on the car.

Yuelai Hotel is built on a mountain with a beautiful and tranquil scenery, but the infrastructure is still under construction and the mountain road is rugged.

The driver made a sharp turn and pressed her against the car window. Her burned hands could not avoid hitting the car door. Mingzhu cried out in unbearable pain, with tears as big as beans rolling down her cheeks.

Gu Huaijin quickly pulled her into his arms, supported her injured hand, and carefully checked it and found that it was a little broken. Furious, he shouted, "How do you drive?"

The driver apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, the mountain road is too difficult to drive. Let me drive slower."

Chen Chuan looked sideways and saw this scene, knowing that he was distressed. "Boss Gu, we will be in the city in more than ten minutes, and the road will be much smoother."

Jin Mingzhu felt that this was inappropriate and stood up in his arms, but Gu Huaijin shouted at her, "How dare you move!"

The person in his arms stopped getting up, and leaned on his knees again, burying her little face in his arms, sobbing softly at first, which gradually turned into indistinct whimpering.

Gu Huaijin supported her injured hand, brushed aside her messy hair with his slender fingers, and gently patted her back to comfort her.

They were so close that they could hear each other's breathing. The steady and clear cedar scent from Gu Huaijin lingered around her, and Jin Mingzhu gradually calmed down.

The Maybach sped along the city and soon arrived at the Jingshi Hospital. Gu's Group was the major shareholder of this hospital. Chen Chuan had already informed them, and the doctors in the general surgery department were ready for battle.

Gu Huaijin carried the person out of the car and strode into the hospital, followed closely by Chen Chuan.

Doctor "Mr. Gu" gestured to put the person on the bed.

Gu Huaijin put the person down and spoke with a somewhat anxious tone. "It was scalded by hot soup. I treated it with cold water immediately. There are large blisters on the back of my hand. I just broke some of them. I think they will get inflamed."

"Okay, Mr. Gu. Let me take a look first." Jin Mingzhu stretched out her injured hand, and the doctor carefully examined the injury. Then he spoke,

"The extent of the burns on this lady is quite serious, but fortunately she was treated in time. The blisters on the back of her hand are a bit large and broken. It is recommended to prick the blisters and then apply medicine. Later, you can use some scar removal products, so that there will be no scars on your hands."

Gu Huaijin said calmly, "Well, let's pick it up."

The pain from the blister was still fresh in Mingzhu's mind. The thought of it happening again made her feel overwhelmed. She asked in a trembling voice, "Doctor, is there any other treatment?"

"If it is not treated in time, it may cause wound infection. At present, this is the most suitable solution."

Mingzhu quickly hid her injured hand behind her back, her eyes, red from crying, filled with tears again, "No, I don't want it."

The doctor looked at Gu Huaijin and asked for his opinion.

Gu Huaijin nodded to signal the doctor to get ready. Ignoring the person in his arms' struggle, he held the person in his arms, held his hands and handed him over to the doctor.

The nurse came up to assist, and the doctor used a needle to prick the blisters one by one after disinfection. The piercing pain made Mingzhu cry in despair. Gu Huaijin pressed Mingzhu's head into his arms, and his shirt was soaked with hot tears. The man's eyebrows were still cold and deep, but a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

The doctor popped the blister and carefully applied medicine. The delicate little hands were wrapped in layers of gauze like pig's trotters. Mingzhu had already stopped crying and calmed down. Seeing that the treatment was done, she quickly broke away from Gu Huaijin and thanked the doctor.

Gu Huaijin laughed dumbly, shook his head and sighed, "This little fox is very good at crossing the river and destroying the bridge."

Mingzhu used her uninjured left hand to pick up the phone, unlocked the password, and handed it to Assistant Chen. "Assistant Chen, thank you for helping me pay the medical expenses."

Chen Chuan declined repeatedly, "Ms. Mingzhu, this is Gu's business, you don't have to worry about the medical expenses."

