In the emergency room in the hospital, Guan Meiyi was undergoing an examination inside. Sudden fainting could be caused by many diseases. Gu Zhiqian stood outside the emergency room with anxiety while waiting for the results of the doctor’s examination.
At this moment, Zhao Huimin also came in Gu Zhiqian’s subordinate’s car and looked over. “How is it? Is she still inside?”
This was the second time Zhao Huimin had come to the emergency room in the hospital. Both times, it was because of Guan Meiyi. Thinking of this, Zhao Huimin couldn’t help but mutter, “Why do things keep happening to her?”
Gu Zhiqian raised his eyes to look at Zhao Huimin. She also knew that what she said was inappropriate. Gu Zhiqian definitely didn’t like hearing her words, so his face tightened and he said, “If you ask me, Meiyi fainted this time because of Fang Hua and those people from the Gu family. Today, it was clearly Fang Hua who was in the wrong, yet in the end, your grandfather still sided with her and spoke up for her. In the eyes of your grandfather and those Elders, Gu Zhilin would always be important, the head of the Gu family is important, and the pride of the Gu family is important. For these reasons, they are unable to distinguish right from wrong! You’ve been wronged by Gu Zhilin and his siblings since you were young. I’m still beng bullied by them even now!”
For so many years, even though Gu Zhiqian had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Gu family, he had been enduring it. When he was young, he was still very weak, so he was often bullied by Gu Zhilin and his siblings, who were much older than him. Old Master Gu never cared about these matters. Once he complained, not only would he be blamed by Old Master Gu, but he would also be bullied by Gu Zhilin and the others more severely.
Even if Zhao Huimin wanted to fight for things, she had no other choice but to rely on her husband. After her husband died, her status in the Gu family became even lower.
The reason Gu Zhilin and the others bullied him like that was not only because they hated his mother, Zhao Huimin, but also because they didn’t want him to vy for the inheritance with them.
When he was still young, once, Gu Zhilin found an excuse to lure him out. Afterwards, he locked him in a dark room on the mountains.
Gu Zhiqian, who was still very young at that time, was extremely scared. He kept knocking on the door and shouting. He called Gu Zhilin “Brother”, but in the end, he couldn’t hear anything except Gu Zhilin’s evil laughter and the sound of his retreating footsteps.
Gu Zhilin’s motive was very clear. He wanted to trap Gu Zhiqian there, and it was best if he died here. He didn’t want him to appear in the Gu family in the future.
Gu Zhiqian couldn’t get out of the house through the door. The window was nailed shut with a wooden board, but it wasn’t completely nailed shut. Gu Zhiqian used his weak little hand to forcefully remove the nail from the wooden board. Then, he broke the glass and escaped from the cabin.
He roamed the dark mountains. By the time he returned home with injuries all over his body, it was already the next morning.
He saw that everyone was having breakfast at home. Even his mother, Zhao Huimin, didn’t know that he wasn’t at home for the entire night. It was only when she saw him covered in bruises that she found out about it.
Gu Zhiqian originally thought that someone would come to comfort him, but in the end, Old Master Gu scolded him for being a naughty child who only knew how to play all day long. Zhao Huimin also thought that he didn’t go home because he was playing outside. She thought that he was a good-for-nothing who had embarrassed her. She even hit him.
Looking at Gu Zhilin’s threatening eyes, Gu Zhiqian didn’t tell the truth in the end. He didn’t say it not because he was afraid of Gu Zhilin, but because from that moment on, he clearly realized that in the Gu family, unless he was strong, no one would help him.
