Chapter 439: The Rural Woman in Power Coveted by the Rich and Powerful (3)
The rain in late autumn, with its biting chill, was like fine silver needles, mercilessly piercing Qingwu's exposed neck.
Gu Zhenbao in her arms was as hot as a small fireball. His originally soft hair was now soaked with sweat and stuck to his forehead.
The little guy occasionally whimpered, which made Qingwu's heart clenched.
The hem of her skirt had long been soaked by the rain and stuck tightly to her legs. Her small leather shoes were also filled with water, making an uncomfortable "crunching" sound with every step she took.
The vehicles on the street formed a long line, and the red taillights formed a blurred light band in the rain.
Qingwu struggled to make her way through the busy traffic. The treasure in her arms seemed to sense her uneasiness and twisted its body restlessly.
Qingwu quickly tilted the umbrella towards her daughter, fearing that a drop of rain would fall on her.
However, as a result, her right shoulder was soon soaked by the rain, and the cold rain flowed down her neck, making her shiver involuntarily.
Qingwu struggled to hold the nearly 20-pound child in her arms and walked quickly on the slippery road.
Every step required her to use all her strength to avoid slipping.
As time went on, her arms began to ache, as if she had lost feeling, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.
Just when she felt she was about to collapse, there was a sudden sharp brake sound.
The front of the black Maybach stopped almost touching the hem of her skirt, and the smell of burnt tires rubbing against the ground mixed with the fishy smell of rain hit her face.
Qingwu's blood instantly froze and her mind went blank.
Out of instinct, Qingwu subconsciously held the treasure in her arms tightly and leaned back slightly.
This sudden change still scared Zhenbao awake, and she burst into tears.
Qingwu's body trembled slightly with fear. She slowly raised her head, and the rain slid down her eyelashes, blurring her vision.
Through the hazy rain curtain, she saw the warm yellow light inside the car pouring out like a beam of warm sunshine, dispelling some of the coldness of the rain curtain.
The young man who was flipping through the documents seemed to be startled by the sudden brake sound. He raised his head, and his eyes, as deep as a cold pond, swept coldly towards the driver in front of him, and in an instant seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
The young man was wearing a dark grey custom-made suit with exquisite tailoring and smooth lines. A simple platinum brooch on his collar made him look even more elegant.
Every gesture and movement exudes an innate nobility.
"What's going on?" The young man's voice was as cold as ice, with an unquestionable majesty.
The young man was obviously a nobleman who had been pampered for a long time. He had a noble and cold aura all over his body, and his superior eyebrows and eyes were cold, as if nothing in this world could arouse his interest.
Moreover, he looked very young, probably only around 20 years old.
But the sense of oppression around him was no less than that of the elders who had been in power for a long time.
The driver hastily apologized, his voice trembling. "Mr. Xiaoyan, I'm so sorry! Someone suddenly jumped out in front of us. The rain was so heavy that visibility was really bad, so I had to brake suddenly."
Cold sweat broke out on the driver's forehead and kept dripping down. He was obviously very afraid of the young man.
The raindrops were like a weave, densely packed together, hitting the windows of the black Maybach at an angle, forming winding water marks.
These water marks dyed the world outside the car into a blurry ink color, making it difficult to see the scenery outside the car.
Yan Lili frowned. He was not in a good mood to begin with.
My mother and grandmother have been arguing more fiercely lately than at any other time in the past two years.
Ever since his uncle, the most perfect, gentle and polite leader of the Gu family, went to Jingshui Village, the quarrels in the Gu family have never stopped, and even extended to the Yan family.
This matter of his uncle was also very strange. He used to be a very self-disciplined and respectful person. Whether in family affairs or in his personal life, he behaved impeccably.
He went to Jingshui Village to do charity work, and when he came back, he ignored his family's opposition and arrangements and was determined to marry a rural woman to be the mistress of the Gu family.
Go one's own way.
It is also said that the woman brought her daughter to power, which left a very bad impression on the Gu family.
A prominent family like the Gu family has seen countless methods used to gain power.
And the method of taking one's children with one's parents to take power has always been what they despise the most.
But it was just such a woman who made Gu Chenzhou, who had always been wise and intelligent and had led the Gu Group to create countless glories, feel like he was possessed by a poison and was completely devoted to her.
He was obsessed with marrying that woman, which made Gu's father and mother very angry.
After facing opposition from all members of the Gu family, he even moved out of the Gu family and stayed with that woman every day.
The uncle, who had always been filial and polite, showed unprecedented strength, and both sides were competing to see who would give in first.
Originally, my grandparents had been angry about this matter for two years, but they really missed their son so much.
Moreover, as time went on, the power of the Gu family was gradually taken over by Gu Chenzhou.
Gu's father and mother, who have retired, are actually no longer able to exert much influence on Gu Chenzhou.
Gu Chenzhou was unwilling to have a head-on conflict with them only because of his filial piety.
So two years later, my grandparents finally couldn't hold it in any longer and started to consider whether they should agree to Gu Chenzhou's request and let him bring the woman home to see them.
After all, the marriage is over and the child is born.
Moreover, Gu Chenzhou also announced to everyone in the circle that he already had a wife and a daughter, and that this would never change in his life, and that it would be impossible for him to marry into a wealthy family again.
It was at this time that an accident happened.
It was also on such a rainy day that his grandparents finally agreed and let Gu Chenzhou take the wife he had chosen back home.
Gu Chenzhou seemed very happy, so he drove a little faster.
Then......
There was a car accident.
He is still lying unconscious in the Yan family hospital.
Now, the only outstanding son was in a car accident and became a vegetable, lying in bed unconscious.
In order to ensure that the Gu family's affairs can run smoothly, the retired Mr. Gu has to come out of retirement.
But the most important thing is Gu Chenzhou's safety and health.
According to the doctor, there was nothing wrong with Gu Chenzhou's physical indicators.
