Chapter 368: Car Accident
Gu Mochen's mind was in a mess, no matter how tricky the company was, he could calmly think of countermeasures, and then deal with it properly, in the face of his wife and daughter leaving him, his whole person was like losing his strength, and he didn't even have the motivation to take a step.
He knew that even if he grabbed Tan Man's hand, he couldn't stop her pace, and she wouldn't come back with him. Before leaving, her eyes were so resolute, I am afraid that I will never forgive him in this life.
What now?
He was helpless, and seemed to be unable to do anything but remorse and self-blame.
Gu Wang saw him standing still, turned his head and instructed Gu Yongrui: "You go out with him to have a look, it's dark, it's still raining heavily, what if something happens?" ”
"No need, I'll go." Gu Mochen came back to his senses and walked out quickly, picked up a big black umbrella in the entrance, and opened it above his head.
The rain was very heavy, crackling on the surface of the umbrella, converging into a column of rain and falling from the side of the umbrella.
Gu Deng's dim light was extremely faint compared to usual, and his eyes were dim and blurry, and he commanded the driver to drive while making Tan Man's call.
When he came out, he asked the security guard at the door, Tan Man didn't drive, and Gu Mian chased her out shortly after she left.
Tan Man's phone was connected, but no one answered, and Gu Mochen called several times in a row and it was still the same. He thought about it for a while, found Tan Zhen's number and called it.
If Tan Man doesn't go to the hotel, then he can only go to Tan Zhen, but he doesn't know if Gu Mian is with her.
Tan Zhen was home alone, didn't call his aunt to come over to cook, he made a bowl of udon noodles with tomato sauce, and after eating, he sat in the home theater to find an old movie to watch, and he didn't know what happened to the Gu family.
The phone rang three times and she answered.
The rain was noisy over there, obviously outside, Tan Zhen picked up the remote control and turned down the sound of the movie a little: "Brother-in-law, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"Are the vines there?" Gu Mochen was anxious.
No matter where Tan Man goes, at least let him know that she is safe, otherwise he will not feel at ease.
Maybe there were too many bad things happening today, or maybe the rain was too heavy tonight, which disturbed him, and he was panicked, and he always had a bad premonition.
Tan Man didn't know why: "My sister? Why is she here with me? Shouldn't she be at home at this time? ”
The relationship between these two is so good, usually they are together at work or in private, can he still find her?
Gu Mochen frowned, Tan Man didn't go to her, or was she looking for her Gu Shang?
He looked out at the wide, wet avenue, sparsely trafficked by, the headlights pulled out a beam of light, and the raindrops fell rapidly, showing tiny points of light under the refraction of the lights.
Gu Mochen was a little at a loss, was silent for a moment, and whispered, "If she goes to find you, please be sure to tell me." ”
After he finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone, but Tan Zhen sensitively noticed that his tone was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "You guys...... Quarreled? ”
"It's not clear on the phone, I'll explain it to you later." Gu Mochen was in a hurry to find someone, and he was in no mood or time to explain too much to her.
Tan Zhen knew that he had guessed correctly, there was indeed a problem between them, judging from his attitude, the matter did not seem to be as serious as usual.
She hung up the phone and immediately called Tan Man, and the situation she encountered was the same as Gu Mochen, there was a beeping sound on the phone, and no one answered.
Tan Zhen frowned, Tan Man didn't even answer her phone, what happened?
Over there, Gu Mian didn't see her mother after chasing her out, she walked too fast, she disappeared in the blink of an eye, and she didn't know where she went.
The rain washed down her face, mixed with tears, and her eyes were so sour that she couldn't open them.
What happened that night was beyond her imagination, Dad did something sorry for Mom, although it was not intentional, but the damage had already been done. The woman was pregnant and broke into the house, and the grandfather actually wanted to keep her and the child in her womb, and the mother was going to divorce the father, and now she ran away from home......
One by one, she couldn't bear it, and it felt like the whole world had collapsed.
She still remembers that Su Xiaomi often said in her ear that she was so envious of her family atmosphere, her parents were loving and harmonious, and they loved her daughter very much, which was so happy.
From now on, this warmth is gone.
At this moment, she finally realized Su Xiaomi's feelings of pain and powerlessness when she learned that her parents were divorced. Every time she thought about it, her heart throbbed with panting.
Gu Mian couldn't walk anymore, squatted on the ground and hugged her knees and cried loudly, the rain soaked her thin clothes, and the coldness swept through her body.
No, she can't cry here, she still has to find her mother.
Mom must be sad right now and needs her company.
She stood up on her knees, raised her hand to wipe the rain and tears from her face, and walked forward, finally seeing a familiar figure after turning a street.
Tan Man crossed the road and was about to take a taxi on the opposite side, when he walked halfway to the mobile phone in his pocket and accidentally fell to the ground.
Her mobile phone had already been turned to silent, and at the moment she didn't know if she touched the lock screen button or what, the screen suddenly lit up, and she picked it up and saw that it was a call from Tan Zhen.
