Wang Yuheng had not yet boarded the plane, and upon hearing the news, he hastily followed Gu Huai back to Shanghai. Before they even arrived at Gu's home, they heard that the person had already been sent to the hospital. The car had barely come to a stop when Wang Yuheng pushed open the door and got out, almost falling over.
"Mom, slow down!" Gu Huazhe hastily supported Wang Yuhuan.
As soon as the two got off the car, they were surrounded by a group of reporters in an instant.
"Miss Guo, I heard that Mr. Guo fell from upstairs and is now in critical condition, being rescued, is it true?"
"Now that Gu's shareholders have heard this news, their stock has plummeted. What countermeasures does Gu have regarding this?"
"General Manager Gu has gone to stabilize the company's situation. I heard that General Gu intends to hand over the company to her, as his own daughter. What do you think about this?"
"Mrs. Wang, how did you end up here now? Are you still in touch with Mr. Gu?"
"Mrs. Wang, if something happens at home, would you be willing to help?"
Wang Yuheng is a financial magazine's sweetheart, beautiful, strong and with a strong background, who doesn't know her.
She glanced at the work permits of those people, "Let go!" As soon as her voice fell, several men in black suits suddenly appeared around them, forcibly separating the reporters and squeezing out a path. Wang Yuhan pulled Gu Huazhu along, running quickly.
Even the elevator couldn't wait, and ran directly to the third floor operating room.
Mrs. Gu, Yang Huiru and two other servants of the Gu family were waiting at the door, and they were all surprised to see Wang Yuheng coming over.
"What's happened to my dad?!" Gu Huazhu rushed straight to Mrs. Gu's place.
"Ah Rong..." Madam Gu had already cried her eyes red, and when asked by Gu Hua, she couldn't speak, tears streaming down her face, "He..."
"Grandma, don't worry first, what's Dad's situation now? Is it serious?"
As soon as Gu Huazhuo's voice fell, the door of the operating room was suddenly opened. "Are you all Gu Canrong's family members?"
"It's me!" several people exclaimed in unison.
The patient's injury has reached the skull, and the situation is not very optimistic...
"Doctor, you have to save my son, he's only in his 40s... Doctor—" Madam Gu cried uncontrollably, and if not for Gu Huacheng holding her up, she would have definitely fallen to the ground.
"Old lady, please don't get agitated. Although the situation is not very optimistic, there's no danger to her life. Since she was injured in the brain, the recovery period will be relatively long. After the surgery, it's still unknown when she'll wake up, so let's all be prepared!"
"That's saying people are fine?" Wang Yuheng's hands were clenched tightly, and his palms were all sweaty.
"You can say that," said the doctor and walked back in.
The operation lasted for a full five hours. When Gu Panrong was wheeled out, the sky was dark and gloomy, as if it had been dyed with thick ink.
Gu Huazhuo only then noticed that Gu Pianrong not only had bandages wrapped around his head, but also had a plaster cast on his leg, wearing thin hospital clothes, with a pale complexion, and many tubes attached to his body. Gu Huazhuo bit her lip tightly, her nose sour, and her eyes reddened.
Gu Xuanrong was sent to the ward for intravenous infusion, and several people sat around the bed in silence.
Until...
"Excuse me," a man in a gray suit said as he pushed open the door.
"Attorney Zhuo, what brings you here." Yang Huiru's face was filled with astonishment, and behind him followed Gu Zekai. Although they had only been apart for a short day, the feeling he gave off was increasingly gloomy, his eyes were sharp and piercing, and his expression was icy cold.
"Coming to disturb at this time is really not good, but this is also what General Gu means?"
"Isn't it time to divide the property?" Wang Yuheng leaned against the wall, sneering. "This person is still fine, and yet they can't wait."
Although Wang Yuheng had never met Gu Zekei before, she knew intuitively that this man...
Heartless.
"Ah..." Zhuo Yang saw Wang Yuhan, stunned for half a day without saying a word, and was stared at by her until his scalp felt numb. He sulkily shifted his gaze away, "Ms. Wang, you're here too."
"If there's something to say, just say it." Gu Huazai already had a plan in mind.
