Chapter 305 - 304: Coming to Meet
Chen Meilian heard her daughter’s words, snorted coldly, and said, "What fate? If your father and I truly had fate, would he still treat me like this?"
Seeing her mother’s face filled with resentment, Ding Yating fell silent.
Indeed, her father had never liked her mother; his heart must still be thinking of that Wu Meng. At this moment, she remembered the earlier question, "Mom, what happened to the child afterward?"
Ever since she could remember, the Ding Family only had her as a child, so what about her father’s first daughter?
"Naturally, she went with her mother."
Ding Yating, although she had some guesswork in her heart, couldn’t help but open her mouth slightly at her mother’s words, "This... It seems she has no fate with Father either."
"Hmph... Of course, she has no fate with the Ding Family. Even if she had, I certainly wouldn’t allow it."
In the end, Chen Meilian’s voice became low, making it seem as if nothing she said could be heard.
But Ding Yating heard clearly, and she couldn’t help but feel her heart pounding as she glanced at her mother, "Mom, did you... did you do something?"
Chen Meilian looked at her daughter, her expression natural as she said, "Of course not, don’t speak nonsense. Alright, you’ve learned everything you wanted to know, so hurry back."
Ding Yating wanted to ask more questions, wanting to know how her half-sister ended up, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her mother impatiently waved her hand and said, "Alright, hurry back. Don’t come again these days; I have things to do and might not be in the mood to entertain you."
Hearing this, Ding Yating closed her mouth and didn’t say more, nor did she ask what her mother was busy with. "Mom, since that’s the case, I’ll head back first."
After Ding Yating left, Chen Meilian sat a while longer and then called Sister in law Chang in.
"Go and find out where Mr. Ding has gone, and... try to make a trip to the back to see if Old Qi and the others are there."
Sister in law Chang heard this and immediately responded with a smile, "Don’t worry, madam, I’ll go ask right away."
Not long after, Sister in law Chang returned, but her expression didn’t look well.
"Madam, it seems Mr. Ding went to deal with work affairs, and as for the back, no one has seen Old Qi return."
Hearing this, Chen Meilian’s impatience grew, and she waved her hand directly, saying, "Alright, I’ve got it, you can leave now."
After Sister in law Chang left, Chen Meilian paced back and forth in the room and then left directly.
Since Old Qi and the others hadn’t returned, something must have changed; she couldn’t wait any longer lest Ding Wenzhi discovers anything. She needed to find out about Ding Yue Jun’s current situation.
Meanwhile, Ding Yue Jun was in Pei Wu’s hospital room, slowly peeling an apple for him.
"Xiao Wu, the doctor says you’re recovering well and can have some fruit. Try to eat a little later."
Pei Wu smiled and nodded at those words. After eating two pieces of apple, he looked at Ding Yue Jun and said, "Aunt Ding, you should go take care of the Young Master. I’m alright now; didn’t the doctor say everything is fine once I’m awake?"
"It’s okay. Yiyi has Tingyu over there, so you don’t need to worry. It’s you who doesn’t really have anyone taking care of you."
Hearing this, Pei Wu couldn’t help but smile wryly.
"Aunt Ding, my cousin comes to take care of me, so you really don’t need to worry."
"Your cousin is so busy; he always comes in a hurry, so what can he take care of? Alright, don’t say more, just eat another piece of apple." Not that she wanted to say it, but Pei Jin really wasn’t someone who could take care of others. So, with Gu Tingyu taking care of Yiyi, she tried to come to take care of Pei Wu whenever possible.
Yiyi was indeed being taken care of by Gu Tingyu at this moment. She frowned as she looked at the chicken soup before her and couldn’t help but say, "I’m really full. I can’t drink anymore."
Gu Tingyu scooped another half bowl and said, "Be good, drink a bit more; you haven’t had much today."
Yiyi, seeing Gu Tingyu’s insistence, could only drink a little more.
Seeing this, Gu Tingyu finally put away the thermos, "Alright, lie back for a while; I’ll peel an apple for you later."
"Okay."
As they were speaking, there was some commotion at the door, and it turned out Gu Yaohua and Yu Qiulan had come.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
Gu Tingyu greeted his parents indifferently.
Yu Qiulan heard her son’s words and responded with a slightly awkward smile, "Since Yiyi is hospitalized, we definitely came to see her."
Before, when their son mentioned postponing the engagement with Mo Yiyi, she couldn’t resist muttering a few words; as a result, their son packed up and went to the hospital, never returning home. Though angry, there was nothing she could do, especially since Mo Yiyi was hospitalized; she had to come look, or else, who knows what her in-laws might say.
Beside her, Gu Yaohua quickly added, "Yes, Yiyi was seriously injured; we’re very worried and naturally had to come see. Just blame us for not knowing sooner; we should have come earlier."
Yiyi heard this and smiled lightly, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt, for coming to see me, but I’m really fine now, so don’t worry."
Seeing Yiyi’s spirit, Gu Yaohua felt relieved.
"That’s good, it’s most important to rest and heal now."
At this moment, Yu Qiulan finally spoke, "Yes, getting well is the most important. As for the engagement, we’ll work a bit more to notify everyone individually, to avoid anyone making the trip for nothing."
Gu Tingyu frowned at his mother and said, "Mom, I’ll handle the notifications, so you don’t need to worry. Since you’ve seen Yiyi, you should go back first to let her rest."
Upon hearing her son’s words, Yu Qiulan couldn’t help but glare at him, "We just got here, and you’re telling us to leave. Do you not want to see us?"
Gu Tingyu didn’t speak, but the look in his eyes conveyed just that.
Yu Qiulan was quite angry but ultimately left with her husband.
Yiyi looked at Gu Tingyu with a smile that didn’t quite fit the situation, "Actually, you don’t have to be like this. Your mother isn’t a complicated person; she just likes to complain occasionally. You should just let her vent."
"Alright, let’s not talk about this, have some apple."
While talking, Gu Tingyu had already peeled the apple. He didn’t hand it to Yiyi, instead directly picking up a piece and offering it to Yiyi’s mouth.
Yiyi’s eyes filled with amusement, as even her gaze brightened with a smile. She took a big bite of the apple and praised Gu Tingyu for peeling it well.
As they were speaking, someone arrived, but Yiyi didn’t recognize the person, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
Gu Tingyu stood up unexpectedly, "Mr. Ding, why did you come over?"
