Chapter 222 Heartbreaking: Internal Strife within the Gu Group
"Ah Xin, don't cry. It's not her place to make decisions for the Gu family yet!"
When Gu Huaikun said this, you could tell he was very angry, and not just ordinary angry.
However, this statement also implies that the Gu family will belong to Gu Mingxia in the future, but it's just not the right time yet.
"Dad...it's all my fault, I've made things difficult for you! Please don't say anything more, there's no need to cause conflict with my sister because of me. I...I'll just pack my things and leave the Gu family, anyway, I'm just an illegitimate child!"
After Ah Xin finished speaking, she made a move to get up and pack her things, but Gu Huaikun grabbed her arm and looked at the pale-faced Gu Mingxia with a serious expression.
"Xiaxia, this is your sister. Even if you don't like her, you don't need to say those nasty things to her! I'm telling you today, if you can't tolerate Axin, then don't ever come back to the Gu family again!"
"Do you think I wanted to come back? If I hadn't gone to Lan Garden to find some of my mother's things, do you think I would have wanted to come back to face you? Let me tell you, even if you beg me to come back to the Gu family, I won't. You two can just enjoy your fatherly love and filial piety!"
Gu Mingxia suppressed her strong nausea and ran all the way to Lan Garden. Nan Ze said he had found something and asked her to go to Lan Garden to look for Nan Lan's things. Gu Mingxia also remembered that Fu Heng had said that Cai Feng and A Xin were now working together to plot against the Gu family's property, so she wanted to come and remind Gu Huaikun. She never expected it to end like this.
She really felt foolish for even thinking of reminding her. What business was it of hers what happened to the Gu family? Hadn't Gu Huaikun already kicked her out of the Gu family? Why had she been so soft-hearted towards Gu Huaikun lately? This was definitely not a good sign!
That's fine. Now that Gu Huaikun has said such a thing, she no longer needs to go back to the Gu family, nor does she need to worry about them. If A Xin wants to scheme against the Gu family, then let her scheme. It has nothing to do with her!
She had been tolerant of A Xin out of consideration for Gu Huaikun, but now it seemed there was no need for that at all! Since A Xin wanted to deal with her, she would no longer show her any mercy!
Upon arriving at the Orchid Garden, Gu Mingxia leaned against an osmanthus tree and vomited violently. After vomiting for a while, she finally felt a little better.
Gu Mingxia looked up and wiped her mouth. She glanced around the clean and tidy orchid garden and suddenly felt a sense of loss and change.
This place is still the same Lan Garden as before, but she can no longer find the warmth she once had, nor can she find her loving mother and her beloved younger brother.
The Gu family... from now on, they will have nothing to do with her anymore. From now on, her only family will be the child in her womb! Gu Mingxia placed her hand on her lower abdomen and instantly decided to keep the child in her womb.
After entering Nan Lan's former bedroom, Gu Mingxia rummaged through everything and finally gathered all of Nan Lan's belongings before putting them in a box and taking them with her.
Once outside the Gu family villa, Gu Mingxia didn't look back this time. She got into her car and drove away, never to return!
Upon arriving at the hospital, Gu Mingxia thought for a moment and then called Nan Ze.
"Cousin, do you have time to come to Xiangcheng?"
"The company is busy with the marketing department's annual summary recently, so I might not have time."
"How about this, I'll go to Linghai in a couple of days."
Gu Mingxia felt that some things were better resolved as soon as possible, so she planned to take everything she had taken from Lanyuan to Linghai.
"Okay, call me when you arrive."
"Okay, then I won't disturb your work any longer. Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingxia leaned back on the sofa, staring at the white wall opposite her with a blank expression on her face.
This period has been really tiring, but since she made up her mind to keep this child, she suddenly felt much calmer. Perhaps... her decision to keep this baby was the right one. No matter what her relationship with Xiao Yan is like, this child is ultimately her flesh and blood, and this child is also her only family in this world!
"Mingxia, do you want to go see Fu Heng? He just woke up."
Liu Qianhua came to her side and, seeing her like this, spoke cautiously.
"He's awake! I'll go check on him!"
Gu Mingxia pulled herself out of her thoughts, stood up calmly, turned around and left the ward. Even the usually carefree Liu Qianhua could sense that Gu Mingxia was in a low mood. She frowned slightly, but still followed her to Fu Heng's ward.
"You're awake?"
Are you alright?
After entering the ward, the two spoke at the same time. Gu Mingxia looked at Fu Heng's pale face, and Fu Heng looked at her slightly tired expression. The two were stunned at first, and then smiled at each other.
"I'm fine, just a little weak!"