"It's like this, General Manager Ku had drafted a document with me a long time ago, saying that if something unexpected happened to him, the company's assets would be divided in various ways."
"Pan Rong is fine now, what are you talking nonsense here." Old Lady Gu heard this and became anxious, isn't this cursing her son?!
"I just consulted with the doctor, and General Manager Gu's current physical condition is still uncertain when he will wake up. Even if he recovers, it's estimated that managing the company will also...". Zhuo Yang coughed twice, "Since everyone is here, I'll convey General Manager Gu's intentions to everyone."
"Say." Gu Huazhuo's fingers lightly fiddled with his phone, surprisingly calm.
"Under Mr. Gu's name, there are a total of eight properties, one of which is left to Miss Gu Huazhuo as her dowry for future marriage, and some futures stocks, which will be divided equally among Mrs. Yang Huiru, Mr. Gu Zeke and Miss Gu Huazhuo. He has six cars under his name, respectively..."
Zhuo Yang spoke for a few minutes before finally getting to the point that everyone was concerned about.
"Mr. Gu Wanrong has decided to transfer all his shares and operating rights in Gu's Group to Mr. Gu Zekai."
"Really?" Yang Huiru was overjoyed.
"This is what Director Gu means, it's all explained in the document, and there's even Director Gu's personal signature. If you don't believe me, we can ask someone to come and verify it." Zhuo Yang handed the document directly to Gu Huazhu.
"No need to look." Gu Huazai said with a hint of interest, "Uncle Zhuo has been following my dad for over twenty years, right?"
"Hmm." Zhuo Yang felt inexplicably guilty under her gaze.
"Not bad!" Gu Huazhuo smiled lightly.
Originally, she thought her father's sudden accident was unexpected, but now it seems that it may not be so normal after all.
"This can't be...!" Mrs. Gu suddenly became agitated, "Did he make a mistake? How could Pan Rong give him all the company's shares? It's impossible!"
"Madam, it is indeed written this way on the document, I..." Zhuo Yang appeared extremely helpless.
"Ah----" Yang Huiru was exceptionally excited, "Ze Kai, isn't the company ours now? This..."
"Yang Huiru, what nonsense are you talking about? This company belongs to our Gu family!" Old Lady Gu scolded.
"Pan Rong has already given the company to Zeke!" Yang Huiru suddenly felt that she had enough confidence in her words. "The documents are clear and straightforward, with black and white evidence."
"This can't be! Yesterday he was still telling me that he wanted to give the company to Xiaoxiao, how...” Madam Gu looked at Gu Huaxiao.
Gu Huazai shrugged and said he didn't know what was going on either.
"Are they mother and son colluding in there, this document is definitely fake! We should take care of our bodies well, what's the point of doing these things!" Old Lady Gu snatched the document and tore it to shreds.
"This is a photocopy, it's useless even if you tear it up." Zhuo Yang sighed.
"Are they in cahoots with each other to cheat our Gu family out of money?!" Old Lady Gu pounced on Zhuo Yang.
"Old lady, you can't just say that, how could I do such a thing? I've followed Director Gu for over 20 years, don't you know my character?"
"Mother, don't get agitated. Even if the company is given to Zeke, he's still your grandson, and he'll definitely take care of you in the future!" Yang Huiru's face was filled with joy that she couldn't hide, as she went over to support the elderly lady who was on the verge of collapse.
"Get out!" Mrs. Gu pushed her away, "What kind of thing are you? Don't forget, you used to be just a tea-picking girl, and who made you what you are today? Don't forget that!"
Gu Hua Zuo and Wang Yu Han exchanged a glance, saying really, this matter is actually the first time I've heard of it.
Yang Huiru has been living a glorious life in recent years, but suddenly being mentioned about past events, especially in front of Wang Yuheng, she felt embarrassed, "My origin is not good, what's wrong with that."
"A certain white-eyed wolf, always saying they liked Pang Rong, trying to curry favor with me and asking me to arrange for them to be by Pang Rong's side. Who would have thought that..."
