Chapter 242 Dad! I was wrong!
When Gu Zhenjun wanted to hit his son, Huo Yao didn't stop him, but reminded him: "You can't walk or lift anything now, and you need someone to help you go to the toilet. Who can you hurt with that little strength?"
Gu Zhenjun thought for a moment and said, "Play, play twice... times."
Anyway, if I don't beat that brat up today, he won't be able to calm down, and he probably won't be able to sleep tonight.
Huo Yao didn't say anything more.
Let's fight then. Just use our strength as a substitute for physical exertion. Anyway, that kid can take a beating.
Thinking this, Huo Yao thoughtfully asked her bodyguard to find a suitable stick for Gu Zhenjun.
Gu Suixing was unaware that her parents had already prepared the necessary equipment for her. She left work on time without any hesitation, and in a good mood, shut down her computer and went downstairs.
Starting today, he has officially returned to work at Gu's.
However, compared to before, this time he worked hard for the Gu family willingly.
After all, the Gu family business is his now—his father's is his. If he manages the Gu family business well, the money will eventually end up in his pocket, unlike before when he worked himself to the bone for his grandfather and got nothing but a salary that he didn't even care about.
As Gu Suixing exited the Gu's Building, he immediately spotted Lu Fengqing's car parked on the side of the road.
Lu Fengqing was still driving the Landwind and that Lamborghini.
Gu Suixing looked the car over, thinking about getting his wife a new car. He couldn't let her keep driving other men's cars.
Rui Rui sat in the back seat, holding a juice cup bigger than his face and sipping it slowly. When he saw Gu Suixing get into the car, he spat out the straw and called out, "Dad."
Lu Fengqing was looking at the design drawings sent by the designer, without even looking up.
Lu Fengqing has been busy these past few days, meeting with a bunch of people from various brands to start ordering winter clothes. Besides clothes for herself, Gu Suixing, and Rui Rui, she also thought that Huo Yao had been busy taking care of Gu Zhenjun and probably hadn't ordered any winter clothes for this year, so she planned to order some winter clothes for Huo Yao and Gu Zhenjun, who had just woken up.
Spending money is easy, but choosing the right items from a dazzling array of goods is not.
Besides, Rui Rui's birthday is coming up soon. She wanted to keep it simple, just the family getting together to eat a birthday cake and have a nice atmosphere, but Gu Suixing insisted on making it a big deal. Candy, champagne, flowers, balloons, toys, a nine-tiered birthday cake—nothing could be missing; it had to be a grand and luxurious affair.
The scoundrel even threatened her, saying that if she didn't handle this well, she should prepare to have a second child... Helpless, she had no choice but to start preparing. These days, she's busy from morning till afternoon every day, then rushing to pick up Rui Rui from kindergarten right on time.
Kindergarten dismisses at 4:30, and Gu Suixing gets off work at 6:00. Today, Lu Fengqing picked up Rui Rui from kindergarten, took him shopping and had something to eat, and then came to Gu's to wait for Gu Suixing to get off work, close to 6:00.
Gu Suixing asked the child's mother, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Lu Fengqing put down her phone and said perfunctorily, "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome."
"..." Gu Suixing calmly accepted: "Thank you."
The hospital has a nutritionist who prepares nutritious meals for Gu Zhenjun. Huo Yao has also been eating nutritious meals with Gu Zhenjun these days, so Lu Fengqing and Gu Suixing don't need to buy food for him anymore. The two of them took Rui Rui out for dinner before going to the hospital.
As soon as Gu Suixing pushed open the door to the ward, she was met with her father's gloomy face.
A bad feeling welled up inside Gu Suixing, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Rui Rui." Huo Yao's eyes lit up when she saw Rui Rui, and she immediately went to greet her.
Rui Rui greeted everyone sweetly, "Good evening, Grandma and Grandpa."
Gu Zhenjun shifted his gaze from his son to his grandson, his eyes softening.
He instinctively reached out to call his grandson over for a hug, but his fingertips touched the stick hidden under the blanket, so he had to hold back and gave his wife a wink.
