Gu Huimin was half-sitting on the hospital bed, and when she came to check her body in this ward every month, she would stay for two days.

Her health is not very good, because she has had surgery before, although her condition is under control to a certain extent, but she still has to have regular check-ups every month, of course, this is also because Gu Yanshen is not very worried about her mother's body, so she specially told Gu Huimin's attending doctor that she will have regular check-ups every month, and she will live in this ward for a few days when she has to wait for the laboratory tests.

"Auntie, you can eat this."

Situ Yan put the freshly cut apples on the plate one by one, inserted a toothpick on the side, and then handed it to Gu Huimin, she originally had a round face, very cute, and when she smiled slightly, she couldn't take her eyes off it, at least Gu Huimin liked it.

"Our Xiaoyan is really good, your brother Yanshen will be here soon, I haven't seen him for a while, do you miss him?"

Gu Huimin did have a plaster cast on one leg, but it didn't affect the others, she took a piece of apple casually, and looked at the "prospective daughter-in-law" she liked with a smile.

Situ Yan was young and thin-skinned, but she was very honest in front of Gu Huimin, she nodded, "...... Yes, in fact, when Brother Yanshen just left, I was really not used to it, and I would not graduate in 2 years, and now I have been in the UK, and Brother Yanshen is in City C...... But fortunately, I'm going on vacation soon, and I told my dad this year that I'm going back to City C after the holiday! ”

"It's good to go back, look at your brother Yanshen, Xiaoyan, Auntie has always liked you, just wait for you to graduate when the time comes, call me Mom."

When Situ Yan heard this, her face suddenly turned red, the little girl's shyness was fully revealed, she was a little embarrassed, she reached out and grabbed Gu Huimin's palm, her soft little fingers gently rubbed in Gu Huimin's palm, and her voice was even softer, "...... Auntie, don't say that, you haven't written a word yet! And Brother Yanshen didn't say that he liked me and wanted to marry me......"

"Yes, why not?"

Gu Huimin frowned, and said with a serious face: "Even if there is none, this one, Auntie will help you add it by yourself, and ask you if you are willing." Little smoke, would you like to? ”

“…… Auntie, I'm ......."

Situ Yan looked girlish, lowered his eyes, and just wanted to say something, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed in from outside, and a rush of footsteps came, Gu Huimin seemed to have a heart, and hurriedly put the toothpick in his hand on the plate, and lay on the hospital bed again.

“…… Brother Hikoshen! ”

The first person Situ Yan saw coming in was Gu Yanshen, she jumped up excitedly, the flush on her face just now was even worse at this time, but it was rippling with another spring. Love - a little girl, the kind of feelings that can't be concealed for her brother who has admired her for more than ten years.

Situ Yan has always had a very complicated feeling for Gu Yanshen, she treats him as her brother, but such an excellent man is a woman, he is too easy to be tempted, and Gu Huimin always wants to match them in her ear, intentionally or unintentionally, the balance in her heart gradually shifted.

Gu Yanshen didn't pay much attention to Situ Yan's expression, his deep handsome face was full of worry, frowned, and walked directly to the edge of the bed, leaning over slightly, "Mom, how are you feeling?" How could you be so careless? ”

"It's fine."

When Gu Huimin saw her son, she was naturally overjoyed, the little injury on her body was not a big deal, but it was a little fractured, she struggled to sit up, grabbed Gu Yanshen and looked at it from head to toe, and shook her head again, "...... Look at you, you've lost weight, I haven't come to see my mother for half a month, my mother wants to kill you, no matter what, you have to stay for two more days this time, you know? ”

Gu Yanshen has always respected Gu Huimin, this is his only relative in this world, she was expelled from City C just to give birth to herself, and she lived in the UK, an unfamiliar place, for more than 20 years.

A woman who didn't even speak the most basic English, conceived in October, gave birth in such a foreign country, and the man who impregnated her never looked at her from beginning to end. Gu Yanshen can fully understand how tormented and lonely her mother has been over the years.

So he vowed to double his filial piety to her.

"Okay."

The deep male voice was very soft, "Mom, you have a good rest, I have stayed in England for the past two days." ”

"Brother Yanshen, can you celebrate your birthday with me?"

