Chapter 1595: Thankful for Him
Mrs Gu looked at the elegant Dai Xuan and frowned at her.
Gu Meng really looked a little like this woman.
But Mrs Gu did not want to believe that Gu Meng had an extraordinary mother!
“That brat, Gu Meng, grew up in the fis.h.i.+ng village and is a born and bred fis.h.i.+ng village girl. Madam, don’t be mistaken and take the pheasant back to be a phoenix…”
Before Mrs Gu could finish speaking, Dai Xuan shouted, “Slap her mouth!”
The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and slapped Mrs Gu’s mouth.
The bodyguards were very fast and Mrs Gu could not avoid them even if she wanted to. Moreover, the slap was very heavy and Mrs Gu’s mouth immediately turned red and swollen.
Mrs Gu widened her eyes and looked at Dai Xuan in disbelief. “Even if you’re Gu Meng’s biological mother, can you hit and scold me, the adoptive mother who raised her for more than twenty years? Is there any justice in this world?” Mrs Gu said as she shouted at the top of her lungs like a shrew. “Oh my G.o.d, why is my life so bitter! My adoptive daughter found her biological mother and came to hit her adoptive mother. This mother and daughter are too evil. They will be punished by the heavens and die a horrible death!”
Gu Meng, who had been silent all this while, stood up with a fierce expression when she heard Mrs Gu cursing her mother. “Tell me honestly, did you really raise me? If it wasn’t for my father and younger brother, I might have been beaten to death by you!”
“I don’t want to point out how black-hearted you are to me. My mother and I came to see my father. You’re crying and being unreasonable. Do you really think we can’t do anything to you?”
Mrs Gu looked at Gu Meng, who still dared to talk back to her after having her mother’s support. She was furious. “You’re just a dog biting on the strength of your master. Do you really think that your biological mother loves you so much? If she loved you, she wouldn’t have abandoned you back then…”
Gu Meng stared at Mrs Gu, who still wanted to sow discord between them, feeling speechless.
At this moment, the hospital director rushed over.
When Mrs Gu saw the hospital director, she started to shout and complain about Dai Xuan and Gu Meng’s bad behavior.
The hospital director looked at the shrew-like Mrs Gu and ignored her. He walked to Dai Xuan and bowed respectfully. “Madam President, were you shocked?”
When Mrs Gu heard the words “Madam President”, she widened her eyes and looked at Dai Xuan in disbelief. “W-What country is she from?”
The hospital director glanced at Mrs Gu. “Y Country’s President.”
Mrs Gu’s body swayed unsteadily. If Gu Meng’s biological mother was the President, wouldn’t Gu Meng be a princess?
Thinking of how she had abused Gu Meng all those years ago, Mrs Gu felt a chill in her heart.
Mrs Gu lowered her head and curled up, not daring to say another word.
No matter how ignorant she was, she knew that the current Gu Meng could crush her like an ant with a single order!
Gu Meng stared at Mrs Gu, who was trembling in fear. Her face was tense as she said, “You can go back to the fis.h.i.+ng village later. In the future, you’re not allowed to leave that place. I’ll buy a house with Xiaoche in the capital and let him take good care of Dad. When Dad recovers, I won’t stop him if he’s willing to return to the fis.h.i.+ng village. If he’s unwilling to spend time with you again, you can stay there alone!”
Mrs Gu had always been domineering in the Gu family. Mr Gu had been suppressed by her and had once mentioned to Gu Meng that he did not want to live with Mrs Gu anymore. However, in the fis.h.i.+ng village, divorce was a big deal. Every time Mr Gu mentioned it, Mrs Gu would threaten them with suicide and make it known to everyone in the village. Mr Gu could not afford to lose face and with his weak personality, he could only endure it again and again.
When Mrs Gu heard that Gu Meng wanted her to return to the fis.h.i.+ng village alone and that she was not allowed to leave that place again, she was anxious and angry. She raised her red eyes, wanting to scold her, but when she met Dai Xuan’s sharp gaze, she immediately deflated like a balloon.
Gu Che returned from a walk with Mr Gu, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Seeing a group of people standing at the door of the ward, with Gu Meng among them, he was overjoyed. “Sister.”
Gu Meng turned around. Gu Che wanted to go forward and hug Gu Meng, but when he thought of the news he saw on his phone a few days ago that his sister was the daughter of Y Country’s President, Gu Che became a little timid.
Now that his sister had become a princess, her status was different. He was no longer fit to be her younger brother.
Gu Meng watched as Gu Che ran a few steps before he suddenly stopped. Seeing through his thoughts, she went forward and hugged him. “Xiaoche, I’ll always be your sister.”
Tears welled up in Gu Che’s eyes as he hugged Gu Meng back. “Sister, I’m happy for you. You’ll have a mother to dote on you in the future.”
When Mrs Gu saw that Mr Gu and Gu Che had returned, she looked like she had found her last savior. “Cheche, I don’t want to go back to the fis.h.i.+ng village alone. Please ask your sister for a favor and let me stay…”
“Let Daddy decide!” During the period when Mr Gu was hospitalized, Mrs Gu had never taken care of him. She did all sorts of things every day and Gu Che was a little tired.
Mr Gu could not speak properly, but he could still say a few simple words, and shake or nod his head. He looked at Mrs Gu, shook his head and said, “Don’t stay.”
Mrs Gu suddenly felt like she had fallen into an abyss and would never see the light again.
It was only then that she realized how much she had done in the past that her husband and son no longer had any feelings for her…
…
After seeing Mr Gu, Dai Xuan hugged Gu Meng into her arms on the way back from the hotel. “You silly child, why didn’t you tell Mom about all the hards.h.i.+ps you suffered in the past?”
Gu Meng raised her head from Dai Xuan’s arms and smiled. “The hards.h.i.+ps taught me to grow and be strong. Although I blamed the heavens for being unfair, I was still lucky. If not, I wouldn’t have met Brother Ah Dai, Brother Fu, and my mother who loved me the most.”
Dai Xuan touched Gu Meng’s hair. “My silly child.”
“As the saying goes, a fool has a fool’s luck. It’s referring to me!”
Dai Xuan was amused by Gu Meng’s words.
The atmosphere in the car was harmonious and warm.
…
When they arrived at the hotel, Dai Xuan went to take a bath while Gu Meng sat on the sofa and drew a design draft.
After meeting Mr Gu tonight, she suddenly had an inspiration.
Halfway through, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Gu Meng answered the call with a smile.
The man’s low voice sounded. “Are you asleep?”
“Not yet. Did you drink?”
The man chuckled softly. “I had a few more drinks with my fourth and fifth brothers tonight. I’m happy.”
His voice sounded a little drunk. He must have drunk more than a few gla.s.ses.
“Rest early if you drank too much.”
“I missed you.”
Gu Meng’s ears felt hot. “Didn’t we just meet tonight?”
He hummed hoa.r.s.ely. “I got someone to bring some supper over. It should be here soon. Open the door.”
Gu Meng hurriedly went to the door and opened it. Before she could see who was standing outside, she was pulled into a firm and hard chest.
