Chapter 912 - 908:
The gathering place was quite lively.
Although all those present were from the research institute, just like Su Hang had said, they were all very friendly.
Gu Xiaoning sat in the corner, but despite that, she still found it hard to integrate with them.
She looked up at the window, and at some point. . . it had started to snow.
It’s snowing? What about Ah Sheng?
Gu Xiaoning was restless. . .
"Gu Xiaoning." Su Hang came over, holding a glass of milk in his hand, "Drink this."
Gu Xiaoning nodded and took it, "Okay."
Su Hang frowned, "Is it hot?"
"Ah?" Gu Xiaoning absentmindedly shook her head, "Not hot."
Su Hang’s brow furrowed even tighter, "You haven’t even drunk it, how do you know it’s not hot?"
" . . . " Gu Xiaoning was stunned and still did not react.
"Ai. . ." Su Hang saw her condition was really not good, picked up his coat, "Forget it, I’ll just take you back!"
Gu Xiaoning stood motionless, utterly confused. . . Su Hang had to reach out, pull her, and walk straight out.
Suddenly, the door was slammed open!
"Gu Xiaoning!" The person who rushed in was Sister Gu!
Sister Gu’s eyes were bloodshot, and she immediately started hitting Gu Xiaoning, "Gu Xiaoning! You ungrateful girl! Do you want to drive me crazy?"
" . . . " Gu Xiaoning stood still, allowing her mother to vent.
In fact, she really wished her mother would do this now!
The pain was almost unbearable. . .
Seeing this, Su Hang hurriedly stepped forward to shield Gu Xiaoning, preventing Sister Gu, "Auntie, don’t do this! She’s pregnant!"
Sister Gu glared at Su Hang, wishing she could tear him apart too, "You still know she’s pregnant? Why? Young man, there are plenty of women in this world and many good girls as well! Why must you kidnap my daughter? She has a husband and children!"
"I . . ." Su Hang was speechless; how was he supposed to explain this?
"You’re not my child!" Sister Gu shook her head, sneering, "I can’t control you! But Gu Xiaoning is my daughter! I have the right to control her!"
She tightly grasped Gu Xiaoning, "Come with me!"
With such force, she almost strangled Gu Xiaoning blue and purple.
Su Hang looked on in unbearable pain, "Auntie. . . "
"Shut up!" Sister Gu’s eyes were bloodshot, "If you stop me again, I will really be rude to you! My daughter turned out like this, disgracing the Lezheng Family, what else do I have to worry about?"
With a heavy force, she almost dragged Gu Xiaoning away!
"Ungrateful girl, come with me!"
"Mom!" Gu Xiaoning cried all the way, "Mom, believe me. . . I, I have my reasons for doing this!"
Sister Gu did not listen, "What reasons? You’re pregnant and with this man, what reasons? Hurry up and leave!"
Sister Gu kept dragging Gu Xiaoning to the door, pointing outside, "Look! Gu Xiaoning, look! How can you do this to him?"
" . . . "
With just one glance, Gu Xiaoning’s tears could no longer be stopped. Her knees went soft, and she knelt down on the floor.
At the doorway, Le Zhengsheng was still standing there! Even with the snow, he hadn’t moved. . . like a statue!
"Ah. . ." Gu Xiaoning clutched her chest, her insides twisting in pain.
Sister Gu cried, "Ningning! How did Mom teach you? Didn’t Mom raise you to be like this? Ah Sheng is the husband you chose! Ah Sheng always treats you like a child, and you really think you can be willful as one?"
"Woo woo. . ." Gu Xiaoning clutched her chest, crying, unable to speak a word.
"Ningning!" Sister Gu’s heart ached too, "You are my daughter, where under the sky would a mother not want the best for her child? Consider it as Mom begging you. . . "
With those words, Sister Gu knelt down with a thud.
"Ningning! Mom is begging you! Mom is kneeling before you! Wake up! You can’t go on like this! Ah Sheng is still waiting for you to turn back, where else would you find such a husband? If his heart turns cold, you can never get it back!"
"Ah. . . "
Gu Xiaoning was crying so hard, she could barely breathe.
"Ningning!" Sister Gu embraced her daughter, her eyes red, "Listen to Mom and come home with me, alright?"
"Ah, ah. . ." Gu Xiaoning’s chest twisted in pain, biting her lower lip tightly.
Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted!
"Ningning!"
"Gu Xiaoning!"
Su Hang was shocked and stepped forward to hold Gu Xiaoning.
Sister Gu pushed him away, "Get away! You, who destroy other people’s happiness, heaven will not forgive you!"
"Auntie!" Su Hang was anxious, "Your daughter has fainted! Can I take her to the hospital, please?"
"No need!" Sister Gu refused to let Su Hang come closer, gritting her teeth, "She’s my daughter, doing such shameless things, it’s only right for her to die! I’ll just pretend I never gave birth to this daughter!"
"Auntie!"
Su Hang was frantic, and quickly called for Le Zhengsheng.
"Mr. Le Zheng, please go and look at Gu Xiaoning! Her mother won’t let us take her to the hospital!"
Le Zhengsheng was taken aback and immediately began to run back in.
"Ningning!"
Le Zhengsheng took off his coat, wrapped Gu Xiaoning, and picked her up.
"Mom! Go start the car!"
Sister Gu hurriedly nodded, "Ah, okay!"
. . .
In the hospital, Gu Xiaoning opened her eyes.
Su Hang was guarding beside the bed, "You’re awake, are you feeling okay?"
Gu Xiaoning looked, "Where’s my mom?"
"Next door." Su Hang frowned and spoke in a deep voice, " . . . Le Zhengsheng has a fever."
"?"
As soon as Gu Xiaoning heard this, she immediately sat up from the bed. "Where is he? I want to go see him. . . "
Su Hang didn’t stop her, the situation’s developments had exceeded his expectations. . .
However, Gu Xiaoning stopped herself.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Xiaoning looked at him, "If I break the agreement. . . will you save Ah Sheng?"
Su Hang couldn’t bear it, but he still had to tell her, "This is confidential. . . Until success, it’s all absolutely confidential, if you. . . "
He didn’t continue, but Gu Xiaoning understood.
She didn’t have a choice.
In despair, Gu Xiaoning sat down, "I understand now."
Su Hang opened his mouth, "Actually, you can still go see him. . . As long as you follow the confidentiality agreement. . . "
"Heh." Gu Xiaoning shook her head, chuckling.
She lay back on the bed, "No need."
If nothing can change the outcome, then what is there to see? Seeing him one more time is just more harm to Ah Sheng.
Su Hang thought for a moment, "I know I can’t help, but using the reality to persuade you. . . After the agreement, your husband’s low immunity and periodic treatments will cease; what you give up now will be rewarded."
"Woo woo. . . "
Gu Xiaoning pulled the blanket over her head; she knew.
There are no free benefits in the world, Ah Sheng’s health versus her happiness, purity, reputation. . . Which is more important?
She still remembered Le Zhengpeng’s gaze at her, "Ningning, Ah Sheng is my only surviving son out of nine. . . "
The Lezheng Family had been so good to her, yet what she could do was so limited!
Chapter 607: Who Benefits From It?
Gu Xiaoning changed her clothes, ready to be discharged from the hospital.
There was nothing much wrong with her, it was just because she had been too agitated.
