Chapter 298: The Fake Heiress (7)

Gu Yao brought up a bowl with some noodles in it. Gu's mother ate half of the noodles, which surprised Gu Yao. Usually, his mother was exhausted after waking up and had no appetite at all. She couldn't eat anything. But today she ate a lot, and after so long, she hadn't turned into a demon.

Wen Wan stayed for a while before leaving, and made an agreement with Gu Yao to keep this a secret from now on. The medicine needs to be used three times to achieve its maximum effect, but she didn't know when she would have to find an opportunity for the next use.

Wen Wan went home.

After that, she would go to Gu Qian's house every day and bring back food for Grandma Chen.

On this day, Wen Wan took the medicine to Gu Qian's house again, intending to find an opportunity to administer the medicine to Gu's mother again. However, as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Gu's father sitting there.

Wen Yan: "..."

To be honest, she was a little afraid of this drunkard, especially one with violent tendencies.

She wanted to leave, but Gu's father saw her and asked, "Are you Grandma Shen's granddaughter from Lin City?"

"Yes." Wen Wan had no choice but to answer, as she couldn't leave.

Looking at her, Gu's father said, "You don't seem like someone from our village. Why did you come back? The Li family is so rich, wouldn't it be better to enjoy your retirement there? Why did you come back to this poor and dilapidated little village?"

Wen Wan: "The Li family is not the place for me."

"What's this about right or wrong? We've raised you for twenty years, even if we're not related by blood, it doesn't mean we should just kick you out and abandon you, does it?"

Wen Yan: "..."

Father Gu didn't drink today, a rare moment of sobriety for him.

"I heard you've been coming to see Gu Qian every day lately? You like my Gu Qian?"

Wen Wan: "You've misunderstood. We're just friends. I asked Gu Qian to make a meal for my grandma because I don't know how to cook."

How much is the salary?

Wen Wan: "What?"

"Hiring a housekeeper to cook would cost four or five thousand a month, right? You can't be short of money, can you? Are you trying to take advantage of my Gu family?"

Wen Yan: "..."

I'll pay for the meals and rice.

"How can you be so stingy? You've been the daughter of a wealthy family for so many years, you must have at least a million or two, right? How come you can't even afford to hire someone to cook for you? If you can't afford it, don't come looking for Gu Qian again."

Wen Wan is numb.

What is this?

At this moment, Gu Qian came out, his face very pale. He looked at his father and said, "I don't want her money. Besides, I still owe her medical bills, nine hundred and eighty-five yuan. Now that you're back, please help me pay her back."

Father Gu: "What did you say? What hospital are you going to? That's such a waste of money! Those hospitals overcharge, a bottle of saline solution costs tens of yuan. Do we have that much money to send you to the hospital?"

Wen Wan couldn't stand it anymore. "Uncle, you're wrong to say that. Do you know he had a concussion? That can be fatal if you're not careful. The doctors said it was very serious. Besides, he only stayed in the hospital for one day to avoid wasting money. You shouldn't have said that to him."

"Concussion? You didn't die, did you? But this money was given voluntarily by you, and it has nothing to do with my family. Besides, Gu Qian has been cooking for your family for so long, so it's worth the money."

Wen Yan: "..."

Speechless. Utterly speechless.

Gu Qian: "You go back first, I'll find a way to pay you back."

Wen Wan was a little worried, but there was nothing she could do. After all, he was Gu Qian's biological father, and he looked so frightening.

Wen Wan returned home worriedly. "System, how do I make sure the male lead's father won't dare to hit the male lead anymore?"

system:【? ? ​​? 】

Isn't this meddling too much?

"Do you have a magic pill that makes people vomit as soon as they drink alcohol, so they can never drink again?"

system:【……】

I am a system, not Doraemon.

"But think about it, if he keeps drinking, he'll keep hitting Gu Qian and Gu Yao. Gu's mother will be agitated, and her mental illness won't get better. Then, accidents are very likely to continue to happen. Do you want to see that? We need to solve the problem at its root. Gu Qian's mother is having an illness, but the root of her problem is Gu's father. If we deal with Gu's father, won't everything get better?"

System: That makes some sense.

But the authorities definitely won't approve it! If everything required a cheat code, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

[Host, stop dreaming. It's impossible.]

Wen Yan: "..."

This system is so stubborn and unresponsive, it's so annoying.

Wen Wan was very worried, and even Grandma Shen noticed her concern and asked, "Why did you come back from Gu Qian's house so soon? Did Gu Da come back? Did he get drunk and beat the child again?"

Grandma Shen said, "Don't get involved. Although the Gu brothers are pitiful, it's their family matter after all. Besides, we're old, and you're a girl. If Gu Da holds a grudge, that would be bad. I'd really worry if something happened to you."

Wen Wan comforted Grandma Shen, "I'm fine. I know how to protect myself. It's just that Gu Qian is so pitiful. His father is a scoundrel. If Gu's mother gets better, can we get a divorce?"

Grandma Shen shook her head. "His mother's illness is hereditary and there's no way to cure it."

“There is a chance. I believe his mother will get better.”

Grandma Shen thought Wen Wan was too naive, but she didn't refute her. Instead, she went along with it and said, "I also hope that Gu Qian's mother can get better, so that these two children won't have to suffer so much."

About an hour and a half later, Wen Wan secretly went to Gu Qian's house to check on the situation. Gu's father had left, and Gu Qian was injured. The house was a mess, and Gu Qian was cleaning up. Gu Yao stood to the side, at a loss. When he saw her coming, he ran to Wen Wan's side and said, "Sister Qing."

Wen Wan touched Gu Yao's face. "Are you alright?"

Gu Yao shook his head. "I'm not injured, but my brother is, and Dad took all the money from the house. Sister Qing, can you take my brother to the hospital?"

Gu Qian: "I'm fine, I don't need to go to the hospital."

Wen Wan reached out and handed over some medicine. "The wound needs medicine too. It'll get infected. This is all my fault. If I hadn't come to you, it wouldn't have turned out like this."

Wen Wan felt somewhat guilty.

She shouldn't be afraid, she shouldn't leave, but she couldn't. She couldn't face Gu's father; she was a cowardly person.

"It's not your fault."

Wen Wan applied medicine to Gu Sui. Gu Sui was initially unwilling, but seeing Wen Wan's red eyes and obvious guilt, he agreed. Actually, this injury was much better than the last one, but there were still wounds on his face. Wen Wan was afraid of hurting him, so she carefully applied the medicine. After applying the medicine, she was completely exhausted. She was extremely tired after being under great mental stress. Anyone who didn't know better would think that she was the one who was injured.