Gu Huaijin said coldly, "Miss Jin and I don't have to calculate it so clearly."

Seeing this, Mingzhu silently put the phone back into her pocket. "Thank you very much, Third Brother."

Chen Chuan, who was observing the situation from the side, said, "Ms. Mingzhu, it's getting late. Let's take you back to Beijing University."

Mingzhu was about to refuse, but she caught a glimpse of a man with a cold expression but a warning in his eyes. He said softly, "Yeah."

It was already late at night, and the car drove towards Beijing University. Mingzhu stared out the window at the twinkling lights of the city; the scene that was commonplace at other times seemed particularly warm in this quiet night.

Gu Huaijin looked intently at the profile of the girl next to him, her face as clear and smooth as porcelain, her features as picturesque as a painting.

The slightly cold autumn wind blew her hair, which flowed into his arms like a tide, one after another, as if teasing him. His breathing quickened, and his thoughts were in a mess.

Mingzhu closed the car window and looked back at the man. "Thank you for taking care of me today, Third Brother Gu. I will think that you are doing this for my brother's sake. I will ask my eldest brother to take me to your house to thank you someday."

Gu Huaijin's face was slightly cold, and he spoke calmly. "Miss Jin, do you think that all I did was just to say thank you?"

Mingzhu was worried and responded, "In the future, if the Gu Group needs the Jin family, our Jin family will definitely help."

Gu Huaijin glanced at her and laughed briefly, "Miss Jin, I did all this just because I like you."

Mingzhu was shocked and said seriously, "We have only met two or three times, how can we say that we like each other?"

"What if I say, love at first sight?"

"I already have a boyfriend and we are in a very good relationship. I only treat you as a brother. Please stop joking like this, Third Brother." Mingzhu responded firmly.

"Are you sure that you and your lover can live together? He doesn't know that you are the daughter of the Jin family, right? Your elder brother and parents don't even know of his existence, right? You are not a good match. Will the Jin family agree to let their precious daughter marry him?" The man's face was still cold.

"How can an ant on the ground compare to a phoenix in the sky?"

As if her pain point had been touched, Mingzhu said angrily, "This is my business, and has nothing to do with you. Please don't ask me about my business, Third Brother Gu. When Xu Yang and I are married, I will definitely send a wedding invitation to Gu's company and invite Third Brother Gu to drink a glass of wedding wine with us."

"Okay, I'll wait and see." The man was slightly angry and squeezed out a few words coldly.

They had already arrived at the gate of Peking University. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Chuan interrupted and said, "Ms. Mingzhu, this is the scar removal medicine that Mr. Gu asked the doctor to get for you. There are instructions on how to use it."

"Thank you, Third Brother, for sending me back. I hope we don't have to meet again." He said as he tried to open the car door.

Chen Chuan quickly got out of the car to help. Gu Huaijin looked at him and Chen Chuan understood. "Ms. Mingzhu, this place is still some distance from your dormitory, and these medicines are quite heavy. Let me take you in."

Mingzhu didn't want to stay any longer, "Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Chen."

I met Qi Qiao at the dormitory door, and he was also surprised to see this scene.

Chen Chuan handed the medicine to Qi Qiao and left.

When they got back to the dormitory, Qi Qiao couldn't wait to ask. "Mingzhu, weren't you fine when you went out this afternoon? What happened? Your hands are so swollen?" His eyes were full of worry.

Mingzhu's nose was sore when she heard the caring words from the people around her. She told Qi Qiao everything that happened today.

"What happened to that waiter? He was so careless. Will it leave a scar?"

"Turns out the flowers were sent by Gu Huaijin. I was just talking nonsense, but it turned out to be the right thing to do. How could he be so shameless? He pursued you even though he knew you had a boyfriend." Qi Qiao scolded with concern and indignation.

"I've already told him about Xu Yang. I hope he'll give up when he sees difficulty." Mingzhu spoke silently, but there was uncertainty in her tone.
