Chapter 215: Revealing the Truth
When she came to the ward, the nurse immediately inserted an electrocardiogram into Gu Mingcheng and monitored his physical condition at any time.
"To get in as soon as possible, the patient needs to be hospitalized for observation, and the time for the visit is very limited. After the nurse came out, she reminded Gu Lan.
"Sorry for the trouble, thank you. Gu Lan smiled reluctantly, took his mother and slowly walked to Gu Mingcheng's bed, sat on the chair, looked at the big dry hands hanging with drips, oxygen tubes inserted in the nostrils, white hair growing between the temples, and the cheeks were full of lines ruthlessly carved by the years.
"Dad, I've come to see you. As he spoke, he held his father's cold hand and choked up.
Shen Yichen pressed his hand on her shoulder, tried to comfort her, and said softly: "It's okay, I'll wake up later." ”
Then, there was a deathly silence in the ward, the three of them guarded Gu Mingcheng's side, sad and depressed, the sunlight outside the window was shining on the hospital bed, bright and dazzling, and there was no wind at all.
Zhou Xiuzhen sat on the other side in a daze, with a pair of red, swollen and cloudy eyes, looking at Gu Mingcheng in a daze, her expression changed, as if she had made some decision, she looked up at Gu Lan and said, "Lan Lan, go out for a while, I have something to tell you." ”
Gu Lan felt that the expression on her mother's face was strange, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she could only obediently follow her mother to the secluded and deep wisteria corridor behind the hospital.
Gu Lan was in a fog, only thinking that his mother was too frightened, and hurriedly reassured: "Okay, Mom, isn't Dad okay?" In the future, pay more attention, often come to the hospital for physical examination, there will be no major problems, retribution is not retribution, it is a civilized society now, this kind of superstition, you have to say less in the future." ”
Zhou Xiuzhen trembled her shoulders, tried to restrain herself, and tried not to speak in a violent tone: "Lan Lan, what I said is true!
She took a deep breath, her gaze so firm that it made Gu Lan's heart suddenly feel uneasy.
"Actually, you're not your father's biological child or me. ”
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Gu Lan only felt that the world was spinning, and he said after a long time: "Mom, are you kidding me? Why am I not born to you and my father, you see, the neighbors and aunts all think we look alike, I have grown up with you since I was a child, although I have forgotten how old I am, but I have always been by your side." ”
Gu Lan couldn't accept it for a while, and said various examples in her memory in a panic, trying to prove that Zhou Xiuzhen was playing with her.
But looking at his mother's unquestionable eyes, he couldn't help but take a few steps on his hind legs, holding his head with both hands, turning his back to his mother, and trying to keep himself calm. Yes, at all times, what she asks of herself is to stay calm and sober.
Zhou Xiuzhen looked at Gu Lan's evasive appearance, couldn't bear to turn her head, and continued: "The perpetrator of the car accident back then was your father!"
"Dad, how could it, how could Dad bump into me?" Gu Lan stubbornly refused to believe it, these things broke all her cognitions since she was a child, funny and ridiculous.
"Yes, I lied to your dad at the beginning that the family moved to avoid family planning, but in fact, no, it was because I was afraid that the car accident would be discovered by others. Zhou Xiuzhen brought up the old things again, and vaguely remembered the days when the two of them were frightened during that time, for fear of being discovered by others, "Back then, only you survived, we had a disturbed conscience, and secretly raised you by our side, in order not to be discovered, relatives and neighbors in the past, we have rarely moved around these years." ”
Gu Lan couldn't believe everything her mother said today, every piece of news was undoubtedly a bombshell, breaking up the father-daughter relationship she had established for many years, this kind of pain was painful.
"Now Mingcheng has also suffered retribution, it must be retribution. Zhou Xiuzhen muttered to herself, and when she said these words, the stone that had been depressed in her heart for many years fell to the ground, but it was much easier.
"Lan Lan, you will forgive your father, right?" Zhou Xiuzhen looked at her daughter with her back to her and asked in a trembling voice.
