Li Qinglan immediately went over to support her daughter and comforted her, "Lie down properly and don't get agitated. I'll talk to your brother!"
Looking at Gu Yutian's pale face, I felt puzzled. I wondered what had happened to her last night that had gotten so bad that she had to be hospitalized.
Much later, I heard gossip circulating in the circle—that Gu Yutian had lost her virginity and had been defiled by two thugs in turn.
Due to the severity of the offense and the influence of the Gu family, the two thugs were sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
But even the harshest punishment could not restore Miss Gu's reputation and innocence.
To be honest, if I had known that Gu Yutian would suffer such a terrible fate, I should have poured that drink away.
But if that's the case, I won't be able to get solid evidence to hold Gu Yanqing accountable, and the divorce case with him will drag on indefinitely.
Many things in this world are not simply black and white, and it is impossible to accurately judge right or wrong.
I can only console myself that it's all fate.
It's fate that I met the wrong person, and it's also fate that Gu Yutian's life is unfortunate.
These causes and effects are all choices we made ourselves in the dark, and we can't blame anyone else.
At this very moment, the three members of the Gu family next to me are arguing fiercely.
"Yan Qing, if you don't divorce her, don't ever set foot in the Gu family again. I'll pretend I never had a son like you!"
"Brother, you can't abandon your own sister for a woman who doesn't love you! I'm doing this for your own good, you can't treat me like this!"
Gu Yanqing was being berated by his mother and sister in turn, and the ward was in complete chaos. My ears were ringing.
My phone vibrated, and when I took it out, I saw that it was Su Shenglin calling.
Not knowing what he wanted, I quickly turned and left.
"Jiang Wan! You can't leave! Delete the videos on your phone! Otherwise, don't even think about leaving the house today!" Seeing that I was about to leave, Li Qinglan immediately turned her attention to me and yelled.
I found it funny. "Do you think I didn't make a backup before I came here? Even if your son smashes my phone again, he still can't delete that video."
A few days ago, Gu Yanqing got drunk and went crazy at my doorstep, smashing my perfectly good cell phone and forcing me to spend money to buy a new one.
Upon hearing this, Li Qinglan was stunned.
I turned and walked to the door, and heard her threaten again: "Jiang Wan, if you dare to spread this around, the Gu family will never let you off the hook!"
I turned around and bluntly retorted, "As long as your son divorces me, I guarantee no one else will know about this except me! But if he doesn't divorce me... ha!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qinglan looked away and continued to yell at Gu Yanqing.
I closed the door and left the ward. Finally, I had some peace and quiet, and I quickly answered the call.
"Hello."
On the other end of the phone, Su Shenglin's gentle and pleasant voice came through, "Are you very busy right now? It took you so long to answer..."
"No, I'm not busy—what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just remember you have your divorce hearing this afternoon. Are you sure you don't want me to put in a good word for you?"
So that's what it was about.
I was secretly touched, but I said firmly, "No need, don't worry, I have a way."
"What method?"
"Um... it's not convenient to tell you, but I'm basically confident of victory." I just promised Li Qinglan that as long as her son divorces me, I won't tell anyone about this.
One should be trustworthy.
So even if it's Su Shenglin, I can't say.
Of course, if Gu Yanqing causes trouble again this afternoon and refuses to leave, then I will announce this to the world and hand it over to the police.
"Okay, it's good that you know what's going on. I was overthinking it."
"No, thank you for your concern. It warmed my heart." I walked into the elevator, holding my phone, a smile unconsciously creeping onto my lips.
I don't understand why he's so concerned about whether I can get a divorce.
Could it be that he was hoping I'd be divorced and single so he could finally confess his feelings and start pursuing me formally?
Thinking about this, I felt another surge of excitement, and my ears, which were pressed against the phone, became hot.
"Don't mention it. You're my savior. I'm happy to do anything for you." His deep, gentle reply made my heart skip a beat.
I couldn't help but blurt out, "Just because of that?"
"What?"
"I said, are you being so nice to me just because I saved you? Are you repaying a debt of gratitude?"
Finally, I asked the question, holding my breath, my heart pounding, waiting for his answer.
I don't know why I suddenly became so brave, daring to take the initiative to break through that barrier.
Is it because I have the leverage to control Gu Yanqing and believe that divorce is a done deal, that I've become subconsciously restless?
After a moment of silence on the other end, Su Shenglin's tone became even lower and gentler, "Then what else do you think is the reason?"
What do I think?
He actually threw the question back at us.
I should have been angry, but I wasn't.
Not only did I not feel that way, but I also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately laughed happily, saying, "I was just kidding. You weren't scared, were you? I know you're a very good person, and I'll repay even the smallest kindness tenfold, let alone the fact that I saved your life—that's a great favor!"
Su Shenglin chuckled softly, then said seriously, "Jiang Wan, it's not just about repaying a debt of gratitude."
Buzz!
My mind went blank for a moment, and I suddenly didn't dare to respond. At the same time, I deeply regretted bringing up this topic.
Fortunately, after a moment of panic, I reacted quickly, "What did you just say? I'm in the elevator, down in the underground parking garage, the signal is bad."
He chuckled softly, seemingly understanding that I was avoiding the issue, but didn't call me out on it. "It's nothing, you go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for your good news this afternoon."
