Chapter 1224 Prepare to Die
Some things are simply hidden in secret corners for a lifetime, deceiving everyone with an indifferent attitude.
Only when she "doesn't care" at that time can she leave without looking back. She wants to deceive everyone, including herself.
She has acted in many plays, and in the first one she acted crazy and fooled Li Jinxing.
In the second scene, she pretended to fall in love with Li Jinxing and lived in peace with him, as if they were a real family. In the end, she was deeply involved in it. Although she deceived Li Jinxing, this time even she herself could not tell the difference between the play and reality.
Now is the third scene, she has to act out the same way as at the beginning, disgusted with Li Jinxing, disgusted with this place, and indifferent to everything around him. She has to try her best to act the kind of ruthlessness that can abandon everything in order to leave here.
It shouldn't be difficult for her to just be "herself", right?
After Gu Wanqiu gave birth, the only person who came to see her was He Tian. He Tian came with the baby in his arms. He had helped Li Jinxing take care of a child before, so holding a baby and coaxing it was very easy for him.
He came to Gu Wanqiu with the child in his arms: "Do you want to see it?"
Gu Wanqiu shook her head and asked He Tian directly, "Is the experiment successful? When will the blood transfusion surgery begin?"
"You just gave birth and had an operation on your stomach. Your body hasn't recovered yet. Drawing blood at this time may take your life." He said it very directly.
Gu Wanqiu blamed herself a little: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that I would encounter a difficult labor and fail to deliver the baby naturally. If I had a natural birth, my body would have almost recovered by now."
He Tian frowned: "This is something no one could have predicted. You don't need to apologize at all. You look like this... I almost can't recognize you."
In the past, when he thought Gu Wanqiu was wrong, he wanted her to apologize. Firstly, he didn't have the opportunity, and secondly, Gu Wanqiu's personality was such that she would never admit her mistakes.
"I'm a little curious, what was I like in your mind before?"
"Arrogant, willful, spoiled, in short, she doesn't have any good qualities except being pretty." He Tian expressed his impression of Gu Wanqiu without reservation. As if knowing that he was saying bad things about her mother, little Gu Sui burst into tears in dissatisfaction.
The child had always been very quiet. If he cried, he could be held and comforted. It didn't matter who held him, as he wouldn't stick to Gu Wanqiu alone.
She was fine when he was holding her just now, why did she suddenly start crying? He Tian didn’t understand yet. At first he thought she was hungry, but Gu Wanqiu said she had just drunk milk, so he looked to see if she needed to change her diaper, but the diaper was dry.
"It seems she can't stand me saying bad things about you." He Tian held her and coaxed her, walking around the room, "Okay, I won't say bad things about your mother anymore. Don't cry, it's not nice to cry, little one."
The child is only five days old today. Her skin is very thin and pink, and tiny blood vessels can be seen. Although she has been taken out of the incubator, she still looks very fragile, as if she will break at the slightest touch. He Tian is extremely careful when holding her, for fear of hurting her.
Gu Wanqiu always thought that He Tian was a thick-skinned man, but she didn't expect that he could hold the child so skillfully and look so careful.
"You seem quite skilled at holding babies?"
"Yes, when Siyan and Sixu were just born, it was difficult to take care of the eldest child alone, so I would go over and take care of him for a few days when I had nothing to do. Siyan and Sixu were also very well-behaved when they were little, they didn't cry much and were very obedient."
"Li Jinxing is taking care of the child himself?"
"Are you surprised?" He Tian asked back.
Gu Wanqiu nodded.
"Although the eldest brother has hired a confinement nanny and a babysitter, he is the one who takes care of the child at home whenever he has time. He spends as much time with the child as the servants. Don't think he is irresponsible."
She really thought that Li Jinxing was too irresponsible. The two children were born without a mother. He had to manage such a large group by himself. How much time could he have to take care of the children? These two children might just be used as tools to inherit the property. This was what she thought from the beginning.
