Chapter 100 Su Niannian turned her head upon hearing the sound, and then met Lin Wan's gaze.
Xie Yuan gently put his arm around his wife's shoulder: "Don't worry, I believe our daughter will wake up soon."
Lin Wan forced a smile and swallowed back the tears that were about to fall.
-----
Not long after Xie Yuan and Lin Wan left, a heavy snow began to fall outside, with swirling snowflakes fluttering down.
In a short while, the world was filled with the desolate color of snow.
Gu Yuheng stood by the window, his gaze fixed on the distant snowfield through the dim streetlights.
His thoughts drifted back to twenty years ago.
At the 100-day celebration of the Xie family's youngest daughter, her parents took him to offer their congratulations.
That was also the first time he met Xie Yao.
Xie Yao was only three months old at the time. Her chubby little body lay in the cradle, her big, round eyes wide open, looking curiously at the visiting guests.
The little girl was very outgoing; she would grin at anyone she saw.
He kept giggling at them.
They are extremely pleasing to the eye.
The lady in the beautiful dress teased her, "Little Yaoyao, would you like Auntie to hold you?"
The little guy is still small and doesn't quite understand what we're saying yet.
She was biting her little hand, and when the female guest reached out her hand, she twisted her chubby little body, her face full of rejection.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
The female guest wasn't embarrassed at all. Pointing to her daughter beside her, she smiled and said, "If you don't want Auntie to hold you, how about this pretty older sister holds you instead?"
Little Xie Yao looked confused, her little face scrunched up, looking both cute and pitiful.
The people around her couldn't help but laugh.
Just when everyone thought she was a cold and aloof lady.
Little Yao Yao, lying in the cradle, suddenly turned her little head, revealing her big, dark eyes, like grapes.
I followed the boy who was wearing white casual clothes as he passed by.
"Oh my, no wonder she wouldn't let us hold her. Little Yao Yao wanted the older brother to hold her." The female guest said with a smile.
Now, everyone's eyes were on Gu Yuheng.
He frowned imperceptibly.
He never liked children. In his mind, they were a bunch of noisy little guys who would cry at the drop of a hat and make a headache.
Whenever relatives or friends come to visit with their children, it's a common occurrence.
Gu Yuheng would deliberately avoid it.
I wish I could stay as far away as possible.
This little ball of flesh actually wants me to hug her?
You must be dreaming!
"What are you standing there for?" Rong Qin's maternal love overflowed: "Hugging your little sister won't hurt you, hurry up and hug her."
Lin Wan thoughtfully helped him out of the predicament.
"Qinqin, Yuheng is shy and doesn't want to be embarrassed, so please don't force him."
Rong Qin adores her youngest daughter: "He doesn't force her at all. Yu Heng is naturally fond of children. He holds his little sister all day at home and can't put her down, hahaha."
Gu Yuheng was slapped by his mother and placed in front of the cradle.
The chubby little face in the cradle suddenly came into his view.
"&*&%&*￥……**"
Little Xie Yao looked up at him with her little face, happily babbling away.
But after talking for a long time, I still don't know what I'm talking about.
He spat a bunch of saliva bubbles at Gu Yuheng.
Gu Yuheng stared at it for a while and found that the little thing wasn't so annoying after all.
I don't mind hugging her.
But after that hug, he suddenly found himself with a piece of chewing gum stuck to him.
"Brother Yuheng, wait for me~~~~~" The little tagalong came chasing after him again.
The boy was on his way to play basketball and certainly didn't want to be stuck with the little rascal.
His pace quickened involuntarily.
I thought Xie Yao would keep chasing me, but this time she didn't follow.
He should have been happy.
But Gu Yuheng wasn't as happy as he had imagined.
He stopped and looked back.
At this moment, Xie Yao was sitting on the ground with her little mouth pouting.
There was a stone in front of her, and she had obviously tripped over it.
Even so.
She didn't cry or make a fuss.
Gu Yuheng's feet acted before his brain could react, and he rushed to Xie Yao in a few strides.
"Did you hurt yourself?" He crouched down and asked in a soft voice.
There was a worry in his eyes that he himself was unaware of.
Xie Yao shook her head, wiping away her tears with her small hands, and then brushing the dust off her skirt.
They looked both pitiful and adorable.
The boy looked down at her.
He turned away silently, his back to the little girl.
"Come up."
"Brother Yuheng, don't you dislike me clinging to you?"
"I'll count to three. If you don't come up here by then, I'm leaving. One, two..."
For some reason, I couldn't count to three, no matter how slowly I counted.
Children are easily fooled; they believe everything they hear, and quickly climbed onto the boy's body with both hands and feet.
She hugged Gu Yuheng's neck and hiccuped as she cried, "Brother Yuheng, don't go, Yaoyao will be good."
Gu Yuheng grabbed her knees with his other hand and walked towards the villa.
"I'll apply the medicine when we get back."
Okay.
