"I am truly sorry. It is my fault for failing to raise my children properly, which has caused Zhi Qiu to suffer so much."
Gu Suian looked at Rong Hong, let out a long sigh, and could not hide his shame.
Mu Ziqi's face was as white as paper. She felt sorry for Gu Qingyan, but she felt even more sorry for Shen Zhi Qiu. Her eyes involuntarily reddened. She gritted her teeth and looked at Rong Mo, saying, "Could you let me go see Zhi Qiu? I'm very worried about her."
Seeing Mu Ziqi's genuine concern for his younger sister, Rong Mo couldn't help but sigh and said, "Auntie, I know you cherish Zhi Qiu, so I have always respected you and Uncle."
But the doctor is examining Zhi Qiu right now, so please wait a little while.
"I'll go upstairs and ask Zhi Qiu in a bit, see how she's doing, and then we'll decide."
"Okay, I'll wait here for a bit," Mu Ziqi quickly replied.
“President Rong,” Gu Suian began with some difficulty, “I have a favor to ask.”
As soon as Gu Suian opened his mouth, Rong Hong guessed what he was going to say. He had also heard that Gu Qingyan's parents treated Shen Zhi Qiu very well and always protected her, so he didn't want to make things difficult for them.
But thinking about how much Shen Zhi Qiu had suffered, and with the culprit right in front of him, he still couldn't swallow his anger. "You can take Gu Qing Yan away, but I have a few conditions."
“Please speak, Mr. Rong.” Gu Suian was filled with guilt. Upon hearing Rong Hong’s words, she immediately stated her position, “We will accept any request. This matter is something our family has wronged Zhi Qiu. We will accept all your requests.”
"First, Gu Qingyan is not allowed to come to the capital to harass my daughter again."
Previously, Zhi Qiu had promised that Gu Qingyan could come to see the child anytime without any hindrance. But now, it seems that Gu Qingyan has repeatedly put my daughter in danger, which I cannot accept.
But I won't stop you from visiting the child. As the child's maternal grandparents, you can also bring the child to stay in Nancheng for a while if the child is willing.
But Gu Qingyan forbade him to come again.
"Yes, of course." Gu Suian immediately agreed.
Seeing that Gu Suian was so reasonable, Rong Hong nodded. "Secondly, Gu Qingyan said he found out the truth about why Zhi Qiu's mother was locked up in a mental hospital back then. But he hid the video and used it to blackmail Zhi Qiu into releasing Gu Ningning."
If he doesn't hand over the video, then we demand that he hand over Dean Qian; we can ask him ourselves.
"Ningning?" Gu Suian and Mu Ziqi were both taken aback, somewhat confused, and asked in bewilderment, "Is this my Ningning?"
Mu Ziqi looked incredulous. "Wasn't Ningning in Nancheng preparing his grandfather's birthday present? How could he be in the capital? Is there some mistake?"
“It seems you know nothing.” Rong Hong’s face was gloomy. “Gu Ningning came here with a group of bodyguards, not only insulting Zhi Qiu, but also trying to break down the door and take away the two children.”
They said they wanted to get the children back to taking care of the family.
Hearing Rong Hong's words, Gu Suian unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides. He turned around, looked at Gu Qingyan, and asked, "You know too? Right?"
"Yes, your son knows too. He even made a deal with your brother by threatening Gu Ningning's safety, demanding that he withdraw from the chairman election."
That's why we arrived in the capital so quickly.
Rong Mo pointed it out without any politeness.
A series of interconnected schemes, what a brilliant plan!
After Gu Suian figured out the whole story, his face turned completely dark.
"Dad, you know I can't back down." Gu Qingyan didn't admit his mistake. He raised his head defiantly and looked at Gu Suian, saying, "I've missed several important meetings this year. You know my reputation in the company is declining day by day. You retired a long time ago and don't help me anymore. You're even traveling with Mom. I have no choice..."
"Slap!" Another slap.
Gu Suian was furious and slapped Gu Qingyan again. "Do you even know how to write the word 'reflection'?"
What did I tell you a while ago? Have you forgotten everything?!
"So what? I already know I was wrong, and you're all pushing me!" Gu Qingyan raised her face, snorted coldly, and retorted.
"You!" Gu Suian's throat seemed to be choked by something, and his chin kept trembling.
“You don’t stand up for me, and you just listen to them criticize me! You don’t even protect me when they hit me! I’m starting to doubt if I’m really your son! If you don’t want to acknowledge me, just have someone beat me to death! I don’t want to be your son anymore!”
Gu Qingyan, with his neck stiff, began to speak recklessly, "I'm even thinking of getting a paternity test done. Maybe I'm not your biological son at all!"
Gu Suian was furious and pointed at Gu Qingyan, yelling, "You unfilial son! You..."
"What about me?" Gu Qingyan suddenly stood up, enduring the pain, and rushed to Gu Suian, complaining, "You don't help me at the company, and you don't help me at home either!"
When Zhi Qiu wanted to divorce me, neither you nor Mom spoke up for me. Instead, you showed all sorts of concern for Zhi Qiu!
Now look what's happened! I have no children, and you have no grandchildren! My children are going to call someone else "Dad" now, are you satisfied?!
"It's all your fault!"
"You! You! You..."
Gu Suian's fingertips began to tremble violently, and a sudden sharp pain shot through his heart, which quickly spread throughout his body.
His expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his heart, then fell backward in front of Gu Qingyan with his face tilted back.
The scene was chaotic. Just a second before Gu Suian closed his eyes, he saw Mu Ziqi rushing over in a terrified state.
-----------
Outside the operating room.
Gu Qingyan stood motionless at the door of the operating room.
Mu Ziqi sat blankly on the stainless steel bench, her hands gripping the armrests tightly. Her face was pale, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes stared blankly at the ground. She looked extremely haggard, with only the faint rise and fall of her body proving that she was still breathing.
"Auntie, please have some water first."
Rong Mo, holding a cup of hot water, slowly sat down in the empty seat next to Mu Ziqi and handed the paper cup to her.
"Thank you, Xiao Mo." Mu Ziqi's eyes were bloodshot. She gave a bitter smile, her pale lips pressed together repeatedly, trying hard to keep her eyes from falling.
But after trying to control herself for a long time, she still couldn't find a way out. She covered her face and sobbed painfully, her shoulders trembling.
"Auntie, don't worry too much, Uncle will be alright." Rong Mo sighed, handed the paper cup to the bodyguard next to him, gently patted Mu Ziqi's shoulder, and softly comforted her.
Suddenly, the operating room lights went out.
