If Gu Tingchuan is not willing, the major shareholders will inevitably stage an open and covert fight.
This is why Xia Mingwei has always hoped that Gu Tingchuan would come to Guangxia to take office, so as to secretly warn the major shareholders that the Xia family's property is not uninherited...
Gu Tingchuan stood outside the ward, looking into the ward through the glass, feeling extremely solemn.
Seeing that his face was not very good, Hai Yao couldn't control her heart after all, so she couldn't help but said, "Grandpa... will get better, don't be too sad."
She knew that no matter how much she said, she could not restore her grandfather's health. She just hoped that his heart would not be so heavy.
Gu Tingchuan looked at Xia Mingwei without saying a word. He was silent for a moment before speaking hoarsely, "Since my mother left, no one from my grandpa's side can stay with him. The house is very big, with many rooms, but there is no one."
He can stay with his relatives."
"My grandpa was suspicious by nature when he was young, and he didn't allow outsiders to get close to him."
"So he has always been alone. He hired countless servants at home, and it was especially deserted during the New Year and festivals. Haiyao, my grandpa has always hoped that we could live there for a while. We have said it several times, but I have refused. I have never
To think that he would..."
Speaking of this, he took a deep breath, and his whole body was filled with sadness.
"Why refuse?"
Seeing him sad, she felt uncomfortable and her eyes turned a little red.
Gu Tingchuan looked at her and didn't answer, but she could tell from his eyes. Did he think she wouldn't agree?
She suddenly remembered that he had mentioned it to her...
At that time, she just thought that she would be overwhelmed by such a shrewd old man, so she refused.
Later, he never mentioned it again...
At that moment, sourness poured into his heart, and Lu Haiyao did not expect that his rejection would bring him regret.
The two stood silently outside the door of the ward until the sun set and Xia Mingwei woke up and shouted to leave this horrible place like the hospital.
"I want to be discharged from the hospital. I want to stay in a place like this, smell that smell, and listen to those people crying all day long. I want to die quickly. Tingchuan, hurry up, go through the discharge procedures for me. I can't stay in a place like this."
Seeing that the old man was about to sit up, Hai Yao quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Grandpa, you'd better lie down. Your body is so weak now that you are not suitable for being discharged from the hospital."
Xia Mingwei looked at Hai Yao and sighed, "Lying here is like lying on a death bed. It's cold and I feel uncomfortable."
"Then I'll ask the nurse to thicken the mattress for you?" Gu Tingchuan said and was about to go out and call the nurse. Xia Mingwei crouched and wanted to stop him, but was too impatient and started coughing.
Hai Yao patted his back gently, "Grandpa, you can't be excited now."
The old man turned red from coughing and called Gu Tingchuan over. He let out a long breath and said after a long time, "Tingchuan, grandpa doesn't like to stay in this kind of place. Just think of it as complying with my wishes. I
Even if I die, I have to die at home."
"Listen to me, I want to be discharged from the hospital..."
The old man was so stubborn that no one could change his decision.
At this time, someone came to knock on the door.
He Yuping has always been Xia Mingwei's confidant and has served him for more than twenty years. As soon as he entered the door and saw Gu Tingchuan and Lu Haiyao in the house, he hesitated and hesitated.
Seeing this, Xia Mingwei knew what the matter was. He frowned and said, "Yu Ping, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter. Sooner or later, Tingchuan must know about it."
Only then did He Yuping look at everyone with doubts and said, "Dr. Xia, the child you asked me to find has some clues."
"oh?"
When Xia Mingwei heard this, he suddenly became more energetic and asked hurriedly, "Found it? Can you investigate clearly?"
He Yuping glanced at Gu Tingchuan and Hai Yao, and nodded heavily, "We have found it, but we need further confirmation."
Hearing this, Xia Mingwei smiled happily, with tears flashing in his eyes, "Yu Ping, there must not be any mistakes in this matter."
Gu Tingchuan was confused and asked, "Grandpa, what kind of child? I've never heard you mention it before."
Xia Mingwei smiled and said, "I'll tell you about this later when grandpa gets back. I can't explain it clearly at the moment."
Xia Mingwei insisted on being discharged from the hospital. After repeated persuasion by Gu Tingchuan and Haiyao, he only stayed in the hospital for two days before returning to Xia's home.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Haiyao went to the charge office to complete the discharge procedures. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Caring walking towards her.
There is no way to avoid it, you can only face it.
Haiyao stepped forward, intending to turn a blind eye, but he was concerned and didn't intend to let her go just like that.
