Jiang Yilai would never allow her family to be harmed, let alone an elderly person like her. How could Gu Nianqiang bear to take advantage of her?
Gu Nianqiang shook her head again, tears streaming down her face as she explained.
“I was scared tonight because of the thunder and lightning, so I went to my grandma. She kindly slept with me. There was a lot of noise outside, and I didn’t even know when someone came in.”
After Gu Nianqiang finished speaking, seeing that she didn't believe her at all, she pitifully continued to explain.
“I really didn’t lie to you. I went to bed very late and was very tired. Then I vaguely heard someone pulling at me. When I opened my eyes, I saw a man stabbing my grandmother with a knife.”
Jiang Yilai grabbed her arm and asked again, "Why didn't you help at the time? Why didn't you call for help?"
“I was terrified. I called for help, and the other person ran away when they heard me. My dad and the others arrived within two minutes and took my grandma to the hospital.”
Du Yi stepped forward and pulled Gu Nianqiang back to protect her, expressing her dissatisfaction with Jiang Yilai's rude behavior.
“Qiangqiang is telling the truth. When we heard the noise and shouts, we ran over and found that your grandmother had already collapsed.”
Jiang Yilai shook her head and said bluntly, "It's definitely not just that. Gu Nianqiang, you're taking advantage of the fact that your grandmother is in a coma and can't say anything, right? If I find out you're lying when she wakes up, I'll make you pay."
Jiang Yilai always felt that this matter was far more complicated than she described, and that this woman was hiding the truth.
Gu Ming'en waved his hand and said, "This is the operating room. Everyone, please stop arguing and disturbing the medical staff's rescue efforts."
These words calmed Jiang Yilai down, and Fu Nanxiao walked over and pulled her to his side.
"Don't worry, Grandma loves you the most and knows you'll be fine waiting outside."
Jiang Yilai felt terrible. She had a bad feeling when she left work today. She should have been more careful and reminded her grandmother, and then she wouldn't be lying in there.
Seeing Gu Nianqiang crying in front of Du Yi, she felt that it was all fake and pretentious.
As for why her grandmother came to her room and why she was the only one injured, Jiang Yilai had to find out.
The surgery continued into the morning, and when the doctor came out, his expression was somber, leaving everyone on edge.
Gu Ming'en stepped forward first and asked, "Doctor, how is my mother?"
The doctor sighed. "The old lady's condition is not optimistic. Although her life has been saved, she is old and weak, and with the head injury, it is still unknown whether she will wake up."
The elderly person's biggest fear is falling, and on top of that, being stabbed made Jiang Yilai even more hesitant to consider the possibility of this outcome.
She turned to look at Gu Nianqiang, rushed forward, and slapped her across the face.
“You’re the one who should be lying in there. If anything happens to Grandma and she doesn’t wake up, I’ll make you pay with your life.”
Gu Nianqiang stepped back in fear, not expecting the situation to be so serious.
She sobbed, "I would rather it was me lying inside, at least then I wouldn't be scolded by you."
Du Yi came over to speak up for her again: "Lai Lai, I understand how you feel, but what's done is done. Let's work together to solve the problem. I believe Qiang Qiang didn't want it to be like this either."
Seeing how protective Du Yi is of Gu Nianqiang now, and remembering how she wished she could kill her when she learned about Gu Nianqiang's background, she felt a pang of resentment.
Now Jiang Yilai finally understands why Gu Nianqiang did this.
Only with Du Yi's care and protection could she survive in the Gu family.
How could she be so selfish? Everything she did was meticulously planned, all for her own benefit.
