C259 (1/2)
The heat in the room was on, and the old lady came out of the room in a thin sweater.
His complexion looked much better than before.
He raised his head and saw Gu Zhongrou just in time.
”Mom.”
Gu Zhongrou greeted him, then handed the thing in his hand over, his face a little ancient.
old steward poured some tea and asked her to sit.
Gu Zhongshen was right in front of her, but she had already dismissed the children, and they were quiet around her.
She took a sip of the tea and barely raised her gaze. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes narrowed and her voice dispersed into the mist with the scent of tea, ”An An is not here?”
”Second Sister, it's not like everyone doesn't know what you're here for, so of course An An came out.”
Gu Zhongyu sighed, ”I said this matter was predetermined a long time ago. Back then when you married Second Sister's husband, Dad was also opposed to it. Later on, when Heroic Assassin got this disease, he also thought of a way to make Heroic Assassin and An An's marriage … Who knew that An An was able to injure his body later on? ”
After so many things happened, Gu Zhongrou tightly clenched his fist.
She thought everything was fine. She thought that … Heroic heroes would not suffer from illness again!
If he had known this would happen, he would never have plotted this against Lu Qinan.
Lowering his head, Gu Zhongrou did not speak for a long time.
On the other side, Gu Zhongyu shook his head and walked far away. On the way up, he saw Lu Qinan walking down from the stairs, and lowered his voice, ”Don't go, let Xiao Si settle it for you.”
”Second Sister. Anyone who could save me would not watch him die, but at the same time, An An is my wife, the mother of two children. If something were to go wrong with my plan to save the hero, how can I explain myself to them? ”
”But …”
Gu Zhongrou cried. ”But there's no other way, I won't be able to find a match in a short period of time.”
”He was heroic yesterday …” It's a critical situation! ”
Lu Qinan froze and heard Gu Zhongrou cry.
”It was Father and Lu Qinan's mother who agreed to it. We have always been at ease, but now that it's really time to save them, how can we go back on our words!”
”Xiao Si, how can you disregard your own nephew for an outsider!”
Gu Zhongshen suddenly held the water cup tightly, his entire body enveloped in a layer of dense and cold Qi.
He slowly stood up and looked down at Gu Zhongrou from above. His black eyes were filled with a cold sternness, and even his voice had become completely emotionless, ”Second Sister, looks like I can't persuade you.”
”See the guests out.”
When the old steward heard him, he immediately came over, holding a box of gifts, and looking at Gu Zhongrou's stupefied expression, he felt helpless.
”Second Miss? ”Why don't you leave first?”
”Heh …” This Gu’s Yard, I have lived in a place that's almost fifty years, when will I be seen away as a guest … ”
Gu Zhongshen glanced at her, and the corner of his eyes fell on the tiny figure on the stairs.
Ye Zichen frowned.
”What are you doing down here?”
Lu Qinan looked forward somewhat helplessly, and a lot of sighs were hidden in her small heart, ”It was all because of me after all.”
She clenched her fists. She didn't think she was a b * tch, but she always felt bad about this sort of thing.
When Gu Zhongrou saw her, he immediately grabbed her tightly like a rat smelling blood.
”An An... Just treat it as Second Sister begging you. Can you save Heroic Assassin? ”No matter what he said, he was once a fiance. If it wasn't a coincidence, you would be husband and wife now!”
”Yesterday, the hospital issued a medical notice, saving the life with great difficulty. If we don't get the surgery now, he won't be able to hold on for long. ”
Lu Qinan's hand was held tightly, listening to her cry, even though she was a little hateful, her eyes were still red.
”Second Sister, it's not like I don't want to save him. You can't just let me risk my life, just in case both of them … ”
”I won't!”
Gu Zhongrou's eyes lit up, and randomly grabbed at her, ”Please have an operation on Lian Shuyan, the success rate will be higher. An An... Think of it as Second Sister begging you. ”
Perhaps knowing her personality, Gu Zhongrou suddenly knelt down.
Lu Qinan stood there in shock, and stammered in shock, ”Second Sister, this …”
”An An, promise me, or else I won't stand up!”
She bit her lips, feeling extremely anxious.
This sort of matter, this sort of matter where one had to risk their life to determine the probability, how could it be decided!
The two people stayed in that deadlock, but Gu Zhongshen walked back and grabbed him.
”Second Sister, leave a mark on everything.”
”Little Four, you …”
Gu Zhongshen immediately turned around, his eyes signalling to the old steward to bring her away.
With a stretch of his long arm, he picked up the pile that was still frozen in place, ”You're still standing there stunned, do you really want to use your life to exchange for it?”
Lu Qinan was brought all the way into the room.
With a burst of rustling sounds, Gu Zhongshen brought the medicine box over and pointed to the bed.
”Sit down.”
Lu Qinan replied with an ”Oh” and sat down obediently.
The air was filled with a strange atmosphere, and from her angle, she could only see the man's head.
Thick black hair covered her.
He froze for a long time. It seemed that the hair was mixed with a thin silver colour.
Lu Qinan was startled. Fourth Uncle had originally... He had white hair.
”Why are you standing there like an idiot even while pouncing at me? Don't you know how to dodge?”
If he were to step on the stairs, it would take him quite a bit of effort to apply the medicine.
Gu Zhongshen expressionlessly raised his head and looked at that tender white face. His face was startled, as if he couldn't recover from the earlier incident.
His rough fingers rested on her knee. The man's movements were particularly gentle as he slowly applied the ointment onto her and pushed her away.
A faint aroma of medicine lingered in the air.
”Fourth Uncle.”
