Mu Ning knew it was because He Xiangyang was in Longcheng.
She didn't expect tonight's confession. Gu Zhiyin must have seen the whole thing, that's why she was so angry.
Mu Ning compromised, "I'm tired. That's it for today. We'll change places tomorrow."
Seeing that she was chasing people away, Gu Zhiyin rubbed her head and stood up on the bed, "Have a good rest, I'm leaving."
"Um."
Seeing his staggering steps, Mu Ning frowned, "What's wrong with your legs? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
The lights at the concert were dim before and she was walking in a hurry, so she didn't see clearly, but now she can see clearly.
His right leg was completely useless, and his entire body's weight rested on his left leg.
Originally there was nothing wrong with his normal walking, but now he feels even more lame than before.
"It's okay, I just squatted for a long time."
His eyes were light and his body paused slightly, "Don't kick the quilt off when you sleep at night, and remember to lock the door."
Gu Zhiyin didn't look back, tried to walk steadily, and left quickly.
After the door closed, Mu Ning relaxed and fell back on the bed, looking at the ceiling of the hotel and touching his flat belly.
In her heart, she had some resentment towards Gu Zhiyin, but mostly she blamed herself.
If she had found out she was pregnant earlier, if she had returned to the city early in the morning, she would not have gotten involved in the disputes at the old house.
Isn't it...everything is different?
Song Heng was waiting outside Mu Ning's room. After Gu Zhiyin came out, Song Heng quickly went up to help him.
Gu Zhiyin's face was pale and she was supported by Song Heng, "Ask someone to watch her. If He Xiangyang is restless, you're welcome!"
"Yes." Song Heng paused, "Master Gu, are you still staying here tonight?"
He looked down at his legs, his eyes dim, "Go back to the capital."
…
Mu Ning traveled to other cities for two more days and received a call from Lu Xinting. Professor Tong, who taught their university's professional course, passed away!
Mu Ning immediately took the car back to the capital. When she arrived at 2:30 in the afternoon, she went home and put away her luggage and hurriedly packed it up. Lu Xinting came to pick her up, and they went to the funeral together.
At the memorial service, the school leaders, teachers, and students from several classes he taught came.
When Mu Ning saw the black and white photo on the mourning hall, he still couldn't believe it!
Professor Tong was only in his forties and had a strong and strong body. How could he die of illness?
In my memory, he always came to the classroom dressed in formal attire. He was polite and polite, and was nicknamed the handsome boy in the professor world by his classmates!
Mu Ning and Lu Xinting were relatively independent in the class and received a lot of care from Professor Tong, so the teacher-student relationship was very deep.
Professor Tong’s wife Feng Shan stood aside with a big belly.
"Teacher's wife."
Mu Ning felt heavy, "Professor Tong... why is he so sudden?"
When she went to the school to report in March, Professor Tong also gave them a career guidance class and said she would take graduation photos with them!
He didn't look sick at all at that time.
How could it be so fast!
In just a few months, life is gone!
"Terminal brain cancer."
Feng Shan looked haggard, "He was diagnosed last year, but he never told me. It wasn't until he passed away yesterday that I dug out his case records..."
Feng Shan was already choking, "I was the last one to know."
"It's my fault. He got such a serious illness. I didn't notice anything strange. In October last year, he said that students were busy with their studies and had to live in the school staff dormitory. At that time, I believed it. I didn't expect that he was afraid of being raped by me. Found out, hid and endured the pain alone.”
Feng Shan cried bitterly, "Liars are all liars..."
Mu Ning quickly comforted, "Master, don't be too sad. Professor Tong did this because he didn't want to make you sad. After all, you are still pregnant. He is thinking about you..."
"This is not thinking about me!"
Feng Shan suddenly interrupted Mu Ning's words loudly.
"I am his wife. When he found out, he should have told me! I would accompany him to a big hospital for treatment. If he couldn't be cured, he would go abroad. We would face it together. No matter whether the final result is good or bad, at least I can take good care of him. Spend the last time with him!"
"Rather than suddenly one day, when I was still decorating the dining room on our wedding anniversary, I received a call from the school informing me to collect his body!"