As soon as Situ Yan heard that Gu Yanshen had agreed to stay in the UK, his face smiled like a flower, he jumped over, and grabbed Gu Yanshen's wrist without any scruples, and shook it, "Great!" Brother Yanshen, I thought you wouldn't celebrate your birthday with me this year, and I was disappointed for a long time, but when my aunt told me, I didn't believe it, I didn't expect you to really come. ”

"Your brother Yanshen is not only here, he also brought you a gift." Gu Huimin raised her eyebrows and helped Gu Yanshen answer with a smile.

Situ Yan was even happier, "Really? Brother Hikoshen, what gift did you bring me? ”

Gu Yanshen had a headache, he knew very well in his heart Situ Yan's personality, whether he was enthusiastic about himself or not, it was relatively normal, but his own mother, he naturally couldn't not understand, in comparison, Gu Huimin's words and deeds were too purposeful.

"Yes, but I can't do it yet......"

He raised his wrist and looked at the time, and said, "Let someone send it to you when it's dawn, Xiaoyan, it's late, the driver is at the gate of the hospital, you go back to rest first, so that you can have the spirit to celebrate your birthday tomorrow, you know?" ”

"Good!"

Situ Yan agreed, "Anyway, Brother Yanshen, you are here, then I will leave with confidence, Auntie, you have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Situ Yan was leaving, but Gu Huimin immediately pushed Gu Yanshen again, and he had to let him send it.

Gu Yanshen couldn't refuse, and it was indeed too late, she was a girl, and there was no excuse not to send it. simply left the ward with her, but only sent her to the elevator, and called the driver on the way and asked the driver to come up and pick up Situ Yan.

As soon as Situ Yan left, Gu Yanshen turned back to the ward, and when he just walked to the door and was about to reach out to push the door of the ward, he happened to hear Gu Huimin's voice inside, she should be on the phone, the person over there didn't know what to say, her voice was a little tense.

“…… I don't know what you're talking about, after so many years, I never thought of taking back what belongs to you, and it wasn't my intention for Yan Shen to go back, so you didn't come to warn me about anything...... What did you say? I don't believe it! …… I know this matter in my own heart, I don't need you to say more, please don't contact me in the future......"

“…………”

Gu Yanshen pinched the five fingers of the doorknob and subconsciously tightened a little, his running around all night, and his long-term mental tension made his temples beat more frequently at this moment, and the stinging feeling made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

The man's thin lips were tightly pursed, extremely sharp, and there was no sound in it, but he had been standing at the door and did not enter, and after a while, he turned around and walked to the end of the corridor, standing at the floor-to-ceiling window, he lit a cigarette, pushed open the window with one hand, and put one hand in the pocket of his trousers, silently swallowing the clouds.

…………

"I'm sorry, sir, but you can't smoke here."

The blonde-haired and blue-eyed nurse came over, spoke fluent English, and told him that he couldn't smoke here, Gu Yanshen nodded politely, reached out and crushed the cigarette butt, threw it into the trash, he said "sorry", and then took a long step and walked towards the ward.

When she pushed the door in this time, Gu Huimin happened to be holding the water cup on the bedside table, Gu Yanshen saw this, strode over and handed her the water cup.

"Xiaoyan went back?" Gu Huimin took two sips of water, and her voice was gentle.

Gu Yanshen only said "um", glanced at Gu Huimin, and suddenly said, "Mom, your mobile phone, borrow me to make a call, I was so anxious when I came over, I even forgot my mobile phone in the apartment in City C." ”

Gu Huimin didn't take out her mobile phone, she just handed the cup in her hand to Gu Yanshen, and when he put it down, she spoke, "Are you in City C, have you always lived in your own apartment?" ”

"Yes."

"Why don't you live in Qiao's house? Your father didn't tell me about this, is your life in Qiao's family very unsatisfactory? ”

"Mom, don't think too much, I just feel free to live in an apartment, the people of the Qiao family will not have any impact on me, and I will not do anything deliberately because of anyone."

"Really?"

Gu Huimin's pupils tightened, the gentle smile on her original face was instantly retracted, and her tone was not as soft as just now, but with a bit of reprimand, "Yanshen, you have listened to me since you were a child, and I am especially relieved of you, because you will never lie to your mother, but now...... Did you deceive me about something? ”

Gu Yanshen actually had a vague point in his heart, and when he heard the phone call just now, he suspected that it was someone from City C who called, and his mother's tone, he concluded that it could not be Qiao Shiyun, so this is most likely Li Muhua.

