Chapter 465: Chapter 465

"If you can’t wait, you can start eating." Gu Lili supported her waist with one hand, slowly stepping into the room, her eyes catching sight of the wine on the table. "Can I have some wine too?"

"We’ve prepared red wine for you, you can have a little."

Gu Lili moved forward and sat down, Gu Xichen poured her half a glass of red wine, "To celebrate your discharge, cheers, everyone."

All four clinked glasses, set their cups down, and Gu Lili said to Gu Xia, "Xiao Xia, bring me my phone."

Gu Xia went upstairs to fetch the phone and soon came back down, handing the phone over, "Here you go, sis."

Gu Lili turned on the screen and saw that Ma Shijie had called many times, and then asked, "Xiao Xia, did Director Ma come looking for me at home?"

"Yes, I told him you were not feeling well and in the hospital, so he left."

Gu Lili thought about it and returned the call, placing her phone on the table on speaker mode.

The call was quickly answered.

"Director Ma, was there something you needed me for earlier?"

"Miss Gu, I’m relieved to have finally gotten through to you. I heard you were not feeling well. How are you now?"

"Much better." Gu Lili asked as she ate, "What did you want?"

"Well, it’s , Mrs. Lin’s relative seemed to have encountered something unclean a few days ago and wanted you to take a look."

"Why didn’t she ask her daughter?" Gu Lili’s face showed no change, "Her daughter is clearly capable of handling it but they still come to me, thinking that I’m easy to order around? Director Ma, if they come to you for such matters again, just convey my message directly. I don’t want to be involved with the Lin Family’s issues any longer. I’m too busy to deal with these strangers’ problems."

Ma Shijie became stiff on the other end of the line, "Miss Gu, that’s not very nice to say, is it?"

"Just relay my message as I said. Don’t come to me for anything related to the Lin Family again. If there’s another time, I’ll block your number as well. Did you hear me clearly?"

Ma Shijie hastily replied, "Since Miss Gu has said so, I’ll keep that in mind."

"Good, that’s all, I’m eating. Hanging up now."

Ma Shijie ended the call, puzzled. She had attended the Lin Family grandson’s full month celebration, so why was she so adamant this time?

He redialed the Lin Family’s landline and Mrs. Lin quickly picked up.

"Is this Mrs. Lin? I’m Xiao Ma from the A City Public Security Bureau. You mentioned that your relative might have encountered something unclean. Has the issue been resolved?"

Mrs. Lin replied, "No, nothing yet. Did you contact Gu Lili?"

"I’ve just been able to contact Miss Gu; she was in the hospital because she wasn’t feeling well."

"So when will she come over?" Mrs. Lin pressed.

"Miss Gu asked me to tell you that if it’s something your daughter can handle, please don’t bother her. She also said not to come to her with the Lin Family issues, as she’s busy and doesn’t have time for other people’s affairs."

"What?!" Mrs. Lin’s voice involuntarily rose, "Did Miss Gu say that?"

Ma Shijie swallowed hard, "Yes, she did."

"Has she eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard to talk ? Does she think she’s so remarkable?"

Ma Shijie chuckled uneasily, "Well, I’ve delivered the message, so I’ll hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Ma Shijie picked up his tea cup leisurely and said, "People are , help them 99 times, but if you fail just once, all 99 good deeds are forgotten, and their faces change instantly. Such is human nature."
