Chapter 913 - 909
The door had just opened when Aunt Gu came in again.
Aunt Gu looked cold, "Where are you going?"
"..." Gu Xiaoning lowered her head, "Mom, I want to go back."
Aunt Gu nodded, "Okay, then come back with me now."
She came up and pulled her daughter to leave...
"Mom!" Gu Xiaoning struggled, "I don’t want to go back to Holy City!"
"Then what do you want to do?" Aunt Gu shook her arm, unable to control her emotions, "Gu Xiaoning, you really are... Why have you become like this? Even if I kneel down to you, it’s no use? Are you still my obedient daughter?"
"Mom." Gu Xiaoning really didn’t know what to say.
"Gu Xiaoning..." The door opened, it was Su Hang, he had come to pick up Gu Xiaoning.
The moment Aunt Gu saw him, her eyes turned red.
"It’s all you! You turned my daughter into this! Give me back my good little girl!"
Aunt Gu lost control of her emotions, rushed to the fruit knife on the coffee table, and dashed toward Su Hang.
"Mom!" Gu Xiaoning screamed in fright.
Su Hang was shocked, hurriedly raising his hand to try to catch Aunt Gu. "Auntie, calm down!"
"How can I be calm?" Aunt Gu’s eyes were red, "Today I’m going to fight it out with you, the homewrecker!"
Rip...
In the struggle, the knife slashed Su Hang’s arm, blood oozed out!
"..." Aunt Gu froze, obviously frightened.
In her entire life, she’d never done anything like this?
"Mom!" Gu Xiaoning cried in fear, "Are you alright?"
Aunt Gu was in a daze, shaking her head.
Gu Xiaoning looked apologetically at Su Hang, "I’m sorry!"
Su Hang took the knife away and threw it aside, "I’m fine."
The situation had developed to this point, seemingly with no turning back.
...
Gu Xiaoning pleaded with Su Hang, "Can you let me meet your professor? Let me beg him."
Su Hang frowned, "I can let you meet him, but... my professor is even more stubborn than I am."
"Let me try?" Gu Xiaoning wouldn’t give up, "Maybe... he has a kind heart like you? Mr. Su Hang, I know, you’ve already softened..."
Su Hang furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, "Alright, I promise you."
...
In the B University professor’s office, Gu Xiaoning, pregnant, knelt straight down!
Su Hang couldn’t bear to watch and waited outside the whole time.
Inside, the sound of Gu Xiaoning’s cries came through...
"Professor, I beg you... Don’t let my husband know? He will surely keep the secret!"
...
The door opened, and Gu Xiaoning walked out.
Su Hang quickly stepped forward, "How was it? What did the professor say?"
Gu Xiaoning’s tears hadn’t stopped, "The professor said he would consider it..."
She suddenly grabbed Su Hang’s hand, "Mr. Su Hang, is there hope?"
Su Hang furrowed his brow, "Did the professor really say he would consider it?"
"Yes!" Gu Xiaoning nodded, "He isn’t just fobbing me off, right?"
"...No." Su Hang smiled lightly, "Then maybe there truly is hope, the professor is never someone who says things lightly."
"Really?" Gu Xiaoning finally had a faint smile, "If that’s the case, then that’s wonderful!"
Ah Sheng, wait for me a little longer...
...
Evening, at Professor Cui’s home.
Daughter Cui Ruoya just returned, and the family was giving her a welcoming gathering.
It wasn’t until very late that they tidied up and rested.
The father and daughter were still talking in the study, Cui Ruoya adjusting to the time difference, still quite spirited.
"Dad, that patient’s information, let me have a look..."
Professor Cui nodded, took out Le Zhengsheng’s information from the drawer, "Here... it’s considered a relatively famous case, do you have confidence?"
"Let me see." Cui Ruoya opened the file bag and began to look through it.
