Gu Zhiyin took Mu Ning and Yanyan there, and saw the white-haired Mrs. Gu in the ward.
In fact, Mrs. Gu was on the verge of death two years ago, but the old lady had a tough life and managed to survive until today.
Perhaps it was because I couldn't let go, and I endured more than two years of pain in the hospital bed.
Mu Ning looked at Mrs. Gu, who was breathing weakly and looking haggard. No matter how much hatred and resentment she felt in her heart, they all dissipated at this moment.
She thought Gu Zhiyin was probably the same as her.
Madam Gu had lost consciousness, half-opening her turbid eyes, looking at the ceiling without focus.
Mu Ning was the first to shout, "Grandma."
Mrs. Gu's eyes moved slightly.
Gu Qingyun stood aside with red eyes and looked at Gu Zhiyin, "Ayin, call her, just call her."
Gu Zhiyin stood beside the bed, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Mu Ning held his hand and whispered, "Husband, please fulfill the old lady's last wish and let her go peacefully."
Gu Zhiyin remained silent.
Mu Ning picked up Yanyan and said, "Yanyan, call me grandma."
Yanyan called out obediently, "Grandma."
The old lady, who was almost out of breath, slowly turned her eyes and looked at the banquet in Mu Ning's arms in confusion.
"Mom, this is Ayin and Ningning's child." Gu Qingyun explained in her ear.
A glimmer of light flashed in Mrs. Gu's eyes, looking at the banquet as if she was pleased.
After a long time, he turned his attention to Gu Zhiyin's face.
However, when she saw Gu Zhiyin, her already dry eyes kept shedding tears.
"Ayin, I'm sorry..."
It seemed that only Gu Qingyun could hear the weak old voice.
Lu Qingyun turned around and tugged on Gu Zhiyin's sleeves, crying and begging him, "She is apologizing to you. Even if you don't forgive her, just call her."
"She is your grandma, Ayin. She has been waiting for you to call her grandma for a long time. Just let her go in peace."
Gu Zhiyin's face remained expressionless, looking at Mrs. Gu who was in tears.
Mrs. Gu opened and closed her mouth, and kept apologizing. In the end, the arc of her mouth gradually became smaller.
Until I ran out of breath.
Mrs. Gu did not close her eyes.
The only sound heard in the whole ward was Gu Qingyun's crying.
It is desolate to say that Mrs. Gu was surrounded by her descendants and her entire family. Everyone loved and respected her.
After the collapse of the Gu family, without the big tree of the Gu family, the relatives of the Gu family left and dispersed, and they all found their own way out.
Until the day the old lady died, no one came back to see her.
Lu Qingyun has been notified in place, and everyone has various reasons, saying that they are too busy to get away, or that they are out of town and can't make it at the moment...
In the end, only a few people came to attend the funeral.
Mu Ning only felt sad that Mrs. Gu had spent her whole life for the children and grandchildren of the Gu family, and finally ended up like this.
Mrs. Gu's funeral was organized by Gu Zhiyin herself, and the funeral was considered a success. But at the end of Mrs. Gu's burial, Gu Zhiyin didn't even call her grandma.
Mu Ning never advised him, because she had never experienced Gu Zhiyin's pain. All she could do was to stay with him quietly late at night.
While he was drinking, she sat and looked at the stars.
Mu Ning remembered that the stars were exceptionally bright that night, as if they could shine into people's hearts.
The day after Mrs. Gu's funeral, Gu Zhiyin went to see Gu Peiyuan.
He remains in prison, and more than two years in prison have changed him as a person.
He was submissive, his face was covered with wounds, and one of his eyes was knocked out. He must have offended someone in prison.
Gu Zhiyin didn't say anything when he saw him, but he clenched the phone eagerly and begged Gu Zhiyin to take him out.
"Ayin, uncle Zeng Jin is sorry for you. Please let me out. I promise to keep my tail between my legs in the future and stay away from you and Ning Ning."
Gu Zhiyin looked at the embarrassed Gu Peiyuan indifferently, "I'm here just to take a look at you for the old lady."
After saying that, he cut off the call. No matter how humblely Gu Peiyuan begged for mercy, Gu Zhiyin got up and left.
After leaving the prison, Gu Zhiyin went to a residential building in the suburbs.
Shen Yu pushed Gu Huaian for a walk in the yard and saw him. The batter she was going to give to Gu Huaian fell to the ground with a bang.
