Hearing what her older brother said, Gu Yan felt as though her heart had just been stabbed. She looked at her elder sister in disbelief. At that moment, she felt her heart sank.
“Brother-in-law? You’re…” Gu Mian’s mother studied the young man before her. He had a clean and handsome face as well as a friendly aura about him. He was a good man.
“Mom, he is-” Gu Mian immediately tried to explain their situation to her mother, to clarify that she and Tang Zui were no longer husband and wife.
“Mum, my name is Tang Zui. I’m Mian Mian’s husband. We haven’t met until now. It’s on me. Please accept my apology.” Tang Zui immediately threw his arm around Gu Mian’s shoulders and smiled at Mrs. Gu.
Gu Mian held her breath. She could not believe that he had just called her mother “mum” without hesitation. ‘But… we’re divorced. Why is he referring to himself as my husband?’
“So you’re Tang Zui. I heard from Gu Ling that you helped us resolve our financial problems. This time, you have brought a doctor over to save my husband. I should be thanking you.” Mrs. Gu’s affection toward Tang Zui increased sharply. She liked this son-in-law of hers very much.
“Mum… actually…”
Gu Mian wanted to explain their relationship to her family members. Tang Zui immediately held her in his arms tightly. “Mom, you’re too kind. Mian Mian’s dad is my dad yoo, and it’s a son’s responsibility to save his dad. Don’t thank me like I’m an outsider to this family.”
Gu Mian was astonished. ‘What is Tang Zui trying to do? He just called my parents “mum and dad” without hesitation!’
Hearing him, Mrs. Gu instantly broke into tears. As she sobbed, she grabbed Tang Zui by the hand with tears and snot on her face.
Tang Zui did not mind at all. He even wiped Mrs. Gu’s tears for her. No matter what she said, he managed to comfort her with the kindest words of encouragement. Eventually, Mrs. Gu stopped crying and broke into a smile.
Gu Mian was utterly shocked by his attitude. But she could not deny that when she saw him like this, oddly enough, she felt a small surge of warmth in her chest.
Gu Yan gazed at Tang Zui in a daze. Tears fell from her eyes. She refused to accept the fact that this man was her brother-in-law. Since the day Tang Zui saved her from a group of perverts, she had spent most of her waking hours thinking about the man.
Back then, she used to think that good-looking boys in her school would make good boyfriends. However, ever since she encountered Tang Zui, she no longer bothered to look at anyone else. She thought that those boys who tried to pursue her were just a bunch of kids. They were nothing compared to Tang Zui.
Still, she could not believe that the first man she ever fell for was her brother-in-law!
Now, no one was paying attention to Gu Yan anymore. She hid in a corner and kept sneaking glances at Tang Zui, hoping that he would spare her a look.
The nurses transferred Gu Miam’s father from the emergency room to the operating theatre. Mrs. Gu held Tang Zui’s hand the entire time. Gu Mian was genuinely afraid that Tang Zui would shove her mother away in a fit of anger, but he was unexpectedly patient with her. He walked her to the waiting area outside the operating theatre, staying by her side and talking to her while waiting for the surgery to end.
Su Qianxun observed Tang Zui from afar and said, “Tang Zui’s actually not bad. You should consider him and try to develop feelings for him.”
Hearing that, Gu Mian remained silent. She did not know what to say in response. Tang Zui treated everyone kindly, including her parents and family members, but not her…
When Mr. Gu’s surgery ended successfully, Tang Zui was still around. Su Qianxun saw that Mr. Gu was fine and planned to head to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. She wanted to take a blood test to determine if she was really pregnant.
By the time Su Qianxun arrived at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, it was already noon. The doctors were on lunch break, and consultation hours would resume at two in the afternoon. She mused for a while and decided to visit Ke Ran first.