He doesn't know if Li Muhua knows anything, but if she really knows something, it's not strange, she is not a simple woman, she has always regarded herself as a thorn in her eye, a thorn in her flesh, something happened to Zijin before, she beat Zijin with her hands, so when he was angry, he let people also move his hands and feet on her, Li Muhua is not so stupid, and after so many days, she should have found some clues......

Gu Yanshen didn't intend to hide Zijin in the slightest, he had an idea before, he wanted to talk to his mother about himself and Zijin, it was impossible for her to lose sight of her for the rest of her life, if you want her to cross the most difficult hurdle in the world, then you must first help her stand in front of her relatives openly.

For him Gu Yanshen, his relative is Gu Huimin.

"Mom, many times, things can't just look at one side, I do have some things I haven't told you because I feel that the time is not ripe enough, but that's not a deception."

Gu Yan deepened his voice, weighed it a little in his heart, and continued: "...... Now that you have opened your mouth, then I will continue to talk about this topic, I believe you should already know some things, including the things that Aunt Xiao said to you at the earliest, in fact, I never wanted to hide it from you, you are my most respected mother, such a thing, find an appropriate time, I will want to tell you. ”

Gu Huimin's face instantly became ugly, and her tone was a lot sharper, "...... Hikoshen, what do you mean by that? ”

"It's literal."

Gu Yan took a deep breath, frowned and looked at Gu Huimin, his thin lips opened lightly, and every word that escaped after that was serious, "Mom, I'm serious about that woman." ”

“…………”

Gu Huimin's face turned pale, and her eyes were full of disbelief, "That woman...... Shen Zijin, isn't it? ”

Gu Yanshen nodded.

“…………”

Gu Huimin held her breath, her hands on the futon were tightly clenched into fists, she knew her son, and it was difficult for him to change the person or thing that he had identified, about that Shen Zijin, she had already heard about it, but before, she really thought that it was just Yan Shen making trouble, he was not such a disproportionate person, so who was Shen Zijin? She is Qiao Jinglian's wife and Qiao Shiyun's daughter-in-law, and he ...... is Qiao Jinglian's eldest brother, even if he is a half-brother, it is also a big brother, how could he touch Qiao Jinglian's woman?

But what did he just say?

Gu Huimin shook her head, her expression was very stiff, and her tone was also cold, "I can't agree, you don't have to tell me about this woman!" ”

Gu Yanshen frowned, his index finger gently pinched his thumb, rubbing it unconsciously, and did not make a sound.

Gu Huimin continued: "Yan Shen, I can't agree! Leaving aside what you think, as far as I'm concerned, as a woman, I conclude that she would never be a good woman if she could wander between her husband and her husband's brother like this. It's okay if you explain this matter to me directly, I don't want to go around with you, our mother and son, have been dependent on each other for more than 20 years, you are the only thought that my mother has always insisted on in this world, I let you go back to C City, not to let you rob Qiao Jinglian's wife, be your own woman, do you understand? ”

“…… You have been very sensible and mature since you were a child, and you will never let me down half a point in doing things, my mother really believes in you, so even if your Aunt Xiao was angry with me before, I still didn't take it too seriously, I think such a low-level mistake, you will never be able to make it, don't let your mother down, and don't make me sad! ”

Gu Huimin's words are both advanced and retreating, soft and hard, and they are also very appropriate.

When such words reached Gu Yanshen's ears, he didn't even seem to have the strength to refute, but he had already expected that things would be like this, of course she would not agree, on the road from disagreement to consent, the only person who needed to work hard was him Gu Yanshen.

"Mom, I'm telling you now, it's not for you to accept it all at once, I know that you are a very principled woman, I know your thoughts, from your standpoint, it is normal for you to think like this. As you said, I have been sensible and mature since I was a child, and I am very measured in my work, so you still don't believe my vision? This woman is what I like, I want her very much, and I want to guard her and not let her be wronged, her marriage with Qiao Jinglian is in name only......"

"That's not going to work either!"

As soon as Gu Huimin heard Gu Yanshen speak to Shen Zijin so hard, she was even more angry and her brain hurt, and she interrupted him in a cold voice, "Don't say it, if you want to continue to talk to me about this woman, I don't want to hear it, you go back and rest." ”

“…… Mother. ”

"Yan Shen, you know that I am not in good health, you have always been very filial to me, so don't come to stimulate me now, I don't want to hear a word, that woman, I will never accept it."

Gu Yanshen, "............"

"You go back, I want to be alone now."

