"Grandma Gu, you can't help here. You have to take good care of yourself. Gu Xiao is most concerned about you. I'll have someone send you home first. You can come visit him tomorrow during the day, okay?"
Fu Nanli looked at his little girl, spoke softly and tenderly, and was extremely gentle and kind to the old woman, as if he was coaxing a child. He was very patient, and his heart softened into a puddle of mud.
Grandma Gu was eventually sent back home by Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao and Fu Nanli spent the whole night in the hospital, so naturally neither of them slept well.
The next morning, on Jingnan Road, the winter sun shone warmly on the white courtyard wall, and sparrows perched on the branches chirped non-stop.
The old lady got up early in the morning to cook porridge. The patient cannot eat too much meat and fish, only light food. She planned to cook some millet porridge, stir-fry some vegetables and mushrooms, and put them in the thermal lunch box to send to her Ah Xiao.
"Click, click." There was the sound of high heels hitting the ground outside.
Gu Yunzhu was holding a brand-name bag and asked in a somewhat exasperated voice, "Where's Gu Xiao? Where's Gu Xiao?"
Grandma Gu put down the spatula in her hand.
Gu Yunzhu suddenly pushed open the kitchen door, her voice and expression were very sharp: "Where's Gu Xiao?"
Grandma Gu asked angrily, "Why are you looking for him again?"
"Did he lose patience and go find Fu Nanli? He is really incapable of doing anything but always causing trouble. Why did he take the initiative to find someone from the Fu family at this time? We should wait for the Fu family to come and negotiate with us. Where is he?"
"Pa" a loud slap hit Gu Yunzhu's face.
"Mom!" Gu Yunzhu screamed at the top of her lungs, "You hit me?"
Grandma Gu was furious. "I'm going to hit you. I want to ask you, is it you who exposed that Xiao is the illegitimate child of the Fu family?"
Gu Yunzhu did not repent, and even felt that she had done nothing wrong. "So what if I exposed it? This will put the Fu family in a passive position, and we can negotiate terms. Do you understand?"
"So Xiao is just a tool for making money in your eyes, right? Do you know how many people called to scold him after this incident was exposed? Those words stabbed his heart like a knife. The child is a sensitive child. You are rubbing salt into his wound. Are you willing to kill him? You, as a biological mother, are really not as good as Xiao's half brother. At least he knows to care about Xiao. You are really unworthy of being a mother."
Gu Yunzhu was almost jumping up and down, "How did I harm him? Don't you understand that it's good to have money? When my father was rich, people were fawning on us, but after my family went bankrupt, everyone came to step on us. Is it wrong for me to want money?"
Grandma Gu had tears in her eyes. "It's useless for me to talk to you. You put your son in intensive care and you still don't repent. I think you are hopeless."
"What intensive care?"
Grandma Gu leaned on the stove weakly: "Ah Xiao thought it was the young master of the Fu family who exposed this matter, so he went to settle the score with him, and then he was seriously injured."
Gu Yunzhu's eyes lit up when she heard this: "This way we have evidence that Fu Nanli hurt someone, and public opinion will be more favorable to us."
Grandma Gu suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Are you crazy? Your son is in the intensive care unit, and you don't care about his condition, but you are still scheming against him. Go away, and I will pretend that I have never raised you."
