Chapter 53 Trauma
7 p.m.
When Gu Jingcheng pushed open the door and walked in, the private room was bustling with activity.
They are all familiar friends, whom I've known since childhood.
When he was a kid, he played the emperor in a game.
Jiang Kai, congratulations! Dai Ming and the others drew lots to see who would become the emperor's eunuch.
Suddenly remembering things from the past, Gu Jingcheng's chaotic thoughts seemed to find some direction.
"Brother Jing, over here."
Jiang Kai waved, gesturing for him to come to the card table.
As Gu Jingcheng approached, someone immediately stood up and made way for the four people.
The man sat down and picked up a hand of cards.
My luck is off the charts.
Congratulations! He said, "Now that you've brought Brother Jing, what's the point of us fighting?"
"I'm about to sell my newly bought sports car."
From childhood to adulthood, Gu Jingcheng had a knack for playing cards, especially with his friends.
I've only lost a few times.
The worse his mood, the harder he wins.
On the contrary, when I'm in a good mood, I take a break and relax.
After Gu Jingcheng won three games in a row, the others looked pale and sickly.
Jiang Kai looked at Gu Jingcheng and begged for mercy, "Brother Jing, please have mercy! I've lost everything!"
Gu Jingcheng smiled jokingly, feeling a little better.
Just then, the door to the private room opened.
Qi Yu came in, with a scratch on his face.
Jiang Kai exclaimed "Holy crap!"
She stood up and asked, "Brother Qi, you're not really having an affair with a married woman, are you?"
She was caught cheating by someone else's husband. His face looks like it was scratched by her.
Congratulations were being watched from the sidelines.
Just now, the guys were gossiping about Qi Yu, saying that he had taken a fancy to a married woman.
She insisted on becoming a male mistress.
He really couldn't understand what had possessed Qi Yu.
He hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Brother Qi, what kind of magic does this woman possess?"
They're already married, why bother?
They're friends who grew up together; how could they see each other heading down a dead end?
The Qi family is a prominent family in Jiangcheng; the grandfather is a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
Both parents own their own companies.
Even Qi Yu started his own business and is now the CEO of an e-sports company.
If this were exposed, it would be like this: someone interfered in someone else's marriage and became a male mistress.
The consequences are unimaginable.
Gu Jingcheng looked up and glanced at it as well.
There was indeed a small scratch on Qi Yu's face.
He was also a little curious.
Half an hour ago, when he arrived, Jiang Kai and Zhu He mysteriously told him some gossip.
Qi Yu has taken a liking to a woman who is already married.
These days...
Gu Jingcheng was concerned because Lin Wei was Shi Yanzhou's girlfriend.
Torn by moral turmoil,
Unexpectedly, Qi Yu was even more so.
There is always a higher mountain than the one above.
He felt inexplicably comforted.
After all, he had never had his face scratched by Shi Yanzhou...

Lin Wei entered Su Qing's ward.
Looking at her lying quietly on the bed,
There was a needle stuck in the back of his hand.
His face was pale and he was weak and listless.
My heart skipped a beat.
Her mother was pampered by her maternal grandparents.
A true princess who was pampered and spoiled by her father for decades.
If you have a smooth and successful life, your biggest worry might be which set of jewelry to wear each day.
When she was born, her father doted on her immensely.
For my mother, her father's sudden arrest was like the sky falling down.
She was completely prepared to faint and be hospitalized.
"mom,"
Lin Wei walked to the bedside, her voice soft.
Su Qing's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing her daughter sitting by her bedside, her eyes instantly filled with tears.
"slight……"
"Mom, I'm here."
Lin Wei offered a soft word of comfort.
Su Qing held her hand tightly.
"Mom is fine."
Su Qing's voice was choked with sobs.
"Weiwei, Mom is so sorry!"
I was completely fooled by Lin Yan before! I treated her like my own daughter.
You even suffered so much because of her... because of her!
"I was so foolish! I was completely fooled by her and believed everything she said. I actually trusted a complete stranger."
I don't like my own biological daughter... I..."
A wave of overwhelming guilt washed over Su Qing, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Weiwei... Mom was wrong... really wrong..."
Lin Wei felt a pang of sadness.
In her past life, her mother was deceived by Lin Yan until the very end.
They even indirectly became accomplices.
It's not a bad thing for her that her mother was able to wake up in this life.
However, my mother showed favoritism and dislike towards me during those years.
Like a thorn, it was deeply embedded in her heart.
After she had her own child for ten months,
It's really hard to understand why her mother would treat her like that.
Is it really just because of Lin Yan's instigation?
She had hoped to receive her mother's love before, but her mother gave all her love to Lin Yan.
It was as if they were the biological mother and daughter.
Lin Wei wasn't sure if the wounds in her heart could ever heal.
But seeing her mother's weak state, she could only offer words of comfort first.
"Mom, it's all in the past. Lin Yan's intentions were impure."
Don't believe her anymore.
Su Qing's eyes were filled with guilt; she knew her daughter had a thorn in her heart.
She was bewitched.
"Okay, I'm sorry you've suffered all these years."
Su Qing paused for a moment,
"Weiwei, what about your dad...?"
How do we get him out?
"I'll figure out what to do about Dad. You just focus on getting better."
Just then, the ward door was pushed open.
Lin Wei assumed it was Lin Yan returning with water and composed herself.
But then Shi Yanzhou walked in carrying a fruit basket and a bunch of carnations.
He was wearing a blue casual suit, a far cry from his usual serious doctor's expression, and had a warm smile on his face.
"Auntie, are you feeling better?"
Su Qing looked at Shi Yanzhou, her glasses flashing.
"Yanzhou is here. Auntie is feeling much better. Thank you for coming to see me."
Shi Yanzhou is someone she watched grow up. He comes from a good family, has good character, and grew up with Weiwei since childhood!
"Of course, Auntie."
Shi Yanzhou's gaze fell on Lin Wei's slightly tired profile, and a pang of heartache rose in his heart.
He naturally took the water glass from Lin Wei's hand.
"Let me do it. You take a rest. Have you been eating properly lately?"
"Weiwei, I think I forgot to pick up a report. Why don't you go with Yanzhou?"
"good."
Lin Wei stood up.
Watching the two figures leave, Su Qing felt a little more at ease.
In the hospital corridor, many young nurses passing by looked at Shi Yanzhou, who was dressed in casual clothes.
They couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Jiangcheng Hospital's "high-and-mighty flower" usually has a cold and aloof demeanor.
He was surprisingly gentle and considerate in carrying a woman's bag.
Could it be his girlfriend?
"Brother Yanzhou, I can do it myself."
Lin Wei felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
Shi Yanzhou persisted.
"I'll help you. By the way, Weiwei, tonight... is my birthday. I've organized a small gathering."
Can you... come? Just to relax a bit?
"A caregiver is looking after Auntie here; I'll make the arrangements."
Lin Wei looked up and met Shi Yanzhou's expectant eyes.
Subconscious rejection.
She's so preoccupied with her father's case that she has no time for anything else.
"Happy birthday, Yanzhou! But... I..."
"Go ahead, they're all childhood friends, some of them you know too."
Jiang Kai, Gu Jingcheng, and Shi Nuan will also be there.
How long are you two planning to stop arguing?
Lin Wei lowered her eyes; Gu Jingcheng was also there.
It's still warm sometimes.
Lin Wei knew that Shi Nuan had suffered a lot of grievances in those years because of her love-obsessed nature.
After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Okay."
