He didn't know why his uncle and mother were against him getting in contact with Gu Mengmeng. What had happened between them and Gu Mengmeng's mother?
"Little Aunt? My uncle, he? "
"He went back."
Lin Ange replied indifferently and put the bag on the table.
Thinking about the wontons and snacks Lu Yiyao sent to her, she raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Are you hungry? There's something to eat here, fill up your stomach first."
When Lin Ange asked, Gong Nanling remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner, so he was really a bit hungry now.
He stood up and walked over. He took a box of yogurt and a loaf of bread.
"Eat slower, no one is going to fight over it with you?"
When Lin Ange saw him wolfing down his food, she scolded him in a hoarse voice.
"Mhmm …"
Gong Nanling bit the straw and nodded.
Lin Ange walked to the side of Gu Mengmeng and sat down. She looked at the bottle and sighed.
"Little Uncle is so considerate to actually give you so much food." "The thousand year old iron tree blossomed and became incredible. It's simply a 'berserker devil' …"
After Gong Nanling finished the food in his hand, he felt that he had not eaten his fill. He took another box of chocolates out of the bag, peeled off the foil, and put one in his mouth.
"Gong Nanling …"
Lin Ange gritted her teeth as she called out to him. He was still in the mood to joke around at a time like this.
"…"
Gong Nanling instantly shut up. His eyebrows twitched as he slowly chewed.
What he said was the truth. He had never seen Lu Yiyao being considerate to Lin Ange before. The reason he said this was to ease his repressed emotions and to prevent her from feeling too sad.
After all, one had already fallen. He didn't want her to fall, too.
"Mommy …" "Mom …"
Gu Mengmeng, who was injected with an IV drop, suddenly fainted as she cried out sorrowfully.
Gong Nanling quickly threw down the snacks in his hand and ran in front of her.
Lin Ange held Gu Mengmeng's hand and called out uneasily.
"Mengmeng …" "Mengmeng …"
"Gu Mengmeng …"
Gong Nanling also called out.
Gu Mengmeng's red and swollen eyelids twitched, her long eyelashes trembled, and the tears in the corner of her eyes remained clear.
"Mengmeng …"
Lin Ange's watery eyes were filled with concern as she uneasily called out to him again.
Gu Mengmeng's eyelids were as sticky as glue. They quivered twice, but she didn't open them.
She was still in grief and didn't want to wake up.
At this moment, Gu Nianshi, who had gone to take care of the matters behind Gu Yalan, walked into the ward. Gong Nanling stood up when he saw him.
"How is it?"
"He hasn't woken up yet."
Gong Nanling sighed and said worriedly as he put his hands in his pockets.
"He still hasn't woken up?"
Gu Nianshi raised his wrist to look at the time, while his handsome face revealed a deep worry.
Logically speaking, Gu Mengmeng should have woken up by now?
It looked like Gu Yalan's death had dealt her too much of a blow.
He slightly slowed down the speed of the drip.
"Miss Lin? How about you go and rest while I stay here with her? "
Gu Nianshi said with concern as he saw the tiredness on Lin Ange's face.
"I'm fine."
The corner of Lin Ange's mouth slightly pursed. Her faint smile revealed a hint of bitterness. He turned around and looked at Gong Nanling, who was standing beside Gu Nianshi.
"Gong Nanling, how about, you go back?"
"I don't need it... "Anyway, there's nothing much to do when I return …"
Gong Nanling's rebellious eyebrows twitched as he shrugged his shoulders.
Since he had already said so, Lin Ange didn't force him away. After all, he and Gu Mengmeng had grown up together.
Gu Nianshi saw that none of them wanted to rest, so he didn't say anything.
He walked to the window and looked out into the silent night.
The street lamp emitted an orange halo, and the tree shadows were mottled, giving it a sorrowful appearance.
The window opened a little, and the night wind blew in.
The air was filled with lingering grief.
At the bottom of his eyes, there was a hint of scarlet. His handsome face paled by two points.
He tried his best to control his emotions and endure the sadness in his heart.
None of them spoke.
The ward instantly quieted down.
The sound of dripping could be heard.
A long time later.
A cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room.
It was Gu Nianshi's phone.
When he looked at the number on it, the light in his clear eyes unconsciously tightened and the veins on his forehead lightly throbbed.
"Dad …"
"Your grandfather wants you to go home immediately."
Just as he opened his mouth, Gu Jing Yun's cold voice was heard.
"Now?" Gu Nianshi confirmed.
"What do you think?" Gu Jing Yun coldly asked.
"I can't come back now."
This was the first time the warm, jade-like Gu Nianshi refused in such a serious manner.
"If you can't, then I'll send someone to bring you back."
Gu Jing Yun became even angrier and his voice became louder.
"Dad, do we have to do this?"
Gu Nianshi's body stiffened. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly.
"Gu Nianshi, no matter what, it is grandpa's decision. Just do it."
"Dad, aunt is no longer here …"
"Gu Nianshi, 22 years ago, she disappeared."
When Gu Jing Yun saw that he couldn't move him, he said that without any emotion.
"Dad, you …"
Gu Nianshi's eyes instantly turned red, while the hand holding the phone started to tremble.
Although Lin Ange had no intention to eavesdrop, Gu Nianshi's words still echoed in her ears. From his words, she could feel his sadness and helplessness. She could also feel his determination and strength.
She really couldn't understand why the Gu family members were so ruthless.
It was one thing if he didn't come to see Gu Yalan for the last time. He ordered Gu Nianshi to go back immediately and not get involved with Gu Yalan's affairs.
"Gu Nianshi, must you anger your grandpa to death?"
Gu Jing Yun asked angrily.
"Dad, I just want to send Auntie on her final journey. Why are all of you …"
Gu Nianshi paused for a moment. His back revealed an incomparable sadness and loneliness.
Gong Nanling couldn't help but look at him.
Is it strange?]
What happened to Gu Mengmeng's mother? Why did it seem like he was deliberately avoiding her?
"Gu Nianshi, cut the crap, get the hell back here right now."
Gu Jing Yun's voice was assertive and domineering. He no longer gave Gu Nianshi any chance to speak, and he directly hung up the phone with an ice-cold expression.
"Dad …"
Du du du.
A ruthless voice came from the phone as it hung up.
Sigh.
Gu Nianshi let out a heavy sigh, then powerlessly took the phone away from his ear.
Gu Mengmeng, who didn't want to wake up, suddenly opened her eyes in pain, scaring both Lin Ange and Gong Nanling out of their wits.
"Mengmeng …"
"Gu Mengmeng, you're awake."
Gu Mengmeng glared at them with her red and swollen eyes, struggling to sit up. The needle slipped and a smear of bright red blood appeared on the back of his palm.
"Mengmeng, don't move."
Lin Ange hurriedly pressed down on her hand that was still holding the needle as she tried to persuade her.
