Chapter 487: Little Yan, I’m Sorry
The moment Gu Yan entered the room, she could feel the oppressive atmosphere in the room. The room that was originally tidy was now in a mess. The broom lay on the ground, and the cabbage leaves that had been left there for an unknown amount of time had already rotted.
There was no gauze on the windows or doors, and the mosquitoes were buzzing around without restraint.
At this moment, Gu Dagang’s slightly hoa.r.s.e voice came from the inner room. “Qiangzi, come back. It’s late at night. Don’t go out and run around.”
Gu Yan silently pushed the door open and saw Gu Dagang laying on the bed. Her tears fell.
Actually, it had only been a year, but Gu Dagang seemed to have aged ten years in front of her.
His temples were white, and his face was so thin that his cheekbones were sunken in. He coughed lightly, and his body trembled.
His broken arm hung there. The cloth that was tied to it was yellow, and the splint was crooked.
The moment Gu Dagang saw Gu Yan, he was stunned. He didn’t know what to say for a long time.
Gu Yan pursed her lips, sniffed, and said, “Dad, I’m back.”
“Ah!” Gu Dagang exclaimed, then immediately pressed down on the brick bed and said a little excitedly, “Are you stupid? This broken home, why are you still coming back? Go, go!”
This home was originally very depressing and had many problems, but after Zhang Lan left and Gu Dagang’s accident, it was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and the whole world instantly collapsed.
Gu Dagang could not endure it any longer.
He actually knew that Zhang Lan was not willing to live like this and would never come back.
He wanted to die in the past.
But he could not.
Gu Qiang was like that. He could not survive alone. Moreover, Zhang Lan clearly did not care about her son anymore.
For the sake of his silly son, Gu Dagang knew that he had to grit his teeth and survive.
During this period of time, Gu Dagang had been living in despair.
However, there was still a trace of relief in his heart. Gu Yan had already left this home. No matter what, it was good that she could leave this place.
Gu Yan lowered her eyes. She realized that Gu Dagang’s condition was very bad. Whether it was his arm that did not receive timely treatment or his mood that was on the verge of collapse.
At this time, Lu Ye had already walked to Gu Yan’s side and gently held her hand.
The rough feeling of the large hand was very warm, giving her strength.
Gu Yan raised her head and looked seriously at the hysterical Gu Dagang. She said, “Dad, I’ve partic.i.p.ated in the Galactic Alliance’s Examination. My results will be down in a while. When that time comes, I can go to the Empire’s First academy. This time, I’ve come back with my partner to visit you.”
“Apply to the Empire’s first academy? It’s good to do that,” Gu Dagang muttered. Then, he raised his head and realized that there was a tall and strange young man beside Gu Yan.
It was actually a good thing for his daughter to bring her partner home.
But at this moment, Gu Dagang felt very guilty.
Gritting his teeth, he decided to tell the truth. “Yan, I’m not your biological father! You’ve suffered so much all these years. I’m useless, I can’t help you at all…”
“I already know that I’m not your child.” Gu Yan laughed self-deprecatingly. “Otherwise, Zhang Lan wouldn’t have treated me like that since I was young.”
Gu Dagang was a little surprised. He was a little fl.u.s.tered and didn’t know what to say.
“Yes, I’ve indeed suffered a lot these years.” Gu Yan sighed lightly. “All of this was caused by Zhang Lan, so I won’t let her off.”
Gu Dagang suddenly raised his head.
Gu Yan looked at Gu Dagang seriously and continued, “Actually, I have also complained that you have been hiding the truth, but I know that everyone has their own choices. You may have sympathized with me and helped me in private, but Zhang Lan is your wife after all, the mother of your children. You two are the real family.”
“Yan Girl, I’m sorry…” Gu Dagang, a man in his forties, suddenly began to cry. He used his uninjured hand to cover his face, tears flowing from between his fingers.
