Chapter 243 See you tomorrow
Gu Suixing looked sympathetic, but his tone sounded quite gloating. "Dad, Third Uncle is furious."
If he weren't currently on a business trip abroad and unable to return, his father wouldn't have had to relearn how to walk.
Why bother learning to walk when your leg is broken?
It just so happens that his Bugatti can be passed down to his father.
Gu Zhenjun's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the stick.
He loved his mother and his wife, and therefore placed great importance on women's wishes.
There's nothing wrong with that, but it was precisely for this reason that he made the biggest mistake of his life—after guessing that the Yun Si Xie Chaoyin mentioned might be Lu Yun Si, he didn't mention it to Xie Chaoyin, but instead chose to ask Lu Yun Si first.
He simply couldn't understand how those two had gotten together, especially since Lu Yunsi was so much older than Xie Chaoyin. But he also knew that feelings were irrational; if you liked someone, you just liked them.
Lu Yunsi begged him to keep it a secret and not to mention her to Xie Chaoyin. In his memory, Lu Yunsi was a gentle and considerate older sister. That day was the first time he had ever seen Lu Yunsi cry. She was clutching his clothes tightly, almost kneeling down to beg him. He couldn't bear to refuse, so he reluctantly agreed.
But he was not a natural liar. He and Xie Chaoyin had grown up together since childhood, and he couldn't hide the truth from Xie Chaoyin for long. In order to keep his promise, he simply avoided Xie Chaoyin.
In the years following Lu Yunsi's incident, he repeatedly thought day and night: if he had told Xie Chaoyin directly, if he hadn't promised Lu Yunsi to keep the secret and had instead asked Xie Chaoyin to go to Lu Yunsi, would none of what happened have occurred, and would Niannian have had parents?
Gu Zhenjun's voice trembled slightly, "How did your third uncle find out?"
Gu Suixing: "I ran into Lu Nian."
Gu Zhenjun understood.
Lu Fengqing looks a lot like Lu Yunsi, so it's not surprising that Xie Chaoyin would become suspicious and investigate her.
Gu Zhenjun then asked, "Chao Yin, what do you mean?"
Gu Suixing had a good memory, and mimicking Xie Chaoyin's tone, he repeated to his father what Xie Chaoyin had said to him at the club that day: "Don't worry. When your father wakes up, I still have a score to settle with him."
Gu Zhenjun: "..."
"Thump—", the stick in Gu Zhenjun's hand fell to the ground.
Gu Suixing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the stick away.

Rui Rui had never eaten such spicy food before. Seeing her grandma enjoying it, she was tempted to try it too.
Lu Fengqing used clean chopsticks to pick out a piece of minced meat the size of a soybean and held it to his mouth, saying, "If you can't eat it, just spit it out."
Rui Rui's eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth to eat it.
The next second, her fair face froze, and slowly wrinkled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lu Fengqing held the bowl to his lips, "Spit it out."
Rui Rui refused to spit it out and swallowed it anyway.
Lu Fengqing had no choice but to hand him the water glass.
Huo Yao found it amusing, "Sui Xing doesn't like spicy food either, she can't eat any at all."
She still remembers the same expression her son, Sui Xing, had when he first touched a chili pepper as a child; his little face scrunched up like a crumpled piece of paper.
Gu Zhenjun can't eat much, but Lu Fengqing can eat some spicy food with her. Lu Fengqing's childhood habit of secretly eating spicy snacks was learned from her.
Lu Fengqing: "His taste is like his father's; he likes sweets."
After Huo Yao finished eating, she asked about Rui Rui's birthday party, and Lu Fengqing told her the truth.
“It’s time to do it,” Huo Yao said. “Your wedding with Sui Xing next year should also be a grand affair.”
It wasn't because of the prestige of being a wealthy family or anything else; it just so happened that Gu Zhenjun had woken up, and the Gu family had to show their attitude and demonstrate that they valued their child and his mother.
Lu Fengqing: "There's no rush for the wedding."
That jerk hasn't even proposed yet.
Huo Yao nodded, "You can handle it as you see fit. Just let me know in advance. If you're too busy, I'll have Secretary Liu come and assist you."
Lu Fengqing did not refuse; she was indeed a bit too busy to handle everything by herself and was just about to find help.
Speaking of helpers, Lu Fengqing suddenly thought of Fang Ning.
If it weren't for the kidnapping incident, Fang Ning would be quite useful; she could be a bodyguard when going out and a nanny when coming home.
What a pity.
Back in the ward, Huo Yao glanced at her husband and son without showing any emotion, pretending not to notice anything unusual about them, and calmly told Gu Suixing about how Gu Zhen had brought his family to visit Gu Zhenjun earlier that day.
Gu Suixing raised an eyebrow, "Where's Gu Zhenhao?"
Huo Yao: "She didn't come."
Gu Suixing snorted, "I doubt he'd dare."
The person who suggested setting fire to the sanatorium was Tang Xiang. Does Gu Zhenhao dare to say he was unaware of it?
It would be better if they didn't come; if they do, he will definitely "treat" them well.
Huo Yao: "Gu Zhengang is quite thoughtful. Gu Weiwei's engagement banquet is in the next few days, right? Have someone send a gift over later."
Gu Suixing did not respond.
Lu Fengqing sat on the edge of the bed with Rui Rui in her arms and talked to Gu Zhenjun.
Gu Zhenjun said, "I will be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow."
Lu Fengqing: "We'll come pick you up then."
Gu Zhenjun shook his head, "Go back to the old man. He's not good to you, don't go."
Lu Fengqing was stunned.
Gu Zhenjun looked at the little girl he had watched grow up with affection. Thinking of the grievances she had suffered over the years, he couldn't help but tear up again. "Niannian, don't be afraid, Daddy Gu is here."
Lu Fengqing laughed, "Yes. I'm not afraid."
Before leaving, Gu Suixing took out his phone and read the message he had just received to his father with a smile: "I'm boarding the plane. Tell your dad, see you tomorrow."
"..." Gu Zhenjun felt very weak and needed to sleep for a few more days.
As Gu Suixing left the ward, she leaned against Lu Fengqing.
Lu Fengqing was nearly knocked over by him. "What's wrong?"
Rui Rui was munching on a small apple that her grandfather had peeled himself when she heard the sound. She looked up and blinked at her parents.
Gu Suixing said in a muffled voice, "My legs hurt."
Lu Fengqing frowned and looked down at his leg. "It's been more than two months, and it's still not healed?"
Gu Suixing said with a hint of grievance, "My dad hit me."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Lu Fengqing's brows relaxed. "Serves you right."
Gu Suixing: "..."
