regardless of

Dr. Xiong's private clinic is located in a secluded place on the outskirts of Beidu, adjacent to the wealthy district.

Gu Chou's old house is in this area, but since Gu Yayun and Qiu Qingping divorced, the house has been vacant most of the time.

When Xiao Zhang drove by, he took a look and said, "Mr. Gu held a business banquet at home last week, and it was quite lively."

What kind of excitement is this.Gu Qiu complained in his heart.

Xiao Zhang looked up and glanced at the rearview mirror, just in time to see Gu Chou's disdainful expression, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu also said last week that Xiao Chou's birthday is coming, and he is going to ask you if you want to have a birthday party."

Gu Chou blurted out: "Forget it, if it's done, it must be handled by Bonnie. She is already very busy, so why bother?"

"Are you going to push Mr. Gu again?"

"Isn't this saving her trouble?"

Xiao Zhang smiled and said nothing.

"Damn!" Li Pei, who was paralyzed on the back seat, jumped up suddenly, "Is 413 coming so soon?"

Thinking of something, he suddenly moved closer to Gu Qiu's ear: "Does Xi You know your birthday?"

Originally, it was okay to say this generously, but Li Pei opened his mouth under his breath, which made Gu Chou inexplicably guilty.

He glared at Li Pei, then took out his phone and communicated on WeChat.

9: [Where did he find out. 】

Li Pei vibrated with a "beep".

9: [Can't you fucking turn on mute? 】

There was another "beep".

"..."

Li Pei: 【It's on, it's on, this time it's on. 】

Li Pei: [Fuck, I said, here is the reason why I don’t want to have a birthday party. I want to spend it alone with my boyfriend? ? ? 】

Li Pei: [You don't want a brother anymore? ? ? 】

Li Pei: 【】

Li Pei: 【】

Gu Chou looked at the messages that popped up on the screen one after another, his eyes were tired, and he thought that it would be nice if Xi You could talk so much.

He replied to Li Pei: [You only need to have your WeChat red envelope in place. 】

Li Pei: […]

Li Pei: [? ? ? 】

Li Pei: [You forget your friends when you see sex, you are ruthless, you, love, love, brain! 】

Li Pei's fingers crackled on the screen.

Gu Chou was worried that he would pierce the screen.

Out of the little bit of self-blame in his heart for not being able to spend his birthday with his good brother, Gu Chou casually sent a big red envelope to him.

Li Pei turned his head in shock when he saw the large transfer that popped up suddenly.

Gu Chou raised his chin towards him.

Li Pei happily accepted the red envelope, and sent a series of exclamation points and "Thank you boss" emoticons, and said: [Long live the love brain! ! ! 】

Gu Chou: "..."

After a while, the car arrived at Dr. Xiong's clinic.Xiao Zhang found an open space to park the car, Gu Chou and Li Pei got out of the car first, before entering the clinic, Gu Chou patted Li Pei.

Li Pei: "What?"

Gu Chou said, "Don't tell Xi You about your birthday."

Li Pei asked: "Tell him what's wrong? Don't you want to live with him?"

Gu Qiu: "Whether you tell me or not has something to do with whether you want to be together?"

Li Pei: "..."

Li Peixin said, you are a love dog, you are right in everything you say!

Dr. Xiong usually has two or four consultations in the clinic, and Saturday is his rest day.Except for Gu Qiu, he didn't receive other patients here today.

After Gu Qiu entered, he registered at the reception desk, and the head nurse came over and took him to Dr. Xiong's office.

Dr. Xiong was introduced by Gu Yayun through a client many years ago. He has excellent professional skills. He is an attending physician in a tertiary hospital in Beidu and has the title of the first surgeon in heart surgery.

Back then, Gu Chou performed the surgery himself, and it was very successful.

However, once the heart is damaged congenitally or later, even if it is cured to the best effect through surgery, there is still an unpredictable risk of recurrence.

The functional characteristics can only be closely observed through regular review to prevent chronic or sudden lesions.

From the first few days after the operation, once a month for Gu Qiu, to every three months, and now every six months, Dr. Xiong has been following up personally.

After entering the office, Dr. Xiong first asked him about his physical condition, and Gu Chou answered truthfully.

"Didn't tell your mother?" Dr. Xiong asked after hearing him talk about a symptom some time ago.

"No." Gu Chou said, "If I had told you, I would have been arrested and brought to you the next day."

