Lu Qinan nodded, understanding the situation. He gave Bao Bao some instructions and even got someone to bring him a bunch of flowers, beautiful and gorgeous tulips.
”Grandpa, grandma!”
baby walked in, head poking around, holding the flowers. Knowing that her grandfather was sleeping, she intentionally lowered her voice, moving her butt here and there, moving to the side of the old lady's chair and hugging her. ”Eat so much, I miss you.”
”Why do you still have such beautiful flowers? Grandma is getting old …” ”The contrast is ugly.”
”Nope, grandma is as beautiful as a flower!”
Her childish words, whether from her heart or to coax others, made the old lady giggle.
Then, he looked at Lu Qinan and Bao Bao who were seated at the side, and frowned: Why is there only you three? Little Four did not come. ”
”Dad was busy, An An brought us here. Grandmother, when will grandpa recover? ”
Bao Bao interrupted her and walked over to her side.
Unexpectedly, the change in topic was not successful. The old lady looked at Lu Qinan, wanting to say something, but hesitated, ”No matter how busy Little Four is, he should at least come over to take a look. How long has it been since he last came?”
Besides, she had something she wanted to discuss with him.
Lu Qinan pouted, and said somewhat helplessly, ”Fourth Uncle is on a business trip, and will not be able to return for a while. ”Mom, if you're bored, you can leave the two of them to accompany you.”
”Of course not, I still have to go to school.”
The old lady knew that Gu Zhongshen and her were not related by blood, but she did not know if she would get a divorce or remarry.
He could only helplessly look at the sickbed, ”It's great that you guys can come here occasionally. The old man definitely misses his grandson and granddaughter.” When Little San'er comes back, remember to tell her to bring Yue Yue along too. ”
”As for you, An An, you can just live a good life with Little Four. Our Gu family is bustling with people now, Bao Bao is so good at eating … ”This time, even if he really can't wake up, there's no more regrets …”
The old man had an old-fashioned way of thinking. He was thinking that as long as he could pass on his generation to his grandson, ever since Bao Bao had gotten better, he would smile a lot more.
Everyone thought he would be able to hold on for at least another ten years. However, his heart, which had only been replenished a few years ago, was in trouble again.
The tip of Lu Qinan's nose started to ache unknowingly, he nodded, ”Yes mother, we're all doing pretty well.”
Yes, they were fine, no matter what, they could not reveal the matter of Fourth Uncle's disappearance.
The old lady had stood behind the old man all her life. She was also a lady from a famous family when she was young, and she was a very traditional woman.
The old man's protection had allowed her to live her entire life without many hardships. Even the tiny bumps she'd had when she was young had disappeared completely under the effects of the passage of time.
Her heart was exceptionally soft. Without the presence of the old man, she would not be able to bear the blows.
Knocking sounded from outside the ward, ”Old lady, Second Miss and Young Master Ying Wu have arrived too.”
Bao Bao frowned, and moved closer to the old lady.
On the other side, Gu Zhongrou walked in. Beside him was Gu Yingwu who was said to have been lying in bed for a long time.
Lu Qinan looked carefully, his face was still pale white, and his breathing was weak as he walked, as though he had not fully recovered?
”Mom …” An An, you guys are here too, what a coincidence. ”
”What coincidence! An An and the rest are just about to leave. Alright, you two can go back with mom. ”
The old lady pushed away the meatball with an unfriendly expression and ordered them to leave.
Lu Qinan frowned suspiciously, wasn't it fine just now?
”Wait!”
Gu Zhongrou, however, did not allow it. Her face was still adorned with exquisite makeup, and the black mink overcoat on her body made her seem elegant and noble. She casually raised her eyebrows, and her smile was gorgeous.
The little guy's face was filled with impatience, but he knew that the atmosphere was bad, and directly grabbed Lu Qinan's hand to bring him out.
”Since he promised, we shall wait for him to wake up. Who's going to call the shots for you now? ”
The old lady waved her out.
The corner of Gu Zhongrou's eyes twitched, and he grabbed Gu Yingwu, his expression suddenly turning sinister, ”Mom! Look at Heroic Warrior's current appearance, it's already fortunate that he can still walk, if no one can save him, then he won't be able to survive past next year! ”
”But you know An An's body. In that car accident three years ago, she suffered from a serious illness and her health was already very bad. If she were to save Heroic Wu again, she might even end up losing her life …”
The old woman also knew about this in the morning. She had discussed this with the lordmaster and couldn't make a decision.
But how could Gu Zhongrou be willing to listen to the explanation? He snorted coldly, ”But didn't father allow them to be engaged all those years ago just to save the heroic! It has already dragged on for almost 30 years, and the incidence of heroic illness is slow, but in the end, it still comes to this day. If she doesn't save someone, then what was the point of getting engaged back then! ”
Gu Yingwu pulled at her and coughed to stop her from continuing.
”Forget it, mom. Even if she's willing to save me, I'm afraid I won't be able to …”
”Nonsense!”
Gu Zhongrou had already made her decision long ago, she was definitely not going to let go. She had already done far too many things that went against her heart in order to save her son, and now that the old man was still unconscious on the sickbed, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
He didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Gu Zhongrou finally clenched his fists and turned around, ”If mother doesn't want to say it, I'll ask her myself!”
Lu Qinan was right outside the door, listening to these words, his mind was in an even greater mess.
What did the Old Master mean by letting her marry Gu Yingwu, so she could save him?
What could she do to save him? How could he save them?
