"Do you know why I haven't gotten married yet? Do you know how I've been abroad in the past few years? You're just a pawn that Brother Xudong found as an excuse, how much do you think you know?!" Guo Yuqing glared at me with boiling eyes, and that look looked like he was going to eat me alive.

I shuddered silently, not because of the hatred in her eyes, but because I felt that if what she said was the truth, then she was actually quite pitiful.

Regardless of Lu Xudong's wishes, his father-in-law tried to manipulate his life, so he provoked father and son to turn against him, and he had been deadlocked for so many years, not to mention Guo Yuqing, who was equivalent to being abandoned by her parents at the same time, after she arrived at the Lu family, she must have really regarded her father-in-law as her biological parents for a long time, and what normal girl can accept her father doing such a thing to herself?

It's just that my father-in-law has the reason for being drunk, but I'm afraid that Guo Yuqing was also in a dilemma and very painful, right?

Looking at Guo Yuqing, who was on the verge of madness in front of me, I had a faint trace of pity in my heart.

I took a deep breath and calmly said to her, "Even if what you say is true, it's happened, Dad...... He...... You also said that he drank too much, and he has been trying very hard to make up for you...... Yes, he said that if Xudong is willing, he will let Xudong marry you, but the premise is that Xudong has always treated you as a sister, isn't it? You did so many cruel things because you didn't follow your heart because of this, aren't you afraid of regretting it in the future?"

"Regret?" Guo Yuqing sneered, "I only regret why I told Brother Xudong half a year in advance that I wanted to return to China, and even reminded him about the agreement! Do you think Lu Qishan is willing to let me marry into the Lu family to make up for me? It's not because of my father, not to mention that he can't marry my mother himself, just let his son marry me to fill the regret in his heart!" I didn't just report him for illegal loans, and you called me cruel, but when I knew that I was pregnant, and I couldn't figure out whether the child was my boyfriend's or the man I called my uncle, who understood the pain in my heart at that time?"

I looked at her in shock, and my mother-in-law, who was originally paralyzed on the sofa, also widened her eyes in shock because of these words: "Qingqing, you didn't lie to me......, did you?" Really?"

"It's not a glorious and worthy thing to show off, is it necessary for me to make it up to lie to you?" Guo Yuqing roared at her mother-in-law, saw her shrink for a moment, and hooked the corners of her lips with a sad expression: "You don't understand at all, I dated my boyfriend at the time for three years, was admitted to the same university, and made an appointment to get married as soon as I graduated from college...... But when that happened, I really didn't have the face to continue with him, I broke up with him, and after going abroad to kill the child, I also thought about trying to live a normal life, but I couldn't do it at all...... You say I'm cruel, but by whom did I live like this?"

I suddenly remembered what Lu Xudong once said, Guo Yuqing was hurt emotionally, she actually had someone in her heart, I always thought that he was prevaricating me, and I was suspicious of it, and I didn't take it seriously, but at this moment, I not only believed it, but even Guo Yuqing's words at night were believed.

Guo Yuqing stared at me with burning eyes, with strong hatred, as if he had no reason at all: "Do you know why I want to return to China? Because I heard that he was married, I suddenly figured it out, instead of torturing myself like this, I might as well marry Brother Xudong directly, I even thought that if Brother Xudong knew that one day his wife was pregnant with his father's child, what would his expression be!"

"You're crazy!" I can't listen to it anymore, even if I've been hurt, I don't need to be mentally distorted like this, right?!

"I'm just crazy, driven crazy by you!" she gritted her teeth and sneered a few times, and said to me sarcastically: "Aren't you very capable? Aren't you planning to completely break away from the Lu family with Brother Xudong? I asked Lu Qishan to threaten you with severing relations and you will not compromise, why are you jumping out again now? I just wait to see how you and Brother Xudong can live your little life with peace of mind, you have disappointed me so much! But don't expect me to let you go, if it weren't for Lu Qishan treating me like that at the beginning, I wouldn't have been in a state of limbo until now, if he hadn't fallen out with Brother Xudong, he wouldn't have married you in a moment of anger, you ruined my happy life and couldn't even make up for what you promised me, so don't think I'll make you better!"

After she finished speaking, she turned her eyes sharply to her mother-in-law who was in a trance: "And you, don't make such a heartbroken look, waiting for your sad things to come, you can hold on and take your time!"

"Guo Yuqing, don't go too far!" I thought she was going to talk about her father-in-law, my heart was shocked, and I was about to say something to stop it, but Guo Yuqing suddenly raised her voice and asked me: "Am I excessive?

