Yu Ningxuan walked up to Old Lady Gu with tears in her eyes and choked up, "Grandma, I'm sorry. I didn't know things would turn out like this."
Gu Yalan also looked regretful: "Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have contacted them. How is Dad?"
Old Mrs. Gu had a cold face and didn't say anything. For the first time, she clearly realized that Gu Yalan was the daughter of someone else's family. Maybe Gu Yalan said it nicely, but after knowing who her biological mother was, she still thought of the blood relationship and contacted her biological mother.
No one in the Gu family spoke, and Old Man Gu was still unconscious. Gu Yalan and her daughter looked at each other, and gradually couldn't stand the awkward silence and started crying.
"Grandma, I really didn't mean it..." Yu Ningxuan sobbed continuously. If she had known that Old Madam Tian was so difficult to deal with, she would never have brought her to the Gu family to embarrass herself. What kind of family is the Gu family? What kind of family is the Tian family? After seeing the gap between the two families, it was even more difficult for her to accept that her own grandmother was a person like Old Madam Tian.
Gu Yalan has been diagnosed with pregnancy and announced the news. Yu Ningxuan cried, holding her waist and crying silently. Both mother and daughter are the kind of beauties who are pitiful. At this time, most of the men in the Gu family showed their pity. After all, no one knew that Mrs. Tian was so fierce and fickle.
"Xuanxuan, why did you contact the Tian family? Isn't it enough for us to be relatives? This is not Xuanxuan's fault at all!" The youngest Gu Wu muttered. He and Yu Ningxuan grew up together and have a very good relationship. He was the first to stand up and speak for her.
Lu Tian looked around. None of the three Gu brothers and grandchildren present were overly blaming her. She stood aside with her arms folded and said coldly, "Fifth Brother, you're being so easy. After all, Old Madam Tian is a blood relative. How can you just stop contacting her? Besides, who is to blame for this? Fifth Brother's words don't count, right?"
"Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?" Gu Wu blurted out.
Lu Tian looked at him with a half-smile, and even Tian Jing looked at Old Madam Gu with a sullen face. Gu Qingpei quickly glared at his son and explained with a smile, "Tiantian, your fifth brother didn't mean it. Gu Wu, hurry up and apologize to your sister!"
Gu Wu twisted his head, refusing to admit his fault. He'd always been the most favored person in the Gu family, aside from Yu Ningxuan. How could he bow his head and apologize to a stranger? Besides, in his opinion, Lu Tian was just there to stir up trouble. If she hadn't spoken, Mrs. Gu would surely have relented and forgiven her aunt and cousin.
"Gu Wu! Apologize!" Gu Qingpei raised his voice. He was embarrassed because his only son was disobedient.
"Uncle Three, it doesn't matter if the Fifth Young Master doesn't want to apologize. My mother and I heard the truth anyway." Lu Tian smiled, but everyone could hear the implicit meaning. The Gu family had previously said that they would make it up to them, but Gu Wu didn't regard Lu Tian and Tian Jing as family members at all. Everyone had just recognized each other as relatives and was slowly getting to know each other. Suddenly, this fig leaf was lifted. Who would feel proud?
Yu Ningxuan bit her lip and looked at Lu Tian. Is Lu Tian finally going to reveal his true face after enduring for so long?
Old Madam Gu was not very happy. Tian Jing didn't say anything, but Lu Tian was so direct that she embarrassed the elders. She said with a sullen face: "Okay! Your grandfather is still sick, why are you making such a fuss? Let's wait until he wakes up and see what the doctor says."
"Jingjing, Gu Wu definitely didn't mean that. He just speaks his mind. As his aunt, don't take it personally." She looked at Lu Tian again: "Tiantian, you too... Hey!"
Lu Tian shrugged and remained silent, staring at Tian Jing's expression out of the corner of his eye. Old Mrs. Gu was so confused!
Tian Jing moved her mouth and couldn't help but say something, but Gu Yalan covered her stomach and cried out "ouch, ouch" before her.
"Could it be that you were too excited and disturbed the fetus? Go and see the doctor." Gu Wu's mother had an extraordinary eye and gave him a way out.
Old Mrs. Gu no longer had a tense expression on her face, and quickly asked the nurses and doctors to send Gu Yalan to another ward for a check-up. After sending her away, some members of the Gu family received calls and had to go to work. Old Mrs. Gu pulled Tian Jing aside to talk, and Lu Tian saw with his own eyes that Tian Jing's stiff body gradually relaxed, and a forced smile appeared at the corners of his stiff mouth.
Lu Tian didn't have to listen carefully to know what Mrs. Gu was saying. She was simply assuring her that she loved her biological daughter the most and would not let Tian Jing down in the future.
Tian Jing wasn't like Gu Yalan, who was always flattering and spoiled. She had been Old Lady Gu's sweetheart since she was little, so no matter how angry she was, she wouldn't resent her. On the contrary, Tian Jing had a family and a career, so she had less time for Old Lady Gu. Relying solely on blood ties was too difficult to maintain. Furthermore, the Gu family was convinced that the baby swap was Old Lady Tian's fault, and that Gu Yalan and her daughter were not at fault. Furthermore, Gu Yalan's marriage to the Yu family was tied to the Gu family's interests, so they should maintain their existing relationship.
But in fact, since Gu Yalan is not a child of the Gu family, the more appropriate way is to maintain face rather than allowing her to snatch Tian Jing's position. Gu Wu even quarreled with Lu Tian for Yu Ningxuan, showing all the time that the Gu family was unfamiliar with Tian Jing and encouraging Gu Yalan to exclude Tian Jing.
Over there, after Mrs. Gu finished talking to Tian Jing, she suddenly came over and said something to Lu Tian, full of apology: "Tiantian, your fifth brother is not targeting you today, he just speaks his mind. I will make him apologize to you later."
Lu Tian nodded obediently: "Okay."
From beginning to end, she never said a word of apology. Mrs. Gu's smile froze and she said softly, "Don't argue with your elders in front of everyone in the future. Your three uncles love you very much. Don't make them sad."
"Okay." Lu Tian's smile did not reach her eyes. How could she not notice the displeasure of Old Lady Gu? Her biological daughter was not as good as the adopted daughter she had loved for more than 40 years, let alone a granddaughter of an unknown father.
They waited in the hospital for a long time but did not see Mr. Gu wake up, but the doctor told them that the old man was just in a coma and there was no serious problem with his body for the time being. Tian Jing's company assistant called her one after another to ask her to attend a meeting, so the two had to leave the hospital. The company and the Zou family were in opposite directions and not on the same route. Lu Tian suggested that Tian Jing go first and she would take a taxi back.