Gu Yan frowned deeply, watching Gu Huimin lie back on the bed stiffly, he naturally felt a little guilty in his heart, and wanted to go over to help her, but Gu Huimin coldly reached out and pushed him away, and when she lay down sideways, she whispered again: "...... Do you know why Mom got into a car accident? ”

“…………”

“…… Because it wasn't the first time that Li Muhua called me, I went to get a cake for Xiaoyan in the afternoon, and I happened to receive a strange international call before crossing the street, I thought it was your dad calling me, so I didn't want to pick it up, but it turned out to be Li Muhua, she told me that I really gave birth to a good son, and going back to City C is not only to rob other people's property, but also to rob other people's women...... I couldn't believe it, I thought it wasn't going to be something my son would do, so I had a few arguments with her......"

Gu Huimin's voice was a little choked, Gu Yanshen's throat and eyes were even more blocked, and he suddenly didn't know what else to say, but those gloomy eyes were full of incomparably gloomy light.

Li Muhua -- it seems that he gave her the police before. Sue, it's really too pediatric, she dared to contact her mother so unscrupulously, and he was really too kind to her.

“…… Do you know that for more than 20 years, every time I think of Li Muhua, a woman, I feel heartache and unwillingness, but today, she called me with such a swagger and asked why my son did such a thing, disgraced the Qiao family, and made his son ...... Yan Shen, my mother is very heartbroken, do you know? ”

Gu Yanshen pinched the futon a little harder, and his deep voice was still calm, "Mom, this matter is my negligence, I won't let you suffer such grievances again, you have a good rest first, if there is anything, wait until you are well." ”

Gu Huimin stretched out her hand and pulled the quilt and closed her eyes, and when Gu Yanshen straightened up, she heard her say in a low voice, "...... Mom can regress for you, but this thing can't. Yan Shen, if you really feel sorry for your mother, you should break off with that woman as soon as possible. ”

…………

※※※※※

Zijin had never felt like this.

Restlessness, restlessness, anger, and sullenness.

She never knew how many hours had passed since time would become so tormenting for her.

She reached for her head and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall—it had been almost a day, hadn't it? The mobile phone was out of battery when she called, she didn't know how many calls she made to Gu Yanshen, but she couldn't contact his people, and she didn't know where he went, after Qiao Jinglian hung up her 2 calls, she never called him again.

Zijin has a stubbornness in her heart, in her heart, the people around her are all distinguished by "rank", Qiao Jinglian is naturally not as important as Gu Yanshen to her, so even if she really wants to ask for someone, she will ask Gu Yanshen, and she will definitely not ask Qiao Jinglian.

There was a sudden knock at the door, Zijin's thoughts were interrupted, the moment she heard it, she suddenly got up from the sofa, and walked quickly to the door, she held the doorknob and twisted it hard, the door still couldn't be opened, she was really angry, she reached out and hit the door panel-

"Open the door for me! Who is the person outside? Open the door to me, I'm going out! ”

"Young grandma, I'm here to talk to you, I've already delivered the food to the window for you, you can pick it up yourself later, if there is nothing else, I'll go down first."

It was the servant's voice, and Zijin pinched the doorknob harder, how many times has this been?

From the time Qiao Jinglian left Qiao's house, she found that she was soft. Banned, she didn't know who did it, but she thought in her heart that Qiao Jinglian did it, and then this maid ate three meals a day, and she didn't eat less, but every time it was like this, knock on the door to remind her, and then let her go to the window to get it.

Zijin thought it was funny, clenched her fists, and didn't care about hurting her hands, and smashed her fist on the door panel, which was a solid mahogany door panel, her fist was incomparable to a man's, the already soft little hand, such a fist went down, and the bone joints were already flushed with a layer of redness, but Zijin didn't feel any pain at all, her chest seemed to be pressed against a huge stone, and it hurt even more when she gasped, she didn't care if there were still people outside, and said loudly-

"Let me out, you have no qualifications to be soft. Forbid me, it's illegal for you to do this! What am I doing wrong? Why be soft. Ban me? I won't eat-you go back and tell Qiao Jinglian that I won't eat, from now on, if you insist on locking me up, then I won't eat-"

Something suddenly occurred to her, and she said, "...... I want to see Daddy, let me see Daddy, let him let me out! ”

“…………”

There was silence outside for about 5 seconds, and then Zijin heard the man say, "...... Young grandmother, the old man left Qiao's house yesterday afternoon, he had some physical problems, went to the hospital for examination, and stayed in the hospital at night. ”

――――――
