There was no response on the other end of the phone, but Fu Nanxiao already had a preliminary judgment.
It's really bad, and it's exactly the last thing we wanted to happen.
"You have two choices: tell me over the phone, or tell me the truth in person."
Gu Nianqiang quickly said, "I simply can't face you right now."
"So I'll tell the truth."
Fu Nanxiao's words left her defenseless, leaving Gu Nianqiang, who was now on the edge of a cliff, with no better option than to confess honestly.
Gu Nianqiang composed herself and recounted what had happened.
Fu Nanxiao listened quietly to these words, and already had a clear understanding of the situation.
Gu Nianqiang emphasized: "I really didn't know about this, but if she gets arrested, I will also become an accomplice. I have no idea what to do. No one will believe me."
I believe you.
Gu Nianqiang was stunned, wondering if she had misheard.
Fu Nanxiao hadn't stood by her side for so long that she almost forgot that this man had once cared for her.
"Nan Xiao, thank you."
"I think you should leave the country. I will arrange a good job for you abroad so that you can live a life free from financial worries."
Gu Nianqiang was somewhat dazed; Fu Nanxiao seemed a little different today.
Since remarrying Jiang Yilai, he has always been cold towards me. Although I didn't directly cause Gu Qihang's death, I still bear some responsibility.
But instead of blaming himself, he helped her leave at this time, which makes it hard not to have doubts.
"But why are you suddenly helping me like this? If the Gu family or Jiang Yilai finds out, they will definitely blame you."
“I will handle these things. You just need to prepare your passport and leave in the next few days.”
There is still room for maneuver before things escalate beyond repair.
Of course, these were not Fu Nanxiao's original intentions, but rather Gu Ming'en's requests.
After confirming that the matter had nothing to do with Gu Nianqiang, they sent the person away as soon as possible.
Gu Nianqiang was still having a hard time accepting it.
"My mother's condition is somewhat special right now. It would be better if I stayed by her side. Is it really okay for her to leave like this?"
"She wouldn't want you to stay by her side."
"Why?"
"She must be my own flesh and blood."
These words struck a chord with Gu Nianqiang. Precisely because she had no blood relation with them, they were objects that could be abandoned at any time.
Fu Nanxiao simply wanted her to recognize this fact.
"I understand. I'll follow your arrangements and go. But why are you suddenly being so nice to me?"
"Consider this my last bit of goodwill. Let me know which country you'd like to visit as soon as possible."
Fu Nanxiao's kindness was so excessive that Gu Nianqiang felt it was unreal.
"Okay, I'll think about it carefully and get back to you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Nanxiao reported the situation to Gu Ming'en, and everything was being done according to his instructions.
That night, the whole family stayed in the ward with Grandma Gu, waiting for her to wake up, so that she could open her eyes and see all her relatives there to comfort her.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the old lady opened her eyes and saw that the ward was full of people. Tears streamed down her face.
Jiang Yilai and Gu Yu exchanged a glance and stepped forward to hold her hand. Now, only the two of them, young people, were by her side.
"Grandma, I know this is a big blow to you, but it has already happened. You have to try to think positively. Lai Lai and I are still here for you."
"Grandma, it's not just us, there's a whole family here too. Your two children are still at home thinking about you. You need to get better soon and come home as soon as possible."