Dr. Xiong said, "Your mother did nothing wrong. Your body is your own, and you have to take it seriously."

Gu Chou didn't resist, he just said "Got it".Seeing his appearance, Dr. Xiong didn't seem to be perfunctory. It seemed that he knew how to cherish his life.

Dr. Xiong put on the stethoscope again and listened to his heartbeat.

Gu Chou wanted to see something from Dr. Xiong's expression, but Dr. Xiong's professionalism was always on the line, and he never expressed his joy or worry about the patient's physical condition, so naturally he couldn't see anything.

After the preliminary consultation, Dr. Xiong arranged for a nurse to take him for an examination, and Li Pei followed around like an attendant.

Gu Qiu first finished the examination that required an empty stomach.

After the coronary angiography, he looked very manic between his brows.

Li Pei asked him, "Is it hard?"

"No." Due to the anesthesia on Gu Qiu's right arm, in order to avoid serious swelling, he could only clenched his fist, probably because he felt that this appearance was too unhandsome, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Afterwards the nurse gave him a breakfast of milk, eggs and buns.

Li Pei accompanied him to rest briefly in the lounge.

Gu Chou took a bite of the bun dryly, and frowned: "If I knew it earlier, I would have brought the sandwich made by Brother Xi."

From the tone to the words, these words are very common, but the sour smell of love is faintly rippling in the air.

Li Pei asked, "Are you showing off?"

Gu Chou: "Hmm."

Li Pei rolled his eyes, seeing Young Master Gu swallowing the food in his mouth with difficulty, and was about to throw the bun in his hand into the "underworld", he quickly raised his hand to stop him: "You don't know how many tubes of blood you just drew, no How about eating?"

Gu Chou frowned even more, staring at the bun in his hand with disgust.

"Gu Qiu, right?" At this time, a nurse came over, "Just now my colleague brought you the wrong one. Doctor Xiong specially arranged for someone to bring it for you this morning, saying that you are a picky eater."

Gu Chou took it and glanced at it. There were sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes, egg cakes and soy milk inside.

His frowning eyebrows relaxed a little: "Thanks."

"Thank you, Dr. Xiong, for a while. Eat it while it's still hot. There's still a lot of checkups to do."

Li Pei snatched the bun from Gu Chou's hand: "Don't waste it, it's mine."

Gu Chou: "..."

After eating, Gu Chou took a series of examinations such as electrocardiogram, ultrasound, and MRI. After everything was done, the nurse prepared some snacks and fruits, and asked him and Li Pei to wait for the results in the lounge.

Many of these examinations may take two or three days to get the results in public hospitals, but Gu Chou is a senior VIP here, and because he specially opened a clinic for him today, not only the various procedures go quickly, but the results don't have to wait too long .

Two hours later, the nurse came to inform him that he could go to Dr. Xiong's office.

Li Pei asked, "Can I come together?"

The nurse said, "Okay."

After Li Pei and Gu Chou went in together, Dr. Xiong, who was sitting behind the desk, looked up at them from the computer screen, and pointed to the sofa opposite: "Sit."

With a normal expression, he picked up a pile of sheets and films at hand, flipped through them, and said, "No big problem, only mild valvular regurgitation, the chest tightness and palpitation you mentioned a while ago may be related to this. "

Gu Chou didn't react at all, but Li Pei was very nervous when he heard this unfamiliar term: "What is valvular regurgitation? Is it mild or serious? Is it going to have a big impact on the body? Can it be cured?"

"Little classmate, don't worry." Dr. Xiong couldn't help laughing seeing him so anxious, "Valvular regurgitation in a small or even moderate amount does not have much impact on life."

Just saying that, Li Pei's confusion and worry will not be reduced, so after a slight pause, Dr. Xiong still gave him a brief introduction to science.

"The most important function of the heart in the human body is to pump blood. You must know this, right? The pumping function of the heart is completed in the process of contraction and relaxation. The valve is the door of the heart. Either it's not fully closed, or it's congested, and reflux is a condition where the door doesn't close properly and blood flows in and out."

Li Pei was stunned to hear it, but he probably understood it.It sounded serious to him, but when Gu Chou was here, he definitely couldn't act more panicked than the client, otherwise his escort work would be too unprofessional.

So he stabilized his emotions and asked as calmly as possible: "It's really just a small problem, right? Are you sure there will be nothing wrong?"

