Chapter 287 Decision, Xiao Yan's Choice
Ignoring her own pregnant belly, Gu Mingxia ran to Gu Huaikun, knelt down, and trembled as she grasped his hands. But he had already died from the blow to his temple.
Only Nan Lan, not far away, looked at Gu Mingxia with longing eyes. She moved her lips and called out her name with great effort.
"Xiaxia".
Gu Mingxia's face was covered in tears. She looked at Nan Lan and suddenly seemed dazed. Then she knelt down and moved to Nan Lan's side.
"Mom, you're Mom!"
"Xiaxia, I'm sorry, Mom is so sorry for you and...Adong. Don't hate Mom, Mom's heart is also aching!"
Gu Mingxia nodded. Everyone has their own troubles, but who has ever thought about hers?
Seeing Nan Lan like this now, Gu Mingxia realized that she didn't hate her as much as she had imagined.
"Mom, I don't hate you, I don't hate you. Don't say anything, I'm taking you to the hospital..."
"It's no use... My constitution has changed, and even the hospital couldn't save me with their blood. Xiaxia... You must be happy, you must take good care of yourself. Mom... I'm sorry!"
Nan Lan reached out to touch Gu Mingxia's face, but her hand fell limply to the ground before she could reach it.
"Mother……"
Gu Mingxia's cry of "Mom!" was heart-wrenching. Although she didn't know what had happened to Nan Lan to make her like this, Gu Mingxia believed that Nan Lan must have regretted it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to come back even knowing that there would be danger in Xiangcheng. Gu Mingxia gently put down Nan Lan's body and looked at Gu Huaikun's body not far away. In just a short while, she had lost both her father and mother, and from now on, she would truly be all alone.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingxia took out her phone and dialed Xiao Yan's number.
"Xiao Yan, I'm at Lanxinyuan. Can you come and pick me up? Song Jia is at the door. Come in with him."
Gu Mingxia didn't call Song Jia directly, but instead called Xiao Yan. She didn't want to end up like her parents, only realizing how important the other person was to her when they died.
"Okay, I'll be right there. You'll have to wait for me."
Xiao Yan hung up the phone and immediately drove towards Lanxinyuan. He soon arrived at the gate and saw Song Jia standing next to a car smoking.
"Song Jia, is Xia Xia still inside?"
"Yeah, the goddess hasn't shown up yet."
Song Jia was surprised to see Xiao Yan appear, but she was also happy for Gu Mingxia. As long as the two of them reconciled, the baby would not be without a father after birth, and Gu Mingxia would be able to find her true happiness.
"Xiaxia called me and asked you to take me to her."
"Okay, let's go now."
Song Jia threw down his cigarette butt, stomped it out, and led Xiao Yan inside. They soon arrived at where Gu Mingxia was. Xiao Yan immediately saw Gu Mingxia kneeling on the ground, heavily pregnant, surrounded by a sea of blood. Gu Huaikun and Nan Lan were lying beside her, and her clothes had numerous black holes.
"Did something happen to the goddess?"
Before Song Jia could react, Xiao Yan had already rushed over and pulled Gu Mingxia to the side. Her hands looked like they had been corroded by something, with small holes everywhere, and her clothes were also covered in holes of all sizes.
"Xiaxia, what's wrong? What happened? Tell me, don't scare me, okay?"
Xiao Yan held Gu Mingxia in his arms, rambling on and on about things he himself didn't know. Gu Mingxia's dazed and confused state made him feel an indescribable heartache.
She lost both her father and mother!
She used to think she would hate Gu Huaikun very much, but now that Gu Huaikun is really dead, Gu Mingxia feels that a big piece of her heart is empty. She always hates her father who loves her the most, but she never thought that if there was no indulgent love, how could she hate so wantonly?
She also lost her mother. Gu Mingxia had been searching for the truth behind her mother's death all along, and now she finally knew the so-called truth, but Gu Mingxia was not happy at all.
So what if Nanlan? So what if Amei? As long as her mother is alive, what does it matter if she becomes a different person?
In the end, that person is still alive, isn't she? But now she has lost both her mother and father, and she has truly become a so-called orphan, which makes Gu Mingxia's heart ache with hatred.
"Xiaxia, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will be by your side! With me here, you won't get hurt!"