When he came to his senses, the snow outside the window seemed to be falling even harder than before.
The buildings in the distance were covered with snow.
The night was illuminated as if it were daytime.
The reflection on the glass suddenly revealed Rong Qin's figure.
He suddenly turned around.
Her eyes were very red.
Tears suddenly fell the moment she saw Rong Qin.
He forced out a dry, hoarse voice from his throat: "Mom, what should I do? I can't hold on much longer..."
Rong Qin was deeply moved.
His eyes then reddened.
No one understood her son's personality better than she did.
He was intelligent and resolute from a young age, and never showed the slightest weakness in front of others.
Even the biggest storms cannot defeat him.
Rong Qin thought for a moment, and realized that the last time Gu Yuheng cried was when he was three years old.
After that, no matter what difficulties he encountered, he never cried again.
But now...
A strong, ambitious son.
She actually cried and asked herself, 'What should I do?'
Rong Qin felt as if her heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
She was shocked by Gu Yuheng's helpless and vulnerable appearance at that moment.
My heart was pounding.
She patted her son on the shoulder and said words that even she found pale and powerless.
“Yuheng, Niannian will wake up soon. You are a doctor yourself, so you should know more about these common sense things than your mother, right?”
Gu Yuheng looked up, his eyes filled with confusion: "I...I'm so scared..."
Rong Qin reached out and hugged her son, gently patting his back.
"It will be alright, everything will be alright."
----
The murderer, disguised as a deliveryman, failed to escape that day and was unsurprisingly caught by the bodyguards.
They were locked in the basement of an abandoned villa.
Waiting for Gu Yuheng to come and handle the situation.
The basement was perpetually filled with the stench of decay caused by poor ventilation.
The man was brought over by bodyguards, bound hand and foot.
He was covered in blood, and the gunshot wound on his leg had not been treated; the blood had stained his pants a dark reddish-black.
"You dare to hurt our young mistress? You're asking for death." The bodyguard deliberately kicked him hard in the wound.
The man's face contorted in pain, and he involuntarily knelt forward.
Before he could even recover...
A fist, wielding no force, slammed into his face.
He immediately bit his mouth open with his teeth, and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with his teeth.
One punch after another rained down on that hateful face.
The man let out a painful groan.
"Damn it." Gu Yuheng's eyes were bloodshot and he looked like he was possessed by a demon.
He suddenly grabbed the man's collar and pulled hard.
Without any mercy, he forcefully slammed the other person against the wall.
"Hmm."
A sharp pain shot through his limbs and bones; the man curled up, clutching his chest and coughing violently.
He's only half alive.
Just as Gu Yuheng raised his foot to stomp hard on his chest.
Xie Tingyan suddenly reached out and blocked his way.
He frowned and said, "If you don't want to become a murderer, then continue raising the two children alone. I won't stop you."
As the eldest brother.
Seeing this murderer who harmed his sister like that...
I wish I could kill him.
But he couldn't.
Gu Yuheng was blinded by hatred and lost his reason.
He clenched his teeth so tightly he wished he could break them, barely managing to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
"Speak." Gu Yuheng stepped forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and stared intently at him: "Who ordered you to do this?"
Men who live on the edge of a knife are exceptionally sensitive to the scent of death.
He looked into Gu Yuheng's cold, piercing, and utterly devoid of warmth.
My back was soaked with cold sweat.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk, please don’t kill me. I’m a former mercenary. I saw a recruitment ad on the dark web. Someone posted a high-paying mission, and I was attracted by the price, so I accepted the mission. Then a man contacted me.”
"He sent me an address and told me to kidnap your wife, but I couldn't find an opportunity, so I had to risk disguising myself to get close to her."
Gu Yuheng's face darkened: "Do you think you can kidnap my wife with so many guards around?"
The man's pupils contracted: "That person said that if the kidnapping fails, he will make your wife disappear from the world forever."
The implication is that it's Su Niannian's fate!
Gu Yuheng's heart skipped a beat.
He gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the man's collar, his knuckles turning white.
His voice was like a knife coated with deadly poison.
He said, word by word, "Who is that person?"
People who sabotage paternity tests to prevent Nian Nian from reuniting with her parents.
Who exactly is it?
And what is the purpose behind it?
He wanted to secretly prevent Yao Yao from returning to her parents.
Perhaps to be more precise.
He was afraid of Yaoyao's appearance.
Because he was the one who orchestrated Yao Yao's disappearance.
-----
Hospital.
Lin Wan pushed open the bathroom door in the ward and came out.
In the instant she looked up, she saw a girl sitting on the edge of the hospital bed with her back to her.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, her pupils contracted sharply, and the water glass in her hand fell to the ground without warning.
Glass shards were scattered all over the ground.
The sound of shattering broke the silence.
Upon hearing the sound, Su Niannian slowly turned her head.
The next second, he met Lin Wan's eyes, which were filled with turbulent emotions.