Dr. Xiong said with a "hmm": "It's a small problem, it doesn't affect your normal life. But Xiao Qiu," he turned his gaze to Gu Qiu, "You stopped taking the medicine for a long time, I'm going to prescribe you some medicine again, you have to take it That said, the quick-acting medicine prescribed to you before is only for emergencies, and it is not a cure for the symptoms, so it cannot be taken for a long time."

Li Pei: "Is this not serious? Are you going to re-prescribe the medicine?"

Dr. Xiong: "If you have symptoms, you can't just ignore them. Taking medicine is to stabilize and suppress them."

Only then did Gu Chou speak out: "What if it is stable and cannot be suppressed?"

"Nothing will happen in general." Dr. Xiong remained calm, "Even if the worst happens, there will still be surgical intervention."

Li Pei: "Do you still need surgery?"

Dr. Xiong: "I said, the worst case."

Dr. Xiong said to Gu Qiu: "Starting today, I will have a check-up in March. If you feel unwell, you should come for a check-up at any time. You can't just keep silent, you know?"

Gu Chou didn't answer, just said: "Doctor Xiong, I believe in your professionalism, you probably didn't make the situation simple on purpose."

Dr. Xiong still had that gentle smile on his face, and he gently pushed the pile of large and small examination reports by his hand: "You can take these forms if you need them, any cardiologist in any hospital can understand them, You might as well ask a doctor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Pei stood up abruptly and was about to go to get it.

Gu Chou pressed Li Pei's shoulder: "No need."

Dr. Xiong reminded: "The old saying is not often said, pay attention to diet, maintain a happy mood, avoid strenuous exercise, and take medication regularly. Don't forget these points."

Gu Chou has already stood up, ready to go out.

Dr. Xiong finally said: "I have already prescribed the medicine for you, and I will bring it to you when Xiaolin takes it."

Gu Chou said "thank you", opened the door and left, Li Pei followed.

The two waited at the front desk for a while, and the nurse Xiao Lin came over with the medicine.

There are a lot of medicines, and a large plastic bag is full.

Xiao Lin explained to him the dosage and timing of the medication one by one, and finally said: "There is a list printed by Dr. Xiong in it, and there are simple lists on it. If you forget what I said, just follow the list. "

Gu Chou took it, thanked him and left the clinic with Li Pei.

Xiao Zhang returned to the company after sending them over in the morning, and made several phone calls in the afternoon to ask about the progress and results of the inspection.

Gu Chou just called Xiao Zhang and told him that it was almost over.Xiao Zhang said that Mr. Gu just finished the meeting, and he wanted to come over to pick him up and see him by the way.

After Gu Chou hung up the phone, he didn't stay outside the clinic, and walked towards the main road with Li Pei.

Li Pei glanced at the medicine bag in Gu Chou's hand, and asked, "When will Xiyou's tutoring end? He's going to be at home. If you bring such a bag of medicine home, can you escape his eyes?"

Gu Chou had obviously thought about this problem a long time ago, he just took out his phone to check the time, and said, "He finishes at four o'clock, soon."

Then he said: "When Uncle Zhang takes us to the city center, you can go shopping with me."

Li Pei asked: "Didn't Auntie also come later? Leave her alone?"

Gu Chou: "She's the boss, so she still needs someone else to take care of her?"

Li Pei was speechless, but when he thought of shopping, he bared his teeth and looked at Gu Chou earnestly. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Chou saw through it and said, "Choose whatever you want."

Li Pei instantly felt that for a friend like Gu Chou, he should make ten copies of him.

He courteously took the medicine bag away from Gu Qiu's hand: "Boss, I'll get it."

Young Master Gu is used to being served, so he enjoys this kind of service with peace of mind.

After walking a short distance, the familiar Bentley Bentayga appeared in sight.

The driver of the car quickly saw them, turned around immediately, and the car stopped in front of them.

The windows of the front and rear seats rolled down simultaneously.

Gu Yayun was sitting in the back seat.

Li Pei shouted "Hello, Auntie".

Gu Yayun nodded.

Xiao Zhang raised his voice: "Come up, come up."

Li Pei tactfully went to the co-pilot.Gu Chou got into the back seat and sat beside Gu Yayun.

The car restarted and hit the road.

Gu Yayun glanced at the pile of medicines that Li Pei held in her arms, and asked Gu Qiu, "What did the doctor say?"

Gu Chou took out his phone and lowered his head to play, he said casually, "Didn't Dr. Xiong tell you?"

Gu Yayun was dumbfounded for a moment.