Xiao Yan held me, Gu Mingxia, tightly. The feeling of losing something and then regaining it was so precious to him!
Gu Mingxia, who was in his arms, suddenly realized what was happening, looked up at Xiao Yan's familiar face, and burst into tears.
"Little Swallow, why did you take so long to come! I've lost my father and mother, and now I'm an orphan! I... I'm so sad!"
"No, Xiaxia, you won't become an orphan. You still have me, and our daughter! We will form a family together in the future, a loving family!"
Seeing Gu Mingxia like this, Xiao Yan decided that their family would definitely be happy in the future, and their daughter would never have to go through the same experience as Gu Mingxia!
"I...I..."
Gu Mingxia fainted without saying a word. Xiao Yan hurriedly picked her up and ran outside.
"Song Jia, call the police immediately. Stay here and deal with Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu's matter. I'll take Xiaxia to the hospital."
"Okay, you hurry up and take the goddess to the hospital, I'll take care of things here!"
Song Jia was also very anxious when he saw that Gu Mingxia had fainted. He called the police while signaling Xiao Yan to go to the hospital quickly.
As Xiao Yan drove at high speed, he kept glancing at Gu Mingxia lying in the back seat. His heart was in his throat. Gu Mingxia was pregnant with their daughter, and if anything happened to her, Xiao Yan felt he would regret it to death!
She regretted not being by Gu Mingxia's side for so long, and not even knowing that she was pregnant and had to face so many things happening in the Gu family!
And yet, he was still blaming Gu Mingxia for not forgiving him, without considering that if he hadn't done something to hurt Gu Mingxia, why would she have refused to forgive him for so long?
But blaming herself is useless; the best thing to do now is to take Gu Mingxia to the hospital immediately.
After overtaking and running red lights all the way, Xiao Yan finally got Gu Mingxia to Maria Hospital. Only after watching her being taken to the emergency room did Xiao Yan sit down on a chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
He had always known that he loved Gu Mingxia deeply, but he never imagined that his feelings were so profound. Indeed, many feelings only become truly precious in the face of adversity.
After enduring countless fears along the way, Xiao Yan had come to a clear understanding that if Gu Mingxia were to die, he would certainly not survive either.
Nothing is more important than Gu Mingxia. He would give up everything for Gu Mingxia!
With that thought in mind, Xiao Yan took out his phone from his pocket, pulled up a number, hesitated for a moment, then opened the text message interface, quickly typed a few words, and clicked send. Only after the message was sent did Xiao Yan breathe a sigh of relief.
"Stop all actions against the Gu family! Halt all plans!"
This single message made Xiao Yan abandon what he had been planning for so many years, and erased all the pain he had endured over the years. But Xiao Yan did not regret it at all!
If Gu Mingxia is gone, what's the point of him getting revenge? Everything is in the past. Even if he gets revenge, those people can't come back to life. He is a living person. As long as the living person tries to live a good and fulfilling life, that's enough. As for other things like revenge, they are like fleeting clouds and it's better to give them up!
Xiaxia, as long as you are safe, I will tell you everything. I will never hide anything from you again, never!
Xiao Yan secretly vowed in his heart, and just as he was worrying, Fu Heng rushed over.
"How is Mingxia? Is she alright?"
"We don't know yet, the doctor hasn't come out."
Sitting next to Xiao Yan, Fu Heng also looked worried, his brows furrowed as he stared at the closed doors of the emergency room.
"What exactly happened? Wasn't Mingxia supposed to be taking care of the family and resting during her pregnancy? Why was she suddenly sent to the hospital?"
“I don’t know the specifics, I only know that she called me and asked me to pick her up at Lanxinyuan. When I arrived, I saw Xiaxia kneeling on the ground, while Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu were lying on the ground, already dead for some time. I’ve already asked Song Jia to call the police to handle the details of how they died.”
Xiao Yan spoke simply, but Fu Heng frowned deeply as he listened.
He really wanted to ask Xiao Yan how he was being a boyfriend, since he didn't even know what had happened to his girlfriend. But when he turned his head and saw the worry on Xiao Yan's face, Fu Heng didn't say anything to blame her. He just sighed helplessly.
"Mingxia's life is considered unfortunate even among the wealthy! I really don't know what problems she will have to face in the future!"
"No matter what problems we face, I will stay by her side and protect her from any harm!"
