Gu Xin looked at her father.
It had been late that night, and her father was already asleep when she got home. She had climbed into his bed and tugged at his beard as she said, “Dad, I’m getting married. Di Yi proposed to me.”
She had been too excited back then to see his expression.
She had not noticed that her father had been silent for a while before smiling and saying that she had finally grown up.
“I can tolerate you in many things as long as you don’t hurt yourself.” Gu Zhengying seemed to calm down as he said to Gu Xin, “But I won’t compromise in hurting you. Gu Xin, marry Di An. Actually, Di An is really more suitable for you. Di Yi…”
“Dad,” Gu Xin interrupted him and stopped making a scene. She said, “I know I’m willful and playful and so careless that I don’t notice other people’s feelings, but I really don’t want to make myself suffer now. I won’t marry Di An, not even in death. No matter how you persuade me, and no matter what I’m facing, I won’t marry him. Never!”
“Then, you want Dad to watch you go to jail?!” Gu Zhengying asked.
Gu Xin bit her lip as tears welled up in her eyes. “I don’t know, I don’t know, but I can’t stand being forced like this. I can’t stand it. I’m marrying a man I don’t love, and my pursuit of love is simple. I just want to marry the person I like, no matter what his background or status is! But now, I just want to marry Di Yi. Why is it so difficult?”
Gu Zhengying was silent for a while.
Gu Xin wiped her tears and suddenly said, “I’m going to look for Di Yi.”
“Gu Xin!” Gu Zhengying called out.
Gu Xin had already run out.
Lu Manman looked at Gu Xin’s back and hesitated for a while, but she did not chase after her. She looked at Gu Zhengying and said, “Uncle, let Gu Xin find Di Yi. She won’t give up until the end anyway.”
Gu Zhengying sighed. “I really don’t know why she’s so stubborn.”
“It’s because she’s too innocent.” Lu Manman smiled. “She thinks that love is just simple and straightforward. She never thought of making herself suffer to accept others.”
“I’ve indulged her since she was young.”
“She’ll learn to grow up one day,” Lu Manman said. “Uncle, I have something to attend to, so I’ll get going first. Don’t worry too much. Everything will get better.”
Gu Zhengying smiled kindly at her. “Go ahead.”
“Okay, bye.”
Lu Manman left the Gu family’s villa.
In Qin Ao’s car, she said, “Let’s go to the private hospital in the city center.”
“Mm-hm.” Qin Ao nodded respectfully.
Lu Manman looked out the car window at the streets of Wen City. She did not know if what she was doing now would change the setting in the future. She only knew that it would not change if she did not do it. If she did, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
They arrived at their destination very soon.
Lu Manman got off and headed to the hospital, heading straight to Di An’s ward.
In the ward, she seemed to see a familiar figure.
She was sure that she had not seen wrongly. It was Mo Yuanxiu.
Mo Yuanxiu stood before Di An’s hospital bed. The two of them seemed to be saying something.
Her appearance attracted their attention.
Mo Yuanxiu saw that Lu Manman’s expression was the same as usual and just smiled calmly.
“Who’s here?” Di An asked.