This contained all of Le Zhengsheng’s treatment records, all organized by Gu Xiaoning... very detailed, naturally to cooperate with the doctor to provide the best treatment for her husband. It even included his usual diet, water intake, and so on—all documented meticulously.
"Tsk." Cui Ruoya couldn’t help but click her tongue, "So detailed! This person seems to be doing this with a lot of emotion."
"Of course." Professor Cui nodded, "It’s his wife."
"..."
Cui Ruoya paused, suddenly asking, "Le Zhengsheng? From the Lezheng family in Holy City, Le Zhengsheng?"
"Yes!" Professor Cui raised his eyebrows, "Didn’t I say, it’s quite a famous case?"
Cui Ruoya opened her mouth, smiled... it turned out to be him!
But, he’s actually married? Wasn’t he always pursuing that Yu Sangwan? No woman could enter his heart... So what’s with this wife? Ha! Turns out saying he’d be with Yu Sangwan for a lifetime was all nonsense!
Cui Ruoya sneered, "Indeed, quite famous."
"Sigh..." Professor Cui sighed, "His wife, though young, really moved me. I’m considering whether to tell him about it... as long as he signs the confidentiality agreement, it wouldn’t ruin their nice little couple..."
"Dad!"
Cui Ruoya suddenly spoke up.
"Hmm?" Professor Cui was puzzled.
Cui Ruoya smiled, "That’s not following the rules."
Professor Cui nodded, "I know it’s not according to the rules, but..."
"Then don’t agree!" Cui Ruoya shook her head, "What’s going on with you? How can you compromise principles over something like this? Le Zhengsheng is not a participant in the project, and he’s the husband of the research subject. If something happens with the subject, he can easily become emotional! That would be detrimental to the research!"
Professor Cui was stunned for a moment, seemingly awakened by his daughter.
"Yes, how could I..."
"Dad!" Cui Ruoya laughed, "You’re really getting softer and softer! What we’re doing is for the benefit of the public, we can’t be easily shaken!"
Professor Cui laughed and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I’m getting old, but fortunately, I have you to carry on the legacy, I think you will be more professional than me in the future."
"Dad." Cui Ruoya smiled, "You will always be my idol."
Coming out of the study, Cui Ruoya held that file folder.
Le Zhengsheng, huh? Of course, she would try to save him... nowadays, she finally had that capability.
As for his wife? Tch... after witnessing Le Zhengsheng’s persistence for Yu Sangwan, Cui Ruoya was more certain than anyone that this so-called wife would be insignificant in Le Zhengsheng’s heart!
Probably took advantage of the vulnerability, huh?
Cui Ruoya returned to her room and checked the information on Le Zhengsheng’s wife...
As the wife of Director Le Zheng, there naturally would be information on Gu Xiaoning available online.
After checking, Cui Ruoya laughed even more.
A plain girl from Hai City... Le Zhengsheng was likely lonely, empty, and cold after six years of waiting for Yu Sangwan with no result, huh? Chose her to fill that void?
Tsk! Cui Ruoya sneered, why wasn’t she there then?
For whom did she study the medicine she disliked the most? Could it be that it was just to let this woman named Gu Xiaoning... enjoy the fruits of her labor? Absolutely not possible!
Chapter 608: Left with Nothing
Su Hang came to see Gu Xiaoning.
"How is it?" Gu Xiaoning stood up, looking at him full of hope.
Looking at her, Su Hang felt a deep compassion, "Gu Xiaoning..."
"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning tightly clenched her hands, her heart twisting.
Su Hang shook his head, unable to tell her directly.
"Shaking your head?" Gu Xiaoning’s heart sank, becoming anxious, grabbing Su Hang, "Mr. Su Hang, what does shaking your head mean? Don’t shake your head! Say something!"
Su Hang struggled to raise his head, "Gu Xiaoning, the professor said it doesn’t conform with the rules... the subsequent research is uncertain, your husband might become emotional, which would be detrimental to our research. If there were a leak..."
