Chapter 91 Old Master Gu
Zhu Cuihua was always worried about Gu Yanxiao and the others, feeling that their presence in the capital and at the hospital was not a good thing.
So, after much deliberation, she went to the hospital and, in the ward where Gu Yanxiao was hospitalized, pulled aside a nurse and began asking her about Gu Yanxiao.
Faced with Zhu Cuihua's various probing questions, the nurse finally said impatiently, "Ma'am, you are not a family member of the patient, so we cannot disclose the patient's condition. Please understand."
"Who said I'm not a patient's family member? Besides, I was just asking Gu Yanxiao if she was going to have surgery. I didn't ask anything that needed to be kept secret. Why are you being so secretive? You little girl, don't you understand any social etiquette?"
When Zhu Cuihua saw that a mere nurse dared to refuse her, her face darkened, and she threatened in a cold voice, "You're just a nurse, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?"
"She doesn't know who you are, but I do. Shall I introduce you to everyone?"
Just then, Su Xiangwan walked over, supporting her waist, and looked at Zhu Cuihua with a mocking gaze.
"Judging from what you just said, you're claiming to be Yan Xiao's family member! Could it be that the Gu family wants to acknowledge us as relatives again? If that's the case..."
Upon hearing Su Xiangwan's words, Zhu Cuihua's expression changed drastically. She jumped up and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense! Who wants to be related to you? We have no relation whatsoever. Don't try to claim kinship with us!"
Su Xiangwan scoffed, looking at her flustered and pale face, and said, "But, just now I heard you and this nurse say that you are a family member of my Yan Xiao!"
"You...you're mistaken, I didn't say that."
Zhu Cuihua cursed her bad luck inwardly. She had clearly seen Su Xiangwan leave before coming over to inquire about the situation.
How could I possibly run into them?
Thinking of this, she didn't bother to say anything else, simply left those words behind, and turned to leave.
Upon witnessing this scene, Dean Song, who was not far away, finally understood why Gu Yanxiao had asked him to keep his upcoming surgery a secret.
Clearly, things aren't peaceful inside the Gu family either!
Indeed, I heard that after Gu Yanxiao was injured, Gu Yanfeng from the second branch of the Gu family couldn't wait to take advantage of Gu Yanxiao's previous achievements and was having a great time in the military region.
Therefore, the second branch of the Gu family naturally did not want to see Gu Yanxiao have a successful surgery and return to the military region.
Regardless of whether he returns to the military region, if Chief Gu knew that Gu Yanxiao's surgery was successful, he would definitely make a move to bring the eldest branch of the Gu family back into the Gu family.
After all, the incident of the tail-cutting meeting is in the past.
The policies are gradually changing. The Su family's affairs would have been nothing if Cao Huai-ren hadn't been targeting them so intently.
Thinking of this, Dean Song gently patted Gu Yanxiao's shoulder and said, "Yanxiao, don't think too much. Take good care of yourself. In a few days, you can have the surgery. With experts from the United States, I believe your surgery will be successful."
Gu Yanxiao saw the deep sympathy in Dean Song's eyes and couldn't help but twitch her lips. She said, "Thank you, Dean Song. I also believe that the experts from the United States will be able to perform the surgery perfectly for me."
That's my own brother-in-law. If I don't trust him, who can I trust?
After speaking, Gu Yanxiao nodded to Dean Song, turned around and walked to Su Xiangwan's side, considerately supporting her shoulder, and said, "Didn't I tell you to rest at home? Why did you come over?"
Su Xiangwan smiled gently and said, "I was bored at home, so I came to see what the test results said?"
After waking up, Aunt Liu said that Gu Yanxiao had come alone to pick up the test results. Su Xiangwan was also anxious to know the results, so she simply came over.
Fortunately, she came; otherwise, dealing with someone as shameless as Zhu Cuihua would have been quite troublesome for Gu Yanxiao.
Whether in terms of seniority or gender, Gu Yanxiao is at a disadvantage, so it is most appropriate for her to step forward.
"Dean Song said that the bullet is still in its original position, and all of his physical indicators are perfect. Once Second Brother arrives, we can proceed with the surgery immediately."
Gu Yanxiao protected her to prevent her from being bumped by passersby while talking to her in a low voice.
"That's good." Hearing this, Su Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief. Now everything was ready, and she just had to wait for her second brother to arrive before everything would be perfect.
After being driven away by Su Xiangwan, Zhu Cuihua felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it.
Su Xiangwan looked completely unaffected. Could it be that Gu Yanxiao really was going to have surgery?
Thinking of this, she felt a wave of fear wash over her. She rushed home and, as soon as she entered the house, cried out, "Jianjun... Jianjun, that damned Gu..."
Before Gu Yanxiao could even utter the three words, he saw Old Master Gu sitting in the hall drinking tea, and his expression immediately changed. He was so frightened that he stood still and dared not speak again.
"Is there something you need?"
Old Master Gu looked at his second daughter-in-law, a hint of displeasure flashing through his mind, but he ultimately did not show it.
He didn't approve of Gu Jianjun marrying Zhu Cuihua back then.
Since Gu Jianjun liked it, his father couldn't interfere too much.
Anyway, it'll just be the two of them spending their lives together.
But facts have proven the old saying, "Marrying an unvirtuous wife ruins three generations." The second son's wife has almost completely disgraced the Gu family.
Old Master Gu had heard rumors about Zhu Cuihua and Cao Huai Ren.
However, Gu Jianjun pulled Zhu Cuihua to kneel in front of him and swore that these were all rumors deliberately spread by his political enemies.
Seeing his elderly son and daughter-in-law crying their eyes out, Old Master Gu naturally believed them.
After all, his son was a person in a high position.
You can't possibly be cheated on and then just swallow your anger and even help your wife cover it up!
Perhaps, as they say, it is the second son's political enemies who deliberately use such underhanded tactics to sow discord within the Gu family.
The Gu family has now expelled the eldest son's branch of the family and severed all ties with him.
Only the second wife remains.
If something happens to the second wife, wouldn't all his hard work throughout his life be in vain, with no one to carry on his legacy?
Thinking of his successor, Old Master Gu's eyes glazed over again, and he couldn't help but think of his eldest grandson, Gu Yanxiao.
This eldest grandson, whom he has been proud of since childhood...
