Jiang Ranran gently touched Gu Tingchen's cheek and called out in a trembling voice: "Gu Tingchen, wake up, don't scare me."

But Gu Tingchen still closed his eyes and lay there motionless.

Seeing Jiang Ranran like this, Meng Xianchen couldn't help but wipe away his tears secretly, and so did Old Man Meng.

"Gu Tingchen, wake up..." Jiang Ranran shook Gu Tingchen gently. Although she knew clearly in her heart that Gu Tingchen would not open his eyes, she still hoped for a miracle to happen.

"We still have a child, and you still have me. How can you go back on your word and abandon me like this?" Jiang Ranran stroked Gu Tingchen's forehead and found that his face was cold and pale. Jiang Ranran didn't even dare to imagine how much suffering and pain Gu Tingchen had endured when he was injured.

She prostrated herself on Gu Tingchen's shoulder, tears streaming down her face.

After a long time, Jiang Ranran gradually calmed down. She wiped her tears, stood up, looked at Meng Xianchen and asked, "I saw that Gu Tingchen was cleaned up very well. Thank you for taking care of him."

"This is what I should do. Gu Tingchen has saved me many times. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have..." Meng Xianchen said, choking up again.

But in order not to arouse Jiang Ranran's sadness, he still forced himself to hold it back.

Jiang Ranran turned her head and looked at Gu Tingchen, and said firmly: "Since I'm here, from now on, I will take care of him. I want to be with him."

Meng Xianchen originally wanted to let Jiang Ranran rest and take care of her himself, but after hearing what Jiang Ranran said, he had no choice but to nod and agree.

"If you need anything, just tell me and I will do my best to satisfy you." Meng Xianchen looked at Jiang Ranran sincerely with a complicated look, not only of heartache, but also of apology.

Jiang Ranran nodded bitterly and no longer looked at Meng Xianchen. At this moment, there was only Gu Tingchen in her eyes.

Holding Gu Tingchen's hands tightly with both hands, Jiang Ranran's warm tears flowed on the back of his hands, but Gu Tingchen did not react at all. Jiang Ranran looked at his pale and haggard appearance and felt her heart bleeding.

Jiang Ranran stayed at the Meng family for a week, until a week later, Jiang Ranran decided to take Gu Tingchen back to China.

But unexpectedly, this proposal was rejected by Mr. Meng.

"It's not safe for you to go back now. Meng Zhen is still looking for us everywhere. As soon as you show up with Gu Tingchen, they will be stopped immediately. Either you go back by yourself, or you stay here with him." Old Master Meng's attitude was a bit tough.

Jiang Ranran was a little puzzled and frowned as she said, "I hope you can understand me. I must take Gu Tingchen back. I have made an appointment with a well-known doctor in the country to consult him. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope for Gu Tingchen."

"You don't understand what I mean. Didn't I find a good doctor for him here? The problem is, if you show up with Gu Tingchen, let alone returning to the country to see a doctor, you will be arrested by Meng Zhen before you even set foot on domestic soil." Old Master Meng said with a stern face. It seemed that the problem was very serious.

Jiang Ranran was even more confused. "But we have no grudge against Meng Zhen."

"That's because you don't know her true identity." Mr. Meng immediately retorted.

"Then what is her real identity?" Jiang Ranran frowned. Until now, she still didn't know what kind of grudges there were between Meng Xianchen, Gu Tingchen and Meng Zhen.

Mr. Meng hesitated for a moment, a trace of helplessness flashing across his eyes, "She is Lusa, Lusa is Meng Zhen, and Meng Zhen is Lusa."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ranran's eyes immediately widened and her jaw almost dropped in shock.

"You mean... is this true? Isn't Lusa dead?" Jiang Ranran felt dizzy and felt like she was dreaming. She couldn't believe what Mr. Meng said.

Old Master Meng sighed, his eyes drifting past Jiang Ranran into the distance, and he said lightly: "She's not dead, I was too soft-hearted."

"What? It was you back then..." Jiang Ranran simply couldn't accept such a large amount of information at once.

So it was Mr. Meng who wanted to silence Rosa, but Rosa didn't die, and now it's Meng Zhen's turn?

What does this have to do with anything? What is this all about?

Old Master Meng nodded without hesitation and admitted, "That's right. She committed many evil deeds and crimes. She even wanted to kill Meng Xianchen. In a fit of rage, I decided to kill her. But she knelt at my feet and begged for mercy. I spared her life for the sake of our relationship as master and disciple."

"I'm old now, no longer as decisive as I was in my youth, yet she persuaded me to spare her life. As long as she promises to stop doing evil from now on, I'll spread the word that she's dead."

"But I didn't expect that in just a short time, she would make a comeback and sneak into the Meng family. She first controlled me, and then hid in the Meng family under the identity of Meng Zhen, deceiving Meng Xianchen for a long time."

"You all don't know, Meng Zhen is the name I gave Lusa at the beginning, that's when I accepted her as my apprentice."

When talking about these past events, Mr. Meng's face was filled with emotion, and his thoughts seemed to drift away.

Perhaps, when he first accepted Lusa as his apprentice, the feelings between them were sincere, but later, in the face of interests, Lusa's ambition grew bigger and bigger, and Master Meng always suppressed Lusa's ambition. Over time, the two became enemies in secret.

Hearing this, Jiang Ranran nodded and said, "I understand. In that case, I think it's better for me to stay here. If I return rashly, I might implicate the children." Jiang Ranran said after thinking for a while.

Before leaving, Jiang Ranran had handed all the children over to the care of Zhao Xiaocui and Zhang Ruixue.

As long as Cen Juan doesn't do anything naughty, they are all safe, but if she is targeted by Meng Zhen, the safety of the children will be hard to say.

Seeing that Jiang Ranran had changed her mind, Mr. Meng nodded with great satisfaction and smiled at Jiang Ranran, saying, "In my impression, Miss Jiang, you have always been sensible and considerate of the overall situation. Now that I think about it, I was right about you."

Mr. Meng has always admired Jiang Ranran.

Jiang Ranran smiled slightly bitterly, "Grandpa, you are too kind."

"If you hadn't already married Gu Tingchen, I would really want you to be my daughter-in-law. But now I can see that you have very deep feelings for Gu Tingchen, so I won't make things difficult for you." Old Master Meng said with regret.

Jiang Ranran nodded, "Thank you for your kindness. Meng Xianchen has always been my good friend and also Gu Tingchen's good friend. This will never change."