"Old Lady Gu, don't talk nonsense. Everyone can see how Zeke has been doing in the Gu's all these years. In all the big projects of the Gu's over the years, Zeke has helped a lot."
"What we're fighting for is our family's business, this is the Guo family's company!"
"Now we have Zeke with the surname Gu, how can he not be a member of the Gu family?"
"......" Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she was trembling with rage.
"He is indeed not your biological grandson, but what has your own granddaughter been doing all these years? Has she helped with the company's affairs at all? It was my son who had been working hard for the company all these years, and it's only natural that Rongrong handed over the management of the company to him because he is capable!"
"You shameless thing, I'll beat you to death!" The old lady couldn't reason with her and rushed over to fight with her.
She was in a rage, and her blows were neither light nor heavy. Yang Huiru was actually slapped twice by her.
"That's enough!" Gu Ze Kai stepped forward and pulled the two apart. "This is Uncle's meaning, if you have any opinions go find a lawyer!"
"What a scoundrel! When we first came to the Gu's house, it wasn't like this!" Old Lady Gu pounded her chest and stamped her feet.
"It wasn't you who said it, but your previous daughter-in-law was overbearing and domineering, didn't put this mother-in-law in her eyes at all. But I'm different, I'm gentle and virtuous, very suitable for your son." Yang Huiru still didn't forget to stir up their relationship.
"Get out of here! Scram!" Old Lady Gu raised her cane and was about to hit them.
"Get out! I don't want to stay with that woman anyway!" Yang Huiru snorted, glaring fiercely at Wang Yuhuan before turning around and walking away.
Gu Ze Kai gave Gu Hua Zhu a meaningful glance.
From start to finish, she didn't utter a word, quiet to the point of being terrifying.
From how she handled Su Mo's matter, it can be seen that she has the means to do so. However, since she did things seamlessly, she shouldn't stir up any waves.
"Still not leaving!" Old Lady Gu glared at Gu Ze Kai.
"Grandma, I'll come back another day to visit Uncle." After saying that, she left the hospital room.
"Oh no!" - Mrs. Gu collapsed on the ground, wailing loudly, her voice mournful and sorrowful.
It wasn't until then that Gu Huazhe finally understood how Yang Huiru had entered the Gu household.
Mrs. Guo didn't like her mother-in-law to begin with. One time when she went to participate in a tea art competition, she met Yang Huiru, a single mother who had raised her son through college on her own. She was gentle and kind, and especially considerate towards Mrs. Guo. At that time, Gu Quanrong was busy with work at the company almost every day, only coming back once or twice a month, and whenever he came back, he would be drunk.
She then started thinking of matchmaking for the two, Yang Huiru naturally agreed, and after Gu Canrong came back drunk, something unexpected happened.
After several months, Yang Huiru became pregnant and it was found out that she was having a boy.
Madam Gu was overjoyed and couldn't wait to hold her grandson, crying and making a fuss. Gu Panrong agreed to take the child in, but the person couldn't come in.
Because his mother was pressing him, he simply moved to the company to live. More than half a month had passed before he learned from the newspaper that his mother had actually brought Yang Huiru home, under the pretext of taking care of her pregnancy.
Yang Huiru originally lived in a crowded rental house, which was not suitable for raising children. Mrs. Gu wanted to hold her grandson so badly that she took him back home to ensure his safety. When the media photographed them, rumors immediately spread that Gu Manrong was preparing to remarry, and some even said that they had been living together before he divorced, making him extremely angry.
Back home, his mother again threatened him repeatedly. Gu Panrong had planned to buy a house for Yang Huiru outside, but was vetoed by her. As the matter dragged on, the incident with Gu Huazhuo came out. Yang Huiru, in order to prove that she was a child of the Gu family, specially underwent amniocentesis. Her intentions were sincere and heartfelt, and his mother even threatened to die if he didn't comply. Gu Panrong could only keep her at the Gu residence for recuperation...
In the end, she took charge and let Gu Quanrong marry Yang Huiru. This matter dragged on for a long time, until the second year after the divorce, when they simply had a wedding banquet, but Yang Huiru never entered the household register of the Gu family from start to finish.
"It was I who wronged Pan Rong, it was I—" Madam Gu cried until she almost fainted.