He Tian continued, "Once the boss sets his mind to something, he thinks long-term. These two children weren't just a whim. They combine your genes with his, making them both beautiful and intelligent. Coupled with the best education, you can see how good these two children are. They've had a head start since birth. Furthermore, such a large group really needs an heir. After all, they've worked so hard for it for so many years. They can't just hand it over to outsiders when they're old and let them take advantage. The heirs, raised by themselves and with their own bloodline, are the true legacy."
The child in her arms had stopped crying. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked curiously at the man holding her, listening to his words.
He Tian was a little tired of holding her, so he sat down directly. "You didn't want this child before, took medicine, and almost went to the hospital for an abortion. Now that you see this child, do you regret your decision?"
"It would be a lie to say I don't regret it. I even wondered if the child was born so fragile because of the medicine I took at the time." Gu Wanqiu blamed herself and resisted the urge to reach out and touch the child.
"If I had eaten well and taken good care of the fetus when I was pregnant with her, I wouldn't have faced the high risk of fetal arrest during birth, and I wouldn't have put her in an incubator as soon as she was born. You are absolutely right. I am an arrogant and selfish person. Compared to Li Jinxing as a father, I am even less worthy of being a mother."
Before she had this child, Gu Wanqiu was an extreme egoist. She was used to thinking about things from her own perspective and would not consider others too much. She was naturally cold-hearted and had difficulty empathizing. She did not want to understand the experiences of others, and she was even more used to imposing her own ideas on others.
For example, when she wanted to abort this child, she was convinced that this child would not have a good outcome, she would not live happily, and she would bear a lot of suffering and responsibility. From the very beginning, she extinguished her hope of survival in her heart.
Now that the baby is born, just like He Tian said, the baby has a head start right from the moment it's born. How many other children would envy this? What you consider to be hardship, in the eyes of others, is something you could never achieve even with a lifetime of hard work.
Li Jinxing could become a good father. With money, he could get everything. With power and influence, no one could bully her. Since she was born, she was loved and protected by her two older brothers. People around her, like He Tian and Zhou Yi, also carefully protected her. What's wrong with such a life? It's just that she didn't have a mother.
Aren’t Siyan and Sixu living well and happily without a mother?
Besides... she is not a good mother. A mother like her only needs to give birth to her, and her presence is not needed in her growth process.
"I have a much different opinion of you now. If you were like this from the beginning, you and the eldest brother would not have come this far." He Tian said as he held the child towards Gu Wanqiu.
"Put it in the crib."
"You don't want to hold her? She's asleep now and won't disturb you."
"I'm not afraid of her causing trouble for me. What I'm afraid of is that I can't bear to leave her. Being cold to her will also help with what happens next. You probably don't want Li Jinxing to see me die saving him, right? So, after the blood transfusion, it would be best if Li Jinxing could hate me and drive me away from here."
Her idea coincided with his, which saved He Tian a lot of trouble.
"So what are you going to do? Is there anything you need me to do?"
"You don't need to do anything. Just maintain the selfish image you have in my mind. I don't like Li Jinxing, so I don't like the child with his blood on him either. I just want to leave here."
At this moment, Gu Wanqiu seemed like a movie queen holding a new script. She looked at the child in He Tian's arms without any expression, as if the child was not hers.
Despite such a change in expression, He Tian still said that it would be a shame not to become an actor.
When Gu Wanqiu was pretending to be crazy and stupid, he was very skeptical, but after seeing her, he immediately dispelled his suspicion. It can be imagined how good her acting skills are.
As for her "personality" this time, she is playing her past self. This should be the easiest role for her to play. At least it is not like the previous two times, where she went against her instinct and liked someone she hated.
He Tian gradually began to admire this woman despite his dislike for her.
Since Gu Wanqiu has made up her mind, he won't force her. Just follow her plan, which will reduce loopholes and save time and effort.
He Tian slowly carried the sleeping child back to the crib. "You should take care of yourself first. I'll come to you after the toxins in the eldest child's body take effect. But judging by his current physical condition, you should be able to rest for a long time."
"Does Li Jinxing know about the two times you came to see me?"
"So what if he knows? He won't suspect anything about you and me. I come here often, so he won't think too much about it."