She then said to her mother-in-law, who was looking at her with a disappointed face: "Don't look at me with such eyes, you're too deep into the play, aren't you? You really think of yourself as my mother? You ask yourself, are you really that great? Don't you just treat me as a substitute for your dead daughter? It is your family who should be grateful to me for filling your emotional void! And please make it clear that my surname is Guo, and I am not the unblessed short-lived ghost of your family!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her mother-in-law suddenly got up and reached out and slapped her in the face with lightning speed.

The mother-in-law was probably choked by her anger, and she exerted all her strength, and the sound of "pop" was particularly clear in the silent night, her chest rose and fell rapidly, and her tone trembled slightly: "How can you say such a thing?"

Guo Yuqing was beaten to the side, and a red cloud soon appeared on her face, she maintained that posture and did not move, and only laughed sarcastically for a long time: "What?

"You...... You ......" The mother-in-law was so angry that her face turned white, and she trembled her lips for a long time and did not say a complete sentence, but she stumbled under her feet and almost fell, but I helped her in time.

Guo Yuqing slowly turned her face, she didn't even reach out to touch the cheek she had just been beaten, with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, she said word by word: "I've finished what I want to say, and there's nothing more to say!"

She paused, scanned the room with cold eyes, and suddenly said to her mother-in-law as if she thought of something: "Oh, by the way, didn't you ask me how sad Lu Qishan would be if he knew that I had reported him?

My mother-in-law, who had just been helped to sit down, was shocked, as if she suddenly realized something, and she was very frightened and grabbed my hand that was about to be withdrawn, and looked at me with wide eyes, and her lips trembled even more: "She...... Said ...... Is it true...... It's true...... Is it?"

My heart churned so much, seeing my mother-in-law's appearance, I was really panicked, so I had to change my tone and comfort: "Mom, it's okay, Dad did go to the hospital, but it's not a big problem, Xudong is there to accompany ......"

"He'd better keep the problem smaller, but don't just die!" Guo Yuqing had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, but his expression was very grim, "Otherwise, how much less fun should I have when Qisheng closes the door?"

It seems that she should not know what happened after my father-in-law entered the hospital, I relaxed slightly, gritted my teeth and said angrily at her: "Guo Yuqing, you are enough! Even if you have been hurt, you have already taken revenge, haven't you? It's already reached this point, can't you offset the hatred in your heart?"

I can't wait to slap my mother-in-law like that to see if I can wake her up from the abyss of hatred.

"Not enough, of course not enough! You are not me, you will never understand my pain! I have been ruined in the hands of Lu Qishan for the rest of my life, how can I let him go so easily?" Guo Yuqing looked at me with a smile, and his tone suddenly became gentle again: "You pity him? Then it is better for you to divorce Brother Xudong and let him marry me, I promise not to continue to retaliate, my father will definitely pull Qisheng for my sake, the company will not have to go out of business, and Brother Xudong will not have to be so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, how about it?"

"Don't worry, even if the company really goes bankrupt, my brother will definitely not marry you!" Before I could speak, a cold voice suddenly came from the stairs: "Now please get out of this house for me non-stop, you are not welcome here!"

I looked up at Lu Yanxi, who was standing at the corner of the stairs, and my heart tightened again. She was still wearing pajamas, she must have been woken up by the movement downstairs, but she didn't know how long she had been standing there and listening to it for a long time, her expression was as cold as ice, and she looked at Guo Yuqing extremely indifferently.

Guo Yuqing had a look of indifference, she smiled disapprerovingly at Lu Yanxi, and said in a mocking tone: "Are you willing to stay here when I think I am?"

After she said this, she glanced at my mother-in-law, who was holding my hand tightly, with a complicated expression, before turning away gracefully.

Lu Yanxi kept watching her figure disappear from behind the door, and then kept staring at the door that Guo Yuqing threw hard, until the sound of the car outside gradually became farther away, and she slowly shifted her gaze to me.

I remembered the last time I saw her in the hospital, she was so confused that I couldn't help but look at her and return to my mother-in-law who was holding my hand.

My mother-in-law kept looking at me with a sad gaze, as if she had a thousand words to say to me, and she didn't know where to start.

I know that she must have been suspicious in her heart, after all, I lied as soon as I came over just now, looking at my mother-in-law's current appearance, I tried to lie while carefully guarding against Lu Yanxi: "Mom, don't worry, Dad, he's really fine, I didn't tell you the truth just now mainly because Guo Yuqing was there, and I was worried that she would add fuel and vinegar to the well......"

