"What?" Gu Xiuyu leaned closer to look.
The phone screen lit up in front of him, but he acted as if he couldn't see it, leaning towards Ye Ziyu.
Before his little plan could materialize, Ye Ziyu put her phone away. "Mr. Gu, perhaps you should take a good look at your own phone."
"Maybe other diners at the restaurant took photos and posted them online. Given our statuses, it's only normal for us to be trending," Gu Xiuyu said with a serious expression.
Despite his apparent indifference, Ye Ziyu cared deeply. Whether online or in reality, Gu Xiuyu was like stubborn plaster, impossible to shake off.
"Does Mr. Gu not plan to have them taken down?"
"You don't like us trending, Ziyu?"
She would be crazy to like it!
Ye Ziyu had quickly scanned it, and there were already many unpleasant comments. She couldn't entirely blame the netizens who didn't know the full story, as the photos captured from any angle made their actions appear exceptionally intimate.
Gu Xiuyu took his phone out of his pocket and clicked on the topic of Ye Ziyu's alleged infidelity. Most of the comments were abusive towards Ye Ziyu.
"Femme fatale," "cheater," or "vixen"—all negative labels were attached to Ye Ziyu.
"Don't pay attention to these comments on the trending list. I'll have people take care of it right away," Gu Xiuyu said, standing up from the sofa with his phone in hand.
His words and actions were like pronouncements, with no intention of consulting Ye Ziyu.
He stood aside, making a call, while Ye Ziyu went to the bedside.
She wondered when he would wake up.
As she thought this, Shen Lin pushed the door open and walked in.
Gu Xiuyu, in the middle of his call, merely glanced at Shen Lin before walking out with his phone.
"Lock the door!" Ye Ziyu said to Shen Lin by the door.
Once everything was secured, Shen Lin hurried to Ye Ziyu's side.
"Madam, this is the test result," Shen Lin said, taking the test result from his pocket.
He didn't understand the detected components, but the accompanying values were all negative, giving him a bad feeling.
"Are you sure this is the result for this bottle of medicine?"
"Yes, I personally poured it out and had it tested. There shouldn't be any issues."
After hearing Shen Lin's reply, Ye Ziyu grabbed the test report and rushed out to find Gu Xiuyu.
His call had just ended, and he turned to see Ye Ziyu approaching rapidly.
"I've already resolved everything. Those online comments will disappear soon. Ziyu, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone or anything affect your mood," Gu Xiuyu said, moving towards Ye Ziyu.
Instead of praise, she felt a forceful shove.
Ye Ziyu's paper report was slammed heavily onto his face. "What exactly did you give me today?!"
Taking the paper from her, Gu Xiuyu's face instantly turned pale.
"Your heart never intended to let Mingjue go," Ye Ziyu roared. "I'm asking you one last time, give me the antidote!"
With the evidence laid bare, there was no point in refusing any longer. Gu Xiuyu looked at Shen Lin emerging from the ward and then addressed Ye Ziyu. "I can give you the real antidote, but you must divorce Di Mingjue and marry me. Otherwise, I won't give you the antidote."
"Gu Xiuyu, you bastard!" Ye Ziyu hit his chest.
Shen Lin, fearing he might harm Ye Ziyu, stepped forward immediately. "Madam, let's call the police!"
If he refused to give the antidote now, once the police arrived and investigated everything, wouldn't he have to provide it?
However, Ye Ziyu didn't think so.
Since Gu Xiuyu dared to threaten her so openly, he must have made arrangements behind the scenes. Moreover, with just their words, how could they prove he had poisoned anyone?
