In the hospital at the center of C city, Gu Qingyou gently pushed open the door to the ward.
When the nurse saw her, she wanted to greet her. Gu Qingyou immediately shushed her with a hand gesture, and the nurse lowered her voice, "You came."
Gu Qingyou nodded to the nurse, then walked over to the bed and looked at the elder who was sleeping soundly, and asked softly, "Has Aunt Shu woken up today?"
"She woke up once in the morning. She's in good spirits."
Gu Qingyou heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She quietly sat down on the edge of the bed and then put Auntie Shu's hand inside the blanket.
Unexpectedly, this meticulous action disturbed the elders who were sleeping soundly. Aunt Shu's eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Gu Qingyou was very happy to see the sober Aunt Shu, but she felt apologetic for disturbing his sleep. She opened her mouth and whispered, "Did I disturb your sleep?"
When Aunt Shu saw Gu Qingyou, she tried to sit up.
Gu Qingyou hurriedly stepped forward to support her, allowing the Aunt Shu to rest comfortably on the soft pillow.
"You did not wake me when you came, so that I did not know you were here." Aunt Shu said as he pulled Gu Qingyou's hand over and placed it in his own.
Gu Qingyou looked at Shuyi's loving face in satisfaction, and said indifferently, "You have just finished the surgery, the doctor said that you need to rest more."
Aunt Shu replied lovingly, "So you always come to see me while I'm sleeping right?"
Gu Qingyou smiled lightly, and did not deny it.
Aunt Shu smiled along with her as she held Gu Qingyou tightly in her hands. She was reluctant to blink and looked at her deeply, "Seeing that you have such a good job now, I feel at ease. It's just that when you came back that day, I found that you had lost some weight. You have to take care of your body no matter what, okay? "
During the twenty odd days that Gu Qingyou had spent in the Jiang's Mansion, An Yaru told Aunt Shu that due to his promotion, Gu Qingyou would be working in the city area for the long term, so he would not have much time to return home.
"I know, actually my job is very relaxed, I am not ski
y at all. Aunt Shu, it has been a long time since you last saw me, that's why you think I have lost weight." Gu Qingyou calmly replied.
"You're so busy that you don't even have the time to come back and see me. How can you say it's an easy job?" Aunt Shu said shrewdly.
Gu Qingyou hurriedly replied, "I don't have time to go home because the company has too many trivial matters, but the content of the work is very relaxed. Otherwise, how could I be in such a good mood?"
Aunt Shu was amused, "Good, good, good. Seeing that you are in a good mood, I believe you know how to take care of yourself. However, now that you have been promoted, the colleagues that you have interacted with are all of high status. Have you paid attention to whether there are any outstanding male colleagues around you? "
"Yes, I have been paying attention every day. I have always been following your teachings, Aunt Shu, and will not let go of outstanding people. I will marry myself to others as soon as possible!" Gu Qingyou said in an amused tone.
Aunt Shu was gri
ing from ear to ear, "Don't try to lie to me, you're not young anymore, it will take you two to three years to start a relationship with someone else. Twenty-five years old is just about right for you to give birth to a child."
"Yes."
Just as the two of them were happily chatting, when the ward's door was pushed open, a sweet voice rang out, "I heard your laughter before I even came in. Really, Aunt Shu isn't this happy to see me normally, I'm so sad!"
The one who spoke was An Yaru, she carried two bags of fruits and walked over.
Aunt Shu looked at An Yaru benevolently, and said with a smile, "You should know that her words are always better than yours."
An Yaru put down the fruit in his hand, walked to Gu Qingyou's side and snorted, "Right, right, in terms of coaxing the elders, I am definitely ashamed of myself."
Aunt Shu was once again amused by An Yaru's "jealous" look.
Gu Qingyou laughed along with her, noticing that An Yaru was winking at her, realizing that An Yaru seemed to have something to say to her. She then said to Aunt Shu, "I'm going to the washroom."
The Aunt Shu nodded.
Gu Qingyou left the sickroom and went to the corridor to wait. After a while, An Yaru also came out.
An Yaru's voice was heavy as he pulled her towards the balcony at the end of the corridor.
On the balcony, An Yaru no longer had the smile on his face from earlier as he said heavily, "I just called you, you probably forgot to bring your phone. I guessed that you came to the hospital to see the Aunt Shu, so I came to find you."
"Yeah, I forgot to bring my phone. What happened?" Gu Qingyou could already see the seriousness of the situation from An Yaru's worried expression, and asked solemnly.
An Yaru took out his own phone, found a video and played it.
"Qingyou, you save me, if you don't give me a million dollars as redemption, they will really kill me, please, Qingyou, Mommy promises you, I won't gamble anymore, I beg you, please save Mommy, they only give me three hours to raise the money."
The main character of the video was Gu Qingyou's mother, Qu Liyuan.
In the video, Qu Liyuan was tied up in a dark hut and there were a few gangsters recording the video. One of the gangsters had even placed a knife on Qu Liyuan's neck, making Qu Liyuan scream in fear.
An Yaru said in fear, "I asked a friend of mine who understood computers, he said that this video was not fake. That is to say, Aunt Qu is really threatened by the underworld."
After a moment of silence, Gu Qingyou asked calmly, "How did you get this video?"
An Yaru hurriedly replied, "An hour ago, I received a call from Aunt Qu, she told me that she could not contact you, and that I needed to contact you as soon as possible so that you could give her a million. I was afraid that Aunt Qu would lie to you again, so I decided to tell you about it when we meet again during di
er. Who would have thought that I would receive this video half an hour later? "
Gu Qingyou's face finally turned pale as she pursed her lips tightly.
An Yaru gently supported Gu Qingyou's trembling body, "The person's throat had a clear cut in the video, it is impossible for Aunt Qu to work with those people to create a fake video, furthermore Aunt Qu knows that you don't have a million, what do we do now?"
Gu Qingyou remained silent for a long while, and his body continued to grow colder and colder.
"Or we can stop worrying about your mommy. She's a vampire." An Yaru suddenly shouted in anger, "Let her be chopped to death by these gangsters this time. After so many years of helping her return the bet, she is still as unrepentant as before. Her death would be a relief to you! "
Gu Qingyou closed his eyes in pain.
Gu Qingyou took a deep breath before slowly opening his eyes, and said softly. "Ya Ru, can your friend here lend me some money?"
Seeing Gu Qingyou straighten his thin body, An Yaru's eyes moistened. "Qingyou, forget it, your mother is hopeless, even if you saved her this time, she will still go gamble next time. You're currently filling a bottomless pit!"
"I know, but she gave birth to me, so I owe her my life. This time, I saved her, so I will treat it as paying back her life. From now on, even if I don't ask if she lives or dies, I have a clear conscience."