Gu Mingxia picked up an apple from the bedside table and carefully began to peel it. Although Fu Heng had woken up, his face was still pale due to excessive blood loss. He looked at Gu Mingxia's calm and gentle face with tenderness in his eyes.
"You need to rest well. You need to know that you are not alone anymore."
"You knew all along?"
Fu Heng nodded. As soon as he woke up, Fu Bo let slip that Gu Mingxia was pregnant. Fu Rong originally thought he would be very unhappy, but after listening, he just paused for a moment and then smiled elegantly and said something.
"That's good. She used to love children so much, but now she doesn't have any relatives left. Having a child of her own will make her life easier in the future!"
But Gu Mingxia knew none of this, and given Fu Heng's personality, he would never tell her!
"For the past few days, I've been hesitant about whether or not to keep this child, but just now, I suddenly decided to keep him because he is my closest person, a family member with my blood! I must give birth to him properly, protect him, and take care of him so he can grow up healthily!"
Gu Mingxia said these words to Fu Heng for some reason, but after hearing them, Fu Heng frowned slightly. Was she implying that he had absolutely no chance?
But what does it matter? As long as Gu Mingxia is happy, she can be with whomever she wants. Whether that person is him or not is not the point at all.
"That's good. Now that you've decided to keep the child, you'll have to take good care of yourself. You must always remember that you're not alone!"
"Yes, you need to take good care of yourself in the future, and don't push yourself too hard! There are so many brothers in the Fu family, you don't need to take on everything. So many years have passed, it's time for you to rest!"
Gu Mingxia peeled the apple in a sullen voice, her words also sounding muffled. The scene resembled a life-or-death separation between two people.
"Yeah, you too. A woman should be gentle and weak, not too strong. When there is a man to rely on, you should know how to rely on him. Don't do everything yourself. Otherwise, what do you need us men for? Just to stand tall and look good?"
Fu Heng's words made Gu Mingxia chuckle, and the originally dull atmosphere immediately lightened. Gu Mingxia handed him the peeled apple and took a pear to eat herself.
"By the way, when are you planning to be discharged from the hospital?"
"It's quite convenient to stay in the hospital, why are you suddenly asking this?"
"It's nothing, I just heard from my second brother that there's a lot of infighting going on in the Gu Group right now, and I was wondering what your opinion is on that."
"What opinion could I possibly have? Whether the Gu family is doing well or badly has absolutely nothing to do with me. You know I was expelled from the Gu family seven years ago. What does the Gu family's internal strife have to do with me now?"
Gu Mingxia said nonchalantly, and Fu Heng was taken aback at first, then smiled.
"What's wrong? Are you still throwing a tantrum at Uncle Gu?"
"I'm tired, I'm going back to rest now. I'll come see you again tomorrow!"
Gu Mingxia picked up the pear and got up to leave. Liu Qianhua followed beside her, glanced at Fu Heng, and then spoke.
Are you feeling better?
Fu Heng pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then looked at her seriously.
"I'm very grateful that you donated blood and saved my life, but I can't go back with you to have a fake wedding. My principles won't allow me to do such a thing. But if you ever need anything in the future, I will do everything I can to help you. Except for a fake marriage!"
Liu Qianhua smiled bitterly. She had never thought of using her blood donation to Fu Heng to blackmail him into doing anything.
"Don't worry, I would donate blood even to a complete stranger."
After saying that, Liu Qianhua lowered her head and followed Gu Mingxia out. Fu Heng watched her back and frowned thoughtfully.
Gu's Group, high-level meeting.
"I think we should suspend our recent real estate project. The national policies are unclear, and it would be a mistake to develop a high-end villa area on a large scale right now!"
"I disagree with what you said. Despite the unclear national policies, high-end villa areas are still the choice of many wealthy people. We have done some surveys, and 80% of the city's elites tend to choose high-end villas!"
"But how many elites are there in the city? You're using less than 30 percent of those elites to develop a massive high-end villa district. Let me tell you, that's a complete waste of the company's money!"
"I……"
"Alright! Stop arguing in every meeting. It's giving everyone a headache!"
Gu Huaikun rubbed his temples. He had rarely come to the company recently, only once or twice a month for a meeting. But he never expected that every time he came, he would hear these senior executives arguing incessantly, which made him feel anxious and had a headache!
"Chairman, you need to think this through. The development of this high-end villa area really can't continue!"
"Chairman, this development project is already 40% complete. Stopping it now would be a huge loss!"
"What nonsense are you spouting! When undertaking big projects, you have to know when to cut your losses! If you continue like this, you'll only suffer greater losses!"
"Enough! Everyone, stop talking! I'll decide whether to continue or stop this villa development project! If you keep arguing like this in meetings, you can all resign and leave the company! I'm not paying you to argue with me every day!"