"You don't have to lie to me......" The mother-in-law shuddered and said these five words, tears welled up at once, she let go of my hand, leaned back on the sofa with a dejected expression, and whispered like muttering: "If there is really nothing wrong, Xiaodong will call directly and say, how can it be so late and let you run over?"

I originally wanted to say that I wanted to come over on my own initiative, but when I opened my mouth, out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Lu Yanxi had already come down the stairs and was walking towards me, and suddenly stammered unconsciously: "Mom...... It's me...... I had to come here......"

Lu Yanxi stood still behind the sofa where her mother-in-law was sitting, and glanced at me expressionlessly, as if she did not look irrational in the hospital that time.

I secretly scolded that I was useless, closed my eyes, and simply didn't care about Lu Yan, and made up to my mother-in-law in one go: "You are not in good health, the doctor has repeatedly explained that you can no longer be emotional, I am afraid that you will be cranky when you answer the phone, so I insist on coming to tell you in person!"

My mother-in-law looked at me suspiciously, as if she could tell the truth from my face, I hesitated, and was about to say again, "I don't believe you, you can go to the hospital with me now", when the mobile phone in my bag suddenly rang.

I was startled by the sudden ringing of the bell, and my mother-in-law was obviously frightened, and when I was scrambling to take out my mobile phone, she straightened her back and looked at me nervously: "Is it a call from the hospital?" Is it your dad who has an accident again?"

I didn't have time to answer my mother-in-law, so I could only throw a "don't be impatient" look at her, looked at the name on the screen, and answered with some trepidation: "Hey?"

"Why has it been so long?" Lu Xudong's worried voice came from the other end of the phone: "Something's wrong?"

"No!" I took a deep breath, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and then I said quickly: "I happened to meet Guo Yuqing when I came, so I didn't tell my mother the truth, Guo Yuqing said before leaving that my father knew what she reported and went to the hospital, and now my mother thinks I'm lying to her, but it's clear that my father is really fine, why don't you tell your mother yourself?"

Lu Xudong was stunned for a moment, then understood what I meant, and responded in a low voice: "Okay!"

I handed my phone to my mother-in-law, and unconsciously glanced at Lu Yanxi, just in time to meet her thoughtful eyes, and I felt a little weak for a while.

Lu Xudong didn't know what to say to his mother-in-law, her mother-in-law's face was obviously a lot soothed, I calmed down slightly, thinking that as long as I could send her to the hospital safe and sound first, I would be Amitabha, and other things could only be taken one step at a time.

After answering the phone, my mother-in-law handed me the phone and said, "Let's go to the hospital." She stood up slowly, and suddenly turned around and said to Lu Yanxi, "What about Mother Wu?"

I heard Lu Xudong say that because Lu Yanxi always has insomnia, she has been seeing a doctor to take sleeping pills, and after the last incident, the medicine was controlled by her mother-in-law, and she only took it out every night to stare at her.

"I slept very deeply, but there was too much movement downstairs, and Mother Wu and I were woken up, and after listening to the staircase for a while, I asked her to go back to the room. Lu Yanxi still looked indifferent, if it weren't for her words, which just implied that the family ugliness is always not easy to publicize, I would have wondered if she had committed suicide once and then had no feelings.

The mother-in-law sighed, opened her mouth, and finally just said dejectedly: "You go back to sleep, I'll just go to the hospital with Cersei to see your father." ”

"I'll send you there, it's not good to take a taxi at this point, and she can't drive. You wait for me, I'll go change my clothes. Lu Yanxi turned around and walked towards the stairs with a blank face.

The mother-in-law looked at her back, let out a long sigh again, and said as if explaining to me and complaining to me: "Since she was discharged from the hospital, she has been like this, half-dead, as if half of her whole person is dead." ”

I bit my lip, I really didn't know what to say.

Lu Yanxi quickly changed her clothes and came down, and Wu's mother also followed downstairs.

Waiting for Lu Yanxi to drive out of the garage, her mother-in-law told Wu's mother to buy a chicken after dawn and come back to stew, and then send it to the hospital.

She said to Wu's mother with a faint expression: "He has been in it for so many days, he must not eat and sleep well, and he must make up for him!" It seems that he has not been affected by the "truth" that Guo Yuqing said at all.

I really couldn't tell what I was feeling in my heart, and after I got in the car, I kept silent trying to lower my presence.

There was no one talking in the car, the atmosphere was depressing, my mother-in-law sat in the co-pilot, I don't know how many sighs along the way, and I sat behind her, looking out of the window with a heavy heart.

