Chapter 161: Chapter 161 His Panic and Confusion
The long wait felt like centuries to Gu Qiangwei.
“I’m telling you, your father’s company declared bankruptcy a few days ago, so you won’t get a dime,” said Chen Peifang, who rambled on beside her, but Gu Qiangwei simply wasn’t in the mood to listen.
It wasn’t until the green light on the operating room door lit up that she sat up from her seat.
Then a line of medical staff came out one after another, removing the sterilized masks from their faces.
“Doctor, my husband… how is he?” Chen Peifang timidly started speaking, seemingly eager to know the status of Gu Zhendong.
To outsiders, this timid demeanor might have seemed like concern for Gu Zhendong, but in reality, it wasn’t the case.
Looking at the two women, the doctor’s face took on a grave expression.
“I’m sorry, the surgery was unsuccessful.”
The simple words were like a massive weight suddenly dropping onto Gu Qiangwei, making her body tremble.
Then, they saw the stretcher with Gu Zhendong, covered by a white cloth, being pushed out.
Chen Peifang saw it too and didn’t reveal a devastated appearance. Instead, a subtle hint of joy flashed through her clear eyes.
A tightly wound heart was thus relieved.
The Gu family business was finally her son’s!
After looking at the two women for a moment, the doctor turned and walked away heavily.
Only then did Chen Peifang come back to herself and suddenly threw herself toward the stretcher, crying like raindrops on pear blossoms, “Husband… Husband, how could you just leave … leaving us alone, how are we to live…”
Chen Peifang’s cries echoed through the hallway, causing heartache in those who heard it.
It wasn’t until Gu Zhendong was taken away that Gu Qiangwei’s body suddenly slipped, overwhelmed by the unexpected tragedy.
“Can’t even stand up?”
A deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang out, as a hand reached out and caught her as she almost slipped.
Turning her head slightly, Gu Qiangwei looked up at the man in front of her, her eyes moist.
Qin Sijue was taken aback, his chest feeling tightly constricted, a discomfort passing in a flash.
Her father’s callousness and favoritism had been deeply ingrained in Gu Qiangwei, but now, seeing his lifeless body, her heart felt as if it were suddenly hollowed out, causing her pain so intense she could hardly breathe.
Sensing something off with her, he furrowed his brows, thinking someone must have bullied her!
His intimidating voice resonated deeply, “What’s wrong with you?”
However, the reaction from Gu Qiangwei was to suddenly grab the front of his shirt and bury her face in his chest, weeping silently…
Qin Sijue still didn’t understand what was happening to her, not until she started trembling against him did he realize she was crying.
His heart tightened, and he pulled her away to look into her eyes, which were now reddened, “What exactly is wrong? Tell me!”
Looking at his face, Gu Qiangwei’s crying became more intense, tears blurring her vision.
She might have been able to hold back her tears, but she ultimately failed to conceal her emotions. Brief warm memories from her childhood began to fade from her memory, becoming indistinct.
Listening to her crying and seeing her tears streaming down, Qin Sijue felt a moment of panic and confusion.
It was the first time he faced her , and apart from asking for the reason, he didn’t know how to comfort her.
And she said nothing, leaving his heart unsettled with urgency and irritation.
