Chapter 300 - 299: Suspicion
Guo Ming, upon hearing Ding Yuejun’s words, couldn’t help but say, "I will thoroughly investigate this matter, and I must find out who is behind it. I really want to see who keeps trying to harm you repeatedly." However, he was also puzzled and thought that Ding Yuejun was just an ordinary woman. Who would want to harm her? It was truly baffling.
At this moment, Yiyi spoke up from the side, "Master, you can start by investigating the Ding Family."
Upon hearing this, Guo Ming looked at his young apprentice and asked, "Could there be something wrong with the Ding Family?"
"I think there is something wrong."
The reaction of Mr. Ding when he saw my mother last time was the biggest problem.
"Alright, then let’s start investigating from the Ding Family." Guo Ming naturally trusted his young apprentice.
Ding Yuejun frowned and said, "Are you talking about Shu Yunfang’s maternal family?"
Because Shu Yunfang liked Gu Tingyu, she ended up resenting Yiyi. Last time, someone from the Shu Family even kidnapped her to support Shu Yunfang, trying to threaten Yiyi. Fortunately, she was rescued later.
Thinking about this, Ding Yuejun was suddenly stunned, then realized.
"Could it be that the matter with Shu Qiang last time was actually the Ding Family causing trouble behind the scenes?"
"This matter is not certain yet; we need to investigate before we know." Yiyi couldn’t fully guarantee at this moment, especially since the Ding Family was that kind of family. Even if they really wanted to investigate, they had to be cautious, "Master, the Ding Family is very powerful in Shangjing, you must be careful when investigating."
Guo Ming naturally understood the stakes involved.
"Don’t worry, all you need to do now is to recuperate well, and don’t worry about anything else."
Ding Yuejun, upon hearing this, nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Yiyi, focus on recovering. Don’t worry about anything else." But towards the end, she was a little worried again, "The engagement date is approaching, and I don’t know if you’ll be able to walk by then. If not, we’ll have to choose another date."
Guo Ming then remembered the engagement of his young apprentice and widened his eyes, saying, "Yiyi has sustained such serious injuries, yet you’re thinking about engagement. Her recovery is the most important. If the Gu Family can’t even understand this, then Yiyi shouldn’t consider Gu Tingyu." Originally, he was reluctant for his young apprentice to get married. If the Gu Family didn’t consider Yiyi’s well-being, he’d be glad to keep his apprentice with him.
At this time, Ding Yuejun also nodded in agreement, "Exactly, if the Gu Family really doesn’t understand, then we really need to reconsider."
In adversity, true feelings are revealed, and this is when one can best see the other party’s attitude.
Yiyi, seeing her master and mother like this, couldn’t help but feel a little helpless.
"Mom, Master, you’re worrying too much. Gu Tingyu will definitely put me first."
She was confident about this.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door of the ward. Ding Yuejun quickly got up to open the door.
Upon seeing the visitors, she quickly said, "Mr. and Mrs. Gu, what brings you here?" They had just been talking about the Gu Family, and now the two elders were anxiously here to see their daughter. She suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, considering how much the two elders valued Yiyi, she shouldn’t have doubted them.
"Yue Jun, we heard that Yiyi got injured, is it serious?"
Old Mrs. Gu asked worriedly, then took a look inside. When she saw Yiyi’s pale face, she couldn’t help but feel distressed, "Yiyi, where are you hurt? It must be very painful, look at your pale face, without a trace of blood."
Old Mr. Gu’s eyes were also full of concern. He genuinely liked this granddaughter-in-law, considering her as part of the family. It was unexpected that she got injured in broad daylight, "Yiyi, do you know who the attackers were?"
"Grandpa, I’m still not sure right now, we need to investigate to find out."
Old Mr. Gu, hearing this, said, "Rest assured, I will investigate this matter thoroughly, we mustn’t let those people get away." He had already heard about the danger at the time, if it weren’t for Wei Hanliang from the Wei Family appearing just in time, Yiyi and several others might have lost their lives. However, he also had some doubts in his mind, knowing that the targets were Ding Yuejun, which he couldn’t quite grasp.
Upon hearing this, Yiyi smiled and said, "Then I’ll trouble you, Grandpa."
"Yiyi, we’re family, there’s no need to say anything like that. If you’re bullied, it’s as if we’re being bullied. We must stand up for you, otherwise, what kind of elders are we?" Old Mrs. Gu quickly waved her hand and said, finally reminding Yiyi to take good care of herself.
"In a few days, Tingyu will be back, and when he sees you like this, he’ll definitely be heartbroken, so you must take care of your body. As for the engagement, don’t worry, we can always choose another day."
Yiyi nodded with a smile, and said, "Alright."
After a few more words, the elders of the Gu Family left. After all, Yiyi had just been seriously injured, and their prolonged stay might affect her rest.
After Old Mr. Gu and Old Mrs. Gu left, Guo Ming also planned to leave, to avoid disturbing the recuperation of his young apprentice.
Yiyi called out to Guo Ming and said, "Master, can you find someone to invite Master Kong? I’d like him to take a look at Xiao Wu, to see if he can do anything."
Upon hearing this, Guo Ming immediately said, "Don’t worry, I’ll send someone at once to invite him and have your master also take a look at you. If there’s any way to enhance your recovery, that would be best."
Ding Yuejun quickly nodded on the side and said, "Yes, yes, how did I forget about Master Kong."
When Kong Mingsheng arrived and saw Yiyi’s condition, he couldn’t help but say, "What happened? How did you end up like this in just two days?"
As he spoke, his expression became serious, feeling Yiyi’s pulse, and he gravely reminded, "Injuries like these need a hundred days to recuperate, you must not take this lightly."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun immediately said, "Don’t worry, Master Kong, I will keep a close watch on Yiyi, I won’t let her be careless."
Kong Mingsheng, hearing this, felt a bit reassured.
Yiyi then mentioned about Pei Wu.
"Master, could you help me check on someone? He’s severely injured and hasn’t yet escaped danger. He got hurt protecting my mother, if something happens, both my mother and I would be very upset."
Ding Yuejun also pleaded from the side, "Yes, Master Kong, please do take a look at Xiao Wu, that child has been through so much."
In the end, her eyes grew misty.
Every time she thought of Pei Wu’s tenacity, repeatedly standing up to protect her, she felt both moved and saddened. The child was still so young, if something really happened, how could she ever face his parents?
Kong Mingsheng responded, "Don’t worry, I’ll go take a look now, but I can’t make any guarantees. I can only promise to do my utmost to treat him."
"Thank you, Master."
