"Lu Tian has become much more sensible recently. Is it because she has a boyfriend?" Zou's mother asked with a smile.
Before Lu Tian could answer, Zou Fan spoke out before her: "Yes! My brother-in-law is so good to me!"
"Baby, you can't call me brother-in-law yet!" Zou's mother corrected him, "Calling me brother-in-law so early is really cheap."
Lu Tian pursed her lips and kept smiling. Why had she naively thought that Zou's mother was easy to get along with last night? Otherwise, she should go back to school.
Tian Jing tried to smooth things over: "Xiao Meng is a really good kid. Mom, our two families are going to meet next weekend. Do you have time? Can you come along?"
Zou's mother agreed. Zou Fan made a dumpling and brought it to her. She immediately smiled and praised her grandson for his cleverness. Lu Tian couldn't cook at all, let alone such a difficult technical job as making dumplings. She made an excuse to slip away from the dining table and planned to come down later when dinner was served.
However, before she stepped onto the stairs, Tian Jing received a call and quickly called her.
"Your grandpa is in the hospital. We are going to the hospital to see him after dinner."
Could it be that Mr. Gu couldn't escape this disaster? Lu Tian hurriedly asked how the old man was feeling.
"He's still unconscious."
Lu Tian's heart sank, and she sat back on the sofa in silence. The nanny hurriedly prepared lunch, and the three of them set off for the hospital after lunch.
Mr. Gu has always been in poor health. There is even a doctor living in the Gu family to prevent him from getting sick and having an accident and not being able to rescue him in time. Under such strict regulations, it is impossible for Mr. Gu to fall ill because of the lack of time to discover his hidden illness. Could it be that he was also angry like in the original book?
In the hospital, almost all the members of the Gu family were present. This was the nursing home where Grandpa Gu often lived. It had comprehensive facilities. Grandpa Gu was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. After all, father and daughter are connected by heart. Seeing the old man like this, Tian Jing couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
"Why did Dad get sick?"
Old Madam Gu looked uneasy and said bitterly, "It's all because of that..."
She opened her mouth to curse, but she couldn't think of any curse words because she had been respectable all her life. Instead, she felt distressed when she saw Tian Jing: "Jingjing, I really didn't realize how much suffering you must have endured growing up with someone like that!"
"Mom, what did you say? Is it...she who came?"
Old Madam Gu nodded, her heart full of anger, and the rest of her eyes looking at Tian Jing and Lu Tian were also full of sympathy. They had only heard the description in the materials, but they really didn't know that Old Madam Tian was such a vulgar woman who didn't care about food, threw a tantrum on the spot, and had no self-cultivation at all!
"This afternoon, Yalan's biological mother and Xuanxuan came to our house together. Xuanxuan said she came to apologize, but who knew she kept nagging for a long time in our house, asking us to compensate them for their losses. She insisted that I had taken the child away by mistake and didn't blame her at all. She asked our Gu family to compensate her for the loss of mother and daughter separation for many years, as well as the cost of raising you. Your father hated her to begin with, and after hearing this, he was so angry that he argued with her and fainted in anger..." Old Mrs. Gu regretted it deeply. If she had known that Old Mrs. Tian was so greedy, she should not have let her into the Gu family.
Tian Jing was furious when she heard this: "She admitted something herself and now she's denying it. Where is she?"
Old Mrs. Tian said with her own mouth that she replaced her biological daughter because she was afraid that she would suffer at home. How could she have the nerve to come and cry now?
"She saw your father having an attack and ran away in fear. Now I don't know where she is."
As they were talking, Yu Ningxuan and Gu Yalan came in from outside.
Lu Tian didn't feel embarrassed at all about being overheard and asked doubtfully, "Brother, is it true?"
Gu Yi nodded with a smile. After the birthday party, Old Master Gu had a talk with them. He asked them to treat Lu Tian as their own sister and to protect her. If the old master knew that Lu Tian suffered any grievances, he would hold the five brothers accountable. He didn't care. After all, the girl had grown up. At most, he would give her gifts on holidays and birthdays. Of course, this was on the premise that Lu Tian did not cause trouble.
"Well, since big brother has asked me to do it, I will definitely not be embarrassed." Lu Tian was not polite at all. He picked out two bags worth more than 100,000 yuan and asked Gu Yi to pay for it.
Gu Yi swiped his card and signed the bill without changing his expression, and asked, "Do you want to buy anything else?"
"No need, big brother, just accompany your girlfriend. I've already received benefits, how can I be a light bulb?"
"Okay, tell me what you want next time."
Lu Tian happily picked up her bag and left: "Okay, thank you, big brother."
Her smile was sweet, but not flattering at all. Gu Yi was stunned, and inexplicably felt that she was... frank?
Lu Tian and the other three walked out of the luxury store. The other three didn't dare to speak. They went to the second floor to sit in the dessert shop to rest before they remembered to speak. Jiang Feifei said unsteadily: "Lu, Lu Tian, that's your big brother? He's so rich, he's so good to you, I also want a big brother like him!"
"Girl, if you know the truth, you may not really want it!" Lu Tian said softly.
"Ah? Is he your cousin or something?" Helian Chen asked. They all knew that Lu Tian had only one younger brother in her family, and it was not difficult to guess based on the bloody life story she had told before.
Lu Tian nodded and did not deny it.
The four of them had some desserts, ran to the cosmetics counter to buy some things and returned to school. Just as they stepped into the school gate, Lu Tian received a call from Meng Jingdong. She lagged behind her roommates and swiped the phone screen.
"Lu Tian, is it convenient to talk now?"
Meng Jingdong has always been very polite. In the original novel, he is a cold and aloof boss. Lu Tian guessed that it was because of Lu Chengyang. She cleared her throat and said, "Okay, go ahead."
"We've already discussed it with the hospital. Now it depends on when you can come over. If you have trouble getting leave, I can help you get a certificate, or I can talk to your supervisor."
