On the way there, Lu Qing kept Gu Yu breathing with his Qi until she entered the operating room.
Fang Minjing suddenly collapsed to the ground, tears welling in her eyes, repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry!"
Lu Qing looked at the deathly aura still lingering around Fang Minjing's palace and sighed helplessly.
Gu Yu is still in danger.
Lu Qing helped Fang Minjing to sit down in a chair:
"Teacher Fang, you need to be prepared. Whether you can survive this ordeal during the Grain Rain season depends on fate."
Upon hearing this, Fang Minjing suddenly seemed to remember something and immediately knelt down before Lu Qing:
"Lu Qing, I know you have some special abilities, please, please save my daughter!"
Please!
Lu Qing quickly helped her up:
"Teacher Fang, please don't do this, please get up!"
“It’s not that I don’t want to save Gu Yu, but that I can’t. This is her destiny.”
“I could tell from the first moment I saw her, so I gave her that amulet in the hope that it would protect her life.”
"I've done all I can. Whether she can get through this is entirely up to fate."
Fang Minjing knelt on the ground, filled with self-reproach.
"It's all my fault. I knew what kind of person Gu Xiangming was, so why did I let him take Gu Yu away?"
"It's my fault for harming Gu Yu; I failed to protect her!"
Fang Minjing cried so hard she almost fainted.
Lu Qing didn't try to persuade her, nor did she know how to do so.
If Gu Yu survives, all will be well; if she doesn't, Fang Minjing will never forgive herself.
After a very long time, someone finally came out of the operating room.
Are you a family member of the child?
Fang Minjing rushed over: "Doctor, how is my daughter?"
"The child's condition is not optimistic. The injuries are too severe, especially the severe blow to the head. Although the surgery has been completed, the child is still not out of danger and needs to be transferred to the intensive care unit for observation."
Fang Minjing almost fainted, but luckily Lu Qing caught her.
"Teacher Fang, you can't fall ill now, Gu Yu needs you!"
"What will happen to Gu Yu if you fall? The people who hurt her haven't even gotten their comeuppance yet!"
Hearing this, Fang Minjing was finally able to stand up straight.
"You're right! My daughter can't be bullied like this!"
After Gu Yu was admitted to the ICU, Fang Minjing called the police.
Gu Xiangming was not the only one who injured Gu Yu; his mistress, with whom he had an affair, was also involved.
They hadn't had time to deal with the ropes used to tie up Gu Yu in the basement, nor the weapons used in the beating. When the police arrived, they seemed to know they had committed a crime and were planning to flee abroad.
With conclusive evidence, both men were taken to the police station for intentional assault.
Fang Minjing successfully made Gu Xiangming leave the house penniless, but Gu Yu, who was lying in the intensive care unit, still did not wake up.
Lu Qing and the others would come to visit from time to time.
Soon, half a month had passed.
Lu Qing arrived at the hospital and handed Fang Minjing some recordings of rain sounds.
"Gu Yu likes rain, so let her listen to it more; maybe she'll wake up sooner."
Fang Minjing accepted the tape recorder, nodding with a choked voice:
"Thanks!"
Just then, a loud clap of thunder came from the sky outside, and dark clouds blocked out the sunlight, but it did not affect the monitoring room, which was always lit up.
The rain started, pouring down; it looked like a heavy downpour.
Lu Qing glanced at Fang Minjing unintentionally and saw that the deathly aura on her children's palace suddenly dissipated.
"Teacher Fang, Gu Yu might be alright!"
Fang Minjing was suddenly stunned, and then she heard the nurse rush out and call her:
Are Gu Yu's family members here?
Fang Minjing quickly ran over: "Yes, I am Guyu's mother."
"The child has woken up and all vital signs have stabilized. We'll observe him for a while longer, and if there are no problems, he can be transferred to a regular ward."
Fang Minjing was so happy that she was a little dazed and almost thought she had misheard.
"Lu Qing, did she just mention Gu Yu? Did Gu Yu wake up?"
