Chapter 1250 Self-sacrifice, only oneself is moved
It is a miracle that Gu Wanqiu can hold on until now despite the double blow of physical and psychological blows. He Tian always thought that Gu Wanqiu was a dodder that could only survive by relying on men, but she was much stronger than he thought.
He Tian answered her question seriously, "Si Yan has been released. He's fine. He just got frightened last night, and the sudden drop in temperature has made him catch a cold. When I went to see him, he was in good spirits. His medication was finished, and his fever was gone. He even ate half a bowl of rice and a lot of bone soup at noon, and he also had some fruit..."
Knowing that Gu Wanqiu cared about the children, He Tian talked a lot about the three children.
For example, Gu Sui now looks very similar to her past self. She is obviously a beauty at first glance. She is very beautiful now. When she grows up, she will be a rich and beautiful woman. With the blessing of Li Jinxing, I am afraid she will surpass Gu Wanqiu in the past.
Gu Wanqiu was not very happy when she heard that the child looked like her.
Judging from how much Li Jinxing hates her now, once she leaves...if his hatred remains unchanged, will he take his anger out on her when he sees the child who looks so much like her?
"What are you worried about? I see you're frowning..."
"I'm just... worried that after I'm gone... he'll take his anger towards me out on the child... then, what should I do?"
"You are just worrying about nothing. This kind of thing is impossible. The eldest brother is very good to the child..." He Tian also thought about what Gu Wanqiu said. He was worried, but there was really no need to worry too much. After all, Li Jinxing had a not-so-good childhood. He naturally wanted to hold an umbrella for the child after he had been rained on.
But not everyone in this world thinks this way. Some people, even after getting caught in the rain, will tear up other people's umbrellas.
"If you're still worried, I promise you, I'll help them in the future..."
With He Tian's assurance, Gu Wanqiu relaxed a little.
The medicine in her body had taken effect, numbing her pain nerves, but at the same time, she was feeling extremely tired and had no energy. Gu Wanqiu was holding on.
The corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile: "I didn't expect that during this time when I was about to die, it was you who comforted me..."
After all, He Tian had wanted her dead before, and he had said it directly without hiding it, and his malice towards her had never diminished.
"My mentality changes over time. I feel sorry for you now..." He Tian admitted that he used his empathy in the wrong places. At this point, it seemed hypocritical for him to feel sorry for Gu Wanqiu. Moreover, Gu Wanqiu didn't like others to feel sorry for her.
"If you can't stand it... just tell the boss the truth and say that you were the one who cured him of the poison. I think he'll definitely treat you well..."
"He would have tried everything to find a treatment, putting all the doctors at a loss. But after all his efforts, he still had no choice but to watch me die. What would become of him? Would he go mad? Or would he torture himself for the rest of his life out of guilt? It happened once, ten years ago, and I don't want it to happen again."
That time, news of her death came, but her body was never found. Li Jinxing still had a glimmer of hope.
But this time, she was really going to die.
Between separation and parting ways, the latter is naturally better.
"I've been selfish all my life and have hurt many people. This time, I'm about to die... Let me take the blame for this. At least it's the best outcome for Li Jinxing, don't you think so? This is the plan we set from the beginning, and we can't change it midway."
He Tian nodded and said "hmm". Gu Wanqiu saw things more clearly than him. But he, on the other hand, had become a little unlike himself. Even at this time, he actually felt compassion.
He Tian's feet were numb from squatting, so he stood up, crumpled the blood-stained tissue in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket.
"If I leave alive, he will hate me. After he knows the truth, I will die in front of him. What he will be left with is love and guilt. Don't you think the latter is more like revenge on him? I don't want to take revenge on him..." Gu Wanqiu's face was calm, and he looked indifferent to life and death.
But in fact, she was in unspeakable pain in her heart, and she was also afraid of death. She spent five years undergoing plastic surgery and recovery, and lived in such painful days in a daze, but she was still alive.
She looked calm, as if she didn't care about anything, and pretended to be ready to die bravely, as if she was about to accomplish a great feat.
This kind of self-sacrifice can often only move herself, but it is enough for her.
Between a not-so-good result and a completely bad result, the former is naturally slightly better. It's like picking a general from a pile of rotten fruits, choosing the one you can eat.
Gu Wanqiu closed her eyes to numb herself: "Hate can drive people to grow better than love. It's a good thing for Li Jinxing..."
