Chapter 75 Gu Jue is my child
Chu Xiang sat with Gu Heng in the lounge. Gu Heng was worried that she was hungry, so he bought her some food and said, "I'll take you home first."
Chu Xiang shook his head, and he held his hand, "I want to wait for you to go back together."
Although the surgery was over, Gu Muxi was still in danger and could die at any time. He had no children, and his mother was in poor health and had been admitted to the ward. After all, they were family. Even Chen Wanrou, who usually disliked his mother and brother-in-law, stayed here.
Chen Wanrou gets furious whenever she sees Su Ruanruan. She feels that the current chaos in the Gu family is inseparable from this woman. If it weren't for her, Gu Jue wouldn't be so rebellious, and Gu Muxi wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
Although Chen Wanrou lived a carefree life, she wasn't without a conscience. Although she didn't like the old lady and her brother-in-law, she must have felt guilty because her son's mistake had caused her brother-in-law to lose his life. Besides, her brother-in-law had treated Gu Jue quite well.
Chen Wanrou quietly approached Gu Chaoyang, "Chaoyang, what if he doesn't wake up..."
Gu Chaoyang glanced over.
Chen Wanrou shut her mouth.
Gu Jue and Su Ruanruan stayed quietly on the other side. Su Ruanruan was comforting Gu Jue, but Gu Jue was still depressed. If Gu Muxi didn't get better, he would probably live with guilt for the rest of his life.
Chu Xiang grabbed Gu Heng's hand and shook it, then asked softly, "What's going on between your father and your uncle?"
Gu Heng patted her head. "This was probably my grandfather's doing."
Gu Heng grew up with his grandfather, so he knew the old man quite well. When Gu Heng was little and couldn't sleep, the old man would talk about his time with his grandmother.
Gu Heng asked, "Grandpa, where did Grandma go?"
The old man smiled and said, "Grandma was taken away by a monster."
He then asked, "Will Grandpa go to save Grandma?"
"Of course, Grandpa will find the monster and try to find out where Grandma is."
The young child asked innocently, "And then? Do you know where Grandma is now?"
The old man smiled faintly, "I understand."
He still had many questions to ask, such as why, since his grandfather knew where his grandmother was, he didn't bring her back, but instead had another woman by his side.
At that time, Grandpa seemed very tired. He coaxed the child to sleep and said softly, "One day, Grandpa will go to find Grandma."
That was just a story, but combined with all the events over the years, and because of Gu Chaoyang's words today, that story suddenly became clear.
Old Master Gu had been silent for many years, and no one had ever imagined that a ferocious beast had been lurking in the abyss all along. He could patiently lie dormant for so many years, treating his time as a necessary price, just waiting to bite the prey when it was most relaxed.
Gu Heng couldn't understand Old Master Gu's actions. Was this kind of revenge, which came too late, even meaningful?
But when Gu Heng looked at the girl nestled beside him, he suddenly understood.
He couldn't imagine the day he would lose Chu Xiang. Having gotten used to having her by his side, how would he get through the days without her?
He would resent her for leaving too soon, and he would also be afraid that he would forget her face as time went by.
Keeping your enemies around is not only taking revenge on those you hate, but also torturing yourself.
He looked at Wang Mingyue day and night, and every moment the image of another woman would appear before his eyes. In this self-torture-like torment, he could never forget her in his life.
Gu Heng tightened his grip on Chu Xiang's waist slightly. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with confusion.
Gu Heng smiled gently, "Are you sleepy? I'll find you a room to rest."
Chu Xiang leaned against him and shook her head. "Not sleepy."
She didn't sleep well at all last night, and she yawned several times just now. She doesn't look sleepy at all.
I just wanted to be with him.
Gu Heng held her hand and gently stroked it. All his previous fear and anxiety vanished because of her presence. He lowered his head and whispered to her, "What do you want to eat when we get back?"
Chu Xiang: "KFC!"
He smiled and said, "Okay."
Chu Xiang looked puzzled. He used to dislike her eating such unhealthy fast food, so why was he being so generous today?
Time passed, and a nurse hurried over. "The patient has woken up. He says he wants to see Gu Chaoyang, Mr. Gu."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Gu Jue was overjoyed, but upon hearing the rest, he looked at his father in confusion.
Chen Wanrou looked at her husband curiously, "Why does he want to see you?"
Logically speaking, the person closest to Gu Muxi should be the old lady, so even if he wanted to see her, he should see the old lady.
Gu Chaoyang didn't say anything. He got up and walked towards the ward.
Chen Wanrou was restless. Call her narrow-minded or a troublemaker, but she felt that even sons born to the same mother in a wealthy family could turn against each other for money, let alone half-brothers.
But nowadays, even the "same father" aspect is not certain.
Chen Wanrou had repeatedly told Gu Chaoyang not to get too close to Gu Muxi, but Gu Chaoyang just wouldn't listen to her. She couldn't sit still any longer, so she glanced in the direction Gu Chaoyang had disappeared and quietly followed him.
In the ward, the only sound could be the operation of electronic equipment.
Gu Chaoyang entered the ward.
The man lying on the hospital bed was pale. He heard footsteps and barely opened his eyes.
The nurse reminded them, "The patient has just woken up and needs to rest. You can only talk for ten minutes at most. Come out quickly when you're done."
After the nurse left, Gu Muxi gave a weak smile, "Big brother."
Gu Chaoyang asked, "What do you want to tell me?"
Gu Muxi said, "I don't know how much longer I have to live..."
"The doctor said that as long as you wake up, there won't be any major problems." Gu Chaoyang was telling the truth, but for someone who had just gone through a life-or-death experience and was still unable to move, the fear of death threatened him.
Gu Muxi took a few deep breaths and said with difficulty, "Big brother, you knew all along, didn't you?"
Gu Chaoyang asked, "What did you say?"
“Gu Jue, that child…” Gu Muxi paused for a moment, then continued, “He is my child.”
Gu Chaoyang didn't respond.
Gu Muxi said with difficulty, "Don't blame your sister-in-law, and don't blame Gu Jue. It was just an accident, I..."
The door to the ward was kicked open from the outside.
Chen Wanrou stormed in, pointing at Gu Muxi and cursing, "I knew you had ulterior motives! You were just waiting here to sow discord between my husband and me! Gu Jue is my husband's and my son, when did he become your son!"
