Gu Zhiyin was the first to hit the person.
Gu Huaian treated his injuries at the hospital and said he would not be lenient and would have to go through legal procedures.
Finally, Mrs. Gu called him and he gave up.
When I came out of the police station, it was already half past five in the afternoon.
Song Heng drove them back.
Mu Ning muttered, "At half past five, the Civil Affairs Bureau is off work."
"If you can't go today, how about tomorrow?"
Gu Zhiyin closed his eyes, nestled in his seat, and said nothing.
Mu Ning knew he was feeling uncomfortable.
The setting sun filtered in from the window, and his face was white and transparent.
Mu Ning lowered his eyes, there was still blood on his hands.
She took a disinfectant towel from the secret room, dipped it in water, and wanted to wipe it with him.
As soon as his hand touched him, he shrank suddenly.
When I opened my eyes, they were covered with red bloodshot eyes. The setting sun came in, and they were all blood-red, as if they were about to eat people.
Mu Ning saw his frightened look and whispered: "There is blood on your hands, let me wipe it for you."
Gu Zhiyin curled up his fingers and continued to close his eyes, "No need."
"You can't stand it being a little dirty. Let me wipe it for you."
"I said no!"
Mu Ning was yelled at.
Song Heng coughed and Mu Ning glanced at the rearview mirror.
Song Heng looked in the rearview mirror and shook his head.
Gu Zhiyin was covered in ice and sharp thorns, curled up like a wounded beast, unable to be touched or approached.
It's so ridiculous that someone else is needed to even wipe your hands.
Anyway, he can't wipe it clean by himself. He is just a useless person. It doesn't matter what dignity he wants.
Gu Zhiyin raised the back of his hand and put it on his eyes. The evening wind blew on his face, and he felt no warmth at all.
Mu Ning looked at his miserable side face, swallowed his emotions, sat down in his seat, lowered his head, folded the towel, and then folded it...
When he returned to the villa, Gu Zhiyin didn't talk to her, nor did he wait for her, but had someone send him to the bedroom.
Mu Ning stood dumbly in the living room. After a long pause, he still felt uneasy and followed him.
She opened the bedroom door and saw him taking off his coat, "Shall I give you a bath?"
Gu Zhiyin paused in taking off his clothes, "I'll wash it myself."
"But you..."
"What's wrong with me? Do you think I'm useless? I can't even take a shower?"
"No, that's not what I meant..."
"Can you be quiet and leave me alone for a while."
Mu Ning choked and held the door, "Okay."
She closed the door gently.
Song Heng stood outside, wanting to say something to her.
"Miss Mu, please let Mr. Gu take it easy, he won't be able to bear it."
Song Heng said: "Gu Huaian went to the hospital to humiliate him last time."
"What?"
"Yes, Mr. Gu is a very restrained person. Gu Huai'an deliberately provoked him and even took photos of him losing his temper and posted them online."
"They really want Mr. Gu to have a mental breakdown. It would be better if he collapses and completely tramples Mr. Gu into the mud, so that he won't come back again."
"Normal people can't accept it, let alone him, Miss Mu. Sometimes he gets angry. You should be more tolerant of him. He doesn't want to hurt you. If he wasn't in so much pain that he couldn't suppress it, he wouldn't be like this. Miss Mu, You must understand him more, he is really working hard."
"He has endured much more than you think."
"He can't bear it anymore. Just let him digest it alone."
…
When Mu Ning went downstairs, the servant saw her and said, "Miss, is your foot injured? Do you want a doctor to come over and take a look at you?"
"It doesn't matter, go and get the medicinal wine for me."
The servant helped her sit on the sofa and saw that her ankle was as swollen as a carrot, "Oh my god, it's so serious!"
"Don't make a fuss, it's just a little swollen."
The servant couldn't help talking, "Did you have a fight with Mr. Gu?"
The atmosphere at home was not right. Mr. Gu would not do this to Miss Mu. He usually held her in his arms and pampered her to the core.
What's going on today?
Mu Ning shook his head, "He is in a bad mood."
She pointed to her ankle and specifically warned, "Don't tell him."
…
The bathroom floor was too slippery, and Gu Zhiyin couldn't see it and fell on the edge of the bathtub.
He sat on the ground expressionless for a while, then got himself into the wheelchair, groped to the edge of the bed, and climbed onto the bed.
Then he took out a bottle of medicine from the bottom drawer, poured a few pills at random, and stuffed them into his mouth.
He suddenly paused, counted, took three pills out of his palm, and swallowed the remaining three pills dry.
During dinner, the servant said, "Miss Mu, I knocked on the door of Mr. Gu's room, but there was no response. I can't go in without permission."
Mu Ning went up to see him.
It was pitch dark in the room. She turned on the light and found that he had taken off his clothes and curled up naked on the quilt.
Just fell asleep like this?
He had always been a light sleeper, and the slightest movement would wake him up. Mu Ning walked quietly to the bed, but saw no sign of him waking up.
There was also a medicine bottle on the quilt. Mu Ning picked it up and looked at it. It was a sleeping pill.
My heart skipped a beat.
He was very resistant to taking this medicine, saying that it would make him dizzy.
He would only eat it unless it hurt so much that he couldn't sleep at night.
Mu Ning was afraid that he would overeat, so she counted the number of pills in the bottle. She took a look and breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought he couldn't think about it.
He lay on his side on the bed, half of his face sunk into the soft quilt.
The eyebrows became tangled.
Is it a dream?
Why do I still sleep so restlessly even after taking medicine?
Mu Ning reached out to smooth his eyebrows, but suddenly found that there was blood on his chin.
Not only that, he was also dirty.
He didn't take a shower?
Just crawl into bed and take medicine to make yourself sleepy?
Normally, it would be impossible for him to go to bed without taking a shower. He hated bringing the smell from outside home, especially to the bed.
Mu Ning got up and went to the bathroom, only to find that the shelf in the bathroom had fallen over and bottles and cans rolled onto the floor. It was a disaster scene.
Without even thinking, you can probably guess what happened in the bathroom.
Mu Ning packed up his things, filled a basin of warm water, twisted a towel and wiped it with him.
After wiping him clean, putting on clothes and covering him with a quilt, she returned to her room.
…
Gu Zhiyin was awakened from the dream again.
He dreamed of the child.
He opened his mouth wide and called him daddy.
Crying and asking him why he didn't save him and why he let the bad guys kill him!
He also said that he wanted to go home and go home with his father...
Gu Zhiyin was covered in cold sweat and breathing heavily. His eyes were dark, and great fear enveloped him.
He asked Song Heng to take him to the cemetery.
Gu Zhiyin touched the stone tablet, which had the words "Gu Weiyuan" engraved on it.
I only hope that daddy will come to see you.
I'm sorry, I forgive my father for not protecting you and letting you die in your mother's belly before you were born.
Let you lie here in the cold ground and I can't take you home.
Gu Zhiyin closed his eyes.
Gu Huaian's words echoed in his mind——
"Ayin, we didn't want to do anything to Mu Ning. The person we have been targeting is you. We didn't expect Mu Ning to be pregnant, and the child in her belly became a victim."
"If Mu Ning knew that she was involved and the child was aborted because of your negligence, do you think she would forgive you?"
"A nanny died, a child died, and you still end up like this... This is the price you pay for being self-righteous and careless. Recognize the facts. You have lost this battle."
Gu Zhiyin touched the tombstone and laughed at himself, "Am I quite a coward?"