Shen Yu froze, and then her eyes turned red, but her upbringing from a scholarly family prevented her from rushing up and yelling at Gu Zhiyin.
She just looked at Gu Zhiyin quietly and angrily, "What are you here for? Do you want to take him away?"
Before Gu Zhiyin could react, Shen Yu pushed Gu Huai'an forward in the wheelchair, "Then you can take him away. I'm tired. I don't want to care anymore. It would be a relief to die together."
Gu Zhiyin stood at the door of the yard, looking indifferently at Gu Huaian in the wheelchair.
He had a stroke, his mouth was tilted, and he looked at Gu Zhiyin blankly, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Gu Zhiyin walked over and squatted down in front of Gu Huaian.
"Second uncle, the old lady gave this to you, take it."
He took out a card and put it in Gu Huaian's hand.
Gu Huaian held the card tightly and raised it towards him with a smile. As he grinned, saliva flowed down.
Gu Zhiyin stood up, glanced at Shen Yu, turned around and left.
"Take your card! We don't want your stuff!"
Shen Yu finally couldn't hold it back and exploded, taking the card from Gu Huaian's hand and throwing it towards Gu Zhiyin's back.
"Gu Zhiyin, you can't make up for Sisi's life with money!"
Gu Zhiyin paused, turned slightly to the side, and looked at Shen Yu without any emotion in his eyes, "I never thought about making up for it."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
When he arrived outside the hospital, the driver was waiting beside the car and opened the door for him.
Gu Zhiyin got into the car and without looking at Shen Yu again, the driver closed the door.
Shen Yu watched Gu Zhiyin's car drive away with red eyes, squatted on the ground exhausted, covered her eyes and cried.
Gu Huaian clapped happily and babbling.
…
On the day that Gu Qingyun left, Gu Zhiyin happened to get the title deed of the Gu family's old house and planned to demolish it and rebuild it into an amusement park.
Gu Qingyun called him, "The old lady actually died two years ago. When she heard that you and Mu Ning were divorcing, she couldn't let go of you. She has been holding on until now. She just wants to see you again."
Gu Zhiyin never spoke, and there was dead silence on the phone.
Gu Qingyun changed the topic and talked about her current situation, planning to marry a foreigner and settle abroad.
There will be no Gu family in the capital from now on. I hope he and Mu Ning can stay well in the capital.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingyun boarded the plane to England.
Gu Zhiyin looked up and watched the plane gliding in the sky, feeling as peaceful as the blue sky.
Everything in the Gu family has settled.
It is only circulated in people's chats after dinner.
…
After Gu Zhiyin returned to the company, Mu Ning felt a lot more relaxed, and she had more time to spend with Yanyan.
However, the young men in the Beijing circle began to get restless. They called Gu Zhiyin out all day and night, saying they were discussing things, but in fact they were just drinking and playing cards, playing some undisclosed entertainment between men.
"Gu Zhiyin is a married man, and you still take him to play until twelve o'clock and don't go home. Are you going a little too far?" Mu Ning called to question Jiang Yue.
"A man can't play outside after he gets married? How can your husband still have fun if he doesn't live a good life for a few years? He is the oldest in our circle. Why don't you show more sympathy to him?"
Jiang Yue spoke eloquently, but Mu Ning still didn't know what he was thinking.
Gu Zhiyin was probably listening nearby.
If she had known earlier, she would not have allowed Gu Zhiyin to return to the company. It would be very good to let him take care of the children at home. Now he socializes every day and comes home in the middle of the night. She and the children have fallen asleep. When she comes back, she smells of cigarettes and alcohol, and there are nightclubs The pungent perfume smell in it was overwhelming.
Mu Ning lost her temper with him several times, but was eventually coaxed by him.
Until one day.
Gu Zhiyin was joking with some friends when his phone suddenly vibrated.
He held half a cigarette in the hand holding the wine glass, and absentmindedly took out his cell phone with the other hand.
"Lao Gu, the inspection is very strict. I will send you a message from time to time to urge you to go home."
"That's right. I think Mr. Gu, who was high-spirited back then, is now a strict henpecker."
"Go away, I'm worried about someone. No one will know if you die outside." Gu Zhiyin chuckled and clicked on his phone to take a look.
It was indeed a message sent to him by Mu Ning.
Gu Zhiyin clicked on the picture and saw the content inside. His whole body suddenly froze, and his cigarettes and wine glasses fell to the ground.