Why is she calling now, does she know something?
Tan Man dragged his tired pace, hesitating whether to pick it up or not. There seemed to be someone shouting behind her, as if it was Gu Mian's voice, and before she could turn around, a strong light shone from the side.
Her whole body was shrouded in a white flickering light, and when she turned her head to look, a truck was speeding towards her, and she hurriedly took a step back to avoid it, but it was still a step too late, and with the sound of violent impact, the whole world was silent.
"Mom!"
This time she heard it clearly, it was Gu Mian's voice, and she came out to look for her.
In fact, along the way, she was thinking about who Gu Mian would choose to live with if she divorced Gu Mochen.
She knew that she loved her father and her mother very much, how could she be, and she didn't want her to choose between them......
Tan Man closed her eyes, and a second before she fell into a coma, she actually felt that it would be good if she died like this, at least she didn't have to embarrass her daughter, but she just had to make her sad.
There was chaos all around, with the shouts of the crowd, the honking of cars, and the sound of heavy rain crashing on the ground.
Bright red blood spread from the woman's body, diluted by the rain, and the mobile phone screen that fell next to it was still lit, and the caller ID this time was Gu Mochen.
Gu Mian stood on the other side of the road, watching her mother cross the road and stand on the floor tiles in the green belt in the middle. She paused, seemed to look down at her phone, and then continued on her way, not even noticing the red light ahead, and the blue truck crashed into her like that.
Her eyes widened and she cried out in a heart-rending voice, but there was no response from the person lying on the ground.
The cars around stopped all around, Gu Mian rushed over and fell beside Tan Man, his hands hanging in the air and not daring to touch her, the blood kept flowing, staining the corners of her clothes red.
Her brain was buzzing, she bit her lip to force herself to calm down, her fingers trembling as she pulled her phone out of her pocket to call the emergency services.
The rain fell on the screen in a blur, coupled with the fact that her hands were shaking badly, Gu Mian pressed the wrong number a few times, and by the time she finished describing her location without crying, the sound of the ambulance was already ringing in her ears.
It turned out that the driver who caused the accident immediately called the emergency number.
Gu Mian accompanied him, looking at his mother on the stretcher bed, covering his mouth with his hands to prevent himself from making a sound, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down.
The ambulance quickly arrived at the hospital, and the medical staff waiting there immediately stepped forward and pushed the stretcher bed directly into the operating room.
A moment later, a doctor came out of it with a consent form for surgery in his hand: "May I ask who is the family member of the injured patient?" The patient is currently in very serious condition and needs to undergo surgery immediately, so please sign it. ”
Gu Mian's body trembled, almost unsteady on his feet, but he also knew that he couldn't delay for a second now: "I'll sign, I'm her daughter." ”
She took the consent form for surgery, restrained her fear and panic, and wrote her name on it. When the last stroke fell, she asked, "Doctor, is my mother's life in danger?" ”
The doctor did not answer her question, and seeing her young age, he dropped a sentence: "Please contact the rest of the family as soon as possible." Then, he turned and walked into the operating room.
The red light above the door frame lit up "bang", and the words "during surgery" came into Gu Mian's eyes.
With her back against the wall, she finally couldn't hold it anymore and slowly slid down and sat down on the ground.
The wet hair stuck to her face, her lips were bitten by her, and blood oozed out, Gu Mian's eyes stared at the closed operating room door, and she silently recited over and over again in her heart, "Mom will be fine."
She rested her elbows on her knees and pressed her chin against her arms, comforting her mother who loved her so much that she was willing to leave her, but tears still couldn't help but slide down the corners of her eyes.
The phone rang in her pocket, she paused, and took it out slowly, it was a call from her aunt.
She connected, and before she could speak, she couldn't bear it, crying and saying, "Auntie, mom, she's ...... She was in a car accident and was having surgery, I don't know...... What to do......"
She sobbed, her words staccafied.
Tan Zhen was the first to receive the news and rushed to the hospital, and saw Gu Mian sitting alone on the ground outside the operating room, holding his knees with his hands and burying his head in the crook of his arm.
She was soaking wet, her clothes were stained with blood, and she was in an indescribable mess.
Tan Zhen walked over quickly, squatted down and hugged her into his arms, and whispered, "Mianmian, don't be afraid, my aunt is here." Trust me, your mom will be fine. ”
Gu Mian hugged her with both hands, buried her in her arms and cried silently, for a while, his voice trembled: "Really, really? ”
"Auntie won't lie to you." Tan Zhen cupped her face, raised her sleeve and slowly wiped the tears on her face, "Let's sit on the chair and wait for her together, okay?" ”
With someone by his side, Gu Mian's mood gradually stabilized. Tan Zhen helped her up, sat down on the plastic chair next to her, took off her coat and wrapped her around her shoulders.
She looked at the operating room with the red light on, and her heart also twitched, but she couldn't show the slightest panic at this time. She could see that Gu Mian's emotions had collapsed, and if she showed sadness again, she really couldn't bear it.