If it were in the past, perhaps she would prefer the latter, using death to avenge Li Jinxing, but she is no longer the Gu Wanqiu of the past.
He Tian has been here for a long time. He doesn't care, but Gu Wanqiu does: "After taking the medicine you sent me, I feel much better. You can go out. I'm fine for the time being and can still hold on..."
He Tian looked at her pale face and knew that she was holding on, suppressing all her surging emotions under the calm surface she pretended to be.
Indeed, if he continued to stay here, nothing would be solved.
But this time, he also came to bring her a message.
"Don't worry, it won't be long... I can get you out of here..."
Gu Wanqiu didn't ask any more questions, nor did she have the energy to ask any more questions. She could only say "thank you" and "thank you for your help" to He Tian.
Now Gu Wanqiu could only lie on the ground. It rained last night and the temperature was quite high during the day. The curtains were opened and the sunlight came in, just shining on Gu Wanqiu.
Her exposed skin was so white and "transparent" that you could clearly see the blood vessels under the skin, and the external injuries were even more obvious.
"Hold on a little longer. When the boss comes back, I'll plead with him to at least let you sleep in a bed. Your leg still needs treatment."
Whether her leg is treated or not has little impact on Gu Wanqiu. After all, she won't live long. It's just inconvenient for her to leave because there is no one to push her wheelchair. With her current physical condition, it is also difficult for her to use crutches.
"It's okay for me to sleep on the floor..." Gu Wanqiu was worried that Li Jinxing would suspect He Tian.
He Tian also knew what she was thinking: "Don't worry, I know my limits."
Seeing him so confident, Gu Wanqiu didn't say much. Her eyelids became heavier, her eyes were sore, her breathing gradually slowed down, and her mind went blank.
She wanted to say something else, but she forgot the words when they came to her lips. She couldn't remember anything. Her brain was dull, as if she had entered Alzheimer's disease early.
Gu Wanqiu closed her eyes and fell asleep.
He Tian squatted down again and touched Gu Wanqiu's hand. It was clearly over 30 degrees Celsius in the middle of summer and the room was hot, but Gu Wanqiu's body temperature was as if it was winter.
He Tian pulled the quilt and sheets off the bed and draped them over Gu Wanqiu, making it look as if Gu Wanqiu had pulled them off herself. It is always better to have a cover than not.
After doing all this, He Tian went out.
Li Jinxing went out for three hours and came back. When he got home, it was not yet four o'clock.
Si Xu will go to school tomorrow and is doing homework in his room, while He Tian is holding the child and coaxing him. As for Si Yan, he is still sleeping at the moment. He has already asked for leave from the teacher at school.
When Li Jinxing came back, he was a little surprised to see He Tian still there: "Aren't you busy recently?" He looked at him as if to ask, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"I'm quite free these two days, so I'll help you coax the child." Gu Sui is very easy to hold. As her name suggests, "easy-going" seems like anyone can hold her. She doesn't make any noise or fuss. After drinking milk, her belly is full, and now she is grinning happily.
He Tian wiped her mouth. He had been holding her for an hour, and his body was covered with her milky scent.
Li Jin walked forward, stood behind the sofa, looked down at the child in He Tian's arms, and suddenly reached out and poked her face.
The child stopped smiling, and his big eyes were looking at Li Jinxing in confusion.
"This child... I feel like he's looking more and more like Gu Wanqiu. Isn't it said that sons look like their mothers and daughters look like their fathers? How come your family has it the other way around?"
Li Jinxing's fingers stiffened, and then he slowly retracted them.
Gu Sui does look very much like the Gu Wanqiu of the past. If He Tian hadn’t said it... he wouldn’t have reacted.
"You are blaming Gu Wanqiu now. When this child grows up and you see how much she looks like Gu Wanqiu, will you vent your resentment towards her on her?"
"No." Li Jinxing said without hesitation, "I can tell the difference. The child is the child, and Gu Wanqiu is Gu Wanqiu. The two cannot be compared. Even if someone who looks exactly like Gu Wanqiu appears in front of me, I will not transfer the emotions I have for Gu Wanqiu to another person."
Li Jinxing looked at Gu Sui and fell silent after he finished speaking, as if he was reminiscing.
"Where's Siyan? How is he?"
"His fever went away this afternoon, but he's still lethargic. I've already asked for leave from school. He got quite a shock this time. Don't lock him up in a dark place like the basement, even if you're furious. He's still young, and you might get sick from being locked up. Psychological trauma is hard to heal."