Lu Qing nodded with a smile: "Yes! Teacher Fang, Gu Yu has woken up, she's alright now!"
Fang Minjing's tears streamed down her face instantly:
"She's awake! She's awake! She's finally awake!"
All the self-blame, regret, and worry I felt these past few days were released as scalding tears.
Gu Yu was transferred to a regular ward. When she opened her eyes and saw her mother, she tried her best to smile.
"Mommy, don't cry, it doesn't hurt anymore!"
Fang Minjing's tears, which she had been holding back, welled up again. She gently held her daughter's hand, her voice choked with emotion:
"Okay! Mommy won't cry, Mommy is happy!"
Gu Yu looked at Lu Qing standing at the foot of the bed and smiled:
"Sister Lu Qing, you've come to see me too?"
"Yes! I'm here to congratulate Xiaoyu on finally defeating the demon and being reborn!"
After saying that, Lu Qing walked to the window, opened it, and let the wind blow the rain in.
"Grain Rain, look! It's raining!"
A raindrop fell on Gu Yu's face with the wind; it was cool and refreshing.
Gu Yu looked at the rain outside and smiled happily.
Thunder roars, rain pours down, and all things come to life.
After this ordeal, Gu Yu lived a peaceful and joyful life, free from any further calamities.
As darkness fell, Lu Qing left the ward, and not long after, Fang Minjing chased after her.
"Lu Qing."
"Teacher Fang, is there anything else?" Lu Qing asked.
"It's nothing, I just remembered that I haven't thanked you properly yet. If it weren't for you, Gu Yu would probably be gone by now."
Fang Minjing bowed deeply in thanks, and Lu Qing quickly helped her up.
"Teacher Fang, you don't need to be so polite. I'm helping you because you've helped me before."
"Go back and take care of Guyu. We hope she gets better soon. We're still waiting for you to teach us!"
Fang Minjing smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
Fang Minjing returned to her ward, while Lu Qing went to the hospital entrance to hail a taxi.
It's hard to hail a car on rainy days; I waited for a long time but no car came.
Just then, a car stopped in front of her and honked its horn.
Lu Qing's gaze was drawn to the car, where the window was open and a young man wearing sunglasses was driving.
"Is this Miss Lu Qing from the Chu family?"
Lu Qing asked in surprise, "You know me?"
The man took off his sunglasses: "Miss Lu Qing, you seem to have a bad memory. My name is Huang Zeyu. My mother and Aunt Chu are friends. You've even been to my house before!"
"Is there?"
Lu Qing didn't quite remember.
Han Ziyuan had taken her to many friends' homes, but she had no interest in socializing and barely remembered any of them.
The man in front of me seems to have some recollection of me.
Seeing that Lu Qing couldn't remember, Huang Zeyu wasn't angry. Instead, he took an umbrella and got out of the car.
"Miss Lu Qing, it's raining so hard today, it'll probably be hard to get a taxi. Where do you need to go? I'll give you a ride!"
Lu Qing thought for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Huang Zeyu stepped forward to hold an umbrella for Lu Qing, then opened the car door, acting very gentlemanly.
"Miss Lu Qing, where are you going?" Huang Zeyu asked.
Lu Qing: "I'm going to No. 3 Mindong Road."
Huang Zeyu's eyes flickered slightly: "You're going to find your fiancé about the location of the Gu Group!"
"Yes!" Lu Qing nodded.
"After we cross that intersection, could you please stop for a moment?" Lu Qing asked.
Huang Zeyu: "What do you need?"
Lu Qing: "Gu Xicheng said yesterday that he wanted to eat the spicy crab at this restaurant. I have already asked the owner to make it. Just go and pick it up. It won't take too long."
Huang Zeyu curled the corners of his lips, his tone somewhat strange: "Miss Lu Qing is really good to your fiancé!"
Lu Qing: "You said he's my fiancé, is it strange that I'm nice to him?"