Huo Yao took Rui Rui's little hand and said to Lu Fengqing, "Those nutritional meals are too bland. Let's change things up today. Come downstairs to eat with me."
Don't let Huo Yao's usual aloofness and strong, career-woman demeanor fool you. She may seem like a health enthusiast, but she actually loves spicy food. Even when she was pregnant with Gu Suixing, she ate spicy dishes at every meal. It would be really difficult for her to eat bland, nutritious meals every day.
Lu Fengqing didn't think much of it and nodded.
Seeing that his wife and son were about to be taken away by his own mother, Gu Suixing's ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger, and his right eyelid began to twitch.
"Mom, I..." He wanted to go with her, but before he could even leave the ward, Huo Yao pushed him back, saying, "You stay here with your dad."
Then he slammed the ward door shut.
Soon, only Gu Suixing and Gu Zhenjun remained in the ward.
Seeing her father's stormy face, Gu Suixing became alert and subtly took two steps back. "Dad, would you like some fruit? I..."
"Kneel down!" Gu Zhenjun interrupted him in a low voice.
Gu Suixing: "..."
Gu Suixing slowly knelt down.
Gu Zhenjun: "Kneel by the bed."
Gu Zhenjun had only recently woken up and was not fully recovered. Gu Suixing did not dare to go against him at this time, for fear of making him faint from anger, so he could only do as he was told.
Gu Suixing walked to the bedside and knelt down again, only to see his father pull a stick out of the blanket.
Gu Suixing: "..."
Gu Suixing: "...Dad! I was wrong!"
He admitted his mistake quickly. Gu Zhenjun pointed at him with his stick, "Where did you go wrong?"
Gu Suixing: "You're wrong about everything."
Gu Zhenjun shouted in a low voice: "Be more specific!"
Although Gu Suixing was a bit of a troublemaker, he hadn't made many serious mistakes in his twenty-odd years of life. The only thing that would warrant his father beating him as soon as he woke up was probably Rui Rui's matter.
Gu Suixing said, "I shouldn't let Lu Nian bear the consequences of contraceptive failure alone."
Gu Zhenjun: "..."
What kind of nonsense is this? So you think it's okay for you to have slept with that young girl back then?
Gu Zhenjun, unable to bear it any longer, swung the stick down hard, striking his son's leg.
His body had not fully recovered, and although he was not very strong, he was not weak either.
Gu Suixing neither dodged nor avoided the pain; he merely frowned slightly but remained silent.
When Gu Zhenjun struck with the stick for the second time, his eyes reddened.
Gu Suixing endured the pain and forced a light laugh, "Dad, I'm the one who got hit. I haven't even cried yet, so why are you crying?"
Gu Zhenjun glared at him, "Do you think I'm feeling sorry for you?"
He felt sorry for Niannian!
He couldn't even imagine how Niannian got pregnant at such a young age, and with that brat not by her side, she had to face and endure everything all by herself. He couldn't even think about how Niannian got through those months.
He knew the Lu family's situation all too well. With Lu Yunsi as a precedent, those two old people would never agree to let their granddaughter keep the child. But Niannian still gave birth to the child in the end. How much suffering must she have endured in the process?
If Niannian were his daughter, and this brat weren't his own son, he would beat the brat to death.
Gu Suixing played along, saying, "Dad, why would you feel sorry for me? You feel sorry for your daughter-in-law."
"Bullshit!" Gu Zhenjun retorted, "Wife! You're married?"
"..." Gu Suixing smiled bitterly, "You and Mom really know how to stab me in the heart."
"Useless!" Gu Zhenjun's third strike landed.
Gu Suixing hissed and reminded him, "Dad, I advise you not to hit me."
Gu Zhenjun raised the stick in his hand, "Reason."
“Third Uncle Xie knows everything,” Gu Suixing said calmly. “If you don’t hit me, I can take the beating for you when he comes to settle accounts with you later. But if you hurt me, Third Uncle might not be able to bring himself to hit me and will instead pick a fight with you.”
This time, it was Gu Zhenjun's heart that skipped a beat.
Did he know everything because of him?