"No, I'm afraid there are surveillance cameras in the room. What if he sees these and finds out that we're discussing blood transfusion?" Gu Wanqiu had checked around the bedroom to see if there were any cameras or anything like that, but found none.
But not noticing does not mean they don’t exist. Many cameras are hidden and difficult to find.
"So that's what you're worried about. Don't worry, I can control all the surveillance cameras in Qiule Manor. I've already prepared spare replacements, so the boss won't find out."
"That's good..." Gu Wanqiu no longer had anything to worry about.
"When can I meet Si Yan and Si Xu and the others?"
"Aren't you afraid of not wanting to see them?"
Gu Wanqiu thought about it and felt reluctant to leave, but she couldn't help but meet him.
"Do they know I'm back?"
"I probably don't know yet."
"If they don't know I'm back, then just disappear... Just think of me leaving that day and never coming back." It's a pity that she didn't say goodbye properly that time. If she knew it was the last time they met, she would definitely cook a lot of delicious food instead of a few bowls of ginger milk with ulterior motives.
"What if they find out?"
"If they knew, Li Jinxing might bring them to see me when they wanted to see me. I didn't need you to. I was too narrow-minded before. Asking you to bring two children to see me would only cause you trouble, and Li Jinxing would easily find out that something was wrong."
"It's not really that troublesome..."
Gu Wanqiu decided not to bother He Tian. Now she would just leave it to fate and let nature take its course when it came to seeing the two children. She would not force anything.
"Is there anything else you want to say? If there's nothing else to say, I'm leaving."
"Do you know Sister Liu? She used to live with me in North City, and I even went to see Sister Liu at the beach. Do you know where she is? Is she doing well?" She had bought an insurance policy for Sister Liu and had the bank transfer tens of thousands of yuan to her card every month. This money was enough for her to have food and clothing, and she could support her daughter without having to work. She should be living a good life.
He Tian naturally knew this person. When Mrs. Liu got into trouble, it was he who received the instructions from Li Jinxing and investigated the entire incident.
Mrs. Liu died a long time ago because of the insurance that Gu Wanqiu gave her.
Gu Wanqiu had good intentions, but Mrs. Liu died because of her kindness. It was not her fault, but if she knew that Mrs. Liu's death was caused by her, she would definitely not be able to let it go.
The person has been dead for so many years, there is no point in worrying about it anymore. He Tian does not intend to let Gu Wanqiu know about Mrs. Liu's death.
"That's good. After all, you left her a huge sum of money and bought her insurance. Even if she gets sick, she won't have to worry about medical expenses."
Gu Wanqiu remembered that she went to North City when she lost her memory and had some memory fragments. She also asked Li Jinxing how Mrs. Liu was doing, and Li Jinxing's answer was also very good.
Knowing that the few people in this world who treated her well were living a good life, Gu Wanqiu was already satisfied and would have no regrets even if she died.
"Thanks."
He Tian was finally able to leave. He had heard what he wanted to ask and had said everything he needed to say. All Gu Wanqiu could do now was to take good care of her body and prepare for death. Not long after He Tian left, the confinement nanny came in to see the child and check whether the child's diaper needed to be changed.
Gu Wanqiu directly asked the confinement nanny to take the child out. Her sudden cold tone scared the confinement nanny, who thought she had done something wrong and made her unhappy.
But thinking about it carefully, she didn't do anything. Could it be that He Tian came to see her just now and they had a conflict?
The confinement nanny suddenly had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
As for He Tian, not long after he left Qiule Manor, he received a call from Li Jinxing.
He came here to look after Wanqiu and had informed Li Jinxing in advance, saying that he was going to see his precious daughter.
He Tian answered the phone: "You called me right after I left. Was it a coincidence, or did you not help but peek at the surveillance camera again?"
"Coincidence."
The phone was connected to the car's Bluetooth, and the sound coming from the car was a bit loud.
Li Jinxing continued to ask: "How is Gu Wanqiu?"
He Tian laughed and, as usual, began to mock him, "I came to see your daughter. Your daughter is five days old and can now be out of the incubator. You don't care about your daughter but you care about Gu Wanqiu. Boss, you still haven't learned your lesson? How many more times do I have to scold you?"
