At the hospital.
Rong Mo, along with Shen Zhi Qiu and Lu Jia Gang, pushed open the door and saw Mu Zi Qi asleep on the sofa.
When Gu Suian saw Shen Zhi Qiu, his drowsy eyes instantly brightened.
Shen Zhi Qiu quickly pointed in Mu Zi Qi's direction, signaling Gu Suian not to make a sound, and then tiptoed in.
Slowly walking to the bedside, Shen Zhi Qiu sat down in a chair beside him, looking at Gu Suian with a worried expression, and whispered, "Dad, are you alright?"
She sighed again, "I wasn't feeling well before, so I couldn't come to see you and Mom. Luckily, my brother keeps me updated on your situation. Otherwise, I would have been so worried."
"It's good that you're all doing much better now, otherwise I wouldn't dare let you meet."
Rong Mo stepped forward, lowered his voice, and patted Shen Zhi Qiu on the shoulder.
Lu Jia followed behind, gently placing the insulated lunchbox on the table. Gu Suian nodded to him in greeting.
"Thank you so much, Xiao Mo. You've been working so hard these past few days, constantly running back and forth between the hospital and home. Working is tiring enough as it is. Thankfully, the doctor said you can be discharged next week. Your aunt and I are going back home now, so we don't want to trouble you any further."
Seeing that Rong Mo had also arrived, Gu Suian sat up slightly, a look of guilt on her face.
"Besides, Zhi Qiu, you didn't need to make a special trip. You're not fully recovered yet, and it would only make your parents worry about you coming all this way," Gu Suian said, looking at Shen Zhi Qiu with some concern.
"Dad, please don't say that." Shen Zhi Qiu stepped forward and pulled the blanket up a little to cover Gu Suian's hands. "You and Mom have always treated me like your own daughter. How can your daughter not come to visit you when you are in the hospital?"
Suddenly, Mu Ziqi's phone vibrated.
Mu Ziqi had her eyes closed and was still not fully awake. Her hand unconsciously began to grope for her phone beside her.
"Hello?" Mu Ziqi answered the phone with her eyes closed. "Qingyan, what's wrong?"
Unsure of what the other person said, Mu Ziqi replied, "Then just buy some light side dishes."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Ziqi heard Shen Zhiqi's voice.
Mu Ziqi suddenly opened her eyes and was stunned for a moment. Then she quickly threw off the small blanket on her body, put on her slippers, and walked towards Shen Zhiqi.
"Mom, don't worry." Shen Zhi Qiu was about to stand up while holding onto the bedside when Lu Jia quickly stepped forward to support her, not wanting her to exert any effort.
When Mu Ziqi walked up to Shen Zhiqi, she looked Shen Zhiqi up and down, but before she could say a word, her eyes were already red, and the next second, hot tears slid down her face.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry." Shen Zhi Qiu pursed her lips, took Mu Zi Qi's hand, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Our family has wronged you, Zhi Qiu," Mu Ziqi said with difficulty. "We're already so grateful that you can forgive your parents for not taking good care of you. And now you're still willing to come see us... I..."
Mu Ziqi choked back tears and turned her face away, wiping them with her sleeve.
"Mom, it's all in the past. It wasn't your or Dad's fault, so don't blame yourself for everything. Look, I'm standing right in front of you, all right now, aren't I?" Shen Zhi Qiu said coquettishly, gently shaking Mu Zi Qi's hand with a relieved smile on her face.
"No matter what, Mom and Dad will take Qingyan away this time. They won't let him come to the capital alone to bother you anymore. Qingyan has already agreed, so don't worry."
As Mu Ziqi spoke, she sighed, gently patted Shen Zhiqiu's hand, and said with emotion, "In the end, our family is not blessed enough to keep you with us. Zhiqiu, you must live a happy life, you know? If there is anything your parents can do to help you, you must tell us. Although Qingyan has divorced you, your parents will always treat you like their own daughter."
----------
On his way to the hospital, Gu Qingyan suddenly received a call from Gu Ningning.
"Hey bro, are you still in the capital?"
"Ningning? Where are you?" Gu Qingyan hung up when he saw it was an unknown number, but then another call came in, so he answered it. He never expected it to be Gu Ningning.
"Brother, I'm in the airport restroom. I'm being forced to go back to Nancheng, but I'm so scared. Brother, can you help me?" Gu Ningning's voice was somewhat panicked.
"Wait here, don't be afraid, I'll have Huang Lin come pick you up right away," Gu Qingyan said, glancing at Huang Lin beside him.
"No need, brother. I already told the girl who lent me the phone. She's about my size."
"If you transfer 10,000 yuan to her now, she'll immediately switch clothes with me, and I can easily sneak out in disguise. She can just wear my clothes and pretend to be me."
"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you right away. Then I'll have Huang Lin pick you up at the airport. Go to the underground parking lot at the entrance and find a secluded corner to hide in. Huang Lin will come to find you."
Gu Qingyan pondered for a second and immediately came up with a solution.
Out of guilt towards Gu Ningning, Gu Qingyan agreed without hesitation. At this moment, all he wanted was to take Gu Ningning back.
Gu Ningning felt a surge of emotion, but remembering the conversation she had overheard between Wei Qiao and the bodyguard, she couldn't help but suppress her smile.
"Okay, thanks, bro. I'll send it to you right away. Hurry up, or the bodyguards might come in and arrest me if I don't leave for a long time," Gu Ningning said in a low voice.
After finishing the call, Gu Ningning walked out of the toilet stall and returned the phone to the little girl standing at the door.
"Thank you, my brother will transfer the money to you right away. Please send the bank card number to this number!" Gu Ningning said as she handed over the phone. "Also, please take off your coat and change into it with me. And I want your hat too." The girl had just taken the phone when she hurriedly urged the other girl to change clothes with her.
"Wait a minute, I need to receive the money first before I can exchange it with you." After sending the card number, the girl gripped her phone tightly, waiting for a message.
Soon, she received a text message from the bank notifying her that the money had been deposited into her account.
"Alright, alright! I've received the money, now hurry up and give me the clothes."
The girl looked at the text message with a look of surprise and delight. She never expected the money to come so quickly. Afraid that Gu Ningning would change her mind, she immediately took off her coat and then pulled off her own hat and handed it to Gu Ningning, urging, "Put this on quickly, and get ready to go out. I'll go out a little later."
After changing her clothes, Gu Ningning pulled the brim of her hat down and quickly walked out of the restroom.
To her surprise, just as she reached the door, someone grabbed her sleeve.