Several times when I waited for the traffic light, I found that Lu Yanxi had been looking at me through the rearview mirror, and my heart was "suddenly" jumping, and I always felt as if she had seen through something.

Finally got to the hospital, Lu Yanxi watched us get out of the car, and didn't want to stop by to see her father's appearance, and said to her mother-in-law with a cold expression: "Then I'll go back first!"

The mother-in-law looked at her again and again, probably wanting to say that since she had arrived, it was better to go in and take a look, but in the end she just swallowed her saliva, nodded, and said, "Be careful on the way back!"

Lu Yanxi closed the window without saying a word, and then the car flew away like an arrow from the string, and I felt very uneasy as I watched her taillights disappear into the dark night.

I called Lu Xudong and told him that we had arrived, then took a deep breath and led my mother-in-law to the hospital.

My mother-in-law kept telling me not to tell Lu Xudong what Guo Yuqing said, saying that she was afraid that their father-son relationship, which was already a bit deadlocked, would become more tense.

I thought about the truth for a while, and she didn't know if she could bear it, so she just nodded her head randomly.

The mother-in-law sighed and sighed in a low tone: "Actually, when I married your father, I knew that he didn't love me, but at that time, where did we pay attention to what vigorous love was, we all lived a long life." After more than 30 years together, he is really good to me...... No matter what fools he has made and who he has in his heart, he is at least still my husband!

Mother-in-law's words made my heart sour, and my eyes turned red instantly, but fortunately, I walked side by side with my mother-in-law, and she only cared about emotion, and did not turn her head to look at me, and naturally did not find my abnormality.

After walking forward for a short while, Lu Xudong's upright figure appeared in my sight, and I was shocked, and I seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The mother-in-law also saw Lu Xudong, and the steps under her feet immediately became faster and more urgent, and before anyone approached, she was already anxious to ask: "How is it? Is your father okay?"

Lu Xudong looked solemn, walked over and patted me on the shoulder, and then said softly to my mother-in-law: "Don't worry, I'll take you over to see him now...... But Mom, you have to promise me first, no matter what the situation is, you can't panic, you have high blood pressure, if you don't pay attention......"

"I know I know, I can't also fall down and make trouble for you at this time!" The mother-in-law's eyebrows tightened again, and she stared at Lu Xudong with an uneasy expression: "Is your father's condition not very good?" In fact, I know in my heart, you didn't notify me directly by phone, it must be that your father's condition is not optimistic, but it's okay, at least he can apply for medical parole when he is sick, and it is better than being locked up in a detention center!"

Listening to my mother-in-law's optimistic thoughts of bitterness, my chest was clogged with panic, but I didn't even dare to sigh.

Lu Xudong didn't speak, but raised the corners of his mouth very far-fetchedly, and said softly: "Then let's go!" and then took his mother-in-law's shoulders and walked in the direction he had just come.

When Lu Xudong turned around, his heavy gaze paused on me slightly, with a little reassurance.

I slowly followed them inside, silently walking all the way to the outside of the room where my father-in-law's body had been kept.

The previous people were almost gone, and only one of them, like a civilian or police officer who had stayed on duty, was sitting in a chair in the hallway and was drowsy.

The mother-in-law was obviously a little uneasy, she looked at the operating room next to her, and asked hesitantly, "Why did you come here? Your dad went to have surgery?"

Lu Xudong glanced at her line of sight, then retracted his gaze to look at her, pointed to the small room next to him, and whispered, "The operation is over, in here." ”

"Oh!" the mother-in-law relaxed a little, and was about to push the door when she walked away, but Lu Xudong stopped her outstretched hand and glanced at me, before saying to her, "Mom, you must be mentally prepared first......

I instantly understood what Lu Xudong meant, and while my mother-in-law's attention was on Lu Xudong and the father-in-law in the room, I turned around and slipped towards the nurse's station.

Anyway, you have to be just in case, my mother-in-law has high blood pressure, and she has been stimulated enough at night, even if she has made more psychological preparations, but her father-in-law has no such a big thing, it is difficult to guarantee that her blood pressure will not be high again, and it is always right to find a doctor or nurse to come over and prepare first. This is also the reason why I did not tell the truth at home, knowing the truth in the hospital, and having a case is good for timely treatment, it is inevitable that there will be delays at home.

I found a nurse on duty from the nurses' station, and as soon as she heard that a patient with high blood pressure had fainted, she immediately called the doctor on duty for me on the pager.
