Chapter 176: Lu Zhihe and Zhou Huizhen want to meet Gu Yunting!
Cheng Xinkai gave him a slightly helpless smile, the previous scene flashed through his mind again, and then he spread his hands and replied in disagreement: "Maybe I showed up at the wrong time. If I had known her a few years earlier, she would definitely have chosen me."
Director Zhou could see the sadness beneath his joke. He stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "If two people can't be together, then they're not destined to be together. Don't worry, after work, I'll have my wife contact that girl. When you meet her in the future, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Cheng Xinkai concealed his inner loneliness and smiled at him: "Thank you, Director Zhou. I will treat you and your sister-in-law to dinner later."
Thus, his five-year unrequited love came to an end, and it was time for him to start over.
…
Gu Yunting and Su Mengxue hugged each other for a long time until they heard the nurse knocking on the door, and they were reluctant to separate.
For the next two days, Gu Yunting took care of Su Mengxue, and he was very meticulous.
Early in the morning, after Su Mengxue gets up, he will prepare warm water for her to wash.
Then he would let her drink a cup of warm water to moisten her intestines. Every time, he would drop a few drops of water on his hand first. If the water temperature was right, he would hand it to her mouth and feed her a little bit at a time.
When it was time for Su Mengxue to eat, he fed her with a focused look as if he was doing something important, which often made Su Mengxue laugh, but he would always seriously remind her to be careful not to choke.
Every time the nurse came to give her an IV, he would ask her to be gentle, and after the nurse finished inserting the needle and left, he would let Su Mengxue sleep and rest. However, he himself would not sleep for a moment, and from time to time he would look up at the IV bottle, and then look down at her hand to see if there was any bleeding.
Although Su Mengxue's body had recovered to a large extent and she would be discharged from the hospital soon, she protested against Gu Yunting's thoughtful and considerate care.
But Gu Yunting still insisted on taking care of her like this. According to him, he owed her too much, and only if he did more could he feel less guilty.
However, Gu Yunting also had times when he compromised. For example, Cheng Xinkai still delivered three meals a day to him as usual these days. He actually thought about buying them himself in the hospital cafeteria or at a state-owned restaurant outside.
But he had checked and found that the food in the cafeteria and state-owned restaurants was a bit greasy for patients, and the nutritional balance was far inferior to what Cheng Xinkai sent.
Although he felt a little guilty, he agreed for the sake of Su Mengxue's health.
He also thought about repaying Cheng Xinkai, but giving him money was too direct, and he didn't know what to do if he gave him something else. After thinking about it, the day before Su Mengxue was discharged from the hospital, he thanked Cheng Xinkai very solemnly when he saw him off.
Cheng Xinkai only said one thing to him at that time, which was to treat Su Mengxue well, otherwise he would not let him go.
Gu Yunting heard the clue in the words. As a man, he could feel that Cheng Xinkai was also interested in Su Mengxue, but he was not worried because she gave him enough sense of security.
On the day Su Mengxue was discharged from the hospital, Lu Zhi and Zhou Huizhen were also transferred to the general ward. She thought about it all night last night and decided to hide Lu Xin's matter from them because they couldn't accept it for the time being.
As for Gu Yunting, she would first explain everything to the two of them before letting them see him.
When she entered the lobby, in order to prevent Zhou Huizhen and Lu Zhi from noticing that she was injured, she deliberately pulled up her collar, then took a deep breath and suppressed the heartache and sadness in her heart.
When she entered the ward, she saw Lu Zhi and Zhou Huizhen lying weakly on the beds on her left and right. The panic she had felt when she heard the news had not completely faded. She stood there in a daze, and her eyes suddenly became moist.
"Mengxue, don't be sad. Your dad and I are fine now."
"Yes, my daughter, we are fine now. We will be discharged from the hospital in two days. Please don't cry."
Zhou Huizhen and Lu Zhi spoke one after another. She walked quickly towards them, and then forced a smile at the corner of her lips. Yes, fortunately they are okay, fortunately I can see them again in the future.
For her, although they are not her biological parents, after five years of living together day and night, she has long regarded them as her own biological parents.
Over the years, she had never felt the warmth, love, and teachings from her own parents, but she felt them all from Zhou Huizhen and Lu Zhi.
In her heart, she really cares about them and regards them as her own family.
She first came to Zhou Huizhen, bent down and hugged her. She had originally agreed not to cry, but Zhou Huizhen gently patted her back and kept comforting her in a soft voice. She couldn't hold it back anymore and burst into tears on Zhou Huizhen's shoulder.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses.
After Zhou Huizhen helped her wipe away her tears, she sat by the bed and asked about their recovery. After receiving a positive answer, she was completely relieved.
Then the two of them mentioned Lu Xin and Lu Zihao, and Su Mengxue had already thought of what to say before entering the door.
She lied that Lu Xin had a bad cold and didn't come to avoid infecting them. As for Zihao, it was much easier to explain. He went to school.
Zhou Huizhen and Lu Zhi always trusted her and did not notice anything wrong. After they chatted about family matters for a while, Su Mengxue hesitated for a few moments and told them about Gu Yunting.
Seeing that they were not opposed to it, she told them about the misunderstanding between them and the whole story. Finally, she mentioned that he was also in Shanghai, right at the door of the ward.
It was up to them to decide whether they wanted to see him or not.
After Zhou Huizhen and Lu Zhi exchanged a few glances, Zhou Huizhen looked at Su Mengxue and asked, "Child, have you forgiven him?"
Su Mengxue nodded and said sincerely and firmly, "Mom and Dad, I care about him and always have him in my heart. We have missed each other for so many years, and I don't want to miss him again in the future."
Zhou Huizhen and Lu Zhi were silent for a moment after hearing her say this. Lu Zhi then asked with a hint of concern, "Girl, what about Lu Yuanzhou?"
Su Mengxue lowered her head and replied apologetically, "Dad, I've seen and remembered all his efforts for me over the years. I'm very grateful to him and I plan to repay him when I have the chance. But relationships can't be forced. Even if I'm with him, it can only be out of gratitude. Neither of us will be happy, and we won't be able to go on for long."
Zhou Huizhen and Lu Zhi exchanged another tacit glance, and Lu Zhi blurted out, "Mengxue, call him in. We two want to talk to him alone."
Su Mengxue's eyes darkened, and she said hesitantly, "Dad, Mom, you..."
