Lin Yuer woke up from her dream and saw that the person next to her had lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
On the opposite side, the little pokeweed also woke up, with its eyes wide open, especially bright in the darkness. The clownfish on the table turned over in the water, and splashed with its tail, showing its usual dissatisfaction.
Gu Xicen answered the phone and heard Aunt Hua's hoarse voice from crying: "Second Young Master... Master, he... has passed away."
His mind went blank for a few seconds, and Gu Xicen's body froze. He opened his mouth, and after a while he said, "I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, he immediately put on his clothes, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Yuer sat up and asked, "Xicen, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa... passed away." His voice was low.
When Lin Yuer heard this, she quickly got out of bed, "Why...how could it be so sudden?" She hurriedly picked up her clothes and said, "I'll go with you."
The two of them immediately dressed up. Lin Yuer picked up the little merchant and went to the room opposite Yangduo and the prince, knocking on the door.
Soon, the prince opened the door and said, "Xiaoyue?"
"Third brother, help me take care of Gaolu. We have to go back to Gu's house."
The prince took the little one and saw how anxious she was. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Xicen's grandfather... passed away."
The prince was shocked, and took the little merchant back to the room and handed it to Yangduo. He immediately put on his clothes and went out.
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
When she came to the living room, Nuan Nuan was still awake and was staying up late to do a set of exercises that Roberts had given her. When she saw a few people coming down in a hurry, she knew something had happened and got up quickly.
"Nuan Nuan, come with us." The prince said.
"Yeah!" Wen Nuan didn't ask anything and just followed.
But after taking a few steps, her expression changed. She blinked her cute big eyes and whispered: "Warm, does this mean we don't have to do exercises anymore?"
Immediately, her expression changed again, and then she said coldly: "Shut up, if you weren't stupid, would you be able to do it now?"
After the training, she continued to look cold and firm, and followed the prince and others into the car.
The car started and drove towards Gu's house.
Just when they arrived at Gu's house, another car also drove up the winding mountain road at an extremely fast speed.
The car stopped, Gu Xicen got out of the car and looked at the back of the car. Gu Wangchuan also happened to get out of the car. The two of them just stared at each other from a distance of less than three meters.
"Xicen, let's go in quickly!" Lin Yuer walked out and looked up and saw Gu Wangchuan.
She just nodded at him slightly, then pulled Gu Xicen and walked in quickly.
Gu Wangchuan stood there, his eyes narrowed, and he followed slowly.
The hall was brightly lit, and several doctors and nurses were walking down the stairs. Gu Xicen stepped forward and grabbed one of the doctors: "My grandpa... how is he?"
Even though he knew the result, he still couldn't help but ask.
Maybe...maybe it's a mistake.
The doctor shook his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Second Young Master, we have done our best."
Gu Xicen's hand suddenly slipped down, and her eyes lost focus for a moment.
After hearing the doctor's words, Gu Wangchuan's footsteps stopped.
Even if that person is no longer even remotely related to him, he is still the person he has called "Grandpa" for more than thirty years! It is undeniable that no matter how strict he is, he has devoted all his efforts to himself.
.To say you are not sad is to deceive yourself.
When I came upstairs and pushed open the room, Aunt Hua was sobbing inside. She raised her head and saw them coming in. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she choked and said, "Master... went away peacefully..."
Gu Xicen took a deep breath, suppressed the rise and fall of her chest, and walked over slowly.
Gu Changtian was lying quietly on the bed, his face was calm and serene, his hands were casually placed on his chest, and there was a hint of relief at the corner of his mouth.
Lin Yuer stood outside the bedroom, watching Gu Xicen kneel down little by little, tears falling uncontrollably.
She couldn't tell whether she was more resentful than grateful towards Gu Changtian, or whether she was more grateful than resentful.
Without him, the Lin family would not be as devastated as it is today, but without him, perhaps Lin Yuer would not be where it is now.
The dead are gone, but the living are like this.
Facing Gu Changtian at this time, how could there be any resentment?
Gu Wangchuan almost lost control of his feet and walked forward unconsciously.
Looking at Gu Changtian's face that looked like he was asleep, his chest seemed to be blocked by something.
That night passed extremely long, and no one fell asleep. Until the next morning, the two Gu brothers quietly took care of their grandfather's affairs.
Lin Yuer was a little weak after giving birth and was afraid that she would be too tired. Gu Xicen wanted the prince to send her back, but she refused and insisted on staying here with him no matter what.
Gu Xicen knew her temperament, so she asked Aunt Hua to clean up her room so that she could rest at any time.
Aunt Hua pushed her into the room and insisted that she take a nap.
"Aunt Hua, I'm not tired."
"You've stayed up all night, how can you not be tired? There will be a lot of people coming today, so you can rest here. The eldest and second young masters are there for everything."
"I understand." Lin Yuer nodded obediently, and Aunt Hua left with satisfaction.