Aunt Chen kept comforting her, but Gu Huazai felt a burning sensation in his heart. At the time of their parents' divorce, she and Gu Panrong had a tense relationship, so she simply moved to school to live. She also got the news from the newspaper, and it was the first time she heard about all this, feeling suffocated, she went out for some fresh air.
**
The hospital at night was quiet and still.
She walked up to the vending machine and was about to grab a coffee when a pair of slender hands reached out and helped her get a cup of hot milk.
"Old Nine..." Gu Huajiao turned his head to look at him.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jiuxiao slightly opened his arms, "Come over—"
"Huh?"
"Don't you want a hug?"
Gu Hua Zuo barely squeezed out a faint smile from the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to hug Ye Jiu Xiao, and buried his head in his chest.
Ye Jiuxiao wrapped his arms tightly around her shoulders, lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair, "It's okay, I'm here."
"I just feel stifled."
"Hug me and still feel constrained?"
"I know I didn't say that."
"Do you need my help?" Ye Jiuxiao rubbed her hair.
"No need, I'll take back our family's things myself." Gu Huazhu gritted his teeth.
"I'll take you out for a bite first." Ye Jiuxiao said and pulled her out without giving her a chance to refuse.
"My mom is still in the hospital..."
"I'll definitely stay here with Uncle tonight, won't we have dinner? It's just right to pack a portion for Mom and bring it back, in case that mother-son pair hasn't resolved things yet and they've fainted from hunger."
Gu Huazhu nodded.
It's just a meal, but I don't know what to eat, and the more I think about it, the less appetizing it becomes.
"No way!" Gu Huazhuo put down his chopsticks.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jiuxiao raised an eyebrow.
"I'm going home for a visit!"
"Ji ji......" Ye Jiu Xiao shouted a few times, but she didn't even turn her head.
Ye Feng hastily caught up.
Originally thought Gu Huazhuo would return to the hospital, but unexpectedly he went straight back to the Gu's house.
There were still a few reporters at the entrance of Gu's house, and when they saw Gu Huai return, they immediately surrounded him.
"Miss Gu, how is Mr. Gu's condition now? I heard he has come out of the operating room, when will he wake up?"
"According to insiders, Mr. Gu will be succeeded by General Manager Gu Ze Kai, what's your take on this?"
Ye Feng had already led someone to separate the reporter directly, allowing her to walk in unimpeded.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard Yang Huiru's rather pleased and joyful voice.
"Zekai, aren't you going to eat? There's a lot of work to be done tomorrow..."
"Big sister——" The servant was quite surprised, and before she could even announce her, Gu Huazhu had already walked in with big strides.
Wrapped in the cold wind of winter, his face was pale and calm, with a hint of frost in his eyes, which was even colder than the biting wind.
"How did you get here?!" Yang Huiru put down her chopsticks.
Gu Hua Zuo looked at the full table of dishes and smiled coldly, "Enjoying your meal?"
"Will you come back and help P'an Jung get his clothes? I've already had the servant prepare them, and was just about to take them over myself. After all, we are husband and wife..."
Yang Huiru's words had barely fallen when Gu Huazhuo walked directly to the edge of the dinner table, grasped the tablecloth with his hand and exerted force, causing the dishes and soup on the table to spill all over the floor. The sound of plates hitting the ground accompanied the splashing liquid everywhere. Gu Zekei had been sitting on the sofa reading documents and hadn't eaten yet, but ended up getting Yang Huiru's clothes dirty.
"Ah——" Yang Huiru screamed, "This madman, what is he going to do!"
"Go on!" Gu Huazhuo sneered.
"Even if Dad handed over the company to Zeke, he can't be so reckless!"
"According to what my dad said, all of his properties are left to me, which means that this ancestral mansion is also mine."
"What does it mean?"
"What else can you mean? Get out of here!" Gu Hua pointed at the gate.
"Gu Huazhao, don't be too excessive!"
"Am I not clear enough? Alright, let me put it bluntly: take your son and get out of my house, now! Immediately!"
Digression
Suddenly I feel that Jiuzi is really gentle...
