Chapter 272 Will they force us to divorce?
He Yi hadn't expected his sister to run into Gu Zhiyao. He was just thinking about how to introduce Gu Zhiyao when Chenchen said, "Auntie, this is Aunt Gu. She took care of me for a while when I was just born. Today she came out to play with me and we just happened to run into Great-Grandma."
Aunt Gu?
He Xi is usually busy with work. Although she values her younger brother and loves her little nephew, she hasn't really thought about who has taken care of the little guy. After all, it's a small matter, and Zheng Yuanxi has been handling it. Now, hearing Chenchen introduce her like this, she felt a little suspicious and strange, but she still greeted Gu Zhiyao politely, "Hello."
Gu Zhiyao realized that the woman in front of her was Yifei's mother.
She and Yifei had known each other for more than half a year. As their friendship deepened, Yifei would talk to her about his past. From Yifei's words, it seemed that his relationship with his mother was not very good!
Looking at He hope now, her appearance is undeniably stunning, and she possesses a remarkable temperament—a noble and dignified air that comes from being raised in a wealthy family, exuding the aura of a strong woman. Her sharp gaze perfectly matches the image of the assertive mother described by Yi Fei.
Seeing Gu Zhiyao staring intently at him, He Xi raised an eyebrow.
Gu Zhiyao quickly recovered and politely said, "Hello!"
Next, He hope turned her gaze away and continued to talk to He Yi about some issues. It seemed that other members of the He family also came to see the old lady one after another. Gu Zhiyao did not want to attract attention, and since Niu Niu was still at the hotel, she left the hospital first.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but come to the ward door with Chenchen and say, "Chenchen, be good. Now that Great-Grandma is sick, Daddy might not have time to take care of you. You have to take good care of yourself. If anything happens, just call Auntie."
"Okay, Aunt Gu, don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll take good care of myself!"
"Mmm." Gu Zhiyao touched his face, hugged him, and watched him reluctantly go back to the ward before leaving herself.
Lin Yu was at the hotel with Niu Niu when Gu Zhiyao returned. She immediately asked how things had gone. Gu Zhiyao then told her about the unexpected incident that day. After finishing, she was filled with regret. "Yu, do you think I made a mistake? I used her like this for my own purposes. Her sudden fainting is a warning from God."
"Uh, what nonsense are you talking about! Even if God really has eyes, he should punish Zheng Yuanxi and the others, not you!"
"But the moment Grandma Gu fainted, I really regretted it and was very scared, afraid that she would never wake up again."
"Everything's alright now, so you don't need to be afraid anymore. But now that this has been brought up, the old lady will definitely take some action after she wakes up. We'll see if she's righteous and if her feelings for you are that deep. Let's just wait patiently for now. By the way, you've been through a lot all day, so I'll order you some porridge. After you eat, take a bath and get a good night's sleep. We'll go to the hospital to see Grandma Gu tomorrow."
With Lin Yu's comforting and persuasive words, Gu Zhiyao ate, took a shower, and went to bed early. However, she was plagued by nightmares during her sleep.
She dreamt that the old lady didn't help her, but instead sided with He Yi and Zheng Yuanxi, and even used various forces to drive her out of Yuncheng!
Then she dreamed that even Chenchen disliked and despised her, accusing her of being a bad woman who ruined their peaceful life.
In short, I was plagued by all sorts of nightmares.
She woke up with a start and found that it was already daytime!
A familiar figure was sitting in front of the bed.
"Brother Xiao Lin?" Gu Zhiyao called out hesitantly, her voice a little hoarse.
Xiao Lin smiled gently. "Did you have a nightmare? You really need to change this habit. It's best not to think about anything before you go to sleep so you can sleep soundly."
Gu Zhiyao's throat tightened, and then she asked, "When did you get here?"
"I came this morning. Do you still want to sleep? If you don't want to sleep, get up and have breakfast first. Niu Niu is already awake. Lin Yu took her to the third floor to swim."
Gu Zhiyao looked at the bed and found that the little girl was indeed nowhere to be seen, so she got up.
Breakfast was brought by Xiao Lin, consisting of pastries that Gu Zhiyao liked to eat when she was a child. Gu Zhiyao felt a warmth in her heart and told Xiao Lin about yesterday's events while eating.
After hearing this, Xiao Lin said, "Lin Yu is right. No matter what the outcome is, we will only know after the old lady wakes up. You don't need to worry too much. At worst, this method will also fail. Moreover... we have a new lead on the man we are investigating who had a relationship with Zheng Yuanxi."
"Really?" Gu Zhiyao was immediately pleasantly surprised.
"He's been imprisoned in the villa, so it must have been the Zheng family who did it. We've already sent people to keep a close eye on the Zheng family, and I believe we'll have results soon. In short, we'll definitely succeed."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao Lin, for doing so much for me."
"Fool, we don't need to be so polite."
“However, I still want to go to the hospital to see Grandma He,” Gu Zhiyao suddenly said.
"Yes, the old lady is still a very important connection, and we can't abandon her until the very end."
Gu Zhiyao first called Chenchen to find out if the old lady had woken up, but the little guy's watch phone was not turned on. Gu Zhiyao wondered if she should call Quan Xinyu. Just then, Niu Niu came back, so Gu Zhiyao decided to wait and contact Chenchen later.
Unbeknownst to her, the old lady had woken up in the early hours of the morning. He Yi had been busy the previous night, and Tan Yifei had been keeping watch at the hospital. The old lady cried as soon as she woke up and asked Yifei to call He Yi immediately and ask He Yi and Zheng Yuanxi to come to the hospital.
He Yi was already mentally prepared and knew what his grandmother wanted to say to them. After pondering for a moment, he also briefly told Zheng Yuanxi about what had happened yesterday.
Zheng Yuanxi was shocked and filled with anger and jealousy upon hearing this. After a while, she suppressed these emotions and held onto He Yi, looking pitiful. "Ayi, what should we do next? Will Grandma really be bewitched by Gu Zhiyao and give Chenchen to Gu Zhiyao? No, Ayi, I've been with Chenchen for so many years. I value him more than my own life. I can't lose him!"
"It's alright, don't panic, let's go over and hear what Grandma has to say." He Yi couldn't bear it after all and comforted her.
“But I’m still scared. I also thought, if Grandma knew I couldn’t have children, would she force you to divorce me? Ah Yi…” Zheng Yuanxi cried.
He Yi gently hugged her and continued to comfort her, "Don't worry, okay? I'm here for you."
Zheng Yuanxi continued to feign tears for a while before wiping them away and nodding to He Yi.
They arrived at the hospital.
Yifei immediately stood up and greeted them.
He Yi said to Yi Fei, "You've worked hard."
"It's not hard work. Great-Grandma has something to do, so it's my responsibility to take care of her too." Yifei, unaware of the situation, lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, Great-Grandma seems to be in a bad mood. She even refuses to eat breakfast. Do you think we can persuade her?"
"Okay." He Yi nodded. "You go and rest for a bit. I'll take care of things here. Also, I have something to talk to Grandma about."
Seeing his uncle's solemn expression and recalling his great-grandmother's reaction, Yifei, though curious, went out first.
Only the old lady, He Yi, and Zheng Yuanxi remained in the ward.
The old lady's face was somber. Her eyes first glanced at He Yi, then fell on Zheng Yuanxi, her gaze sharp as a sword.
Zheng Yuanxi shuddered and grabbed He Yi's arm tightly.