Gu Lan's lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound.
She wasn't the daughter of the Gu family, but a survivor of a car accident?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Xiuzhen hurriedly stepped forward and vigorously held Gu Lan's arm: "Lanlan! Although you were not born to me, I have always regarded you as my biological daughter! Your father is too! Can you forgive us? We just want to wait for you to get married and tell you the truth, but too many things happened later, and your father and I will ...... I don't know what to say. ”
Tears splashed on the back of Gu Lan's hand, his eyes blinked mechanically, and he looked at his crying mother in a daze, after a while, Gu Lan calmed down a lot, and said to Zhou Xiuzhen: "Mom, I know about this matter, you and Dad have nurtured me, I won't hate you." However, I need a process of acceptance for this matter, and I will slowly try to make myself accept. But now that Dad is in the hospital, let's not talk about this matter for now, and when Dad wakes up and recovers, we will sit down as a family and talk slowly, okay?"
"Okay! good!" Being able not to be hated by her daughter has already made Zhou Xiuzhen overjoyed, and hearing her words full of filial piety, she felt even more warm, "Lanlan, you are really a sensible daughter, at this time, you are still thinking about your father." ”
"Now Dad's life and death are unknown, and nothing is more important than this. Gu Lan said calmly.
"I've told you about it, so I don't have any worries, let's go to the ward. Zhou Xiuzhen's tone was much more relaxed.
Gu Lan smiled bitterly: "You don't have any worries, I have a lot of sorrows, when I think that it is not your own, I feel that life is worse than death." ”
Deliberately said it lightly, only in this way can the mother's guilt be reduced.
Zhou Xiuzhen sighed, "In my heart, you have always been my biological daughter, all my life." ”
Gu Lan's tears that he had just wiped fell again, turned his head, and said sullenly, "Don't say these useless, Mom, let's take a look at Dad." ”
The two of them came to the ward again, Gu Mingcheng hadn't woken up yet, Gu Lan walked up to Shen Yichen and asked, "How is Dad?"
Shen Yichen took her hand, helpless, "It's always been like this, I can't wake up." Seeing that Gu Lan's eyes were red and swollen, as if he had just cried, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Gu Lan sloppy, "It's nothing, it's just that it's quite distressing to look at my father like this." ”
Shen Yichen didn't ask much, but his eyes swept over Zhou Xiuzhen, who was also in an abnormal mood.
After guarding for a long time, just when everyone was very tired, Gu Mingcheng slowly opened his eyes, and his chapped lips struggled to shout for water.
"Lao Gu, Lao Gu, have you finally woken up?" Zhou Xiuzhen cried with joy.
"Water, water. When Gu Mingcheng saw his wife, he couldn't help but say.
When Zhou Xiuzhen heard this, she hurriedly said, "You want water, I'll pour it for you right away." ”
Saying that, he got half a cup of warm water from the teapot and slowly served him to drink it, Gu Mingcheng felt a little better, and struggled to sit up.
Zhou Xiuzhen and Shen Yichen supported him left and right, and shook the hospital bed.
"You really scared me this time!" Thinking of the scene when his wife suddenly fell, Zhou Xiuzhen still has palpitations.
Gu Mingcheng shook his head and smiled at her silently.
Zhou Xiuzhen's eyes pierced, she lowered her head, and said softly: "I have already told Lan Lan what happened fifteen years ago, now you can relax." ”
Gu Ming was sincerely shocked and looked at Gu Lan: "You...... You know it all......"
This secret, which has been hidden in his heart for more than ten years, has finally seen the light?
"Then ...... you" Gu Mingcheng wanted to ask her, did she hate him, did she resent him? But when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say it anymore, lest if she asked, she would lose this daughter.
Gu Lan wiped his tears and helped Gu Mingcheng change to a better position and half-lie down: "Dad, you will always be my father, you see, I heard that something happened to you, but I came in a hurry." ”
Gu Mingcheng was really a little unconvinced, and asked Shen Yichen on the side: "Yichen, is this what Lan Lan said?"