"Lu Haiyao!"
Haiyao didn't stop and kept walking forward. Unexpectedly, Caring caught up with him and stood in front of Haiyao.
"what you up to?"
She didn't think caring would be good enough to say hello to her kindly.
Caring saw her full of hostility and smiled, "What can I do to you? You are now the wife of the Crown Prince of Guangxia Group, but the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. How dare I do anything to you?"
"I just want to give you some kind advice for the sake of our friends."
Hearing this, Hai Yao frowned and waited quietly for the next sentence.
I saw Caring and smiled sweetly, "I saw Gu Tingchuan buying birth control pills at the drugstore that day. Isn't it for you? I heard that the doctor at this hospital said that you don't seem to be able to give birth?"
"I just want to remind you, keep a close eye on your husband so that he doesn't get snatched away again."
Hearing this, Haiyao suppressed the anger in her heart, secretly clenched her fists, and smiled instead of being angry, "Thank you for reminding me, I think other women don't have your special hobby of stealing other people's husbands."
"You..." Caring was so angry that her face turned red, and Hai Yao looked back at her without fear, "Take care of yourself, you'd better worry about how you will excuse yourself when the police come to your door one day."
"Or, pray that my Xiaobei won't look for you at night. He died so miserably, didn't he reach out to grab you and ask you to help?"
The voice was sinister, and Caring turned pale with fright, shouting, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
She felt guilty, especially when she thought of the scene of Xiaobei falling down the mountain, her heart was beating loudly.
Seeing that her face turned pale with fright, Hai Yao smiled sarcastically and said, "Whether I am talking nonsense or not, you know best in your heart. Have you heard of the old saying? It's not that you don't retaliate, the time has not yet come."
"Care, you will definitely get retribution for what you did to Xiaobei and me."
After saying the harsh words, Hai Yao walked away. The moment she walked out of the hospital, her tense nerves relaxed, but her heart ached faintly.
Contraceptive pills…
He never allowed her to eat that kind of food, so who was it for?
He stayed up that night, and the next day he was smelling of women's perfume. She thought that he just went to the bar, and never thought that he would really have another woman outside...
No wonder he deliberately avoided her when answering the phone these past two days.
No wonder, he didn't return home until nearly midnight every night for the past two days.
All the strength in my body seemed to have been drained, and my face became paler. I bit my trembling lips tightly, and tried to take deep breaths, trying to suppress the pain in my heart, but I found that even breathing hurt, pulling on my internal organs, causing endless pain.
*****
That night, she sat in the living room and waited until late at night...
Waiting until he came back, Gu Tingchuan just walked to the entrance hall and saw Hai Yao sitting on the sofa. From his angle, he thought she was watching TV.
He changed his shoes, walked up, sat next to her, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go to bed so late?"
When he spoke, there was a faint smell of alcohol...
She looked at him, the tears in her dark eyes made Gu Tingchuan cheer up immediately, and his heart tightened, "What's wrong?"
She looked at the lipstick mark on his collar and couldn't suppress the tears in her eyes. She smiled mockingly and reached out to pinch his collar, "What is this?"
Following her hand, he lowered his head and saw that it was clearly a woman's lipstick mark. He was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to explain, Hai Yao had already stood up and was about to go upstairs. He quickly grabbed her, "Hai Yao,
You listen to my explanation."
"What else can you explain?"
She mocked, forcing herself to look at him, and said word by word, "Since you already have a woman outside, why bother explaining to me?"
Nothing needs explanation...
Perfume, birth control pills, lipstick marks...
What else can be explained?
She struggled for him to let go. Gu Tingchuan was afraid of hurting her and did not dare to hold on too tightly. "Do you believe me? I really don't know where this lipstick mark came from, Hai Yao!!"
"Where's the perfume smell!! Where's the contraceptive pill!! Who are you buying the contraceptive pill for, Gu Tingchuan!!"
Hearing this, he was stunned, surprised that she would know about contraceptive pills.
For a moment, all the explanations were choked in my throat, and I couldn't tell...
His reaction was an indirect admission.
"Can't find the words to explain? Did I say it right? Gu Tingchuan, do you dare to say that you really haven't done it!!"
My heart felt like it had been forcibly opened, and like it was stabbed with sharp swords...
His silence, his speechlessness made her feel sad.
She didn't want to face him again, and she didn't want him to hold other women's hands and touch her. She screamed and struggled, "Let me go..."
She pushed him away hard, and seeing that he was about to step forward, she took a few steps back, fumbled around on the table for a fruit knife, and pointed it at him, "Don't come over here!!"
