Upon hearing this, Gu Huanian felt extremely guilty. His eyes were bloodshot, and he hadn't slept a wink all night.
"I'm sorry, Ah Li"
"Sorry, it won't work for me. Take your things and leave! Don't delay our house renovation."
If he had explained what happened to her before he left yesterday, and given everyone a little explanation, she wouldn't have been so angry.
They wouldn't have come to this; she couldn't stand being abandoned without any explanation.
Chen Shengnan and Jiang Jin also came out of the room.
In fact, Chen Shengnan had woken up long ago. If it weren't for Jin stopping her and saying that they should talk alone, she would have wanted to slap Gu Huanian long ago.
That jerk abandoned Su Li yesterday.
He dares to come begging for forgiveness today? How dare he? Even if Su Li were as strong-willed as him, no normal person would forgive him.
When Chen Shengnan arrived, she couldn't stop her no matter how hard she tried.
"Slap"
Without saying a word, she slapped Gu Huanian across the face: "Gu Huanian, I used to think you were a good man, but I never expected that you would leave with someone else at the wedding without even thinking about Su Li's situation. You are a selfish piece of trash. You better stay away from her in the future, or I will beat you every time I see you."
Gu Huanian didn't retaliate after being hit by her, nor was he angry. He looked at Su Li with a somewhat dim expression.
"Ah Li, I really didn't mean to. There was an emergency. I wasn't going with Ye Wanyu, but..."
He couldn't continue speaking at this point, because although Lu Yang had been found, there was hardly a single patch of unscathed skin on his body.
He hasn't woken up from his coma yet, and his superiors have ordered that his case be kept confidential until the matter is fully investigated. So he can't say anything about these things yet.
At that time, he went with Ye Wanyu to that mountain range. The first thing he did upon getting into the car was...
Ye Wanyu said to him, "Today I went to the foot of the Lianmian Mountains and saw a person rushing down the mountain. He said there was a man in a cave on the mountain who was about to die. I guessed it must be Lu Yang, so I came to find you as soon as possible."
Gu Huanian stepped on the gas, and the car sped towards the foot of the continuous mountains.
They arrived at their destination quickly. Gu Huanian looked at Ye Wanyu and asked, "Do you know which cave it is?"
Ye Wanyu shook her head; "But I kept an eye out for this and found out that the person who came down the mountain lived at the foot of the mountain. I'll take you there."
The man was indeed not far from the foot of the mountain, and in less than a few minutes, the two arrived at his doorstep.
Gu Huanian stepped forward and knocked on the door, which was quickly opened from the inside.
He was an elderly man who was nearly sixty years old.
The old man was pleasantly surprised to see Ye Wanyu and said with a smile, "Young lady, you've finally come. I really couldn't wait any longer."
The man came out and locked the door. "I'll take you there now. We need to hurry, or I'm worried that person won't be able to hold out for long."
The three of them walked quickly up the mountain. As they walked, Gu Huanian asked the old man, "How did you find him?"
"This morning I was thinking of going up the mountain to pick some mushrooms. I didn't expect to see a man covered in injuries when I passed by that cave. I was thinking of carrying him down, but with my old bones, it's already difficult for me to go up and down the mountain by myself, so carrying him on my back is definitely not an option."
"Just as I was coming down the mountain, I was talking to my old buddies when this comrade next to you overheard me. She said she would find someone to handle it and told me to wait at home for you to arrive."
Half an hour later, the three arrived at the location. As soon as they reached the entrance of the cave, Gu Huanian saw Lu Yang lying motionless inside.
He rushed forward to check the person's breathing, and thankfully, the person was still alive.
Carrying the person on his back, Gu Huanian rushed them to the military hospital as quickly as possible and then reported the incident to his superiors.
He notified Lu Yang's parents, and afterwards, he glanced at his watch; it was already 5 p.m.
He was about to leave when Ye Wanyu stopped him; "Huan Nian, you can't leave now. Look how heartbroken Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu are. Staying here will comfort them. Even if you go back now, the wedding will be over. Why don't you wait until Lu Yang's surgery is over before you go back? I think if you communicate well with Comrade Su then, she will definitely understand."
Lu Yang's surgeries were all finished, and it was already past midnight. The doctor said he might not wake up, as his injuries were too severe and he had been abused.
Lu's parents were heartbroken upon hearing this.
Although Gu Huanian was sad, he could only wait for the result, so he rushed back.
Chen Shengnan scoffed, "And what? Why did you stop there?"
Gu Huanian's thoughts were pulled back; "That's a military secret, I can't say."
Chen Shengnan was almost laughing in anger; "Ha... you left with another woman, and you're telling me it's a secret."
Seeing Su Li's unpleasant expression, Chen Shengnan directly pulled Gu Huanian out, saying, "Get out of here! Nobody wants to see you."
Seeing that she couldn't drag Gu Huanian away, Chen Shengnan said to Jiang Jin, who was standing next to her, "Brother Jiang Jin, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and help me get him out of here."
Jiang Jin was somewhat helpless. He walked up to Gu Huanian, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you should go back first! You and she both need to rest now. Come back when she's calmed down."
Gu Huanian looked at the dark circles under Su Li's eyes and felt a pang of heartache. What happened yesterday had indeed hurt her.
"Ah Li, you should rest well. I'll come again tomorrow."
Su Li ignored him and watched him walk out, turning back to look at her every few steps.
Seeing that he hadn't taken the cookie box from the table, Su Li simply opened the courtyard gate.
When Gu Huanian saw the courtyard gate open, his face was full of joy. He thought that Su Li was ultimately unwilling to let go of their relationship, which was why she opened the gate.
Unexpectedly, Su Li threw the cookie box on the ground and said, "Take your things yourself!"
After saying that, Su Li closed the door.
Gu Huanian squatted down and picked up the cookie box from the ground.
He gently opened it, and the money in the savings book was still the same, and she hadn't used a single penny of the salary he gave her.
This even includes the money from the last house purchase.
She wanted to distance herself from him; she really didn't intend to forgive him.
Only now did he realize that Su Li really didn't want him anymore.
He staggered out, looking lost and dejected, when suddenly he was knocked to the ground by a stick.
He looked up and saw Su Mu, who was holding a stick and had an icy expression on his face. "Gu Huanian, you actually abandoned my sister at the wedding for another woman. I'm going to beat you to death today, you heartless man."