Gu Qiu said: "Judging from the relationship between the two of you, you can receive a call from him as soon as I leave his office."

He seemed to twitch the corner of his mouth inadvertently: "You can only know more about my illness than me, don't you?"

Gu Yayun was silent for a while, without denying it, she just said: "Don't think too much, believe what the doctor says, and listen to what the doctor says. Recently, I will ask Amber to tell you to take medicine. Mom will go back to accompany you more often when she is free."

"Need not."

"Why not?" After Gu Yayun asked, she asked back clearly, "Is it because of the new classmate named Xi You?"

Gu Chou paused with his fingertips sliding the phone screen, glanced at Xiao Zhang, and understood.

His tone was a bit cold: "Did you back tune him?"

Sitting in the co-pilot, Li Pei, who had been tuned on the back, screamed inwardly.

Gu Yayun uttered the words that parents all over the world said: "Mom is doing it for your own good. You have gotten too close to him recently."

"Do you think my world is the same as your sloppy shopping mall?" Gu Chou said coldly, "Mr. Gu, he comes from a clean, ordinary family. Don't waste that extra effort."

"Mom never thought it was superfluous to pass this pass for you."

"Then have you ever thought that your son is old enough to see people with his heart and eyes?"

Gu Yayun is generally an elegant and gentle person, but once her authority as a controller is challenged, her sharp posture is also fully revealed.

Gu Chou's words made her frown slightly, and her tone raised a bit: "Gu Chou, don't forget that there is a Gu family with tens of billions of assets behind you, and all of this will be yours in the future. ..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Chou interrupted: "You said this too early, your son may not have that fate."

As soon as these words came out, the air pressure in the already tense car became even lower.

Li Pei, who had never wanted to get involved in this mother-child quarrel, had a very bad expression when he heard Gu Chou's words. He turned his head and said with emotion in his voice: "Gu Chou, Auntie doesn't like to hear these words. I don’t like to listen to it. Anyway, don’t talk about your body.”

Gu Chou licked his back molars, and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.

A smile without a smile, passing by for a moment.He glanced ahead and said, "Uncle Zhang, stop the car."

Xiao Zhang: "Xiao Qiu..."

Gu Chou: "I said stop."

Xiao Zhang looked embarrassed, Gu Yayun said: "Stop for him."

Xiao Zhang pulled over and stopped.

Gu Qiu put his hand on the car door and was about to get off, Gu Yayun called him: "Xiao Qiu."

"Mom didn't think there was anything at first, and I didn't plan to tell you that it's really not a big deal to make good friends." Gu Yayun resumed her seemingly peaceful posture of a high-ranking person who controlled everything, "But look at you With this appearance, you are about to open your heart to others. But Xiao Qiu, if you have made this heart, your classmate may not be so frank."

Gu Chou turned his face: "What do you mean?"

"You always know he's short of money?"

Gu Chou naturally knew.

"Why did he lack money and tell you?"

Why did Gu Yayun throw these questions step by step, Gu Chou is very clear, he challenged her authority today, and she wants to regain the shattered control from him.

And their identities, experiences, and methods created their information unequal, and she could easily stabilize her position of controlling everything.

Gu Chou wanted to slam the door and leave, but Gu Yayun handled him well.

Indeed, he wanted to know everything about Xi You.

"Tell me." Gu Qiu said, "However, to say the least is honesty, and there is no reason for you to define it."

"Even if you know about it." Gu Yayun said slowly, "Then he works so hard to earn money but his family doesn't support him, do you know the real reason?"

"Mr. Gu, it's not your style to speak so slowly."

Gu Yayun really doesn't like twists and turns, she smiled: "It's really not my style. Since he is within the safe value range, this friend, you can make friends if you want."

After she finished speaking, she looked ahead and had no desire to speak again.

Gu Qiu got out of the car and slammed the door hard with a "bang".

Li Pei then also got off from the co-pilot.

As soon as the two got off, the car quickly started and drove away.

"My God," Li Pei said with a long breath, "every time I watch you and your mother play a game of words, I don't dare to show my anger. It's just too terrible."

"But it seems that Xi You has passed the test with her." Li Pei said again, "It's what your mother said about Xi You's family. What is it? Are you curious? I've been tickled by my aunt. knew."

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen of the phone in Gu Chou's hand suddenly lit up.

There is an incoming call.

Gu Qiu picked it up and looked at it.

It's worrying.