He watched in disbelief as she pointed the knife at him.
"Are you really going to give me a knife when I step forward?" Looking at the knife in her hand, he felt ridiculous that his wife was actually pointing the knife at him?
"Don't come over here!"
She didn't want to put down the knife in her hand, originally to prevent him from coming over, but she forgot that the man who had always been obedient to her was actually tough at heart. He actually walked towards her, forcing her to do it again and again.
She backed away until her back was against the wall. She had nowhere to retreat. She could only watch as he walked in front of her, held her hand holding the fruit knife, pressed it against his chest, and said in a hoarse voice, "
If you really hate me so much, just stab me so you can leave and get rid of me."
Tears welled up in her eyes, her hands were shaking, and she still couldn't control herself.
She wanted to let go, but he held her hand tightly and stabbed her heart hard. The tip of the fruit knife penetrated into the shirt, revealing blood and quickly staining the shirt red.
She looked at him in shock and wanted to let go, but he wouldn't let her go.
Tears were like broken beads, falling uncontrollably. Looking at the blood flowing out of his chest, she was so scared that her hands were shaking, "Are you crazy?"
He didn't dodge, but held her hand and stabbed her?
Looking at the blood that was constantly overflowing, Hai Yao felt pain, as if it was being stabbed in her heart.
Gu Tingchuan looked down at her, the corners of his lips raised bitterly, and he let go of her hand. The fruit knife fell from their hands and fell to the ground with a clang.
He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. The spreading pain from the wound made him weak when speaking. He said in a hoarse voice, "If pricking can make up for what I did, I would rather you prick deeper."
He felt guilty towards her about that incident, but was unable to change it...
If he stabbed her, she would feel better and forgive him, so why not?
"I was the one who made you hurt every time. Do you want to count it back this time and stab it a little deeper?"
His voice became weaker and weaker, which made Hai Yao's heart tremble, as if his heart was being rubbed hard by a pair of big hands, causing throbbing pain.
Aunt Zhang heard the crying in the living room and hurried out of the room. When she came out, she saw blood on Gu Tingchuan's chest. She was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward to pull Gu Tingchuan away and called 120 in a hurry.
When going to the hospital, Haiyao did not go.
Aunt Zhang accompanied Gu Tingchuan to the hospital. She squatted there alone, staring blankly at the fruit knife on the ground.
There is his blood on it...
Thinking of him being weakly helped away by the medical staff, her tears fell uncontrollably.
*****
In the hospital.
Gu Tingchuan was sitting while the doctor treated the wound. When Aunt Zhang saw this, she would sigh from time to time, wondering what kind of woman was this, who could have done this to her husband?
Too cruel?
If Gu Tingchuan's grandfather knew, it would be fine.
Gu Tingchuan looked at Aunt Zhang and forced a smile, "Go back. Haiyao is at home. She was also frightened. Go back and stay with her."
Aunt Zhang snorted coldly, "You are still worried about her."
"I really didn't realize that she was so cruel and could actually do it!!"
Aunt Zhang said angrily, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Gu Tingchuan said bitterly, "I am sorry for her."
"What are you sorry for her for? Didn't you marry her just because of Yoon'er's incident? She can marry you. It's a blessing she has cultivated for many lifetimes. Fortunately, she looks like Yoon'er. If it weren't like this
, can you marry her? You really took it so seriously that you even stabbed someone with a knife. If you hadn’t hugged me just now, I...I would have called the police!"
"Isn't this murder?"
"Aunt Zhang!" Gu Tingchuan sighed, "I did the stabbing myself and it has nothing to do with Hai Yao."
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she didn't understand.
A normal person would think it was Lu Haiyao who stabbed him. Who would stab him in the heart with a knife?
"Did I hear correctly?"
"Aren't you protecting her?"
Aunt Zhang's expression was exaggerated and unbelievable.
Gu Tingchuan nodded and raised the corners of his mouth helplessly, "I didn't protect her. Go back and tell her that I'm fine. This injury is nothing. Don't let her have random thoughts at home."
Although Aunt Zhang couldn't understand it, she didn't feel comfortable asking more questions. She sighed, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and take a look."
*****
When Aunt Zhang returned home, Lu Haiyao had already returned to the bedroom.
She stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside.
Sighing, I wondered how this woman looked worried about Tingchuan's safety?
No, they all lay down and fell asleep.
After Aunt Zhang left, Haiyao looked at the door and sat on the bed with a dull expression. There was no light in the room, and it was pitch black...
