At the hospital, before Gu Ningyue could find Gu Heng’s ward, she saw a few nurses hurriedly rushing towards a room: "Quick, the patient in 409 is in critical condition, quickly get Director Zhang over here!"
Suddenly, the pendant on Gu Ningyue’s neck beca hot again.
But this ti, the heat didn’t last long before it subsided.
After hesitating for a mont, Gu Ningyue casually stopped a doctor: "Hello, the patient in 409..."
Before she finished her sentence, the doctor already had a strange look on his face: "He’s got so strange illness, and despite checking for a long ti, we still don’t know the cause. He’s muddle-headed every day and starts babbling nonsense at midnight. Young lady, don’t be curious, that old man is quite frightening!"
Gu Ningyue pointed to her head, "Is it sothing wrong up here?"
"No," the doctor denied: "He’s been here for a year, and we haven’t found any major problems. During the day, the old man is perfectly normal, but at night sotis, he’s like possessed! He almost stabbed a visiting relative before, but luckily they weren’t hurt too badly, or else his whole family wouldn’t know what hit them!"
Gu Ningyue muttered softly: "Staying here for a year, that must cost a fortune. The family must be well-off, right?"
The doctor, seemingly with nothing to do, looked at Gu Ningyue and said: "Doesn’t seem like it; he has no children and the hospital bills are covered by the pension and insurance he saved up. At this rate, who knows how long it’ll last!"
Gu Ningyue said after hearing that: "It is indeed quite difficult."
Just as she finished speaking, soone ca to call the doctor for rounds.
Gu Ningyue turned toward Gu Heng’s ward entrance, and after an unknown wait, finally saw Gu Zheng and Gu Wanwan walking towards her.
As soon as he saw her, Gu Zheng’s face darkened.
Like soone who’d seen a debtor, not a single friendly expression.
"Your Aunt Li has woken up," Gu Zheng got straight to the point: "She said when she almost drowned in the pool, she saw your good friend Shen Hanyin at the swimming complex. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Gu Ningyue frowned: "Don’t just bla everything on ; even if Han Yin and Li Yulan went to the sa swimming complex, so what? That swimming complex is run by Li Yulan’s old fla! Wouldn’t it be reasonable for so love affair to happen?"
She knew a bit about that swimming complex.
When Li Yulan was younger, she had more than just Gu Zheng.
Who knows, with Gu Heng being such a disappointnt now, and Li Yulan not getting everything she wants in the Gu Family, might she not find another path while she’s still not too old!
"You!" Gu Zheng glanced at the passing doctors and nurses, trying hard to suppress his anger: "Do you hear what you’re saying? Do you have any bit of ladylike deanor! Even if she’s not your biological mom, you should at least call her Aunt! What are you talking about!"
Gu Ningyue laughed instead of getting angry, like hearing a hilarious joke: "My mother wasn’t respected there, why should I respect her? Weren’t you saying over the phone that I arranged all this? How about we call the police!"
Gu Zheng never imagined that the daughter he raised for so many years would speak to him like this.
Gu Wanwan chid in: "Sister, this matter isn’t settled yet, don’t get agitated! Dad’s getting old and can’t handle your anger..."
Gu Ningyue sneered: "Oh? Really? How co you didn’t show such understanding when you were with Ye Mingchen? If you didn’t want Dad to be angry, why did you do such disgraceful things with Ye Mingchen? And now you’re pretending to be empathetic with ? Are you pretending to be your mom?"
"Enough!" Gu Zheng finally couldn’t hold it anymore: "Don’t argue in front of your brother’s ward! Go and see your brother first!"
Pushing open the door, Gu Zheng was the first to step inside.
Gu Heng hadn’t woken up yet, with his hand still hooked up to a blood transfusion.
A nearby doctor noticed them co in and spoke softly: "He’s out of imdiate danger, but try not to talk to him too much."
Gu Zheng asked: "Doctor, when will my son wake up?"
The doctor glanced at the ti: "The anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet; it’ll probably be a few more hours. Just have soone here to watch over him!"
After the doctor left, Gu Wanwan said: "I’ll stay here then! I’ll call when Xiao Heng wakes up. Dad, you go ho with sister first!"
Gu Wanwan pulled out a chair and sat by Gu Heng’s bed.
Though she looked a bit pale, her spirits seed fine.
Gu Zheng thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "If necessary, call Mingchen over; since you’re engaged now, there’s nothing inconvenient about it!"
Gu Wanwan responded and looked at Gu Ningyue with so pride.
As if challenging her, see, in the end, I still won!
Gu Ningyue’s expression was calm, seeming unconcerned about it.
Laugh all you want! It won’t be long before you’ll be crying.
On the hospital bed, Gu Heng lay there lifelessly, not the lively person he usually was.
Finally, it’s quiet now, Gu Ningyue thought as she tilted her head; it wouldn’t be bad if things stayed this quiet.
On the way back ho, Gu Zheng didn’t say a word.
Gu Ningyue knew that he had many words waiting for her.
However, she wasn’t afraid.
Even if it was about Li Yulan, she didn’t do it, so she had nothing to fear.
As for Gu Heng, she definitely wasn’t involved. This matter had nothing to do with her.
Back at the villa, Gu Zheng looked at Gu Ningyue and said: "Co to my study!"
The butler saw the master’s stern face, not sure what happened, then saw the two disappear through the door with a ’bang’.
Soon after, intense argunts could be heard from inside.
The butler sighed, sure enough, it hadn’t been long before it started again!
"I said, this has nothing to do with . I was out shopping and having lunch this morning, the shop owner can vouch for it!" Gu Ningyue’s eyes were cold, sending chills down people’s spines.
Seated behind the desk, Gu Zheng looked at this Gu Ningyue and said: "For sothing like this, did you need to do it yourself? Ning Yue, after all these years, why can’t you tolerate Xiao Heng?"
So long, Gu Ningyue had changed so much she seed unlike his daughter.
Strange and terrifying, like she had beco soone else.
"I can’t tolerate him? If I couldn’t, I could’ve ended him at the club anyti!" Gu Ningyue was dismissive of this accusation: "I’ve put up with people for so long, and now being with Ling Tianyou, I suddenly can’t put up with it, does that make any sense?"
Accepting good tis yet still competing with Gu Heng, even the original would not have done such a thing!
Gu Zheng was silent for a mont, and when he spoke again, his voice cooled: "It’s because of Ling Tianyou that your behavior is becoming increasingly reckless!"