Her relationship with Gu Xicen has not been made public, and not many people know about it. It is really easy to catch people's mouth when she appears at this time. She doesn't want to hear those rumors, she just wants to be by Xi Cen's side quietly.
.
Lin Yuer was lying on the bed, not asleep. Listening to the sounds downstairs, people began to come to the door from time to time. In addition, there were people who came to decorate the mourning hall and arrange funeral arrangements, which made some noise.
She sat up and looked out the window. The bright sunshine filtered through the plain curtains, and she felt indescribably peaceful and comfortable. The time came closer, as if it brought her back to the year she spent in the Lin family.
Because of Grandpa Gu, she married Gu Wangchuan. Although it was a bad relationship, it was precisely because of this experience that she had the happiness she had with Xi Cen.
It's all predestined, and it's hard to tell who repaid whom's love and who paid whose debt.
There were footsteps in the corridor, which were heavy and tired. Then, the door on the opposite side was pushed open.
She knew that the room facing her was Gu Wangchuan's room.
Lin Yuer sat silently in the room. Compared to Grandpa Gu, her feelings for Gu Wangchuan were much more complicated.
Not long after, she heard a suppressed cry, which was equally heavy and exhausted.
She was startled, a little disbelieving, and listened carefully to confirm that it was crying.
Lin Yuer hesitated, but got up, opened the door and walked out.
The door of Gu Wangchuan's room was not closed, and the light in the room was very dark. With the sunshade blocked, he sat on the sofa in the living room, covering his face with his hands, as if curling up in this closed space, crying alone.
Standing at the door, Lin Yuer pursed her dry lips and slowly said: "You..."
Hearing her voice, Gu Wangchuan was startled. He raised his head and saw her standing at the door. Without saying a word, he stood up, turned around, and immediately wiped the tears from his face.
"I'm fine." He said stiffly.
Lin Yue'er stared at his back and lowered her eyes again, "Don't be too sad about Grandpa Gu."
Gu Wangchuan took a few breaths in a row, then turned around little by little and looked at her: "Why should I be sad? To him... I am actually nothing."
Lin Yuer tightened her eyebrows and raised her eyes to lock his eyes: "How can you say that? The person that Grandpa Gu values the most and is proud of is you!"
Looking at her sullenness, Gu Wangchuan guessed that Gu Xicen didn't tell her anything about him. Maybe she wanted to save her last face for him. After all, he hurt her in the name of hatred, and in the end,
His hatred is so ridiculous.
He should be grateful to Xi Cen.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Xiao Yue, I may not be able to repay what I owe you in my lifetime. But I still want to tell you that I'm sorry..."
Lin Yuer turned away and said slowly: "Don't mention the past anymore."
"No! For you, it's a thing of the past, but for me, it's like yesterday...or what happened a minute or a second ago...I can't forget your tears, I can't forget...Peppermint
The way it looks.”
Hearing him mention mint, Lin Yue'er's weakest and sharpest nerve was suddenly touched. She interrupted him almost subconsciously, "Gu Wangchuan, the past cannot be undone by regretting it now.
Instead of repenting, it’s better to live your life and don’t make the same mistakes again.”
Mint is a scar in her body that will never heal. She would rather suffer the pain than show it to others.
Especially Gu Wangchuan.
"Xiaoyue!" Gu Wangchuan took a step forward, looking at her with a deep and somewhat persistent gaze: "You know, I treat you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yue'er raised her head, stared at him, and said word by word: "There will never be any intersection between us. I can convince myself not to hate you, but I can't be the one to do it."
Nothing will happen. Moreover, I have my happiness, and in order to protect it, I will not allow anyone to destroy it! Can you understand?"
At this time, Lin Yue'er seemed to have thorns all over her body, not letting him get close. Gu Wangchuan's eyes trembled slightly, and he turned away his face, not wanting to see her determination at this moment.
"You should know that I will never hurt you again..."
"But, you hurt the person I love the most, which is the same as hurting me! Gu Wangchuan, he is your brother, your biological brother, why should you have such a deep hatred that you have to fight to the death? You are still the same person I know.
Gu Wangchuan? No matter how cruel you were before, you protected your family well and never let others hurt them! What now? You are hurting them with your own hands! "
Lin Yue'er couldn't hide her excitement. Now that she had said this, what else could she keep?
Tulang Mountain and Cardamom Mountain, he has put the Hunter Alliance in danger time and time again! Is it just because of her that he hates Xi Cen so much? Then his hatred may not be extremely narrow!
Facing her accusation, Gu Wangchuan's eyes changed, "I never wanted to really hurt him!" He growled, his cheeks turning red, "I want to defeat the Hunter Alliance and prove my strength.
, but I never really wanted to hurt him!”
Lin Yue'er shook his head and laughed, "If you want to deal with the Hunter Alliance, what's the difference between holding a knife to his neck? How could he watch you hurt his brother?"
Gu Wangchuan suddenly laughed, his smile was sad and self-deprecating: "I don't know how I can prove it.