Li Jinxing didn't say anything, and it was unclear whether he had heard it or not. Perhaps Li Jinxing didn't think there was anything wrong with locking up a six-year-old child. Compared to what he had endured before, just locking Siyan in the basement for a whole night was really nothing.
There are many sick people in Qiule Manor, but the one who deserves treatment the most is this seemingly normal person. Li Jinxing is the one who deserves treatment the most.
He Tianmo forgot something important. "And Gu Wanqiu, didn't she break her leg and get hurt badly? Is it really okay for you to just ignore her all day? Aren't you afraid that she'll die in there? If she dies, you'll have no one to vent your anger on."
When Gu Wanqiu was mentioned, Li Jinxing clearly reacted, "I'll go see her."
He Tian stood up leisurely holding the child and watched Li Jinxing go up the stairs. His seemingly steady pace was just a cover for the slight nervousness deep in his heart.
He Tian saw Li Jinxing go upstairs, and he sat down again until he could no longer see his figure.
Holding Gu Sui in one hand, he took out his mobile phone with the other hand and quickly connected to the video surveillance on the second floor. He watched Li Jinxing go in and come out shortly afterwards. Then medical staff came in one after another, pushing various medical equipment in.
Li Jinxing stood at the door for a long time, a full half an hour. He Tian was a little bored and pointed his phone screen at Gu Sui in his arms: "Xiao Sui, promise Uncle He that you will not fall in love in the future. You will become a fool..."
Little Gu Sui had not yet learned human language and had no idea what He Tian was saying. He stared blankly at the screen, then finally grinned, with a saliva bubble forming at the corner of his mouth.
He Tian skillfully used a baby tissue to wipe her saliva.
As soon as five o'clock arrived, Gu Sui was hungry. The confinement nanny had prepared the milk powder. Seeing this, He Tian took Gu Sui over. The child was a little unhappy at first and held on to He Tian tightly, not wanting to go to another person's arms. But when he saw the familiar milk bottle in the confinement nanny's hand, he loosened his grip and reached for the bottle obediently.
He Tian stood at the window and continued to stare at the surveillance video. He saw the doctor come out and stand in front of Li Jinxing and say something. Li Jinxing had his back to the camera, so the expression on his face could not be seen. However, the doctor opposite him had a very serious and solemn expression.
The doctor took Li Jinxing inside. About ten minutes later, Li Jinxing came out and seemed a little annoyed. He reached out and tugged at the tie around his neck to loosen it, then took the elevator to the third floor. This time he should be going to see Siyan.
When Li Jin walked into Gu Wanqiu's room, he didn't have any thoughts. He had seen Gu Wanqiu's condition before, and it was very serious, but he gave her medicine to relieve the toxins and pain in her body. Normally, she would be able to survive and would not need to be rescued.
For forty or fifty minutes, the doctor could do nothing inside. It was obvious that Gu Wanqiu's condition was not so serious that she was about to die.
…
When He Tian saw Li Jinxing turn around and go upstairs to see Si Yan, his heart suddenly tightened.
According to Si Yan's personality, he should plead for Gu Wanqiu today.
He Tian walked back and forth a few steps, looking at the surveillance camera and upstairs at the same time. After Li Jinxing entered the house, there was no camera vision, so he could not see anything and could only wonder and worry here alone.
Li Jinxing spent quite a long time inside and had no idea what the situation was like. Although he told Si Yan some tips on asking for help, he didn't know if Si Yan could use them flexibly.
Pretend to be pitiful, use both soft and hard tactics, and combine firmness and flexibility.
Now that Siyan is sick, it is the best time to act pitiful. Let's see how hard Li Jinxing's heart is and how long Siyan can hold on.
He Tian stared at his phone. Suddenly, there was a sound coming from upstairs, as if something was knocked over. He Tian's heart tightened. He put away his phone and hurriedly got on the elevator and pressed the button for the third floor.
When we reached the third floor, the sound became louder and louder. It came from Siyan's room.
What happened was different from what he expected.
As soon as He Tian got off the elevator, he ran towards Siyan's room, rushing forward as fast as he could, fearing that he would be a step late and cause a disaster.
Without even taking a breath, he reached the door, pushed it open, and shouted, "Boss..."
The room was a mess, and the noise he heard downstairs should be the desk being kicked over by Li Jinxing.