Shen Yichen said in a low voice: "Yes, she is very worried about you, father-in-law." ”
When Gu Mingcheng heard this father-in-law, he couldn't help choking and crying, "You still call me father-in-law, it's worth it even if I die." ”
Zhou Xiuzhen said angrily: "Don't say these frustrating words, you just came back from the ghost gate, and you still want to go to it." As he spoke, he wiped the tears from the corners of Gu Mingcheng's eyes with a handkerchief.
"Yes, don't say these frustrating words, look at me. Gu Mingcheng saw that his daughter knew the truth and still took care of him, and he was comforted.
"By the way, the doctor said that if Dad woke up, tell him that he would have to do a full body examination. Gu Lan remembered.
"I'll go, you stay here with your father-in-law. Shen Yichen patted her on the shoulder and said.
"Alright then, there you go. Gu Lan nodded.
There were only three people in the room, her and her parents, a family.
Gu Mingcheng looked at Gu Lan and said: "Ten years ago, I was confused for a while, I saw that you were young and alone, after hitting you, I was worried that I would go to jail, so I secretly took you to a small clinic, I heard that you were fine, and no one came to look for you, so I ......"
When she bumped into Lan Lan, she looked very embarrassed, and the injury was not light, Gu Mingcheng was afraid of taking responsibility, and even more afraid that she would be worthy of bankruptcy, so she didn't dare to take the initiative to go to the traffic police force.
"I should have turned myself in, Lan Lan, I'm sorry. ”
Gu Lan shook his head, took the initiative to hold his father's hand, which had age spots, and said, "The past is over, and we are still a family." ”
Gu Mingcheng was very comforted when he heard this, but after thinking about it, something was wrong, "Lanlan, don't you want to find your biological parents?"
Hearing her biological parents, Gu Lan was stunned, yes, she should still have biological parents, but she couldn't remember anything before the age of ten, so where did she find her biological parents?
"Let it be. Gu Lan didn't hold out much hope.
"Lanlan, Dad is sorry for you. Gu Mingcheng thought of Gu Lan's bumpy life experience and couldn't help but sigh.
"Dad, you're thinking too much. I just want you to get better now. Gu Lan gently patted the back of his hand twice, "As for the rest, let's talk about it later." ”
At least for now, the only thing she hopes for is that her father will be safe and 100 years old.
Shen Yichen came with the attending doctor, who stood by the bed and asked, "How do you feel now?"
Gu Mingcheng said: "I feel much better now, doctor, how am I doing now?" ”
The doctor examined him and said, "Everything is fine, there should be no problem."
"Thank you, doctor. Hearing that he didn't have anything, Gu Mingcheng was also relieved.
"You go ahead and rest, and remember to call me if anything. ”
"I see, thank you. Gu Lan replied.
Watching the doctor leave, Gu Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and recalled the past: "I once inquired about your biological parents, but unfortunately I didn't get much news. ”
"I don't even remember. "The past is like smoke, it's all in the past.
In the evening, when Gu Mingcheng was resting, Gu Lan and Shen Yichen stood in the corridor, each with a lot of worries.
Seeing Gu Lan bear all this alone, Shen Yichen just felt distressed: "Still thinking about that car accident?"
"You already knew. Gu Lan turned his head to look at Shen Yichen, in the ward, his reaction was not like someone who had just learned the truth.
"Su Mu once asked me for verification. Shen Yichen said calmly and wisely, and said in an unhurried tone.
Gu Lan was surprised, "What are you looking for?"
"He asked me, do you have a birthmark on your back? Shen Yichen continued briefly: "I said no. ”
"Why are you lying?" Gu Lan suddenly felt that he knew too little.
"Actually, I have been investigating the car accident that year, but it involved your life experience, at first, I just suspected, but I didn't expect that Su Mu was also investigating, he let me know that you were not born to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and your biological parents were someone else. Shen Yichen confessed everything he knew.
