Looking at Gu Zhengshan lying on the bed with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, Gu Tingyan and Gu Xueyuan looked at each other and walked out of the ward. "Dad, you also need to work, and I have to go back to the army. What should I do with Grandpa?"

Gu Tingyan frowned, glanced at Gu Xueyuan and said, "Don't bother yourself with what's going on here, just go back to the army! Oh, and you're already over 30, it's not a good idea to not get married!"

Gu Xueyuan felt a little impatient when he heard his father say this, but he still suppressed his temper and said, "Dad, I'm not in a hurry to get married for now, so don't worry about it. How about you find someone too, so that I can rest assured!"

Gu Tingyan was still listening to Gu Xueyuan's words, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly became furious and slapped Gu Xueyuan on the back of the head.

"You bastard, how can you talk like that? Why do you have to meddle in my affairs? Get back here right now. And don't delay finding a partner any longer. If you don't get married before next summer, I'll find you in the army and break your legs."

Gu Xueyuan is a soldier. Although he is not as good as he was in the past two years, his skills are still good. He can easily dodge Gu Tingyan's slap. However, he knows the distress in his father's heart, so he didn't open his mouth and let the slap hit his head.

"Okay, you stay here and take care of grandpa! Dad, listen to me, find someone to take care of grandpa. You can't not go to work, right?"

After a few words of persuasion, Gu Xueyuan left the hospital and prepared to go back. Gu Tingyan walked into the ward again, looked at Gu Zhengshan lying on the bed, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Dad, have you ever regretted what you did over the years?"

Gu Tingyan knew that Gu Zhengshan could not answer him because his mouth was crooked and he could no longer speak. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva that had flowed to the corner of Gu Zhengshan's mouth.

"Back then, for the sake of the eldest brother, you allowed that playboy, the third brother, to marry Shen Qingrou from the Shen family. In the end, you even reported the Shen family. How has the Shen family wronged the Gu family? Don't you feel guilty for doing such unscrupulous things?"

Gu Tingyan looked at Gu Zhengshan who was looking at him with wide eyes and smiled.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm the only one in our family who's been excluded. You, my eldest brother, and my third brother are always thinking about how to scheme against others, but you never think about what the eldest child, whom you've spoiled, is like. He's a hopeless case. I've known since I was a child that you and my mother favored my eldest brother. Later, when my third brother was born, you loved him too, but you ignored me. I felt resentful when I was little, but there was nothing I could do. As parents, you don't want to see a son like me. Even if I behave well, it's useless. You still can't see my efforts."

Gu Tingyan stood up and poured a cup of tea. He took a sip slowly before continuing, "Because the eldest brother embezzled public funds, in order to fill the hole, you designed to let the third brother marry Shen Qingrou from the Shen family. This is nothing. No matter how you look at it, the Gu family has not lost out. But you turned around and reported that the Shen family still had hidden assets, which put the Shen family in a difficult situation. In the end, you and the third brother discussed divorcing Shen Qingrou. Do you really think that no one in the circle in Beijing knows about this? In fact, they know it very well. Even I, who was about to be promoted at the time, was not promoted because of this incident."

Gu Zhengshan, who was lying on the hospital bed, also had red eyes at this time. This son who used to be obedient in front of him, now dared to nag him in front of him. Although he was angry, he knew that the days to come would be even more difficult. The only one he could rely on now was this son. Just because he worked in the government, he would not do anything to him. The most important thing for him now was to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes, not wanting to reveal his emotions, but he didn't know that Gu Tingyan was staring at him, and seeing this situation, he sneered.

"Dad, last time you wanted to save the eldest son again, you even thought about sacrificing that girl Yuqi, but you calculated wrongly. Back then, you and my mom encouraged the third son to disown this girl. Why should he now recognize you, such heartless relatives, just because of a few words from you? You even wanted to sell Yuqi to let your eldest son get away with it? That's wishful thinking. I'm telling you now, it was me who reported the eldest son to prison this time, and I even brought the evidence with me."

Gu Tingyan's last words were undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back. Gu Zhengshan suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Tingyan hatefully. He wanted to get up and hit Gu Tingyan, but he couldn't move. He suffered hemiplegia after the stroke, and half of his body couldn't move, but he still wanted to struggle to get up.

Gu Tingyan felt extremely happy to see Gu Zhengshan like this. His temperament, which had been ignored and suppressed for decades, was finally vented today because his old father fell ill and could no longer move.

"Don't struggle. You're already paralyzed. You'll have to lie down for the rest of your life. But don't worry, I'll still take care of you. After all, you're my father!"

Ten days later, Gu Zhengshan was taken back to the small courtyard where he had lived before by Gu Tingyan. Although Gu Tingyan had suffered a lot over the years, he was in good health. He directly carried Gu Zhengshan into the room and put him on the bed.

At this time, Gu Zhengshan had a rosy complexion and looked in good health. The neighbors knew that Gu Zhengshan was the mayor's father, so these neighbors had taken good care of the old couple in the past few years. Now that they saw Gu Zhengshan coming back from the hospital, they all brought things to visit him, but because Gu Zhengshan had hemiplegia and could not speak, the neighbors just sat for a while and then went back.

After Gu Tingyan sent the neighbors away, he began to cook for Gu Zhengshan. It was a very simple lunch, a bowl of white rice porridge.

"Okay, come and eat! We won't have the good life we ​​had before. I still need to work, so I'll be lucky enough to give you a meal. I'll be back every day, and you only drink some porridge all day and don't do any activity."

Gu Zhengshan has been staying in the hospital recently, so Gu Tingyan has always served him with delicious food and drinks. Now when he heard Gu Tingyan say this, he immediately stared at Gu Tingyan, and his eyes seemed to say: You only give me a bowl of porridge a day, do you want to starve your father to death?

It’s not that Gu Tingyan didn’t see Gu Zhengshan’s eyes, but he just chose not to see it. This made Gu Zhengshan stare in vain, and finally leaned on the bed helplessly. He took the rice porridge with the hand that could still move and drank it in three or two mouthfuls.
