Chapter 124 Without Ahri, I will die.
Under the parasol in the back garden, the sunlight was filtered softly. Gu Xiangsi and Gu Ye sat side by side on rattan chairs, talking in low voices, with occasional suppressed sobs heard.
In the living room, Fu Sinian sat on a single sofa by the window, his eyes looking through the glass at the father and daughter in the back garden with a complicated expression.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and turned to Zhou Wanrong, who was standing beside him with an obviously angry expression. His tone was calm but with a barely perceptible chill: "You followed me?"
"Mom! You knew that Ali had been looking for her father all these years, how could you have kept it a secret from her?"
Zhou Wanrong clenched her hands, her chest heaving slightly with anger, and she couldn't help but raise her voice when she heard this.
"I'm with her, and you still choose her, right?"
Fu Sinian looked up at her but didn't respond.
Zhou Wanrong seemed to be irritated by the silence, and her tone added a hint of grievance and accusation.
"So, in your heart, she is still the most important, right? What have I been to you all these years?"
Fu Sinian looked at Zhou Wanrong's red eyes and stubborn expression, sighed helplessly, and softened his tone.
"Mom, why are you still throwing a tantrum? There's no comparison between you and Ali."
"Why not?" Zhou Wanrong stiffened her neck, her tone filled with a hint of stubbornness, "I'm determined to determine the importance today!"
Fu Sinian frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, his voice trembled slightly.
"Without Ahri, I will die."
"But you are different, Mom. You are the closest person to me in this world, and the one I will protect no matter what."
After he said this, he looked at Zhou Wanrong, whose eyes were even redder, and his heart softened. He reached out and gently held her hand, his tone solemn and warm.
"Mom, you and Ali are the most important people to me. You are the only two women in this world whom I would fight tooth and nail to protect."
"No one is more important than anyone else, because you all occupy completely different places in my heart, and you are all people I cannot lose."
Zhou Wanrong moved her hand away from the armrest of the sofa, her fingertips still showing unsuppressed anger, and her tone was full of disapproval.
"You're speaking nicely now."
After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath and sat down heavily on the sofa, but her eyes did not leave Fu Sinian, still staring at him.
Fu Sinian was not intimidated by this posture. Instead, he smiled with the corners of his lips curled up, and his tone was a bit deliberately teasing.
"Mom, you really seem younger and younger. Could it be that... you still have feelings for Uncle Gu?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll whip you, don't you believe it?"
Zhou Wanrong's face darkened instantly, and she raised her hand as if to hit him, but the anger in her eyes was less intense than before.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about this." Fu Sinian quickly raised his hands to beg for mercy, then changed the subject and looked more serious.
"But now there's a very serious problem. Mom, you don't agree with me and Ali being together. Is half of the reason because of Uncle Gu?"
He paused, his voice softened, "You know in your heart that if you and he were in love, we would..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhou Wanrong interrupted him abruptly, her tone a bit flustered and forceful. "How old am I? Why are you still talking nonsense?"
Fu Sinian looked at the slightly red tip of her ear and didn't continue poking it. He just sighed helplessly.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now."

Beside the rattan chair in the back garden, Gu Xiangsi's gaze fell on Gu Ye's temples, and her voice was so soft as if she was afraid of disturbing something.
"Dad, you have white hair."
Gu Ye raised his hand and gently pressed the white hair at his temples, a gentle smile in his eyes and a hint of emotion in his voice.
"Silly child, I'm old, isn't it normal to have gray hair?"
His eyes fell on Gu Xiangsi's face, and he looked at her carefully before continuing, "But you, you've grown up and become much more reserved than before."
"Let's go see grandma. She just had surgery. She'll definitely be happy to see you."
Gu Ye did not stand up immediately. He hesitated for a few seconds, his eyes showing a hint of guilt and his tone becoming lighter.
"Okay, I just miss you. Don't blame Dad. It's not that Dad doesn't want to see you, but... I'm afraid they'll do something bad to you because of me."
Gu Xiangsi raised her eyes to look at him, without any resentment in her eyes, she just nodded quietly, her voice gentle but firm.
"I understand, Dad. As long as you're fine."
At the sanatorium, to ensure safety, Fu Sinian specifically asked Gu Ye to dress up as a bodyguard, with black sunglasses on his nose and a black hat pulled down slightly, covering most of his face.
Fu Sinian walked in front with his arm around Gu Xiangsi openly.
Gu Ye fell behind, looking at the figure protecting his daughter, his brows unconsciously frowned, his heart seemed to be blocked by something, and the feeling was extremely complicated.
Unexpectedly, his daughter also became someone else's concern...
Moreover, the one who was thinking about her was that man's son. It was really hard to think about it.
Fu Sinian and his companions walked towards the corridor where the VIP room was located. Before they reached the door, they heard a noise coming from the front.
When I got closer, I saw that Song Ping and his family were blocking the door of the ward.
Aunt Li stood in the middle of the door and prevented them from entering.
The nurses nearby were extremely anxious. They tried to persuade one and another, but they couldn't stop the disease.
Li Xiaoyao didn't hesitate much, rushed forward with big strides, frowned and said in a deep voice.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguards following him immediately stepped forward, each holding one of them, and quickly and efficiently dragged Song Ping and the others to the side.
Aunt Li, who was blocking the door of the ward, caught sight of Gu Xiangsi and hurried over to her as if she had seen a savior, her tone anxious and angry.
"Miss Gu, you're finally here! They insisted on forcing their way in!"
Song Ping, who was being held down by the bodyguard, heard the voice and struggled to look up. When he saw Gu Xiangsi, his eyes turned red and he shouted at the top of his voice.
"Gu Xiangsi, why don't you let me see my mother? This ward is not yours!"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the people behind Gu Xiangsi, and his gaze lingered for a few seconds on Gu Ye, who was wearing a black hat and sunglasses.
Gu Ye subconsciously pushed his hat down and quietly moved to the side to avoid Song Ping's gaze.
Gu Xiangsi was afraid that he would be exposed, so she quickly stepped forward to block him and questioned Song Ping coldly.
"Uncle, which of Grandma's pension and retirement funds wasn't taken away by you? Why didn't you think of her when you took the money away? What do you want from her now?"
Her tone was firm, leaving no room for the other party to explain. "And I remind you that I have custody of Grandma now. Whether you can see her or not is up to me."
Song Ping was still struggling while being held down by the bodyguards, his neck stiffened and his voice became urgent and aggressive.
"Anyway, I don't care! I'm her only son. Her grandson is almost being forced to death. We don't even have money to rent a house. How can she just ignore it?"
When Gu Xiangsi heard this, his brows instantly furrowed.
I immediately understood that this was another of their old tricks, trying to use the difficulties at home as an excuse to cheat the old lady out of her money.
It wasn't enough that he had taken away the old lady's pension before, now he is even planning to take advantage of the old lady who just had surgery.
