Gu Zhenting's eyes were hazy, and it was unclear whether it was because he hadn't seen his grandson for a long time or because he had just woken up from a nap.
He raised his hand to rub his eyes and patted the seat next to him: "Here you are, come quickly."
Gu Zheng strode forward and took his seat gracefully. His resolute and handsome face showed no emotion.
Gu Zhenting looked at him for a few seconds and sighed: "You must have suffered a lot outside recently. You look much thinner."
Gu Zheng seemed unwilling to exchange pleasantries. He raised his eyes and looked at the old man: "Grandpa, is there anything urgent that you asked me to come here today?"
Gu Zhenting touched the ring on his thumb, his face embarrassed, but when he thought of the Greedy Wolf Palace, his heart trembled, and he could only bite the bullet and say: "I want to invite you to return to the Gu family."
Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and said self-deprecatingly: "Grandpa, you forgot that I have nothing to do with the Gu family anymore."
"I can gather all the Gu clan members and welcome you back in front of them. I believe they will be very happy!"
"But I don't want to..." Gu Zheng interrupted Gu Zhenting, frowning.
He finally managed to break away from the Gu family and start his own business. In the future, he wanted to build a huge business empire with his own abilities. Once he comes back, will his life be controlled by his grandfather again?
He continued, "Grandpa, I came back today just to see you. If you have nothing else to do, I'll take my leave."
Gu Zheng stood up and prepared to leave. Gu Zhenting was so anxious that he didn't even care about his crutches and wanted to stop him.
He stumbled, lost his balance, and fell heavily to the ground.
Gu Zheng heard a strange "bang" sound and turned around subconsciously.
When he saw Mr. Gu crawling on the ground and groaning, he panicked instantly!
"Someone, call a doctor!"
…
In the bedroom, the family doctor finished bandaging Mr. Gu, and Gu Zheng couldn't wait to ask about his condition.
The doctor said slowly, "Mr. Gu, this man is old, and a fall could be life-threatening. Mr. Gu was lucky today; he only fractured his wrist, so he can still get out of bed. If he had fractured something like his hip, it would be much more difficult to treat. Mr. Gu already has difficulty walking, so he needs to be more careful in the future and not fall again."
Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that nothing serious is wrong. I'll ask the nanny to come and take care of it first."
Gu Zhenting quickly spoke up to stop him, his words carrying a hint of grievance: "I'm injured like this, and you won't stay to take care of me?"
Gu Zheng was slightly stunned.
Gu Zhenting's pupils widened as he continued viciously, "If I'm really gone from now on, you won't have the chance to take care of me. Then, you can just cry and regret it!"
"Grandpa!" Gu Zheng frowned, his tone softening in compromise, "I'll stay, don't say anything..."
He once read a popular science article that mentioned that many elderly people died from various diseases caused by falls and long-term bed rest.
Just now, when his grandfather fell, he was indeed afraid. He was afraid that the grandfather would not be able to get up from the fall and he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Although he has many conflicts with his grandfather, in his heart, his grandfather is also an extremely important family member.
Gu Zheng asked the servants to move a sofa next to Gu Zhenting's bed, intending to accompany him tonight and calm his excessive emotions.
Injured elderly people are like children, they need to be coaxed when they become willful.
Seeing that his grandson cared so much about him, Gu Zhenting finally felt better.
I just don't know if this "torture trick" of mine can make Gu Zheng change his mind and return to the Gu family to protect his life.
He has offended the young man from the Tanlang Palace. Now he can only rely on Gu Zheng's mediation to have a chance of survival.