"How could he leave without saying goodbye, how could he be so selfish..."
Feng Shan suddenly felt a pain in her stomach because of her excitement.
Mu Ning hurriedly supported him and said, "Master, please relax, you still have a baby in your belly."
Feng Shan touched her belly and burst into tears.
As everyone knows, Professor Tong and Feng Shan have never had a child. They had one through in vitro fertilization at the end of last year.
Professor Tong had a son in his old age, which was originally a very happy thing. However, he did not expect that the diagnosis of mid-term and late-stage brain cancer gave him a bolt from the blue.
Misfortune befell him, and for the sake of his wife and children, he chose to conceal his illness.
The lawyer came at this time, "Mrs. Tong, Professor Tong found me last year. He made a will. I will read it out later. Please forgive me and accept this change."
Professor Tong knew that his illness could not be cured, so he had already made plans for Feng Shan and his children. Half of his assets were transferred to Feng Shan and half to his children.
Feng Shan, who originally hated her husband for hiding his illness, burst into tears.
…
Mu Ning came out of the memorial service and let out the depressed air in his chest.
Lu Xinting opened the car door, "Why do you feel so sad?"
Mu Ning turned around, "Aren't you sad that Professor Tong passed away?"
Lu Xinting: "It's very sad, but I feel that your sadness is different from mine."
Mu Ning looked at the fiery red setting sun on the horizon, "Nothing is different."
Lu Xinting looked at her face, "Did you think of Gu Zhiyin?"
Mu Ning was startled.
Lu Xinting couldn't help but said: "Ning Ning, the child you lost... I'm sorry."
"I know, I don't blame you."
"Don't blame Gu Zhiyin. In fact, he feels very uncomfortable. That's his child too."
Mu Ning was silent, which is why she felt so depressed at Professor Tong's memorial service.
Because she understands Feng Shan's mood.
Gu Zhiyin hid everything from her, and she was the last person to be told.
The sudden bad news made her unable to accept it for a while.
Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Xinting asked while driving, "Do you know how much he loves you?"
Mu Ning paused and said "hmm".
Lu Xinting said slowly, "As much as he loves you, he loves that child."
Mu Ning paused slightly and lowered his eyes, "He shouldn't hide it from me."
"Professor Tong also hid Feng Shan, but do you think Professor Tong was wrong to do so?"
Mu Ning was silent again.
From an outsider's perspective, it really cannot be said that the professor was wrong in doing so.
His thoughts should be understood.
"Gu Zhiyin, like Professor Tong, wanted to protect the people he loved from being hurt, so he chose to hide it. Rather than being in pain if he found out, it would be better not to let you know in the first place."
"Even if you will be discovered one day, it is better to accept it than letting you know the moment it happens. After all, time will dilute a lot of things."
Mu Ning was thoughtful.
At this time, her cell phone rang.
"Hello, is this Miss Mu?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm from a wedding company. The wedding planning case has been released. We can't contact Mr. Gu, so we can only contact you..."
…
Mu Ning hung up the phone and asked Lu Xinting to take her to the wedding company.
She got the exclusive custom-made wedding planning proposal. From the wedding photos, wedding banquet to honeymoon trip, everything about the wedding arrangements was written in detail and clearly.
Mu Ning has seen it. The renderings are beautiful and the scene is unimaginably grand.
Didn’t you say that the wedding will not be held for the time being?
He has even planned a honeymoon trip?
"Mr. Gu is very attentive. He has reviewed this plan many times and he is not satisfied with many details."
"We have worked overtime these past few days and revised it again and again overnight. This is the latest version. I wanted to know if he was satisfied with it, but I called him all day long and couldn't get in touch."
The people from the wedding company hoped that Mu Ning would contact him as soon as possible.
Mu Ning didn't get through when he called Gu Zhiyin.
She called Song Heng.
Song Heng's voice was tired, "Miss Mu, Mr. Gu has been in bad condition these days. He didn't come to the company today. If you come back, go and see him."
Mu Ning's breath was suffocated, "What happened to him?"
"His legs have been so painful these days that he can't walk. Ever since he came back from Longcheng, he has been in a trance. He fainted in the conference room yesterday."
